Chapter 553: Old trump card, new opportunity for crusade
At the same level, it is difficult to defeat the dragon alone.
However, Zong Shen is fully capable of leading his soldiers.
Then carefully prepare some props with control effects.
I think it should be enough to deal with the dragon!
Jiang Yi has no strategy and doesn't know much about the dragons in this world.
I didn’t know that dragons are also divided into single dragons and lord dragons.
The dependent clans under the command of the lord dragon are not just eating dry food.
She only has a superficial understanding of the dragon's strength.
But this does not prevent her from analyzing and thinking seriously.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi felt that Zong Shen could really subdue the black dragon in the poisonous swamp.
She was thinking wildly as she walked quickly towards Zong Shen.
When Jiang Yi came to Zong Shen, she put away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
He took the initiative to bow to Zong Shen.
"Lord Zong."
"I am reporting to you with forty-two legion members!"
"The remaining Legion members are scattered throughout the region."
"They're all heading here."
As usual, she reported on the gathering of legion members.
Zong Shen just yawned lazily.
"tui!"
He spat out the grass sprouts that were chewing bitterly in his mouth.
The corner of his mouth curled up and he nodded slightly.
It seems a bit unsparing.
But Jiang Yi knew very well that Zong Shen did have the confidence.
"I see."
"While the Balrog boss has no intention of attacking yet."
"You should also quickly lead the legion members and soldiers to attack."
"Now is the best opportunity to gain points."
She was not upset when Zong Shen said this.
He nodded to Zong Shen again.
He returned to the team.
"All members are ready to attack freely!"
In addition to Zong Shen himself, Jiang Yi still has a certain dignity in the army.
But Zong Shen didn't care about this.
All lords who join the [Legion of Guides].
Almost ninety-nine percent of them came for someone from his sect.
As the deputy commander of the army, Jiang Yi's strength is pretty good among the lords in the area.
But there is a huge gap compared to Zong Shen.
As long as Zong Shen can always maintain the lead in strength.
Then he doesn't have to worry about Jiang Yi rebelling.
Any betrayal is motivated.
With Zong Shen taking the lead, even if Jiang Yi had different intentions, there would be no consequences.
Those Legionnaires weren't idiots.
All the lords who have been able to survive in this world until now are all old men.
They know which choices are in their best interests.
In this world, the weak eat the strong, and strength is the most important thing.
Whoever has a big fist and can lift his head clearly is the dominator!
Strength is the cornerstone of everything.
Zong Shen turned his head and stood up.
He smoothly pulled out the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] stuck on the ground.
It was during his break.
All the remaining water on the ground near the Balrog had been evaporated.
The water vapor also disappeared.
Its body contains a large amount of fire elements.
The fire element is the most active and manic of all magical elements.
When these fire elements reach a certain level, they look like red Mars.
When they come into contact with the outside world, a series of sparks will burst out.
Heat is released at the same time.
Therefore, the Balrog boss itself is equivalent to a sustainable furnace.
In the period just now, all the lake water that Zong Shen released before was evaporated.
This situation was expected by Zong Shen.
So he still looked calm.
Originally, before this round of boss battle, he wanted to upgrade the legion to another level.
In fact, the requirements for legion upgrades are now met.
But he forgot to upgrade the legion.
But this is not a big deal.
Because during the challenge period, it is actually not suitable to accept people.
After the legion is upgraded, he will conduct a proper review of the new members.
At the same time, set the threshold for strength.
Make sure to give priority to recruiting potential lords in the area.
We can no longer accept everything as we did before, regardless of our strength.
The members of the legion will become his biggest support in the future hegemony in the region.
And the current legion members will become the backbone and framework of the legion in the future.
They must have a certain level of strength.
Only in this way can we shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the development of the legion.
Zong Shen had already made clear plans and arrangements for this.
After the legion is upgraded, the corresponding positions will gradually be opened.
He will consider promoting more legion members and placing them in reasonable positions.
The first is to give full play to the role of each position and establish the management within the legion.
Secondly, it can be regarded as a small check and balance on Jiang Yi.
Although he is not worried that Jiang Yi will rebel, power checks and balances are still necessary.
With a complete management team, there will be a sense of competition and promote the development of the legion.
Zong Shen's current strength is hugely different from that of ordinary lords.
He knew many things well, and there was no need to worry about anything.
After all, if you want to survive safely in this world, the root cause lies in strength.
As long as you have enough strength, you can be fearless of all conspiracies.
Turn your hands to become clouds and turn your hands to rain, smoothing out any changes and waves.
Watching Jiang Yi and the others enter within a hundred meters of the Flame Demon boss, he led his soldiers to attack.
Zong Shen turned his body to the other side and looked at the surrounding situation.
The number of lords arriving at the crusade continued to increase.
The rate at which the Balrog boss's blood volume decreases has also been increased.
However, the current numbers are still not enough.
More lords are needed to participate in the crusade.
There are currently less than 7,000 lords remaining in the area.
