His arrow had just been released when the four zombies struck. They all charged straight ahead. Instinctively, Lin Tianhao wanted to dodge. Unfortunately, with his movement speed reduced by fifty percent, he was powerless to evade the zombies' reckless charges.
"Bang!"
-1280.
-1283.
...
Damage numbers appeared one after another above Lin Tianhao's head. He waited until the skill effects ended before launching a furious counterattack. Each of his attacks was a critical hit. With five percent life-steal, Lin Tianhao was able to recover over four hundred health points per second. Coupled with his Resurrection skill, the Treant Set, and the Nine-Compound Longbow, his health regeneration reached over a thousand points per second. Five hundred from Resurrection, one hundred and thirty from the incomplete Treant Set, one hundred from the Nine-Compound Longbow, and over four hundred from life-steal. Such healing was truly formidable. Even facing the attacks of four Black Iron bosses simultaneously, he could barely hold his ground.
A smile appeared on Lin Tianhao's face. As long as he could stabilize the situation, the battle would become much easier. However, the next attack from the Purple-Haired Zombie caused his expression to change drastically. The Purple-Haired Zombie had used Bite. Despite his best efforts to dodge and use arrows to interrupt their attacks, with both movement and attack speed reduced, he could at most control two Purple-Haired Zombies at the same time. He couldn't cover all fronts.
The result was that he was bitten by the Purple-Haired Zombie.
-1958.
-299.
-299.
...
Lin Tianhao felt somewhat overwhelmed. The Bite attack also caused poisoning, and it could stack with the poisoning effect from Corpse Gas Emission. Now, with both poisoning buffs on him, his health was dropping even faster. There was no way around it; Lin Tianhao had to end the battle quickly.
Finally, the first Purple-Haired Zombie fell. Lin Tianhao let out a sigh of relief. With one less Purple-Haired Zombie, the layers of Corpse Gas Emission would decrease, and the damage he took per second would be reduced.
Then the second and third zombies fell!
When the last Purple-Haired Zombie was defeated, Lin Tianhao collapsed to the ground. Damn it! Without detoxification skills or abilities to remove negative buffs, this was a significant weakness. This was where the importance of a priest was evident. Even if Lin Tianhao had an ordinary priest by his side to detoxify him and remove negative buffs, the battle would have been much easier. And this was just a Black Iron boss. If he faced world bosses later, the pressure would be even greater.
After his health was restored to full, Lin Tianhao focused on the area ahead. The layout here was very similar to the Twisted Jungle, so in the last checkpoint, there should be a Bronze-level boss.
Entering the last checkpoint, Lin Tianhao immediately looked around. In front of this checkpoint, there were two crystal coffins. The one on the left contained a mummy, while the one on the right was empty. Lin Tianhao frowned.
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, Lin Tianhao turned and fired an arrow. A zombie with a ferocious face appeared behind him, its claw less than a centimeter away from him. Fortunately, Lin Tianhao's Twist Bow Technique had already been unleashed. The immense impact force of the arrow sent the zombie flying.
At the same time, Lin Tianhao continuously increased the distance between them and kept firing arrows while checking the zombie's attributes.
Iceflame Zombie King (Bronze): Level 10.
Health: 1091320/1100000.
Attack: 1560.
Skills: Charge, Ice and Fire Dual Realm, Freeze, Flame Burst, Zombie Shadows, Ice and Fire Wheel.
Lin Tianhao raised an eyebrow and continued his relentless attacks. The Iceflame Zombie King was very fast. As soon as Lin Tianhao's arrow was released, it had already moved from its original position. Moreover, as a zombie, its reaction speed was much faster than Lin Tianhao had imagined, and its agility was also beyond his expectations. But these factors were not enough to leave Lin Tianhao helpless. With his attack speed unaffected, four arrows per second were more than enough to block all of the Iceflame Zombie King's movements. Moreover, Lin Tianhao's attacks were extremely precise, leaving the Iceflame Zombie King with no choice but to take the hits.
Realizing that dodging was futile, the Iceflame Zombie King decided to charge straight at Lin Tianhao after taking a direct hit. At the same time, it raised its hand, and a ball of flame appeared in its palm. Then, something utterly outrageous happened. As the Iceflame Zombie King raised its hand, flames also appeared on its body.
"Ding, you have been affected by flame burning and will continue to lose health."
-915.
-915.
...
Lin Tianhao felt a chill run down his spine. This kind of lock-on skill, which directly caused continuous health loss, really made him feel the pressure. Especially since the opponent was a Bronze boss with quite formidable attributes.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Tianhao had no way to remove the burning effect and could only increase his output to try to kill the Iceflame Zombie King in the shortest time possible. The Iceflame Zombie King was too agile, and Lin Tianhao's four arrows could only hit two or even one at a time. Moreover, since it was difficult to attack its weak points, the critical hit probability was also reduced.
After dodging Lin Tianhao's arrows, the Iceflame Zombie King raised both hands.
Lin Tianhao's face changed.
"Ding, you have been affected by Ice and Fire Dual Realm and will continue to lose health."
-1598.
-1598.
...
Lin Tianhao: ???
What the hell kind of monster is this? With all these negative effects, it's simply inhumane. Two lock-on skills, both causing continuous health loss, left him with no room for maneuver.
"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to clear the dungeon this time," Lin Tianhao's expression was not good. His attributes were already monstrous, and he couldn't accept the possibility of failing here.
With this thought in mind, Lin Tianhao's arrow attacks became even more precise. Predicting movement! This was a basic skill for archers, but the gap between the top players and ordinary players was very obvious. Under Lin Tianhao's focused predictive attacks, the Iceflame Zombie King finally began to struggle.
"Now's the time," Lin Tianhao seized a fleeting opportunity to knock the Iceflame Zombie King into the air. Then, he continued with relentless aerial combos, dealing massive damage.
"You have no chance now," Lin Tianhao's gaze was extremely serious. He would not allow himself to fail. In a state of complete focus, the outcome was already determined. The reason was simple. Every detail of the Iceflame Zombie King was captured by Lin Tianhao. He had completely eliminated any possibility of the Iceflame Zombie King landing. Even while keeping the Iceflame Zombie King airborne, Lin Tianhao was also interrupting the skills it was preparing to release. It was the ultimate attack control.
"Ding, you have killed the Iceflame Zombie King. Experience +10850. Since you have not left the Novice Village, you cannot gain experience points."
