Child of Death! Yunshan Inn!

Just as Qin Feng was on his way back.

Two hundred kilometers south of the Magic City Ruins.

Inside a ruined city covered in stones, a masked figure holding a dagger and wearing black leather armor was being besieged by a full sixty-man team!

The figure wearing the black mask moved like a phantom!

The dagger in its hand radiated a kind of black flame representing Death.

—— [ Assassin · Child of Death (Lv20) ] [ Grade: Emerald (Bloodline) ] [ Existence Countdown: 1 hour 37 minutes 25 seconds ] [ Current HP: 71.2% ] ——

That's right, this was the Bloodline BOSS 'Assassin' that Gui Ling had summoned by coming to this stone ruin and rotating the nine stone pillars under Qin Feng's guidance!

After she summoned the BOSS, she flexibly used methods like stealth and sneak attacks to test the BOSS's skills while slowly whittling down its HP.

Although not as monstrous as Qin Feng…

Gui Ling had also learned a skill that granted a Damage Immunity Shield. After using it, she could gain 3 layers of Damage Immunity Shield, but the cooldown was as long as one minute.

Relying on this skill, Gui Ling could withstand three hits from the Assassin.

If the Damage Immunity Shield was depleted, she would quickly disengage from the battlefield. As long as she was fast enough, the BOSS basically couldn't catch her. She would wait for her various skills to finish cooling down, then activate stealth and return to continue…

Of course.

Emerald-grade BOSSes all possessed HP regeneration methods.

And the HP regeneration method for this Assassin · Child of Death was that it could regenerate 3,000 HP per second while in a stealth state!

As long as this BOSS disengaged from combat, it would enter a Level 5 stealth state. Even during the process of fighting it, it had two skills where it would first turn invisible, then reappear to sneak attack.

Fortunately, Gui Ling's damage was quite high.

The build she followed was a poison build.

Because her class advancement trait increased damage against poisoned units by 70%, which belonged to an additional damage multiplier zone.

Although the damage boost wasn't as good as Qin Feng's Shadow class, the effect was still quite good.

Up until now, many expert players and raiding teams had discovered that if one wanted to maximize damage, besides base damage, the most important thing was to achieve as many damage multiplier zones as possible!

But unfortunately, achieving more damage multiplier zones was far from as simple as imagined.

The easiest to achieve was the 1.5x damage from a Weak Point Attack.

Next was the relatively common back/head attack damage boost.

Aside from that, things like damage boosts against poisoned enemies, damage boosts against burning enemies, etc., were all very difficult to achieve.

At the current stage, they could basically only be obtained from class advancement effects.

For the vast majority of players, the easiest way was to increase the 'Weak Point Attack multiplier' through equipment and skills.

But even increasing it from 1.5x to 2x was very difficult.

Only someone like Qin Feng, relying on a 'Graceful Liberation', could double the Weak Point Attack multiplier, raising it from 1.5x to 3x!

Counting the class passive 3x, the back attack damage multiplier of 4.57x, and the 1.8x damage multiplier against enemies with a Nightmare Gauge, all of these stacked up to 74x damage!

This was one of the important reasons for Qin Feng's explosive damage.

And at this moment, Gui Ling possessed a 70% damage boost against poisoned units!

Furthermore, some of her equipment were Emerald-grade gear discarded by Qin Feng, which made her stats far exceed average players. Her Weak Point Attack multiplier stacked up to 2.2x, and she also had a 34% back attack damage boost, bringing her final damage to over 5x.

As long as she poisoned the target first, then sneak attacked from behind and hit a weak point, Gui Ling could deal 20,000 to 30,000 damage with a single skill!

A full combo could take off about 200,000+ HP from the BOSS.

It looked simple, but it required extremely high player operation.

Once a back attack wasn't triggered or a weak point wasn't hit, the damage simply wouldn't reach that level.

Even so, when Gui Ling killed her way back a minute later, this 'Assassin · Child of Death' had at least regenerated over 100,000 HP…

This was already her limit at this stage!

