Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 427 Subduing the Flame Guardian
Aqua Rose looked at the confident smile on Shi Feng's face. Although she didn't say it, she was still a little skeptical in her heart.
If it were an ordinary Lord monster, coupled with Shi Feng's terrifying output and support, it would be easy to deal with, as Aqua Rose had witnessed firsthand.
However, the Level 28 Flame Guardians were somewhat special. Due to the unique environment of White Mist Canyon, they were constantly in a state of frenzy. Their attack power and attack speed were far stronger than Lord monsters outside, and their combat power could be compared to high-ranking Lord monsters of the same level outside.
If it were just one, it might be possible, but there were sixteen Flame Guardians outside the cave. This was equivalent to dealing with sixteen high-ranking Lords at once. The team only had 500 people in total, which meant an average of 31 people to deal with one Level 28 high-ranking Lord.
In God's Domain, it normally took more than a hundred people to deal with one wild high-ranking Lord, and some powerful high-ranking Lords even required five hundred people to take down. Moreover, each Flame Guardian in front of them possessed a flame domain that covered a radius of 50 yards. Any player under the flame domain would lose four hundred health points every three seconds. Even if the healers tried their best to heal, it would be impossible to restore the health points lost by everyone.
Without a team with high fire resistance, it was impossible to survive in the flame domain.
Aqua Rose really couldn't think of any way to deal with these Flame Guardians.
Shi Feng walked towards a place more than 30 yards away from the entrance without saying a word, adjusting his position back and forth. However, at this distance, the Flame Guardians outside the cave had already discovered Shi Feng and blocked the entrance, wanting to rush in and tear Shi Feng to pieces. Unfortunately, the entrance was too narrow to accommodate even one Flame Guardian, let alone three or two squeezing in.
Although these Flame Guardians couldn't get in, they weren't stupid either. They directly condensed spears of flame and threw them at Shi Feng.
The scorching spears of flame bloomed with a burning white light, causing the air to tremble.
Shoo, shoo, shoo...
Six spears of flame flew in from outside the cave in a row. Their speed was so fast that even the air made a roaring sound. The ground they passed over burst into a fire snake, rushing straight towards Shi Feng.
The speed of the spears of flame was indeed fast, but Shi Feng's speed wasn't slow either.
At the same time as the spears of flame flew into the cave, Shi Feng also moved his body. When the spears of flame flew to Shi Feng's position, Shi Feng himself had already left the spot by 2 yards. All six spears of flame missed.
"This position is not bad."
Shi Feng completely ignored the Flame Guardians' attacks, focusing on measuring the attack distance and angle, as if the Flame Guardians had never attacked him at all...
"Guild Leader's dodging speed is so fast. He can even dodge such fast attacks. I can only take them head-on." Cola couldn't help but sigh with envy at Shi Feng's understated dodging, "If only I had half of Guild Leader's dodging speed."
If he had this dodging speed, not to mention becoming the number one tank in Star-Moon Kingdom, he would at least be in the top ten.
"Cola, you have a lot to learn." Fire Dance smiled faintly, "Guild Leader's dodging of the Flame Guardians' attacks involves a lot of skills. It's not just about speed, but more about insight and judgment. Even if Guild Leader's speed was the same as yours, Guild Leader could easily dodge them."
"Linear attacks are inherently monotonous. As long as you have enough insight, they are easy to crack. The Flame Guardians' attacks are very fast, and our speed definitely can't keep up. This requires precise judgment. After the Flame Guardians attack, immediately make the most appropriate choice and make the smallest body movements to achieve the best effect."
"But that's not all. Look at the position Guild Leader is standing in. For safety, Guild Leader is standing exactly at the 40-yard maximum attack range for players. At this distance, even if the speed of the spear of flame is twenty times that of Guild Leader, it needs to travel 40 yards from launch to hit. This time is enough for Guild Leader to move 2 yards. However, this requires precise timing of the Flame Guardian's attacks. If you act too early, you will be hit by the Flame Guardian's spear of flame."
