32: Chapter 32 Team Upgrade

Along the way, Blood Blade's loud voice never stopped.

"See that? My axe just now! Cut down seven or eight in one swing." He spoke animatedly, his arms tracing exaggerated arcs.

Little Snow tried several times to get a word in, but simply couldn't find an opening.

I had always thought Little Snow was the chatterbox.

But compared to Blood Blade here, she didn't even get a chance to interrupt.

Blood Blade threw an arm around the neck of Zhao Yun, who was walking with his head down: "Old Zhao! We're both shield users! Look at my combat power, you need to step it up!"

Zhao Yun's face darkened further: "Right, right, you're strong, you're the best."

They were both the Knight class, but the other guy cleaved through swathes of enemies, while he just held up a shield in the back like a moving roadblock... The psychological shadow this cast was bigger than any boss.

"We're here!" Jiang He called out.

The group stopped at the edge of a cliff.

On the opposite side, Old Demon was waving anxiously: "Over here!"

The distance wasn't far, and the few of them easily leaped across.

"What's going on? How did you even find this place?" Jiang He asked.

He found it very strange; he had noticed something off on the way here.

This area didn't seem to be within the map's displayed range?

The map currently provided by the system only showed the area surrounding Chang'an City for several hundred li; other regions were blacked out.

Yet their current location was precisely within that blacked-out area.

"I... I discovered it by accident too. Let's just talk about the boss!"

Old Demon immediately changed the subject.

It turned out he had passed by this place earlier and saw a massive creature flash by on this side of the cliff.

He then stealthily approached to take a peek.

The result was actually a giant serpent, and a world-class boss at that.

He couldn't handle it alone, and figured rather than letting outsiders benefit, it was better to let Jiang He have the advantage.

Zhao Yun walked over and patted his shoulder: "Old Demon, you're quite savvy, huh? That's the way. After all, we're brothers who've fought together; you gotta think of us when there's good stuff."

Old Demon nodded, then his eyes drifted to the side and he exclaimed in surprise: "Blood Blade?"

"Huh? You know him?"

Old Demon shook his head: "No, I don't. It's just surprising. Isn't he the number one on the rankings?"

Next, Blood Blade launched into his own one-man talk show.

Old Demon, who had initially been quite interested in him, instantly lost all enthusiasm.

The group followed Old Demon deeper into the cold, gloomy forest.

Hiss...

The icy sound of scales rubbing together made one's scalp crawl.

Pushing aside the last giant fern leaf.

[World-Class Boss · Spirit Snake Feilian (Lv35)]

[HP: 200,000]

[Attack Power: 20,000]

[Poison Miasma Domain: Lose 500 HP per second, Movement/Attack Speed -30%]

"Two hundred thousand HP? Twenty thousand attack?" Bai Luoyao gasped in shock.

With her and her sister's mere 2000 HP, they wouldn't last four seconds in the poison mist.

A sense of despair filled their hearts.

This boss... was too tough to chew.

"Haha, been waiting for this. Charge!"

Blood Blade, who at some point was already holding his axe, rushed forward.

"Come back, it's dangerous," Old Demon warned.

But Blood Blade had already charged up to Feilian and swung his axe down with a backhanded strike.

Critical Damage -15000

"???"

"..."

Old Demon was stunned.

Just what kind of team was this?

Was everyone's damage this ridiculously high?

Boom, a loud crash.

Feilian swung its serpent tail, striking Blood Blade and sending him flying several meters on the spot.

-3000

"???"

"..."

This time, it was Jiang He's turn to be shocked.

"Forget his high damage for a moment... is his defense that high too? A twenty-thousand damage attack only took off three thousand of his HP?"

"Hey, stop staring and help out!" Blood Blade shouted, turning his head.

He was furious. He had already started the fight.

Yet his teammates were still standing there dumbfounded?

"Little Snow, focus heals on Blood Blade. Xiao Yao, ranged DPS, stay away from the poison mist."

"Old Zhao, you're responsible for interception. If the boss charges, you spam Taunt like your life depends on it."

"Old Demon, with me."

Jiang He quickly arranged the battle plan.

Everyone nodded.

Jiang He charged forward first, activating Dark Injury Poison.

