Under his warning, Kamui and the other two finally avoided making the most basic mistake this time.

Everything went smoothly.

However, in the end, the three mechanisms were not activated at the same time.

Su Bai was prepared.

Exit the secret realm one second before the sky island sinks.

This time, Nine Lives and Squid were smarter. Knowing that Kamui was going to cause trouble, they withdrew in time, avoiding death.

After the entire team was wiped out.

The group tacitly refrained from questioning Shenwei.

This mechanism is so well hidden that any attempt to manipulate it is too easy for him to find a hundred excuses to justify himself, making it a waste of breath.

"This mechanism isn't difficult; you just need to check the time. I've already mastered it."

Nine Lives began to summarize.

"It is indeed very simple."

Cuttlefish also said.

Neither of them were speaking to Kamui, but their attitudes were quite clear.

It's such a simple mechanism, something you can learn after playing it twice. If you keep making mistakes, you're treating everyone like fools.

"This time, I'll try to get it right in one go."

Su Bai remained calm and did not put any further pressure on the two of them.

He simply said, "Don't be too careless. This is just the preliminary task. After activating the mechanism, I estimate there will be a BOSS battle. We don't know what the BOSS's mechanics are yet."

Your guess is not without merit.

Nine Lives nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Kamui's eyes flashed almost imperceptibly, and he immediately initiated a restart request.

This time it went even more smoothly.

Perhaps it was the subtle hints from Su Bai and Jiu Ming that had an effect.

Shenwei didn't cause any more trouble.

When the three mechanisms were activated at the same time, everyone heard a loud bang coming from the mountain platform.

Boom!!

It felt as if something heavy had fallen.

at the same time.

A red light rose from the activated altar and enveloped Su Bai.

[Received: You have been granted the 'Light of the Mind' status!]

【Light of the Mind: Passive, can negate the Mind's Resentment released by 'Despair Devourer', preventing it from releasing powerful divine spells, durability (7) stacks, duration 999 seconds, cleared after leaving the instance】

...

This is another mechanic of the first boss monster.

Su Bai first returned to the mountain platform.

Immediately, an uninvited guest appeared in the open space.

It was a terrifying monster, enormous, about three meters tall, with skin that was a sickly grayish-black, looking like rotting flesh.

Its head was covered by a huge metal mask, which was engraved with strange runes and mysterious patterns. A fierce red light shone from the eye holes in the mask, sending chills down one's spine.

Its body was wrapped in a faded black robe, which was also decorated with creepy religious symbols and evil patterns.

In such a beautiful and magnificent setting, a terrifying monster appears.

This made everyone feel a strong sense of eeriness and incongruity.

The monster stood still, without making any moves. In general, players have to actively go to the boss monsters in the secret realm to trigger the battle.

The group gathered together first.

At this moment, each person was enveloped in a halo of a different color.

Shenwei and Gillian Chung are both green.

Nine Lives and Inkfish are both blue.

The three colors represent different mechanisms, and even without Su Bai's prompting, the few with extensive gaming experience could guess them.

"Light of the Mind, Light of Erosion, Light of Corruption... It seems that monsters will constantly introduce new mechanics during battle, requiring those of us with status effects to counteract them."

Based on the information provided by everyone, Jiu Ming quickly came to a conclusion.

He had no choice but to do this.

When he's playing dungeons, Jiu Ming is too lazy to do this kind of intelligence analyst work.

But right now, he neither dared to directly offend Shenwei, nor did he want to become his stepping stone for no reason.

So he simply made full use of his intelligence and talent.

This highlights some potential pitfalls in the game.

He has already gone to such lengths; if the other party still blatantly pretends to be stupid and makes mistakes, then he has nothing more to say.

For him, the good thing was that at least there was one heavyweight in the team who was fearless and dared to directly confront the opponent...

Then he looked at Su Bai.

“We are all in pairs, each with seven levels of status. You are alone, so it looks like you'll have to work a little harder.”

He said.

"I'll be careful," Su Bai nodded.

Compared to the Sky Island mechanics.

This mechanism is indeed much more complicated.

During the battle, the boss monster will continuously summon orbs of corresponding colors in the arena. Players with the corresponding status must then collide with and destroy these orbs to neutralize them.

If it was a player in another state who accidentally bumped into it.

Or it exceeds the time limit.

The ball of light will explode.

Depending on the color, it will apply a negative status effect to all players.

The negative effect of Mind Light is 'Spell Interference'.

The negative effect of the Light of Erosion is 'weakened defense'.

The negative effect of the Light of Corruption is 'chronic putrefaction'.

The former will interfere with the spellcasting of ranged players, which has a more serious impact on mages. The weakening of defense goes without saying, and the final chronic poison is a debuff that causes continuous damage.

This mechanism is difficult to achieve perfectly.

In combat, players rarely pay attention to their own positioning, and the location of the light orbs summoned by monsters is also random.

It's easy to accidentally bump into something.
