Chapter 761: The Greatest

At this point, the battle seemed to be drawing to a close.

After the Ancient War Demon Elephant and these War Demon Statues had been attacking for an hour, the surging demon energy behind them disappeared, and demon race units appeared.

The demon siege engines that had been on standby in the rear also began to move at this time.

As those demon siege engines moved, the surging black demon energy in the rear also began to gradually thin out.

Seeing this, Su Sheng roughly guessed the reason those demon siege engines were on standby in the distance: probably to maintain the concentration of demon energy.

The final showdown has begun!

He glanced at the well-coordinated player group, Su Sheng narrowed his eyes, and felt he could hold steady.

Swish~

Su Sheng mounted the winged lion and leapt straight into the air!

The winged lion flapped its wings and flew a distance of fifty yards!

Charge!

Su Sheng rode the winged lion straight toward the north gate!

The surrounding players, seeing this, were all bewildered.

What the heck?

Is that Mo Wen's pet?

They watched helplessly as Mo Wen's pet suddenly shot out, turning into a cocoon of light.

Then it shrank into a winged lion?

Then Mo Wen simply switched mounts.

He directly mounted that winged lion and leapt away.

Everyone stared at each other.

"Don't space out, get ready to switch!"

As Zhang Zhi's voice came through, the people below finally came to their senses.

Still, a considerable portion of the substitute players kept their eyes fixed on Su Sheng.

The winged lion…

Can it fly?

Then, they still hadn't landed.

They then saw…

Su Sheng flew straight up.

Really!

It flew!

Unlike the previous leap, although the leap distance was great, it eventually fell.

But at this moment, the long-winged lion beneath Mo Wen directly flapped its wings and rose straight up, flying directly over the heads of these monsters and heading toward the north gate.

A flying mount?!

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

... Well, the winged lion isn't truly a flying mount after all, since it can only fly for thirty seconds.

A true flying mount can fly continuously.

Of course, wanting a flying mount at this stage is no different from daydreaming.

According to the experience of 'Heroes,' flying mounts begin to appear at level 80! They only truly appear at level 100.

…

Su Sheng intended to get there quickly, so he directly made the winged lion take flight.

Su Sheng wanted to see if he could claim this update's biggest 'benefit'… the output contribution of the Ancient War Demon Elephant and the final blow!

If players do not participate enough to reach a certain contribution on a monster, and it is killed by an NPC, no loot will drop.

Only by snagging the final hit, or by contributing a significant share, will loot appear.

However, NPCs themselves occupy a certain contribution value; in this case… the boss's drop rate will be reduced proportionally.

The Xuan Wu Mechanized Beast naturally counts as an NPC unit as well.

But no matter how much the drop rate is reduced, after all the boss's base is there—it's a level 70 lord-class boss!

If we could drop even a bit of level‑70 epic gear, combined with the Divine Craftsman Stone, it would be just right for me to use!

Well… the premise is that luck must be good, and it drops something I can use.

So in this situation, being able to get there earlier naturally means we can deal a bit more output.

That's why Su Sheng is so anxious.

Fortunately, the winged lion can fly!

Under everyone's gaze, Su Sheng rode the winged lion from the west gate to the north gate position.

Although the main city is large, there are no obstacles in this palace, so we can fly straight over without detours; thirty seconds is more than enough.

What's more, after taking off, Su Sheng immediately entered a no‑combat state, granting a 500% speed boost in that state.

Boom boom boom!!

Just as Su Sheng reached the air above the north gate, he saw two huge figures still locked in an earth‑shaking struggle.

On the city wall, there was also a small group of onlooker players watching the show.

Don't ask why, but there are still people idly watching the fight instead of helping to kill monsters…

Anyway, the forest is big and all kinds of birds are there—who knows what they're thinking?

Swish~

Su Sheng controls the suan ni, diving straight down from the sky.

Flap Wings' flight time is about to end.

WTF! What is that!?

Damn, a Lion Griffin Knight?!

So fast!

Is that an NPC?

Damn, such a huge one, Mo Wen, Qian Chen's name, you still act like an NPC, you big shot.

The surrounding "goofing off" players, upon seeing Su Sheng lift the suan ni and fly straight down, instantly started chatting.

At this moment, in that big pit, the massive ancient war demon elephant's HP was down to eight percent.

Su Sheng's face lit up with joy—still in time!

Sizzle~

The spear in Su Sheng's hand burst into light.

Of course it's not Demon God Lightning; throwing Demon God Lightning right now would be wasteful.

It's best to save this skill for a finishing blow!

By securing a certain contribution, if you can directly land the final hit, the loot cap can be raised a bit.

After all, over ninety percent of this ancient war demon elephant's contribution is currently counted toward the Xuan Wu Mechanical Beast.

If Su Sheng wants good loot, he must boost the drop rate as much as possible.

Puff~

From above, the spear pierces straight down!

Falling Demon Body!

Lion's Fury!

At this stage, it's not the time for hidden things; fighting for output contribution is the priority.

Buffs are turned on full!

Unfortunately, Lion King Stance cannot be activated manually.

Meanwhile, the diving suan ni opened its mouth wide.

Fireworks Dragon Breath!!

2× real damage per second!

This skill is quite perverse, but the suan ni's stats were low before, and this skill requires… charging.

So unless it's an emergency, this skill is basically useless.

But now…

At this point, the suan ni's attack power has reached 5,440.

Over ten thousand true damage per second.

Moreover, the suan ni has now reached the adult stage.

The Fireworks Dragon Breath skill has also changed.

It shifted from a single-target breath to an area skill, covering a 5×5 zone.

Also, the Prayer Power storage limit, originally one thousand, has now grown to ten thousand.

And instead of gathering a point of Prayer Power every five minutes, it now does so every minute.

It's enhanced—far more than a mere star.

But this just‑evolved Prayer Power cap is still only a little over a thousand, lasting ten seconds!

Ten seconds equals over a hundred thousand true damage output.

If this skill fully charges, it becomes a 100‑second breath, dealing a million true damage on its own.

Might of the Divine Beast! It's already showing signs!

As Su Sheng's pet, its damage contribution is naturally counted toward Su Sheng.

Give it all!

Strive for as much output contribution as possible!!

War Rhythm!!
