Chapter 71

The mocking lasted only 2 seconds. If the hate couldn't be stabilized after the taunt, the BOSS would still turn to attack Hongyue. However, for Li Huailin, it wasn't that complicated. His hate was already close to OT (Over Threat), so he directly used Heroic Strike to pull the hate. Plus, Hongyue was only using auto-attacks and not skills, so just one strike successfully attracted the BOSS.

-249

The BOSS slashed Li Huailin, who had higher attributes than Hongyue but was not wearing any gear, so the damage wasn't very noticeable. However, Li Huailin's total HP was very noticeable, with nearly 4000 HP, and 200 points of damage didn't really affect him.

"Huishui, heal Huailin well." Hongyue, seeing that the BOSS had already been taken over by Li Huailin, immediately said.

"Brother-in-law doesn't seem to be losing much HP." Hongyan Huishui looked at Li Huailin's HP bar and said, "The BOSS doesn't seem to be able to hurt Brother-in-law much."

"You've angered me, Hongyan Huishui, I'm going to crash into you and kill you!" the BOSS suddenly said.

"Hey, why me again! I just ran back." Hongyan Huishui shouted at the BOSS.

Of course, the BOSS didn't care. A charge knocked Hongyan Huishui, who had just run back, flying, and then the BOSS turned to find Li Huailin again.

-400

The BOSS suddenly opened its mouth and spewed fire directly onto Li Huailin's face. Without fire resistance, Li Huailin took a full 400 points of damage, and two buffs immediately appeared in his buff bar.

Burning: Restores 20 HP per second for 5 seconds.

Temperature Stacking: Reduces fire damage taken by 10% for 30 seconds.

"Turns out this fire spew isn't a debuff, it's a direct damage skill." Li Huailin initially thought the fire spew would heal him, but it turned out to be a direct damage skill, with the subsequent burning being the debuff.

"Fire!" The BOSS roared and released a fire pillar skill. This time it was more troublesome, as the fire pillar appeared directly under Hongyue's feet.

"Huailin, move back!" Hongyue, realizing that the fire pillar would expand and might burn Li Huailin, immediately said, and moved forward to avoid the fire pillar.

"You've angered me, Hongyue, I'm going to crash into you and kill you!" Unfortunately, the BOSS used the charge skill again, targeting Hongyue.

With a "bang," Hongyue, who had just moved out of the fire pillar's range, was immediately hit by the BOSS's charge and flew out. However, the direction she flew was very unfortunate, directly toward the fire pillar.

-280, -280.

In the air, Hongyue was burned by the fire pillar twice, and then fell, causing 150 points of fall damage, resulting in her immediate death.

"The BOSS's combo directly one-shot Hongyue." Li Huailin said.

"Brother-in-law, what do we do?" Hongyan Huishui, who had just run back again, asked.

"Keep fighting." Li Huailin said. He wasn't afraid of the BOSS's stacking damage skills. By the time it stacked to 10 layers, he would be immune to fire damage. If not for the BOSS's skill being so problematic, always targeting its own allies, he would have wanted to pull the BOSS to the final BOSS to get a buff, making the fight much easier.

He looked up and saw the BOSS still had 67% HP. Now with two priests healing him, it didn't seem to be a problem.

"I need at least ten minutes to run back." Hongyue, after respawning, said in the team chat.

"We should be able to make it. Just heal me well and avoid the fire pillars." Li Huailin also said in the team chat.

"When avoiding the fire pillars, move to the side to avoid being hit again by the charge." Hongyue added, "Everyone, increase your output. When Huailin's debuffs stack too much, he won't be able to hold on. His damage is high, so he won't OT. Yan, go all out."

"Okay." Hongchen Yan replied.

After that, the battle became strangely easy. Li Huailin's buffs stacked more and more, and the fire damage became less and less. The BOSS seemed to focus on Hongyan Huishui, charging at her repeatedly. Each time she just ran back and got charged again, endlessly.

"10% left." Hongchen Yan looked at the HP bar and said.

Li Huailin checked his buff bar, which had already stacked 8 layers, reducing fire damage by 80%. The fire spew and fire pillars no longer posed any threat to him, leaving only 200 points of physical damage. Although Hongyan Huishui kept getting charged, there was still a priest, Cuiwu, healing her, so there was no pressure.

"3%, 1%, done!"

"This isn't the result I wanted..."

General Dekrik shouted and slowly collapsed to the ground.

Battle Log: Your team has defeated the first BOSS of Boron, General Dekrik, losing 450 experience.

"Is it over?" Hongyue, still running back, also received the system notification.

"Done!" Hongyan Huishui shouted loudly, "This damn thing kept charging at me, it was targeting me, now it can't charge me anymore."

"That's not bad, if it charged at me, we'd be short one output." Hongchen Yan laughed and said.

"Not at all, running back and forth is so annoying!" Hongyan Huishui pouted and said.

"But you unintentionally made a huge contribution." Hongchen Yan smiled and said in the team chat, "Sister, are you almost here?"

"Almost at the entrance, just wait a bit." Hongyue replied.

"Wait for the guild leader to come before looting." Hongchen Yan said.

Of course, everyone nodded in agreement. They waited a bit, and then saw Hongyue slowly running over.

"Phew, didn't expect such a big mishap, but it's good that Huailin held on, otherwise we would have wiped." Hongyue looked at General Dekrik's corpse and said.

"Guild leader, loot the body, loot the body." Hongyan Huishui couldn't wait and said, "Let me do it, let me do it."

"Oh, you..." Hongyue was about to agree but was interrupted by Li Huailin.

"Strongly request that Hongfei Cuiwu loot the body." Li Huailin said.

"Eh? Why, Brother-in-law?" Hongyan Huishui asked curiously.

"I feel like your luck has plummeted recently. See, the BOSS always charges at you, it's like it's addicted to it. But look at Hongfei Cuiwu, she hasn't been charged once since the fight started. Isn't that incredible luck?" Li Huailin said.

"Hmm?" Hongyan Huishui thought about it, and it was true that Hongfei Cuiwu hadn't been charged once, "Yeah, it seems she really hasn't been charged. Why? How unfair is that?"

"Indeed, why?" Hongfei Cuiwu thought about it and realized she hadn't been charged either, but she didn't know why.

"Probably a targeting issue, but we don't know how it's determined." Hongyue thought and said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter who loots it, so let Cuiwu do it."

"Oh." Hongyan Huishui nodded disappointedly.

"Then I'll do it." Hongfei Cuiwu didn't really care who looted the body, but since the guild leader said so, she went to loot it. As soon as she touched the body, a golden light appeared in everyone's sight.

Executioner's Hand Axe (Gold): One-handed axe, attack 55-75, strength +20, agility +8, critical hit chance +2%. Required level: 20, classes: Warrior, Hunter.

"Really got a gold item!" Hongyan Huishui exclaimed.
