Chapter 188: Fatal Easter Egg, Tree Demon

As the others stopped, the BOSS's HP didn't recover.

Because Lin Huan's Phoenix Feather Quiver can store twenty Burning Arrows, one can be stored every ten seconds, and a Burning Arrow Projectile burns continuously for five seconds.

Moreover, Li Wenwan didn't completely stop, occasionally using normal attacks to help trigger Phoenix Flame Suppression.

And the BOSS's Hate Value remained tightly locked onto Lin Huan.

And the BOSS's speed stayed at a snail's pace.

Su Ba was on the side wildly flinging all sorts of chaotic sigils, slowing, dragging, and occasionally adding two Binding Talismans.

Since Lin Huan is an agility-type class, he could always keep a safe distance, drawing his bow and shooting.

Lin Huan also saw the problem.

So they focused fire on a Demon Craftsman as much as possible.

Four minutes later....

Another arrow headshot!

-999999999

Another Fatal Damage knocked down a Demon Craftsman; only three Demon Craftsmen remained inside the BOSS.

Everyone glanced sideways, wondering why another Fatal Damage? Is Lin Huan that lucky?

-200000

Another 200,000 damage leapt from the wooden frame's head.

The remaining three Demon Craftsmen clearly panicked, crazily controlling the wooden frame to chase Lin Huan.

But as Su Ba flung a black‑and‑white sigil, a Yin‑Yang Force Field appeared.

A massive Yin‑Yang Fish spiraled, dragging the wooden frame BOSS; it even triggered Yin Yang Dual Birth, with two Yin‑Yang Fish force fields rotating.

The wooden frame BOSS was hard‑controlled for another ten seconds.

Su Sheng watched, clicking his tongue; this control method was truly exaggerated.

After three minutes, a third Fatal Damage burst out.

-999999999

Seems that when these Demon Craftsmen die, it's an Easter‑egg; the final blow must trigger Fatal Damage, otherwise even Su Sheng's luck couldn't cause three Fatal Damages in such a short span.

After all, it's been so long that Su Sheng hasn't triggered a Fatal Damage himself, and don't forget Su Sheng's Deadly Lion Tooth Skill increases the chance of a fatal attack when hitting a weak point, yet he still hasn't triggered one.

Sure enough, the fourth Demon Craftsman's death produced nine 9‑point Fatal Damage, confirming the Easter‑egg nature.

Inside the wooden frame BOSS, only the last Demon Craftsman remained.

Its HP was under 200,000, and the percentage HP loss from the Demon Craftsman's death didn't trigger any HP Axis Mechanism, making it a boss you can farm.

Finally, under Su Ba and Su Wenhao's various restrictive controls and Lin Huan's precise kill, the fifth Demon Craftsman also fell within a single 9‑point Fatal Damage.

Crack~

As the five controllers all died, the wooden frame BOSS halted, and the black Demon Energy coiled around the wood began to slowly dissipate.

Whoosh~

Without the Demon Energy link, the shoddy wooden frame fell apart, crashing into a pile of red cedar logs.

At the same time, on the ground, a loot item emitted an orange light column, especially eye‑catching.

Swish~

Golden light flashed; the lowest‑level Su Ba leveled up first, restoring to level 28.

Su Sheng glanced at his experience bar, decent, quite impressive, since he's already level 35.

As for that orange glow, Su Sheng didn't mind much; a Normal BOSS can't drop epic gear—it's either a blueprint or materials, no need to think.

Su Sheng walked over, bent down among the red cedar logs, and picked up the loot in the middle.

Sure enough, Su Sheng hadn't guessed wrong.

Siege Puppet. Orange Blueprint

Other loot: one purple item, three green items, all level‑35 gear.

Forceful Heavy Pressure: attack speed slow, 50% chance to cause shockwave, 3*3 range receives 100% attack bonus, and also causes imbalance.

Good teammates, mass-producing divine artifacts.

Just happened to give it to Huan Jie.

The two warrior girls of Huakai, Li Wenyan and Zhang Ziyuan, only one person got assigned the purple exclusive weapon.

This just worked out.

The remaining three greens, better than nothing; anyway Su Sheng didn't like them either, so he threw them all to Huan Jie.

Su Sheng checked the time and had to say this sneak‑chicken method is not bad; the first wave of monsters plus the boss consumed no more than an hour in total.

Dungeon time limit: three hours left.

Originally the demon tribe training ground had three bosses; I don't know how many bosses this one has.

Loot distribution finished, continue advancing.

The second wave of monsters is…

Little Sapling!

Demonized little sapling.

Level: 35.

Stats are decent; anyway they can't break Su Sheng's defense.

Moreover, they are also wooden monsters.

Li Wenwan and Lin Huan's burning arrow projectiles again showed their might.

This time clearing the small monsters took 40 minutes.

Arrived at the exact center of a forest.

At the center stood a huge stump, its whole body entwined with black demon energy, seven or eight meters tall.

If nothing unexpected, this is the boss of this encounter.

Pull the monsters; Li Wenwan launched a fireball, and the boss's status panel appeared.

Red Cedar Tree Demon (Elite Boss)

Level: 40

Attack: 1200

Defense: 1000

HP: 700000

Skills: War Stomp, Branch Pull, Flying Leaf, Red Cedar Tree King, Earth Vegetation (fixed)

Again wood.

Lin Huan nocked and fired, burning arrow projectile combined with armor‑piercing arrow skill.

puff~

-1672

-200

-200

…

Trigger burning, suppress healing!

The burning of the burning arrow projectile is merely a common abnormal state; because of the counter‑relationship, otherwise it really couldn't suppress these bosses' healing.

Roar!!

The entire Red Cedar Tree Demon Boss instantly went berserk.

Strands of black‑demon‑energy‑entwined tree vines whipped over, but the tree demon didn't move an inch from its spot.

Su Sheng recalled the phoenix‑fallen wutong tree demon—couldn't move?

Then it's easy.

Su Sheng stepped directly in front of Lin Huan.

Block!

-475!

The vines were easily blocked by Su Sheng.

Shield Rush!

Immediately, Su Sheng charged ahead first, his voice still echoing where he stood.

"This boss shouldn't move; we'll output from the farthest limit…"
