Chapter 207: Ambush

"Strange, there's no BOSS?" Li Wenwan looked around, scanning the surroundings.

Under normal circumstances, each Dungeon stage should have a gate‑keeping BOSS.

But after traveling here, clearing demon wolves for about an hour and a half, we've already encountered the second type of monster, yet still haven't seen the first gate‑keeping BOSS.

The experience was quite generous; the four of us split it evenly, and Su Sheng even shared some of his experience with his pet Suan Ni, bringing Su Sheng's experience close to over 50%, not to mention the accumulation from the time spent in Zhuque Main City.

Pet Suan Ni's level even reached Level 19, and its HP is simply excessive.

But Su Sheng is now troubled not by the first gate‑keeping BOSS, but by the second wave of monsters below, giving him a headache.

A group of… floating ghosts in mid‑air.

Seeing these ghosts gave Su Sheng goosebumps, because this type of monster has a special trait: a certain physical exemption.

They might even be completely physically immune.

Why did such disgusting monsters appear?

Su Sheng feels helpless…

The other three women looked around but also saw no sign of a BOSS.

"Let's keep grinding, Wenwan sis, it's your turn to perform." Su Sheng also glanced around; perhaps there's no gate‑keeping BOSS? It could be a special Dungeon mechanic.

The four of them can't just wait, so they decided to spawn monsters.

"No problem." Li Wenwan smiled and raised her staff.

Regarding those ghost‑form monsters, Lin Huan also felt helpless; physical classes are probably very resistant to them.

But Lin Huan still has Burning Arrow!

Boom—

After Li Wenwan's Fireball, Lin Huan's Burning Arrow followed, instantly covering the pitch‑black ghost with a thin layer of red flame.

Village ghost. Demon

Level: 50

Attack:??

Defense:??

HP:??

Skill:??

Description: Villagers who died tragically in the village, turned into ghosts under the corruption of Demon Energy.

Although unfriendly to physical classes, this type of monster shares one trait: they are squishy.

Swoosh—

The ghost screamed and rushed forward; Su Sheng raised his shield and stuck up his middle finger!

-1

Then the ghost turned, and just before it reached him, Su Sheng swung a sword.

-341

Fine.

Su Sheng instantly lost any desire to attack.

Although not outright physically immune, under Huang Mingxin's buff my attack power is close to two thousand, yet a single sword only dealt this little damage; the physical exemption is probably as high as 70‑80%.

But it was brief; this ghost vanished instantly under Li Wenwan's overwhelming firepower.

The experience is considerable; after all it's a level‑50 monster, and the Dungeon has no experience protection, so killing monsters ten levels higher yields high experience.

But Su Sheng is puzzled: is this really a level‑40 difficulty Dungeon? Level‑50 mobs have already appeared.

However, the Demon Suppression series of missions never seems simple; even in Demon Suppression III, having to kill the small town's final BOSS was already absurd.

The Demon Suppression VI Dungeon is probably also tough; although the apparent difficulty is only level‑40, the first wave is level‑48 and the second wave is level‑50.

Keep killing monsters—

Facing these ghosts, Su Sheng basically settled into being a tank, Lin Huan occasionally fired a Burning Arrow Projectile with a debuff, while the core damage dealer remained Li Wenwan.

It also helps that these ghost‑type monsters are very squishy; otherwise, with their terrifying physical immunity, Li Wenwan alone would struggle to output, even though they're only level‑50 mobs.

As each ghost is cleared, the group continues deeper.

Hm?

But at that moment, Su Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his peripheral vision glancing toward a few obscure spots.

Su Sheng's brow furrowed a little, pondering a strategy and calculating distances.

Su Sheng turned back to look at Lin Huan, a bit sluggish.

Stirring the grass to scare the snake seems not ideal, and it might not even be catchable.

In that case…

Su Sheng recalled the earlier movements of those guys.

He then opened the party channel, typed a few lines, but said nothing.

The other three women saw the party message, were slightly startled, then recovered and silently nodded.

Immediately after, the party maintained its previous pace, continuing to clear those ghost monsters.

Just after Li Wenwan unleashed a skill and halted her attack, she pulled out a blue potion, ready to restore mana.

Meanwhile, the low‑HP ghost was still entangling Su Sheng.

At that moment.

Swish—

A cold ray, moving at extreme speed, shot toward Li Wenwan.

But Li Wenwan had already been prepared, instantly stopped drinking the potion and immediately retreated.

Resist Fire Ring!

Boom!

The huge fiery-red fire ring spread again.

But this time, the black shadow merely paused slightly, and was not blown away like those demon wolves before.

Li Wenwan couldn't help but exclaim: "BOSS!"

Resist Fire Ring is one of the Mage's self-preservation skills.

Basically all players, including monsters, can be pushed back, of course except for those in Dominant Body state and bosses.

And this black shadow actually withstood the impact of Resist Fire Ring.

No doubt, it's the boss.

The wolf-type boss is likely the first stage's guardian boss; I didn't expect this guy to be so cunning, actually chasing all the way here.

This is deep into the second wave of phantom monsters.

Su Sheng was also caught off guard; at first, Su Sheng only saw footprints, so he became alert.

Originally I thought to let Huan Jie scout, but the scouting arrow's range is limited, so it might not reveal anything.

That's right, archers above level 40 gain the scouting arrow, giving them some ability to defend against assassins.

Based on earlier, those demon wolves have a habit of prioritizing attacks on the highest-output core target.

And Li Wenwan has Resist Fire Ring, plus those demon wolves are quite smart, so they never came out.

Since that's the case, Su Sheng had Li Wenwan reveal an opening to drink a blue potion.

In the definition of monsters, this counts as a "supply" phase, and the supply phase is also when players are unprepared.

Thus it attacked.

But actually, Li Wenwan's blue is still over fifty percent.

Everything went according to plan; after the demon wolf made its move, Li Wenwan directly used Resist Fire Ring to push it back, then Su Sheng used Shield Rush to take over.

At this moment, the phantom before Su Sheng is merely a sliver of health left; even without Li Wenwan acting, even if its physical resistance is high, in this heavily wounded state Su Sheng can finish it with a single sword.

But nobody expected that the demon wolf hidden in this darkness would actually be the first stage's guardian boss.

And the boss template directly resisted Li Wenwan's Resist Fire Ring!

"Truth-discerning Beast!"

Su Sheng hurriedly turned around.

Crack~

The demon wolf's huge wolf claw slapped onto Li Wenwan's body.

-10331!

Over ten thousand health!
