Chapter 992 522: Come On, Hit Right Here
"Come on, come on, I'm stepping back, you just lash that group of creatures again, just go easy on it." Only at this moment did Great Heaven realize that the difficulty was definitely brought in by Gu Shanhai, not what they were supposed to endure.
This group of zombies was scared too, seeing this scene, they turned around without hesitation to try to escape.
Originally thought Gu Shanhai was the one being protected, but it turned out he was the fiercest.
"No can do, I can only whip once, no more than that." Gu Shanhai blatantly lied while putting away the Seven-star Whip.
As soon as these words were spoken, the zombies that had turned to run all stopped in their tracks, and quickly turned back.
Great Heaven was somewhat flabbergasted too, can you just say something like that?
Then stopped this group of zombies again, because nearly a third of the zombies were gone, he suddenly felt less pressured and his killing speed increased significantly.
However, there were still some that slipped through, running towards Gu Shanhai again.
"Damn, how did you let another one slip?" Gu Shanhai was quite speechless, then took out a gourd from his arms.
This time the zombie got a bit smarter, baring its fangs and didn't get close to Gu Shanhai, instead, it kept maneuvering around, even overlapping its figure with Great Heaven. If Gu Shanhai dared to use that move again, Great Heaven would suffer too.
"I must say, if you're stupid, you're actually not too bad; but if you're smart, you act like a beast, baring your teeth at me." Gu Shanhai made a sarcastic remark.
"Hey, I call out to you, do you dare to answer?" Gu Shanhai shouted.
"Roar~" The zombie seemed provoked, probably because Gu Shanhai indirectly insulted its intelligence, and rushed at Gu Shanhai without hesitation.
Then it plunged headfirst into the gourd in his hand.
"No, didn't it not respond? Then how did it end up inside?" Great Heaven withdrew and asked after killing a zombie with the Heavenly Halberd.
"Tricked it, this thing is manual operation, it doesn't need to respond, once locked on, it goes in." Gu Shanhai said his Purple Gold Gourd wasn't the original, it was a knock-off version, if it were identical, he'd be infringing.
The original owned by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad was called the Purple Gold Red Gourd, his was just the Purple Gold Gourd, no 'Red' character.
"Then can you..."
"Can't suck anymore, the Purple Gold Gourd is like the Seven-star Whip, the cooldown is too long." Gu Shanhai opened his mouth without hesitation.
"I believe you, but if you pull out any more gear next, don't blame me for running off." Great Heaven quipped.
"Just don't let any more slip through, nothing works better than that." Gu Shanhai spread his hands, indicating the blame was on him.
But this time, even if some slipped through, that group of zombies dared not come over, for fear that Gu Shanhai would pull something out again.
After all, they weren't blind, they already saw Gu Shanhai pull out two, pulling out another three or five wouldn't be a big deal.
Therefore, this group of zombies turned around without hesitation and fled.
Not able to win the fight, while the opponent still had trump cards, why stay to die.
In response, Gu Shanhai could only say that this group of zombies, though defective, knew what they were doing, even willing to live a long life, rather than die.
Great Heaven naturally wouldn't let this group of zombies escape, and chased after them without hesitation.
At this point, the zombies were focused on running for their lives, naturally without their prior combat power, each was cut down like fruit and vegetables by Great Heaven, leaving corpses everywhere.
On the other side, Great Heaven delivered the final blow to the boss, causing its incomplete humanoid form to collapse into a pile of meat.
"Looks like this time, your tools and gear increased the instance's difficulty." Shura dealt with the boss and walked over, saying.
Gu Shanhai also casually grabbed the main pillar of this stage, the bloody aura quietly slipping into his hands.
"Can't blame me for that, right." Gu Shanhai quipped, although the process of guessing was incorrect, the result was right; without him, these two wouldn't have come to a world of this difficulty.
"At least we did get something out of it, rather, the gains were ridiculously big." After killing the last zombie, Great Heaven wiped his Heavenly Halberd and released Cui Yingying's possession.
"For the third stage, we have to deal with the boss in advance, at the very least weaken it. Unless you have something up your sleeve, otherwise, we will definitely be wiped out as a team." Shura looked at Gu Shanhai and said.
This time the difficulty was extremely high, Shura never expected that even a three-in-one boss could have such powerful life and defense. If it hadn't been dealt with in advance, it would have definitely relied on Gu Shanhai now.
"I have something up my sleeve, but..." Gu Shanhai didn't finish, meaning he couldn't act too much, or things could go south.
The two of them didn't think much of it, just assumed either the activation was harsh or the cooldown was long.
This also fits Gu Shanhai's auxiliary and life roles, where combat usually doesn't rely on him but on teammates, yet he would keep some things to protect himself.
"Just do your best, don't think too much." Shura nodded, thinking he saw Gu Shanhai's corresponding limitations.
So their main plan remained to deal with or weaken the boss in advance. If it came to asking Gu Shanhai for his trump card, it meant they reached the final step.
Great Heaven stopped the previous teasing and quipping, calculating the gains in his heart.
"So for the next stage, are you going to stall again?" Great Heaven asked, as this was a part of the cost and gain calculation.
"This time, we had no choice; we needed time. If we had really fought the boss on the third day for this stage without weakening it, we'd be wiped out by now."
"***'s halo effect has very likely already been calculated into it."
Gu Shanhai didn't speak, it was Shura who responded first.
"That's true, and also, the boss itself is a part of the gain." Great Heaven felt a bit relieved now; if they had followed the original plan, there would be no doubt they wouldn't have made it.
"Speaking of which, why hasn't the map changed today?" Great Heaven wondered about this.
Before, they would be sent off right after defeating the boss, unlike this time, the boss had already turned into a puddle of sludge, yet they hadn't been sent away.
"By the way, can this... be eaten?" Shura pointed at the boss's remnants and asked.
"Can't be made, it's become waste, probably because we can't eat the boss, so we're being given a break." Gu Shanhai took a look, it could be cooked to look and taste good, but that was all.
Actually, making dark cuisine out of it could have special effects.
"Actually, it can be utilized, except for not being edible."
After Gu Shanhai spoke, he got to work directly.
Great Heaven came over curiously, watching Gu Shanhai at work.
After ten minutes, somewhat lifeless, he hid in a corner retching.
"What you made is way too stinky." Great Heaven's eyes were tearing up from the fumes.
Gu Shanhai sealed it up quickly, tossing it to Shura. After all, Shura had text reminders, far more perceptive than Great Heaven in seizing opportunities.
After receiving it, Shura's eye twitched too, the text warned him it was dangerous, plus he had heard stories about dark cuisine before. Back then, even Base Station Old Liu's body of bronze and iron was corroded beyond repair, only when the smell faded away could he be repaired.
"This item is a deadly weapon, but you only got a hint of it." Gu Shanhai quipped.
Since Shura hadn't gotten close, he didn't smell much and felt nothing, just quietly putting it into his inventory.
After half an hour, Great Heaven finally recovered, though his complexion looked a bit off.
"What you made, the quality and attributes are too high, I think you must be the player with the highest level of anyone else." Great Heaven didn't mention combat power, who knew if there were any players hiding in the shadows, but in terms of level, judging by the items crafted, he was sure no one surpassed Gu Shanhai.
