Chapter 54
The level 15 difficult dungeon, the experimental cage, is even more terrifying than the level 10 dungeon, the Nighthaunt.
The claustrophobic environment, the faint swaying shadows, the dried blood on the ground and walls, and the eerie background music make it clear that the game wants to carry out the horror dungeon to the end.
The one laughing his face off was the Paladin, leading the way. Seeing the dark and chilly surroundings, he couldn't help but grumble, "Is this a dungeon or an escape room? Why is there always this hellish stuff..."
Latiao Xiaohuahua rolled her eyes at him. "Is there any difference between the two things you mentioned? Don't they both require the player to escape?"
"Well, I mean this copy is a bit creepy." He laughed so hard that his face became paralyzed and scratched his head, walking forward while talking.
Suddenly, several streams of liquid spurted down from a high place in front.
"There's a monster!"
While giving a loud warning, he quickly raised the Paladin's shield!
He reacted quickly and blocked the liquid out immediately.
They were about to rejoice after laughing so hard their faces became paralyzed, but the next moment, they saw a torrent of liquid spraying towards them!
"It's a venom attack. All ranged players, retreat and attack from a distance. Laughing until your face is paralyzed, Boboji, watch out for your health."
Qingshui gave calm orders through the voice chat. Upon hearing his words, the hunters, elementalists, and Xia Mo who were in charge of long-range attacks all retreated immediately.
We have to retreat, Xia Mo complained in his heart. The ones spraying the venom are mutant black spiders. Their venom attacks have high damage and strong aftereffects. If a player is sprayed once, he is guaranteed to lose a lot of blood.
Although they won't die immediately, if the beginning is so thrilling, it will inevitably affect the morale of the entire team.
What's gratifying is that the overall quality of Team 1 selected by Qingshui is good. Except for being a little flustered when they were suddenly attacked by Liquid just now, they immediately regained their rhythm under Qingshui's arrangement.
There are only two melee teammates this time, one is a paladin who is laughing so hard that his face is paralyzed, and the other is a warrior Boboji.
The two of them were fighting the venom in the front, while Xia Mo and the others attacked from a distance.
After all, they were just small monsters, and the first wave at that. In less than 10 minutes, everyone quickly cleared them out.
I pushed forward all the way. When I cleared the seventh wave of monsters, I laughed so hard that my face collapsed and I couldn't help but complain: "What kind of dungeon is this? It's full of monsters. When will the boss come?"
Xia Mo listened silently without saying a word.
Of course, the reason for not saying anything is very simple, because soon, when the first person crosses the line on the ground, the first boss will come out.
Sure enough, when he was laughing so hard that his face was paralyzed and he was completely unaware that he was crossing the line of the laboratory, he saw a black shadow falling from the sky!
"Be careful with facial paralysis!"
"Bobo Chicken, get out of the way!"
Whether a monster or a boss appears, the first to be hurt are always melee.
Xia Mo saw the reactions of the two people. Although he ran out of the shadow at the first moment, the shadow fell faster.
Puff, puff!
The two men were trapped in the net, unable to move, and blood continued to drip down.
"It's the spider web! We seem to be frozen!" he shouted, laughing until his face was paralyzed. "And it keeps draining our health!"
"No, it's not just blood loss." Boboji frowned, his face solemn. "Don't you notice that the damage to us is piling up?"
I realized it belatedly and laughed so hard that my face was paralyzed and I said, "Oh my god."
"I was wondering why the damage was getting higher and higher! It turns out it's still accumulating! Xiaohuahua, please heal us quickly." He screamed with laughter until his face was paralyzed.
She usually argues a lot in the guild, but at the critical moment, Latiao Xiaohuahua is absolutely reliable. She raised the priest's staff and was about to restore the health of the two people, but suddenly, the priest's staff was gently pressed down by someone.
She was startled for a moment and turned around quickly: "What's wrong, Mo Se? Why don't you let me treat you?"
Because once you heal, the spider web's next target will be you.
This is the unique attack method of the Boss Yellow Spotted Venomous Spider. They have extremely poor eyesight and cannot see living things. Their sense of smell and hearing are not sensitive. The only sensitive thing is the silk thread on the spider web.
By capturing through spider webs, they can immediately sense where the target is. If an external aid suddenly comes at this time, such as Latiao Xiaohuahua, and suddenly treats from the outside, the yellow-spotted poisonous spider can instantly understand that there are living things around, so it follows the sensation and releases the spider web as soon as possible to trap the external aid.
