Hu Die Lan
Chapter 880 Chief of the Stockade, Yin Shanhubo
Compared to the hulking, almost alien-like Boss that was the Man-Bear, the final Boss of Mount Seal, the Mount Seal Bandit Lord, Mount Seal Tiger, looked rather ordinary.
In the eyes of the players, so-called ordinary meant that his appearance was similar to a player's. If he were thrown into a main city street, he might be mistaken for a player.
But just as the group was approaching the Mount Seal Hall step by step, the Mount Seal Tiger, who was originally sitting on the tall tiger skin-covered seat in the middle of the hall, suddenly stood up.
It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
Were they going to fight the Boss directly?
Having experienced the ambush and the combined forces of Bosses Three and Four, everyone was expecting some kind of pre-battle sequence when facing the final Boss. Because if there wasn't one, it meant that this Boss's strength would be extremely high. So strong that dealing with him alone would be more difficult than clearing the ambushes and defeating the Cold Eagle and Man-Bear alliance.
Pioneering players only wanted to clear the game safely and simply. They didn't think about challenging themselves or conquering more difficult battles. So at this moment, no one hoped that this Mount Seal Tiger would be powerful. They would be ecstatic if he was as easy to deal with as a small monster.
Unfortunately, this would never happen. In a dungeon, the difficulty of the Bosses might not necessarily be progressive. It was possible that Boss Two was more difficult than Boss Three, and Boss Three was more difficult than Boss Four. But the final Boss would still have the presence of a final Boss. The difficulty would be the highest in the dungeon, and some might even be more powerful than the hidden Boss.
No matter how ordinary the Mount Seal Tiger looked, Ye Xiu and the others would never dare to underestimate his strength.
As soon as they entered the central stronghold's square, everyone had already been looking around at the environment to familiarize themselves with the terrain. This was the preparation work before the battle. Then, as they approached the Mount Seal Hall step by step, the final Boss was finally alarmed.
"Everyone, retreat."
As usual, Lord Grim stayed behind alone, and the others retreated first.
Mount Seal Tiger's pace was not hurried at all. He walked out of the hall slowly. Ye Xiu did not act rashly either. His initial goal was to figure out the Boss's fighting style. There was no need to attack first.
Mount Seal Tiger's hands were empty, and he carried no weapon. His attire was not any job set that everyone could recognize. The Boss's class could not be determined for the time being.
However, the Boss was still going to make a move eventually.
Standing on the stone steps outside the Mount Seal Hall, he was only 18 steps away from Lord Grim. Mount Seal Tiger glanced at Lord Grim in the square and raised his hand.
No matter what it was, Ye Xiu quickly had Lord Grim dodge to the side.
What came out was not a skill, but people.
The originally empty square suddenly had four guys popping out from nowhere. Whether the designers were trying to save effort or not, the names above these four guys' heads were particularly simple: A, B, C, D.
As soon as the four of them appeared, they immediately rushed towards Lord Grim without stopping. During the process, the four of them revealed their weapons.
Lightsaber, revolver, gauntlets, dagger.
Four people, four job classes, and judging from their weapons, they were all classes with particularly strong offensive capabilities. Were these four people the four great assassins under the command of the Mount Seal Bandit Lord, Mount Seal Tiger?
Thinking about the character backgrounds of NPCs was not Ye Xiu's hobby. No matter what your background was, defeating you was a must. The A, B, C, D group came up very quickly. Among them, B, who was holding the revolver, was naturally the first to launch an attack.
Gunshots rang out continuously, and Lord Grim weaved to dodge. A, the swordsman carrying a lightsaber, used "Wind Slash", drawing a line across. The speed was naturally much slower than that of the berserk Ji Wolf. Lord Grim dodged to the side. But with this skill, Swordsman A had already closed in on Lord Grim's side, and sword moves followed.
Boom!
A cannonball exploded between the two. Lord Grim remained motionless, but Swordsman A was hit by the blast and was blown back several steps.
Wu Chen's Dawn Rifle took the lead, followed by Chen Guo's Chasing Haze, who also fired a barrage of Gatling guns.
Although they didn't look like ordinary monsters, they weren't quite Boss level either. So in the eyes of the players of Happy, there was no need for Ye Xiu to test the waters with these four guys. As soon as they started fighting, they simply swarmed up together.
Dawn Rifle and Chasing Haze's attacks were just the prelude. Then, Windward Formation's Six-Star Light Prison fell, and C, the brawler who looked like he could kill an elephant with one punch, was immediately sealed by the Six-Star Light Prison. D, who was holding a dagger, was an assassin, and his movement speed was quite fast, so fast that it seemed like he couldn't control himself. As a result, he ran right into a brick that was flying towards him. Then Soft Mist's Fierce Dragon Breaks the Army charged over. The powerful impact sent the assassin D flying into the stone lion in the middle of the square.
Gunner B, who was shooting from a distance and did not charge up, was now being tightly bitten by Mei Guang's summoned beasts. With the team's protection, Luo Ji had no other worries. He was very solid when focusing on controlling the four summoned beasts. Gunner B was fighting four enemies at once and had no time to deal with the others.
Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash was the last to make a move. After everyone had basically found a target to attack, his ghost array fell at the right time, providing assistance to everyone.
Did the Mount Seal Tiger's Four Great Assassins have some special coordination formation?
Unknown!
Because the crowd swarmed up, they directly cut off the connection between these four great assassins. In Happy's team, there were too many people who could stand alone, and everyone had the ability to grab a target and become an output-type MT.
"Good! Fight like this!" Ye Xiu found that the current situation was good, so he told everyone to maintain it. He wasn't bored enough to deliberately let go and see if these four great assassins had any other tricks.
So Ye Xiu's Lord Grim fought Swordsman A one-on-one, and the two Gunners, Dawn Rifle and Chasing Haze, provided fire support.
Wei Chen's Windward Formation was toying with Brawler C. The Brawler class was definitely the lowest in terms of attack range among the 24 classes. When he encountered Wei Chen, whose spellcasting distance would scare anyone in Glory, the result was that he was thoroughly played with.
Assassin D, single-handedly challenging Soft Mist and Steamed Bun Invasion, was blatantly committing murder.
Then there was Mei Guang. Many people were fighting three or two against one, but he was actually holding off Gunner B by himself. He was surprised and delighted, and he didn't dare to be negligent, carefully operating. Apart from that, there was One Inch Ash and Little Cold Hands, assisting and healing, and adding a hand wherever they were needed.
The division of labor was clear and precise. The four great assassins were completely separated and no longer a whole. But Happy's team was not necessarily a whole either. They also had someone who was wandering outside, naturally Mo Fan's Deception.
This guy was like a headless fly now, without a clear target. He would fight this one for a while, and kill that one for a while. He looked like a firefighter. But how effective was his firefighting compared to One Inch Ash and Little Cold Hands? His current actions were like, having him didn't add much, not having him didn't subtract much.
Soon, Swordsman A was the first to be unable to hold on. He was in a situation of one against three, and with a super expert like Ye Xiu, it was needless to say how tragic the scene was. When his health was almost at 10%, Ye Xiu was more careful, afraid that this guy, who was either an elite or a small Boss, would go berserk, so he restrained himself a little. As a result, when Swordsman A reached red health, everything was the same as before. Obviously, he did not have the berserk attribute. Soon, Swordsman A fell. Ye Xiu's three characters switched targets together, and were about to find a target to support when Mount Seal Tiger, who had been standing on the stone steps, raised his hand again. Suddenly, another Swordsman A rushed out, exactly the same as the previous one.
"Damn, this guy is a Summoner!!" Ye Xiu was a little dumbfounded. They really thought this was some kind of pre-battle sequence before facing the Boss. Who would have thought that they were already fighting Mount Seal Tiger? These A, B, C, Ds were actually Mount Seal Tiger's summoned beasts.
In this way, it was obviously very unwise to deal with these four guys. No matter how many summoned beasts died, they would not be able to hurt the summoner's foundation. Although summoning again and again would constantly consume mana, this was a Boss. Players didn't have to worry about the Boss's mana burden. Their mana was usually as powerful as their life force.
Understanding this, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim immediately turned his gun. He was still thinking about not alarming the big Boss when playing the pre-battle sequence. Now that he saw the essence of it, not alarming the Boss would be a waste of time.
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet flew out. As a result, the Swordsman A who had just been summoned rushed to Mount Seal Tiger's side and helped him block the shot.
"Meddling!" Chen Guo scolded Swordsman A loudly and directly dropped a satellite beam on the ground.
Mount Seal Tiger, who had been standing on the stone steps and was particularly proud, finally moved. Satellite beams were not attacks that could be blocked by the body. No matter how loyal the summoned beasts were, it was useless.
As soon as Mount Seal Tiger moved, he disappeared. When he reappeared, he was ten body lengths away.
"He can teleport!" Everyone saw and had a headache. The Summoner class had no ability to attack or defend on their own. They relied on summoned beasts to protect them, which was cumbersome and passive. Therefore, the Summoner class had particularly high requirements for positioning. On the one hand, you had to prevent the opponent from catching you, and on the other hand, you had to command your Summoners to attack the opponent. That was why the Summoner class was so complicated to operate that no Summoner player had ever entered the All-Star list.
To position yourself, the faster the movement speed, the more advantageous it was. But what was faster than instantaneous movement? Fortunately, this class was not of the Summoner type, and Summoners could not learn it through normal channels. However, self-made weapons could have skills, right? Therefore, in the pro circle, adding an Instantaneous Movement skill to a Summoner's weapon was an undisputed matter. Having such a skill would definitely be like adding wings to a tiger for a Summoner.
And now, the designer probably saw the style of this Summoner and designed a Summoner Boss who also played this trick. The Boss's skill system was not necessarily the same as the player's character. What if this Boss's Instantaneous Movement cooldown was particularly short? That would really be a big trouble!
