#272 - Chapter 272 Boss Battle
Games are indeed an excellent platform for strangers to get to know each other.
Qi Jing met many like-minded players from different grades through it, all of whom were very skilled in the game.
In this game centered around cooperation, because there weren't many players with top-level ranks and combat power, they quickly became familiar with each other after fighting so many BOSS battles and stealing so many monsters together.
"Long Yin, doesn't your sophomore year have a task quota now? If you don't complete three tasks, you'll fail the class. Why are you still playing games?"
After Qi Jing asked this question, the swordsman beside him, "Lord Long Yin," waved his hand lightly:
"It's just three tasks. There's no level requirement. Just find two simple ones to do, and it'll be done in two days."
Although they excelled in the game, balancing study and combat power was not something everyone could achieve.
Especially in this kind of game that requires a lot of time investment, few people can maintain a high level in the game while taking care of their real life.
Those who can do both are not ordinary people, like Qi Jing.
Lord Long Yin said to him:
"When are you going to participate in the Sea Trial? I'd like to go and create obstacles for you along the way."
"What? Create obstacles? If you dare to go, I'll beat you back to level zero."
When Qi Jing was looking at the level two trial information, he learned one thing: the level two trial can be interfered with by other students.
However, only slight interference is allowed, but no help can be given, and the interference cannot be too serious.
This rule seems like a small matter and has no impact, but it has loopholes!
One person cannot interfere too much, but many people together can. If enough people come to interfere, it is very likely to capsize those participating in the trial, forcing them to calmly retry after half a month.
It's ridiculous!
It is said that this is to test a person's character.
An excellent team not only needs to have strong combat power but also good interpersonal relationships.
It seems to be saying that a team can be strangers to other teams, or they can get along well, or even have some animosity, but they must never offend too many people at the same time.
So, in reality, only bad friends would do such a thing to interfere with others. A team that offends too many people has never appeared.
"I really don't know which genius designed this rule. Isn't this making things difficult for me, the rookie king?"
Although many people know him, no one would interfere with him because of his title of "Rookie King."
However, this game has allowed him to meet too many people.
A player with a title is always more likely to be noticed, especially Qi Jing, a player who likes to steal the last drop of blood from BOSSes.
"Almighty Qi, we want to go too!"
"And us!"
"Remember to call me!" Others echoed.
Qi Jing helplessly rubbed his forehead, not expecting that playing a game would increase the difficulty of his trial.
"You've all passed the trial, right? What's the matter with bullying me, a newbie?"
A large priest behind him said:
"Qi Tian, you can't blame us for this. I heard that the more people who interfere with someone, the better their luck will be on their first long-distance exploration. We're cheering you on."
Others chimed in:
"That's right, that's right, we're cheering you on."
"At worst, you can travel back in time and interfere with us too."
Qi Jing was speechless. If he could go back in time, how could he possibly do such a trivial thing?
"Go if you want, but be careful I knock all your teeth out."
Lord Long Yin widened his eyes:
"Yo ho, arrogant, I like you like this."
Fei Peng said, "Wait for our little surprise."
"No, brothers, I was wrong." Qi Jing admitted his mistake very decisively.
As they walked, they arrived at the hall where the BOSS was located.
Inside this door is the BOSS of this level. As long as they defeat it, they can open the map of the lower level and increase the level limit of everyone.
Wen Jing raised her hand to quiet everyone down:
"Everyone, divide into two teams. If the first team can't hold on, the second team will go in to buy time and let the first team recover as soon as possible."
Wen Jing is one of the few teachers among these high-level players. Although everyone addresses each other as equals, she does have the identity of a teacher after all, and her prestige is a bit higher than others.
From I don't know which level, as long as she is there, she usually conducts the pre-battle command for every BOSS battle.
Who doesn't like a young teacher who is beautiful, sassy, plays games well, is peaceful and smiling, and often mingles with everyone?
"Team one, stand to my left, team two, stand to my right!"
Soon, these young people stood in their respective positions.
They had fought many monsters with Wen Jing like this and understood Wen Jing's tactic of one before two.
Everyone was like comrades who had been together for many years, quietly waiting for Wen Jing's instructions.
