As the server's acknowledged top healer, in her previous life, Xia Mo bore countless damages for her kin. However, during a Boss battle, she was betrayed by the person she trusted most, and her...
Chapter 57
The second time they pushed the dungeon, they reached the third boss in a shorter time than before.
Everyone was eager to try it out and hoped for a smooth ending, but an accident still happened.
Because the knife in the crotch was shot 2 seconds late, the third bird egg successfully broke out of the shell. The little owl that flew out instantly mutated into an adult, and followed its mother, the third owl, to attack everyone.
Then the fourth, the fifth...
As more and more little owls hatched, the crowd could no longer bear it and died again.
Of course, Xia Mo was still the only one left. Although she couldn't beat him, she ran fast. After seeing all seven people killed, she sighed calmly and escaped from the battle.
"Are you coming again?" she asked.
Everyone gritted their teeth: "Come!"
The third time, the salad and meat sauce arrow was shot too early, and the little owl had not yet appeared. The third brother was enraged, and a hellstorm swept through the whole place. Everyone broke away from the battle and escaped a disaster.
The fourth time, when the eighth bird egg was about to be successfully harvested, the man responsible for this egg was suddenly tripped by a monster and could not shoot his arrow. Even though Xia Mo accelerated and tried to make up for it, he was still half a step too late.
The group withdrew from the battle again.
There were four times in total, and each game took an average of 3 hours. By the time everyone came out of the dungeon, it was already dark.
It's not just the blackness, but also the acidity and nausea after fatigue.
"Damn, this third brother is too perverted, I'm going to explode!" He laughed so hard that his face became numb and he threw the sword to the ground, rubbing his face in pain.
The soldier Boboji sat down, too tired to say a word.
Latiao Xiaohuahua was also in great pain, but she managed to put the priest's staff into the armory, then sat down with difficulty, supporting herself on her thighs, and kept wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Of course, the most tired ones are the hunter with salad and meat sauce, the knife hidden in the crotch, and Xia Mo.
The first two people needed to observe the bird eggs with great concentration in the third level so as to wait for an opportunity to attack. They were too nervous and became paralyzed corpses after coming out.
Xia Mo took on the heavy burden of output throughout the game, moving, jumping and attacking frantically, using his skills non-stop, and was truly the physical king of the team.
I rested like this for several minutes, discouraged and tired, when suddenly, a calm voice sounded again.
"Open?"
Everyone looked up, surprised and a little uncertain.
Is it open?
Just two words, but behind them is their entire day's hard work and expectations.
Looking back, they pushed to the third place again and again, and failed again and again, but each time the point of failure was a little bit further forward than the previous time.
Although it was only a little bit, it gave them hope.
Yes, they have fought side by side until now, are they going to give up like this and hand over the first kill spot?
The copy aperture with a light blue light stood quietly behind, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted to the aperture.
At this time, even though it was already night, there were still teams that continued to enter with hope, and of course there were also losers that continued to walk out.
Among those who walked out, some shook their heads and gave up, but more of them gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, cheered up their teammates, and turned around and rushed into the dungeon again.
As if infected by the scene, Latiao Xiaohuahua was the first to raise her hand, looking at Xia Mo with a blazing gaze: "Open."
Then, the second person raised his hand, and then the third, the fourth...
Everyone looked at Xia Mo, his face tired but full of determination.
"Open!" He laughed until his face was paralyzed and picked up the big sword on the ground, saying loudly, "People who go straight to Qingyao will never admit defeat!"
A cry of never giving up successfully ignited everyone's fighting spirit.
Qingshui curved his eyebrows and looked at the person next to him with admiration.
Feeling his gaze, Xia Mo tilted her head and gave him a faint smile as a response.
"This is the fifth time, and I hope the last time, I've made it through in one go."
After that, he asked everyone to check the durability of their potions and equipment. After four rounds of fighting during the day, some people's potions should have been exhausted, so he gave them 10 minutes to return to the royal city to replenish their potions, and the rest rested on the spot and integrated their ideas for the four games during the day.
Xia Mo replenished himself with two bottles of stamina potion and just listened quietly without participating too much.
After all, they have all been in the round four times, and many things no longer require her guidance. She only needs to lead them back a little when their thoughts go astray.
While waiting, she flipped through the world channel.
It turned out to be the legendary difficult level 15. Even the Black Domain Kingdom, which had the least lack of resources, was not conquered. Besides, there was no news about Taotao's Tao and Ye. As for the rest... such as Zuijiu Xiaohongchen, forget it. They were even worse than Taotao and her brother, and there was no hope at all.
