“Shadow Daddy, save me!”

Originally, Old Zhang Tou had found two other old men to play Mahjong with Big Eyes, and they were playing quite well.

With this suddenly happening, how could he not be angry?

You should know…

He had finally found an entertainment method that even Big Eyes was helpless against!

Playing Mahjong!

As the saying goes, scientific Mahjong is a dead end.

Even if there were some skills to use, the key was… it, a single Big Eyes, had to face the siege of three old men!

So, Old Zhang Tou was enjoying himself.

Then he heard that even with Shadow's warning, someone still led a group to the BOSS to seek Death; wasn't that just being brain-dead?

"Listen up, everyone!"

"Fu Xi, as a guild manager, ignored the lives of the members and led a team to seek Death at the BOSS. He is kicked out of the guild immediately."

"Everyone enter a state of alert, an Epic BOSS is attacking outside!"

"All of you get back to the Hideout and stay there!"

When encountering danger, the Hideout was indeed a very good barrier for defense.

Although Old Zhang Tou didn't know what was going on with that BOSS, he still issued the most correct Order to all guild members immediately.

…

When Qin Feng returned, he saw Old Zhang Tou leading the surrounding old men, leaving in a hurry.

Only Big Eyes was left.

Qin Feng appeared in front of it and took out the light and shadow crystal.

"Look, what skills does this thing have?"

Big Eyes was currently full of desire to explore Mahjong.

But facing Guild Leader Qin Feng, it still didn't dare to be negligent.

"Guild Leader, this guy is of the Undead Royal Family."

——

[Do you want to consume 60 years of lifespan to query information related to the ‘Undead Royal Family’?]

——

60 years, with 50% recovery it's 30 years, not bad.

Qin Feng directly chose to query.

——

"The Undead Royal Family is a unique race created by the ‘Ancient Undead God’!"

"Any species can be transformed into the ‘Undead’. Among them, those with enough strength are the ‘Undead Royal Family’."

"In theory, the Undead Royal Family possesses eternal life because when their lifespan reaches zero, they can obtain infinite lifespan from the Ancient Undead God… but with the fall of the Ancient Undead God, the Undead Royal Family also needs to extend their lifespan themselves."

"Every member of the Undead Royal Family has different abilities, but they all share a common skill, which is ‘Undead Transformation’."

"This skill has an extremely long cooldown (more than seven days). After release, it can transform corpses within a large area into the ‘Undead’, controlled by that member of the Undead Royal Family. Furthermore, creatures killed by the ‘Undead’ will also be transformed into the ‘Undead’."

"After all Undead die, they will still resurrect in the form of Undead within a certain period of time."

"Unless the ‘Undead Royal Family’ member dies, the Undead under their command will never recover."

——

Hearing this series of explanations, Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.

Undead Transformation…

This skill gave Qin Feng a scent of ‘Order’.

But since it was a skill created by the Ancient Undead God and passed down to the Undead Royal Family, it was normal for it to contain the power of Order.

Therefore, if Qin Feng were to die at the hands of the BOSS, he could rely on his divinity armament to resist the transformation.

Moreover, this skill had an extremely long cooldown. That BOSS had already used it, so it was impossible to release it again in a short time.

"No wonder it wanted to attract so many players there."

"Because this skill's cooldown is too long… it must attract enough players at once to create enough player puppet subordinates, which are the Undead!"

"Then, through zombie-like methods, it continuously expands…"

Next.

Big Eyes also provided some information prompts regarding the individual ‘Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals’.

"Judging from the material of its weapon, it has a very high Instant Death Affix."

"Judging from the aura of its eyes, it has Nightmare-related abilities, and its spirit attribute is extremely high."

"An Evil Tooth hangs from its waist, which should be a part of some ancient creature… it can periodically clear all Upper Gauges and Upper States on its body."

Hearing this news, Qin Feng's brow furrowed slightly.

He asked the key point: "Periodically, how long is that?"

The golden Big Eyes blinked: "Depending on the quality, the effective interval varies. From the images of the light and shadow crystal, it's impossible to judge the specific quality of that Evil Tooth… a rough estimate is that its effective interval should be between 3 to 5 seconds."

Damn it.

Qin Feng's expression changed slightly.

An Epic BOSS, even he couldn't make it fall into a Nightmare in a short time, and it was very difficult to perform ‘Stripping’ on it.

That is to say…

When facing this ‘Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals’, Qin Feng could not use Upper Affixes to skip its phases!

Instead, he had to follow the mechanics honestly!

