Chapter 50: Second Assessment Dungeon (9)

This made Su Luo somewhat relieved—everyone was still quite obedient. 

After all, being inexperienced isn’t frightening; what’s truly terrifying is being inexperienced yet stubbornly arrogant.

In that case, no one can save them.

Actually, Su Luo’s luck this time was pretty good.

The two she personally killed were troublemakers, but she had no idea about the character of the first two who died.

Anyway, among the players still in this dungeon, despite their varied personalities and some really strange players, there wasn’t a single person who refused to listen.

Everyone valued their lives very much.

Yun Feibai was now fighting with lightning warfare, always targeting the elite monsters with the lowest health and closest distance, striving to have everyone focus fire and eliminate one elite monster at a time.

Such swift action made the Boss a bit panicked.

It ordered the elite monsters to scatter, while itself launched a fireball meteor shower at the group.

For a moment, the map was filled with flying skills—white, red, yellow, and black lights dazzling the eyes.

This was a hunt and counter-hunt, a process of encirclement and breaking free.

What was being tested was the commander’s reaction speed and the executors’ mobility.

Under Yun Feibai’s perfect command and everyone’s full cooperation, the elite monsters were wiped out within two minutes.

Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief—this big move was endured; the following should be easier.

However, after a while, Su Luo realized things were not as she had thought.

Everyone’s health was gradually dropping into the yellow zone, even though Su Luo had been healing and replenishing blood at full capacity!

This made her keenly realize that the Boss’s attack was increasing, and her healing output was gradually insufficient.

It wasn’t just her—Yun Feibai also noticed.

He shouted, “The Boss’s attack is increasing, everyone, speed up the damage!”

With that, he quickly pulled out a Yellow Potion from his personal space and swallowed it before resuming the attack.

Thanks to Yun Feibai’s warning, others suddenly noticed the problem.

Because there had been strong healing protection earlier, no one had checked their health bars for a long time.

It was only now they realized that the previously green health bars had turned yellow.

Everyone panicked.

They had been leisurely fighting the monsters before, thinking they could finish them anyway, no need to rush.

Now that they found the Boss’s attack power could increase, they stopped holding back on potions—Red Potions and Yellow Potions were swallowed rapidly, then everyone resumed attacking the Boss swiftly.

In this atmosphere, no one slacked off anymore.

Under the onslaught, the Boss’s health dropped rapidly.

When the Boss’s health was finally low, it let out roars of rage.

Everyone held their breath, knowing from past experience that the Boss was about to unleash a big move.

Sure enough, the Boss suddenly emitted a dazzling glow, its entire body like a small sun, illuminating the entire dungeon.

It roared loudly while shining brightly.

Yun Feibai suddenly shouted, “Quick, drink Red Potions!”

Only then did Su Luo realize that the Boss’s roars were causing her health to rapidly and continuously drop.

She hurriedly activated her Skill One on herself, then quickly drank a Red Potion.

Once the cooldown was over, she refreshed Yun Feibai with Skill One as well.

Only then did she realize how crucial Red Potions really were.

After all, no matter how powerful the priest, they can’t keep everyone at full health under all circumstances.

In such times, Red Potions can save players from life-or-death situations—it’s an indispensable item.

Fortunately, they still had a few Red Potions left, and with Su Luo focusing on healing herself and Yun Feibai, the two managed to maintain green health throughout the Boss’s ultimate move.

As for the others, it was much worse.

With health rapidly dropping, no one cared about saving potions anymore and started taking them frantically.

Luckily, because four players had died very early on, everyone’s loot in this dungeon was abundant.

Plus, they had prepared many Red Potions before entering, so their supplies were still sufficient.

By the time the Boss finished its ultimate, no one had died.

Only Su Luo and Yun Feibai remained in green health; everyone else’s health had dropped to red.

Everyone breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief.

One more hit like that and they wouldn’t have held on!

