Chapter 910: Decreasing Durability
Infinite resurrection… How do we deal with this?
"It shouldn't be so unsolvable; archers try lobbing shots, directly hit the middle Coiling Dragon Pillar!"
Su Sheng spoke.
Well, the Dawn archer steadied himself.
He then nocked and drew the bow, making a long-range lob shot, hitting that Coiling Dragon Pillar.
Exempt!
Two large characters emerged from within the Coiling Dragon Pillar.
However, a durability bar could be seen appearing on the Coiling Dragon Pillar, but the durability bar is still full.
"No good, hitting it still counts as exempt."
The Dawn archer, the player, spoke somewhat dejectedly.
The Twelve-winged Angel glanced at the crowd, then looked at the dense swarm of Skeleton Terrain Dragons before them and the fully durable Coiling Dragon Pillar in the center, his face darkening involuntarily.
This secret realm dungeon had already reached the final stage, yet another mishap occurred.
The next dungeon is truly fraught with disaster; the Twelve-winged Angel hasn't cleared other dungeons before, but this is so complex and troublesome—this is the first time.
Of course, it's not really the dungeon's fault; they just came too early—this dungeon isn't meant for their current stage.
If everyone's level were around 70, facing the sky-filling Skeleton Ground Dragons wouldn't actually be that hard.
Su Sheng surveyed the surroundings, pondered for a moment: "It seems there's no other option; we can only keep killing monsters."
Continuously grinding these infinitely respawning Skeleton Ground Dragon elite monsters, Su Sheng is more than willing—after all, although these infinitely respawning Skeleton Ground Dragons yield slightly less experience, compared to the normal dungeon's 75-level elite monster experience...
... it's still much higher than the experience from grinding a few points of wild monsters outside.
For the Twelve-winged Angel, who is anxious to clear the dungeon, these infinitely respawning small monsters are a torment.
But for Su Sheng, whose goal is to gain experience for leveling up, this is practically a blessing.
"It seems, indeed, that we can only do this."
The Judgment Angel pondered for a moment, glancing at his own Chairman.
The Twelve-winged Angel, having no other choice, could only follow Su Sheng's suggestion.
After all… it had been agreed from the start that this dungeon battle would be commanded by Mo Wen Qianchen.
"Archers pull monsters over one by one with lob shots and kill them, without worrying about resurrection."
Su Sheng spoke calmly.
Although we haven't seen a breakthrough yet, since there's a sea of monsters before us, we might as well kill them…
The essence of the next dungeon isn't just grinding monsters, is it?
Thus, everyone began pulling monsters and grinding them in this way…
However, without exception, the slain Skeleton Ground Dragons all scattered into white bones, pulled by suction back to the edge of the Coiling Dragon Pillar, continuing that resurrection process.
So… although everyone kept grinding monsters, the number of monsters…
... seemed not to have decreased.
Kill one, respawn one—naturally it didn't decrease.
As time passed, today's gaming time was nearly over, leaving only the last three hours.
Even if we found another breakthrough now, the final boss probably wouldn't have time to be fought.
After all, the second boss was already this tough; logically, the third boss should be even harder.
Thus, the Twelve-winged Angel, who had been anxious to clear the dungeon, grew increasingly impatient.
But Su Sheng, observing the experience gain rate, remained remarkably calm.
"Twelve-winged Angel Chairman, don't panic…"
"I don't know, have you noticed that the strength of some of the monsters we've fought has decreased…"
While the archer went to pull monsters, Su Sheng spoke with a smile.
"Huh?"
The Twelve-winged Angel froze; he had been constantly thinking about clearing the dungeon.
So when fighting, he just focused on outputting damage, not really noticing this… after all, Su Sheng could fully control hatred and damage taken.
Thus the Twelve-winged Angel only needed to focus on dealing damage; basically he didn't need to think about anything else.
As for the others, all six Dawn members… likewise, due to their own Chairman's dilemma, they had some wandering thoughts.
Only Su Sheng, who bore the damage, clearly sensed this difference.
"If I'm not mistaken, those attribute-reduced Skeleton Ground Dragons we've been grinding should have undergone repeated resurrection."
Su Sheng continued: "So, in fact, these monsters cannot resurrect repeatedly without loss."
"Ah…" the Twelve-winged Angel's face lit up with joy.
"Moreover, I have another hypothesis… first grind monsters, the monsters have already been pulled over; I'll verify it later." Su Sheng watched as a new Skeleton Ground Dragon was pulled over.
This time, seeing hope, the Twelve-winged Angel also exerted himself extra hard.
In a few quick strikes, this freshly pulled Skeleton Terrain Dragon was beaten into a pile of bones.
Nobody paid attention to the bones on the ground; they were once again drawn back to the Coiling Dragon Pillar.
"Come on, let's go back to the Coiling Dragon Pillar."
Facing everyone's gazes, Su Sheng didn't hesitate and spoke with a smile.
Then everyone returned to the spot where the Coiling Dragon Pillar could be seen… they saw that the Skeleton Terrain Dragon they had just slain was undergoing resurrection again.
"Archer, attack the Coiling Dragon Pillar again."
Su Sheng spoke.
"Good."
Swish~
He shot the arrow.
Su Sheng also watched the arrow fall with a hint of contemplation; this was merely his speculation, and it's not yet 100% certain.
Pfft~
The launch once again accurately struck the Coiling Dragon Pillar.
Whoosh~
It's still those two big characters!
But this time, everyone's eyes narrowed.
Because the Coiling Dragon Pillar's durability bar appeared again, but this time it wasn't full; it was roughly missing one-quarter to one-fifth.
Seeing this, Su Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "I guess I wasn't wrong after all."
"These monsters aren't infinitely respawning; their revival consumes the Coiling Dragon Pillar's durability!!"
The Twelve-winged Angel's eyes lit up.
"That's right; although we don't yet know if there are any other related mechanisms, we just need to keep grinding monsters and deplete the Coiling Dragon Pillar's durability."
Su Sheng nodded.
"What are we waiting for! Keep pulling monsters! Let's kill!" the Twelve-winged Angel exclaimed, slamming a hand down.
Initially, the Twelve-winged Angel was impatient about grinding monsters; now he's just as enthusiastic.
That archer also understood and then began to nock and draw his bow.
"Holy crap! Don't pull monsters here!"
"Damn it! Over a dozen! Retreat quickly!"
"Cough cough, uh... sorry, I forgot this spot is too close."
Everyone was quite embarrassed this time, only managing to deal with those dozen or so skeletal earth dragons.
At first there were only seven or eight, but this time, because we actively lured them, the number was exaggerated.
"Steady now, don't mess around—I said I'd command this time!"
After dealing with the last earth dragon, Su Sheng couldn't help but glare at the Twelve-winged Angel.
The Twelve-winged Angel, knowing he was at fault, gave an embarrassed smile and said nothing.
Then, under Su Sheng's arrangement, everyone resumed their normal monster-grinding rhythm.
But this time, the team's fighting spirit was much higher....
