Clear the Dungeon
While Ping Shen and Wang Qianduo were chasing and fleeing, the people on the platform finally succeeded in removing one of the arms of the Deep-Sea Mech.
This single crippling blow instantly reduced the Deep-Sea Mech's health by about one-fifth.
The Deep-Sea Mech, its arm severed, slowly disappeared into the water, completely ignoring the attacks and Taunt from the crowd.
"It looks like he's about to enter the second stage, everyone be careful!" Sister Hua said to everyone.
This complete disregard for the attacks from the crowd clearly indicates that the boss is switching states.
The Deep-Sea Mech didn't keep everyone waiting long. Ten seconds later, it switched forms and rose from the sea again, its cannon barrel already positioned in front of it.
The next moment, a high-pressure stream of water shot out from his cannon, and Lin Qimeng and the others immediately took flight, dodging the attack that was powerful enough to shatter them.
The Black Shark Pirates' sea camp was almost completely destroyed in this attack, leaving only a steel platform.
After the Deep-Sea Mech's attack, the water cannon entered a charging phase, and the group landed on the platform to resume their attacks.
This Mecha doesn't seem to be piloted by a human; all its actions follow a strict routine.
After his water cannon skill cooled down, he once again used his remaining arm to attack the group.
Then, the mentally challenged man was once again subdued and beaten by the crowd. After pulling his arm back, he continued to attack the crowd with a water cannon, and this process was repeated.
This rhythmic attack continued until his other arm was severed and his health dropped to 1/5.
The alarm bells on the weakened Deep-Sea Mech blared, and then the sea began to boil beneath the surface as one after another, deep blue Mecha flew into the sky.
There were exactly 300 Mecha, not one more and not one less, and their flight through the sky created a feeling of blotting out the sun.
"Holy crap! Were all three hundred Mecha summoned at once? No wonder the boss fight was so easy up front; it turns out this was what was going on!" Song in the Clouds exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.
"Old Wang! Help!" Old Ma was even more decisive, directly choosing to summon Wang Qianduo.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qianduo knew the time had come. He used Arcane Translocation to temporarily shake off Ping Shen, who was relentlessly pursuing him, and arrived above the battlefield where Lin Qimeng and the others were fighting.
Then twenty-two photon energy spheres began to appear out of thin air, and countless rays of light began to bombard the area where the Deep-Sea Mech and the elite Mecha he had summoned were located.
Wang Qianduo, who had just released the Photon Ray, didn't have the energy to observe the effects of his skill, because Ping Shen had already caught up with him on the waves.
After a period of hard work, he has now completely shaken off the negative influence of Wang Qianduo.
Ping Shen brandished his sharp blade, relentlessly pursuing Wang Qianduo.
Although Wang Qianduo was the one being chased, his health was at full, while Ping Shen's health had already dropped by one-third.
He whittled down those 100,000 lives bit by bit with the help of Wang Qianduo's drugs. Without those drugs, with Old Wang's skills, he would have been killed countless times over.
The Photon Ray was still powerful; after this skill was used, all the Mecha on the battlefield of the Deep-Sea Mech, except for a few that escaped, were wiped out.
After Lin Qimeng and the others had dealt with the remaining fugitives, they immediately messaged Old Wang, saying, "We've completely resolved this situation; let's win it back!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qianduo began to flee towards the platform, while Ping Shen continued to summon water energy sharks to attack him from behind.
"Old Wang, lead him to the platform!"
"Let's continue with our previous strategy and keep him on the platform," Sister Hua said in the team chat after seeing this situation.
After everyone acknowledged that they had received the message, Wang Qianduo landed on the platform, and Ping Shen followed suit.
The moment he landed, the group immediately resorted to their old trick: Flame Thorn bloomed beneath his feet, attempting to bind him there.
But Ping Shen was different from the clumsy Deep-Sea Mech. He wielded his alloy blade at lightning speed, cutting through all the Flame Thorn.
Then he caught the heavy hammer that Yu Xiaoyu swung at him with one hand and dodged Yu Xiaoxin's piercing spear.
With a swift movement, he sent the two sisters flying, his action incredibly graceful.
Then he casually deflected the Night Owl's slime bottle into the sea, stylishly walking towards the Night Owl who kept throwing things at him while deflecting the slime.
But just as he was showing off, Night Owl threw a metal ball at him from his backpack.
