Getting Past the Gatekeeper Boss

"Everyone already knows about the Instance Dungeon, but the situation inside is still unclear. Let's discuss the personnel," Lin Qimeng said.

"All ten of us definitely have to go, and the 15 people who signed the contract with the First Group also have to go. Then, let's try to find level 30 Player, okay?" Old Ma said.

"We can't just consider the level; Mecha with auxiliary skills and various special abilities should be given priority," said Sister Hua.

"Okay, everyone, please recommend the people you think are good. We need to assemble as soon as possible; I've already wasted too much time!" Wang Qianduo.

After discussing the matter, everyone quickly made preparations. Based on the information they had compiled, they quickly assembled a team of 50 people and headed straight for the Black Shark Pirate Nest.

In the past, for the Future Guild members, let alone a team of fifty people, even a team of five hundred people would only get them a second glance at most.

But now, all the Player are watching them intently, their eyes glued to them for a long time.

This is not only because of Old Wang, who has already made a name for himself, but also because they are the only team whose entire guild has their name displayed above their heads.

This is one of the benefits of the system recognizing teams; no matter how large the team battle, outsiders will absolutely not be able to infiltrate their guild team.

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the other Player, Wang Qianduo and his group entered the Instance Dungeon. The Nest Instance Dungeon only had one difficulty level, and there was no need to select one.

Upon entering the Instance Dungeon, everyone saw the complex of buildings inside the Protective Shield, the two heavy metal doors at the entrance of the buildings, and the two stone statues that had wiped out numerous guilds.

Runic Stone Statue (Blue)/(Red) [Nest]

LV30

Chief

HP300000

MP3000

Attack 600

Defense 90

Skills: Ice Impact/Fire Impact, Heavy Strike, Magic Stone Body (immune to 40% damage), Roll,???

Note: The Ancient Golem was discovered by the Black Shark Pirate Group by chance; its exact age and significance are unknown.

"Teams one and two, go activate the stone statues. Remember to keep flying and avoid the Freeze of the blue stones."

After the two area-of-effect skills in front of the stone statue were used, teams nine and ten immediately removed the status effects from them.

"Everyone else, get ready! Kill the red one first, then the blue one. Everyone buff yourselves and get ready to move out!" Sister Hua said.

After Sister Hua finished speaking, various lights began to shine on everyone's bodies, as they were stacking various buff skills.

Old Wang and his group of 50 people were divided into 10 teams. Teams one and two used defensive Mecha, teams nine and ten used Support Mech, Mecha the other teams used Damage Mech.

"Let's get started!" Sister Hua shouted after the buff was applied.

"Receive!"

After everyone agreed, the ten Defense Mech, led by Sword of Miracles and Old Ma, flew into the aggro range of the two stone statues.

The two stone statues were immediately activated, unleashing fire and ice shocks at several Defense Mech.

The fire impact hit directly, while the ice impact only caused minor damage and did not Freeze enemies because everyone was flying in the air.

After those two skills, Old Ma and Miracle each Taunt one of the stone statues, while the others took over defending against the attacks of the two giant stone statues.

The Support Mech immediately stepped forward to maintain the tanks' health, while the Damage Mech moved in to begin attacking.

-95

After a round of attacks, it was discovered that most people's damage was in the double digits, with only a few barely reaching the triple digits. At this point, Old Wang's four-digit damage stood out from the crowd.

"Thousand King gambler! To think he could deal this much damage to a boss like this!"

"I only have 11 points, the boss has a hundred times more!"

"Quiet! Everyone who spoke just now will have 5 contribution points deducted!" Sister Hua.

Upon hearing this, the two people who were talking in the guild channel immediately shut up.

Actually, there were definitely more than just the two of them chatting, but it was definitely only the two of them talking in the group chat.

Although it was a private chat, Sister Hua's stern warning was still quite effective; as she got angry, everyone visibly became much more serious.

This is something that other major tournaments wouldn't have. Future Guild is initially established, they certainly still have a lot to grow in.

The damage dealt by the crowd, amounting to tens or hundreds of points, was practically insignificant to the two stone statues with 300,000 HP.

However, they have broken through their defenses, and once their defenses are broken, they can be worn down. At the same time, everyone also has some skills that increase damage. After these negative status effects are applied to them, everyone's damage will increase.

The two stone statues' attacks were actually quite clumsy; Old Ma and Miracle had no problem dealing with them at all.

What everyone initially thought was a powerful rolling attack was actually just them turning into stone balls and rolling around on the ground; they could easily dodge it by flying up.

Even the Sword of Miracles discovered that if they were to collide with each other, they would be stunned for up to 5 seconds and lose a certain amount of health.

These five seconds are absolutely crucial for the Future Guild that possesses the Dragon Princess Mecha.

Five seconds of True Damage can take away a significant amount of health from this tough-skinned stone golem.