Hearing what Fire Dance said, everyone suddenly understood.
What seemed like a simple dodge actually involved so many skills.
"The top seven ranged DPS, come here one by one and try to dodge the attacks of the spear of flame. Healers, pay attention to healing. Guardian Knights, turn on the fire resistance aura and pay attention to giving protection blessings. Don't let anyone die." Shi Feng said in the team chat after confirming the position.
The Flame Guardians' flame domain was indeed a very powerful team-wipe skill, but in this situation, it wasn't impossible to fight back.
Based on the size of the cave entrance and the distance, Shi Feng had already experimented. At a distance of 40 yards, if each person was given 3 to 4 yards of dodging space, there would be enough room for eight players to attack the Flame Guardians outside the cave.
The Flame Guardian was just a Lord that mainly focused on melee combat. Its ranged attacks were very limited and monotonous. It was entirely possible to dodge the ranged attacks, but this required higher insight and judgment from the players. As for the speed issue, the speed of the spear of flame wouldn't be twenty times faster than the members of Zero Wing's main force, even for mages.
Shi Feng even deliberately used a slower speed to dodge the attacks. He could still easily dodge them at a distance of 40 yards.
If the seven ranged DPS were protected by the fire resistance aura, and the effect of the flame domain didn't stack, they would only lose 300 health points every 3 seconds. There were more than sixty healers in the team, which was more than enough to heal the seven people. They could even take turns to fight a war of attrition.
Afterward, the top seven ranged DPS in the team tried one by one. They were Aqua Rose, Blackie, Ice Queen Su Qianliu, one of the Five Demon Generals, Low調北風 (Diao Bei Feng), the ranger who was also one of the Five Demon Generals, Purple Smoke, and others. Although they were a little struggling at the beginning, these people were not ordinary players. They were all experts of Zero Wing. After getting used to it for a while, they quickly adapted to the Flame Guardians' attacks and dodged them very easily.
After the experiment, Shi Feng reorganized the team and explained what everyone had to do. Then, they began to attack the Level 28 Flame Guardians.
As soon as the battle began, ice magic and arrows bombarded the Flame Guardians outside the cave. However, the Flame Guardians' lava armor had amazing defense. Most people only dealt more than 300 damage. Only Aqua Rose could deal around 500, and Blackie's Shadow Arrow could deal more than 600 damage.
As for Purple Smoke, although she was a Star Envoy, her instant burst damage was still a little worse than Aqua Rose, a Tier 1 Elementalist, and Blackie, a Tier 1 Curse Sorcerer with an Epic staff. She only dealt more than 400 damage, but it was still very impressive.
The attacked Flame Guardians roared angrily and became extremely violent, throwing spears of flame wildly. Unfortunately, they were all dodged by everyone.
The Flame Guardians were not Bosses in dungeons. They only had 700,000 health points, and their combat recovery was only 7,000 every 5 seconds. The total damage dealt by the seven people was much higher, and they could slowly grind the Flame Guardians to death.
At the corner, Shi Feng threw out the Scorching Flame Stars with a whoosh, accurately hitting the Flame Guardian and instantly dealing more than 1,000 damage. Then, he triggered the Scorching Flame Stars' four phantom images, dealing four consecutive damage of more than 200 points, becoming the person with the highest output.
Everyone was stunned.
Shi Feng was a Swordsman, not a ranged class. How could the damage he dealt be so much higher than that of an Elementalist, who was known as a turret? Moreover, this Elementalist was Aqua Rose.
If Shi Feng wasn't the Guild Leader, everyone would have wanted to curse him for being a monster. What were they, the ranged classes, supposed to do!
"Guild Leader, you're cheating. Tell me, what good stuff did you secretly eat? Why is your damage so much higher than mine?"
Aqua Rose looked at the damage numbers popping up above the Flame Guardian's head and was speechless. Originally, Aqua Rose wanted to surpass Shi Feng in terms of output to satisfy her little vanity, but now her heart was broken...
