Heroes' Prison

Chapter 169 Healing Squad

This time, his luck wasn’t so good. The System Prompt declared the attempt a failure, consuming 500 Energy Points.

The higher the floor, the more Energy Points it indeed consumed.

Huang Yi waited for a while before spending Energy Points again to check the System Prompt.

But after trying 4 times and nearly depleting his Energy Points, he only got one result—failure.

A 50% chance of success, yet the system had given him four consecutive failures, which was somewhat eerie.

Huang Yi thought it over and suddenly came up with a possibility—the 24-hour reset mechanic.

In The Second World, there’s a unified refresh time setting, the 24-hour reset mechanic. The most typical example is the Tower of Pantheons, which automatically resets after 24 hours.

Huang Yi speculated that this success rate must also follow this setting, with the system only changing his success rate for the enhancement after 24 hours.

Meaning, from now on, he could only try once a day, and if he failed, he could only try again the next day.

This result wasn’t too bad; at least Huang Yi had a chance every day, which was much better than what Dao Feng and the others had.

Next, he took out the few remaining Energy Stones to replenish his Energy and continued grinding in the Tower of Pantheons.

The moon gradually rose, and Huang Yi had finished his solo runs. With about ten minutes left before the scheduled training time, he left the Tower of Pantheons and returned to the Teleportation Field in Xuanyuan Town.

Already, quite a few people were gathered here, and players continuously arrived from all directions. These players donned stunning equipment and were full of vim and vigor, clearly more formidable than the average player.

"Instakill, you’re here, join the team!" Just then, Lin Yiqin was at the Teleportation Field and spotted Huang Yi immediately, sending him an invitation to join the group.

Huang Yi promptly accepted and temporarily joined the Yanhuang Legion.

The Tower of Pantheons’ 50th floor only had a five-thousand-player mode, so this group had a whopping five thousand members, akin to an army. Directing so many people to take down a BOSS was a very challenging task, requiring strong team coordination capabilities.

Huang Yi teleported to the 50th floor of the Tower of Pantheons, where a good number of players were already assembled, waiting silently on the open ground at the top of the first mountain.

This was Huang Yi’s first time participating in such a large-scale multiplayer event. He glanced around and noticed that players were generally standing according to their class. Mage Classes stood together, Priest Classes in a group, Melee Classes in another. Everyone was part of a smaller squad, which in turn was part of a larger division, with clear layers that made giving commands convenient.

"Instakill, come over here!" At that moment, Dao Feng’s voice called out from nearby. Huang Yi turned to see that Dao Feng was standing with a group of girls. These ten or so girls all shared one characteristic: they were all priests.

Huang Yi walked over and faced the ten girls. Each girl was a stunning beauty, all dressed in Priest’s Robes and holding dainty Magic Wands. Many male players around the field looked over in their direction, their gazes filled with admiration.

"Instakill, you’ll be in this squad! These ten healers are here solely to serve you," Dao Feng said with a pat on Huang Yi’s shoulder and a smile.

Then, turning to address the ten players, he said, "You ten priests will specifically focus on healing Instakill. You don’t need to follow the main team’s orders, just Instakill’s. Brother Instakill is a powerhouse I’ve managed to bring onboard. Whether or not we get the first kill on the Zombie King depends entirely on him. So you must keep his Health Points up, and would rather sacrifice yourselves than let him die, got it?"

"Got it!" The ten girls said in a coy chorus.

"Instakill brother, I’m a huge fan of yours, I’ve admired you for so long, can I have a hug?" Just then, a girl around seventeen or eighteen years old, batting her large eyes and twisting her clothing, asked coyly with a flushed face.

"Sure!" Huang Yi hesitated slightly before agreeing, showing no signs of coyness.

"So happy!" The girl clapped her hands and then charged forward, hugging Huang Yi tightly.

"I want one too!" Just then, the rest of the girls all started requesting hugs as well.

"I can’t watch this anymore, continue your hugging!" Dao Feng said, shaking his head and smiling, then left, leaving Huang Yi alone with the girls.

After the embrace, Huang Yi finally calmed down, his body permeated with a fragrance of girls, indistinguishable whose it was.

"What type of priests are you all?" Huang Yi then asked them.

