Chapter 162: Yin‑Yang Dual Birth

"Who dares disturb my long slumber~"

A deep voice echoed through the entire hall, and what floated out of the treasure chest was not a great treasure at all, but a silhouette.

"Sheng Ge, this isn't right—how come the chest you opened gave Gold Coin, while the one I opened gave a coffin!" Chen Guan said with a mournful face, looking at Su Sheng.

Su Sheng shrugged his shoulders: "Blame me, huh~"

Who made Chen Guan so impatient that he just rushed over.

"This should be a BOSS," Chen Guan said, looking at the silhouette floating out of the chest.

The others stared at Chen Guan like idiots; anyone without a brain hole would know that.

"Cough cough..." Chen Guan coughed lightly twice; he also realized he had made a pointless rant, gulped down a Blood Bottle in one go, then his figure slowly vanished as he sneaked away, too ashamed to face anyone.

Huff~

"Yin and yang give rise to each other; extreme yin births yang, extreme yang reveals yin."

"The limit of life is death, and the limit of death is life."

"Am I alive or dead now?"

The silhouette wore a black‑and‑white long robe, hair draped loosely; if not for the corpse‑pale, death‑stilled face, anyone would think it was some hermit from beyond the mortal realm.

"Why is this BOSS talking all cryptic?" Li Wenwan complained.

"I guess this tomb is his burial place; looks like he's an alchemist," Su Sheng guessed, noting the robe and the cryptic speech, both typical of an alchemist.

Through the Demon Suppression Department head, Su Sheng learned that NPCs also have professions; this fellow was probably an alchemist in life.

"We'll know once we fight it, Huan Jie, start the BOSS!" Su Sheng raised his shield and stepped forward.

"Alright!" Lin Huan nodded, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow!

Armor Break Arrow!

Archer level‑30 skill.

Puff~

Immune!

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

What the heck is this?

But the BOSS's stats panel appeared.

Corpse. Yin‑yang Alchemist (Pseudo Commander-level BOSS)

Level: 40

Attack:??

Defense:??

Skills:??

Description: (omitted)

Just like the BOSS from the previous Fengluo Wutong Dungeon, it's a Pseudo Commander-level BOSS, but its level is higher than that of the former Tree Demon.

At this moment the BOSS's robe turned completely white and lightly fell to the ground: "Audacious!"

A yellow sigil flew toward Lin Huan.

Su Sheng stepped directly in front of Lin Huan, raising his middle finger.

Taunt!

-1

Taunt deals a bit of true damage, which can't be immune.

Snap~

-2147!

Stasis!

The yellow sigil exploded, and Su Sheng was instantly immobilized.

Alchemist's Binding Talisman!

Swish~

Huang Mingxin's Healing Technique landed just in time.

The alchemist BOSS swung a massive hand, sending another yellow sigil.

Clap!

-3150

Alchemist, Exorcism Curse.

Su Sheng wore a face as if he'd just eaten crap.

He was being hit while immobilized.

Boom!

Fortunately, now Li Wenwan stepped in.

Flames of fire skills slammed forward.

The burst of concentrated damage emerged; indeed, if immune to physical damage, magical damage can now deal harm.

The BOSS's HP began to drop sharply, while Phoenix Flame Suppression healing was triggered.

There was nothing else; Li Wenwan had to do the damage output, since this guy is immune to physical damage.

After recovering, Su Sheng drank a Blood Bottle; with Huang Mingxin's healing, his HP steadied—this damage would be too much for an ordinary person.

"Wenwan, watch your damage rhythm, I can't deal damage, don't OT!" Su Sheng advised.

"Mm, I understand," Li Wenwan nodded.

Lin Huan and Chen Guan could only watch the show; Su Sheng kept adding taunts to draw aggro, and it's good that taunt's cooldown is short, otherwise Li Wenwan would pull aggro in no time.

Even so, Li Wenwan could only slow her output rhythm.

In that case, this Boss would be hard to beat.

Only Li Wenwan could deal damage; she also had to slow her output rhythm, and it's good that this Boss's healing is in sync with the Elite Boss.

Naturally, the core contributor is the Phoenix Blood Mage's passive Phoenix Flame, which can suppress this Boss's healing; otherwise, there would be no way to fight.

Even so, the fight was still tough; with bad luck, if Phoenix Flame didn't trigger, the Boss's health would just slowly regenerate.

After about half an hour, we had knocked off ten percent of the Boss's health; mainly because luck was poor and Phoenix Flame was hard to trigger.

At that rate, we only have about four and a half hours of game time left today; we simply can't kill this Boss.

However, when the Boss's health reached ninety percent, the Boss floated up again.

"Yin and Yang interact! Extreme Yin gives birth to Yang!"

A low chant came from the Boss's mouth; immediately, the Boss's white robe turned pure black.

Boom!

At that moment, Li Wenwan hurled a fireball.

Resist!

Two big characters floated out!

Su Sheng saw this and his eyes widened.

"Holy shit, scene change, Kong Lang, Huan Jie, DPS!" Su Sheng shouted.

Immediately, Su Sheng took the lead!

Shield Rush!

Shield Strike!

Fang!

-1101

-1671

-2341

Su Sheng's every strike hit either the neck or the eyes; enduring this Boss, though humanoid, was already a corpse, so those weak points were ineffective.

Su Sheng gritted his teeth, Deadly Lion Fang!

With a single shadow step, he appeared behind the Boss and stabbed the back of its head.

-3213

-10

-10

It wasn't a weak point, but luckily Rend triggered.

Puff puff~

At that moment, Lin Huan's arrows also came flying in.

Swish~

Chen Guan's figure appeared again.

Another burst!

This time, after Su Sheng triggered Rend a few times, the Boss's ten percent health dropped in about five minutes, bringing its health down to eighty percent.

The Boss flew up again.

"Yin and Yang interact...."

The robe on its body turned white.

"Wenwan, it's your turn."

Lin Huan saw this and immediately stopped.

Chen Guan also immediately ran far away.

Li Wenwan raised her staff again.

Now everyone knows this Boss's mechanic: it's a combination of the two previous monster types.

When in white robe, it's physically immune.

When in black robe, it's magically immune.

Once you know the mechanic, it's easy to handle.

With Su Sheng able to tank, Li Wenwan can just slowly chip away; also thanks to Li Wenwan being a Phoenix Blood Mage, she's quite strong.

This dungeon can be said to be quite difficult; you need a tank that can hold, strong magical output, strong physical output—three core points, none of which can be missing.

However, looking at the Yin-Yang Master before us, Su Sheng was already anticipating his drop.

The previous giant Wutong tree of Phoenix Fallen Wutong was also a pseudo-Commander Rank, yet it gave us plenty of good stuff.

Li Wenwan's Phoenix Blood Mage came from that Wutong tree.

With everyone's tacit cooperation, the Boss's health was steadily dropping; the only trouble is that during the white robe phase it relies too much on luck, and Li Wenwan finds it hard to avoid pulling aggro without the Phoenix Flame state suppressing the Boss's healing.

But overall there's no major problem...
