Ogre Cliff

Xia Yuwei looked at Zhang Zibo, who said, "I definitely can't tank it."

Hearing this, the morale of the team members dropped somewhat. Although they hadn't initially believed they could defeat an Epic-level boss, they had held onto some hope as they made their way here. However, that hope was now shattered.

"If the boss can't be tanked, then what are we even fighting for? I said long ago that Epic-level dungeons are impossible. Now someone's big talk has tripped them up," Zheng Yuan chimed in again from the side, his face full of mockery as he looked at Lu Yang.

If they couldn't beat the dungeon, Zheng Yuan believed that Xia Yuwei and the others would definitely stop paying attention to Lu Yang. Since they wouldn't be seeing each other after today, Zheng Yuan wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Lu Yang and get back at him for what happened before.

Fierce Wine Clear Wind glared at Zheng Yuan and said, "Let's try it once first. I'll try my best."

Defeating a boss depended not only on equipment but also on the player's skill. Besides, Chi Mu had instructed him, and Fierce Wine Clear Wind didn't want Lu Yang to be humiliated here.

Xia Yuwei also glanced at Zheng Yuan with dissatisfaction. She was speechless at Zheng Yuan's shortsightedness. In her opinion, even if they couldn't beat the Epic-level dungeon, there were still Expert and Hard levels. As long as Fierce Wine Clear Wind and the Black Armored Warrior were there, they could still get equipment by lowering the difficulty.

But to keep those two, they couldn't offend Lu Yang in the first place. Xia Yuwei said, "I also agree to try it once, just to gain experience."

Zhang Zibo understood Xia Yuwei's meaning and said, "I believe in Brother Lu Yang's command ability. Let's try it once first."

Lu Yang looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Why do you all look like you can't beat it?"

Everyone thought to themselves that just looking at the muscles on the boss's arm and the oversized club was enough to know they couldn't win.

Lu Yang patted Fierce Wine Clear Wind on the shoulder and asked, "If I could increase your defense by another 30 points, could you tank it?"

Fierce Wine Clear Wind said, "That should be possible. If I could get an extra 30 defense, it shouldn't be a problem for me to tank him."

Zhang Zibo said, "With an extra 30 defense, I feel like I could tank him two or three times."

Lu Yang said, "That's good."

He waved at Lan Yu and said, "Little girl, come here."

"Ah, what is it?" Lan Yu walked over blankly.

"Learn this." Lu Yang took out the Goblin Guardian from his backpack, which he had looted from the Orc Warrior.

"What kind of book is this?" Lan Yu asked.

Lu Yang said, "This book is called Goblin Guardian. It's a divine skill for Priests in the early stages. It can increase a player's defense by 30 points for 30 minutes."

Fierce Wine Clear Wind was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the book and saying, "How could there be such a skill book? This, this is too buggy."

Xia Yuwei and the others were also stunned. Any player could understand the value of this book. 30 points of defense was simply too precious for early-stage players.

Lan Yu quickly said, "I can't take this book."

If it were put up for auction, the price of this skill book would be at least 2 Gold Coins.

Lu Yang said, "Hurry up and take it, otherwise, we won't be able to beat this dungeon. I don't have that much time to waste here with you guys. I have a lot of other things to do."

"Ah? Oh." Lan Yu felt that her brain was a bit overloaded, and she took the skill book blankly, saying, "Then I'll learn it first. If you have any dungeons in the future, just call me, and I'll be there whenever you need me."

Lu Yang said, "That's right."

Fierce Wine Clear Wind gave Xiao Liang a look and sent a message saying, "Our boss is very skilled at picking up girls."

"Worthy of being my boss," Xiao Liang replied with a knowing look.

After Lan Yu learned the skill, a light brown hexagonal icon appeared in her skill bar. After selecting the icon, she aimed the skill at Fierce Wine Clear Wind.

Suddenly, a rich, dark brown earth element appeared around Fierce Wine Clear Wind, condensing into a hexagon before bursting onto Fierce Wine Clear Wind's armor.

System Notification: Lan Yu used the skill Goblin Guardian on Fierce Wine Clear Wind.

System Notification: Fierce Wine Clear Wind is affected by Goblin Guardian, increasing defense by 30 points.

Fierce Wine Clear Wind opened his stats and found that he really had 30 more defense, and said excitedly, "My defense is 133 now. It really increased by 30 points!"

"Great, we really have a chance to kill the Epic-level dungeon boss."

"Silver-grade equipment!" Zhang Zibo was also excited.

The team members were all excited. The equipment dropped by the Epic-level dungeon boss was at least Bronze-grade and at most Silver-grade. They were the first in the entire game to fight an Epic-level dungeon, so the probability of getting Silver was very high.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lu Yang knew that their emotions had been stirred up, and he commanded, "This boss isn't difficult. If everyone listens to my commands, we can easily beat it. Now, stand in the positions I require."

"Guild Leader Lu Yang, just say it, we'll listen to you."

"Just tell us how to fight, and we'll do it."

The players in the team had originally thought that they couldn't beat this boss at all, but now that they saw an opportunity, everyone became serious.

Lu Yang said, "Except for the melee fighters, Mages stand to my left, Priests stand in front of me, and Hunters and Warlocks stand to my right. The distance between each team and me is 10 yards."

Although he hadn't played this dungeon in 15 years, the first dungeon he cleared was always memorable. Lu Yang still remembered how he cleared this dungeon back then.

Unlike normal dungeons, this Epic dungeon boss had two phases. The first phase was when its Blood Essence was at 100%~50%. The boss only used pure physical attacks. The second phase was when the boss's health was at 50%~0%. In this phase, the boss would randomly release Frost Flowers and Flame Flowers on the ground. Frost slowed down, and Flame damaged health. This phase was the most difficult because the boss would first choose to release Flame Flowers on players who were hit by Frost Flowers. Once hit by Flame Flowers, they would die in 2 seconds.

New players didn't know to dodge Frost Flowers, and by the time Flame Flowers appeared, it was too late to dodge.

After drawing the positions on the ground, Lu Yang said, "Let's try to clear it in one go. Those who have cleared the Normal dungeon know that this boss doesn't have any other skills, just high physical output. But this is an Epic dungeon, so if any problems arise in the middle, everyone must listen to my commands in a timely manner."

He didn't want to specifically mention the boss's skills to avoid suspicion. Although he could solve it with a simple "internal beta player," lies told too often would eventually be exposed. Therefore, it was better not to say anything. Besides, as long as everyone listened to the commands, dodging wouldn't be too difficult.

"Oh." Fierce Wine Clear Wind and Xia Yuwei blinked, some people reacting, while others were still blindly optimistic.

"Since there are no problems, Lan Yu, give the Black Armor the Goblin Guardian. Clear Wind, start the fight first. Everyone watch my position and move. After Clear Wind breaks the armor three times, everyone output. Let's kill the boss and celebrate together," Lu Yang said loudly.
