Chapter 55 Bet

As the two of them return to the party, Spectral Fire appears like he is very sad. Those that do not know the truth will think that Bai Song has wronged Spectral Fire.

"Don't mind him. He always likes to exaggerate, after a while, he will be fine." Ghost Island walks over and jokes with Bai Song who nods his head to indicate that he does not mind.

Spectral Fire's gaze seems to bear a grudge as he watches them, making him seems like a mistreated wife. But due to the number of guild members around them, he smoothly restores his emotion back to normal.

After all, Spectral Fire knows that if such things are spread out will not be pleasant to hear. Thus he needs to pay attention to his image.

If Bai Song can hear Spectral Fire thoughts, he will think that it is not worth it, after all, taking note of his image is no use as this thing in the past has already spread to the entire gaming community.

As they have obtained the key, Bai Song ignores Spectral Fire and commands everyone to turn back and collect as much water as possible.

In this dungeon, water is the most important. If they do not have water to rely on, they will have to forcefully push through. If they have to use force, they will need to use levels or equipment to suppress the monster.

After passing through the first few stages, everyone knows the importance of water. Thus without complaining, everyone turns around and go back to the beginning to collect as much water as possible.

"If only we had plastic bags." One of the player moans.

"You ah please think before speaking. With the background of this game, how can there be items such as plastic bags." Another player scolds.

"Meh, why are you so serious. I am only making a joke." That player rolls his eyes and continues to collect water.

Bai Song who is beside them smiled when he heard the entire conversation, but he did not say anything. Actually, in , as long as you have an idea, it can come true.

The main ingredients for plastic are petroleum and natural gas.

For the manufacture methods, the trade professions need to firstly find out the macro-molecule composition of petroleum to natural gas. After which, they have to split up the monomer before combining them into a polymer and form plastic.

[TL: O.O well looks like I still can't run away from all of the polymers and chemistry]

With the hard work of players during the beginning of the late stage, it is no longer impossible. But the conditions are not as complicated as the modern time processes. Other than those bored players who are seeking amusement, no one will intentionally create things like plastic bag.

After paying a huge price to manufacture, the results will be left forgotten in the backpack because a small fireball from any random person will instantly destroy it.

People are such complex beings. When they are in a modern science and technology era, they yearn for the world of sword and magic. But when they are in the world of sword and magic, they will start to miss the world of modern science and technology.

"Alright, since we have packed as much water as possible, lets open the door." Bai Song seeing that everyone has finished collecting water, he resumes his commander role.

Although he is the commander, Bai Song also follows the party to collect water.

The shield bearer opens the wooden door. It is another dark tunnel. This time around, there are no torches along the tunnel. Thus one of the player wants to light up his torch.

But after thinking of Bai Songs earlier warning, he asks: "Commander? Are we allowed to light the torches?"

"Light it." Bai Song nods his head. It looks like this party member is teachable.

After obtaining Bai Song's permission, that player finally lights up a torch.

It is not that the players are stupid, after all, they are a member of a guild's elite party. Their mistakes earlier were all because this is their first time doing this dungeon. In the past, they have given up before clearing the first stage in normal mode.

Another reason is Ghost Dance has particular status in the elite party, and most of them are his friends. Thus they did not trust Bai Song in the beginning. After they saw Ghost Dance following Bai Song's orders to the letter, they stop messing around. Otherwise, Ghost Island will punish them strictly.

In the beginning, Ghost Island wants to observe Bai Song capability, and now he is indeed impressed by Bai Songs capability. After all, he is a guild leader who has to roam around the Jiang Hu for a long time, thus how can he not see what the party members are doing.

The tunnel is not narrow and can accommodate several people walking shoulder to shoulder. At the same time, it is very long. After walking for a long time, the party is finally able to see a faint light from a fire in front of them.

At this time, the front most player is shocked. The rest of the players hurriedly walk out of the tunnel only to see something that looks like a diving platform in front of them.

When compared to a diving platform, it is even wider and longer and could accommodate the entire party. Vines grow all over the surrounding walls, and if a player climbs down the vine, he will be able to see that underneath the platform is a circular battlefield.

