Chapter 129: Thick Skin is Hard to Beat
Since it landed on the ground, the Hawk-Eyed Basilisk has been standing in the center of the map without moving. Although it keeps roaring and flapping its wings from time to time, it has never taken a step forward. Tourists cannot see the invisible chains that bind the Hawk-Eyed Basilisk, which leads tourists to think that this BOSS is just standing there and letting them beat it.
If it were put in an online game, some people might think that the boss design is too rigid and unreasonable. What's the difference between hitting a standing boss and hitting a wooden stake?
But this is an offline real-life monster-killing game, with a ten-meter-tall BOSS standing right in front of you. The details are extremely realistic, the sound effects are also very explosive, and coupled with the temptation of rewards, the tourists are too excited and hit the BOSS hard to get points. For a while, no one noticed the fact that their damage was too low.
The first group to discover something was amiss were the national team that was in the top 100 of the Merit List. This team was also known as the Special Operations Department. They had a fixed time every week to come to the park to fight monsters, and then recruit outstanding candidates from the Merit List to enrich the team.
The team that came to participate in the large-scale event this time was an eight-person team of four women and four men. The captain was An Shilian, a thirty-year-old girl with an extraordinary level of 11. She was currently ranked first in the Merit List. The other team members were basically above level 8. Since participating in the large-scale event, their points have always been ranked first. They are also the team with the highest popularity in the live broadcast room and the most favored to win the championship.
All eight members of their team have been bound to the Red-Eyed Elves. When they fight, eight Purple-Eyed Thorns have been hovering around them, helping them maintain the extraordinary skills they stole from the monsters during the day.
Their team was large and well-coordinated. Since the boss was standing still, they formed a powerful lineup with a primary attack. Initially, they blended in like ordinary tourists, taking photos and posting them on social media. Once the fight officially began, they immediately unleashed their most powerful attacks, their blue bar dwindling at a visible rate. When the bar was down to half, An Shilian would step back, giving up his primary attack position, restoring his bar while observing the team's progress.
After this observation, she was surprised to find that after playing for so long, their team only gained 50 points!
The points for defeating the BOSS have been announced in the park before. The Hawkeye Basilisk has a total health of 350,000. Taking away one point of its health will be counted as 10 points. That is to say, their team has been fighting for so long, but only took away five points of the BOSS's health!
An Shilian made sure that he was not mistaken and counted the BOSS's health again.
The long health bar above the Hawkeye Basilisk's head remained bright red, fading only slightly at the end. If it weren't for the exceptionally sharp eyesight of a Level 11 Transcendent, one wouldn't even be able to detect this change. But it didn't matter. The bar still had numbers. It was now 11:30, and the boss had 348,000 HP remaining.
In other words, thousands of tourists at the scene worked hard for half an hour and only took away 2,000 points of health from the BOSS!
An Shilian stopped his teammates and explained the situation. Everyone was shocked. "So, at the current rate, even if everyone fought non-stop 24 hours a day, it would take about four days to finish?"
They were just shocked, but the audience in the live broadcast room were about to vomit blood.
——What the hell? This boss not only has a lot of health, but also has such high defense?
—An Shilian is number one on the merit rankings! And their team is all elite. Eight people only managed to take down five points of health in half an hour. I can't even begin to imagine what the others have accomplished...
Their team calculated their time based on 24 hours of non-stop monster-killing, but who would fight non-stop for 24 hours? It would be exhausting, right? Besides, there are only a few thousand or tens of thousands of people participating in large-scale events, and there are also some who just slack off. If we calculate it as 14 hours a day, it would take six days to defeat this boss!
Six days is not bad, considering the park said it would last a week. I was actually quite lucky to have a week, as I happened to be on the waiting list for the last day, so I was able to join in the fun.
The problem is, the extraordinary skills that Purple-Eyed Thorns stole from monsters can only last for a while! Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they have to go somewhere else to kill monsters and steal skills. This is too tiring!
——+1. At first I thought the skills were powerful and fun, but the stolen skills are time-limited, and they are useless when encountering such large-scale activities. But you can't be without skills. Others are casting spells to kill monsters from a distance, and you are the only one holding a wooden stick and rushing up to smash the monsters like a wall, which is also quite embarrassing.
——I don’t understand what you are worried about. The event is organized by the park and the rewards are so generous. We can’t let the BOSS be defeated so easily!
Even if they were to increase the difficulty, it's already too high! This isn't an online game where you can just sit there and play automatically. You have to stand there the whole time, and who can stand standing there spawning monsters for hours? Could it be a bug in the park's settings?
