Chapter 565: Skill with 100% Probability
As they brushed past the boss, Qiancheng Lihualuo's long spear thrusts fired in rapid succession; Su Sheng knows this skill well because it had previously been used against him, and after further investigation Su Sheng learned that the skill is called Seven‑Probe Spear, firing seven spears per second, each spear dealing higher damage than the last.
Knight exclusive—more precisely, a War Knight exclusive hidden skill!
Su Sheng's eyes are eager, but he can't learn it....
But the key isn't the skill; what Su Sheng saw is that after the seven spears, the boss stopped healing!
No wonder Qiancheng Muxye has the nerve to engage this boss; turns out there's such a trick.
However, based on Su Sheng's understanding, Seven‑Probe Spear lacks that capability.
It's unclear what additional skill prevents the boss from healing.
"Quick! Take this moment to output damage!"
Qiancheng Gongzi shouted loudly, urging them.
Qiancheng Muxye's forces naturally seized the opportunity, pouring firepower wildly.
Su Sheng watched the boss's HP being rapidly suppressed; although it's a grind, with many allies and the boss not healing, it's almost like hammering a stake.
One by one, melee classes stalled the boss's charge, posing no threat to ranged players.
Su Sheng calculated: seven seconds!
Seven spears, stop the boss's healing for seven seconds!
Pretty interesting!
Su Sheng squinted, pondering what skill this could be; Seven‑Probe Spear definitely lacks this effect.
Hidden skill!
Yet Su Sheng still doesn't know which hidden skill it is; Seven‑Probe Spear may merely be the carrier, and that should be an additional skill.
After all, Zhu Lu Game is so massive that Su Sheng can't claim to have mastered all related information.
This isn't related to the Life Divine Stone; it was uncovered with Shen Xiao.
Su Sheng, with a group of assassins, watched from afar.
It's still early!
After roughly half an hour, Qiancheng Lihualuo charged again, using Seven‑Probe Spear, stopping the boss's healing for seven seconds!
The skill's cooldown is about half an hour...
With Qiancheng Lihualuo's skill assisting, Qiancheng Muxye successfully pushed the boss's HP down to fifty percent.
In this process, Su Sheng calculated that almost the entire forces of Qiancheng Muxye and Bi'an Huangquan's guild each dropped an average of a few levels; the price was considerable.
Next comes the boss's Little Frenzy phase!
Roar!
A 60‑level Commander Rank leopard let out an angry roar.
Over a thousand cheetahs rustled out of the surrounding forest!
Summon the minions!
"Whoa, that's a level‑57 elite monster!"
"My god! The damage is huge!"
"So fast!"
While the cheetahs charged, Qiancheng Muxye's line fell into chaos!
Because the outermost positions are all ranged teams, they have no capacity to face the monsters head‑on!
"Everyone keep attacking the boss! Huangquan! Bring your Bi'an Huangquan members to help block those summoned minions!"
Though also anxious, Qiancheng Gongzi kept his composure and promptly made arrangements.
Bi'an Huangquan immediately led his guild members out of the main force to specifically handle the summoned cheetahs.
However, Bi'an Huangquan's guild now has very few members; it's only a small guild of about three thousand, constantly losing people, and only roughly 1,300‑1,400 have broken away.
Moreover, most of those over a thousand are revivals who came from Baihu Main City.
It's unrealistic for over a thousand people to block over a thousand level‑57 elite monsters!
They can only drag them desperately!
Especially those leopards, which are assassin‑type monsters—high attack, fast speed, perhaps a bit frail—but even if frail they're still level‑57 elite monsters, and under level suppression that weakness is virtually nonexistent.
Though Bi'an Huangquan worked hard, he only managed to block about two‑thirds, with the remaining one‑third still charging within Qiancheng Muxye's line.
In this situation, firepower against the boss naturally dropped considerably; the boss, originally at fifty percent HP, even began to heal visibly.
"Damn! Useless!"
"Xiao Leng! Have the second squad block the remaining minions for me!"
Qiancheng Gongzi couldn't help but utter a curse.
Of course he knows it's not that Bi'an Huangquan's guild is ineffective; the level gap is simply too great, and they have too few members.
Now Bi'an Huangquan, though holding back two‑thirds, is only merely holding; its guild members keep dying.
If Qiancheng Muxye doesn't intervene, Bi'an Huangquan's members will be wiped out soon, causing even greater trouble.
After the chaotic grind for over half an hour, they finally cleared all the minions summoned during the Little Frenzy phase.
However, only about a thousand of Bi'an Huangquan's members remain, with five hundred just revived from the Main City.
On Qiancheng Muxye's side, their numbers haven't decreased much, thanks to a constant flow of revived members from the Main City.
Yet after this chaos, the boss's HP quickly recovered to sixty percent, even though Qiancheng Muxye has been working hard to suppress it; Qiancheng Lihualuo even employed a suppression‑healing skill once.
Otherwise the boss would have recovered even more.
Tsk tsk...
Su Sheng, seeing this, couldn't help shaking his head; Qiancheng Muxye is betting big this time.
Even if I hadn't come, Su Sheng guessed that Qiancheng Muxue would at least have to reduce their overall level by 2-3 to take down this boss; if the boss didn't issue the Alliance Order, wouldn't Qiancheng Muxue just blow up?
Of course, now that I've come, Qiancheng Muxue is destined to blow up!
It's Qiancheng Lihualuo's skill that suppresses the boss's healing; Su Sheng is a bit envious.
After observing for so long, Su Sheng basically confirmed Qiancheng Lihualuo's skill effect: every half hour, it suppresses the boss's healing for seven seconds each time, possibly related to the attack frequency of the Seven Probe Spears.
The main thing that makes Su Sheng covetous about this skill is.. a 100% success rate!
You have to know that in Yanhuang, neither Su Sheng nor Li Wenwan can trigger this boss-healing suppression effect with 100% certainty.
Of course, Li Wenwan's trigger probability isn't low, after all any of her fire-element attacks have a chance to trigger it.
What's truly miserable for Su Sheng is that only the Fang and Deadly Lion Fang skills can trigger it, and both have limitations!
Fang triggers probabilistically; even Deadly Lion Fang requires hitting the weak point to trigger 100%, but many bosses can't be hit at the weak point, or one doesn't even know where the weak point is.
For example, when facing that Easter Egg Quest boss earlier, Su Sheng couldn't find the weak point's location, so whether Rend triggers is purely down to luck; furthermore, the higher the level and the stronger the boss, the greater its resistance to abnormalities.
So this 100% trigger, Su Sheng is really covetous!
Later I'll go check to see if I can find out what skill this is...
But Zhu Lu is vast, so it's not certain whether I'll be able to find it.
