Summoning Conditions

Xiao Fan noticed that after the main monster summoned minions, a 5-second countdown started above his head again.

In other words, the main monster will summon a smaller monster every five seconds.

As Xiao Fan pondered, the five-second countdown ended once again.

This time, the main monster summoned a "Powerhouse" one.

"It seems the types of minions the main monster summons are random each time."

As Xiao Fan was pondering this, he heard the fat man's cries for help coming from not far away.

"Brother Chen, help me!"

Xiao Fan quickly snapped out of his thoughts and realized that the fat man had already rushed in front of the main monster and pulled the BOSS's aggro.

On the other side, the off- Zai Zai has pulled aggro from four, no, now it's five small mobs with "Powerhouse".

Finally, Han the Person had Profession, summoned a giant Toad to draw the aggro of the little monster "Fearless Demon".

As for the small monsters, they are "Undying" with their abnormally high health, so they have almost no damage output and nobody bothers with them; they can attack whomever they want.

Everyone else is focusing all their efforts on attacking the BOSS.

This was the only way Qin Muyu and his team could think of to prevent the main monster from summoning minions.

Defeat the BOSS first.

If the boss stays alive, there will be a constant stream of minions, which is simply not good.

Xiao Fan activated the skill <Gift of the Saint> towards the main group, giving the team a continuous healing effect.

However, he was not optimistic about Qin Muyu and his group's approach.

Putting everything else aside, the BOSS has 120,000 HP. Even if he were to unleash his full power, it would take him several minutes, not to mention the team's current damage output.

By the time Qin Muyu and his team defeat the BOSS, the platform will probably be crushed by the endless stream of monsters.

While Xiao Fan was thinking, the BOSS summoned two more "Powerhouse" minions.

The platform originally had 12 monsters, but now there are 16.

"Powerhouse" has now become six.

The Zai Zai was clearly unable to withstand the damage from the six "Powerhouse" ones, and his health had already dropped to half. Xiao Fan quickly healed him.

Then I realized that things weren't going well for the fat guy either.

This boss not only has high health, but also high damage.

This secret realm is indeed difficult to conquer.

Xiao Fan now understands why so many teams have been playing for almost ten days and their progress in clearing the dungeon is still zero.

"The key to defeating this boss normally is finding a way to prevent the main boss from summoning minions."

With this in mind, Xiao Fan kept an eye on the team's health bar while observing everything on the platform, looking for any clues he might have missed.

"Brother Chen? I can't take it anymore! I can't hold on much longer."

The Zai Zai was being chased and screamed loudly.

The "Powerhouse" monsters are difficult to kite. As long as the player is a little far away, they will break aggro and attack other players. The Zai Zai can only run in circles to attract aggro, and it will get hit if you are not careful.

Not to mention there are now six monsters.

Needless to say, Han the Person's giant Toad has a lot of health, but it's very slow and can only be chased and attacked by the small monster "Fearless Demon". Now its health is also low.

Everyone knew Xiao Fan was analyzing the boss, and no one urged him to stop. But as the number of smaller monsters increased, they really couldn't hold on any longer.

Another day of getting beaten up and humiliated.

If Xiao Fan hadn't remained silent, they would have jumped off the platform long ago to drag this BOSS away.

Xiao Fan summoned Big Iron Pot, allowing everyone to drink to restore their health and mana, while he himself became even more anxious.

How could there not be?

Xiao Fan was sweating profusely with anxiety. He observed the situation several times, but there were no prompts before or after the BOSS summoned the minions, leaving him unsure of the conditions for summoning them.

"Brother Chen, have you thought of a solution? We can't go on like this."

The fat man felt he couldn't hold on any longer and could only shout at Xiao Fan, "..."

"Wait a minute... just a minute!"

Xiao Fan's gaze swept over each of the bosses and minions on the platform.

"No! How could there be no notification at all?"

On the platform, the Zai Zai was being chased by eight "Powerhouse" monsters, which was his limit. He dared not stop to drink; if he did, he would be immediately surrounded and killed by the monsters.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan didn't have time to think and immediately unleashed his attack skills on the monsters chasing the Zai Zai.

After Xiao Fan acquired the Golden Talent, his intelligence points were approaching 400.

What does this mean? It's an attribute that players who haven't changed jobs can only obtain after reaching almost level 400.

With that combo of skills, the two main targets were instantly killed, and the remaining six were reduced to a sliver of health.

"Holy crap, is this some kind of live-action cannon?"

The Zai Zai's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this.

That was a monster with 10,000 HP? It was killed in an instant like that?

Brother Chen, you've gone a bit too far with this treatment!

Xiao Fan was also satisfied with the damage he had caused himself.

"Does this boss require players with area-of-effect skills to constantly clear out the mobs?"

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Fan felt it was impossible.

Currently, besides him, the top-ranked player on the Combat Power Leaderboard, who else can clear out mobs with a single skill?

This secret realm couldn't have been designed just for him, could it?

If it were just about defeating a single boss, Xiao Fan had many ways to do it. But what he wanted wasn't simply to rely on skills to defeat the boss, but to find the right method to do so.

Just as Xiao Fan finished thinking, the five-second countdown above his head ended.

Just when everyone thought the BOSS was about to summon another monster, the BOSS did not summon any.

The countdown above their heads also changed from five seconds to ten seconds.

What's going on? Why isn't the boss summoning minions anymore?

Everyone was taken aback.

Xiao Fan instantly understood the mechanism by which the BOSS summoned minions.

Once the countdown above your head ends, the BOSS will not summon any more minions as long as any minions die.

In rounds where you don't summon minions, the countdown timer above your head will increase by five seconds or double.

"Brother Chen, why isn't this boss summoning any minions?"

Garfield Without Fat.

Upon hearing this, everyone else also looked at Xiao Fan.

They were fighting the boss and had no idea what was happening.

Xiao Fan shared his guess with everyone.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the ten-second countdown above his head showed only one second remaining. Xiao Fan immediately killed a small monster that was left with only a sliver of health.

The countdown ended, and as expected, the BOSS did not summon again, while the countdown above the BOSS's head changed to 15 seconds.

Xiao Fan's guess was proven correct.

"So that's how it is." Qin Muyu.

Actually, when they first went up to the platform, they planned to clear out the smaller monsters first.

But after only a couple of hits, the BOSS summoned two minions.

Everyone instinctively focused their attacks on the main monster to prevent it from summoning more.

To be honest, this summoning mechanism is really hard for players to discover without any hints from the instance.

After all, the BOSS summons minions too quickly, leaving players no time to react.

If Xiao Fan hadn't wanted to clear out the monsters to relieve stress for his Zai Zai, he wouldn't have thought of it so quickly.

Once you understand this boss's summoning mechanics, the subsequent command becomes very simple.
