Chapter 408: Earth Elemental Golem

After the shield went up, Wu Zhaodi finally saw the situation clearly and was a bit surprised.

Fortunately, the entrance to this tomb chamber isn't large.

Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi stood side by side; especially with Su Sheng in Mounted State, the two could block the entire doorway.

Clack clack clack—

At this moment, the countless monsters had already arrived.

Taunt!

Su Sheng raised his middle finger.

Taunt!

Wu Zhaodi also activated the Taunt skill.

But the designer of the Zhu Lu Game had a bit of cleverness.

The taunt animations differ between male and female players; otherwise a maiden knight raising the middle finger… would feel odd.

Female knights' taunt is to raise the index finger and sway it left and right, a negating gesture.

In fact, for male comrades… the taunt value is maxed out.

Earth Elemental Golem (Elite Monster)

Level: 45

Attack: 3000 (magic)

Defense: 2600

HP: 30000

Skills: Earth Spike, Rock Spear.

Description: A Great Elf created this tomb guard using natural magic.

Level‑45 Elite Monsters, all over two meters tall; if there were only a few, Su Sheng wouldn't be worried at all.

The main issue is…

Damn, they all activated instantly!

All the monsters on the first floor immediately generated aggro.

If we were in an open spot, we'd be beaten to death.

Now we can only block the door and fight slowly.

But the risk is still considerable.

Looking at the skills, they seem to be ranged monsters.

Even though their collision size limits how many can face Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi directly, there are still many that can attack the two from a distance.

Sure enough…

Thump thump thump—

Rows of earth‑colored rock spears covered the area.

At a glance, at least a dozen or twenty.

Fortunately, these guys are large; when packed together, about twenty can reach both Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi simultaneously.

Even so… they're already hard to handle.

"Ranged DPS, stay at maximum distance," Su Sheng commanded.

Since these monsters attack from range, being too close makes them select you as a target.

Puff puff puff—

Rock spears began to fall.

-1731

-1163

…

These are the damages Su Sheng has taken; of course Su Sheng hasn't entered Falling Demon Body yet.

-1498

-1568

-1603

…

These are the damages Wu Zhaodi has taken; as a professional damage‑absorbing class, with shield active she gains damage immunity plus high defense and toughness bonuses.

If their defense stats are equal, Wu Zhaodi would definitely resist more than Su Sheng, but there's nothing we can do—after all, Su Sheng is a stat monster.

Over twenty rock spears.

Su Sheng took eleven, but his Fireworks Blessing Shield still had some time left; his health didn't drop, and the Fireworks Blessing shield wasn't fully broken.

Wu Zhaodi took nine, losing half her HP.

Swish swish—

The two Priests, Huang Mingxin and Bai Pangpang, reacted quickly; they instantly restored Wu Zhaodi's health.

Their healing… is still abundant.

"DPS!"

Su Sheng thrust his long spear forward!

Deadly Lion Fang!

Fortunately, these guys are tall—each over two meters—so the ranged characters behind, such as Li Wenwan and Lin Huan, can attack the golems over Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi's heads.

Otherwise, given the collision volume, they couldn't possibly touch the monsters inside.

Su Sheng, to create attack space, directly cancelled the Mounted State.

Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi, barely managing, happened to block the doorway.

Su Ba, Lin Huan, and Li Wenwan all launched ranged attacks.

As for Murong Peipei, the Combat Mage, although specialized in melee, that doesn't mean she lost all ranged skills.

Of course, the damage is certainly less than melee.

Next are Chen Guan and Shen Yang, each holding a small short crossbow, cowering behind… biubiu…

The Assassin class can also equip short crossbows, but likewise… the output capability drops dramatically.

But there's no choice; in this situation, it's impossible to let those guys rush out.

So the main damage dealers are Su Ba, Lin Huan, and Li Wenwan…

Of course, the second place on the damage contribution list…

It turns out to be Su Sheng.

After all, Su Sheng taking the Golem damage directly is not low.

It was extreme, but he held up.

Thanks to the two Priests; otherwise it really wouldn't hold.

Puff puff puff~

One by one, the Golems fell under everyone's damage.

A level‑45 Elite Monster, being a Dungeon monster, provides a fairly substantial amount of experience.

Half an hour passed…

Su Sheng again had the Suan Ni grant Wu Zhaodi a Fireworks Blessing.

Su Sheng silently took out a Blood Bottle.

At the same time, there were 20–21 Golem monsters that could attack both Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi, and Wu Zhaodi was finding it a bit strenuous to hold them.

Therefore, Huang Mingxin and Bai Pangpang's main focus was on Wu Zhaodi.

Su Sheng, for endurance, didn't activate the Falling Demon Body; by leeching life and using Blood Bottles, and occasional healing from Huang Mingxin, it was still justifiable.

Several times, Wu Zhaodi's HP dropped to a quarter.

Later, Su Sheng simply applied the Suan Ni's Fireworks Blessing to Wu Zhaodi at the critical moment, and that barely held.

No one knew how many Golems they'd slain, but by now a small pile of loot had accumulated before Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi.

Fortunately, loot inside the Dungeon doesn't disappear like on outdoor maps if left uncollected for a while.

Also, after these monsters' corpses fall, they don't accumulate; the second corpse causes the first to respawn, otherwise the doorway would have been blocked long ago.

Inside the Dungeon, as long as you don't exit, the loot won't respawn.

"Keep killing!"

Everyone was in pain and joy simultaneously.

Experience was steadily climbing.

The monsters seemed endless…

A full hour passed…

Finally, the Golems in front of Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi began to thin out.

Fang!

Puff~

The last Earth Elemental Golem fell apart.

Su Sheng plopped onto the ground.

So tired, mentally exhausted.

The whole time, an hour and a half, without a pause.

The others didn't fare any better.

Huang Mingxin gave Wu Zhaodi a continuous heal, and then just leaned on the staff, unwilling to move.

"Take a break and sort the loot."

Su Sheng looked at the loot ahead and spoke.

Just the Gold Coins had already piled into a small heap.

"Boss, I'm coming!"

Shen Yang is always full of energy.

But he's also an 18‑year‑old youngster; earlier he was just idly holding a short crossbow, and he and Chen Guan were the most relaxed.

Shen Yang hopped over.

Grinning, he collected the loot.

"Not bad…"

"Hmm, a small blue premium item."

"Hehe… got rich, Gold Coins are over three thousand now."

"Ah hey… purple."

Finally, Chen Guan couldn't resist and ran over to pick things up together.
