#2073 - Single Duel
Lindro led the group back a few steps slowly, staring intently at the black rift, reminding them, "Be careful, it's the leader-level creature, the Three-Eyed Serpent. It's coming out. Be prepared to deal with it."
Fang Heng took a moment to glance at the game time.
Twenty-three minutes had passed since entering the game.
We need to quickly deal with the BOSS. The more time we have left, the more time we'll have to find a way out later.
He estimated that the BOSS's strength wasn't high.
After all, compared to the aura of the Yin Vein, the icy aura leaking from the rift was too weak.
Let's do it!
Whoosh!
Before the Three-Eyed Serpent could fully emerge from the underground rift and appear before everyone, Fang Heng took the initiative, leaping forward at the first moment!
"Bang!!!!!"
In the next moment, with a loud explosion, a huge figure burst out from the rift!
Dense gravel scattered in all directions!
A large amount of flying gravel smashed towards Fang Heng!
Fang Heng frowned at the sight, directly bracing himself and accelerating towards the Three-Eyed Serpent!
"Pa! Pa pa!"
Dense gravel bombarded Fang Heng, instantly causing a series of damage numbers to appear.
Most of the damage was in the teens and twenties.
Not enough to worry about!
The minor damage caused by the gravel rapidly healed under the 'Undying Body' effect.
At this time, the Three-Eyed Serpent finally revealed its full form to everyone.
It was a large snake-like creature, with a pair of wings growing closer to its head.
Facing the approaching Fang Heng, the Three-Eyed Serpent swayed its body, and a tiny crack suddenly opened between its eyebrows, revealing a dark purple pupil!
Illusory Eye!
Fang Heng's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the Illusory Eye, and a dazed look flashed in his eyes.
Then, the magic circle reflection in Fang Heng's right pupil spun rapidly!
His eyes instantly regained clarity!
[Hint: The player is affected by the Three-Eyed Serpent's special effect...]
[Hint: The player's talent - Eye of Omniscience - takes effect. The player is immune to this mental magic attack.]
The Three-Eyed Serpent's movements slowed for a beat, seemingly puzzled that Fang Heng didn't fall into chaos as it had expected.
Whoosh!!
Taking advantage of this gap, Fang Heng instantly closed the distance between himself and the Three-Eyed Serpent, and swung the Holy Scepter forward with a fierce blow!
Whoosh!!
The Three-Eyed Serpent's tail lashed out like a steel whip, heading straight for Fang Heng!
"Bang!!!!!"
A muffled impact sound.
"Hiss!!!!!"
The Three-Eyed Serpent hissed, struck on the tail by the staff, and the whole body was sent flying backward! It crashed heavily on the ground with a bang!
One strike!
Watching such a huge monster being sent flying by Fang Heng's single strike, the Lindro team in the rear was a little dumbfounded.
So strong?
The monster had just spawned, and it was already sent flying?
"Quick! Help!"
He hadn't even had time to use his scouting skill to determine the BOSS's weaknesses and attack methods. By the time he reacted, Fang Heng was already chasing the BOSS, the Three-Eyed Serpent, all the way, hammering it with the Holy Scepter!
How did it feel like the Three-Eyed Serpent BOSS was not as strong as the elite Snow Monster they had encountered earlier?
There was no need for healing either. Sark immediately switched to his Holy-type equipment and joined Lindro and the others in dealing damage to the BOSS.
The battle lasted less than three minutes, and the Three-Eyed Serpent's health was depleted.
Fang Heng then put away the scepter in his hand and retreated.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Heng, and then at the corpse left behind by the Three-Eyed Serpent after its death.
It's over?
It's that simple?
[Hint: The player has successfully killed the Three-Eyed Serpent. The player has completed the Crusader Trial mission.]
Fang Heng glanced at the game prompt.
Good, confirmed kill.
Along the way, none of the creatures killed dropped treasures or materials.
It seemed to be a game setting.
Items cannot be obtained through killing in the trial.
Fang Heng thought to himself.
With less than two and a half hours left, he could try searching this world in the remaining time to find other exits.
"Fang Heng, this..."
Everyone turned their attention to Fang Heng.
Completing the mission so quickly and easily was definitely not due to the mission's difficulty being off.
It was because of Fang Heng.
Fang Heng's overall strength was even enough to crush the BOSS, the Three-Eyed Serpent!
Looking back and thinking about it, even without them, Fang Heng could have completed the BOSS solo.
At most, it would have taken more time.
Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Fang Heng realized that his performance was a little too outstanding, and nodded to explain, "My special ability allows me to be immune to illusion effects. It was countered by me."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
That made sense!
One of the most difficult abilities of the Three-Eyed Serpent was illusion and mental manipulation.
Fang Heng was completely immune to this, which was a great degree of restraint.
But even so, it was extremely difficult for Fang Heng to achieve an all-around stat crush on the BOSS.
"Next..."
Just as Fang Heng was about to say that they would go around again, a game prompt flashed before everyone's eyes.
[Hint: The player's team has completed the current trial mission (A). The player has obtained 5000 Crusader experience points and 500 Crusader points.]
Huh?!
What?!
Fang Heng was stunned.
It seemed to be a little different from what he had expected...
Before he could think more, in the next second, a rotating alchemy magic circle appeared under the feet of all the players in the team at the same time.
Holy power flowed within the magic circle.
In the next second, everyone disappeared into the magic circle.
...
"Congratulations to everyone for successfully completing the Crusader's Trial. You may enter the resting area in the rear to rest, or you may continue to the next trial. Before the Crusader rune effect expires, you may move freely within the Eternal Holy City."
When he opened his eyes again, Fang Heng found himself in another great hall.
Obviously, the atmosphere in this hall was much more relaxed than before. Groups of players were gathered together, talking quietly.
It seemed that everyone here had completed their missions.
Fang Heng noticed that he was in a large teleportation magic circle.
Beside him, Lindro and his teammates gradually appeared.
[Hint: The player has crossed the world. The search team sent by the Divine Domain will try to lock your position again after 8+5 (increased by the artifact skill) hours.]
Eh?
Fang Heng's pupils suddenly contracted.
Not good!
The first time, it took the pursuers from the Divine Domain 24 hours to determine his location, but according to this prompt, it only took 5 hours.
The tracking time had been shortened by a full one and a half hours.
Had the Divine Domain's search power increased?
Or was it because repeatedly entering the same world had caused the tracking time to shorten?
[Hint: The player's team has completed the Crusader Trial assessment (A). The player has obtained 5000 Crusader experience points and 500 Crusader points.]