At this point, the girl who was the first to ask for a hug from Huang Yi smiled understandingly and gently said, "Keke and I are both Holy Healing Priests, focusing on individual healing. Feifei and Mao Mao are Shadow Priests, who focus on group healing and have a skill called Thin Burial, which can keep you from dying for 5 seconds. Dandan, Little Yi, and Ben Ben are Light Priests, focusing on Dispel, control removal, and they can also bless you with various statuses. Loli and Little Wai are Redemption Priests, capable of resurrecting teammates in combat, though it can only be done once per day. Lastly, there’s sister Tongtong, she’s the most powerful, a rare healing class that is great in both individual and group healing, and besides that, she can also increase your Magic Value, she’s the leader of our priest group."

"Then, if there’s anything I should pay attention to later, just let me know. It’s my first time here; I’m not yet familiar with it," said Huang Yi.

...

Ten minutes later, the Yanhuang Legion was fully assembled, with five thousand people standing in their respective spaces, densely packed, just the sight was enough to send a surge of excitement through one’s veins.

"Are all the team commands in place?" the Dungeon Group Leader Lin Yiqin from the Xuanyuan Clan shouted loudly, his voice clearly reaching everyone’s ears.

Following that, Huang Yi received a system prompt.

[System Prompt]: The leader of the Yanhuang Legion, Lin Yiqin, has initiated a check for team command readiness. Do you respond?

Huang Yi chose to respond.

[System Prompt]: You have obtained command of your team, and can exercise various command functions over team members.

Huang Yi now had command over this group, which meant he was the absolute leader of this group. When he spoke, every team member could receive the orders clearly, and other groups couldn’t hear them. Additionally, he could also mark targets among many other functions, making it very convenient to command.

"Everyone must take today’s training seriously. Instakill is in our team, and he will be fighting alongside us," said Dao Feng as he opened his voice permissions, and everyone on the team heard this.

All five thousand people turned their heads to look in Huang Yi’s direction, their gazes filled with friendliness.

Huang Yi nodded at them.

"Tonight, our goal is to reduce the Zombie King’s Health Points to 10% and get familiar with the new skills of the boss, to prepare for our upcoming first kill. This mission is quite arduous, so pay attention to the commands. Ok, now, the entire team starts buffing!" shouted Lin Yiqin as he issued the order!

Upon his command, all five thousand people started moving simultaneously, in unison. Every player with a group Buff skill released their Buffs, creating dazzling arrays of light all over the place, and in no time, Buffs were applied to every team member.

Huang Yi checked his status, noticing he had a total of 104 Buffs on himself, and his attributes panel had significantly soared—with his Attack Power alone soaring by 53%. Every other attribute, even the most marginal, had received some sort of enhancement.

With these five thousand people raiding together, the overlapping Buffs directly elevated the strength of every member by several levels, comparing to solo play, it wasn’t even the same level of combat.

"Blood Deficiency, where is your Blood Battle Buff?" Lin Yiqin suddenly called out at that moment.

Immediately, a blood-red light shone from the northeast corner of the crowd, and then Huang Yi noticed an additional Buff called Blood Battle on himself—within half an hour, attacks would include a 3% Bloodsuck.

"Kong Wo, Ye Lin, why are your Magic Values empty? How can you make such a basic mistake? Do it again next time, and I’ll move you to the backup group," Lin Yiqin’s voice suddenly turned cold, pointing out the names of two people.

"Alright! All members, heed my command, lead T team, start moving forward!" Soon, Lin Yiqin finally issued the official command to begin the attack.

Following that, the entire team started to advance slowly, clearing the minions along the way.

The minions in the five thousand people mode were quite formidable; if Huang Yi were to take one on alone, it would probably take one or two minutes to kill just one, but now, facing the onslaught of these five thousand people, they were basically being instakilled.

The five thousand people were densely packed, yet perfectly organized, moving in harmony without causing any crises along the way, and in just ten minutes, they had advanced to face the first boss, Dragonlance Pfister.

The Pfister in the five thousand people mode was massive, about ten meters tall, holding a Long Spear also around ten meters in length. It was estimated a single sweep could instakill a large number of people, and only the main T could withstand his attacks; nobody else would stand a chance.
