"Everyone, get away from the overlapping domains!"
"What kind of skill is this? Why hasn't it ended after so long?"
……
The battle had barely begun before one person fell. Whether it was Shi Feng's team or the members of the Midnight Tea Party, everyone's expressions turned grim.
Everyone present had clearly seen how the killed Berserker had died.
All the golden air currents that erupted from the ground appeared silently and without warning, and they were completely unstoppable — the only option was to dodge. Under a normal domain there were three to five golden currents, but with two domains overlapping, that number jumped to seven or ten, completely sealing off every escape route. There was nowhere to hide, and in the end the victim was slowly worn down to death, with healing unable to keep up.
The members of the Midnight Tea Party had lost their earlier composure.
"Draw all the Patrollers to the four corners — don't let them stay near the Guard Captain!" Shi Feng barked order after order.
He didn't know exactly what skills the five bosses guarding the Ark possessed. After all, he had only learned of the Ark's existence after it had been opened, and no one knew who had opened it.
What he did know was that special life forms each had their own ultimate abilities, and if they coordinated, the combined power would be enormous. But he hadn't expected them to be domain skills.
Among all types of skills, the ones that posed the greatest threat to players were massive destructive magic and domain skills. Massive destructive magic at least came in a single wave — survive it and you lived, fail and you died. But domain skills could be maintained indefinitely, wearing a person down until they dropped.
Wei Yang Qianhen now understood the severity of the situation. She immediately pulled a Third-Tier Summoning Scroll from her inventory and called out in the party chat: "Langzi, you and I use the summoning scrolls together to lure the two Patrollers away! Melee, pull back from the boss — switch to ranged attacks!"
The Midnight Tea Party was, after all, a group of elites, and they moved quickly. The melee fighters retreated out of the Patrollers' domain range, while the Third-Tier summoned beasts that Wei Yang Qianhen and Huang Quan Langzi had summoned lunged at the Ark Patroller.
Both Wei Yang Qianhen and Huang Quan Langzi were highly skilled at controlling their summoned beasts. Although they couldn't dodge every golden current, they managed to avoid the majority of each wave and easily closed in on the Ark Patroller, slamming a claw into it.
Boom!
The moment the Third-Tier summoned beast's attack landed on the motionless Ark Patroller, a sharp sound of metal clashing rang out. The beast's razor-sharp claws could only leave a white scratch on the Patroller's armor — they couldn't even force the Great Lord-tier Patroller to take a single step back. The HP damage dealt was a mere four thousand…
"How can its defense be that high?"
"Not even a High Great Lord would have defense this high!"
The Midnight Tea Party members stared at the ordinary damage dealt by the level-60 Third-Tier summoned beast, their faces dark as storm clouds.
A Third-Tier Great Lord!
Previously, when they'd had Third-Tier summoned beasts attack the same tier of Great Lord, ordinary attacks dealt at least twenty to thirty thousand damage. Even against High Great Lords, they managed seven or eight thousand, and against weaker Great Lords, over ten thousand. But now — four thousand.
This defense had reached a level bordering on despair.
One had to keep in mind that Great Lords dealt far more damage to players than players dealt to them. If a Great Lord itself could only deal four thousand points of damage, then even the strongest player among them would be capped at fifteen hundred at most. Meanwhile, the Ark Patroller had a total of 41 million HP and regenerated 1% of its health every five seconds in combat.
That meant 410,000 HP restored every five seconds — over 80,000 HP per second.
If they couldn't deal more than 80,000 points of damage per second to the Ark Patroller, it was essentially invincible against them.
"Sister Wei Yang, how are we supposed to fight this?" Yun Zhongsha couldn't help but glance over at the High Great Lord that Shi Feng's side was facing, her voice tight with anxiety.
If the Ark Patroller alone was this difficult, wouldn't the Ark Guard Captain be even more outrageous?
"Forget about all that — just lure the boss away first!" Wei Yang Qianhen swept a glance at Shi Feng's group, who were already engaged in combat, and shook her head.
Dealing with the five guardian bosses was far harder than she had imagined. She had originally thought that reaching level 55 and advancing to the Second Tier would be enough to handle them. But now it seemed that even at level 55 and Second Tier, their chances of clearing were less than forty percent — let alone where they currently stood.