Therefore, the more you cannot take action at this time, you must rely on the players in the spider web to drink medicine and get through it.
But Xia Mo couldn't say these, so he changed his words: "Group healing has a freeze time. What if there is an accident later and you can't use it? Let them take the medicine to resist first."
When Latiao Xiaohuahua heard this, she thought it made sense, so she immediately took the pastor's staff and asked them to drink the medicine.
The damage of the spider web continued to accumulate layer by layer until it reached the fifth layer, which was also the highest layer, and then it stopped attacking.
The two people who barely managed to survive by drinking medicine called it thrilling.
"Damn, just a spider web, I almost died!" He laughed until his face was paralyzed and touched the sweat on his forehead, with a look of having survived a disaster.
But he was thankful for less than 2 seconds, because the next moment, spider silk as thick as a human arm suddenly spurted out!
"Put up the shield and start blocking!" Qingshui shouted quickly.
Before they could even catch their breath, Laughing Face Paralysis and Bobo Chicken were forced to activate their defensive skills again.
This is the second move of the Yellow Spotted Venomous Spider. If the person trapped in the spider web does not die immediately, it will spit out spider silk several times to kill the player.
Fortunately, Laughing Face Paralysis and Bobo Chicken reacted quickly. Some of them put up their shields, and some of them started blocking. In short, the spider silk failed to attack them and was forced to retract it.
At the same time, Latiao Xiaohuahua took the opportunity to give them both a single treatment, reducing their health to about 80%.
"Fuck, this boss has no moral principles. Why does he always pick on us two melee fighters?" Seeing Spider Silk retreat, he lowered his shield with a smile that made his face look numb and his eyes filled with resentment. At the same time, his tone was filled with a hint of confusion, "Why are you ranged fighters just standing there watching and not doing anything?"
On the DPS panel, everyone's output value is still at the level when they first started to kill monsters.
Hearing this, Salad with Meat Sauce helplessly pointed around: "Look around here, is there any trace of Boss?"
What? He was so stunned by his laughter that his face was paralyzed. He looked around hurriedly. After two seconds, he finally reacted and stared with disbelief: "This boss can become invisible?!"
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true. Slaw Meat Sauce nodded gravely, "Ever since you were immobilized, we've been searching for it and even tried to attack it several times, but we haven't touched it at all. It must have become invisible, so we can't see it."
"How do we fight? Attack randomly?" This is too inefficient.
This was the first time I encountered an invisible boss. I laughed so hard that my face became paralyzed and I frowned as I asked everyone.
Seeing no one answer, Xia Mo had to step forward and ask: "Have you ever played the level 10 dungeon Dark Night Nest?"
Except for the man with the knife hidden in his crotch, everyone else, including Qingshui, shook their heads.
"No, I had something to do at home during the days when the level 10 dungeon was released, so I didn't go online. After I came online, I found that there was no team news in the world, so I simply didn't go." He laughed so hard that his face was paralyzed and he scratched his head, telling the truth.
Bobo Chicken: "I wasn't online during those days either, so I missed it."
Latiao Xiaohuahua: "I was online, but I didn't join our guild at that time. I was just a solo player. I entered the dungeon with a group a few times, but ended up getting tanked for no apparent reason. I was so angry that I just gave up on the dungeon."
Everyone has their own reasons for not completing the level 10 dungeon. After listening to them, Xia Mo thought to himself that it was no wonder that they had no ideas at the moment.
He then turned his gaze to the only two people present who had been there before: "You've cleared a level 10 dungeon. There was a part in the dungeon where you had to find the correct path. How did you do it?"
Xia Mo didn't want to tell everyone the solution too directly, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion, so he tried to use the knife hidden in his crotch to reveal the solution.
The other party shook his head in confusion: "...I didn't do anything...The captain just picked a random one and saw the boss..."
Xia Mo: ...
Okay, she underestimated the number of lucky players in this game.
Seeing so many eyes eager for the answer, Xia Mo had no choice but to step forward and give a suggestion: "There is a part in the level 10 dungeon where you need to use the stones on the dungeon cave wall to emit light, and then find the traces left by the boss on the ground. I think it should be similar this time, and it will also require some external props to help."
As for what external props and how to assist, Xia Mo couldn't say.
But after she mentioned this, everyone already understood what she meant.
Slaw offered an uncertain idea: "Maybe we can turn on the lights? We're in the basement lab now, there should be power."
He laughed so hard that his face became paralyzed and he slapped his thigh: "Yes! Turn on the light! Wait, let me feel where the switch is."