"Team one, go!"
Wen Jing took the lead in pushing open the door and walked in.
The others quickly followed.
Behind the door was a super empty and huge room. As far as the eye could see, there was a motionless tree in the center.
"It looks like it will only reveal its health bar after being attacked. Everyone, get ready!"
With Wen Jing's order, everyone began to find their positions.
The huge battlefield also began to liven up.
"Go, here, let's spread out."
"Warriors, go to the front."
"Er Gou, what skills are you using now? What will you do when your mana bar is gone later?"
"It's okay, it's just mana. It will recover in a while."
"Emperor Yan, get ready to fight. Stop spinning your staff. Quickly give us buffs. I really don't know why you, a support, have such a domineering name."
"okok, I really am a fire-type ability user in real life. How many times have I told you? Why don't you believe me?" "Fire-type ability users aren't as cowardly as you. You take medicine when you're less than half health."
"This is called being steady, not cowardly. Besides, not all fire-type ability users are hot-tempered. You're prejudiced, alas! Fei Peng is gone, let's get ready to go too!"
They all call each other by their online nicknames, not their real names.
The reason is that the situation is always very urgent during team battles. If teammates need help, there is no time to think about their real names. They will directly say the nickname above their heads.
Over time, they have always called each other that.
"There are no appraisal skills in this game. It's really uncomfortable."
Qi Jing complained about the game's settings and then rushed towards the BOSS with his sword.
As the great swordsman Fei Peng gave the tree spirit a sword, accompanied by the gradually dark green lights around, it slowly began to wriggle.
Fei Peng, the commander of the melee squad, shouted:
"After the cutscene is over, let's hit it from behind first and see what skills it has."
Generally speaking, the BOSS will not immediately release its ultimate move at the beginning. You can take advantage of this gap to deal more damage.
Qi Jing stared at the green tree in front of him and confirmed his equipment and skills again.
At the same time, the priests behind him arranged the buffs for them.
War Song increasing attack power, Holy Blessing increasing health recovery (ineffective), Mana Spring increasing mana recovery speed...
The marksman, mages, and other ranged classes in the distance were also eyeing it covetously, waiting for the moment its health bar appeared.
Suddenly, a red bar appeared above his vision!
"Go!"
Qi Jing picked up his sword and slashed at the large tree, and the attacks of the others followed suit.
In an instant, various dazzling special effects were unleashed on the tree spirit's enormous body as if they were free, and the health bar dropped rapidly.
After being attacked, the tree spirit began to roar in a low voice, its branches extending rapidly in all directions like tentacles, trying to capture and counterattack.
The team members were prepared. The agile light swordsmen all scattered, skillfully avoiding most of the tree spirit's attacks.
However, many heavily armored warriors and tanks with low agility were hit, losing a lot of health.
"Damn, its attack is poisonous!"
The health of those who were hit was dropping drop by drop, and the speed of health recovery also decreased a lot.
However, everyone's health was still healthy, so they continued to attack the tree spirit.
Qi Jing used his high mobility to constantly move around the tree spirit, dodging the vines while not missing every opportunity to attack.
His swordsmanship was sharp, and each attack was accompanied by sword energy, causing considerable damage to the tree spirit.
The priests in the rear constantly watched the health of their teammates. Once they found someone's health dropping, they immediately cast healing spells, pulling them back from the brink of death.
Although the health recovery efficiency was limited, the power of numbers was great, and they could barely hold on.
The battle gradually entered a feverish stage. The tree spirit's attacks became more and more fierce. Its branches became thicker and the attack range expanded a lot.
However, the team members did not retreat because of this. They cooperated with each other and had a tacit understanding, allowing the tree spirit's health to drop steadily.
"Is this BOSS so easy to fight?"
Just as its health dropped to half, the tree spirit suddenly let out a deafening roar, and its body began to emit an even stronger green light.
Obviously, this was a sign that it was about to release a big move.
Fei Peng shouted loudly:
"Everyone, be careful, the BOSS is going to use a big move, keep your distance, and prepare to dodge!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tree spirit's branches suddenly became unusually flexible. They danced in the air, forming a huge green vortex, accumulating power above its head with great momentum.
