Chapter 536: Yan Huang Begins to Grow

"Who dares to be so reckless?!"

A shout rang out.

When the Yan Huang forces finally cleared these peripheral horse bandits, they saw a bandit camp about the same size as the current Yan Huang Base.

It was much more rudimentary, with scattered simple wooden fences, and not even a single City Gate.

These bandits, though highly experienced, only dropped base construction materials; not a single copper coin fell.

Truly worthy of being a Base-exclusive quest monster…

As the Yan Huang party approached, a horse bandit riding a tall steed, clad in armor, charged out with over a hundred similarly armored bandits.

Looks like it's a BOSS.

"Spawn!"

No need to say more; the BOSS appears, just fight it.

Spawn~

A streak of light fell from the sky, striking the BOSS's head directly.

Lin Huan's Star-Chasing Arrow! Super map cannon!

Puff~

-7711!

Over seven thousand damage from a single arrow, already quite impressive.

But Su Sheng, aware of Lin Huan's Hidden Class skill, grew solemn; this damage didn't add up.

It's magical damage, and Lin Huan also has the Precision Ring. (Chapter 36)

Although it's only a level‑15 blue ring, the accessory is scarce, and it grants a 2% damage increase per meter, which is quite useful.

Especially now that Lin Huan has the ultra‑long‑range map cannon skill with the Star‑Chasing Arrow, the arrow's execute power, in some respects, already surpasses the Dawn's Judgment Priest.

Based on the distance, and the skill's decent multiplier, the damage after the Precision Ring's boost should be at least thirty‑something thousand.

In the end, it only dealt seven thousand.

Spawn~

Heal jumps.

+17000

The bandit's health bar is now full.

HP regen per second... seventeen thousand!

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Lin Huan also posted the BOSS's attribute sheet.

Bandit leader (Pseudo Commander-level BOSS)

Level: 58

HP:??

Attack:??

??

??

??

A level‑58 Pseudo Commander-level BOSS; Su Sheng narrowed his eyes, no wonder Huan Jie's earlier arrow did so little damage.

But a level‑58 pseudo commander... should be able to hold up.

"Refresh the buff, I'll pull the BOSS."

"Wu Zhaodi, bring a squad of guard knights over there and pull the minions." Su Sheng looked at Wu Zhaodi.

Only... Wu Zhaodi stared at the BOSS, looking eager to try.

"Chairman, how about... let me try," Wu Zhaodi said, raising a massive Tower Shield toward Su Sheng.

Hearing that, Su Sheng was slightly startled, then recovered; Wu Zhaodi had already switched to a Hidden Class, a professional tank position.

During this period they hadn't faced any major bosses, except for one battle with Qiancheng Muxue and the Imperial Dynasty, and otherwise had little major activity.

Thus, when confronting this BOSS, Wu Zhaodi's itch to act was understandable.

"Alright, be careful."

Su Sheng thought it over, then nodded in agreement.

After all, she's a professional tank; after switching to the Earth Shield Guard, she's truly Yan Huang's number‑one tank, so how could he steal her job?

Su Sheng chuckled.

I'm just a hands‑off manager~

Immediately, Wu Zhaodi raised the massive Tower Shield and stepped forward, watching the bandit BOSS, hit by Lin Huan's arrow, charge forward.

Taunt!

Taunt!

Two taunts!

After switching to the Earth Shield Guard, Wu Zhaodi also gained an extra Taunt skill.

Truly a professional damage‑absorbing profession.

"Ha!"

Wu Zhaodi raised the Tower Shield with a shout.

After receiving two taunts, the bandit BOSS's threat was immediately drawn to Wu Zhaodi.

Boom!

Yellowish light flowed on Wu Zhaodi's multiple beats; the tower shield, already huge, seemed to expand a bit more.

Interesting…

Su Sheng wasn't in a hurry to do anything else either, just watching Wu Zhaodi perform.

"Die!"

The bandit chief's weapon was a long-handled greatsword, and he charged over with a single strike.

Boom!

The tower shield was huge; Wu Zhaodi hardly needed to adjust her position and could directly block the attack.

The greatsword, glowing with light, struck the shield.

Wu Zhaodi shuddered all over, yet did not retreat a step.

-6331

-189 (Reflect Damage)

+633

One appeared above Wu Zhaodi's head, the other above the BOSS's head.

Healing also appeared above Wu Zhaodi's head.

Reflect Damage at 3%, restoring 10% of the damage taken as HP.

Pretty interesting.

At this moment, Wu Zhaodi's HP reached over forty-six thousand, still quite easy, with the Priest Guild behind her.

"Not bad."

Su Sheng nodded slightly.

Earth Shield Guard, not bad.

For this Earth Shield Guard, feuding with the Imperial Dynasty isn't a loss; some things… are worth fighting for.

Swish~

Wu Zhaodi raised her shield.

Boom!

-3711

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow; this damage is good, far above that of an ordinary defensive knight.

Soon, Wu Zhaodi directly grabbed the BOSS's aggro.

"Damage!"

Lin Huan nocked an arrow.

Cry~

The Fire Phoenix soared into the sky.

Swish swish~

Blade energy crisscrossed.

Accompanied by flying talisman seals.

Yan Huang's new Hidden Class members all took action.

Phoenix Flame was triggered immediately.

The Priest kept up, and Wu Zhaodi's current tanking was no pressure.

Su Sheng saw this and showed a hint of a satisfied smile.

Yan Huang… even without me, it's already a qualified top-tier guild.

Then Su Sheng, this time, simply decided not to intervene, directly pulled the reins, and went to deal with those ordinary small monsters.

The elite monsters brought out by the BOSS were all level 55 or above, their attributes much higher than those of the ordinary monsters outside before.

However, their numbers were few, and they were easily dealt with.

After these small monsters were cleared, Su Sheng turned back and just saw the BOSS's HP drop to ninety percent.

"Take this!"

"Die!"

The bandit BOSS swung his greatsword, a crescent-shaped bright blade light lashing out.

Thud~

Nothing happened…

A yellow light shield enveloped the BOSS; this strike directly hit the yellowish light shield, sending ripples.

No damage at all…

Prison Cage Talisman.

No one needs to point anything out anymore; as a leisurely middle-aged person about to enter old age, Su Ba, though his focus isn't as concentrated as Lu Zhe's, can't resist leisure.

Su Ba's progress is almost visible to the naked eye.

The timing of this Mastery is simply perfect.

Su Sheng saw this, hehe laughed, and then rode over leisurely to naturally act as an idle monster on the side.

Although it's leeching, Su Sheng's base stats are there, and the damage he dealt still squeezed into the top of the contribution list.

Next, Yan Huang's five thousand-plus members, in tacit cooperation, steadily proceeded to subdue this bandit BOSS.
