Unexpected
It has to be said that their plan was really brilliant, hitting the nail on the head of each guild.
Other guild members could only curse them as shameless; there was nothing else they could do.
Their men have used every means at their disposal, desperately trying to kill Hill directly.
But when Hill's health was down to only a few hundred thousand, they still couldn't withstand the increasingly severe venomous corrosion and collapsed from exhaustion.
However, just when Ten Thousand Miles's plan was about to succeed, they encountered another problem: an unexpected accident occurred once again.
Hill is currently releasing poison gas much faster than at the beginning, even faster than they imagined.
Without the restriction of the Ten Thousand Miles Machine, Player waiting for an opportunity outside the shield and newly arrived Player couldn't even get close to the boss; they were poisoned to death before they could take more than a few steps.
Then everyone watched as the Poison Mist in the abandoned factory grew thicker and thicker, and the world inside the barrier turned into a purple world.
Everyone felt that their attempt to defeat the World Boss might fail.
"Look what you've done! How are we supposed to get into this factory after this failure?"
"I never expected Ten Thousand Miles Lament to be such a sore loser!"
Are you happy now?
After many guild members were resurrected and rushed back, they all criticized Ten Thousand Miles Guild, making the Normal Player of the Ten Thousand Miles Guild feel ashamed.
They had reached the shield again, but the current concentration of the Poison Mist prevented them from getting in.
They couldn't even get inside to restart the two devices because they couldn't reach them.
"Stop arguing, can't you see the boss hasn't disengaged from combat yet?" said Wanli Mingyue, the commander of the Ten Thousand Miles Guild.
Only then did everyone notice the anomaly on the display panel; so much time had passed, the boss should have already disengaged from the battle.
However, their damage rankings are still active, meaning there are still people fighting the boss while enduring this Poison Mist.
There was no need for anyone to guess who it was, because Wang Qianduo was the only one whose damage value was fluctuating across the entire leaderboard.
In fact, if they had observed carefully before they died, they would have discovered that Old Wang, who was flying in the Poison Mist, was not losing any health at all.
This is obviously the effect of in-game purchase items.
Venomous Seed
Binding
Perfect
After use, it can remove the corrosive effects of the venom on the Mecha and put it into a venom-resistant state.
Cooldown time: 20 seconds
Poison Resistance (Perfect): Immune to any poison attack below the Perfect for 600 seconds.
Hill is merely a Chief- level boss; his Poison Mist is clearly not yet at the Perfect.
"Who exactly is this Thousand King? How has he managed to persist for so long?" As this question arose in everyone's minds, the members of the Ten Thousand Miles Guild began to panic.
They've already resorted to such shameless tactics; it would be interesting if they lost the first kill as well.
"Brother, what should we do?" Yang Shanhe, Yang Wanli's younger brother, asked from among the members of the Ten Thousand Miles Guild.
Yang Wanli: "..."
If I knew what to do, would I be waiting here? I would have stormed in already, okay?
But he couldn't say that aloud; he could only squint his eyes and feign a profound, enigmatic expression as he spoke:
"Wait!"
What the hell are you waiting for! He's just praying that this boss will be strong enough to take down that guy called "Thousand King".
However, his appearance reassured the guild members, so they began to observe the situation inside the barrier.
But the barrier was filled with a purple Poison Mist, and they couldn't see anything.
"Is that really Old Wang inside the barrier?"
As everyone gazed at the purple mist, Sword of Miracles, Song in the Clouds, and Sister Cat all simultaneously approached Lin Qimeng and asked her questions.
Because Lin Qimeng's name was also on Wang Qianduo's team, and Lin Qimeng was easy to find; she was the prettiest one in the crowd.
Lin Qimeng didn't answer their questions, she just smiled at them.
She thought to herself, "Aren't you just asking the obvious? How could the names on the system's damage panel be wrong?"
But this reaction is enough for both sides; it's already a fairly affirmative answer.
They gazed at the purple expanse before them, their minds momentarily blank with uncertainty.
Just then, another change occurred within the barrier: twenty-two clearly visible light sources appeared in the sky above the battlefield, unleashing a barrage of bombardments on the factory below.