It's almost between 6500 and 6800 bits.
He hadn't paid attention in days.
The number of surviving lords in the area did not help his development.
The future development trend is still in the hands of the lord system.
He just needs to figure out the motivations of the lord system.
It is fundamental to develop as much territory as possible and increase one's own strength.
The unification and struggle for hegemony and regional hegemony within the region are essentially just resource integration in accordance with the wishes of the lord system.
Zong Shen rested for a long time.
Decided to step forward and attack again.
Because the Balrog boss has no intention of attacking yet, it is much easier to attack.
Where he slashed the Balrog boss before, the terrifying gap still existed.
Zong Shen was going to cut it a few more times.
He just took a look at his points.
At the end of the last round, the score was over 420,000 points.
So far, I have nearly 530,000 points.
The attacks launched by his soldiers during this period also earned him tens of thousands of points.
Zong Shen himself also gained fifty or sixty thousand points.
Even frost and water magic gems are restricted.
But his output ability and strength are still among the best.
It's not too difficult to deal with the Balrog boss.
Zong Shen recalled the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword].
There are two finger tigers for each fist.
He still cherishes the durability of the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword].
Previously, there were big buff states like [Power Demon Possession] and [Strength Amplification].
Using [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] has better attack effect.
But now, his body does not have any buff status, so it is more appropriate to use a finger tiger or other weapons to attack.
This can save the durability of [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword].
This time, when he was about to get close, he immediately summoned the [Pendragon Loyal Guard] and the [Power Demon Guard].
These are fourth- and fifth-level warriors with little strength.
And because they are summoning warriors, these guys are not afraid of sacrifice.
Zong Shen was also willing to let them fight the Balrog up close.
Just when he was seriously immersed in rummaging through the storage compartment.
suddenly! He found an item that had been hidden for a long time!
The appearance of this item has brought a new turn to this round of the Balrog boss crusade!
He turned his hand and took out a black arrow.
The arrows above are as clear as obsidian.
There was actually a black leaping flame shining inside.
This is Zong Shen's old trump card.
[Cruel blood-burning arrows]!
Zong Shen looked at the arrow, and memories came flooding back to him.
This was the arrow he found on the elf bones he dug out from under the Crooked Neck tree when he first landed.
It is a very special rare item, coming from a powerful blood-burning demon.
Not only does it have up to 999 points of piercing damage.
It also comes with the [Blood Burning] effect.
It can ignite the target's blood, causing blood-burning damage equal to 5% of the target's maximum health every second.
It can last as long as eight seconds.
The origin of this blood-burning arrow is very special. It probably belongs to a certain high-level demon.
Although its grade is only rare.
But its actual utility is very powerful, far beyond ordinary rare items.
However, this blood-burning arrow does not have much durability left.
Not enough to sustain heavy use.
If it is shot, it can only be used three more times at most.
If it is stabbed, it will be scrapped after using it twice at most.
Now Zong Shen is not sure whether the [Blood Burning] effect attached to it can be applied to the boss.
After all, the Fire Demon boss in front of him is ultimately an elemental body.
Its surface is made of pitch-black volcanic rock, and its interior is made of fire elements condensed into a solid form.
These fire elements come together and become something like magma.
Zong Shen didn't know whether this thing was blood.
And what exactly is the definition of [burning blood]?
Thinking of this, he took the initiative to ask the strategy module for advice.
"Can blood-burning arrows cause blood-burning damage to the Balrog boss?"
A few seconds after he raised the question, a golden subtitle appeared.
Answer his doubts.
(The power contained in the blood-burning arrows belongs to the special ability of the blood-burning demon.
In a broad sense, what it burns is not just the blood in the living body
The reason why the blood-burning demon can become a demon invader
In fact, it is closely related to their tyrannical characteristics.
One of the terrifying abilities is burning blood.
They can use this power to ignite the blood in any living thing
Whether it is an elemental body, a stone spirit, a tree spirit, or even a ghost.)
According to the guide, the blood-burning effect should be able to cause effective damage to the Balrog boss.
5% per second for 8 seconds.
This means that you can cause blood-burning damage to the Balrog boss that is 40% of his upper limit of health.
Does the arrow in your hand really have such power?
Zong Shen looked at it, still a little unbelievable in his heart.
But the [Cruel Blood-Burning Arrow] is indeed special.
Zong Shen has seen a lot of rare items from the moment they were launched.
I have never seen an additional piercing damage reaching 999 points.
This alone is enough to show that the actual power of the blood-burning arrow exceeds its grade.
There is an unknown secret in it.
Maybe it's actually worth a try.
And strictly speaking, when Zong Shen destroyed the underworld snake Apophis.
In fact, it also uses the passive skill of the crypt hero [Wailing Lich] and the effect of [Death Wail].
The percentage of damage, regardless of the enemy or friend, was smoothly applied to Apophis.
This shows that similar regional challenge bosses can definitely be affected by percentage skill damage.
There are actually not many skills and items with percentage damage.
