Shen Jue glanced down at the lord boss who was retreating in panic.
Take the lord boss from earlier as an example.
The current Boss is trying his best to avoid the cross-shaped human bones and doesn't want to get close at all.
Torture is better than death. Besides, this isn't a resurrection point. Every time their life energy is drained, their resurrection ability decreases.
Once all their life energy is drained by these crosses, they will be unable to revive and will die completely.
Although they said, "So what if we die? It's better than being tortured by Shen Jue."
But they died with confidence, knowing they would be resurrected.
What they didn't know was that if they died here, they couldn't return to the respawn point.
The inability to return to the resurrection point means that their life energy is not fully replenished.
If one remains in a restricted area for an extended period, and another unexpected event occurs, their life energy could be depleted.
That would truly be considered extremely unlucky, a fate brought with it calamity, destined to die in this place.
At this point, the remaining nine lord bosses finally understood why the bosses who had mistakenly entered the forbidden area had not returned.
Moreover, they have never seen any signs of life since they arrived here.
No wonder there were so many bones on the way to the Land of Bones.
Among those bones, some were their colleagues!
Even if you run that far, you'll still be sucked down to skin and bones.
Could it be that there is something even more terrifying than the human bones on the cross here?
The lords and bosses were all asking questions.
They dared not think too deeply about it and could only try their best to avoid the human bones on the crosses.
However, Shen Jue disagreed with their attempt to hide.
So, the flying lord boss, Shen Jue, controlled him to fly over the cross of human bones and head to the stone tablet on the central platform.
The movement of bosses that cannot fly is directly restricted to prevent them from running around.
She still has a use for these lord bosses; if they run off, it will be very troublesome to manage them later.
They were restricted from the beginning, until she realized that the final one percent was crucial and that it required risking one's life.
It's not too late to exchange them later. Shen Jue's only worry is that the lives of these ten lord bosses won't be enough to fill the remaining one percent.
I should have brought more lord bosses...
Lords and bosses: Fine, fine, so our lives don't matter, huh? Go ahead and wreak havoc all you want. Once you've ruined us, who's going to help you get out of this restricted area?
Shen Jue: Thank you. I have my own little tricks for getting out of the city. I don't need you to give me directions. I can get out on my own.
The lord boss who flew to the central area thought he would surely die if he got close to the stone platform.
Once he was in position, there was no danger at all.
What? What happened?
He was pressed against this stone platform, yet his life energy wasn't absorbed.
He's incredibly lucky; there's no harm in comparison. His luck is much better than that of his unfortunate colleague.
Seeing that the patterned stone platform remained still, Shen Jue controlled the Boss to attack it.
I want to see if the stone platform changes after the attack.
Although the boss was extremely unwilling, his strength was no match for the group control card created by Master Zhijiu.
That's how powerful group control is. Shen Jue felt it was a waste to use this card on these bosses.
However, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, so using this card is the safest option and provides the longest control time.
To ensure that the following operations would not be disturbed, Shen Jue activated the card.
In fact, with her current card-making skills, after learning for a period of time and gaining more proficiency, she will be able to learn the card-making process.
She currently knows how to make 54 different types of cards, and this group control card is exactly the type of card she will learn next in the card-making encyclopedia.
She only has ten of these group control cards left. Each group control card lasts for six hours.
In the past two weeks, she has only used the group control card five times, and those were when she was controlling large areas.
At other times, the most commonly used card is still the standalone control card.
Because she can make individual control cards, she doesn't feel bad about using them.
Now, the next type of card she will learn is the group control card.
This is also the first group control card she needs to learn.
Along the way, the cards for controlling the crowd helped her a lot.
Shen Jue thought that she would frequently use cards related to group control in the future.
Just like now, the target entities controlled by the group control card can each perform their duties and act according to the user's wishes.
However, the effectiveness of group control cards depends on the skill of the card maker.
If the card maker is not skilled, the effect of the ability cards they create will be greatly reduced.
Shen Jue believed that his card-making talent had been unlocked.
There was no reluctance to use the group control card; it was used whenever necessary.
Out with the old, in with the new.
The lord boss finally managed to land its attack on the patterned stone tablet.
Then... the stone tablet remained motionless, while the Boss roared in pain.
Hmm? Something's not right. Why is the Boss reacting so strongly?
Could it be that there's something strange about the patterned stone tablet that she didn't notice?
But the Lord Boss's actions didn't resemble the reaction of having his life energy drained; instead, they looked like he was being beaten up.
That textured stone tablet probably doesn't have any rebounding force!
If that patterned stone tablet possesses a rebounding force, then she will need to carefully consider her next actions before proceeding with further verification.
Since the patterned stone tablet can be destroyed by brute force, only the human bones on the surrounding crosses remain.
Knowing the property of the human bones on the cross to absorb the life energy of living beings, Shen Jue did not allow the Lord Boss to get close on purpose.
