Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 389: Frost Giant Earthshaker
Murphy passed through the light curtain and stepped into the cave of the Frost Dragon's Nest. Behind him, the figures of adventurers passed through one after another and appeared in the open space at the entrance of the Frost Dragon's Nest dungeon.
70 adventurers, led by six heroes, quickly gathered here.
[System prompt: You have entered the area of the plot battle [The Elegy of the Dragon Slayer], and your identity has been determined to be 'Brave Prince Aidan'. Please prepare for battle. ]
As soon as they entered the cave, they could immediately feel a biting chill coming towards them, which was colder and more deadly than the biting wind and snow outside.
The cold seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow and even the air was frozen. Fortunately, there were more people and heating was more convenient. A frost protection barrier kept the cold out.
Everyone looked at the cave in front of them. The walls on both sides were made of solid blue ice that reflected the light of the torches. The frozen rocks were covered with ice and snow, forming a smooth and spacious passage that led to the depths of the copy.
The dark cave is tall and steep, and the interior of the mountain seems to be completely hollowed out, forming complex terrain and magnificent cave tunnels.
In the distance, you can see two frost giants carrying huge icicles guarding the entrance to the dungeon. Each of them is more than ten meters tall and has tens of thousands of health points.
After all, it is a 100-person guild-level copy, and even the monsters have gained attribute enhancements, and each one is very tanky.
Murphy took a deep breath of the cold air in the cave and turned to look at everyone.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Everyone, now we have no way out, let's do as we agreed before and prepare for battle! Don't be careless, we can only succeed and not fail!"
"Don't worry, Captain. We will fight to the death !"
"That's right, Lord. You have risked everything. What else can we say? Don't worry, we are equipped with the best equipment."
"Just start the group, Captain!"
Because there is a certain probability that adventurers will drop their equipment upon death, when attacking a new dungeon, players usually equip themselves with store equipment or cheap blue and green equipment, so that they will not feel bad even if the equipment explodes.
Only when you are 90 percent sure will you wear the best equipment.
But when playing a story campaign, you naturally have to give it your all.
These seventy adventurers in front of us can be regarded as the top players in the game, each of them is well-equipped and has superb skills.
Murphy nodded. Although the hero is the core of the team, the power of adventurers is also indispensable and must be encouraged.
He waved his hand violently.
"go ahead!"
The team immediately advanced into the cave in battle formation. A total of 76 people were arranged in a four-layer deep formation inside and outside.
Walking in the front are naturally the two warrior-type heroes Murphy and Varian.
Murphy held the Dragon Slaying Sword in one hand and the Storm Controller in the other. With two huge swords in his hands, he looked very domineering.
Having learned the Titan's Grip, he can now finally wield two-handed weapons. I have to say, judging from the appearance alone, holding two giant door-panel swords in his hands is really a bit exaggerated.
It was also thanks to his 100+ strength, otherwise he wouldn't be able to lift such a weapon.
Varian looked at Murphy in surprise, "Brother seems to have really become stronger."
"Of course . But you, my second brother, haven't you found any good weapons recently?"
These words were of course meaningful. Varian was still using his 'Salamani' at this time, and in his other hand he had a lion shield. Murphy thought he was finally going to show the power of Frostmourne.
I didn't expect this guy to hide things from his eldest brother. Mo Fei couldn't help but feel annoyed. Alas, he is a brother, but he doesn't trust his eldest brother. It's sad.
Varian shook his head. "I found it, but I can't use it easily. However, this sword alone is enough - look at my elder brother."
As they were talking, a frost giant had already discovered the group and rushed towards them, roaring.
Varian put away his shield, held Salamani in both hands, leaped up, and crashed into the frost giant like a human cannonball - Fearless Slash!
With a whoosh, Salamani penetrated deeply into the chest of the frost giant.
-25000 (critical hit)! With just one hit, the powerful elite monster was instantly killed and fell to the ground.
Drawing out the Salamani, Varian raised the weapon in his hand towards Murphy.
Murphy couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. Haha, this is quite interesting. Seeing another goalkeeper rushing towards Varian, Murphy did not give in.
Thundercloud incarnation!
It instantly transformed into a red rolling thundercloud and flew directly over the head of the Frost Giant.
The frost giant was frightened and looked up at the controlling thundercloud. The next second - the wrath of the thundercloud!
The thundercloud rolled down.
Boom! The red lightning exploded on the frost giant's face, and the explosion knocked the frost giant back and fell.
-3109 (stun attack)!
Murphy transformed into a human form and thrust both swords into the frost giant's neck at the same time, then chopped off the huge head.
-21891 (critical hit)!
He raised the weapon in his hand towards Varian, who laughed out loud, and both of them showed a competitive spirit in their eyes.
