Chapter 410: Second Layer, Two Statues

The earlier trap crossbow bolts were just ordinary Bed Crossbow bolts, but now the ones front and back are crossbow bolts shaped as a yellow light and a red light.

Magic elemental crossbow bolts!

Fire element and Earth element!

Two bolts! And they seem definitely more powerful than the physical crossbow bolts from the first‑layer passage; even Wu Zhaodi, if she tried to take them, would probably be badly wounded.

Wu Zhaodi also reacted immediately, preparing to raise the Tower Shield for defense; she has no idea whether she can block the two magic crossbow bolts.

"Zhaodi, step back and take the monsters' aggro on my side!" Su Sheng said as he pulled the reins.

Wu Zhaodi's body moved before her mind caught up; although she hadn't yet grasped what Su Sheng intended, she stepped back at once.

The two were already standing side by side, and when Su Sheng pulled the reins, he reached Wu Zhaodi's position.

Wu Zhaodi only then realized that Su Sheng was preparing to shield himself from the trap.

Wu Zhaodi gritted her teeth and could only silently activate the Taunt skill to draw the monsters' aggro from Su Sheng's side.

She also knew Su Sheng could endure more than she could! She wasn't 100% sure she could withstand the two magic crossbow bolts here, but Su Sheng would be fine!

Defensive Stance!

Falling Demon Body!

Su Sheng also immediately prepared for defense!

But this time, Su Sheng didn't activate Fireworks Blessing; after all, for Su Sheng, physical and magical defenses are the same, since his physical and magical defense are balanced.

For others it's different; normally magical defense is lower than physical defense, which is one reason the mage elder is so strong.

In a normal T position, aside from the Shield, other armor basically adds no magical defense; there are a few rare special bonuses, but they're very few.

Magical defense mainly comes from accessories, but the drop rate for accessories is already low, and good ones are even rarer.

At this moment, the two magic crossbow bolts were already bombarding one after the other.

Shield Rush!

Su Sheng immediately charged the Earth Elemental Golem in front of him, gaining Dominant Body.

Boom!

Boom!

Two light spheres exploded!

-6989!

-7011

Two damage numbers popped up above Su Sheng's head; with Mounted State and Priest Buff, Su Sheng's HP rose above 40,000, and this hit took just over a quarter of his health, not a big problem!

Su Sheng clicked his tongue; indeed the power was greater than that of the first layer, and unless he gave Wu Zhaodi a Fireworks Blessing, it's uncertain whether she could endure it.

Two Healing Techniques from the Priests landed, restoring Su Sheng's HP.

"Keep going, be careful, the trap's power is increasing."

Su Sheng steadied the monsters' aggro in front of him.

The group advanced steadily again.

But after that, everyone was speechless.

Because in less than ten minutes, three or four traps had already been triggered.

For a moment, everyone was Alexander.

Su Sheng also had a toothache; although Huan Jie had a Detection Arrow, the elemental golems now were much larger than the previous Skeleton Frames, completely blocking the western blue‑brick road, making detection impossible.

"No, we need a different plan! We can't keep blindly pushing forward!"

Su Sheng thought and decided to change tactics.

"Let's hold off on advancing!"

"Huan Jie, Wen Wan, and dad, you use ranged methods to pull monsters over, we will just hold position!"

"After all monsters within the area are cleared, Huan Jie, use your Detection Arrow to open a path, and we'll avoid the traps."

Su Sheng immediately made the arrangement.

But Su Sheng was now a bit worried; he didn't know how many layers this tomb had. This is only the second layer, and as the sub‑T, Wu Zhaodi was already struggling to hold on.

Mainly because she can't withstand the traps!

Based on level, this should be the Third Stage, with level‑50 monsters.

Difficulty ranges from level 40–65; later there will be at least three or four more stages!

Who knows if there will be even more twisted traps ahead!

But we've come this far; let's take it one step at a time, nothing we can do.

Next, the group used Su Sheng's new method, holding their positions and pulling the monsters within the area one by one.

Actually, this seemed much easier; they could pull two at once, with Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi each taking one, killing them slowly.

The efficiency is a bit slower, but there's plenty of time now, so it's not a big issue.

After clearing all monsters within attack range, Lin Huan used a Detection Arrow to illuminate the blue‑brick traps, and then the group proceeded while avoiding those traps.

After using this method, the group didn't trigger any more traps.

But...

Cleaning this tomb passage took a full two hours, and it was clearly much shorter than the first‑layer passage.

But there's no choice; safety requires more time.

Still, there was gain; the experience was plentiful.

The only member still at level 44, Bai Pangpang, leveled up right as the passage was nearly cleared.

At this point, aside from the level‑48 Su Sheng, everyone else in the party had reached level 45.

Among them, Su Ba, Lin Huan and Li Wenwan are all close to level 46.

Even Su Sheng is almost about to level up.

Su Sheng feels that if everything goes smoothly, after clearing this mission Dungeon he will definitely be able to reach level 49.

Su Sheng's level can be described as a lone rider leaving the dust behind.

After passing through this passage this time, there is no longer a doorway; ahead is directly the entrance to a tomb chamber.

The group rested for a few minutes, then Lin Huan first fired a Detection Arrow, and they entered.

Great Elf Tomb, second floor!

As expected, it's the second floor.

However, unlike the first floor, the tomb now is not filled with dense monsters; instead it is quite spacious.

Only... two statues.

One on the left, one on the right.

One side is a statue holding a yellow hammer and shield, the other side is a statue bearing a red great sword on its shoulder.

"It should be the BOSS."

Chen Guan said, watching the two massive statues in the arena.

Everyone could tell that this second floor should be a BOSS stage, but...

Two at once?

"Let's activate them first." Su Sheng had no other choice either, so he had to grit his teeth and try.

"However, these two BOSSes are probably puppets; judging by their appearance..."

"The earth‑yellow one leans toward defense, while the red one leans toward offense."

"In that case, we split into two teams."

"Sister Wu Zhaodi, Sister Li Wenwan, Dad, Sister Ming Xin and Shen Yang, you go deal with the yellow BOSS."

"The rest of us will deal with the red BOSS together with me."

Su Sheng's arrangement was the safest.

Seeing that the yellow BOSS favors defense, the sub‑tank Wu Zhaodi, together with the Chief Healer Mom and the strongest damage dealer, go to handle it.

And Su Sheng, who can endure and also fight, leads the Second Healer Mom and the others to face the offense‑oriented BOSS, which should be fine.