The warriors who were still frantically dealing damage just now decisively used their movement skills to move away from the foot of the tree spirit.
The shield warriors in front immediately cast protective shields, providing an extra layer of protection for their teammates.
"Damn! Full-screen damage!"
The green vortex suddenly exploded, releasing a green shock wave that swept across everyone present.
Everyone looked left and right, and found that only those warriors with high health lost one-third, and everyone else lost nearly half of their health.
"I'll go, the damage is so high, keep fighting!"
Just as everyone was preparing to continue attacking, it actually started accumulating power again, wanting to launch another shock wave that would sweep the entire field.
"Retreat, switch people!"
Within such a short accumulation time, the priests' recovery amount obviously could not keep up with its damage, and no one knew whether the damage of this move was constantly increasing. Retreating at this time was the best choice.
Everyone quickly walked out of the door and let the second team enter to hold it back.
Once there are no players in this BOSS room, the BOSS's state will return to the beginning, so it is very necessary to have two teams take turns fighting.
In the gap between the two teams switching, only Qi Jing and another holy knight who could give himself a lot of health recovery stayed here.
Fortunately, Qi Jing had a high amount of lifesteal. As long as he kept attacking, his health would always be in a healthy state.
Bang!
It exploded again.
Seeing the tree spirit start accumulating power again, the holy knight shouted to Qi Jing:
"Qi Tian, this tree spirit's skills are so outrageous, there must be some weakness. Go up and take a look!"
How could there be a BOSS that constantly uses big moves like this? There must be a way to interrupt it.
Qi Jing hummed, and then used his movement skill towards the top of the tree spirit.
"Sword Thrust!"
After jumping to the top of the tree spirit, Qi Jing really saw a green gem in the center of its trunk.
That's it!
Qi Jing used his strongest single-target burst sword skill, "Aurora Overlord Slash", and slashed it with his sword.
The tree spirit let out a painful roar, its body began to tremble, and the green light gradually dimmed.
The second team members seized the opportunity and launched their strongest attacks one after another.
Sword light, magic, arrows, bullets...
Various attacks fell on the tree spirit like a storm, and its health dropped rapidly.
Just as its health dropped to 10%, it actually split into ten cute green lion beasts.
Everyone quickly divided into ten small teams and engaged in a righteous one-on-one duel with them.
"This tree spirit has quite a few tricks."
"So cute, I want to raise one."
Bang!
After killing one, its corpse actually exploded, blowing up a lot of health, and green blood splattered on everyone around.
"Still cute?"
"Not cute anymore."
Compared with the tree spirit, the damage of these lion beasts was more than a star and a half lower. They were all wiped out in a short while.
Everyone looked at the center at the same time.
Sure enough, the tree spirit appeared again in its original place.
At this time, it only had 5% health left, and a large number of green vines emerged from its body, frantically waving at everyone.
Obviously, it was making a final struggle.
According to experience, it should not have any more tricks, and everyone threw their skills at it with peace of mind.
Finally, under Qi Jing's fatal blow, the tree spirit let out a final wail, and its huge body slowly fell down, and the battle finally ended.
"Qi Tian, you are really awesome, your technique of stealing the last hit is really amazing."
"Sure enough, it's you again. What good things did you drop this time? Hurry up and show them to us."
"You still have such fast hands with a girlfriend, it's really enviable."
......
Except for the kill experience, which is distributed according to contribution, all other spoils are obtained by the person who gets the last hit.
At this time, the person who gets the last hit has to take out the loot one by one for distribution.
As someone who often steals kills, Qi Jing got to know others slowly in this process.
"You can't blame me for not being able to steal kills, right? It's obviously because your damage is too low, or should all these spoils belong to me."
"Good boy, you're getting cocky, aren't you? Wait until your trial and see how we deal with you."
"No, bro, I was wrong, I'll take it out now."
After a burst of jokes, Qi Jing took out the pile of spoils he had just obtained from his backpack:
Skill book "Vine Thorns", pet egg "Tree Lion", Spirit Tree Branch × 100......
There are really a lot of good things, but unfortunately they can't be brought into reality.
