Chapter 645 The Book of Talisman Guidance!
The Poison Mist Scorpion shrieked miserably, scrambled to its feet, and began attacking Watery Color Smokes frantically. Boom, boom, boom! The ground trembled, but Watery Color Smokes remained as steadfast as a rock in a raging storm.
Watery Color Smokes successfully delayed the Poison Mist Scorpion for about five seconds, forcing it to recharge its poison mist, its abdomen swelling little by little.
Under the fierce barrage of the players behind, the Poison Mist Scorpion's health dropped to around 6%.
Infernal Execution!
Still ineffective.
"Just a little bit more, everyone, keep it up!" Nie Yan shouted anxiously in the team chat. The situation was extremely critical. If their crowd control or powerful interrupts could continue to connect, they might be able to take down the Poison Mist Scorpion. If they couldn't, they would soon be facing a Poison Mist Scorpion with full health.
Then they would be utterly hopeless.
They had to hold on!
Nie Yan glanced at his skill bar. Most of his skills were still on cooldown. This wasn't the Realm of Illusion; the cooldown times of these skills were quite long. He was currently helpless against the Poison Mist Scorpion.
Just as the Poison Mist Scorpion was about to spew out its poison mist, Brilliant Knife Light, standing in front of it, suddenly roared. A powerful airflow enveloped the large shield in his hand, forming an intense aura in the center of the shield.
Air Aegis!
Brilliant Knife Light swung out a heavy blow, and with a loud bang, the shield slammed heavily into the Poison Mist Scorpion's head, knocking it askew.
The Poison Mist Scorpion's body contracted violently in pain.
Air Aegis was Brilliant Knife Light's advanced combat skill. It had a cooldown time of three real-time days. This skill seemed unremarkable, but its effect was extremely powerful, capable of interrupting all skill effects. It was Brilliant Knife Light's trump card when fighting bosses.
"I don't have many skills left either. Low-level skills are ineffective against this guy," Brilliant Knife Light said with a wry smile.
Air Aegis successfully delayed the Poison Mist Scorpion for three seconds.
Everyone had basically used up all their available skills, feeling like they were at their wit's end. No one had been able to successfully execute the Poison Mist Scorpion; the level difference was too great, and the execution success rate was too low.
The Poison Mist Scorpion's health was reduced to about 3%. With so little health remaining, the Poison Mist Scorpion's skin had turned completely red. Even withstanding the dense magic attacks, the Poison Mist Scorpion's health was still slowly rising.
If the damage output was too low, this situation would often occur. After the Poison Mist Scorpion used a skill, its health regeneration rate exceeded the players' attack output.
"Everyone, use AoE magic!"
"We'll hit our own people!"
"Don't worry about it, fire!" Nie Yan shouted. The warriors in front could be resurrected if they died, but if they couldn't kill the Poison Mist Scorpion, they would all die!
At that moment, Big Brother Seven, the leader, waved his staff. After chanting a spell, a giant pillar of light descended from the sky and struck the Poison Mist Scorpion. Where the white light and the Poison Mist Scorpion's body came into contact, wisps of white smoke immediately rose from its body.
Damage numbers exceeding 10,000 floated above the Poison Mist Scorpion's head.
The priest's Holy Purge was extremely effective against evil creatures.
Immediately afterward, dense AoE magic rained down from the sky, bombarding the area. The warriors in the front were instantly killed by these spells, and dense fireballs slammed into the Poison Mist Scorpion, pushing it to the ground.
Brilliant Knife Light and Watery Color Smokes quickly retreated.
"Almost got it!"
"Everyone, keep going!"
Under the dense AoE magic, the Poison Mist Scorpion's health finally slowly decreased.
Only about 2% left! The Poison Mist Scorpion was about to die!
The Poison Mist Scorpion continued to move slowly under the dense AoE magic!
"Warriors, Paladins, ram it! Don't let it get out!"
Nie Yan shouted. One after another, the warriors and paladins charged towards the Poison Mist Scorpion, constantly ramming into its body, using their bodies to block its progress. One after another, the warriors fell to the ground. Brilliant Knife Light and Watery Color Smokes also charged in, undoubtedly following in the footsteps of those warriors.
At this critical moment, holding the Poison Mist Scorpion for even a second was worth it.
Just as the Poison Mist Scorpion was about to die, it opened its mouth and spewed out a ball of black poison mist. The black gas quickly spread, and there were signs that the Poison Mist Scorpion's health was rising again.
Not good! If they didn't interrupt it, it would be too late.
Seeing this scene, Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the skill bar. The Spinal Break skill had already cooled down.
Nie Yan cast Divine Arbitration on himself, followed by a Blink, entering the area covered by AoE magic. Aiming at its back, he used Spinal Break. The Poison Mist Scorpion was halfway through spewing its poison mist when Nie Yan interrupted it.
The Poison Mist Scorpion entered a crippled state.
Fortunately, the poison mist spewed out by the Poison Mist Scorpion wasn't much and was quickly purified by the priests' and paladins' Holy Light.