If the Boss accidentally dies, and you need to replenish enough life energy to reach the last 1% progress, you'll need to replenish your life energy in one go.
If it's just one more, she'll have to go out and bring in a few more Bosses, which is quite troublesome.
Therefore, without absolute certainty, Shen Jue would not control these lord bosses to approach the cross-shaped human bones.
If it cannot be verified, then that's another story.
Directly control these bosses to attach these cross-shaped human bones.
If that doesn't work, she'll leave the Red Mist Forbidden Zone, go outside, and control some more Lord Bosses to fill the progress bar.
Shen Jue set a verification time of half an hour for herself. If she still couldn't get a result after half an hour, she would take action.
Half an hour later, having found nothing from the exploration, Shen Jue directly ordered the Lord Boss to attach a cross-shaped human bone.
The cross-shaped human skeleton sensed the Boss and was as happy as a wolf smelling meat, binding him tightly and refusing to let go.
After a while, these lord bosses had their life energy absorbed by the cross-shaped human bones, and they were resurrected after dying. The lord bosses whose life energy had been absorbed once before had dropped from elite level to ordinary level.
It turns out that after having one's life energy drained, the first thing to drop is one's own level and strength.
Shen Jue controlled the Lord Boss to approach the cross-shaped human bones for the second time.
This time, controlling the Lord Boss was not so easy. There was a small incident, and Shen Jue encountered a united resistance from the Lord Boss.
Left with no other choice, Shen Jue used a brand new group control card.
The effect is doubled when two control cards are stacked.
There were signs of it trying to break free before, but those have stopped now.
If one control card isn't working well, just get another one.
This was simply a collective rebellion launched by the lord, who did not want to face death.
If their life energy is absorbed by the cross-shaped human bones again, causing them all to be downgraded, it won't be so easy for them to resist her control then.
The strengthened control card caused the rebellious Lord Boss to suffer a mental backlash.
Now, passively following Shen Jue's instructions, they once again affixed the cross and human bones.
This time, the Boss's life energy was drained once again.
The progress bar, which had been silent, finally increased by 0.5%.
Great, only 0.5% left to complete the task.
I estimate that after two more tries, the progress bar will be full.
Just as Shen Jue was once again controlling the newly resurrected Boss to attach the cross-shaped human bones.
Lord Boss: "Wait a minute, I beg you to let us go. Let other lords wreak havoc on us instead. We can help you lure all those lord bosses outside over here!"
The lord boss was forced to speak human language, it seems he was truly driven to the brink and was genuinely afraid of death.
Although the lord begged her for mercy, Shen Jue would not let them off so easily.
Not to mention whether these lords and bosses will turn against her and join forces with other bosses to kill her after she gets out.
She holds grudges; when those lords lured her to the forbidden zone to die, she put them on her death list.
It's just a matter of dying early or late.
The only difference is that this time, after killing them, they truly have no ability to resurrect.
Faced with the enemy's pleas for mercy, Shen Jue maintained a smile and sent them on their way...
Ten minutes later, the lord bosses, whose life energy had been absorbed twice by the cross-shaped human bones, were reduced to the level of minor monsters.
They're still alive! They're incredibly resilient!
Perhaps because their strength level was too low, the life energy absorbed by the cross-shaped human bones was also low, so even after absorbing life energy twice, her progress bar only increased by 0.3%.
It's still 0.2% short, and that 0.2% is really hard to increase!
Shen Jue felt that even if she sacrificed all ten downgraded lord bosses, her progress bar would only be stuck at 99.8%.
This progress bar is a bit like a certain software in the real world, giving you a glimmer of hope, making it seem like you're about to succeed, but in reality, the life energy required is like a bottomless pit.
Success is impossible!
So Shen Jue continued to control these minor boss monsters. Even a small gain is still a gain; sacrificing them might increase the damage by 0.1%.
The bosses, who had been demoted from elite-level lords to low-level monsters, were now in despair. They knew that if their life energy was absorbed by the cross-shaped human bones again, they would undoubtedly die without a trace.
Unexpectedly, after wreaking havoc on so many players, they ultimately met their demise at the hands of the players themselves.
These lords and bosses were extremely unwilling. After this sacrifice, their life energy was drained by the human bones on the cross, leaving them only as fresh skeletons.
It's likely that even the human bones on the cross are ashamed of the Lord Boss's current strength.
They left behind their bones, but absorbed all their flesh and skin.
Another half hour passed!
Shen Jue knew that these bosses would not be resurrected, and her mission progress had increased to 99.9%.
There really is only 0.1% left.
I looked at the side quests; there's no time limit.
This is good enough; it's enough for her to leave here and then control a bunch of lord bosses to come over.
She refused to believe that she could bring over dozens or even hundreds of bosses at once.
He followed the sacrificial path, and was repeatedly sacrificed by her.
This 0.1% progress bar won't fill up completely!
