Chapter 558: Yanhuang Town? Bagua Formation!
Because of a normal competition… the hidden class of Xia Shang Xi Zhou and Wu Zhaodi.
It directly involved Qiancheng Muxue targeting Yanhuang; you can see that Ye Tianzi really isn't very magnanimous.
However, since Li Xiao showed up at the door.
Su Sheng can't help but complain.
"Are you pulling my leg? Why haven't I ever seen the Life God Stone?"
"There's no pulling you. That thing's drop rate is low to begin with, and you've been fighting Normal BOSSes, so the rate is even lower," Li Xiao replied.
Su Sheng grinned, "You old kid, you're not honest."
"I haven't even told you whether I'm fighting a Normal BOSS or an Elite BOSS."
"Ah… hahaha, hehe…" Li Xiao began to play dumb.
Su Sheng was too lazy to say more and simply skipped the topic.
In fact, Su Sheng knows that among the players watching his base, there are members from the top ten guilds, and Huan Yu's certainly not missing.
Although the two sides get along well, it doesn't stop Huan Yu from sending people to keep tabs; after all, it's the first guild base of the competition.
Put yourself in their shoes: if Huan Yu were the first to apply for a base, Su Sheng would also send people to watch.
…
…
Then, another three days slipped by.
The entire Yan Huang Base, thanks to the efforts of all Yanhuang members, has already taken shape.
But…
What's bothering Su Sheng is that
the base's layout—whether it's Huan Jie being lazy or being inventive—is unknown.
At first, the village layout seemed quite normal to Su Sheng.
But now the town's layout makes Su Sheng feel… both amusing and funny.
Because of the river running through the base, a normal base is square with four City Gates.
But Yan Huang's base is circular, with two City Gates.
And precisely because it's circular, Lin Huan ended up arranging the layout into… a Bagua!
Whenever Su Sheng opens the base construction interface, it shows a massive Bagua formation diagram.
That's fun—when looking for someone in Yan Huang Base,
"I'm at Du Gate, are you there?"
"I'm at Sheng Gate, come find me."
"No, let's meet at Jing Gate."
"Hmm…"
Just thinking about it makes me laugh.
But…
The Life God Stone still isn't here, and Su Sheng can't quite laugh.
Don't let it reach a point where the whole base is finished but gets stuck on the Life God Stone—that would be a headache.
There's no choice; Su Sheng can only focus on the Elite BOSS.
A level‑70 Elite BOSS—just thinking about it gives Su Sheng a headache.
But there's nothing that can be done; taking such a big leap makes it prone to failure.
Normally, building a small‑town base is beyond what players at this stage can achieve.
Since Yanhuang got this opportunity, it naturally must endure the related trials.
Although the Life God Stone is just a material, it is still an orange‑rank epic material.
Counting on a Normal BOSS to drop orange items, the probability is indeed too low.
Since it's an Elite‑level BOSS, you can't just bring those with Hidden Dragon.
Just before logging off yesterday, the Assassin Guild discovered a freshly spawned level‑72 Elite BOSS right near the base, at the nearest level‑70 Training Spot.
It takes about 25 minutes to reach it from the base.
Nothing more to say!
When the game time went online that day, Su Sheng began rallying people, and for fairness, halted the collection of base construction materials for the time being.
Except for leaving a few people to guard the home.
Yanhuang Guild mobilized over ten thousand members.
The undead knights used against the Easter Egg Quest were deployed in the same manner.
That's one advantage of tackling wild BOSSes—you can use a human wave tactic.
Mutated Dragon Lizard (Elite BOSS)
Level: 72
HP:??
ATK:??
DEF:??
??
??
The regular mobs here are level‑70 dragon lizards, while the BOSS is a mutated dragon lizard.
"Combat formation, I'll start the encounter!"
Su Sheng charges ahead!
Taunt!
-1
Immediately after…
Long spear swing!
Armor-breaking Slash!
The level‑72 BOSS has high level and high defense; first we'll break its armor and hit a wave, then decide.
When we previously faced the Easter Egg Quest BOSS's transformation, Su Sheng said he'd use Armor-breaking Slash, but we found the BOSS wasn't just high defense—it was damage‑immune. Su Sheng didn't use the skill then.
Puff~
No damage, but the BOSS gained an armor‑break effect on its head.
Lion's Claw!
Falling Demon Body!
-23060!
One spear over 20,000 damage, no crit, the damage is absurd!
Can't help it, under Armor-breaking Slash combined with Divine Thunder Magic Light's armor break, the BOSS's armor is essentially nil.
Threat from this hit is basically secured!
"Everyone damage, armor‑break lasts only 20 seconds!" After securing threat, Su Sheng shouted immediately.
However, the armor break from Armor-breaking Slash doesn't stack; other armor‑break effects can't stack on the BOSS either.
But Divine Thunder Magic Light's penetration is calculated separately, not stacking on the BOSS.
Others can only enjoy 80% of the Armor-breaking Slash effect unless they also have their own penetration.
Fang!
Deadly Lion Fang!
Rend double‑hit, both triggered Rend; Su Sheng couldn't help but remark his luck.
But Rend duration doesn't stack; it only refreshes.
Not a big issue, Li Wenwan is still behind.
A single glance, the BOSS was almost stunned.
About three or four seconds later, it finally reacted and counter‑attacked.
Tongue flicks out!
Clack~
-17337!
A single hit over 10,000; ignoring the BOSS's attack, a level‑72 versus level‑51 already has level suppression.
Of course not a big problem, there's an entire Priest Guild behind.
Swish swish swish~
Twenty seconds of armor‑break time, combined with Su Sheng's Rend and Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame Suppression, directly reduced the BOSS's health below ninety percent.
The ninety‑percent health axis is…
Roar~!!
Roar! Dragon Might Roar!
The mutated dragon lizard raised its head and roared!
Sound waves radiated outward in strands.
Su Sheng glanced; the demon seal just triggered, he could only brace, Defensive Stance!
Fireworks Blessing!
This skill, similar to Suanni's skill, feels cheap—maybe it's a trait of the dragon‑blood lineage?
-45031
Suddenly Su Sheng was stunned, Defensive Stance cancelled, and over 40,000 damage spiked; at this stage a normal player can't withstand it.
Stunned, Su Sheng couldn't keep Defensive Stance; otherwise damage would be lower.
Not a big issue, Su Sheng has Suanni's Fireworks Blessing, offsetting nearly 20,000 damage.
As for the others…
This isn't…
Nearby Yanhuang melee players, under the sound‑wave impact, almost a hundred turned into white light.
Healing Technique spams mixed with Purification fell, and Su Sheng recovered instantly.
A Priest Guild healing one person—what a visual!
"Retreat, spread out, melee players stay away, ranged players focus fire!"
Can't help it, melee limitations are huge; in this case any melee besides Su Sheng that gets close gets one‑shot.
But then, everyone started gua sha…
The duration of Armor-breaking Slash has ended.
The next Armor-breaking Slash will be in an hour.
End of Chapter