But speaking of it, Xia Mo carefully recalled who had taken the first kill of the difficult level 15 in her previous life. Why didn't she have any impression at all?
They couldn't remember, so they simply stopped thinking about it. A few minutes later, they waited for a few people who had returned from buying medicine.
It was the fifth time they started to fight monsters. Although they were already familiar with the procedures for the first and second bosses, the pressure in their hearts suddenly increased when they thought that tonight was their last chance.
With pressure comes motivation. The one in charge of pulling the monsters rushed forward first, laughing until his face was paralyzed. Taunt, Justice Pursuit, Shield Punishment! With a set of skills, he firmly held the third boss's hatred.
The third one got angry and flapped his wings fiercely, creating a shadow whirlwind!
The strong wind will cover a 140-degree fan-shaped area in front of him, and all people within the area will be blown away. This area will also expand as the third brother turns around.
Xia Mo immediately took over the command from Qingshui: "Use your shield skills to block the strong wind, and don't move!"
If you move, the strong wind will inevitably blow in other directions, and other people will suffer.
He laughed until his face was paralyzed. He knew the importance of keeping steady. He gritted his teeth and held up the shield with all his strength.
At the same time, the salad with meat sauce quietly rushed to the bird's nest behind the third brother's buttocks, aimed at the first broken bird egg, and puffed!
The first egg was hit with perfect timing, successfully strangling the little owl.
Sensing that someone was stealing his house from behind, the third brother turned around angrily, took off on the spot, and flapped his wings.
A hellstorm suddenly arose and swept towards Sala and several people nearby at an extremely fast speed.
Salad with Meat Sauce drank medicine and ran madly, barely escaping from the storm. However, Little Fist was half a step slower and was swept into the storm next to it, stopping moving for 3 seconds.
This pause gave the third brother an opportunity.
The sharp claws pounced down, and Little Fist was the first to die.
Without one output, everyone's rhythm became uncontrollably chaotic.
Xia Mo spoke up in time: "Don't panic, we just lost one output. I'm laughing so hard my face is paralyzed. You step back and let Boboji take over and draw the aggro."
The shadow whirlwind just now made me laugh so hard that my face was paralyzed. Even with the shield skill, a lot of blood was lost. Now I have to change players.
The warrior Boboji rushed out, taunting, roaring sword, and furious sweeping, pulling the hatred over.
Seeing that the Boss was caught again, he followed the same method with the salad and meat sauce, and once again slipped behind the third brother and successfully took the second bird egg.
The boss turned around and launched a Hellstorm as well.
Unfortunately, Sala failed to break through the siege this time and was fixed by the storm. Then he also died at the hands of the third brother.
The hunter was the only one left with a knife hidden in his crotch, and the burden of stealing the house suddenly fell on his shoulders.
Fortunately, he lived up to everyone's expectations and took over the baton from Sala. With the third, fourth... and all the way to the seventh egg, he successfully timed it and killed the little owl in the bird's egg!
Everyone was happy, and they intuitively felt that success was just around the corner.
However, the eldest brother was furious. It screamed and swooped down from mid-air. The man, who had just raised an excited look on his face, was killed in an instant by the knife hidden in his crotch, which was in its mouth.
When the third brother's health was reduced to 25%, he misjudged and activated the shield skill in advance. He laughed so hard that his face was paralyzed and he had no skills to resist the shadow whirlwind. He was blown straight into the gas tank by the strong wind and died.
At the same time, the hellstorm swept in. Boboji was a second slow in his movement and was trapped by the storm and died as well.
Next was the priest Latiao Xiaohuahua. Her agility was not high to begin with, and she did not run away when the storm came, so she was attacked by the third boss and died.
The third brother's health is still 12%, but only Xia Mo and Qingshui are left on the field.
"Don't worry about me, just use your ultimate move."
Warlocks can assist or attack, but assisting has no meaning at the moment, and the only way is to attack to death.
Qingshui nodded, drank the purple medicine and rushed forward.
His ultimate output skill [Soul Extraction] is comparable to Xingguan's group attack skill Star Destruction. The only difference is that the former does not come with freezing.
Even so, after a wave of powerful moves, the third brother's hatred was transferred to him.
Qingshui reacted quickly and immediately pulled the third brother away. Seeing this, Xia Mo drank the purple medicine and rushed towards the bird's nest.
