[Quadruple Jump] was a skill that came along with Wang Yu’s ability to fly. When the explosion occurred, Wang Yu did a triple jump, at the same time slicing through all the surrounding Eyeball Grass Bombs, finally leaping through the air once more and returned.
“Quadruple Jump?” Peak Of Perfection frowned and added, “You destroyed more than four of them.”
Wang Yu was a Pugilist and did not possess any Warrior skills. Thus, the most he could do was trigger one explosion for every leap that he took by right. Even someone who was capable of doing fourteen jumps would not be able to trigger so many bombs.
Wang Yu laughed and said, “Just poke a few more times and they would all explode.”
“Poke a few more times…” Peak Of Perfection was dumbstruck. Wang Yu had triggered more than 20 of the Eyeball Grass Bombs. Within the time span of three leaps, he had accurately stabbed more than 20 fist-sized Eyeball Grass Bombs. Ignoring the terrifying precision of such an execution, just looking at the speed of execution of the stabs was already shocking enough.
Just when Peak of Perfection was still recovering from his shock, Wang Yu jumped onto Ming Du’s head and said, “Old Li, stop hiding already. My ability to fly won’t be able to hold out for long.”
Ming Du angrily said, “If you can’t hold on for long then get down… why do you have to step on me!”
When Ming Du was shouting at him, his hands were busy. His left hand was shaped into a weird sign while his right was pointing to the ground. Soon after, everyone felt as if the temperature beneath them was rising, and shortly after, a sea of fire rose from beneath them.
The roots of the Elven Eye were extremely vulnerable to fire. After coming into contact with Ming Du’s flames, they were burnt to a crisp, allowing everyone who was rooted to regain their freedom.
At this moment, the third wave of Eyeball Grass was thrown at them.
Yang Nuo and Ling Longmeng each took one side, aiming at the incoming Eyeball Grass, before promptly firing a row of arrows at them, instantly triggering all of the Eyeball Grass, causing them to explode.
At the end of the day, a stationary boss was still a stationary boss. As cunning as its abilities were, this was the extent of it. Previously, it was because everyone was careless, that’s why they were caught up in its attacks. Upon regaining their freedom once more, Fearless immediately gave the command, “Melee fighters cover the top, Magicians watch out for any threat beneath us, Archers keep watch above us! Old Bull, protect Peak Of Perfection!”
Following Fearless’ command, Spring Halo swiftly summoned six Demons, situating them in front of the team, forming a defensive line.
Darknorth Fisher and Frost Blade activated [Haste] before dashing forward.
Boson, Crotch Lord and Vainglory promptly followed behind; the five of them surrounding the Elven Eye.
Seeing that it was surrounded, the Elven Eye activated both its Eyeball Bombs and roots to attack its attackers.
However, at this moment, both Yang Nuo and Ling Longmeng released a volley of arrows, triggering the bombs in midair…
At the same time, Ming Du’s flames rose even higher, burning away the roots wrapped around the five of them. Once more, the five of them escaped the restrictions.
After receiving the two waves of attacks from the BOSS, the five melee fighters were low on their HP. Upon seeing this, Fearless promptly cast a group healing spell. In a few seconds, everyone’s HP bar was back to full.
In this manner, the five, under the cover of the Archers, fearlessly stood in Ming Du’s flames and battled with the BOSS. Meanwhile at the back, Peak Of Perfection’s blood was boiling, and was craving for some action himself. Wang Yu, on the other hand, was sitting by the sides and watching all the action, at the same time commenting on how fighting bosses in this manner was too easy and did not require any skills…
Fire-type magic was extremely effective against plant-type monsters. Adding on the brainless damage output dished out by the five melee players, the 5,000,000 HP of the Elven Eye was certainly not enough to last.
A while later, the HP bar of the Elven Eye was left with only 30% of its original amount.
Seeing the BOSS’s HP dropping below 30%, Wang Yu reminded, “Be careful, the HP bar has turned red, do not let him escape!”