"Something's not right!" Sword of Miracles suddenly exclaimed as the battle raged on, noticing that the Blue Stone Golem's health had dropped to one-third.

"What's wrong?" Sister Hua asked.

"These two stone golems are too difficult; the two of them alone cannot withstand guilds like Star River and Ten Thousand Miles."

"But they were indeed wiped out by those two stones. There's definitely something wrong with those two skills we can't see," Sword of Miracles.

Sister Hua was startled when she heard his words, and then she thought of a very terrible possibility.

"Everyone stop! Now switch your attack to the red stones. We'll kill both of them together!" Sister Hua immediately ordered.

In games with two bosses, the most common strategy is for one to revive the other, and then the player decides to kill them together, which is the safest option.

But something still felt off about the Sword of Miracles; if they were resurrected, they shouldn't have been wiped out.

However, the Sword of Miracles, unable to figure it out, decided to give up. After all, it's just pioneering a new area; if we wipe, so be it. After wiping twice, we'll know everything.

So the group started reducing the red stone golem's health. Inevitably, they would encounter the blue stone golem during this process, but they had enough health left to kill both of them at once.

As time went on, the two stone golems' health points decreased, and the Future Guild members' teamwork became increasingly seamless.

After their tireless efforts, both of the stone golems had less than 10,000 health points left.

"Now's the time! Unleash all your skills and take down Blue Stone first!" Sister Hua said to the group.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately focused their fire and took the blue stone away in an instant. In fact, they didn't even need to do that; the 10,000 HP wasn't enough for Old Wang to deal with on his own.

However, after Blue Stone was killed, he did not enter the countdown to resurrection as everyone had imagined. Instead, the Magic Power within his body continued to Rampage wildly.

"Oh no! This is a self-destruction!" Old Ma shouted excitedly.

But it was too late for everyone to run. A moment later, with a loud "boom," the Runic Stone Statue exploded on the spot, unleashing a burst of icy Magic Energy mixed with a large number of high-speed rocks.

Not only were all the members of the Future Guild frozen in place, but they were also subjected to a baptism of stones.

Apart from Old Wang, who survived by using his skill to Desperate Counterattack, everyone else was wiped out by the stone golem's self-destruction.

Old Wang currently has over 4400 HP, along with extremely high elemental Magic Energy resistance and the help of Lava Shield. He even has a skill that uses MP to absorb damage. If he still managed to launch Desperate Counterattack, how could anyone else possibly withstand it?

He looked at the other red stone; it was still alive after such a powerful self-destruction, even though it was also dead. This was simply illogical.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the Desperate Counterattack was still in progress, Old Wang decisively used Gale's Breath to wipe out all of his health.

Just as he was bracing himself for self-destruction, he was surprised to find that he had actually made it through.

You asked him how he knew? Both boxes fell out; what else could it be but passing inspection?

"Does only the first stone to die explode?" Old Wang wondered.

He landed cautiously. He only had 1 point of health left. If he died from coughing and bumping, wouldn't that be a terrible tragedy?

After landing, Old Wang was low on health, tried to restore his health with Potion, but he then discovered that all the special Potion he had purchased from the shop in this Instance Dungeon were unusable.

Of Potion in his backpack, he could only use the most Normal HP Recovery Potion and MP Recovery Potion.

Seeing this, Old Wang had no choice but to drink an HP Potion and an MP Potion, restoring several hundred HP and MP.

This thing, though called Potion, is actually a Mecha energy bar. Crushing it will heal the Mecha's injuries.

Then he started casting Light Healing on himself, and because he was standing on the ground, his health and mana began to recover rapidly.

By the time Lin Qimeng and the others are resurrected, he will have fully recovered his health.

"The Thousand King Gamblers is awesome!"

"The Thousand King is mighty!"

"Boss, you're amazing! You survived two self-destructions of that power!"

"Boss is awesome! That thing took away over 290,000 of my health in one hit, enough to kill me dozens of times over!"

Were we the first to defeat these two bosses?

Upon arrival, everyone excitedly remarked that they had thought they were doomed, but the powerful player had unexpectedly bypassed those two insane stones.

After responding to them with a smile, Wang Qianduo told Sister Hua and the others what had just happened.

"The second stone didn't explode? Actually, our initial route was correct. This stone's explosion dealt me 291,235 damage. Isn't that exact amount of damage that the red stone lost?" Sister Hua said.

"I'm sorry, I was overthinking things this time," Sword of Miracles said somewhat apologetically.

"It has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, we really wouldn't be able to get by without you."

Although we didn't hit the red stone at the beginning, we still accidentally damaged it by more than 10,000 HP.

For us, 10,000 HP and 300,000 HP make no difference, because neither of us has any.

"If you hadn't reminded us to cripple the red stone, Old Wang wouldn't have been able to clear the level directly," Lin Qimeng said.

"That's right, enough of that, let's open the box," said Old Wang.
