68: Chapter 68 Little Snow Milk It
This shout didn't just stun Zhao Yun and the others.
Even Xiaoxue was dumbfounded.
Her hand movements stopped subconsciously.
But the next second, a loud noise brought her back to her senses completely.
Immediately after, Jiang He's shout came: "Xiaoxue, don't stop, keep healing it."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxue's cheeks turned bright red with anger: "Wuwu... I've already said it, this is called a Healing Spell, not... that."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Annoyed, she immediately cast Healing Spell repeatedly.
But then, everyone noticed something unusual.
The giant ape's speed seemed to be getting slower and slower, and one could even see sparks flying from the rotation of internal gears through the gaps in its armor?
At this moment, Bai Luoyao smiled and pointed out: "It's suffering from energy overload."
"Energy overload?"
"??????"
Just as everyone was confused, Mumu suddenly shouted: "I understand now! It's a semi-mechanical entity. Although Healing Spell is a health-restoration skill, for mechanical creatures, it acts as an energy supplement. While mechanical bodies are tough and require a lot of energy to drive, a sudden influx of too much energy will cause the machinery to overload, making the internal components unable to bear the load, which leads to short circuits or burnout."
Clapping sounds... The few men couldn't help but applaud one after another.
"As expected, a top student is just different." Zhao Yun smiled bitterly.
This truly lived up to the saying: If you master mathematics, physics, and chemistry, you can travel the world without fear.
Fighting a BOSS is no exception.
At this time, because the giant ape's speed was visibly slowing down, Jiang He successfully pulled away to a safe distance and then shouted at the crowd: "Stop chatting, you guys! Someone come over and take the aggro away from me."
"Oh, oh, coming!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately rushed up with his giant axe, gripped it with both hands, and slammed it into the giant ape's leg.
"Hiss..." The huge recoil made his wrists go numb.
But this strike successfully attracted the giant ape's attention, and the aggro instantly shifted.
"You fool, run!" Jiang He shouted urgently.
He had assumed Zhao Yun understood his plan.
But after striking, Zhao Yun actually froze in place for a moment.
Hearing Jiang He's shout, he suddenly jolted awake and bolted.
The giant ape dragged its heavy body and began to chase him at an extremely slow speed.
Afterward, once Jiang He was free, he quickly came to Xiaoxue's side and praised her: "Xiaoxue, well done. You're the MVP this time."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... At the same time, he also switched to Healing Spell to join the healing plan.
Receiving such affirmative praise, a joyful smile immediately bloomed on Xiaoxue's face.
Since playing this game, she felt like a tool.
She had no attack power.
Even though she could heal, she rarely had the opportunity to show it.
The teammates around her either had explosive damage or sharp operations, either killing others in seconds or being killed themselves.
She rarely had moments to cast skills.
But at this moment, she finally experienced a strong sense of satisfaction from influencing the battle based on her own abilities.
Although she couldn't see the intuitive thrill of the monster's health gradually decreasing, the feeling of this giant mechanical monster being paralyzed by her spells also made her extremely excited.
With the continuous coordination between Xiaoxue and Jiang He, the giant ape's movements had slowed down as if in slow motion, and even taking a step seemed incredibly difficult.
At the same time, dazzling sparks were densely bursting out around its massive body, accompanied by muffled cracking sounds from within.
Behind them, Blood Blade, Old Demon, Mumu, and Li Qing watched with excitement, clapping and shouting:
"Go Xiaoxue, heal it until it explodes."
"Go Xiaoxue, heal it."
"Heal it... heal it... heal it to death."
The group shouted the slogan in unison.
Hearing their words, Xiaoxue's cheeks were already flushed red.
But her hands didn't stop at all, and she focused intently on casting Healing Spell, following Jiang He's rhythm.
At this moment, a panting Zhao Yun passed by them and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't... don't just shout slogans, hurry... hurry and switch someone, I... I can't run anymore."
Zhao Yun never dreamed that one day, playing a game would make him as tired as running a marathon.
The next second, Mumu suddenly raised her foot and lightly kicked Li Qing on the butt.
"You go, let Brother Zhao Yun take a break."
Li Qing stumbled and fell forward, landing right in front of the giant ape's heavy footsteps.