She could only slowly whittle down the BOSS's HP.

Gui Ling still clearly remembered when Qin Feng took her to fight a Platinum-grade 'Acid Muscle Man'. At that time, Qin Feng could deal 70,000 to 80,000 damage with a casual Shadow Blade.

"After so long, I still can't even compare to the teacher I had back then…"

Gui Ling smiled bitterly.

Whenever she thought of Qin Feng, she felt like she was facing an insurmountable mountain!

Just as she had been entangled with the 'Assassin' for nearly twenty minutes, the BOSS's HP had been whittled down to about 75%.

But what she didn't expect was that at this moment, a full sixty-man player team arrived at this stone ruin!

It was a main force team from a guild called 'Yunshan Inn'.

And 'Yunshan Inn' was a large guild ranked in the top twenty for overall strength in the entire Magic City.

"Guild Leader, I've been observing from the woods in the distance for over ten minutes."

A young man with dyed yellow hair said with a smile: "The skills of this Emerald-grade BOSS have been figured out. With our operation, taking it down is absolutely no problem!"

In the crowd, a young woman wearing a priest's robe smiled faintly and said: "Everyone has memorized the BOSS's skills, right? React quickly, be careful of the new mechanics after half health, and be sharp."

"Also, although we don't know who that Assassin is, as long as it's not Shadow, there's no need to care."

"She was able to whittle down so much HP from an Emerald-grade BOSS by herself, so her strength is definitely not weak. Be careful at all times. Azi, guard by my side and keep an eye out for sneak attacks."

This team was an elite team from the Magic City Ruins.

Many of the players among them had top-tier strength.

When they arrived, they directly took over the 'Assassin' BOSS and began to launch a fierce attack on it!

Although their individual output was far inferior to Gui Ling, after all, it was a sixty-man team. With forty damage-dealing classes added together, they were several times faster than Gui Ling alone.

Originally, they thought they would face a sneak attack from Gui Ling and were constantly on guard.

But soon they discovered…

That female Assassin didn't appear at all!

They didn't find it too strange either; after all, she was just a solo Assassin. When encountering a large guild like them, who would dare to confront them head-on?

Thus… they began to focus all their attention on raiding the BOSS!

"Careful, the BOSS has gone invisible."

"Hua Shuishe, behind you!"

"I'm dodging!"

The Assassin · Child of Death held its black dagger, turned invisible, moved behind one of the players, and instantly launched a Lightning Five-Hit Combo!

Pfft, pfft!

The player with the codename 'Hua Shuishe' had a very fast reaction speed, but he was still hit by two slashes from the Lightning Five-Hit Combo and was left with only a sliver of health.

"Careful, this BOSS has an Instant Death Affix!"

"Getting hit by one slash increases it by 20%. Getting hit by all five is an instant kill!"

When the BOSS released this skill, its Stealth Level was quite high, so even Gui Ling couldn't see through it.

But relying on her extremely fast reaction speed, she could instantly dodge the moment the BOSS attacked, not getting hit by a single slash!

The players in this team would be hit by two slashes every time they encountered this skill. Although they wouldn't die, it was evident how big the gap was between their operation and Gui Ling's!

Just at this moment… two Government players were hiding near the stone ruins, watching this scene.

"What?"

"Shadow said we don't need to intervene?"

"He can swallow this insult?"

These two Government players were a bit shocked after receiving the response from their superiors.

Originally, they wanted to take this opportunity to help Shadow, but in the end… he said there was no need for help?

Could it be that he was just giving this Emerald-grade BOSS to the other side like that?

Of course, they didn't know that Qin Feng was doing this because he believed in Gui Ling's strength!

And the reason why Gui Ling hadn't appeared yet… was naturally because she wasn't in a hurry at all!

A loli girl Assassin with shoulder-length short hair was currently invisible on the side, silently watching the other side raid the BOSS, ready to appear at any moment to deliver a fatal blow!