The surface of the last bird egg showed signs of cracking, but it was not the time to attack yet. Xia Mo frowned and waited nervously.
Just then, boom!
The third brother behind him took Qingshui away with a shadow whirlwind.
She was the only one left.
Xia Mo gritted his teeth and continued counting the time waiting for the bird eggs to hatch.
5 seconds, 4 seconds.
3 seconds, 2 seconds.
1 second, it's now!
The moment the third brother stirred up the hell storm, Xia Mo launched a normal attack, turned around, and ran back at the fastest speed in his life!
Six or seven storms were chasing after her, but fortunately she had the bonus of the purple accelerating medicine, so she ran wildly while turning back to attack.
At this time, the effect of Xingguan's single-target continuous damage skill Starlight is reflected.
Starlight: When used against nocturnal monsters, the damage effect is increased by an additional 30%.
The owl was a nocturnal boss, and every time Xia Mo's starlight shot at it, it dealt incredibly high damage! Even more fortunately, she had several critical hits in the middle, and the third boss's health plummeted, and was quickly reduced to 5%.
Not forgetting the freezing effect that comes with Star Destruction, Xia Mo threw it out for the umpteenth time, hoping that this time he could freeze the third brother.
It was a pity that he failed. The Boss flew high into the sky and flapped his wings vigorously, and black clouds quickly spread over his head.
Damn, the black cloud that moved so fast actually appeared at this time.
Xia Mo had no choice but to put away his weapon and run around the field.
He had already been running in the dungeon all day, and now he suddenly had to run very fast again. Even after drinking the stamina potion, Xia Mo could still feel a deep sense of fatigue throughout his body.
The people lying on the ground watching the fight naturally noticed that her feet were heavy. They were so nervous that they widened their eyes and dared not breathe.
Dark clouds came and then dispersed.
Xia Mo picked up his weapon again and launched a counterattack.
Thanks to the fact that she adds points to [Balance] every time she levels up, plus the 30 points of balance added by equipping the Dragon Shoulders, her chances of getting a critical hit are much higher than others.
She used her skills 5 times in a row and surprisingly scored 4 critical hits.
During the sixth attack, the Boss suddenly fell into a strange state of trembling!
Xia Mo was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that she had obtained a title in the level 10 copy [Monster Slayer] - when fighting with a monster, there is a 10% chance that the monster will fall into a negative state of trembling, which lasts for 5 seconds!
Wow, the freeze effect didn’t appear, but the trembling was triggered.
Xia Mo felt embarrassed but also very lucky.
The 5 seconds of trembling time was a hard-earned opportunity, and she immediately released her essence to fight with it.
3%, 2%, 1%, 0.45%, the trembling is over!
Shit, even Xia Mo, who rarely curses, couldn't help but curse out loud! He was almost there!
Just a little bit more and the Boss is down!
Xia Mo gritted his teeth and took back Jingjing to prevent it from losing loyalty due to death in battle.
The third brother flapped his wings, Shadow Whirlwind!
Xia Mo hurriedly drank purple medicine, trying to escape from the fan-shaped coverage of the tornado, but at this time, she received a series of messages that her physical strength was about to run out.
[Warning, current physical strength is less than 15, it is recommended to rest! ]
[Warning, your current physical strength is less than 10, and you are at risk of fainting or sudden death! ]
After a long period of high-intensity combat, physical strength decreases very quickly.
Xia Mo gripped her weapon tightly. She used all her strength, turned around and unleashed her ultimate skill, Comet Storm, while running.
At the same time, a whirlwind blew on her. Xia Mo saw herself being blown up by the strong wind and was completely unable to control her body.
All the people lying dead stared at this scene, no——!
They cried out from the bottom of their hearts!
Mo Se, hold on, don’t die!
With a bang, she was blown above the gas tank by the strong wind, her body hit the wall and fell rapidly.
Before falling into the gas tank, the hand holding the weapon tightly moved.
Dragon's Reverse Scale! Open!
The only life-saving device was opened, and Xia Mo fell into the gas tank, but his health bar was intact.
At the same time, boom!
The skill lands on the Boss, creating a gorgeous comet effect.
0!
Xia Mo stared as dense messages popped up in front of him.

The time when the dungeon was completed was 11:59 pm. Everyone looked at this time in astonishment, as well as the densely packed pop-up boxes filling the screen. The excitement in their hearts was like a raging storm!
They did it, Qingyao Zhishang really did it!