An Shilian's team couldn't see the barrage of comments, nor were they in the mood to pull out their phones to check them. Their team's current skill allocation, damage output, and supporting supernatural props were all top-tier after consulting the intelligent combat power analysis system. Currently, no team in the entire park had a better configuration than theirs.
And unlike ordinary tourists, they are aware of part of the truth. Therefore, when faced with this situation, they will not think that the park is at fault. They will only think that this monster is really powerful. Fortunately, it is bound within the park. If it escapes, the whole city will suffer!
An Shilian: "I didn't expect the difference between level 30 and level 10 to be so huge. Paradise didn't give its defense value before, but now it seems that its defense is also very strong."
Another teammate said, "Even if it's scraping, thousands of people scraping together will at least be able to scrape off a layer of skin! Besides, there's no other way except to keep doing it like this."
That being said, An Shilian had a bad feeling. Within ten minutes, her premonition was fulfilled. After a period of silence, the Hawk-Eyed Basilisk suddenly erupted in a startling roar. It struggled mightily, and at the same time, the chains binding it glowed yellow, revealing themselves to everyone. The Hawk-Eyed Basilisk's struggles caused it to sway constantly, and the tourists realized it was still chained.
The national team who knew the truth, as well as the ground dragon and the puff bird, all looked worried. Only the tourists were ignorant and fearless and were still discussing loudly.
"Wow, the chains on it are so beautiful!"
"Just now I thought this boss was a bit dull, but Paradise immediately arranged an animation for it. Kudos to the art department!"
"The momentum is so strong! I feel like it will suddenly take off."
The next moment, those chains that seemed to be made of light crackled and shattered as the hawk-eyed basilisk struggled. The hawk-eyed basilisk suddenly broke free from its restraints, flapped its wings and flew into the air. Its mouth opened wide and it spit out a green poisonous mist at these weak humans who were ignorant of the immensity of the world.
The green mist in the air was like a long rope, sweeping over all the tourists present. Everyone exclaimed collectively, and the ground dragon and the puff bird were so frightened that their courage almost exploded.
"Sister Xia, run!" Daoque pushed Xia Qingqing away when the poisonous mist sprayed over.
"Miss He, be careful!" Yan Xiao blocked He Jing behind him.
The ground dragons and puffbirds chose to protect the warriors around them. After all, they were a strange race and had a higher resistance to poison than humans, but many humans were still exposed to the poisonous fog.
But as they expected, the scene of humans howling in pain after being swept by the poisonous fog did not appear, because they took out the square box again, touched the poisonous fog fearlessly, and shouted excitedly while taking pictures and posting them on WeChat Moments.
This suicidal behavior stunned the Ground Dragon and the Puff Bird. Their pupils trembled again, and then they realized that, uh, there seemed to be no signs of poisoning on their bodies.
What's going on?
The audience in the live broadcast room were also startled by the sudden outburst of the Hawk-Eyed Basilisk.
——Ahhh, why didn’t you remind me that there was an animation? I was almost sleepy watching it just now. The BOSS suddenly jumped up and scared my cat so much that its fur stood on end.
——This animation is really well done, it makes the BOSS look so powerful and dangerous. Hehehe, the stronger the BOSS, the more exciting it is to fight it.
I used to be a bit afraid of monsters. I can't quite put my finger on why, maybe it's just how ugly they are. Before today, if I'd seen this hawk-eyed basilisk with its mouth agape, I'd have huddled under the covers. But after watching all the famous pranks people pulled on monsters, I'm surprisingly not afraid of monsters anymore. This hasn't been easy. The park has been so popular for so long, and I finally dared to buy a ticket.
——Dromion and Puccino are so righteous, they both choose to protect the tourists around them. The plot of this park is well arranged. With such righteous partners guarding desperately, it would be a shame not to defeat the BOSS.
——Being attacked by poisonous fog can't possibly have no effect at all, right? Otherwise, why would they specifically include this part?
——Ahhhh, I was so scared. Luckily the BOSS was tied up again, otherwise I was afraid that his stick would sweep all the tourists away.
After the hawk-eyed basilisk broke free from its restraints, it immediately sprayed out a puff of poisonous mist. It thought it could run away and was happy, but was suddenly pulled back by the chains.
Hawk-Eyed Basilisk: ...
It continued to struggle, and soon broke free from the chains and flew up. Then, after showing off its power, it was pulled back and tied up again. After this happened three or five times, it realized that it was not that it had broken free from the chains, but that the chains would let it go every half an hour and then tie it back!
It was fooled!
The hawk-eyed basilisk let out an angry and shrill roar.
The tourists' ears were ringing and they began to ask the staff if they could turn down the volume.
