Introduction: the guardian of the fifth floor of the grand underground grave, ordered by the ruler of the grand underground grave, came to guard the City of Gloom

The guardian of the fifth floor of the underground palace was a BOSS of mage type. Its damage was extremely high. Besides that, as a mage, not only the attack was ranged, but the scope of skills was also large. It was absolutely more difficult to deal with than the archer BOSS on the second floor!

Xiao Feng certainly dared not to mess with it alone. The difference between each level of BOSS was great. He could deal with ordinary BOSS or elite BOSS, but he must be able to create an uninjured positioning for rare BOSS and silver BOSS. Also, he needed to avoid mage BOSS and archer BOSS who had a lot of AoE skills.

As for the golden BOSS or above, the ordinary players could only detoured if they met them. An ordinary player could never deal with it alone, even a group of ordinary players could not defeat it.

Let alone this was a BOSS of faerie type!

Even he was Xiao Feng, he could not make it. The archer guardian on the second floor of underground palace just killed Xiao Feng with an arrow. If he did not rely on the head-mitigation property of the Dragon’s Skull, and used the method of “heading the ball” to receive continuous attacks, it was impossible for Xiao Feng to deal with the archer guardian.

Xiao Feng’s DPS was undoubtedly high. He could kill a guardian of the underground palace by using two healing skills in four waves. It would only take less than two minutes. This DPS ability was astonishingly strong.

But Xiao Feng himself could not resist the damage from a BOSS of faerie type. After all, he had the player’s property. Even with many artifacts, he could not resist the attack from a faerie BOSS for a long time. He could only cast various invincible skills and use positioning to stall for time, and evacuated as soon as the skills started to cooldown. Otherwise, there was absolutely a risk of death.

Even Xiao Feng was like this, let alone other players. This was the reason why War Spirit Knife detoured but not attacked the faerie BOSS when they saw it.

It was not that they did not want to attack. The spoils of defeating the faerie BOSS was absolutely amazing, but the problem was that they could not defeat it! Many players got themselves killed with attacking this level of BOSS. If there was no special strategy, the advanced BOSS could only be defeated after the player’s level increased.

Xiao Feng was waiting for Captain Bolton to snap aggro. Xiao Feng only dared to attack after letting Captain Bolton to resist the damage. Dealing with the guardian of the fifth floor of the underground palace, the mage BOSS, was not as easy as dealing with the shield warrior BOSS on the third floor of the underground palace. The shield warrior BOSS basically did not have any ranged skill, even the distance of its AoE skills was limited. Xiao Feng could then deal with the guardian on the third floor of the underground palace with few scruples, because the only thing he needed to do was to pull away.

But mage BOSS was different. Xiao Feng even could not hide from the ranged AoE skills, because he was surrounded by people on the battlefield, there was no space for him to hide.

“Master Healer, you are deliberately looking for this BOSS. Do you have any key mission?”

The tone of War Spirit Ziyi was a bit strange, and War Spirit Knife hurriedly came to rescue and asked Xiao Feng.

“Not really. This BOSS would drop exclusive artifact set. There was another BOSS in the battlefield, called the guardian of the fourth floor of the underground palace, you guys also help me pay attention to it please.” They were not outsiders, so Xiao Feng did not hide.

“Your artifact Dragon Suit!” War Spirit Knife immediately exclaimed. The artifacts owned by Xiao Feng on the equipment list all had the name of Dragon. It was not difficult to guess.

“Unfortunately, we are unable to deal with the faerie BOSS even if it can drop artifacts. We should just go to find some small BOSS and get some ordinary equipment and improve our achievement points. Master Healer, we’ll leave first.”

Then War Spirit Knife shook his head and said goodbye to Xiao Feng. Since he knew that the faerie BOSS would drop an artifact set that Xiao Feng needed, he did not want a share any more. It was better to kill a few some bosses as soon as possible. A small BOSS also had possibility of dropping artifacts with a battlefield mission having a drop rate in 10 times.

Let alone the artifact, they would be too happy to go to sleep if an immortal equipment was dropped. Because there were less than 10 immortal equipment on the equipment list among hundreds of millions of players in the entire Huaxia District.

War Spirit Ziyi also left with everyone in the War Spirit Hall, but he looked at Xiao Feng ruefully before leaving, which made Xiao Feng confused.

Xiao Feng shook his head and did not care too much. He continued to focus on the guardian of the fifth floor of the underground palace, waiting for Captain Bolton to pull the hatred points.

It was also a level 30 faerie BOSS, but the difference was huge. For example, the shield warrior guardian had the most health points among all the guardians of the palace, which was 200,000, but Captain Bolton’s health points were 300,000!