The moment Wang Yu just finished his sentence, the Elven Eye immediately retreated back into the ground.
“F*ck, why did you have to jinx it!” Everyone was dazed. After the fact had sunk in, they all turned around, pointing the middle finger at Wang Yu.
“Tsk, why are you guys blaming me? If you keep on staring at me, what if the BOSS emerge from beneath your feet?” Wang Yu pointed at the five people standing behind Fearless, cursing them.
After Wang Yu just finished his sentence, the ground beneath the five of them started to shake… the Elven Eye emerged from the ground behind Fearless. Shortly after, the BOSS released the bombs and its roots to attack the five of them at the back.
“D*mn it, Old Bull you cheap slut… everyone, hurry up and hide behind the Demons!”
Ming Du immediately cast a bunch of flames at the legs of the five people. The five of them ran and scolded Wang Yu at the same time, rushing to get behind Spring Halo’s Demons. Yang Nuo nocked her bow once more, firing at the Eyeball Grass Bombs flying towards the Demons, triggering their explosions. The huge shockwave from the explosion engulfed the Demons, however, the five of them received no damage and were merely blown away to the other five melee players at the front.
“F*ck…”
Seeing that his own toxic words almost killed his five teammates, Wang Yu immediately covered his mouth.
Peak Of Perfection was on the verge of kneeling down in front of Wang Yu. He cupped both his fists and eagerly asked Wang Yu, “How the h*ll did you do it? Teach me!”
“Stay further away, stay further away…” Wang Yu, who was blushing, dragged Peak Of Perfection and retreated backwards a few steps. Soon after, a few arrows landed at the spot which Wang Yu was initially standing on.
“On top!”
At this moment, the five melee players from Quan Zhen Sect turned around, before charging forward once more, surrounding the Elven Eye.
The previous wave seemed to be the Elven Eye’s last attempt at resistance. After switching positions, the eyeball of the Elven Eye dimmed down and it stopped throwing bombs and attacking with its roots. It only stood there until its HP bar became 0.
The Eleven Eye withered and landed on the floor, only leaving behind a large eyeball.
Seeing that the BOSS was dead, everyone went forward and surrounded it.
“Which of us shall extract the corpse?” Ming Du eagerly asked.
Everyone instantly turned to look at Peak Of Perfection.
Everyone still remembered how lucky Peak Of Perfection was the previous time they looted a corpse. Thus, everyone believed that it would be best to let Peak Of Perfection do it.
“Hehe! I shall respect everyone’s wishes in that case.” Seeing that everyone wanted him to be the one to loot the corpse, he promptly ran over.
The system seemed to know that the BOSS wasn’t much of a challenge, thus, the drops from the Elven Eye were pathetically few. As an Obsidian grade boss, it actually only had two chances of loot extraction…
Soon, Peak Of Perfection extracted the first item. He promptly sent the description of the item into the guild chat.
Eyeball Grass (Consumable)
[Vision]: Grants the user a field of vision of up to a 1000 radius from the item’s location when activated. Additionally reveals any invisible units within a 500 radius. Effect lasts for 600s.
[Explosion]: An explosion that deals 1000 fixed damage to any targets within a radius of 200.
It was common knowledge to everyone that a player’s field of vision was fixed to a certain radius. The field of vision provided by the Elven Eye would allow one to view the game as if it was a MOBA game instead for a short period of time, allowing one to identify any target locations easily.
However, receiving a larger field of vision was of little use in RPG games. After all, the duration of it only lasts for a short 10 minutes. In a game where people only focused on grinding and on character development, what’s the use of such a temporary effect?
Despite so, the number of tools that could counter [Stealth] was pathetically few. The ability of the Elven Eye to reveal any invisible units was an extremely valuable effect to have.
Furthermore, at crucial moments, this toy could even act as a bomb, dealing fixed damage to its surrounding targets. The thing about fixed damages was that the damage received would not be reduced or affected by the defences of the player. Dealing 1,000 fixed damage to a job class that did not have high HP would leave them in dire straits.
