That was a bit much, boss. A Paramount Marauder? You wouldn't even get it on the highway in this country.
Even on a national road, you'd be surrounded by armed special police in no time!
Seeing Chu Tian smile mysteriously, Jian Zhi Cang Tian pondered these thoughts, guessing Chu Tian was just joking with them.
"Let's form a team and I'll take you to level up," Chu Tian sent a party invite to the four of them.
A team of six, exactly full.
After they all joined, Chu Tian noticed these four had already reached their twenties.
Their leveling speed wasn't incredibly fast, but they were definitely in the first tier.
"You're all level twenty now. If you upgrade your gear, you can team up and go to the Howling Cave dungeon," Chu Tian said.
"Yeah, the guild brothers who reached level twenty aren't even enough to form a full raid group. Oh right, boss, are you coming with us for this dungeon?"
Chu Tian thought for a moment. The Howling Cave had three pieces of Druid set equipment. He could actually go for it, and his own gear could use an upgrade too.
"Okay, when you start the raid, you can call me. Also, tell Luo Luo to reach her twenties quickly. Then we can all go together. There's a top-tier quiver for the Divine Archer there, it can increase attack speed," Chu Tian said.
"Sister-in-law is only level fifteen. By the time she reaches twenty, we'll probably have cleared it already. We can carry her for a fast run then!" Jian Zhi Cang Tian said.
"Hmph! Little Jian Jian, are you looking down on me?" Luo Luo chimed in, giving Jian Zhi Cang Tian a nickname.
"Uh... how could I!" Jian Zhi Cang Tian quickly forced a smile.
Led by Chu Tian, the six of them entered the teleportation array. Chu Tian used the party teleport function, transporting everyone to the 'Flame Star Outpost' in the Blazing Plains.
"Where is this?" Luo Luo asked.
"This is the Blazing Plains, a level thirty map," Chu Tian replied.
"Are we going to fight level thirty monsters to level up? That's fifteen levels higher than me," Luo Luo said.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law. Back in the新手村 (Newbie Village), boss took us to fight monsters above our level. The leveling speed was awesome," Jian Zhi Cang Tian said.
"This time, it's not me leading you. This time, it's up to Luo Luo. And we're not fighting level thirty monsters either," Chu Tian said, keeping them in suspense.
After speaking, he called for everyone to follow. Outside the Flame Star Outpost, Chu Tian pointed north, where a mountain range pierced the clouds. He told them that was their destination.
It was called: "Black Iron Mountain Range"
The Flame Star Outpost was the closest teleportation point to the Black Iron Mountain Range. There were no monsters along the way, but because their levels were too low, Luo Luo still managed to aggro a level thirty Flame Dragonman.
Fortunately, they were a team this time, otherwise, even Chu Tian himself might not have been able to defeat this monster.
【Flame Dragonman】
Quality: Elite
Level: 30
Magic Attack: 824
Physical Defense: 1200
Magic Defense: 1100
Health: 80000
Skill 1: Fireball (Deals 120% magic damage to enemies. Casting time: 3.5 seconds.)
Skill 2: Flame Burst (Deals 200% magic damage to enemies. Casting time: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute.)
This kind of magic-type monster was a nemesis for shield warriors like Jian Zhi Cang Tian. Without fire resistance gear, the damage hit hard, and armor defense was useless.
The moment Luo Luo pulled the aggro, Jian Zhi Cang Tian directly activated his defensive mode, charged forward, taunted, and then used a punch to interrupt the Flame Dragonman's Fireball cast on Luo Luo.
The Dragonman's skill was interrupted, and it was silenced for 5 seconds, unable to cast any more spells. It wielded its staff and landed two normal attacks on Jian Zhi Cang Tian.
Both dealt only 1 damage, failing to break Jian Zhi Cang Tian's defense.
"This level thirty monster isn't that great. It can't even break my defense!" Jian Zhi Cang Tian said carelessly.
Seeing Jian Zhi Cang Tian could tank the hits, everyone else was relieved.
At this moment, all their attacks landed on the Dragonman's head.
-1!
-1!
-1!
-658, -50!
-3698!
Five damage numbers popped up consecutively above the Dragonman's head, and everyone was stunned.
The first three numbers were the damage dealt by Jian Zhi Cang Tian, Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni, and Yi Zhi Rou Rou.
They were mentally prepared for their own numbers, but who dealt the latter two?
Everyone's gaze turned to Chu Tian.
"Uh... the one with over six hundred damage was mine!" Chu Tian himself was stunned by the three thousand-plus damage. Luo Luo's damage was too explosive. This was a monster fifteen levels higher than her!
"Sister-in-law, what kind of damage is that?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian asked Luo Luo.
"My highest single attack skill damage bonus is for Aimed Shot, 500% damage, charges for 4 seconds, and has a 1-minute cooldown!" Luo Luo herself was surprised, and at the same time knew how powerful the weapon Chu Tian had given her was.
When everyone heard that, the 4-second charge time was quite long. For a fragile archer, being unable to move for four seconds while charging meant waiting to be melee'd and killed.
But they forgot that Luo Luo was only level fifteen, and the monster was level thirty. The damage reduction from the level gap was something no one had realized for a moment.
"Jian Zhi, be careful!" Chu Tian shouted.
"Huh?" Jian Zhi asked in confusion.
The five-second silence period ended. Just as everyone was focused on Luo Luo's damage, the Flame Dragonman had already cast its Fireball.
Bang... it landed directly on Jian Zhi Cang Tian.
-2256!
Jian Zhi Cang Tian's health bar vanished, and he fell to the ground.
His level was only twenty, and he was suppressed by ten levels. Even after activating his defensive mode, his health was only a little over 2200 points. He was instantly killed by a single Fireball from the Flame Dragonman.
"Transformation: Bear Form, Taunt!"
Chu Tian transformed directly, drawing aggro, and shouted in the party chat, "Jian Zhi, corpse run!"
"Got it!" Jian Zhi replied in the party.
Chu Tian cursed inwardly, damn it, he forgot this monster was pure magic attack.
Earlier, when Jian Zhi Cang Tian interrupted its casting and silenced it for 5 seconds, its normal attacks only dealt 1 damage, making him careless.
"Heng Dao, keep me healed!" Chu Tian shouted again.
"Mhm!" Heng Dao replied.
"Who else has interrupt skills? Help me interrupt its Flame Burst later. Don't worry about the Fireball," Chu Tian said confidently.
"Only Jian Zhi Cang Tian got a Punch skill book!" Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni said.
"Boss, can you hold on?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian asked in the party while running his corpse.
"Don't worry, boss is much steadier than you!" Heng Dao said.
"Boss is a Druid. After transforming, his health is about the same as mine, how can he be steadier than me? Haven't you healed a Druid tank before?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian expressed disbelief.
