Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Sooner or Later, You Will be Hung from the Streetlight!
The Shield-Value Skeletons were just buying time, keeping the boss from running amok.
The real killer move, of course, was the Boss corpse material stealthily taken out of the Spatial Backpack.
And this time, it was the corpse of a Heroic Boss with a whopping 1.5 million HP.
Zi Liyuan could tell how smart this group of bosses was, and they were single-mindedly charging at him; if not for the Shield Combat Skeletons controlling timing to throw taunt skills, the bosses would have long since rushed to his face.
Since that's the case, if one is to use the Corpse Explosion Technique to blast them, one must start with a severe one; otherwise, who knows if it will be possible to blast them later on.
A dozen Shield Combat Skeletons quietly dragged the corpses near the bosses, dropped the corpses on the ground, and then used taunt skills on the spot to lure a large group of bosses over.
The enhanced bosses, whose combat power had increased by at least 50% from their normal state, could break the Skeletons' Bone Shields with just a regular hit, and reduce their HP by a large margin, shattering them into bone fragments on the second hit.
Once they used their skills, the Shield Combat Skeletons would fall in droves. However, these bosses were highly intelligent and rarely used their skills, as if they were intentionally saving them for a burst of executions.
Of course, there were some mage-type bosses that would still use spells to clear the field; basically, one large-area spell would kill half of the Shield Combat Skeletons.
If Zi Liyuan's summoning hadn't been continuous, he wouldn't have been able to replenish them in time.
As the group of bosses cut through the skeletons and were almost upon Zi Liyuan, the Boss corpses were also amidst these bosses.
The explosion began!
Three Heroic Boss corpses, after being eroded by Death Aura, swelled up crazily and burst open in an instant, as massive Death Aura rampaged back and forth in a ten-meter radius.
In an instant, a group of bosses' heads flew with several terrifying damages of 800K+.
Many bosses huddled together. With one rush of Death Aura, they blacked out, went limp, and with a "plop," they fell to the ground.
The next moment, countless items burst out—blue, green, white, gray, scattered all over the ground, almost burying the boss corpses.
At this moment, the entire scene suddenly paused.
The remaining bosses didn't expect so many companions to be wiped out by a human mage in an instant.
Zi Liyuan was also stunned; the scene of the equipment exploding was too unexpected.
But the next moment, his eyes shone, and he responded eagerly, fixating on that Level 40 Lord Boss in the center of the arena!
The dungeon rules had changed, the professional players could now truly die, so monsters began to drop loot!
So, wouldn't it be reasonable for a Level 40 Lord Boss to drop a few silver-quality items?!
Zi Liyuan glanced at his talent and tenderly greeted Lady Luck, the wife inside his heart, as if saying, "Tonight I'm going to flip your sign, prepare your black stockings, and all that, honey."
Without waiting for these stunned bosses to react, Corpse Explosion Technique started to set off once again.
Amidst the thunderous explosions within the group of bosses, they continued ceaselessly.
As one boss after another died from the Death Aura erosion, Zi Liyuan's gaze fixated tightly on the Lord Boss.
Aside from the initial surprise explosion, the Lord Boss hadn't been hit by the Corpse Explosion Technique even once, and even when the Death Aura swept over it, it suffered no further damage.
(O_o)??
When all the smaller bosses beside the boss had died, Zi Liyuan, full of question marks, stopped casting.
With a furrowed brow, he stared in amazement at the Lord Boss who had eaten the Corpse Explosion Technique without a scratch.
"Interesting, except for the initial three explosions that caused me to lose health, the subsequent blasts didn't reduce even a sliver of my health."
Surprised by the sudden failure of the Corpse Explosion Technique, Zi Liyuan watched as Shen Yurou, standing beside him, drew a large sniper rifle and aimed it without hesitation at the Lord Boss's forehead from a dozen meters away, and pulled the trigger.
With a "bang" of the gunshot, the bullet shot out of the chamber and exploded on the boss's forehead in a flash.
A damage number of "-3998" floated up from the top of the BOSS's head.
"Special status, a vital attack can explode for several times the damage."
It was just one shot, and Shen Yurou had already figured out the BOSS's situation.
"I see now, this guy got hit by your shot and didn't move at all, just standing there like a target. Is it playing it safe for fear of my continuing barrage of Corpse Explosion Technique, so it would rather let you take potshots than break its stance?"
Getting shot in the forehead and this BOSS still didn't move a bit, something was off.
But Zi Liyuan didn't give it much thought, take advantage of his weakness to finish him off, right? If it wanted to be a living target, then so be it, until death!
"Lao Tie, smoke this guy for me!"
With a clap on the Infernal Puppet guarding him, he was ruthless towards the only surviving Lord Boss on the field and sent out his ace, Lao Tie.
The enormous Infernal Puppet, like a steel tank, charged forward, flinging the lingering BOSS corpses on its path.
In just a few strides, it reached the Lord Boss, grabbed the throat of its fate with one massive iron hand, while the other big iron palm started slapping it furiously from side to side.
The unending "slap slap slap" of smacks sounded like delightful music, bringing immense satisfaction to both Zi Liyuan and Shen Yurou.
"Yurou, I'm going to make a fortune this time."
Around fifty hero BOSSes had fallen, and the ground was covered in layers of items, but what excited Zi Liyuan even more was the equipment flashing with silver light on the ground!
They were actually dropping silver hero equipment!
Not only the hero BOSSes in the wild instances but also those in the martial trial instances had begun to drop silver hero equipment!
Crazy, so fucking crazy, but he loved it!
"We are going to get rich!"
Shen Yurou gave a sidelong glance at someone who intended to hog all the loot. If looks could kill, she would have certainly carved up this shameless guy into pieces.
"As a contracted worker who signed a deal with me, you need to clearly understand your place. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine, so it's me who's going to get rich!"
"Damn capitalist! Zi Liyuan, you'll be hung up on a streetlight sooner or later!"
Angry to the point of near explosion, Shen Yurou turned fiercely and vented her indignation and frustration with a "bang bang bang" on the BOSS, who was being pinned down and slapped.
After teasing the girl a bit, Zi Liyuan hardly had to make a move against the BOSS himself.
Despite the BOSS being significantly strengthened and evolved into a Lord template, it was still a First Order BOSS. Against a Second Order Infernal Puppet that had mutated various skills, it was simply a case of easy suppression.
At that moment, Lao Tie held the BOSS by the neck, pinned it to the ground, and the other hand kept crazily slapping away. The whole head had swollen to a size larger than before.
As for the BOSS's desperate struggles and the random casting of skills, when they hit the Infernal Puppet, they were as ineffective as tickling, not even reducing health as quickly as Lao Tie's slaps were healing it.
The Lord BOSS's health was continuously draining, being a First Order creature with nearly 5 million health. Initially, the Corpse Explosion Technique blasted away almost half of it, and now being hammered while pinned to the ground, it would still take some time to finish off.
With that time, Zi Liyuan had already begun to clean up the battlefield.
