Chapter 424: Zombie Bear

Roar~!

A coarse roar echoed, and the elf gravekeeper before us suddenly swelled in size, then quickly transformed into a massive… over three meters tall Zombie Bear!

Its body bore bluish corpse stains, its fur was rotted and ragged, a pair of bluish eyes showed no spark, yet its mouth was lined with terrifying Fang!

Druid!

From the earlier skill we could tell, this elf gravekeeper must be a Druid.

Fifty percent Little Frenzy is a direct bear transformation!

Seeing that Little Frenzy was just a transformation, everyone prepared to come over and keep dealing damage.

But Su Sheng, seeing the Zombie Bear's movements, quickly shouted a halt: "Don't come over yet..."

The others froze at his words.

Likewise, Su Sheng stayed in Shield Raise, activated Defensive Stance, and his cloak remained black.

Roar!!

The Zombie Bear rose to its feet, then viciously pounced on Su Sheng.

Clang!

Su Sheng felt as if a "Apocalypse Four Horsemen" vehicle had slammed into him head‑on.

He staggered back, the Shield Raise was broken, and Defensive Stance naturally fell.

-25000!

A massive damage burst erupted from Su Sheng's head, even after the Fireworks Blessing's 16,000 shield value had mitigated it.

In other words, without the Fireworks Blessing, that pounce could have outright killed Su Sheng.

Su Sheng's remaining HP is only just over 15,000.

He's still in Mounted State, with various buffs…

Terrifying indeed!

And that's not all.

After a single pounce, the Zombie Bear's massive claws slammed the ground, sending a ring of shockwave outward.

Since no one else came forward, the shockwave's damage couldn't be low; a few squishy classes were likely to be outright killed.

25,000… pure damage.

Good thing it's 25,000, otherwise you'd think it's just a 250 scold.

The Blood Bottle's cooldown is ready, so Su Sheng drinks a Blood Bottle.

But at this stage, Blood Bottles from the shop only restore up to 2,000 HP, a fixed heal.

They also have an internal cooldown and only provide percentage-based healing, but such Blood Bottles are exclusive to players with the Alchemist secondary class.

And it must be a senior Alchemist; among senior secondary classes, Su Sheng only sees his mother as a senior Tailor.

Meanwhile, in this Dungeon his mother also contributed significantly.

Although his mother wasn't present, the backpack expansion she provided let everyone carry enough supplies…

Otherwise, just Li Wenwan, Murong Peipei, and the two Priests would have been massive mana consumers.

Without his mother's backpack expansion, they'd be completely out of ammo and food now.

This Dungeon has lasted a full ten hours without clearing.

Including Su Sheng and Wu Zhaodi, the two who don't consume mana potions, both helped gather a lot of mana potions.

Tsk tsk... Over here in Yanhuang we also need to train some Alchemists.

Anyway, let's deal with this boss for now.

After the ground shockwave dissipated, the boss's Little Frenzy phase ended, but it remained in its bear-transformed state.

"Damage!" Su Sheng called for everyone to keep dealing damage.

Huang Mingxin and Bai Pangpang immediately restored Su Sheng's HP.

Swish~

The Zombie Bear swung a massive paw straight at them.

Shield Raise! Falling Demon Body!

-8345!

Damage, higher!

At the same time Su Sheng acted!

Deadly Lion Fang!

Poof~

-6081

Even tougher!

After bear transformation, the boss's offense and defense seemed to have risen a notch; attack up about ten percent, defense up roughly twenty‑plus percent.

Fortunately, overall it's still within tolerable limits.

Snap~

Just then, the Zombie Bear's paw struck, and Su Sheng suddenly couldn't move.

Dizziness!

Su Sheng startled.

Both Priests didn't react, they only healed Su Sheng and didn't cast Purification.

Another bear paw was already howling toward him; Su Sheng was still in Dizziness Status, without Shield Raise or Falling Demon Body, so a single hit would definitely drain a lot of HP!

Even Su Ba's Prison Cage Talisman wouldn't work now; it's too close, the Prison Cage Talisman would enclose both Su Sheng and the boss, so it can't save the situation.

Fortunately, Su Sheng already has a Decontrol Skill.

Roar~

Lion Roar!

Decontrol!

Shield Raise, Falling Demon Body!

Long spear thrust, Lion's Claw!

All in one breath!

However, the Lion Roar's cooldown is quite long, and we still need the Purification of two Priests!

"The zombie bear's normal attack has a chance to cause Dizziness Status! Mingxin, Bai Pangpang, watch my condition and purify promptly!" Su Sheng warned.

"Alright!"

"Understood!"

At this moment, Huang Mingxin and Bai Pangpang finally reacted; what had happened made them glance at each other, both feeling a bit embarrassed.

But they immediately steadied themselves and kept fighting.

Continue the raid!

Mid‑battle, Su Sheng was knocked out a few more times.

However, this time Huang Mingxin and Bai Pangpang reacted promptly and immediately removed Su Sheng's Dizziness Status.

Yet the group's damage to the boss's health wasn't fast!

The pseudo‑Commander Rank boss, already level 65, has rather excessive stats.

Now that it has turned bear‑form, its defense is higher, its total Health Axis seems increased, and it recovers even more.

Also, after bear‑form, its toughness likely rose, so the trigger rates for Rend and Phoenix Flame aren't as high.

So during some skill‑void periods, the boss will heal a bit.

But there's nothing to do but try our best; after all, it's a level‑65 Commander Rank boss.

Fortunately, although Rend and Phoenix Flame have low trigger rates, they can still occur, so the boss's overall Health Axis is slowly decreasing.

If there were no Rend or Phoenix Flame, or even one less, this boss would be impossible to defeat.

Thinking about it, it's understandable; Su Sheng's team is a bit overpowered, with four Hidden Classes and a 'clutch' Su Sheng.

Swap to another team, and fighting a pseudo‑Commander Rank boss ten levels above would be hopeless unless you pull a Thousand‑Person Team or something.

After countless hardships, the boss's Health Axis finally dropped to forty‑one percent!

"Prepare for the next Health Axis, be careful!" Su Sheng warned.

After Little Frenzy, the Health Axis is expected to change.

The others followed the previous tactic: Shen Yang, Chen Guan, and Wu Zhaodi all retreated far, pulling the ranged class to maximum distance.

Suppression!

Health at forty percent!

Roar Roar!

The bear‑form boss roared again, standing up!

Seeing this familiar prelude, Su Sheng raised an eyebrow!

"Spread out!"

Defensive Stance!

Falling Demon Body!

Fireworks Blessing!

"Dad! Try it!"

At the same time Su Sheng stepped back!

Snap~

Binding Talisman + Prison Cage Talisman!

Boom!

The zombie bear's pounce landed directly on the Prison Cage Talisman, missing Su Sheng.

But then the zombie bear's pounce hit the ground, and the shockwave spread....