It cannot be popularized on a large scale, and the effect should not be targeted by the lord system.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen felt slightly relieved.
He put on the finger tigers on his hands, and at the same time held the [cruel blood-burning arrows] in his palms.
He ran to the front and said hello to Veresa, Luna and the others.
Then he quickly walked to the side of the fourth-level Avalon Strike Ranger Mapel who came with the team.
He put the [Blood-Burning Arrow] in her hand.
He warned with a serious expression.
"Mapelle, after you get my instructions later."
"Just fire the blood-burning arrows."
"do you understand?"
Mapel stopped shooting, turned around and took the [cruel blood-burning arrow].
He nodded solemnly.
"I understand, my lord."
She answered simply and without any questions.
In fact, Zong Shen has used this arrow twice since he obtained it.
The first time was when dealing with the Spider Queen.
That's when he opted for a manual jab.
The second time was shot by the dragonborn ranger Madeline using a war bow.
The one he was dealing with was Leopold, the spider web monster lord.
Therefore, Mapel knew the purpose of this arrow.
She hung the [Blood-Burning Arrow] on her waist.
As long as Zong Shen gives an order, Mapel can immediately draw it out and launch it.
Zong Shen didn't say anything more, just nodded in affirmation.
Then he quickly ran towards the Balrog boss.
He was ready to use his fists to point the tiger at him and deliver another wave.
Taking into account the characteristics of [Blood-Burning Arrow].
It must be used when the remaining health of the Balrog boss is less than 40%.
Once he succeeds, he will still make a lot of money in this round of boss crusade.
The remaining durability of [Blood-Burning Arrow] is even enough for him to use it 2 to 3 more times.
Of course this is used in shooting form.
If Zong Shen still treats it as a spike and stabs it manually.
Then it will have to be scrapped soon.
Zong Shen accidentally found this veteran's trump card.
His mood became high again.
"Hmph! Bird Lord System!"
"Do you think that by prohibiting the elemental damage effect of the frost magic gem, you can stop me?"
Zong Shen thought proudly in his heart.
The so-called mountains and rivers are full of doubts, but there is no way out, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers!
Without this move, Zong still has thousands of other moves!
Zong Shen felt relieved and his steps became more brisk.
During his rest, the magma that had cooled down in the ground boiled out again.
And the fifty tons of lake water he released just now have all evaporated.
It is unrealistic to simply use lake water to extinguish the Balrog.
A way to truly annihilate each other.
In fact, it is to use equal amounts of frost magic elements or water magic elements.
Completely covering the body of the Balrog boss.
Unfortunately, after today's adjustment, this trick no longer works.
The 80% resistance to frost and water magic elements greatly reduces the effectiveness of magic gems.
The original sixth-level frost magic gem can reduce the health of the Balrog boss by 37.5% in one breath.
That is 18.9 million health points.
Equivalent to 189,000 points.
But now after being significantly weakened.
Even using the sixth-level epic frost magic gem, it can only cause 7.5% damage to the Balrog boss.
It is equivalent to shrinking from the sixth level to the fifth level.
This is very uneconomical.
After all, the sixth-level frost magic gem itself is valuable.
It is a serious epic magic gem.
It is not cost-effective to exchange epic items for this 7.5% damage.
Zong Shen naturally knew the value of the frost magic gem.
He would rather hammer it manually than use a sixth-level magic gem in exchange for the greatly weakened damage.
7.5% of health points, which is 375,000 points.
After conversion, it is equivalent to 37,500 points.
If he wanted to get 30,000 to 40,000 points, he had to rely entirely on his own hands.
Why waste magic gems?
In the future, we will wait until the manufacturing industry in the territory develops.
These sixth-level magic gems can come in handy.
Each one can be used as a base material for making epic weapons or magic items.
It's not impossible to consume it on the Balrog boss, but it depends on the specific effect.
It used to be a good deal when it could generate 37.5%, but now?
Obviously it becomes very uneconomical.
Zong Shen didn't even need to think about such an exchange.
At this time, he had returned to the feet of the Balrog boss again.
The surrounding earth returned to its broken state.
There is only a dozen square meters of open space where you can stay.
Zong Shen first activated the summoning skill of [Li Mo Armor (Red)] and summoned the Li Mo Guard.
Then he activated [King Arthur's Ring of Dominance (gold)] and summoned the Pendragon loyal guard.
Let these summoned warriors launch a close attack on the Balrog boss.
Loss of water flushing and cooling.
The body of the Balrog boss became hot again.
Zong Shen wore a finger tiger on his own hand, and suddenly felt that he had made a mistake.
Because it takes courage to launch a close attack at this time.
The side of the Balrog boss returned to its scorching state.
To approach it is no less than placing your hand in a red-hot furnace.
"Would you like to bring some more water?"
He thought silently in his heart.
In fact, this method is not impossible.
With Feihu's speed, it only takes a few minutes to reach the island in the middle of the lake.
At that time, he can use the [Water Condensation Orb (Purple)] to reserve fifty tons of lake water!
