Chapter 332: A Tough Boss to Crack
At level 58, it already leads Su Sheng by twelve levels.
Aside from the level, there's basically no information visible.
Looking at this huge puppet boss seven or eight meters tall, level 58…
Su Sheng checked his own stats; with shield state and the priest's buff, his attack and defense reached over 3500.
"Eliminate! Intruder!"
In the moment Su Sheng's thoughts drifted, the boss had already approached, and a huge hammerhead came crashing down.
Shield Raise!
Defensive Stance!
Boom!
-3771
One hammer strike dealt over three thousand.
Su Sheng frowned slightly; he couldn't hold out like this.
The shield of the lion-like Xiao Jia Huo can only withstand three or four hits before it's gone.
With his various stacked states, his HP neared forty thousand, plus Zhu Meng Xiao E's healing, combined with the shield of the lion-like creature…
Whether it can be cycled through remains the problem.
Click-click-click~
But the boss won't wear down Su Sheng.
The other arm also brought down a hammerhead.
Boom!
-4008
That hammer strike directly dealt over four thousand damage.
Taking hits without striking back isn't Su Sheng's style.
One-handed spear thrust!
Fang!
Actually, Su Sheng really dislikes this puppet-type boss.
Because he doesn't know where the weak point is.
The puppet in the Demon Energy Castle before was fine; its weak point could be seen on its back.
Although… Su Sheng still couldn't reach it.
But this huge guy before him is entirely covered in heavy brown-black, with no visible seams at all.
Even, Su Sheng's spear pierced precisely into the seam where the boss's leg joint connects.
Ding~
A clear metallic collision sound.
-3400
Just ordinary damage,
And only just over three thousand.
Rend didn't trigger either.
But this Elite BOSS likely has around a million HP, recovering eleven thousand per second.
1.1 million HP.
If you don't hit the weak point or use Rend to suppress healing, there's basically no way to defeat it.
Your damage output still can't keep up with its healing.
Boom!
Immediately after, it smashed down another garlic-head.
The Defensive Stance hasn't dissipated yet…
Suddenly, Su Sheng had a flash of inspiration.
While holding the shield with his left hand, he thrust his spear forward again with his right hand.
The red cape on his back instantly turned black.
Boom!
Hit!
-1233
-397
Two damage numbers.
One is the damage dealt by the boss, the other is the HP loss per second from Su Sheng's Falling Demon Body.
Seeing the damage the boss inflicted, Su Sheng raised his eyebrows—indeed, it was as expected!
His previous defense of nearly 3500 hadn't reached the defense threshold against this puppet boss's attack strength.
Thus, the overwhelming attack power, even after the damage reduction from Defensive Stance, could still inflict three to four thousand damage.
But after activating Falling Demon Body, his attack and defense increased by thirty percent, reaching over 4500.
That should be reaching the defense threshold, so it only dealt over a thousand damage.
The damage from Chasing the Deer's attack isn't a simple attack minus defense calculation.
Once attack reaches the break-defense standard, the resulting damage increases greatly; likewise, when the defense threshold reaches the attack threshold, damage is greatly reduced.
You only need to activate the Falling Demon Body when taking a hit, lose one percent HP, and once the defense threshold is reached, drastically reduce the damage taken.
Overall, counting the HP loss from the Falling Demon Body, the damage taken is reduced by about half.
That way, the operation is possible.
Su Sheng smiled, a damage of three to four thousand at once, can't withstand…
But halved, it's easy.
However, at this moment, Su Sheng also noticed a situation.
-5750
Just now, the casual shot I fired at the BOSS actually dealt Weak Point Damage; although it wasn't a crit, it was higher than a Fang shot's damage.
Just now…
Where did it hit?
Su Sheng really didn't notice.
I'll think about it later…
Su Sheng raised his middle finger again.
Two Taunts, the threat has basically stabilized.
Taunt skill has a short cooldown, which is why a regular defensive knight, though lacking attack power, can stably control threat.
"Threat stabilized, damage output!"
"By the way, Zhu Meng Xiao E, watch my cloak; when the black cloak is on, don't give healing."
"Also…"
"This BOSS should also have a weak point location; we just dealt Weak Point Damage, but I haven't found the spot yet. Keep an eye on it later and see if we can locate the weak point."
Su Sheng instructed the members of the Dream Building Squad.
"Understood, Chairman!"
"Received!"
... the Dream Building Squad responded in chorus.
With the Dream Building Squad's skill and awareness, Su Sheng doesn't need hands‑on teaching; a simple reminder is enough.
Then the steady BOSS‑fighting rhythm began.
Only…
It's so torturous to fight.
Su Sheng can hold on, but the damage output is a bit too strained.
The Dream Building Squad's full‑force damage output barely matches the BOSS's healing rate, and only by Su Sheng pulling out a hand to assist can they barely deal any real damage.
Meanwhile, Su Sheng repeatedly tested the Fang and Deadly Lion Tooth Skill.
Four or five skills before a Rend effect triggered once.
Although the Rend effect does suppress healing, this puppet BOSS's HP is so massive that it would take forever.
But the Dream Building Squad members have already done their best.
Especially Zhu Meng Qipaoshui, who switched to defensive knight; each time Su Sheng arrives, it's basically Su Sheng controlling threat.
Then Zhu Meng Qipaoshui becomes redundant.
At this moment, Zhu Meng Qipaoshui, wielding a short hammer and a Tower Shield, is vigorously scraping the BOSS's foot.
But the hammer in Zhu Meng Qipaoshui's hand looks pretty decent.
After Zhu Meng Qipaoshui attacks a certain number of times, the hammer bursts into a cluster of purple thunder, dealing quite high damage.
Hmm…
At least Zhu Meng Qipaoshui's damage is higher than Holy Light Priest Zhu Meng Xiao E's damage.
It's almost catching up to sorcerer Zhu Meng Qingyuan (lol).
Almost twenty‑plus minutes have passed, and the BOSS's HP hasn't dropped below ten percent.
Even the lazy slacking suan ni Xiao Jia Huo was pulled out by Su Sheng, clawing the BOSS here and there.
The Divine Dragon Probe Claw after cooldown rotation can still unleash a massive damage, since it ignores armor with armor‑piercing damage.
Its high‑frequency crit rate makes Xiao Jia Huo's damage output almost equal to Furious Warrior Zhu Meng Ali, surpassing Zhu Meng Qingyuan.
Zhu Meng Qingyuan and Zhu Meng Qipaoshui exchanged a glance, feeling like the humans were no better than pets.
If this continues, it's enough to be infuriating.
Su Sheng furrowed his brow.
Must find the weak point location.
Where exactly was the weak point we just attacked?
We've been fighting so long, and aside from the accidental hit I landed at the start, no one else has hit it again.
Su Sheng attacks the BOSS while observing its condition…
Weak point location…
