Clearance Record!
The assassins on the ship also have buffs.
[Grego's Night Veil: Increases Life Value by 100, stealth priority by 1, and reduces the distance at which you can be detected.]
Even without this enhanced stealth effect, Bai Xiaowen could easily spot these Elite Tier pirate assassins without needing to narrow down his scan range.
Now that it was confirmed that the last ship was led by an assassin-type Boss Tier, Bai Xiaowen held nothing back, summoning all his summoned creatures (except for a certain doctor) and beginning a sweeping attack.
Originally, we planned to keep one Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier and Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier will be more convenient when ganging up on agile Boss Tier.
The assassins on this last ship were still quite formidable.
These Elite Tier pirate assassins are not very powerful, but they all have a skill called "Blind," which causes the target to be temporarily blinded and unable to see.
Bai Xiaowen couldn't help but complain, "The Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier doesn't even have eyes! Two pitch-black eye holes, and you can still Blind!"
It's easy to imagine that if it were another class, such as the tank-type class Ling Feng, they would definitely have a hard time passing this level unless they had a special item that could remove the Blind.
However, this was useless for Bai Xiaowen, as he could share vision with his summoned creatures. If a summoned creature was Blind, it wouldn't affect Bai Xiaowen's commands; even if Bai Xiaowen himself was Blind, he could switch to the summoned creatures' vision and continue commanding...
Of course, it wouldn't be so easy for these pirate assassins to get close to Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen pushed forward smoothly and soon arrived at the bow of the ship, where he saw Captain Grego.
[Grego (Level 4 Boss Tier) / Grego's Shroud]
[Race: Human Species / Human Race]
[Class: Shadow Demon Assassin]
[Attributes: Strength 22, Agility 40, Constitution 19, Spirit 14]
[Skills: Wind Walk, Shadow Cloak, Backstab,???]
The buff [Grego's Shroud] not only grants an additional 200 Life Value, but also reduces the BOSS's "detectability distance" by 90% while in stealth mode!
What does this mean? It's like the boss is standing right in front of you, face to face, about to pull out a knife and kill you, but you still can't see it...
The [Shadow Cloak] skill can significantly reduce the opponent's armor. [Wind Walk] is an invisibility skill, and the first hit after breaking invisibility deals double damage! As for [Backstab], it will always be Critical Hit and cause bleeding when attacking from behind...
"The night accompanies my slaughter..."
After BOSS Grego shouted that line and activated Wind Walk to become invisible, Bai Xiaowen felt a chill. Just the three skills detected were enough to be deadly when combined. One Vital Strike would be enough to send Bai Xiaowen to his death... no, he would be lying on the ground waiting to be resurrected.
Bai Xiaowen quickly ordered four Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier to surround him for protection, while simultaneously sending out summoned creatures such as Rageclaw, Fatty, Shadow Assassin, Kitz, and Skeleton Mage to patrol the area, hoping to get lucky and perhaps bump the BOSS out...
Unfortunately, Bai Xiaowen's Mental Scan has a basic priority of 4 points, while the BOSS's Wind Walk has a stealth priority of more than 4 points.
"Sigh... If only I knew a spell with wide-area damage. I could just unleash a Blizzard on the bow of the ship, and I bet the boss wouldn't come out..." Bai Xiaowen muttered to himself.
Although the ship is large, the bow only has a space of about 20 to 30 square meters.
Actually, Bai Xiaowen had another option: to spend 10,000 Psionic Points to use the Orochi Nagi...
However, this is too wasteful! Although Bai Xiaowen is making a fortune every day, he can't afford to be so extravagant.
Bai Xiaowen had a sudden inspiration—after acquiring Super Brain, the phrase "sudden inspiration" became increasingly distant from Bai Xiaowen —since the bow of the ship was so small and he had so many summoned creatures, why not pull off a crazy maneuver!
On the left side of the bow, the summoned creatures lined up, then held hands, like a fishing net, sweeping across the entire bow and moving towards the right side...
Except for Rageclaw, who couldn't hold hands and could only stand next to Bai Xiaowen, the rest of the undead creatures walked forward hand in hand, the whole scene filled with warmth and affection...
Under the power of this genuine human flesh search, the BOSS was finally forced to reveal himself. Even more tragically, he was forced to show up only after being squeezed into a corner, where he was immediately surrounded by onlookers.
The outcome was obvious. Even with the buff that added 200 Life Value, Grego was still just a squishy boss with a little over 300 health and only 18 armor points... Under the siege of summoned creatures, he was more like a lump of minced meat being hacked to pieces...
Boom! Grego fell.
A mechanical notification sounded, "You have cleared the first level of the Trial Space dungeon, Pirate's Nest, Extreme Difficulty, in 31 minutes and 8 seconds."
"Based on your completion time, you have received an additional treasure chest reward. Total number of treasure chests: 3."
Your achievements will be recorded on the leaderboard as Inspire to those who follow. Keep up the good work!
The moment Bai Xiaowen passed through the checkpoint, the rest area erupted in a cacophony of noise and excitement.
"Holy crap, my admiration for Lao Bai is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks!" Chen Guowei exclaimed, clicking his tongue.
"Quick, look at the time! How many minutes?"
"Just 31 minutes!"
"They moved the record forward by 15 minutes! That's insane!"
Xiang Hui: "A monster with defensive capabilities exceeding that of a main tank, output exceeding that of a DPS, and an outrageously large number of control skills... I wouldn't be surprised by any insane results it achieves. The rankings in the Trial Space are about to be completely wiped out."
Everyone went to the second basement level, to wait for Bai Xiaowen at the entrance to the Trial Space. Meanwhile, the leaderboard on the first floor had Transformation on the control panel screen.
First place: Bai Xiaowen, Class of '96, 31 minutes and 08 seconds, extremely difficult.
Compared to Ling Feng, who was relegated to second place with a time of 46 minutes and 39 seconds... tsk tsk, it's hard to compare, hard to compare.
With a flash of light, Bai Xiaowen stepped out of the "door".
The crowd gathered around, offering their congratulations.
"What did I get from the treasure chest? I can't see the item's attributes on the big screen," Chen Guowei asked curiously.
"If it's inconvenient, then there's no need to say it," Xiang Hui added.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. It's just a Spirit Realm Ticket, which looks like it's D-Tier. As for the other two treasure chests, one contained 3000 Psionic Points, and the other contained a scroll."
[Arcane Nova Scroll: A-Tier item. Instantly channels an arcane explosion centered on the user, dealing arcane damage to all enemies within 10 meters and knocking them away. Requires Advanced Meditation Rank 5.]
"The rewards aren't that high. I thought the highest difficulty would drop Gold Equipment," Chen Guowei said.
"It's just the first level, how could that be?" Bai Xiaowen shook his head and laughed. "However, the combat experience is truly abundant... My combat experience bar is already full."