If they didn't output damage, this guy would cause more trouble! Nie Yan used Shadow Strike, followed by a Backstab, and damage numbers floated above the Poison Mist Scorpion's head. The Poison Mist Scorpion's health continued to drop.
The mages in the rear didn't dare to stop casting spells. The flames of the AoE magic were constantly flickering before Nie Yan's eyes. His vision was filled with fire, and he couldn't see clearly at all. He could only rely on his senses to output damage to the Poison Mist Scorpion.
He didn't know how much health the Poison Mist Scorpion had left. At this point, he could only do his best.
Tang Yao chanted a spell in the rear, and a giant ball of flame suddenly gathered in the sky. It was several times larger than the Poison Mist Scorpion's body. This giant ball of flame fell from the sky, and with a deafening boom, a damage number exceeding 30,000 floated above the Poison Mist Scorpion's head.
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong...
Many players in the Niu Ren Tribe were enveloped in white light, indicating that they had leveled up.
"Is the Poison Mist Scorpion dead?" a player asked incredulously.
"The system says the Poison Mist Scorpion is dead!"
Several players had been in a state of extreme tension since the beginning. Seeing the Poison Mist Scorpion die, they relaxed all at once, and their bodies went limp.
"Boss, the Poison Mist Scorpion is dead!"
Knowing that the Poison Mist Scorpion was dead, Nie Yan quickly moved out of the range of the AoE magic attacks.
The mages finally stopped. After a few seconds of continuous AoE magic, they finally stopped. The corpse of the Poison Mist Scorpion in the center had been scorched black.
The scene in front was a tragic one. Around the Poison Mist Scorpion's body, there were at least three or four hundred corpses lying on the ground. Not a single warrior was left. Only a few paladins and thieves had survived. The melee units had been almost completely wiped out. If the Poison Mist Scorpion hadn't died, they would have been completely wiped out after this round of AoE magic. Fortunately, this worst-case scenario hadn't happened.
Everyone showed relaxed smiles.
Nie Yan also breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the Poison Mist Scorpion to pick up the equipment that had dropped on the ground.
"Priests, resurrect the teammates. Everyone else, recover in place," Nie Yan said. He rummaged around the Poison Mist Scorpion's body and picked up three pieces of equipment, two gems, and two quest items. The Poison Mist Scorpion had actually dropped so many things, it was a big haul.
Nie Yan took a look. Two of the three pieces of equipment were level 100 or higher. One was a level 100 Dark Gold greatsword with an attack of over 3,000. If it was inlaid with a gem that reduced the requirements, it would definitely be a good item. The other was a mage's Dark Gold robe, which greatly increased spell damage. The remaining item was a special item, a Shield Ring, which could release a shield spell. Nie Yan already had enough rings, so this kind of thing was more suitable for a shield warrior.
None of these three pieces of equipment were what Nie Yan needed. He glanced at the two gems, and Nie Yan's expression changed. A bright emerald green gem appeared before his eyes, dazzlingly bright.
After taking a closer look, he confirmed that it was indeed a Verdant Emerald Gem of Life.
With the Verdant Emerald Gem of Life, Nie Yan could craft another Pious Wish Necklace. A good deal.
There were also two quest items. One was the design blueprint for a Griffin Cage, which contained the crafting method for the Griffin Cage, exactly what Brilliant Knife Light and the others had been searching for. As for the other item, it was a thin piece of parchment, covered in dirt, somewhat old and worn. It had some strange symbols drawn on it, written in an unknown language.
If this thing was placed in some inconspicuous place, it would definitely be thrown away like trash. But since it had dropped from a level 110 Lord, Nie Yan naturally paid attention to it.
System: You have obtained the Alexia Rune Inscription.
This item was soulbound upon pickup. Since he hadn't received any quest clues, Nie Yan could only put it aside for now. He would first study what language was on it and go to the library in Carol City to learn the language. He estimated that he would then be able to understand it.
Nie Yan put the Alexia Rune Inscription and the Verdant Emerald Gem of Life into his bag. As for the other items, he would let Knife Light and the others take them and distribute them themselves.
In addition, Nie Yan, as usual, distributed some guild contribution points to each member.
The mage players were sitting on the ground in twos and threes to restore their health and mana. The priests went to the front and resurrected the fallen teammates one by one. Brilliant Knife Light and the others came back to life, recovered for a while, and then walked towards Nie Yan.
"How did you train your skills? How are skills like Muffle so OP?" Brilliant Knife Light and the others asked Nie Yan, amazed that he could control a level 110 Lord monster for so long. The skill effects were too strong.
Sun and King of the World also looked at Nie Yan. They also wanted to know why the skill effects of their Muffle and Stun skills were so much different from Nie Yan's.
"It's an level 8 Muffle," Nie Yan said. There was nothing to hide from Knife Light and the others.
Hiss. Brilliant Knife Light and the others gasped. They understood what an level 8 skill meant. Under normal circumstances, skills like Muffle couldn't be trained to such a high level in less than a year or two, unless they were practiced day and night non-stop.
They exchanged glances. With an level 8 Muffle, it was no wonder it could cause such a strong effect.