He let out an exaggerated cry, "Awoo," slashed his axe hard at the giant ape's toe, and then turned and ran for his life.
This continued for about twenty minutes.
The giant ape's massive body suddenly stiffened in place, letting out a final low hiss from its throat.
Its entire body suddenly began to shake violently, and a dense, rain-like series of popping and cracking sounds rang out one after another.
In an instant, countless metal parts burning with electric sparks, mixed with shattered structures, exploded out from all over its body.
Immediately after, the giant ape's huge eyes, which had been glowing red, completely dimmed and turned pitch black in dead silence.
The health bar above its head instantly cleared to zero a second later.
But it didn't fall, standing silently in place like a steel colossus that had lost its soul.
[Congratulations to player Jiang He's team for successfully challenging the dungeon: Cage of the Fallen Titan (Advanced). The whole team is rewarded with EXP..., First Kill Treasure Chest * 8]
White light flickered around everyone, and the glow of leveling up instantly enveloped them.
Jiang He, Mumu, and Li Qing leveled up three times.
Xiao Yao, Xiaoxue, Zhao Yun, and Old Demon leveled up one and a half times.
Only Blood Blade's EXP bar only jumped up by half a notch.
However, this was not unexpected. As a level 40 player, the EXP required for his leveling up was much greater than that of the other teammates.
Everyone couldn't wait to gather around the giant ape's wreckage.
The ground was shining with golden light.
3000 silver coins, 130 gold coins.
When they cast their eyes on the dropped equipment, everyone almost cried out in excitement.
Thunder Rage Staff: Level 40 Mage equipment.
Flame Robe: Level 40 Mage equipment.
shadow strike sword: Level 35 Warrior equipment.
Star Set parts (Level 35): One glove, one ring, one pair of boots, and one belt each.
There were also several enhancement stones, diamond stones, and 5 precious rubies.
This haul could be called a bumper harvest.
Of course, no one picked up the equipment without permission; everyone left it for Jiang He, that cheater, to pick up.
In case his recharge talent triggered, that would be a double surprise.
However, the result left everyone slightly disappointed.
The recharge only triggered once, for that Thunder Rage Staff.
It was upgraded from the initial Tier 2 to Tier 4.
But this was enough to shock everyone.
A Level 40 Tier 4 staff?
Once Bai Luoyao's level is high enough to equip it, wouldn't her combat power skyrocket?
"Brother, come quick and see what this is!" Mumu, who had been carefully searching near the giant ape's wreckage, suddenly shouted.
A small pile of card-like items was scattered on the ground.
Jiang He quickly stepped forward to look and was instantly so excited he almost jumped up.
50 Equipment Advancement Cards?
Everyone knew that for Jiang He, who possessed artifact-like initial equipment, conventional equipment didn't mean much.
weapon advancement cards and Equipment Advancement Cards were his most core growth resources.
"That's great, Da He, your equipment can be upgraded now." Zhao Yun also shouted with a face full of joy.
Jiang He took a deep breath, quickly calmed his surging emotions, and carefully put away the precious advancement cards.
Afterward, he began to distribute the other equipment according to needs.
The Tier 4 Thunder Rage Staff and Flame Robe were naturally given to the main mage, Bai Luoyao.
As for the remaining shadow strike sword, they originally considered giving it to Old Demon, but Old Demon already had a weapon of the same model.
After everyone discussed it, they decided to give it to Blood Blade.
The remaining diamond stones, various materials, and game currency were split equally among all team members.
No one had any objections to Jiang He's distribution plan.
Immediately after, the group stepped out of the dungeon portal together.
Before they could even see the scene outside, they were surrounded by a massive crowd of players, blocking them completely, all asking at once:
"Big brother, how did you pass the dungeon? Please give us a guide."
"Yeah, Great God, give us some pointers, can you give us a guide?"
Just at this moment, a stern reprimand came from the edge of the crowd:
"All of you, move aside! Instead of properly improving yourselves, grinding maps, or doing quests, what are you all gathering here for? When the beast tide arrives, what will you use to resist?"
Gu Qingming walked in with his hands behind his back, carrying the unique dignity of a superior.
He walked straight up to Jiang He, scanned the surroundings, then lowered his voice and coughed twice:
"Ahem... that, the guide... remember to send me a copy later."
