Chapter 79: BOSS Assassin! Li Wenwan!

Entered the game.

Su Sheng used Private Chat to have Huan Jie take his parents to the castle, while Su Sheng went by himself.

After leaving the town, Su Sheng used the Cloak of Invisibility to become invisible and crept toward the castle.

Now Su Sheng is riding a wave of fame, accompanying Huan Jie and his parents to grind monsters; to avoid unnecessary trouble, keeping his whereabouts hidden is still very necessary.

When Su Sheng arrived, the women of Huakai, along with their parents, had already arrived.

"Brother Sheng!"

Zhou Qiqi looked toward Su Sheng and exclaimed excitedly.

Although Su Sheng had not shown his figure, everyone had already formed a remote party through friends.

On the map, Su Sheng's teammates' coordinates could be seen clearly, so they knew Su Sheng had arrived.

"You brought the cores, right?" Su Sheng revealed his form.

At the same time, Su Sheng glanced at the countdown on the gate; it showed about fifty‑nine hours left.

Sure enough, outside of game time the countdown didn't run; of the 72‑hour timer only twelve hours had passed, and there were also a few Demon Energy Cores he had inserted himself.

"I brought them; I even had my cousin's and Huan Yu Hao Tian's mailed over," Li Wenwan replied.

Li Wenwan changed into a fire‑red robe, and her staff was also fire‑red; even after the specialization was completed, her character's hair seemed to have a few more strands of crimson.

In short, she looked blazing red, but that clashed with Li Wenwan's somewhat shy, maidenly aura; still, it created a damnably striking contrast.

"Hmm, trade everything to me."

A dense stack of several batches of Demon Energy Cores arrived, and Su Sheng guessed it should be enough.

Then everyone watched Su Sheng shove Demon Energy Cores into the castle gate, while the countdown on the gate rapidly decreased.

Aside from Lin Huan and Su Ba and Su Mom, who already knew in the morning, the others were all shocked.

So that's how Demon Energy Cores are used.

Soon all the Demon Energy Cores were inserted, and the final countdown on the gate still had over thirty minutes left.

Su Sheng could only shrug helplessly and wait.

Fortunately it was only about thirty minutes.

Everyone chatted, waiting calmly.

Su Ba was browsing the forum.

Su Sheng was teaching Zhou Qiqi some assassin techniques, while the women of Huakai dragged Su Mom to watch intently.

With so many watching, Zhou Qiqi was a bit shy at first, but after getting into the zone she adapted quickly.

Thirty minutes passed swiftly.

Boom—boom—boom...

When the countdown ended, the whole castle resonated with a booming sound.

Then massive black vapor, accompanied by piles of Demon Puppet parts, spewed out from the castle and scattered around it.

The fallen puppet parts, wrapped in black vapor and accompanied by repeated "crack—crack" sounds, turned into individual Demon Energy puppets.

The castle has been restored!

The scene was somewhat spectacular—what was happening?

It was just ominous black vapor, which didn't look like anything good.

"Let's get to work, beauties!"

Looking at the restored castle, Su Sheng said with a smile.

The women of Huakai were also seasoned, after all they'd already cleared it once.

Since they brought their parents, and unlike last time there were also people from Huan Yu, all Huakai members, the experience this time was evenly distributed.

Although Li Xiao and Huan Yu Hao Tian were absent.

But Su Mom Huang Hui was there, and the old mom too, a Priest!

Huang Mingxin and Su Mom, the two Priests, took turns healing, and Wu Zhaodi easily withstood a T‑rank tank fall.

So for efficiency, Su Sheng still soloed.

But one standout was the Phoenix Blood Mage Li Wenwan!

All of Li Wenwan's skills are fire‑type: Fireball, Fire Spear, Falling Flame, and even normal attacks are tiny flames, and every attack has a chance to apply the Phoenix Flame effect, causing continuous burning.

Su Sheng is familiar with this Phoenix Flame; it was the effect of the Divine Phoenix's true blood enchantment in the final stage of the Fengluo Wutong Dungeon.

Now Li Wenwan comes with it directly, and the trigger chance isn't low.

In this situation, output frequency rises dramatically, but there's a downside: Li Wenwan's damage is so high she often OT, and Wu Zhaodi can't hold aggro, so Li Wenwan is forced to slow her output.

Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame passive accounts for almost half of her damage!

Compared with Su Sheng's Hexagonal Warrior, Li Wenwan is the epitome of damage!

If Li Wenwan could stand steady on a pillar, Su Sheng feels his own damage might not keep up with hers.

Also, Su Sheng underwent a major re‑equip, and the Phoenix Flame Earring gave him Phoenix Flame ability, though its trigger chance isn't as exaggerated as Li Wenwan's... or rather the gap is quite large.

Besides Phoenix Flame, Su Sheng also has Demon Fang poison, plus the Fang Skill's Rend, and with Shadow‑Step he can precisely hit weak points; when just killing small mobs, Su Sheng's speed is still faster than Li Wenwan's,

But Su Sheng has already decided that for the final BOSS, the core damage will definitely be Li Wenwan.

Su Sheng even suspects that he himself might OT.

Everyone quickly cleared the puppets surrounding the castle.

Then the castle opened,

and everyone streamed in one after another.

Repeating the earlier rhythm, the group swiftly cleared the puppets in the corridor.

The abundant experience raised the still‑level‑15 Su Ba and Su Mom together to level 16; after the last Fengluo Wutong Dungeon, the old couple hadn't leveled up.

At the same time, Huakai and the other women, after yesterday's leveling and today's castle experience, also reverted to the level of the last castle death drop.

Su Sheng 21 level, Lin Huan, Huang Mingxin 18 level, Zhou Qiqi and Su Ba and Su Ma both 16 level, the other Huakai and women are all 17 level.

Unfortunately, although the castle's mechanics are special, it is ultimately not a Dungeon; there is experience suppression, otherwise everyone's level could rise rapidly.

Su Sheng is also very curious; Zhou Qiqi clearly has been following Huakai and the women, their experience points have always been shared equally, so why is Zhou Qiqi one level lower?

Later we learned, it was too glitchy; Zhou Qiqi died once.

In response, Zhou Qiqi just stuck out her tongue and said nothing.

Little brat, the glitch is normal.

Facing the Ultimate Demon Puppet again, everyone now knows what to expect; the mechanics of the second fight are already familiar.

Crossbow bolts and grappling claws were handled with ease.

However, Su Sheng also discovered a perverse thing about the Phoenix Blood Mage!

Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame! It can actually suppress the BOSS's healing!

Although, like Fang's Rend, the Phoenix Flame only lasts five seconds.

But Su Sheng's Fang Skill still has a 15‑second cooldown, whereas Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame can trigger on any attack with a certain probability.

"Sister Wenwan, I feel I should call you a BOSS killer now!" Su Sheng said, looking oddly at Li Wenwan.

Because Su Sheng bitterly discovered that the Phoenix Flame state triggered by his own Phoenix Flame Earring does not suppress the BOSS's healing.

It's basically discrimination.

Not to mention the poison damage from the Demon Fang longsword.