Varian (Storm Prince): "Brother Aidan, how about we compete today to see who can kill more frost giants?"
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Okay, let me see if you have fallen behind in your growth during this period."
Fatal throw!
Varian threw Salamani with all his might, and he spun right into the heart of a frost giant, killing him instantly.
Storm Split Sky Slash!
A huge sky-shattering storm blasted a frost giant's flesh and blood into pieces, and he fell to the ground with a bang - killing him instantly.
Shield block-Rising Dragon Slash!
Varian took a powerful blow from the Frost Giant at close range, then swung his sword into the air and split the Frost Giant's head in half at the neck.
Greatsword blocking——Blade flurry!
He first used the dragon-slaying greatsword to block the attack of the frost giant, then slashed left and right with the two greatswords, and used the two-handed greatswords to perform a double-sword move, chopping the frost giant into seven or eight pieces.
The two of us, one for each of us, chopped down all the dozen or so frost giants in the first frost passage of the dungeon.
The adventurers behind were all stunned. Oh my god, is this the strength of a hero? It's too fucking incredible.
If it were adventurers, even a team of a dozen or twenty people would have to fight for several minutes to take down a frost giant.
The combat power of this hero is probably equal to that of dozens of adventurers, but it only occupies five people in the dungeon. It's too BUG.
In fact, those who can achieve this level are certainly not ordinary heroes. They must have extraordinary strength and top-level weapons. Ordinary heroes do not have this ability.
This group of adventurers didn't have much time to take action, but they did get a lot of good stuff from the monsters' corpses. It was agreed that all the previous drops would be given to the adventurers, and Murphy had no intention of going back on his word, and Varian didn't care about those drops at all.
Finally the team arrived at the entrance of BOSS room No. 1.
In the huge cave, a frost giant holding an icicle was standing in the middle of the hall.
This frost giant is more than thirty meters tall, twice as tall as the previous ones, and eight times larger in size. It stands there like a Titan in mythology, and is scary to look at.
Murphy and Varian just felt the impact.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Haha, my second brother is really quite strong."
Varian (Storm Prince): "Big brother is the one I admire. I didn't expect you to be so strong."
Varian's words were sincere. Although he had always admired Murphy's strategies, he was still quite proud of his personal strength. If he did not transform into a dragon, he was confident that he could defeat this big brother.
But at this moment he discovered that his eldest brother was no longer the same eldest brother as before, and his strength was so strong that he even felt unsure.
This is of course because Murphy's level has increased. When Murphy first met Varian, he was only level 30 or 40, and now he is level 70. Although it is still a little worse than Varian, he is already a high-level hero. The attribute points alone are completely different.
On the other hand, it is also because the skills and equipment have reached perfection. Dual wielding legendary plot weapons is a treatment that most people can't even dream of. With a set of top-level equipment and the blessing of various heroic expertise, it is hard not to be powerful.
The most powerful one is naturally the Dragon Feast skill, which is very superb.
The two were making fun of each other, and Kaya Windrunner said nervously: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't scare the boss."
"Don't worry, we haven't entered the BOSS room, the BOSS will definitely not be triggered."
Murphy had run a dungeon before, so he had a very clear understanding of some of the designs in the dungeon.
Although the game Sky World strives to be realistic in many aspects, people often overlook that it is a game, but there are exceptions in some places - such as in dungeons. Here, the rules of the game are abnormally materialized. As long as you follow the rules, you don't have to worry about problems. As long as you don't enter the BOSS room and don't attack the BOSS, the battle will never be triggered.
He took a look at the BOSS in front of him.
Tareen (Frost Giant Earthshaker), Catastrophic BOSS Tier 3, Level 80, HP 446,000.
The attributes are indeed much improved compared to the copy in the Adventurer's Guide.
Then he carefully observed the BOSS room. When the copy BOSS fights with the player, in addition to its own abilities, it can also use combat strategies to increase the complexity of the BOSS battle. Generally speaking, this kind of front-line BOSS guarding the level only has one BOSS strategy, and the BOSS strategy is often the key point for the player's group to be wiped out.
If you can predict the battle strategy used by the BOSS in advance, it will be easier to win. Of course, you can also rely on the level of equipment to crush it, but considering the challenge level of this copy, it is obviously impossible to do so.
Then it is very important to predict the BOSS's battle strategy in advance.
Murphy carefully observed the BOSS room. There were no other small entrances in the cave, so there should be no battle strategy such as "summoning ××".
The BOSS is huge, a melee BOSS, and a giant, so it is possible to use strategies such as "violent battle" and "phase transition".
Murphy looked up, where he saw many inverted icicles, and then looked down at the smooth ice surface on the ground. He could vaguely see a cold stream of water beneath the ice.
Think of the boss's title again - the frost giant 'Earthshaker'.
