Lord Boss 5

Mu Yunshen, Qian Shengli, Yue Zhongmian, one by one, they continued their assault. They were all sweating coldly, feeling their mice slipping in their grasp, but there was no time to wipe their hands, as they stared wide-eyed, not daring to be careless again.

The situation stabilized once more, and the four, too focused to be distracted, had no time to reflect on the recent close call. The Spider Lord's health continued to drop under their sustained attacks. From one-third, to one-quarter, to one-fifth...

"It's about to enter the red zone, everyone be alert," Ye Kai reminded.

"What do we do when it's in the red zone?" Tian Qi asked. Hidden bosses inevitably have a burst phase when their health is low. He had read the guide; the Spider Lord would enter an invincible state when its health bar turned red, during which it couldn't be stunned.

"Force kill!" Ye Kai said.

Hearing these two words, the four of them felt not tension but excitement. They had been maintaining the same operation for too long and would rather die than not switch to a more exhilarating method of attack.

"It's red!" Tian Qi shouted.

"Mu Yunshen, step on a small spider," Ye Kai commanded.

"Huh?" Although Mu Yunshen was baffled by this instruction, he instinctively moved towards a small spider that was pouncing towards him, as if it was specifically prepared for him.

The small spider bit Mu Yunshen, who immediately couldn't move, entering a three-second immobilized state, but he was also invincible during this time, impervious to damage even from the Spider Lord. Ye Kai was using this to their advantage, providing everyone with three seconds to fiercely attack the Spider Lord.

While raging, the Spider Lord continued to scatter eggs, and Ye Kai kept clearing the newly spawned small spiders, carefully observing their movements and not touching the one biting Mu Yunshen. Mu Yunshen, having caught on, actively sought out small spiders to bite him. Although they were not experts, they were experienced players and had understood the tactical intent of this move.

Due to the four's previous assault on the Spider Lord, they had accumulated a lot of aggro. Mu Yunshen, having the highest attack among them, now had the most aggro. Ye Kai's command was to use this to their advantage, turning the small spiders, which were meant to disrupt the players' coordination, into the most reliable protective umbrella.

This tactic wouldn't have worked earlier in the fight because only at the end was Mu Yunshen's aggro stable enough. Moreover, it was only at this stage that the Spider Lord's reproductive ability was pushed to the limit, producing enough small spiders. Mu Yunshen was bitten in turn by them, remaining invincible throughout.

Although the small spiders' bites did some damage, it wasn't significant. Jun Mo Xiao would take the opportunity to heal him on the side, ensuring no issues.

The Spider Lord used every organ it could to attack, spewing webs and poison, but to no avail. In the midst of this continuous assault, someone's aggro finally surpassed Mu Yunshen's.

The Spider Lord changed its attack target, but Yue Zhongmian, who was next in line for aggro, had already learned from Mu Yunshen and sought out a small spider to bite him. And Jun Mo Xiao, responsible for clearing the small spiders, seemed to have anticipated this move, leaving a spider that was heading towards Yue Zhongmian.

The most dangerous red-zone battle against the boss had completely turned into a game, with everyone laughing and bullying the Spider Lord until it was finally played to death.

The first to flash was the system notification.

Jun Mo Xiao, Tian Qi, Mu Yunshen, Qian Shengli, and Yue Zhongmian had completed the first kill of the Spider Cave's hidden boss, the Spider Lord.

"Awesome!!!" Tian Qi and the others shouted excitedly. If they could, they would definitely lift Jun Mo Xiao up and throw him into the sky. They were certain that without him, they could never have completed this battle. They were already under great pressure just keeping the Spider Lord stunned, but actually, clearing the small spiders was the more difficult task.

Even more terrifying was his mid-battle save, the precise control over the aggro and small spiders, and the design of the entire strategy...

Words failed them.

Tian Qi and the others really couldn't find the words to describe it; they had been playing Glory up until now and had never even imagined there could be such an incredible player.

"Expert brother, there are four strong spider silks that dropped," Tian Qi went to check the Spider Lord's loot and reported to Ye Kai, happily choosing to pass on them.

The others didn't hesitate either, adhering to their agreement and not touching the loot.

"Thank you," Ye Kai said, picking up the four strong spider silks into his inventory.

"The rest is yours!" Ye Kai kept his word.

"You take it all, you take it all!" The rare in-game deference to pass on loot occurred without any hesitation due to their complete admiration for Ye Kai.

Besides the strong spider silks, the Spider Territory also dropped two vials of spider venom, a pair of level 15 chestnut boots, light blue armor with a +3 strength bonus. In addition, a purple weapon had dropped.

Peach Wood Katana, level 15.

Weight 2.6 kg, attack speed 8.

Physical attack 165; Magical attack 178.

Strength +10, Intelligence +14.

The katana is a sword-type weapon, chosen by the swordsman class, with a magical attack attribute that is slightly higher. In Glory, weapons tend to have a bias towards either physical or magical attack, and the Thousand Machine Umbrella has equal stats in both, clearly a custom-made weapon by Silver Weapon.

Compared to that, this Peach Wood Katana was on par with the attributes of the Thousand Machine Umbrella. A level 15 purple weapon was equivalent to a level 5 Silver Weapon. However, this katana had additional attributes and a higher attack speed than the Thousand Machine Umbrella, making it superior in terms of attributes.

Ye Kai, seeing this katana, also admired his luck today. Blue equipment was a guaranteed drop from bosses, and hidden materials were a must from hidden bosses, but the skill book before and now this purple weapon were things you'd only see if you were extremely lucky.

Even if low-level equipment would be quickly replaced, having such a purple weapon at levels 15 to 20 would make one much more formidable than the average player, and since it was a purple weapon, it could be used all the way to level 25. Just for this sword, it was worth it for players who weren't planning to play a swordsman class during the solo period to switch to a swordsman and level up.

The four of them all swallowed hard, especially Mu Yunshen and Yue Zhongmian, who were playing swordsman class characters; this weapon was perfect for them.

"Heh, I have no use for this sword, whoever wants it can take it!" Ye Kai looked at it and decisively chose to pass, not picking up the spider venom or the chestnut boots either, truly acting as he had said before.

"Expert brother, you should take it all!" Tian Qi earnestly said, "If it weren't for you leading us, we wouldn't have seen these items!"

"Heh, if it weren't for you guys teaming up with me, it would have been difficult for me to kill the Spider Lord too!" Ye Kai said.

The four were stunned.

Did you hear that? He didn't say he couldn't kill it, only that it would be difficult.
