Astonishing Subjugation Rewards!
"Holy crap!"
The sudden turn of events left the fat man completely dumbfounded!
At this moment, Cai Cai stood rooted to the spot, her face ashen, unable to move, already under the effects of nerve paralysis. The tongue that had pierced her abdomen contained a deadly poison, and her health bar was dropping rapidly, leaving her with Lightly Injured injury in the blink of an eye!
"Boom!"
In a flash, I transformed into a blur, unleashing Explosive Charge to lock onto my target and instantly piercing through their body. Then, I turned and slashed out with my sword, a chilling aura surging in my right arm. The Cold Star Piercing Bone sent my opponent flying, and frost continued to spread from their body!
At this moment, everyone finally saw the other party's true form. It was a huge alien creature about three meters tall, with skin like a chameleon that could actually become invisible. As the Cold Star Piercing Bone frost spread, its entire body finally appeared in front of everyone!
The next second, the BOSS's attributes came into view.
[Phantom Lurker] (Purple BOSS)
Level: 35
Attack: 1200-1400
Defense: 500
Qi and Blood: 500,000
Skills: [Bio-Optical Invisibility Lv8], [Neurotoxin Paralysis Pierce lv8], [Mutated Blade Armor Lv8]
Details: The Phantom Lurker a mutant among alien species. It is a species that combines the characteristics of a chameleon, enabling it to achieve optical camouflage and stealth. Furthermore, its tongue has evolved a piercing organ with a neurotoxin, capable of causing fatal damage to targets within ten meters. Since its appearance, the Phantom Lurker has been hailed as a silent killer and humanity's nightmare!
"Beat!"
I raised my hand and threw a Tian Gong Kai Wu + Overpowering Momentum at the opponent, then switched to my main weapon, the Explosive Gun, and fired a barrage of bullets at the Phantom Lurker's head. Immediately, Armor-piercing Round pierced through its skull, causing a series of dense damage!
Sure enough, ranged attacks didn't stack the damage-boosting effect, so I switched to the Overpowering Momentum Ride the Wind Sword and unleashed a flurry of attacks!
"Cai Cai!"
Zhang Ruolin provided cover for Cai Cai, holding a shield in one hand and firing Submachine Gun at the BOSS's head with the other. "Back up quickly, let's get our health back up first!"
At this moment, Cai Cai finally woke up from her nerve paralysis. Her face was ashen as she retreated. She used a First Aid Kit to bring her health bar back to about 50%, then picked up her Submachine Gun and aimed and fired from a distance!
"Quickly, finish this quickly!"
While switching magazines, I dodged the BOSS's attacks, Step Slash to run around it. For a moment Phantom Lurker's massive body couldn't easily turn around, letting out a series of roars.
Its body began to evolve continuously, and blade-like armor appeared on its surface. This was the third skill Mutated Blade Armor, which had a counter-damage effect against melee attacks!
However, our group was attacking with gunfire and we weren't falling for that tactic at all.
"Hiss~~~"
Finally, the Phantom Lurker let out a low growl, and its massive head rapidly split into four mouthparts, with a tongue poised to emerge from the center of each mouthpart!
"Careful!"
I quickly pulled out a grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it into its mouth, shouting, "Ruolin, Explosive Charge! Even if we can't interrupt the skill, we have to take this damage!"
"They're here!"
Ruolin acted decisively, her body instantly transforming into a blur as she pierced through the BOSS's body. At the same time, she raised her shield, switched to a longsword, and unleashed a smooth combo of basic attack + Dragon Blade + basic attack + Ground Spike Slash + basic attack, immediately drawing the Phantom Lurker's attention and drawing it into an attack!
"Puff!"
That wicked tongue shot out again, striking Zhang Ruolin's shield directly. The piercing organ on the tip of the tongue hissed and, in nearly a second, pierced through the shield and then through Zhang Ruolin's abdomen!
"3191!"
This time, the shield blocked part of the damage, making it much lighter than the one Cai Cai had taken. As for the remaining poison attack, it wouldn't be a problem at all with Ruolin's shield-type super weapon's health bar; she wouldn't even suffer Lightly Injured.
"Full power!"
I quickly switched to a full magazine and aimed at the Phantom Lurker's head, unleashing a barrage of fire!
With each attack of Armor-piercing Round, the back of the Lurker's head was finally ripped open, spraying red and white fluid everywhere. It finally felt like a Headshot!
"Beat!"
The fat guy was holding a blue Explosive Gun and firing it rapidly. I must say, the damage was quite high, about 50% of mine. Firepower Specialist are indeed very powerful in the early game. As long as you have a suitable weapon, your output can almost surpass that of other classes by a lot!
As for Kou Mei, her pupils glowed with a silvery-white light as she unleashed Psionic Attack!
"Whoosh!"
Strands of psionic vines rose from the ground; these were the Psionicist's second job advancement skill Psionic Chain, which could control the target for 2 seconds!
Unfortunately, perhaps because Kou Mei's Mental Power wasn't high enough, she was directly MISS'd by the BOSS!
She gritted her teeth and unleashed a Psionic Storm with a wave of her hand!
The attack covered the entire BOSS in a 10x10 area, and damage numbers soared into the air, which was quite considerable!
"1213!"
"1199!"
"1314!"
"1224!"
"1301!"