Everyone thought this was another powerful move from the boss, and that the Thousand King might not be able to hold on.
These people are truly scared; they're no longer thinking about anything else.
They figured that if Wang Qianduo fell, the boss would be fully healed, and they would still have a chance to compete for the first kill.
If the boss falls, they will receive nothing but ranking rewards.
But only Lin Qimeng and a few others knew that this was actually Wang Qianduo's trump card.
The Photon Explosion dispersed some of the purple Poison Mist, and the figure of the Lord of the Elements appeared vaguely before the world for the first time.
The white Mecha, set against a backdrop of pale purple mist and golden light, appeared incredibly majestic.
In Phoenix Mode, fiery wings emerged from the jet propulsion system behind him, as if he were about to take flight.
Holding the Minghong Blade in one hand, he pointed it at the twenty-two "suns" in the sky, as if he were a god commanding them to baptize the polluted earth with their radiance.
However, this scene was fleeting, and the purple mist quickly enveloped him again.
Although only a few people near the shield witnessed this scene, they deeply remembered this impressive Mecha.
The boss's health was now less than 20,000, and the people outside still hadn't come up with any solutions.
They already realized they had misunderstood; those twenty-two light sources were someone else's skill.
"Are you still waiting, brother?" Yang Shanhe asked again.
Yang Wanli: "... Wait!"
You have to finish the act, even if it's fraught with tears.
But when the boss's health reached 10,000, a burst of intense flames rose from the center of the abandoned plaza, a scene that some Player found somewhat familiar.
Then the World Boss's 10,000 HP disappeared out of thin air.
"System notification: Congratulations to Player Thousand King for achieving the first kill of World Boss Spider Demon Hill. Player Thousand King has received 5000 event points."
The explosions and system notifications brought back vivid memories for most people of their first World Boss battle.
"So it was him, the Thousand King... No wonder he seemed so familiar," Yang Wanli murmured.
"Are you still waiting, brother?" Yang Shanhe asked again, but this time he was met with his brother's electric cannon kick (punches and kicks).
"I told you to ask! I called you 'brother'! Are you ever going to shut up?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Wanli Mingyue exclaimed, "The President and his younger brother have such a wonderful relationship!"
Members of the Ten Thousand Miles Guild: "..."
How did you figure that out?
After the flames from the explosion subsided, the Poison Mist also disappeared, and people were finally able to see the situation inside the battlefield.
The abandoned factory has now become a charred, abandoned pit. Hill's body is slowly dissipating within the pit, but Wang Qianduo has vanished.
After his body completely disappeared, the factory area shone brightly, and a factory exactly the same as the one at the start of the battle appeared there, waiting for Hill's next respawn.
"When did you come out?" Lin Qimeng and the others asked Wang Qianduo had appeared out of nowhere.
"We ran out while they were all watching the explosion inside. Let's go, there's nothing more to see here!" Wang Qianduo said.
"Old Wang, what's the rush?" Sister Cat asked from the side.
"Sister Cat! It's been so long! Miracle, Cloud, what are you three doing together again?"
Wang Qianduo hadn't noticed Sister Cat, Sword of Miracles, and Song in the Clouds while he was speaking; he only noticed them after hearing Sister Cat speak.
It had been a long time since they had seen each other; they hadn't seen each other even once since the group disbanded.
Although we still chat occasionally, the relationship is visibly fading.
"Didn't we come here to find you?" Sister Cat said.
"Shall we go back to the city and talk about it here? I have a feeling it might get chaotic here soon," Wang Qianduo said, looking around.
"Good!"
Everyone knew he was telling the truth, because the boss was now down, and it was time for the Player to leave.
Imagine what it would be like to see so many people leaving. If you can't imagine it, just look at the train stations in first-tier cities during the Spring Festival travel rush, or popular tourist attractions during the holidays.
What's even more frightening is that most of these people are heading in the same direction, making the congestion so severe it makes you question the meaning of life.
That was the case, but fortunately Wang Qianduo and his team acted quickly enough.