This showed that Captain Bolton’s strength was far above the ordinary BOSS of the same level. Thus, the holy attribute had an effect of damage addition to the undead attribute, so the damage that Captain Bolton caused to the guardian of the fifth floor of the underground palace was high. He could cause thousands of damages in one attack!

But the problem was that even the high damage like this was too low for Xiao Feng, because the damage of Xiao Feng’s Holy Light Skill was more than 40,000, and it would be greater than 60,000 with the help of shadow word. This kind of damage would immediately pull the hatred to him, so Xiao Feng could only wait for Captain Bolton to stabilize the hatred points first. Otherwise it was meaningless to let Captain Bolton to resist damages in the front row.

Xiao Feng suddenly remembered that he should buff Captain Bolton when he was waiting anxiously, so that Captain Bolton’s damages immediately increased significantly.

“We have destroyed the gate’s defenses! Let’s go!”

“Go! Kill the BOSS! Grab the equipment!”

Suddenly, the thundering shouts broke out not far away. Xiao Feng looked in the direction of the battlefield in a distance, and found that the durability of the southern gate turned to 0 under the constant attack from the NPC coalition, and the gate finally collapsed.

Then people from each major guild rushed into the city without waiting for NPC coalition to take action. People’s shouting was sounded inside the city suddenly.

“Bolton! Come on, go for it!”

Xiao Feng was slightly anxious. The battle outside the city was basically coming to an end. The player’s armed forces and the NPC coalition had a clear division of responsibilities. The players dealt with the creeps and the small BOSS, while the NPC coalition was in charge of the advanced BOSS. The Dark Legion only had some advanced BOSS left on the battlefield under the suppression of a great number of players. The low-level armed forces could not resist the attack from these players.

This also caused the battlefield outside the city being drawn to a close. While the battles had started inside the city and many players followed the coalition and entered the city together.

This was the fighting strength that the number of players in Huaxia District brought to. Although the number of soldiers in the armed forces of the Dark Legion was great, it was still less than the number of players. The number of players who participated in this battlefield mission was 1/10 of the entire players in Huaxia District!

But here’s also the problem. As the battlefield outside the city became clear, advanced BOSS showed up one after another. However, there was no guardian of the fourth floor of the underground palace.

This only meant that the guardian of the fourth floor of the underground palace was inside the city, so Xiao Feng had to get rid of the guardian of the fifth floor of the underground palace and entered the City of Gloom as soon as possible. Otherwise, changes would occur at any time.

“Judgment of the holy sword!

“Impact of the holy shield!

After receiving the message from Xiao Feng, Captain Bolton took actions immediately. He then cast a few skills, resulting in a sudden and huge decline in the health points of the guardians of the fifth floor of the underground palace. The damage was considerable!

“Holy Light Skill!

Xiao Feng also couldn’t wait. He estimated that the hatred points of Captain Bolton was about to be full, so he immediately waved the damaged sage staff and cast a holy light skill on the guardian of the fifth floor of the underground palace!

“Ho!”

“-32400!”

With a roar from the guardian of the fifth floor of the underground palace, a scarlet damage of more than 30,000 rose immediately above its head. Its health bar decreased drastically, but its target of attack did not change.

However, Xiao Feng did not continue to attack, because he just suddenly heard a surprised system prompt.

“Ding! Affected by the increased proficiency of healing skills, your weapon damaged sage staff has begun to awaken and upgraded into a bleak sage staff!”

Xiao Feng had been practicing the proficiency of the sage staff all the time, and it finally increased at the moment! This artifact weapon was finally coming back!

The properties of the sage staff had indeed changed!

Although there were only small changes to the basic attributes, it’s a good sign! It showed that this artifact weapon could fix itself! One day it would turn back to the original properties of an artifact!

Xiao Feng overexcited, it was worthwhile for him to give up other weapons with better attributes and bring this artifact that was weaker than an entry-level weapon for so long. It finally gave him a little return!

“Shadow Word!”

“-1620！”

“-1620！”

“-1620！”

…

Xiao Feng couldn’t wait and cast a shadow word against the guardian of the fifth floor of the underground palace. The health bar of it immediately began to drop drastically again!

The strength of Captain Bolton was not weak. After Xiao Feng casting his two skills, the hatred target of the Boss did not change. But the guardian of the fifth floor of the underground palace raged once. The scope of its AoE skills was so horrible that it almost drowned Captain Bolton.

Its skills caused a drop of tens of thousands of Captain Bolton’s health points. The damage was indeed horrible. Xiao Feng kept sweating as he looked at that. Fortunately, Captain Bolton’s health points were enough for resisting against the attack. He did not need Xiao Feng’s help to increase his HP.
