Chapter 334: Two Blossoms Each Show a Branch

As time passes, the Detestable Demon Boss's health decreases little by little.

During the fight, several HP Axis Mechanisms were triggered, and Qiancheng Muxue easily caught them with a very small cost.

But soon the Detestable Demon's health approached fifty percent.

"Everyone, get ready!"

"Melee players, spread out formation; ranged firepower, don't stop, full output, push it to fifty percent!"

"Priest, ready the Healing Technique, be prepared to rescue at any moment!"

According to the Boss Health Axis setting, when health reaches fifty percent, a Little Frenzy Health Axis will appear.

Qiancheng Muxue naturally made the corresponding arrangements at once.

The formation surrounding the Boss also spread out.

"Roar!"

Under the ranged fire team's output, the Boss's health was smoothly pushed down to fifty percent.

"The demon general will descend upon the earth!"

The Detestable Demon let out a furious roar.

Amid Qiancheng Muxue's players' vigilance, a ring of black aura burst from its body, enveloping it entirely.

It looked as if a circle of flame was burning around it.

Then…

And it was gone…

"…"

"…"

All of Qiancheng Muxue's players wore bewildered faces.

They all thought you were about to unleash a big move.

But instead, you gave yourself a buff.

"Knight Order, take the monster!"

"Continue attacking the Boss!"

In the arena, a few Guard Knights were dragging the Boss; they themselves thought they were doomed, since their mission was merely to hold the Boss, and the guild's compensation for death was just a loss of one level.

The Guard Knights also held aggro, so the ranged classes kept outputting, suppressing the Boss's health.

But as the attacks came into position, they noticed, apparently…

The damage dealt was even lower.

Clearly it was because of the Boss's buff.

But it's not a big problem; after all, it was just a scrape, now it's just a bit more scraping.

With enough numbers, the scraping can kill; it just takes a bit more time.

But then immediately…

Bang!

A club!

-7731

That Guard Knight's complexion changed dramatically; he instantly started bleeding profusely.

Originally, the Boss's damage topped at just over four thousand, and with the Priest each Guard Knight could endure two to three hits.

But now, they can only endure a single hit.

Qiancheng Muxue's commander also spotted the problem immediately, but hadn't had time to issue orders.

Snap!

Another club came down.

That Guard Knight was instantly killed.

"Quick! Prepare T on top! Hold for a moment, then switch positions immediately!"

After receiving a buff, this Detestable Demon Boss's overall offense and defense increased dramatically.

Swapping T became more frequent; basically each T slot could only hold for a moment. Frequent T swaps cause aggro instability, so the backline's output must slow down, otherwise they'll overtake at any time.

Thus, the overall combat duration has to be extended, raising the coordination demands between commander and players.

In short, the longer the time, the lower the margin for error.

Below fifty percent, players on Qiancheng Muxue's side are being reduced even more frequently.

But most of them are melee players.

Other Health Axis Mechanisms have also been strengthened.

The summoned minions also carry this layer of black flame buff, so the supporting players who join the formation must pay a greater price.

The range of another ground-shaking skill has also expanded.

Caught off guard, Qiancheng Muxue saw the innermost circle of players instantly crushed, losing over a hundred melee players at once.

For a moment, the situation became even more severe.

Nevertheless, Qiancheng Muxue is still one of the top ten guilds; although the losses are greater, the situation hasn't completely collapsed.

The Detestable Demon Boss's health continues to drop.

At this rate, as long as the final ten percent of health doesn't flop, Qiancheng Muxue's capture of this Detestable Demon is just a matter of time.

Of course, that premise is…

No yellow sparrow waiting to swoop on the mantis catching the cicada.

…

…

Two flowers bloom, each showing a branch.

Su Sheng, looking at the puppet BOSS before him, recalled that the Weak Point Damage came when it attacked itself while he casually jabbed a shot, which produced the damage.

When it attacks itself…

Su Sheng began to watch the BOSS's attack motions.

The puppet BOSS raised its hand to attack, and Su Sheng noted the exposed spot beneath its arm.

It was still a brown alloy shell, and Su Sheng made a tentative attack.

Not a weak point…

Strange?

Could it be under the armpit?

Armpit?

While the BOSS's hand was still extended, Su Sheng readjusted the gun tip, restraining the blade!

Swish~

Also not…

Clack clack…

At this moment the BOSS's other arm lifted, and Su Sheng saw a flash of white.

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes; it was a spot inside the puppet BOSS's left arm.

That white flash was absent on the other arm, looking as if the brown alloy shell of that area had been eroded by time, shedding a piece.

Su Sheng couldn't help but think of this puppet BOSS's name.

Ancient...

Good fellow.

Su Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly; it seemed this was the breakthrough point.

Sure enough, the game wouldn't set an insurmountable obstacle.

Since Zhu Meng Junjie and his team could trigger the quest at this stage, even though it's a level‑58 BOSS, there should be a breakthrough point.

Just in time, Deadly Lion Fang's cooldown had reset.

Su Sheng grabbed the reins, facing the BOSS's massive incoming fist; his red cloak turned black, and he thrust out his long spear.

Puff!

The spear tip precisely hit that mottled white spot the instant the BOSS raised its hand.

Critical!

Rend!

-66471!

Over 60,000!

Hitting the weak point triggered Deadly Lion Fang at 100%, causing Rend, while the skill multiplier rose to 3.8, and, coincidentally, it also landed a Critical!

"The weak point is at the white rust‑like spot beneath the left arm!" Su Sheng hurriedly told the Dream Building Squad.

"Received!"

The members of the Dream Building Squad saw the damage Su Sheng dealt, and their eyes lit up sharply!

But soon, Su Sheng realized he seemed to have said something unnecessary.

Because on the inner wall of the arm, ranged classes can hardly reach.

For melee, Zhu Meng Qipaoshui and Zhu Meng Ali... can't reach either!

Too high!

As for why Su Sheng could reach it, it was solely because he was in Mounted Combat and wielded a nearly two‑meter long weapon.

"..."

"..."

Su Sheng felt depressed, and the Dream Building Squad members were also down.

This is where the advantage of a War Knight shows, though we can't deny the defensive knight's defensive specialization; aside from Su Sheng, the usual main tank isn't a defensive knight?

"It's fine, just fight normally," Su Sheng said.

Being able to hit the weak point was already enough.

From now on, Su Sheng's attacks would focus on timing, aiming at the weak point...