Overall, as players level up, improve their skills, and upgrade their equipment, the output of Psionicist, like that of Super Weapon Master, is gradually increasing. The output of characters like Kou Mei is already quite good. If their equipment were better, a single skill combo could easily deal tens of thousands of damage to the opponent.
"Hiss~~~"
When the Phantom Lurker's health bar dropped below 30%, it began to wail incessantly, and then launched another piercing attack with its mouthparts!
This time I didn't give it any chance. I tried to interrupt it with Explosive Charge and Cold Star Piercing Bone. As expected, Explosive Charge had a low hitbox and the stun effect was missed. But Cold Star Piercing Bone is an S-level control skill. With one strike, it sealed the BOSS's mouth in its throat!
"Full power!"
I immediately switched to the Explosive Gun and launched another fierce attack, emptying the magazine!
With the combined output of Cai Cai, Fatty, and others, the Phantom Lurker's health bar was on the verge of collapse. Finally, under the onslaught of a barrage of Explosive Gun bullets, its head exploded completely, turning it into a corpse that staggered back several steps before crashing to the ground!
Suddenly, a series of tinkling sounds rang in my ears!
[Congratulations! You have defeated the Phantom Lurker (Purple BOSS) and obtained the item: 1 BOSS Ability Crystal!]
[Battle Notification: You have defeated the Phantom Lurker (Purple BOSS), gaining 520,000 character experience points. You also gained 260,000 Experience Points through extraction at the Essence Furnace!]
[Battle Notification: You have defeated the Phantom Lurker (Purple BOSS) and received an additional reward: the Resurrection Sacred Canon Tome (S-rank recovery item)!]
"What?!"
I was stunned, unable to believe what I was seeing!
Previously, we cleared out a group of Licker, but the so-called "reward for the hunt" was actually quite perfunctory. It was basically just an extra 10%-20% of the experience gained from the kill, like giving a beggar a pittance.
But the reward for defeating the BOSS was incredibly amazing; it actually gave me the Resurrection Sacred Canon that I had been dreaming of!
Last time, after my first Resurrection Sacred Canon was destroyed by players from Ragnarok in Icewind Trail, I had a feeling of insecurity. Now, I've actually been rewarded with a Resurrection Sacred Canon through extra raid rewards. This luck is a bit too incredible!
Am I the protagonist of Star Abyss?!
I can't believe it...
"Holy crap..."
Beside him, Cai Cai stared in disbelief. "Brothers, guess what I got as a reward for my raid?"
"What?!"
The fat man asked, "Could it be Purple Explosive Gun?"
"You guessed right..."
Cai Cai pulled out a Tier 3 Purple Explosive Gun from her Dimensional Storage Space. Its firepower was as high as 450-550, which was even 50-50 higher than the Tier 2 purple Hellfire in my hand. With the addition of his Tier 3 Firepower Specialist skill, wouldn't that firepower be insane?!
In addition, Cai Cai's shooting level is also quite good. After all, she is Firepower Specialist who has been fed a lot of bullets. Although she is not as high as me, she is definitely one of the best players at this stage. With high-level shooting skills, the power that this gun can unleash will be quite terrifying!
Congratulations, Cai Cai!
I laughed and said, "Finally, I have a handy weapon! That's great!"
"Okay, Xie Xie, boss!"
Cai Cai said, "To be honest, if it weren't for you, Boss, overseeing things, I would most likely have died from the Phantom Lurker's tongue kiss, let alone get any reward for defeating it!"
"At least you have some conscience. Treat me to dinner when you make some money!"
"You absolutely have to eat!"
And you?
Ruolin asked, "What are the rewards for the remaining people's boss raids? I only get a bunch of experience points."
"Me too..."
The fat man and the Kou Mei nodded repeatedly.
After thinking about it, I decided to tell everyone anyway. So I took out the Resurrection Sacred Canon and said, "I was lucky. Maybe it's because of my high damage output, but the extra reward for the raid gave me a Resurrection Sacred Canon."
"Holy crap, the Resurrection Sacred Canon..."
Cai Cai's eyes were full of envy. "Awesome... Boss's luck is just unbelievable."
"Yeah, just lucky."
I nodded. "However, with the Resurrection Sacred Canon, the margin for error increases. I can be more diligent in rushing to the front lines, which will greatly reduce the risk of death for the rest of you."
"Right!"
Ruolin nodded emphatically and smiled, "Ding Han having the Resurrection Sacred Canon is a good thing for all of us. Our team's margin for error will be greatly increased as a result!"
"That..."
Cai Cai said, "There are still the BOSS Ability Crystal from the Phantom Lurker reward. Let's open them all. After we're done, we'll head out. Fatty, can I borrow some Explosive Gun bullets? I want to have some fun first."
"Sure, no problem!" The fat man was very agreeable to his own people.
The next moment, I opened my Dimensional Storage Space and took out a glittering purple Ability Crystal. As soon as I opened it, my eyes lit up and my heart started pounding!
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Roarer MP25 Submachine Gun] (Quality: Purple)!]
"Buzz~~~"
My mind went completely blank again, uncontrollably!
I'm so lucky this time! I even got another Purple Submachine Gun, which is exactly the equipment I need right now!
I hurriedly opened my Dimensional Storage Space, took out the new weapon, and was immediately blinded by its dazzling purple light—it almost blew my mind!