He immediately came to the conclusion that the BOSS in front of him was very likely to use the 'field transformation' battle strategy.
Either it would shatter the ground, causing some adventurers to fall into the icy water and forcing them to be reduced in number, or it would shake the cave, causing the icicles above their heads to fall from the sky and hit people.
He looked around the cave twice and immediately came up with a plan.
In the central area of the cave is a large flat ice surface, while at the edge of the cave there are some protruding rocks and ice blocks that are integrated with the surrounding walls. The icicles above the head are also mainly concentrated in the central area, with very few icicles on the edge.
Murphy then instructed, "After we enter the BOSS room, everyone will stay on the ice wall at the edge of the room. Only Varian and I will stay in the inner field to fight. Do you understand?"
"Alright, put on the buff and prepare for battle!"
Various buffs were bestowed upon the two of them.
Brute force!
Stoneskin!
Swiftness!
Fake life!
Blessing of strength!
With a bunch of BUFFs added, all kinds of attributes increased a lot. Feeling the powerful force in his body, Murphy thought that this adventurer was really not giving in vain.
"Get on Varian!"
The two of them entered the BOSS room first, and behind them, the adventurers split up and walked to both sides.
Sure enough, the Frost Giant BOSS responded immediately.
Taryn (Frost Giant Earthshaker): "This is Lord Bolerius's territory, you puny mortals, I will crush you!"
After saying that, he took rumbling steps and led the two men to attack.
"Here we go! Everyone, spread out. We'll hold the boss first. Once we've stabilized it, you can attack us later."
A BOSS of this level cannot be killed easily. The most reliable way is to kill it by draining its blood.
The two men rushed towards the BOSS from both sides at the same time. Tareon hesitated for a moment, but still smashed Varian with a hammer.
As expected, Varian is of a higher level and rank, so the boss will judge him as the biggest threat.
Varian didn't block, but rolled sideways quickly, boom! The icicle hit him hard, leaving cracks on the ice, but Varian jumped and landed on the icicle, rushing towards Tareen along the icicle.
He rushed to Tareen.
roar!
The giant roars!
The violent shock wave knocked Varian directly down.
Murphy took advantage of this time to rush behind the giant and used a spinning slash to hit Tareen's heels continuously, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
-582! -498! -513!
The damage caused by pedicure was indeed limited. Tareen screamed, suddenly raised his injured left foot, and stepped on Murphy.
Murphy quickly dodged with an assassin's steps.
Tareon immediately raised his foot to step on the giant again, but Varian seized the opportunity and attacked the giant's right foot.
As the saying goes, if you are too big, you need to cut your feet. When dealing with such a huge BOSS, the most common way to fight is to chop off its feet.
The two men attacked each other with swords, and Tareen kept raising his feet to step down, but each time the two men dodged, and the other man took the opportunity to attack.
In the blink of an eye, nearly 10,000 health points were cut off. However, compared with the BOSS's health of more than 400,000, this damage is less than 3%, which is really nothing.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac) : "It's been stabilized. Let's attack now."
At this time, the adventurers who had already taken their positions in the distance immediately began to attack from a distance.
Bows and arrows, magic, fireballs and lightning rained down on the frost giant Tarenain. It was hard to miss a target due to his huge size, but Tarenain was still trying hard to play the mole game.
While his legs were being chopped off and he was bombarded by various magic spells, his health was dropping rapidly.
Although over 400,000 health points seem exaggerated, under the full output of the adventurer, the health points drop quite quickly. In just a few minutes, the health points drop below 50%.
Tareen (Frost Giant Earthshaker): "Tareen - Angry!"
With a roar from the giant, he suddenly raised his right foot and raised his hands exaggeratedly high, as if he was accumulating some kind of strength.
Murphy suddenly became alert.
"Varian, be careful, it's about to use its ultimate move."
"I know."
The two retreated quickly.
Shake the earth! Boom!
The kick finally landed, and for a moment the entire cave trembled.
The next second, icicles on the dome began to fall one after another.
Each of the huge icicles was six or seven meters long. If hit by one, an adventurer with a fragile skin would be killed instantly. Fortunately, Murphy had already predicted this, and the icicles continued to fall without hitting anyone.
Since players are all on the edge of the ice wall, there is no need to worry about being hit, so this battle strategy is completely useless.
Frost is collapsing!
A huge and powerful blow!
The giant roars!
The Frost Giant used his three axes over and over again. Finally, as his health reached the bottom, he fell down with a bang.
[World Announcement: In the year 1439 of the Sky Era, Prince Aidan and Prince Varian teamed up to kill the frost giant Tareen in the Frost Dragon's Nest. This event has been recorded in the Sky Chronicles.]
Murphy looked at the giant's body and wondered if this battle was easy.
