Chapter 50: Betting Dog's Victory, Take It All

Weak Spot Attack!

Weak Spot Attack!

Weak Point Critical Hit!

Weak Point Critical Hit!

Under suppression, the Tree Demon Boss can't even trigger a seed burst; only normal attacks are possible.

It's simply a thoroughly exhilarating stake‑hitting experience!

With extremely high agility, Su Sheng's attack rate, excluding dodging the Tree Demon's attacks, averages three swords per second.

Mainly because, in Free Mode, Su Sheng smooths the Stiffness of normal attacks very silkily.

Otherwise, ordinary players, no matter how high their attack speed, can't reach Su Sheng's level; two effective attacks per second is basically the limit for regular players.

Under system assistance in non‑Free Mode, melee players manage roughly one hit per second; assassins may be a bit higher, but still limited.

Free Mode versus system‑assisted mode is a watershed between masters and ordinary players.

Three strikes per second, and at such a high attack rate, Su Sheng can precisely predict and hit the flashing red pattern on the Wutong Tree Demon's trunk with each attack.

The black‑red dual‑colored pattern flickers irregularly on the trunk of the Wutong tree.

Maintaining a high attack frequency while precisely predicting hits on the red pattern is truly beyond ordinary people.

As for the black pattern, Su Sheng tried a strike; that's the Demon God Tree Body, dealing forced damage.

Areas without the pattern receive normal damage.

Three attacks per second yield, on average, one Weak Point Critical Hit.

In this situation, Su Sheng can almost output close to three thousand HP of damage per second.

Now, the Wutong Tree Demon's healing is suppressed by Phoenix Flame Suppression, so Su Sheng could indeed deal 400,000 damage within three minutes.

At this level of output, at this stage, even the mage elder would have to bow his head.

Of course, this is the optimal solution assuming zero mistakes.

Occasionally there are long stretches without a critical hit, but combined with skill bursts, the final result is roughly the same.

The only thing to watch is dodging attacks.

Mid‑battle Su Sheng was snagged by a branch, losing five hundred HP.

At full health, Su Sheng only has four or five chances to err.

But Su Sheng doesn't make mistakes that easily.

Throughout the whole fight, he only erred that once!

Finally, right at the exact three‑minute mark.

The Wutong Tree Demon's HP is completely drained.

Boom!

A massive flame instantly spreads over the entire huge Wutong tree.

Su Sheng hurriedly stepped back a short distance.

The temperature is scorching, but no HP is lost.

Su Sheng looks up, watching the entire massive Wutong tree being completely engulfed and burned by flames.

The Wutong tree's branches thrash wildly, yet they melt away piece by piece within the blaze.

As the Wutong tree melts in the flames, plumes of black vapor rise from the blaze.

Those black vapors give Su Sheng a very ominous feeling.

Ancient Demon Energy?

Seeing the black vapors, Su Sheng recalled the description of the Wutong Tree Demon.

However, those rising black vapors eventually dissipate slowly within the flames.

After roughly a minute, the Wutong tree in the blaze is completely turned to ash.

Where the Wutong tree once stood, only a pile of glittering loot remains.

At the same time, a flash of golden light, Su Sheng leveled up to Level 19.

The Level 30 Pseudo Commander-level BOSS was all devoured by Su Sheng alone; without an experience penalty, not leveling up would be unreasonable.

Not only did he level up, his experience directly reached half of what a Level 19 would require.

Nevertheless, Su Sheng did not let his guard down.

Although, the likelihood is low.

But Su Sheng cannot guarantee whether there truly is another BOSS.

System Notification: Congratulations, player, you have cleared the unique mission Dungeon Phoenix Fallen Wutong.

Reputation +100

Having cleared it, Su Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But this clearing reward is way too stingy.

Then Su Sheng looks at the pile of BOSS drops and realizes the biggest reward is likely not the clearance reward but the dungeon loot.

Indeed, Su Sheng was not wrong; this mission's reward won't be high, after all it's just a task issued by an ordinary farmer NPC.

Thus, the core reward actually lies beyond this dungeon.

It has to be credited to Su Sheng; any other person, even a team, probably couldn't clear this dungeon.

Although he used Divine Phoenix True Blood, its enchantment lasts only 30 minutes.

Even though the forced‑defense Demon God Tree Body was broken, without Phoenix Flame state suppressing the BOSS's healing, the 400,000‑HP Pseudo Commander-level BOSS...

Commander-level Boss regenerates 1.5% HP per second.

6,000 HP!

Recovering 6000 HP per second, players at this stage are really arrogant.

Speaking of which, the enchantment of Divine Phoenix true blood lasts 30 minutes, and there are still over twenty minutes left.

If I could go out and kill Boss Phoenix Flame in that state, it would be really comfortable.

But now I don't even know where there's a Boss, and besides, the game map is huge; estimating the time to get there, the enchantment of Divine Phoenix true blood would basically be over.

Also, today's game time is about up.

……

Su Sheng rubbed his hands excitedly, preparing to loot the spoils.

"A Sheng, we've completed the mission, did you succeed? Awesome!"

Huan Jie's private chat arrived.

Although, they've all logged off.

But the team hasn't disbanded, and we can still see Su Sheng's status through the team's combat prompts.

We also found out that the final boss is that Chinese parasol tree, and the boss panel also appeared in the team channel.

When Su Sheng indicated the dungeon was cleared, the others outside, the issue was that the mission was completed.

Su Sheng smiled slightly: "The final boss is dead, I'm about to go loot the rewards."

"Good, we'll wait for you to come out, then we'll turn in the mission together."

If you die in the dungeon, you'll respawn directly at the dungeon entrance, without needing to return to the square to respawn.

"Good."

Su Sheng responded.

Shiny, a huge pile of stuff.

Just the Gold Coin alone is piled up like a small mountain.

I reached out and scooped, gaining 100 Gold Coins.

According to the current Gold Coin Ratio, this is also a considerable income.

Equipment, equipment.

The main event has arrived.

However, the most eye-catching thing is not the equipment.

Two materials!

Divine Phoenix Essence Blood (red)

Material.

Description: The essence blood left behind by the Divine Phoenix to suppress the ancient Demon Energy has now fused with the Demon Energy.

If the Demon Energy is expelled, one can obtain complete Divine Phoenix Essence Blood.

Divine Phoenix Essence Blood, when used, awakens the Divine Phoenix Bloodline with 100% certainty, granting the Hidden Class.

Limitation: Magic Class template.

Using the item, unlock the Hidden Class trial quest "Purify Demon Energy."

"???"

Su Sheng was completely confused, what is this? This is a gambler's victory!

Turns out it was waiting for me here.

If I don't gamble, without using Divine Phoenix True Blood, I can only obtain a Hidden Class by chance.

But without being able to break the Demon God Tree's trunk in this quest and dungeon, it's basically out of the question.

But if I use Divine Phoenix True Blood and then defeat this Chinese parasol tree Boss, I can obtain a Divine Phoenix Essence Blood quest of higher grade than Divine Phoenix True Blood.

Compared to the certain probability of Divine Phoenix True Blood, Divine Phoenix Essence Blood awakens the Divine Phoenix Bloodline with 100% certainty.

All that's needed is to undertake a trial quest to purify the Demon Energy.