He instinctively used his knife to try and block the ball from falling into the sea, but the ball exploded the moment he touched it.
The intense electric current emanating from the metal sphere paralyzed him in place.
Obsessed with showing off, he was tricked by Night Owl.
Of course, no one would miss such an opportunity. Various Control Skill were instantly applied again, and Lin Qimeng and Xiao Hai also began to move forward to deal damage.
Wang Qianduo stood at a distance, his Arcane Orb once more. Ping Shen's health began to plummet. The difference between having teammates and not having them was truly remarkable.
"You bunch of ants!"
Ping Shen, who was being controlled by the crowd, suddenly shouted and unleashed his Water Element- based Magic Energy Burst, knocking everyone back.
Lin Qimeng and Xiao Hai, who were very close to him, were instantly reduced to critically injured, while the others in the distance, except for Wang Qianduo, were also not in good condition.
Perhaps because he couldn't bear the humiliation, he activated the Rampage skill, which was exclusive to bosses, even when he still had half health left.
Although Ping Shen had severely injured everyone, he did not press his advantage.
Instead, he leaped into the air, wielding his sword in one hand and slashing it at the platform below, at which point the winds and clouds in the sea changed.
A Razor Shark, larger than a mountain, leaped from the sea, its enormous mouth, bigger than the entire platform, lunging to devour the group.
This is clearly a finishing move, and most importantly, none of them can dodge it.
Just when everyone had given up hope, they suddenly heard an extremely cringeworthy line:
"Glacial Sword of the Icy Blade!"
Then they looked up at the sound and discovered that a Magic Array had appeared behind Wang Qianduo at some point.
A magnificent greatsword, entirely formed from solidified ice, appeared above his head.
With a flick of his finger to the sky, the sword shot out, piercing through the giant shark and striking Ping Shen in the sky.
Weak Point Critical Hit -20700, Freeze for 1 second, Armor Break, Slow, Fragile...
The immense damage rendered everyone speechless, and the giant shark that had been lunging at them turned into ice and fell to the ground without any power.
"Old Wang! What kind of skill is that now?"
"Another Hidden Quest reward?"
"That's right!" Wang Qianduo replied, and this time he wasn't lying.
Everyone: "..."
Whether people believe it or not, that's not the important thing right now; they still have a formidable enemy to deal with.
The Razor-Toothed Shark, Freeze and crashed onto the platform, quickly took to the air.
Then, as if he had lost his mind, he suddenly Ambush Wang Qianduo. Actually, it wasn't just "as if," he really had lost his mind.
This is the price of Rampage; there is no power gained without a cost.
This time, Wang Qianduo did not dodge; he took the blow head-on.
This strike not only shattered his Arcane Shield, but also broke the shield that was passively triggered.
However, Wang Qianduo successfully stopped him, and then Old Wang activated Phoenix Mode and Mana Burst that restored health and mana, pinning him to the spot.
Seeing this, Lin Qimeng and the others didn't care whether they were low on health or not, and rushed forward to start attacking.
The Rampage mode is truly a double-edged sword. Old Wang's Mana Burst successfully dragged out his Rampage mode, Fang Shark Mecha, with its attributes reduced by half, was powerless to turn the tide.
Enabling an AI mode for bosses sometimes has this effect: bosses that don't follow the expected path can be extremely powerful at times, but can also become quite silly at others.
But actually, Ping Shen can't really be considered a goofball. In his view, even if he doesn't activate his Rampage, he's still going to die slowly, so he might as well activate it and gamble on a Future.
It's just a matter of the victor taking all the credit; he simply failed.
But who could have imagined that the person on the other side would be so freakish, able to withstand his Rampage mode burst with his bare hands and then still manage to pin him down and beat him up.
All I can say is that Old Wang, going all out, was truly monstrous; his death was not unjust.
As Old Wang plunged his knife into his Energy Core, taking away his last bit of strength, Ping Shen, who looked like Shark Chili, Ping Shen knelt down.
"System notification: Congratulations on your glorious victory! The Wave Star Black Shark Pirates has been completely quelled. You have gained 30,000 experience points!"
As the system notification sounded, Ping Shen disappeared from everyone's sight, replaced by a huge treasure chest and a blue Orb.
Just as everyone had guessed, this place was indeed a Hidden Story Mode Dungeon.
