"This time the situation is quite special."
Looking at the girls in front of him, Fang Zheng's expression was serious.
"I think you have already learned from Eriri that the boss is level 60, its attributes are unknown, and its physical defense is ridiculously high. In short, this is a boss that we cannot possibly fight at this stage. Our goal this time is to save people, so the goal is simple. We just need to attract the boss's hatred and force it to leave the central square for 30 seconds."
"Then let me..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Yuna hurriedly raised her hand. As the only player in the team with the "taunt" skill, this was the time for her to take the stage, but Fang Zheng shook his head.
"No, don't be anxious. The opponent is in the form of a centaur, which shows that he is a speed-type boss. He is also holding a spear. If you are not careful, he will charge and kill you as soon as you attract aggro... Shi Nong."
"exist."
Hearing Fang Zheng calling her name, Shi Nong came out. Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, then sighed, waved his hand, and called her aside.
"Here you go, will you use it?"
"This is……"
Looking at the weapon that Fang Zheng had traded for, Shi Nong was stunned. It was not because of anything else, but because the weapon that Fang Zheng handed over was something she was very familiar with.
She often sees this thing on TV. Isn't it a gun?
And it looks like a... sniper rifle?
"Add a silencer, the range is 500 meters, don't let others see you, hide in the woods over there, remember, don't ask for damage, just hold the boss."
Although Fang Zheng had always believed that it was not necessary to actually manufacture firearms, he still made a few guns for safety reasons. Anyway, these guns were all assembled by Fang Zheng using parts. Perhaps Liz, who made the parts, could guess what Fang Zheng wanted to do, but she probably wouldn't spread it around.
Fang Zheng would never reveal that the Dark Moon Sword could make guns unless it was necessary, because in this game, guns don't really play a big role, but they can easily give people a false sense of security. In fact, they are not used in general boss fights. Take this sniper rifle for example, the range of 500 meters sounds awesome, but how can you get a 500-meter range in a general boss room?
Therefore, once this matter was exposed, not only would it be bad news, but it would also easily cause trouble for him, so Fang Zheng basically kept it hidden from others.
But now, with human lives at stake, he doesn't need to hesitate any longer. He's not one of those anime male protagonists who is unwilling to use his power even if so many people die, and has to wait until his girlfriend dies before using the sealed power... That's stupid, pure and simple.
"Everyone else, evacuate this area and go outside to carry out the blockade mission. Do not let anyone in or out."
Having said this, Fang Zheng paused and stared at the others.
"Anyone."
Hearing these words, Asuna and Kuroneko's expressions slightly changed. It was obvious that they understood Fang Zheng's meaning. As for those who simply didn't understand, it didn't matter. Anyway, they knew that they just had to follow Fang Zheng's orders.
After making sure that everyone else had left, Fang Zheng sent a message to Esther and Restia, asking them to protect Shi Nong. This was not because Fang Zheng was worried about Shi Nong, but to prevent someone from accidentally approaching and discovering Shi Nong and the sniper rifle in her hand. With Esther and Restia on guard outside, there shouldn't be any problems.
The place where the Centaur Boss appears is the central square of the abandoned city, surrounded by low houses and collapsed walls, with ruins everywhere, giving people a feeling of a world war. This is also the place where many gathering players will come, because in the ruins here, you can collect some steel and ore and other things, but now, the whole square is empty.
Maybe this is also an advantage of the game, after all, you don’t have to look at the corpses all over the ground.
"How are we going to get there?"
Leaning against a half-collapsed wall, Eriri looked out at the Centaur in the square in the distance. She didn't think much of it when she looked at it from a distance before, but now that she was close, even Eriri felt a little scared. This boss was a mechanical creation, and it looked as tall as a building. Eriri had never seen such a big boss before. Not to mention that its level was terrifyingly high. If it touched her, she would probably die.
Facing such a boss, Eriri was also unsure.
"Bring me what I gave you earlier."
"OK."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Ying Lili quickly completed the transaction. Then Fang Zheng took the items and equipped himself. Soon, two strange things appeared on both sides of Fang Zheng's thighs.
They consist of a cylinder and a rectangular box. The rectangular box is flat and long, while the cylinder installed on the box looks a bit like a motorcycle exhaust pipe.
“This stuff is really interesting.”
Seeing this, Ying Lili recalled the feeling when she tried it a few days ago, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, don't you plan to give one to the others as well?"
"It depends. It's just an experiment right now. If the space for boss battles is further expanded later, I'll give it to others as standard equipment."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng checked the device on his thigh and then looked at Ying Lili.
"Okay, come on, I'll carry you."
"good."
If it was before, or in public, Ying Lili might have been a little shy. But now there were only her and Fang Zheng here, and they had done everything they should and shouldn't do, so Ying Lili was no longer reserved, and smiled and threw herself on Fang Zheng's back, hugging him tightly.
Fang Zheng stood up, walked forward a few steps cautiously, came to the entrance at the edge of the square, and stared at the huge monster.
“——!!”
Not long after, the Centaur Boss suddenly trembled, then turned around and looked to the other side. Then the next moment, the Centaur Boss raised the spear in his hand, and rushed towards the direction of the attack with a roar of his limbs!
"call!!"
Under the gazes of Fang Zheng and Ying Lili, the Centaur Boss swung the spear in his hand with all his might, and a violent airflow erupted instantly, covering everything within nearly a hundred meters in front of him, as if it was swept by an invisible blade.
"hiss……"
Seeing this, Ying Lili gasped, while Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little worried before, but now it seems that this boss does have a distance limit. Shi Nong's range is about 500 meters, which is enough to avoid the boss's attack.
But don't count on getting rid of it.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng glanced at the health indicator on the Boss's head. Shiyin's shot just now took away 50 points of its health, leaving only a trace, and then it was restored instantly, which meant that Shiyin's attack was not enough to cause damage to the Boss. In this case, it would be useless for Shiyin to kite the Boss for a year.
But at least, it's enough to attract the Boss's attention.
The Centaur Boss shook its body again, and it was obvious that Shiyin had launched another attack. This time, the Centaur Boss was obviously a little anxious, but it was indeed confined to the periphery of the square. Fang Zheng saw the Centaur Boss walk to the edge of the ruins of the Iron City, and then stopped again, shaking left and right, as if it was blocked by a transparent wall.
That's enough!
"Let's go!"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng tightened his grip on the blade in his hand, then he grabbed the button between his hands and pressed it hard.
“Swoosh!!”
The next moment, two steel cables suddenly shot out from the rectangular box equipped on Fang Zheng's thigh, and quickly pierced into a half-collapsed tower wall dozens of meters away. Then, accompanied by a faint mechanical sound, Fang Zheng quickly leaped up with Ying Lili on his back, like a flying bird, spreading its wings and flying into the sky!
