Chapter 94: Strategy for the Corpse King

Team prompt: Player Mo Wen Qianchen joined the team.

Su Sheng glanced at the team information; it was okay, all four members are level 20.

Team leader, Zhu Meng Junjie, level 20 mage.

Zhu Meng Qingyuan, level 20 Daoist.

Zhu Meng Xiao E, level 20 priest, a girl.

Zhu Meng Ali, level 20 warrior.

I saw there was also a Zhu Meng Qipaoshui, level 19 knight, the knight who was just killed by the BOSS.

After Su Sheng joined the team, Zhu Meng Junjie also voluntarily set the team's loot permission to leader allocation, and then directly passed the leadership to Su Sheng.

At the same time, Zhu Meng Junjie also posted the BOSS's attribute panel on the team chat.

Undead Corpse King (Elite Boss)

Level: 35

Attack:??

Defense:??

HP:??

Skills:??

Description: brief

"We calculated the HP recovery; the BOSS's HP is around 450,000." Zhu Meng Junjie said.

"Hmm." Su Sheng nodded slightly.

"Let's go, engage!" Su Sheng stepped forward with sword and shield.

Taunt!

The huge corpse king, over three meters tall, roared and charged over.

Raise shield, block!

Boom!

A claw swiped down.

Block check!

Saving throw failed!

Even against the level 35 elite BOSS, Su Sheng couldn't make the saving throw.

However, thanks to the force-dissipation damage reduction mechanism, the damage Su Sheng took was still greatly reduced.

-238!

This value is still within the tolerable range, and Su Sheng estimates that, like ordinary undead corpses, the BOSS likely also has an armor-piercing property.

When facing those ordinary undead corpses, Su Sheng couldn't even be bothered to raise his shield.

So impressive!

Seeing this, the members of the Dream Building Squad couldn't help but widen their eyes.

It's only over 200 damage, and looking at Su Sheng's health bar, it only dropped about a tenth—so impressive.

The previous Zhu Meng Qipaoshui lost over a thousand HP from a single BOSS claw, his HP hit bottom.

Although Zhu Meng Xiao E promptly healed a bit, healing spells have a cooldown, so the BOSS's next claw instantly killed the Qipaoshui.

The BOSS is over three meters tall; the weak points of undead corpses are the same as humans', usually the neck, eyes, etc.

Raise sword, sweep!

Heroic Strike!

At this height, Su Sheng can't reach the weak point!

-23

-21

White non-piercing damage!

But Su Sheng wasn't surprised—Fang!

Undead corpses are humanoid monsters; their weak points are the same as humans', even though the BOSS is an enlarged version.

Human weak points, aside from some vital spots, don't forget... the navel counts too.

-1745!

Yellow weak point damage!

Su Sheng grinned—indeed so!

And the members of the Dream Building Squad were completely dumbfounded.

It also triggered the Phoenix Flame and Rend effects; both effects activated together—don't know if Su Sheng was lucky or this corpse king was unlucky.

Boom—!

Lightning strike!

One of the mage's strongest early-game single-target skills has a multiplier as high as 3.3.

-821

The damage is still decent, but the mage's micro-control is harder than an archer's; to precisely hit the weak point you'd need a huge marker range like that of the ultimate magic puppet.

Although the damage is noticeable, the BOSS has 450,000 HP; the elite BOSS recovers 1% per second, that's 4,500 HP per second!

Right now, the Rend state is suppressing the BOSS's HP recovery; otherwise this output wouldn't be enough.

"Try to aim for the corpse king's neck and eyes as much as possible; in melee, attempt to strike the navel, just like human weak points." Su Sheng reminded.

The others all nodded.

Knowing is one thing, but actually doing it is another; the weak point damage mechanism has long been analyzed by players on the forum, but not everyone can become an expert.

So, after a round of intense bombardment, the highest damage output was still Su Sheng.

Still, thanks to the intermittently triggered Fang Rend state, the boss's HP steadily decreased.

Seeing the boss still slowly recovering HP without Fang Rend, Su Sheng couldn't help but miss Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame class passive—it's incredibly effective against bosses.

Behind them was a level 20 priest; the priest's new level 20 skill, Continuous Healing, restores HP at 10 + 0.5 times spirit per tick, every 2 seconds, lasting 5 seconds.

This greatly increased the priest's healing output.

In this situation, Su Sheng could also unleash his output more freely.

Even Zhu Meng Xiao E occasionally throws a Holy Light system minor skill to chip damage, but her aim is limited; missing the weak point, it's practically just scratching.

Zhu Meng Junjie is the team's second-highest damage dealer, occasionally able to hit the weak point, showing he still has some skill, and seemingly improving rapidly; over time, Su Sheng also noticed that Zhu Meng Junjie's skill hits on the weak point have significantly increased.

Looks like Zhu Meng Junjie's talent is not bad.

That Taoist Zhu Meng Qingyuan is also okay, occasionally throwing a Binding Talisman to help, though its effect keeps weakening as the boss's control resistance rises.

As for output, it's also average.

A level 20 Taoist gains a Flame Talisman, which must be applied up close for Continuous Burning damage; lasting 5 seconds, its damage multiplier is decent, but since the damage is burning and cannot be calculated as weak point damage, using it on the boss is somewhat awkward.

Another skill, the Yin Yang Sword, is also a melee technique; one strike deals both physical and magical damage.

A cloth-armored Taoist needs to engage in melee—this point is indeed somewhat...

This Huaxia specialty profession truly has few people who can master it.

However, the boss's hate is currently fixed on Su Sheng, so the Dream Building Squad members can freely unleash their output.

Moreover, because the navel weak point is originally on the front, but Su Sheng is tanking it frontally, the warrior player Zhu Meng Ali, who cannot hit the weak point, can't break through defenses and feels a bit depressed; the eyes, neck, etc. above are too high to reach.

However, this guy is also talented; after Su Sheng's remark that it's like a human weak point, he found his lifelong wow point...

Lower three path warriors!

After stabbing with the long sword into a certain flower, huge damage popped out, exciting Zhu Meng Ali for a while, and unexpectedly a weak point critical hit appeared!

Even with Su Sheng steadily holding aggro, this guy just keeps jabbing away happily; I don't know if it's an illusion, but Su Sheng feels the boss's expression is somewhat... cough cough...

Even so, the probability of a weak point critical hit at that position also seems not low; ultimately Zhu Meng Ali's damage even caught up to Zhu Meng Junjie, that magic grandpa.

Zhu Meng Qingyuan, who had been just scratching, watched Zhu Meng Ali having fun, then glanced at his own Taoist sword, feeling a bit torn for a moment.

Finally, Zhu Meng Qingyuan unleashed a Yin Yang Sword skill!

Weak point critical hit!

«Aooo! »

Instantly the Corpse King BOSS flew into a rage!

The hate value instantly cleared.

Of course, the boss wasn't actually in pain; rather, the HP line reached 80%, triggering the HP Axis Mechanism!
