Chapter 53 Black Hand
Black Hand
Bu Yan: "Pay attention to the health bar when outputting, 50%."
"The prompt has been issued. Prepare for treatment."
As soon as the words fell, the screen immediately prompted: [My grandchildren, listen to the call, wake up quickly!]
Then, a familiar red triangle sigh appeared in front of them - [Players, please pay attention! The Bamboo Demon King was seriously injured and was forced to lose his beloved body. The bamboo descendants responded to the demon king's call and woke up from their slumber. They are now rushing towards you from all directions.]
[Please find the true body of the demon king You Zhuhuang within the specified time. The countdown begins.]
Bu Yan: "Team one, 1,000-jin jump."
This time there were no accidents, and they found the boss's location soon. Just when Chi Dong and the others thought they would defeat it smoothly, complications suddenly arose.
In the last round of summons, the Demon King's health bar had dropped to 5%, but the five members of the team had not yet found its true form. The others were surrounded by bamboo forests and had to endure a lot of damage reduction buffs.
Seeing this, Chi Dong suddenly felt a little panicked, feeling that the whole group would be destroyed in the next second, so he immediately looked at the buffs stacked on himself, then stared at the health bars of other people for a few seconds, rested his left elbow on the table, and lightly supported his chin.
There is no need to use his great Qinggong for the time being, because Bu Yan has just reminded others to take medicine on their own. At this stage of treatment, they only need to use blood-adding skills to protect them from half blood.
Chi Dong thought for a while and decided to keep the two life-saving skills, shield and great light skill, for now and not use them, to avoid any unexpected events later.
As everyone knows, Liuli Xuanyu is a group dungeon for twelve people. The normal team configuration is two battle shields, three dream glasses, and two sword warriors. The rest can be arranged at will. As long as the team has this configuration, they will definitely not be wiped out when playing this dungeon.
However, their team only has nine people, one battle shield, one swordsman, and two healers. The battle shield needs to attract hatred, so there are only four people left in the team jumping on the bamboo to find the true body. But when summoning in an odd-numbered bamboo forest, the time is one minute faster than that of an even-numbered summon, so usually the captain will transfer one more person into the team.
As the saying goes, one more person means more strength.
In addition, the bamboo forest is large, so although Bu Yan did not adjust the team at the beginning, he directly asked Bu Qianli to jump over the bamboo with the same team.
Bu Yan had never imagined that as a player ranked in the top ten of the leaderboard, he would actually have a chance to fail in the [Liuli Xuanyu] dungeon. This was truly unprecedented.
Chidong and Chifanla were struggling hard down there. He had just performed a great Qinggong move to restore his health. It was not that he did not want to stay until the end, but the more bamboo soldiers there were at the back, surrounding them densely. The screen was filled with a refreshing green.
The more bamboo soldiers there are, the greater the damage. With such a dense attack of bamboo leaves, it would be difficult for even him with his solid health and defense to withstand it, let alone others.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Bu Qianli and the others still hadn't found the real body. Finally, they simply decided not to waste time looking for it anymore. Bu Qianli jumped directly down with a leap, with huge red wounds on his body, and started speaking in a low voice.
"Come down, don't look for it anymore, let's just fight, Dongdong and Su Nisheng use Bodhi Snow."
"Shadowbreaker's 'Falling Shadows' controls the five bamboo soldiers on the upper left, Strongman Lock Man's 'Phantom Moon Reincarnation' controls the five on the right, and the others use group attack skills."
"Exit the red circle, everyone triple jump, leave the attack range."
Under Bu Qianli's methodical command, the demon king You Zhuhuang was beaten down to only 0.5% of his health bar. Victory was just around the corner, but at this time all his healing skills had been used up, and the cooldown time (CD) of the fastest skill was still 20 seconds.
He frantically flipped through the skill pages, trying to find a skill he hadn't used yet, when he suddenly remembered that he still had a shield skill - the dream drum was useless.
He just dragged it out from the corner, and then Bu Qianli's steady and magnetic voice came through the headset, "Dongdong, shield."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling shield was put on him. Bu Qianli's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he calmly pressed the space bar, bounced and flew to a bamboo tree in front of the left, which he thought no one had discovered.
Bu Qianli used the chopping, stabbing and slashing skills three times in succession, and then a roar rang in their ears. Then, the Demon King, who everyone had been looking for for a long time, suddenly fell to the ground from the bamboo where Bu Qianli was. Critical attacks kept coming out of his body, and in less than three seconds, he turned into a white light and disappeared in front of them, leaving behind only a glittering golden treasure chest.
The moment he saw the treasure chest, Jiang Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It was a close call. I almost had to do it again."
There was a burst of applause on the channel. Chifanla and Nanshangjianan were once again impressed by Bu Qianli's cool performance. They clapped their hands crazily and praised him, "Master is so handsome, starry eyes, I love you!"
"After all, this is a group copy. There are not enough people to open the copy, and the copy mechanism is not in our favor." Bu Yan smiled, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Haha, it is indeed very handsome. I wonder if someone can be received by others this time."
Without waiting for a response, he urged Chi Dong to open the box. This time he was very conscious and called Chi Dong before others could remind him.
You Zhuhuang is the last boss and also the one with the richest rewards in this game.
Everyone was looking forward to the reward this time more than ever before, especially the meal and the men on top of men. At this moment, their eyes sparkled with gold, and they stared at the big treasure chest within reach with burning eyes. On one hand, they kept rubbing their hands against each other, and on the other hand, they were still shouting excitedly: "Ahhhh, Dongdong, come on, come on, my little wallet is already jumping for a try."
