We Can't Activate the Barrier

01:02:34

Only one hour left in the countdown.

There are only about 40 level 140 monsters Nether Doll, and two Nether Doll BOSSes left on the field.

The Nether Doll BOSS has only one mechanic.

Unlike other bosses that trigger when a certain health threshold is reached, this mechanism appears randomly.

Xiao Fan frowned as he looked at the two Nether Doll on the field, and immediately gave instructions.

Focus all fire on the right-hand boss.

The Nether Doll boss's mechanic is dancing.

It will dance for fifteen seconds at random intervals, and after it finishes dancing, it will face one of the four directions (north, south, east, or west) randomly.

At this point, any player facing a different direction will be controlled for 15 seconds, during which they will attack other players.

If the controlled player is not Purification after 15 seconds, the control will turn into fear. At this time, all the monsters in the area will release ranged skills to attack the feared players.

That's extremely perverted.

This skill also marked the first time Xiao Fan was controlled by the BOSS in this Dungeon.

Previously, when they were playing the tenth level, there was only one Nether Doll BOSS on the field.

The boss danced twice. The first time, they were lucky; after the Nether Doll finished its dance, it turned its back to them, meaning it was facing the same direction as them.

At the time, no one knew about this mechanism. After seeing the Nether Doll BOSS dance and nothing happened, they thought the dancing was just a routine action of the BOSS.

But Xiao Fan felt that the BOSS's back-to-the-face posture was a bit off.

Just in case, he had Ye Bugu lead a small team to stand facing four different directions.

At the time, the team members didn't understand.

Especially for the players facing away from each other, it's understandable if they're facing left or right, but what's with facing them backwards?

Are you looking at the Gold Fist Player behind them? Wouldn't it be better if they just stood at the very back of the players?

Unlike now, where you're face-to-face with the players behind you, staring at each other, it's a bit awkward.

Just then, the BOSS started dancing again.

Xiao Fan kept his eyes fixed on the BOSS, calculating the BOSS's dance time and observing its dance movements.

Fifteen seconds later, the BOSS dance ended.

They were unlucky this time; the boss was facing the entire group, meaning that everyone except the players facing backwards was not facing the boss.

In an instant, everyone except those few players was controlled and began attacking the surrounding players.

Ye Bugu was originally facing forward, but when he heard the players facing behind him muttering, he wanted to turn around and sternly reprimand them.

As soon as they turned around, all the players started attacking their own teammates.

Ye Bugu and several other players who weren't under control were nearly scared to death when they witnessed this scene!

Ye Bugu subconsciously turned to look at Xiao Fan, only to see that Xiao Fan was also attacking the surrounding players.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately gave Xiao Fan the Heart-Clearing Mantra.

After being Purification, Xiao Fan immediately understood what had happened upon seeing this situation.

"Quick! Purification the Gold Book Player first."

After the Gold Book Player had been Purification, they began to work together to Purification other players.

Within 15 seconds, most players were Purification, while a small number of players who were transformed into fear were attacked by ranged monsters.

Fortunately, the Gold Pen Player provided timely support, preventing any deaths.

After everyone realized what had happened, they broke out in a cold sweat.

That's too dangerous! That's too insidious!

Who would have thought of that!

Only they, as the commanders, could think of so many things.

If it weren't for the commander's advance planning, this wave would have resulted in a total wipeout!

Therefore, the mechanics of the Nether Doll BOSS mean that there can never be two Nether Doll BOSSes on the field.

"Everyone, focus solely on the right-hand boss! Kill it quickly," Xiao Fan ordered once more.

Just then, the Nether Doll that had been hit suddenly started dancing.

Xiao Fan immediately looked at the other BOSS.

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the other BOSS showed no intention of dancing.

Otherwise, if the two bosses dance together and end up facing different directions, they'll both die no matter which way they stand!

As soon as the BOSS started dancing, many people became nervous, fearing they wouldn't have time to turn around and face the boss.

"Go all out, and I'll remind you to turn around at the end."

When the BOSS's dance is almost over, its movements will slow down a bit. A second before the dance ends, its right hand will make a gesture in one direction, and that direction is the final face the BOSS turns to.

The BOSS's dance speed slowed down.