However, just as everyone relaxed their guard, the Boss suddenly shot out eight small fireballs, each aimed at a different player.

Yun Feibai reacted quickly and shouted, “Dodge!”

Su Luo had already reacted as soon as Yun Feibai shouted “Quick,” instantly rolling to avoid the fireball aimed at her position.

But for the others, Yun Feibai’s warning came a bit too late, and they didn’t react in time.

Xing Xing Bu Kong was extremely unlucky and was hit by a fireball.

Little Fairy screamed, “Brother Xing Xing!”

But her brother had already turned into a streak of white light and disappeared.

Everyone was speechless.

This was a simple attack, yet because of their carelessness, someone had died.

The teammate who had been fighting side by side with them a second ago had now turned into a white light.

After about five seconds of silence, Yun Feibai was the first to resume attacking the Boss, and the others followed quietly.

Though Xing Xing Bu Kong’s death was regrettable, they wouldn’t give up their own benefit for someone not too closely related.

Only Little Fairy crouched at the spot where Xing Xing Bu Kong vanished, holding her arms and crying bitterly.

Su Luo comforted her with a gentle pat on the head without saying much, then resumed healing everyone.

***

Soon, the Boss entered its truly critical phase.

Its health was extremely low—almost at a point where one Skill One could finish it off.

Everyone knew it was time to compete for the Boss kill.

All eyes fixed on the Boss; no one dared to act rashly, fearing any mistake might cause them to miss the chance.

Su Luo and Yun Feibai had actually been calculating the Boss’s health the entire time.

The two exchanged a secret glance, both seeing the same number—50.

At this moment, their combined damage had already exceeded 50, so their cooperation was about to be tested.

Yun Feibai and Su Luo exchanged a look, and Su Luo understood immediately.

She said, “If you all don’t move, I’ll heal the Boss first.”

Everyone knew priests don’t heal the Boss, so they all burst out laughing, the tension and anger from moments ago eased considerably.

Sure enough, Su Luo released a Skill One.

No one paid attention because everyone was clear the Boss’s health wouldn’t die from one hit.

In other words, someone had to be the first to strike, so that they could all finish the Boss in one blow.

But who wanted to be that first strike?

As Su Luo’s skill was about to hit the Boss, Yun Feibai suddenly charged forward and released his Skill One.

Everyone was shocked—why did Yun Feibai rush out first?

Didn’t he want to compete for the Boss kill?

Why such kindness?

But there was no time to think.

Seeing someone take the lead, everyone quickly released their skills.

Yet, what was the use?

The one truly taking the lead was Su Luo, and the second to act was Yun Feibai.

Right after releasing her Skill One, Su Luo opened the Task Panel.

As expected, when Yun Feibai’s skill landed on the Boss, all their tasks were completed.

Sure enough, when the Boss turned into white light and disappeared, Su Luo’s Task Panel refreshed.

[During this dungeon, player [Xing Xing Bu Kong] died. Do you agree to resurrect him? [Yes/No] ]

At this moment, Little Fairy was very excited.

She hadn’t expected that this dungeon would have one resurrection right, meaning her Brother Xing Xing might be revived!

She quickly clicked [Yes] and waited for Brother Xing Xing to resurrect.

But after two seconds, Xing Xing Bu Kong still hadn’t appeared.

She looked back at the prompt.

Only now did she realize that all players must agree for her Brother Xing Xing to be resurrected.

Ah, so she would have to wait!

But soon, worry crept in again.

They had offended many people in this dungeon—Lost, Yun Feibai, and also Crossword Silent.

The system said all must agree for Brother Xing Xing to resurrect.

Little Fairy felt it was very likely many wouldn’t agree.

She had never regretted offending so many people before.

She and Brother Xing had treated every player as part of the story.

If they didn’t help her, they were evil villains.

If they did help, it was only natural since everyone should serve the protagonist!

Only now did she suddenly realize that everyone had their own thoughts, and she couldn’t control them.

No one revolved around her.