"Fanfan, if the clothes are sold this time, please give them to me!! I have been waiting for them for a long, long time. You know I am a closet collector, and I just lack this set of clothes. Please~" The man on top of the man lowered his voice and looked so pitiful that the strong man sitting next to her shivered. He almost dropped the mouse, and goose bumps appeared on his arms.
"Hahahahaha, I don't want clothes, I already have this set of clothes. I just want that headdress [Bamboo Leaf Bell]. You don't know, this bell is so beautiful. Last time, Juhua got it at the market for the first time, and I was so jealous." Chifanla explained with a smile.
Feeling everyone's strong expectations, Chi Dong sat on the chair a little nervously, his heart suddenly pounding. He didn't know if his luck would continue to be as good as last time. If he didn't get what everyone wanted, would they blame him?
Seeing that he was slow to come forward, Bu Qianli's brows twitched slightly, and he looked at the screen thoughtfully. Then, ignoring everyone's surprised looks, he walked past them and opened the box directly before they had time to step forward to stop him, amidst everyone's terrified expressions.
[System] The player kills one person every ten steps to open the dungeon treasure chest (four), and obtains 1 withered bamboo shoot heart, 1 key fragment, 4 low-level gems, 5 low-level herbs, and 9 copper coins.
The man on top of the man had a look of pain on his face, and he screamed, "Ahhh, Master, why are you the one who opened it? My clothes are gone, gone, gone, I am crying my heart out."
I was about to cry while eating, and she blurted out a few words in her dialect: "My heart is broken. Master, although I admire your skills, but you don't know that your luck is still as bad as before. My lovely headdress disappeared right before my eyes."
Mo Mo passed by and whispered, "Master, you are really a shady person. Is it true that people on the forum say you are the shady person?"
Jiang Ying didn't know what his friend was thinking. He knew that he had bad luck and the lowest luck in the server, but he dared to go open the box without fear of being scolded. So he tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Haha, it's okay, it's okay. People make mistakes and horses stumble. There is a probability of opening a box."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Oh, it seems like we still have time to play again, do you guys still want to play?"
Man on man: "Fight, fight, fight. I don't believe it will be this dark this time."
Silently passing by: "Of course I'll continue playing. I finally finished my homework and saved enough time to play games. If I don't use it up, I'll be in big trouble."
Chifanla was intrigued by his words and asked, "What? Aren't you an adult? Why do you need to save time to play games?"
~~~~~
After comforting the others, Jiang Ying went to chat privately with Bu Qianli.
[Private chat] Poying: What's wrong with you? Didn't you tell Dongdong to hide and open the boxes? Now, you, an African black hand, opened a bunch of junk. If I hadn't been smart enough to save the situation for you, and these people were all our helpers, you would have been in trouble again this time.
[Private chat] Kill one person in ten steps: Yes.
[Private Chat] Po Ying: ...Remember not to open the boxes on your own initiative later. I won’t take the blame for you next time.
[Private chat] Kill one person in ten steps: Yes.
After receiving two cold “hmm”s, Jiang Ying was helpless. They quickly opened it again. This time, Chi Dong was familiar with the dungeon mechanism and all the skills of the boss, so they passed it smoothly.
It was time for the much-anticipated box-opening segment. Since the box in the previous round had been opened by a thief, they were determined not to let him mess things up this time.
They surrounded Chi Dong, and finally Chi Dong softened his heart and couldn't resist the crazy soft sobbing in his ears of the men and the eating, so he finally agreed.
Chidong opened three treasure chests in a row, and the rewards were pretty good. Although no pet eggs were opened, the things that came out were all good and could be used at their level.
When they arrived at the fourth boss's treasure chest, Chi Dong hesitated for a moment before moving forward. Perhaps because they saw his nervousness and concern, everyone tried to comfort him.
"It's okay, Dongdong, just drive with confidence. The worst case scenario is that it won't be as bad as the one driven by the master."
"That's right, you don't even know. I almost threw away the bag of copper money that Snail gave me just now. Am I short of copper money? What I'm short of is clothes."
"Go ahead, don't be afraid"
In the end, it was Bu Qianli who spoke. Hearing the familiar voice in the headset, Chi Dong's panicked heart suddenly calmed down. He no longer hesitated, approached the box and clicked to open it.
[System] Player Dongdong hid and opened the dungeon treasure chest (four), and obtained Black Feather Bamboo Glass Fashion Outfit*1, Glazed Crown Headdress*1, High-level Blue Heart Grass*1, Low-level Resistance Gem*4, Level 85 Main Weapon (Random), and Copper Coins*9.
Man on man: "Fuck, am I seeing right? Is that my clothes?! Ahhhhh I'm going crazy, hubby don't pull me, I want to give Dongdong a kiss, that's great! From now on you will be my little red hand."
As soon as the system message came out, Chi Dong felt like his earphones were about to explode. In order to prevent the hearing aid from suffering too much and to avoid damage to his ears, he took it off without thinking and placed it gently on the table.
Not only was Man on Man yelling, even Snail Immature and Su Nisheng, who had been silent tonight, were a little surprised, not to mention those who were already eating like crazy in the channel.
It's time to eat: "Oh my god, oh my god! Dongdong, you are so awesome, how about you take me in as your apprentice? I will follow you around like a slave and never go west, no matter what you say."
Let's Eat: "As long as you play with me next week or the week after next, I can get the headdress I want. Please!"