Nightmare, Stripping—once these affixes were applied, they would be cleared every 3-5 seconds, making it impossible to reach 100%.

And because he couldn't use ‘Stripping’, Qin Feng also had to evade the opponent's Upper Affixes.

Fortunately, Knowledge Eye continued: "However, because that item is too powerful, the Upper Affix energy surrounding this BOSS has been disabled."

"Understood."

Qin Feng nodded.

A playful look appeared in his eyes.

Although that BOSS was very strong and could clear all Upper Affixes every 3-5 seconds…

As a penalty, there was no Upper Affix energy surrounding it!

You should know, some BOSSes would stack the Upper Gauge every second just by standing near them!

For example, the Whispers affix of ‘Twin Butterfly Shadows’.

For example, the Nightmare affix of ‘Nightmare Hell Flower’.

As long as you were near the BOSS, it would continuously stack.

But this ‘Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals’, although it possessed both ‘Instant Death’ and ‘Nightmare’ abilities, they both required attack methods to take effect!

"In that case…"

"Can't I just play around however I want?"

"With my stealth ability, I can easily teach it a lesson!"

Qin Feng nodded, indicating he understood.

He turned around, intending to go and conquer the Great Calamity Underworld King.

Knowledge Eye shouted from behind: "Lord Guild Leader! The detailed observation of this BOSS individual is purely a free gift! Remember to tell me your Talent when you have time!!"

"Sure, next time for sure."

Qin Feng waved his hand, jumped onto Osirio's back, and took off!

…

Just at this time.

Outside the Magic City Ruins, on the road leading to the Epic-grade BOSS Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals.

Countless players were scrambling to flee in all directions!

Just a moment ago, they were in a rush to snatch the BOSS; now they were in just as much of a rush to run away…

Everyone realized.

The warnings from Shadow and the official side were not wrong!

Greed would only bring them disaster!

"If you think about it, we can't even beat an Emerald BOSS now, how could we possibly beat an epic one?"

"Wasn't it because that BOSS seemed so dumb? I thought there was a bug in the game design…"

"Luckily I listened to Shadow and hesitated for a bit, otherwise I would have been killed by the BOSS and turned into a skeleton too!"

"Mom, I will definitely listen to Shadow from now on!"

This part of the players still had a chance to escape.

But the players who had already been slain by the BOSS and transformed into Undead skeletons soon fell into despair.

This included the young man ‘Fu Xi’ who had just been kicked out of the guild by Old Zhang Tou!

This guy held a Platinum bow, transformed into a skeleton, and was chasing a player team.

Originally, he didn't think the situation was too bad.

After all, he was the one chasing others now, not others chasing him.

But soon…

He saw that while they were scattered and chasing players, that twenty-meter-tall epic skeleton BOSS, holding a giant sword, targeted a ‘player skeleton’ and performed a jumping slash!

This strike from the BOSS carried 100 points of Instant Death Affix.

Even if that player skeleton had a Damage Immunity Shield, it couldn't resist at all and died again on the spot!

After Death, the player dropped their lifespan again, which was absorbed by the BOSS.

Then…

Fu Xi and the other player skeletons watched in horror as the player skeleton that had been killed once actually stood up again after a few seconds, still in skeleton form!

"What's going on?"

"Even if you die, you're still a skeleton?"

"Then if this BOSS makes us go to our Deaths, won't we keep dropping lifespan until it's all gone and we die for real?!"

The Great Calamity Underworld King was using the player skeletons under its command to cross regional restrictions.

To it, what did it matter whether these players died or not?

And this discovery…

Made all the surrounding players who had turned into skeletons fall into a cold, bone-chilling despair!

They…

Seemed to be in big trouble?!

"Could it be that this state can only be lifted by killing the BOSS?"

When they thought of this, their hearts were in chaos.

If they could shout or send private messages…

They would definitely shout in the first instance: "Shadow Daddy, save me!!"

…

Just at this time.

A young Summoner wearing a gray robe was also fleeing somewhat miserably not far from the BOSS.

His face was grim.

He had been luring this BOSS, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

"So what if I was discovered… they actually dared to come and fight the BOSS?"

"And this BOSS acted so dumb?"

Things had exceeded his control.

And as he was fleeing, suddenly, ten player skeletons were clearly chasing specifically after him!

"What's the situation?"

"So many people, specifically coming for me?"

The young Summoner was stunned.

Of course, he didn't know…

He had lured the BOSS all the way, and the BOSS had long since set its eyes on him. Wanting to run? How could that be possible?