After saying that, he picked up the shield and ran towards the wall.
The warrior Bobo Chicken also joined him: "I'll come too, I'll go to the other side."
They had the thickest blood, so they should have taken on the responsibility of clearing the way, but the others were not idle either. They all watched them with bated breath, ready to deal with danger at any time.
Soon, Bobo Chicken found the switch of the room: "I found it!"
With a click, the switch was pressed, and a faint red light lit up on the ceiling of the underground laboratory, like infrared rays. The moment it lit up, it immediately revealed the prototype of the Boss - an oversized spider that was fatter than an adult!
Unlike the spiders we commonly know, this spider is milky white all over. Except for a few yellow spots on its abdomen, all other parts are white, including its eyeballs and eight legs. It looks really weird.
Sensing the infrared light, the white pincers on its mouth opened and closed frantically, and it looked like it was about to attack!
This is the time when you really can't be attacked! Otherwise, both melee fighters will be dead!
According to Xia Mo's prior understanding, neither the priest Latiao Xiaohuahua nor the warlock Qingshui have the resurrection skill now, which means that if Xiaodaomianpa and Boboji die now, the team will lose two full combat forces that can withstand the damage.
Xia Mo quickly ordered Latiao Xiaohuahua and Qingshui: "Each of you take charge of one and give them immunity skills!"
Although there is no resurrection skill, both of them have learned immunity.
The priest's is called [Holy Light] and the warlock's is called [Darkness Dispelling]. The skill names are different, but the effects are similar. They can make the person being cast immune to any negative status for a certain period of time, including spider web immobilization.
She deliberately didn't say it before and didn't let the two of them become immune, just to save this trick for now.
Within 3 seconds after turning on the light, the yellow-spotted poisonous spider will descend on the spider web for the second time, and the spider web's immobilization time this time will be longer than the first time.
It can be said that except for warriors or paladins who have stacked their health to a super high level and their defense to a super strong level, almost no one can withstand this second wave of immobilization damage.
The only solution is immunity.
As long as you laugh until your face becomes paralyzed and Bobo Chicken is not immobilized, you can escape safely from the spider web.
After hearing her order, Latiao Xiaohuahua and Qingshui didn't hesitate at all. The former was responsible for laughing until his face was paralyzed, and the latter was responsible for Bobo Chicken. They quickly threw out the immunity in their hands.
Phew——!
The spider silk was released synchronously with the two people's immunity skills.
He laughed so hard that his face paralyzed and he ran while holding up his shield. He wanted to block the spider web, but the powerful spider web ignored the shield and covered his weapon together!
"What the hell is this spider web!" I laughed so hard that my face became paralyzed and I couldn't help but scream.
His shield skill is the Paladin's life-saving trick, but this Boss can ignore it and continue to attack!
I laughed until my face became numb and my heart tightened. I looked up at my blood pressure, which was 60%. I was afraid that even taking medicine would not be able to make it this time.
Just as he was despairing, suddenly, some skill landed on him, and at the same time, the voice of Latiao Xiaohuahua rang out in the voice chat: "What are you still standing there for? I've given you immunity, run!"
He was so shocked that his face was paralyzed with laughter. Then he found that he was not frozen!
But because he was still covered by the spider web, the blood on his body was still dripping down.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as people can still run!
He immediately ran out, and after a few steps, he successfully rushed out of the coverage of the spider web. Seeing that the blood on his body was saved, he smiled until his face was paralyzed. He took a breath in shock and frantically drank red medicine.
The situation was similar on Boboji's side. He also thought he was going to die at the first moment. However, Qingshui cast a [Darkness Dispel] on his head, and the spider web's immobilization was ineffective. He was delighted and rushed out in a hurry!
If there are no deaths among all members, the rest will be easy.
Xia Mo raised his weapon and began running and attacking along the edge of the spider web.
Seeing this, the other ranged players were unwilling to fall behind. At once, arrows, water arrows, ice chains... the hunters and elementalists all launched their skills.
Seeing the Yellow Spotted Venomous Spider's health continuously dropping, the group couldn't help but feel happy.
However, before a few people could celebrate in advance, suddenly, the infrared light above their heads began to flash.
Every time the light flashed, the yellow-spotted poisonous spider would teleport. The first time, it teleported to the wall. The second time, it suddenly appeared on the ground. The third time...
Everyone secretly thought that this was not good. Xia Mo also felt that he could no longer hide his secrets and quickly said in the voice chat: "Elementalist, throw the water mist!"