Xiao Fan instructed the Gold Seal Player to stop attacking and focus their attention on the direction the BOSS was gesturing with its right hand.

"Later!"

Xiao Fan roared, and everyone turned around just as the BOSS dance ended.

They are oriented in the same direction.

Xiao Fan reacted and gave instructions quickly, but there were still more than a dozen players who couldn't react in time and didn't turn around. However, they were quickly Purification by the Gold Book Player.

"Continue attacking the boss on the right."

This boss has less than 20% health left. As long as they kill it, there is no risk of a total wipeout.

"God help us, please don't let anything go wrong."

Xiao Fan was so nervous that he started to believe in superstitions.

The players attacked very quickly, and soon the boss on the right had only about nine percent of its health remaining.

But at that moment, the BOSS started dancing again.

Xiao Fan immediately looked at the other BOSS, which was still slowly approaching.

"As long as there's no dancing, it's fine."

Before Xiao Fan could even breathe a sigh of relief, the other BOSS started dancing as well, with a three-second interval between its dance and that of the BOSS on the right.

"Grass!"

Xiao Fan couldn't help but swear; the unexpected had still happened.

"Xiao Fan, open the barrier!"

Upon seeing this situation, Jian Qingfeng immediately spoke up.

This barrier is an invincibility skill that lasts for 20 seconds after activation. Players inside it will not be affected by any damage or control effects.

In this situation, activating the barrier is the most suitable option for them.

"No! We can't open the barrier!"

This barrier was left by Xiao Fan specifically, in case there was a big boss behind it.

There are only 40 monsters left on the field, not enough to fully recharge the barrier.

Xiao Fan would not open this barrier unless absolutely necessary.

"If we don't activate the barrier, and the two bosses are facing different directions, we'll all be controlled! We'll all die!" Jian Qingfeng rarely acted with such urgency.

The current situation is too urgent; there is no other way but to open the barrier.

"Cease the attack. Follow my orders."

Xiao Fan swallowed hard, his forehead covered in sweat from nervousness.

The two bosses danced three seconds apart, meaning their dances ended at different times.

There's still room for maneuver!

If they can turn to the correct positions within three seconds, they can pass this level.

Xiao Fan doesn't expect everyone to be able to switch to the right path. As long as a few Gold Book Player can switch, they will have a chance!

But once they use the barrier, they have no more trump cards left when facing the final boss.

Xiao Fan didn't like that feeling.

The other players felt no dissatisfaction seeing that Xiao Fan insisted on not using the barrier.

Xiao Fan has his reasons for doing this; they just need to believe him.

The boss on the right has slowed down his dance, and Xiao Fan is highly focused.

Finally, the BOSS made a gesture with his right hand in that direction.

A smile instantly appeared on Xiao Fan's face.

He really is Lucky One! This game is on his side!

The BOSS's right hand gesture was directed backwards, meaning it was facing the same direction as they were currently facing.

The first time they didn't need to turn!

"Don't move!"

As soon as Xiao Fan finished shouting, he looked at the second boss and saw it swipe its right hand to the left.

"To the left!"

Due to the tension, many players didn't make the right switch this time, but it was still within a controllable range.

After Purification the controlled player, the player quickly depleted the boss's health on the right.

With only one Nether Doll Boss remaining, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Next is the random match phase.

As the number of monsters on the field decreased, the smiles on the players' faces grew wider.

In their view, these were the last few monsters; once they were defeated, they could clear the Dungeon.

Xiao Fan felt that if he hadn't been there, they might have opened half a bottle of champagne.

Blue Star players who haven't experienced countless online games are still too naive.

Xiao Fan shook his head and remained silent, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

The Judge Young Master, who had been grinning with his teeth showing, immediately shut his mouth after seeing Xiao Fan's expression.

"A pro is a pro. Leading such a large group to a level 150 Dungeon without taking any damage and still not breaking a sweat, that mentality is something I should learn from."

The Judge Young Master now subconsciously imitates Xiao Fan in everything he does.

Soon, all the Spirit Body on the field were killed.

The players stood still, waiting for the system to announce that they had passed the level, and then hugged and celebrated.

Xiao Fan's soft voice drifted over.

"Prepare for battle."