Sssst!

The dagger precisely pierced into a gap between the snake's scales.

-10000

-2000 (Severe Poison begins ticking)

Old Demon followed closely behind, his greatsword cleaving down on the serpent's tail.

-1500

Seeing his own damage value.

His old face flushed slightly red. This bit of damage was like tickling compared to the two killing gods in front of him.

Feilian flew into a rage, its massive body coiling and expanding.

Thick, ink-like poison mist gushed out from the gaps between all its scales.

"Not good, it's the poison mist! Retreat quickly!" Old Demon covered his nose and retreated hastily.

Jiang He performed alimit backflip, barely escaping the edge of the poison cloud.

Only Blood Blade got up and continued fighting.

"Huh? Why is the poison mist having no effect on him?" Old Demon wondered.

At this moment, Jiang He also noticed a faint red glow emanating from Blood Blade's body.

This light seemed to be resisting the poison mist.

"Hurry up and think of something, my skill won't last much longer!"

Blood Blade shouted, swinging his axe down again as he spoke.

-12000

Under his fierce assault, combined with Dark Injury Poison.

Feilian's HP plummeted rapidly.

"Jiang He, can you hold out for 30 seconds?" Old Demon said urgently.

Jiang He glanced at Feilian, then nodded: "I'll try." He then jumped to the side and switched to Blood Speech Technique (Heal).

Immediately after, countless beams of healing holy light fell upon Blood Blade's head.

HP +300

"What the hell? Are you kidding me?" Blood Blade yelled.

Jiang He's old face reddened. His attack was indeed high, but this healing effect was really a bit... underwhelming.

At that moment, another wave of healing holy light descended upon Blood Blade's head.

HP +200

It was Little Snow casting her skill from the side.

Although the healing rate was slow, with both of them healing Blood Blade simultaneously, they could manage to keep him up for the time being.

Meanwhile, Old Demon walked to the side, plunged his longsword into the ground, and began chanting an incantation.

"Whoa? Isn't he a Warrior? How can he chant?" Zhao Yun exclaimed in shock.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Bai Luoyao threw out several fireballs.

"Jiang He and Blood Blade have their secrets, so naturally Old Demon does too. There's nothing to be surprised about."

A few days ago, Bai Luoyao had received news from the technical team.

Based onspeculation, Celestial Realm definitely had more than just four classes.

It was just that, for some reason, players simply couldn't choose them.

However, it couldn't be ruled out that some players might haveSerendipity and obtained hidden classes.

The first person Bai Luoyao thought of was Jiang He.

Having fought alongside him for so long, whether it was his skills or his damage, they far exceeded the standard for a Priest.

And the Blood Blade and Old Demon before her eyes likely weren't ordinary classes either.

Suddenly, the red glow around Blood Blade dissipated.

"Damn it," several people behind him shouted.

Immediately after, a beam of holy light descended, enveloping the battlefield.

Old Demon was seen with his palms pressed together, raised above his head, shouting: "Hurry, I can't hold this for long!"

In an instant, the surrounding poison mist completely dispersed.

Jiang He and Blood Blade exchanged a glance and charged towards Feilian side by side.

Conspicuous red numbers.

Under their combined fierce assault, continuously leaped up.

Boom.

The Spirit Snake Feilian's HP hit zero, and it fell to the ground with a crash.

[World Announcement: Congratulations to player Jiang He's party for successfully achieving the first kill of the world-class boss Spirit Snake Feilian. Reward: 2000 gold coins ×5 for the entire party, All party members' levels +1]

Six beams of white light flashed.

All members' levels increased by 1.

Jiang He frowned. He had seen the announcement before; when Blood Blade killed a boss, the reward was Level +3?

Why did it become +1 for them?

Bai Luoyao noticed his confusion, walked over, and smiled:

"Don't overthink it. Bloodedge probably solo-killed the boss before, so the reward was naturally higher. We're a six-person group."

Jiang He nodded.

If that was the case, then it made sense.

"Hey, aren't you guys going to loot the equipment?"

Bloodedge shouted from beside the monster's corpse at that moment.

Everyone turned to look. At his feet lay a pile of golden light.
