Chapter 865: Spoils

Originally, Chen Guan was still marvelling… that the special hidden skill he had just obtained was really useful!

It's practically a shield‑breaking weapon!

Exactly! The shield on Brahmin God‑Slaying's body vanished instantly…

It was precisely because Chen Guan was lucky enough to obtain a shield‑breaking hidden skill; that skill had no other effect—it was solely for breaking shields.

Who would have thought it would be extraordinarily useful this time?

But suddenly, after Brahmin God‑Slaying died, the loot dropped…

Chen Guan, who had originally paid no attention, suddenly reacted!

Mainly… he was stunned by that beam of light!

So, his body instinctively picked it up… or rather, caught it…

Exactly, the loot had just appeared and hadn't even hit the ground yet when Chen Guan snatched it mid‑air…

His hand speed was incredibly fast!

At that moment, even Chen Guan himself hadn't expected such hand speed.

Chen Guan dares to guarantee! This is the fastest hand speed he has ever burst forth with!

Even… whether he can burst forth with such hand speed again in the future is uncertain.

Mainly…

He was too shocked!

Moreover… the items have already been picked up.

But…

Chen Guan didn't dare open his pack; it felt too fake… mainly because…

Or rather, he hoped it was real!

But he was also afraid that opening his pack would reveal nothing at all!

So…

Chen Guan was torn.

However, Chen Guan opened the equipment rankings…

Although there were some changes.

But overall, it was still that familiar equipment ranking…

Still in first place is the Heavenly Cluster Cloud now in Lu Zhe's hands!

Exactly…

After all… divine artifacts aren't that easy to obtain!

So far, the two divine artifacts Su Sheng has obtained—whether Divine Thunder Magic Light or Heavenly Cluster Cloud—have all come after enduring countless hardships.

The quest for Divine Thunder Magic Light involved numerous twists and turns… plus, early in the game, luckily obtaining materials from an ultra‑high‑difficulty special dungeon.

Furthermore, thanks to the Dream Building Squad, he happened to meet the Iron Hammer Dwarves…

Later he still had to go to the dwarven city that had fallen into the demon‑occupied zone… one slip and he'd capsize.

... speaking of which, the material for the three‑colored tree heart was largely thanks to his mother, though she doesn't like fighting and has basically become the chief tailor of Yan‑Huang.

As for the Heavenly Cluster Cloud, he still snatched a "opportunity" from a major guild of Little Days, and it too came with considerable risk.

Thus, divine artifacts are certainly not that easy to obtain.

He saw that the arrangement of divine artifacts on the equipment rankings hadn't changed at all, and Chen Guan felt a bit disappointed…

Indeed, was he just overthinking it?

But that's normal…

Divine artifacts aren't that easy.

However, at the same time.

The two brothers, Gentleman and Ruffian, appeared, looked at the fallen Brahmin God‑Slaying and Chen Guan, didn't say much… then turned and lunged at the other A San players.

After all, they had been rendered helpless by Brahmin God‑Slaying's tactics, so they were preparing to sneak in and look for a chance to strike.

But they also understood…

First they needed to let the Brahmin War God lower his guard before they could ambush; approaching him head‑on would surely raise his alertness.

So the two brothers planned to leave the Brahmin God‑Slaying hanging for a while…

The reason they chose to sneak up openly was to make him wary, then notice the two brothers sneaking off to kill others, causing a commotion several times, after which he'd likely relax his vigilance.

As a result, when they turned around, they discovered that Brahmin God‑Slaying had already been killed by Chen Guan.

Regarding that… they naturally had nothing to say—who made them fail to deal with Brahmin God‑Slaying right away?

They didn't get the big bounty, but these small bounties can't be wasted either.

Just… the two brothers muttered…

"Now that guy's been killed by someone else, what do we say about our bet?"

"There are still A San players here, so let's compete on who kills more!"

Just now, those two brothers had already turned around…

They didn't even see Chen Guan's process of killing Brahmin God‑Slaying; when they turned back, all they saw was Chen Guan standing where he was.

Watching those two brothers with their bizarre thought processes, Chen Guan speechlessly curled his lip…

Since the loot wasn't what he had imagined, Chen Guan also grew curious about what exactly it was.

Afterward Chen Guan opened his pack to see what that thing actually was… having been happily excited for nothing…

Thinking about it, Brahmin God‑Slaying at that level… pulling out a random Yan‑Huang Hidden Dragon would be about the same—how could there be something of that tier…

Afterwards, Chen Guan saw the things in his backpack… his pupils suddenly shrank!

…

…

"Everyone, hurry up and support! The boss has already healed!"

At the same time…

On the San Sao boss's side, they finally cleared out those level 70 normal San Sao minions summoned by the boss during the Little Frenzy phase.

Originally, everyone had made preparations.

Result… The boss gave everyone a big nasty surprise… Their ultimate move is to summon minions, a swarm of level 70 normal monsters, combined with the level 70 normal monsters from the training spots around the field.

The number is close to three to four thousand… This is also one of the advantages of outdoor bosses, because at the training spots… there are many minions; basically anyone who brings a summon skill will directly bring along the surrounding minions.

Originally, the minions summoned by the boss's skill were only a few hundred… but then the minor monsters from the surrounding training spots all responded…

No choice… could only allocate personnel to deal with them…

In this situation, wanting to beat the boss is quite bold. Although Su Sheng can tank it, the damage output isn't enough, and can't even suppress the healing…

Fortunately, Li Wenwan and Su Sheng coordinated… and we had reserved some output slots to help suppress; otherwise we really couldn't suppress the healing.

Basically, the Assassin Guild and the Hidden Dragon Assassins weren't present, so we were just lacking a bit of burst damage.

But fortunately… the situation was still under control.

Although it took some effort, we finally cleared out all those minions… the boss's HP recovered to sixty-four percent.

Immediately after…

The boss's strategy began to get back on track; next we'll see if this boss's ten-percent HP frenzy phase is strong enough.

Seeing everyone skillfully controlling the output rhythm, Su Sheng smiled; as long as the frenzy phase goes smoothly, this boss is basically as good as defeated.

Su Sheng was already looking forward to the boss's drop, although outdoor boss drops might be relatively lower.

But after all, it's a first kill, so it should give some face.

As for Chen Guan's side, Su Sheng had absolutely no worries about the A San players' skill level; even the Assassin Guild and Hidden Dragon Assassins wouldn't need much effort.

In fact, it was indeed as expected.

When the boss's HP was suppressed to over twenty percent…

Chen Guan then came back with the Assassin Guild.

Zero casualties!

Because those A San members didn't even have the thought of fighting back…

Most were killed, some returned to town, and a few fled.

Su Sheng pursed his lips, these A San players… really… what are they after…

They're back!

The two brothers, Gentleman and Ruffian, seeing that the boss hadn't been killed yet, let out a sigh of relief.

Actually, they both know deep down that if Yan Huang wants to break the agreement… whether they're present or not makes no difference…
