Dancing Forest smiled, “Boss, this [Shield Breaker Shot] decreases the target’s defense by 3%. At most it can be compounded 5 times, meaning it would decrease the target’s defense by 15% in total….”
“If it’s like this then after you equip the Phoenix Bracelet, the highest you can decrease the target’s defense by is 22.5%. When you’re fighting against a BOSS that would be extremely advantageous ….” I handed the bracelet to Dancing Forest and said, “You’re the only Archer here right now, and it fits you the most. Make sure you work hard. [Zhang Long]’s number one Archer must be one of the world’s top!”
Dancing Forest equipped the Phoenix Bracelet and said with a bright smile, “Yes, I know. I will do my best!”
I clapped my hands and distributed all the remaining soul gems. I then said, “The spoils of war have been distributed. Let’s go! We should go to the second floor and begin a new round of journeys!”
……
Behind the Ghost of Chun Shen Jun was a flight of stone steps to the next level. It was also the pathway which we had to pass through.
I lifted my longsword and walked in front cautiously. I raised my Emperor Qin’s Sword high up to illuminate the small passageway. Before long, the view suddenly cleared up, and it was another coffin chamber arrangement in the shape of a spiral ring. In the distance stood organized rows of soldiers. They were dressed in light armor, and held crossbows in their hands. Every one of them wore their hair in a bun and had a beard. However, their faces were horribly decayed. They are soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom that had slept underground for years, and all of them are archers. As I went slightly closer, the stats of these archers could be seen——
[Crossbowmen] (Phantom Tier)
Level: 91
Attack strength: 2700-3350
Defense: 2500
Health: 100000
Skills: [Crossbow Shot] [Penetration Shot]
Shooting range: 20 yards
Introduction: The warriors of Zhao Kingdom from the Warring States period. These crossbowmen are equipped with extremely excellent crossbows. They shoot and kill fiercely, and refill arrows conveniently and rapidly. These crossbowmen have slept underground for ten thousand years. They have experienced death, and were influenced by the strength of the magical region. With amazing arm strength, every one of them could draw the hundred rocks crossbow*. They are ferocious and ruthless, and the only thing they want to do is to transform everyone into “porcupines”.
TLN: A crossbow that needs to be drawn with thousands of kilograms of force.
……
“ShaSha……”
Wan Er lightly stepped up behind me and stuck out her tongue, “Wah, this time is the long range attackers, I don’t want to become a “porcupine.” Xiao Yao, go provoke the monsters, and then everyone else attack. With 10,000 health, it should take around 2-3 rounds of attacks to finish them off. However, these archers are in a square formation as if they are part of the Terracotta Army. When you’re provoking the monsters, you must be careful…..”
I nodded and said, “Honestly, killing them won’t be hard. Based on the rules of the system, these Lv 91 monsters can pick up aggro from around 40 yards away, but their range is only 20 yards. Therefore, I can lure them over here. Dong Cheng, Little Dance, don’t hesitate at all to use your AOE skills. I’ll definitely get their aggro.”
The two girls nodded, “Understood. Go lure the monsters, and make sure you don’t lure too many of them!”
“Ok!”
I gave a low roar, and buffed everyone with [Dragon’s Whistle of Thunder and Lightning]. After that, I activated [Wall of Dou Qi] for myself, and raised my sword to charge towards the Crossbowmen. When I was 40 yards away from them, I immediately halted, and then turned around to run back. Behind me, a group of crossbowmen shouted, “What scoundrel is that? You dare trespass upon the imperial palace of the Zhao Kingdom?”
As I ran back to everyone, I raised my Emperor Qin’s Sword, and threw a [Seven Star Fragment Slash] at them. At the same time, I let my Cold Iron Sword fly out with a, “Shua!” And it spun through the crowd of Crossbowmen. As I looked ahead, I saw Dong Cheng’s body slightly lower. A red glow began to rise around her feet, which made her robes fly up. The activation took an entire three seconds. Was this her fourth advancement skill?
“Hong!”
The ground shivered and the tiles of the palace floor began to shake. One after another, red volcanic craters suddenly appeared below the group of Crossbowmen. In the next second, they all exploded, and magma started blasting out of the ground. One after another, terrifying damage numbers flew up——
“5127!”
“4821!”
“4917!”
