Chapter 245: Snagging Another First Kill
That pair of soft, yet slightly bluish hands was about to grab Yu Jiang’s neck.
The young woman with a pale and seductive face opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow fangs.
Shi Xu couldn’t come to support, and if the BOSS positioning went wrong at this critical moment, it would be hard to recover, and everyone’s previous efforts would be in vain.
Lightning Mage King was anxious and sweating profusely; his weapon hadn’t finished charging.
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy gathered strength and pounced forward. The vampire saw her as soft and powerless, impossible to push away. In desperation, she blocked its mouth with the suona and dragged it backward.
The vampire’s limbs struggled frantically, but even the hardest teeth couldn’t bite through the copper tube. Bound Weapon: where the person is, the weapon is; as long as the person doesn’t die, the weapon won’t break.
Yu Jiang’s healing skill cast bar ended. She pulled out the bayonet and stabbed through its chest.
It was just a few seconds from start to finish; the teammates didn’t even have time to communicate, all relying on emergency reaction ability.
As soon as Pure Love Cockroach left, Lightning Mage King immediately filled her position, using electric discharge to intercept small monsters. Shi Xu took advantage of the momentum to turn themselves and the BOSS around, neither leaving Yu Jiang’s healing skill range nor letting the BOSS’s attacks hit teammates.
The vampire BOSS had heaven-defying self-healing ability and came with rapid healing skill, but its attacks were simple and brutal, pure melee strength attacks.
No need to watch its skill timers or command; just go all out directly.
The stone pillar’s health bar was at 3%, 2%. The next second, Yu Jiang was grabbed by the neck by an elite monster and slammed into the stone pillar.
Before switching the bayonet to counterattack, she endured the pain of suffocation and smashed down the final hammer with all her might.
Rumble—
This vampire old man had smashed the dome glass once upon appearing, and now knocked down another pillar. The ground shook violently, with debris from the overhead structure clanging down.
The vampire BOSS was pinned under the stone pillar. At the same time, Yu Jiang and the elite monster were flung outward together.
Just before her skull hit the sharp broken glass on the window edge, she switched her crowbar to the bayonet. The seemingly fragile White Crystal Blade sliced through the vampire’s body like cutting vegetables.
Protection prop card and realm card were thrown out one after another.
The realm card was one of her few high level prop cards; it hurt to use it.
This card could pull her and the target into a special realm. The surrounding environment wouldn’t change, but within the time limit, no external attacks could hit her or the target.
When one side dies, the realm automatically dissipates.
This card could only be used on monsters; otherwise, Yu Jiang wouldn’t bear to use it here.
A large group of vampires burrowed out from underground in the garden and rushed in through the broken windows.
Yu Jiang stabbed the vampire once more, dispelled the realm, and gave all the holy water she found to her teammates.
At this moment, everyone took advantage of the BOSS being pinned and smashed holy water upward, hitting it with whatever attacks they had.
Her weapon had higher output efficiency against this type of monster than Shi Xu. Amid the vampires’ angry roars, they beat the BOSS soundly.
The 500 health bar finally dropped to 50, and its self-healing ability began to wane.
Of course, a mere stone pillar couldn’t pin it for long. The moment the holy water was depleted, it directly carried the stone pillar—that could crush a human skull—and flew up.
“Retreat fast!” Yu Jiang warned her teammates two seconds early. She herself took the chance to stab it once more.
More output meant profit!
The stone pillar shattered, and stone blocks smashed toward them. Everyone retreated upon receiving the order, finding nearby cover.
After the sounds of heavy objects crashing to the ground, they looked around: the once gorgeous, mysterious building was now littered with stone blocks and broken glass, as if it had been shelled by cannons.
The vampire wasn’t a mindless monster driven only by instinct. Seeing the situation turn bad and knowing Yu Jiang’s team had wooden stakes, it immediately tried to flee.
Grab people first to feed and replenish energy for recovery—then these people would die. That was its plan, but Yu Jiang’s Team definitely couldn’t let him go, or it would all be for nothing.
Shi Xu took the lead, jumping out the window in pursuit. Yu Jiang and the other three followed closely.
This position had a bit of height, with stone pavement below. In the pitch black, missing the landing could mean a concussion.
Yu Jiang tied a piece of scavenged hemp rope, sliding down halfway before jumping the rest—not wasting much time, but safer.
She absolutely couldn’t sprain or break bones. Without the White Crystal Bayonet’s output, the BOSS’s last few dozen health points couldn’t be taken down.
Yu Jiang opened the light screen, tracking Shi Xu’s position while adjusting direction to chase forward.
There were many newly emerged vampires here. Before Yu Jiang caught up, she first spotted players 8 and 9; they were surrounded like dumplings.
She didn’t want to waste energy on these vampire minions, but the path was blocked—going around would take more time.
Yu Jiang gripped her weapon tightly and quickly dealt with two vampires. Players 8 and 9 saw the blade in her hand, envy flashing in their eyes simultaneously.
She actually had such a good weapon!
“The left side is the cemetery; they all just crawled out from underground. How about we team up to fight our way out?” Player 8 looked at Yu Jiang expectantly.
“Sure, one direction each.” Yu Jiang didn’t miss the ruthless glint in the other’s eyes.
As the three stood back-to-back, Player 8 reached out to grab Yu Jiang and push her into the vampire horde.
But before she could touch Yu Jiang, the long whip with stinger sliced through the night sky. Player 8 cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
At that moment, pairs of green eyes appeared in the darkness behind her.
They were instantly surrounded, followed by shrill screams echoing through the manor.
Yu Jiang remained unfazed and continued toward her teammates’ position.
Pushing allies to attract monsters was pretty immoral, but they had planned to do it first.
Yu Jiang ran breathlessly and finally caught up.
She still had a primary healing potion off cooldown. After using it, she immediately joined the fray, coordinating attacks with Shi Xu from left and right. Lightning Mage King hadn’t arrived yet, but lightning struck first.
The BOSS was hit, but being close, her hand got zapped too.
“6.” Yu Jiang sighed. This kid was just like her—good at hitting himself and teammates.
Just 10 health left, and the BOSS health line would drop below 20.
“Nail it with the wooden stake directly; I’ll bring its health down—just now!” Yu Jiang said.
She had given the wooden stake to Shi Xu earlier.
“Got it.” Shi Xu responded, grabbing the wooden stake and charging.
If this item wasn’t used when the BOSS health was below 20, it would be wasted.
Even so, Shi Xu’s movements showed no hesitation whatsoever.
Just before the wooden stake pierced the BOSS’s chest, Yu Jiang’s blade stabbed into the BOSS’s abdomen, dropping the health points exactly below 20.
The two completed the mission almost simultaneously; if either had been a bit slower, they both would have been done for.
Yu Jiang, not taking chances, pulled out a stone and smashed the wooden stake deeper.
The BOSS roared and turned into a charred mummy. The ashes didn’t scatter. Yu Jiang took a deep breath, marveling inwardly: as expected of a BOSS—it wasn’t dead, just sealed.
But the BOSS challenge mission prompt showed completed.
At the same time, the entire zone announcement: [Congratulations to players ‘The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain’, ‘X’, ‘Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy’, and ‘Lightning Mage King’ for killing the ‘Misty Mountain Villa’ instance BOSS and achieving the entire zone first kill.]
