Chapter 542: Initial Clues

Shield Rush charge!

Su Sheng's ram struck the BOSS's skeletal warhorse.

The imbalance effect was directly exempted by the BOSS; as for damage… it didn't break defense.

After all, Shield Rush charge only has a 1.1 multiplier.

Swish~

The BOSS's lance tore through the air and thrust at Su Sheng.

Su Sheng directly performed a Shield Strike, raising it upward.

Scrape~

A grating sound that makes one's teeth ache.

-1178

1.7 multiplier, but the shield lacks armor penetration, dealing only a pitiful over a thousand damage.

But what surprised Su Sheng wasn't this…

But rather.

Block Parry!

Damage Exempt!

Huh? This spear is a normal attack, and Su Sheng's shield triggering a Shield Strike counts as an attack.

The attacks collided, yet it was judged as a Parry, and the shield parried the bone spear.

Interesting, it's actually an unexpected joy.

After all, getting hit by this spear directly deals over ten thousand damage.

Swish swish~

Flame Yellow members were focusing fire output.

However, the vast majority were just tickle damage.

Good thing there are many people…

Still barely able to suppress the BOSS's healing, and with Li Wenwan occasionally triggering Phoenix Flame.

The BOSS's HP is steadily decreasing, although it's quite slow.

After all, most attacks basically don't break defense, they can only be tickle…

But precisely because of this, Su Sheng firmly maintained the BOSS's hate.

At least Su Sheng himself is still a knight class template, with Taunt, Heroic Strike, and a series of knight basic skills, all of which basically have extra hate attraction.

Moreover, the Hidden Class's skills still have such high output.

There's no need to worry about OT at all.

Furthermore, Su Sheng has an entire Flame Yellow Priest Guild behind him, so he doesn't need to overly worry about whether he can hold his ground.

Looking at it this way, this level 60 Commander Rank BOSS is just like that.

But Su Sheng didn't let down his guard at all; how far have we gotten?

For now, it's just the most basic skills and attacks, and I can barely withstand them.

…

Under everyone's focused fire output, the BOSS's HP quickly dropped to ninety percent!

HP Axis Mechanism triggered!

You mortals really annoy me.

Immediately after, the hate value was cleared.

Su Sheng frowned; the most aggravating thing is this kind of boss that clears hate value via the HP Axis Mechanism.

This also means the BOSS's HP Axis Mechanism burst skill will randomly retarget.

The bone spear in the BOSS's hand was randomly flung.

The bone spear was directly thrown out; it looks like the target is the rear archer squad, and although Lin Huan had already led the archers out of attack range…

But it seems it's still within the BOSS's lock-on range.

Su Sheng frowned; even this far away, we still haven't escaped the BOSS's lock-on range.

Su Sheng glanced at the surroundings; the range won't be the entire camp, are they all within this BOSS's attack range?

If that's the case, it's troublesome.

At this moment, the archer squad led by Lin Huan had already pressed against the camp's wooden fence, with no way to retreat further.

Any further retreat would mean leaving the camp.

The troublesome aspects of this BOSS have already begun to show.

Su Sheng raised his shield, just about to take action…

This bone spear must be blocked!

Just then…

Pop~

Prison Cage Talisman!

For this move, Su Ba is now quite adept.

The bone spear directly struck the Prison Cage Talisman's light shield, shattering into fragments of bone across the sky.

Unfortunately… all of them were trapped within the Prison Cage Talisman's range.

"Damn it!"

The boss waved both hands; bone fragments across the sky re‑condensed in his hands, forming bone spears.

It's foreseeable that if this strike were thrown into the crowd, the exploding bone fragments could directly kill many people.

The damage of these bone fragments is absolutely not low.

Moreover, the coverage seems quite wide, but Su Ba easily broke through this danger with a single Prison Cage Talisman.

This health axis was passed safely.

But Su Sheng's face looked bad; judging from the observed situation, it seems the boss's lock‑on range probably covers the entire camp.

This is only the first health‑axis mechanism; it's hard to guarantee he won't pull something else next.

Or rather, there will surely be other means—after all, he's a level‑sixty commander‑rank boss; how could he have only these three axe moves?

But for now we can only take it step by step.

Continue attacking the boss according to the previous rhythm.

Although Su Sheng is struggling to hold the line, with the whole priest guild behind him he can barely stay stable.

His health has been going up and down like a roller coaster.

Su Sheng didn't even use the fireworks blessing of the suanni.

Throughout, no other mishaps occurred, and his health was smoothly brought down to 80% again.

The second health axis triggered!

Su Ba gripped the Prison Cage Talisman, ready at any moment.

But this time…

Yet the boss wasn't throwing his own bone spear this time.

Moreover…

Su Sheng also noticed that this time the boss didn't clear his hatred.

"Lackeys, rise and fight alongside me once more."

The boss raised the bone spear in his hand and let out a furious roar.

Whoosh—

Originally, the rebel bones scattered on the ground quickly condensed into twenty or thirty skeleton frames.

Grrr—

Then green ghost fire lit up in the eye sockets.

The boss's ghost fire is red, but these ordinary skeleton frames are green.

Immediately afterward, these ordinary skeleton frames lunged at Su Sheng in neat unison.

Su Sheng's face darkened; there were also five or six skeleton crossbowmen wielding large bows.

Just holding off this boss alone is already taxing; if these skeletons come to join the fray, I might well end up "inverted T".

The first health‑axis skill seems aimed at a wide range of players.

And this health‑axis skill is probably aimed at the main tank taking damage.

Pfft—

Chen Guan and several of the Ten Court Yanluo immediately attacked those skeleton crossbowmen.

But those skeleton crossbowmen paid no heed to Chen Guan and the others; their bolts kept firing toward our side.

Well…

Su Sheng figured out that the hatred of these summoned skeleton frames follows the boss's own hate value to lock onto targets.

"Fireworks Blessing!"

Su Sheng didn't dare hesitate and directly put on a shield.

"Wenwan sis, keep attacking the boss with normal attacks, using Phoenix Flame to limit his healing."

"Everyone else, focus fire on the other skeletons!"

Su Sheng issued the battle orders.

We can't let these summoned skeletons keep attacking us, or we definitely won't be able to hold out.

Even if the whole priest guild is focused on me, if they all focus fire at once I'd still be insta‑killed.

After a frantic scramble, those summoned little skeletons were finally cleared.

But the boss's health rose back to eighty‑six percent; although Li Wenwan was lucky and triggered Phoenix Flame several times,

but it's still not a one‑hundred‑percent trigger.
