185: Bugs in defeating the Dragon God
"Probably, maybe!"
Li Ruo said uncertainly, "Your command just now should have only been given to this batch of venomous insects. But... why is the poison causing so little damage to it? This isn't scientific!"
"Could it be that the Giant Worms have extremely high toxicity?" Huang Chen wondered, "If so, taking a worm army to raid the boss isn't out of the question."
Immediately, with a thought, the surrounding Giant Worms all swarmed towards the bottom right.
However, as soon as the worms entered the Dragon-Touching God's attack range, without exception, they were all petrified and then instantly killed.
Huang Chen looked down at the worms at his feet and muttered to himself, "Could it be that your bone structure is unique? You go too!"
This time, a miracle still did not happen.
"What's going on?"
Huang Chen frowned in thought, the scenes from just now flashing through his mind like slides.
After he gave the order, these dozen venomous insects charged towards the Dragon-Touching God, were all poisoned to death, and then, without anyone noticing, one escaped... where exactly was the problem?
Tens of thousands of HP being deducted was clearly wrong.
Even a glancing blow from the Dragon-Touching God's skill shouldn't have such low damage.
He looked up at the puppets still fighting the venomous insects not far away.
Both sides used poison attacks, but the puppets had many Halos, and although tens of thousands of HP were being deducted densely, their health remained at full.
No!
Huang Chen's eyes suddenly widened.
Tens of thousands of HP being deducted?
Isn't this damage the same as the poison on the Giant Worms just now?
Tie Shengnan looked at Huang Chen's frowning, contemplative expression and couldn't help but advise, "Hubby, why don't we just give up? Anyway, it can't come out, we can just attack it from above."
This divine-level Dragon-Touching God was clearly not something they could covet at their current level.
Although Huang Chen's resistance and HP could withstand two attacks from the Dragon-Touching God.
But who knew if this poison could stack like it did on players?
If, by accident, the poison stacked beyond his maximum HP, he'd have nowhere to cry.
Moreover, given Huang Chen's personality, he wouldn't put himself in danger.
Huang Chen didn't respond to Tie Shengnan; his mind was racing.
After a moment, he slowly exhaled and said, "I seem to have discovered a strange phenomenon. Let's try again."
Then, he summoned dozens of puppet venomous insects and had them stand at the edge of the Dragon-Touching God's attack range.
"You few, change your attack mode and poison my puppets?" Huang Chen said to a few core Wood Elementals.
"Yes! Guild Leader!"
The few obeyed, and immediately applied a layer of green paint to dozens of venomous insects.
Thousands of points of HP loss caused no damage at all to the venomous insects with Halos.
After everything was ready, Huang Chen immediately issued an attack command to the venomous insects.
During this time, the Dragon-Touching God had retracted back into the ground since it hadn't been attacked.
But as soon as the puppet venomous insects entered its attack range, the Dragon-Touching God's massive and ferocious figure roared and burrowed out again.
"Hoo hoo hoo~"
Gray and green virulent poison poured out of its mouth like a tide, uniformly covering a two-hundred-meter radius around it.
Everyone stared intently at the charging venomous insects.
However, after more than a dozen attacks, these venomous insects were still not petrified or dead, and the speed of HP deduction above their heads was still thousands of points at a time.
This made All the women watching the venomous insects' suicidal charge drop their jaws.
Although they didn't understand the reasoning behind Huang Chen's actions, the venomous insects' ability to withstand nearly ten million attacks from the Dragon-Touching God undoubtedly showed them that Huang Chen had found a way to conquer this giant beast.
The Dragon-Touching God seemed to have no physical attack methods, and was just rammed in place by dozens of puppet venomous insects for about ten seconds before their HP suddenly plummeted, and they died.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Li Ruo asked Huang Chen in surprise, "How are these puppets so resilient?"
Huang Chen excitedly said, "When that Giant Worm came out just now, wasn't its HP deducted by tens of thousands? I later found that this HP deduction amount was extremely similar to the venomous insects' poison damage deduction amount.
So I suspected, is it true that if you have a poison effect on you, you won't suffer poison damage from the Dragon-Touching God?
And the facts show that this hypothesis is correct.
And..."
Huang Chen deliberately built suspense, and seeing the worship and thirst for knowledge in All the women's eyes, he cleared his throat twice and continued, "And didn't you notice, the Dragon-Touching God's attacks are all magic poison-type. You can tell from how it just keeps spewing poison even when the puppets attack it."
"This way, as long as we stand a hundred meters away from the Dragon-Touching God and attack it, with the Wood Elementals applying poison to us at the edge of its skill range, we can slowly wear it down."
"Holy crap! Hubby, you're such a genius, you could even think of this," Li Ruo exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration.
Huang Chen glanced at Li Ruo speechlessly; he somehow felt that this compliment wasn't quite right.
"But if the Wood Elementals attack too many times, the people inside won't be able to withstand it either," Lan Ling thought for a moment and pointed out a flaw.
"Uh..." Huang Chen hadn't thought of that. Currently, the core members' Poison Sand Palm stacked poison on Trial Takers at three to five thousand points.
This wasn't a problem in the short term, but once the poison stacked more than dozens of times, the damage would be huge, and it might directly exceed the HP cap of the person being targeted.
"That's not a problem," Tie Shengnan said, "The people attacking the Dragon-Touching God and the people applying poison can count the times themselves. When it's stacked about twenty layers, and the poison damage reaches tens of thousands, they can instantly teleport out. Once the poison effect disappears, they can go back in again."
"However, one thing to note is that after coming out, it's best to apply poison to oneself again, to prevent the poison we applied from disappearing, and thus being killed by the Dragon-Touching God's poison."
"Good!" Huang Chen hardened his heart and said, "Shengnan, you command. Let's do it when you're ready."
Tie Shengnan responded, and then, with Water Element users staying behind to heal and Metal Element Users staying on guard, the remaining people were divided into 100 groups, with one Wood Elemental in each group responsible for applying poison to two partners.
As for why Metal Element Users weren't going up, it was just a guess that the Dragon-Touching God had no physical attacks.
But to be safe, Metal Element Users were still left in place to be on alert.
Soon, 100 Wood Elementals all walked to the edge and stood ready.
With Tie Shengnan's command, countless Sky Full of Flower Rain lit up, and over two hundred people, with a patch of green above their heads, rushed fearlessly to a hundred meters from the Dragon-Touching God.
Soon, roaring skills engulfed the Dragon-Touching God, the entire scene was covered by dazzling light, and only the rumble of skills and the Dragon-Touching God's roar could be heard.
And these two hundred people, as expected, did not suffer petrification or instant death.
Everything seemed to be going quite smoothly.
However, after dozens of rounds of returning to detoxify, Huang Chen began to notice that something seemed wrong.
Although the Dragon-Touching God kept roaring, in the intervals between each detoxification, he noticed that the Dragon-Touching God's HP seemed to be... completely still!