In the circular battlefield, there is a person with long hair, wearing a ChangPao. His face is blurry, and his two feet are not touching the ground even though he cannot fly.

There are 4 warriors surrounding him. Each wearing a suit of steel armor covering their entire body. The warriors are holding simple steel swords, and all of the warriors look alike without much difference.

Bai Song looks at the monster in the center. It is indeed the final BOSS of this dungeon. The final BOSS is a doppelgnger of Jing Hua Shi and its name is Ah Ke Si. Being a doppelgnger, it can possess its name proof thatit is rather powerful as a doppelgnger.

"This BOSS is rather difficult to defeat. I cannot guaranty that we will be able to defeat it on our first try." Bai Song knows that simple words of motivation are not enough. He needs to let them know how tough the following fight will be to ensure that they are serious throughout the entire fight.

Seeing that no one speaks up, Bai Song continues to speak: "I will roughly brief the battle strategy. All of the mages stand on top of the platform, the rest of the players will head down. This time round, there is no need to assume any battle formation."

One of the mages ask: "Commander if we do not assume battle formation, what about the healers? Without healers, the shield bearers will not be able to tank!"

At this time, Bai Song says: "The rest of the players task is to settle the 4 warriors. While they are settling the 4 warriors, Number 1 to Number 10 task is to stall the BOSS."

After which, the elite party looks at each other. Finally, their gazes stop at the ten players with number 1 to 10 on their forehead. These ten players are the players that Bai Song have marked before entering the dungeon. All of them are chosen after consulting Ghost Island. Every single one of them has the best techniques in the elite party.

Warriors are number 1 to 5 while archers are number 6-10.

Ghost Dance is number 10. At this time he is unable to bear it any longer and speaks out: "Are you awake? That is the final BOSS, and you want to rely on eleven people to stall him! Are you dreaming?!"

"Yeah." Bai Song faintly replies. "If we are unable to delay for a while, Guild Leader Ghost Island, there is a sentence which is a little unpleasant to hear. I rather not say it."

Although Bai Song did not continue speaking, everyone can guess what the latter half of the sentence is. Instantly the ten appointed players including Ghost Island got mad.

When Ghost Island hears it, he narrowed his eyes but did not say anything.

At this time, the warrior bearing the number 1 on his forehead steps up and say: "Isn't it just stalling for a while? I don't believe that we will not be able to."

The rest of the appointed players also agree when they hear it. There is even a player who says: "Let's have a bet, including Bai Song, whoever dies first needs to take out gold."

Chapter 56 Mistake

The ten players are the most outstanding archers and warriors in Spectral Guild. They can also be acknowledged as experts, and each of them has their pride, even Ghost Dance as well.

"Such a pity. I also wanted to join the bet." Spectral Fire slips over. As the ten players were very agitated, all of them ignored him.

Ghost Island stops Spectral Fire. "Enough, you properly stay with me up on the platform. Your most important job is to make sure of your accuracy."

When Spectral Fire hears the orders from the big boss, he can only take his staff and be a battery(like the towers in dota2). Although Ghost Island is the guild leader, he is also a mage. Thus he can only stand on the platform and toss out spells.

The ten players who have objections in the beginning, within moments become motivated due to a sentence from Bai Song.

Of course, Ghost Island will not get angry from Bai Song's sentence. Instead, he becomes more appreciative of his talents because of it.

Ghost Dance is different from those zero intelligence villains written in the novels. He is also considered talented otherwise how could he almost become the vice-guild leader of the Spectral Guild.

Bai Song's physiological method is not considered as very high level. Although Ghost Dance immediately recognize the physiological method after Bai Song has spoken, he did not try to ruin in. Instead, he prepares fight tactics with tactics.

'Later on, when I lure the BOSS I will attack in his direction. The money is a small matter. If the first to die is the commander, that face slapping will be awesome.' Ghost Dance sneers coldly in his heart. But on the surface, he displays an incited appearance.

But what Ghost Dance does not know is that to Bai Song, being slapped in the face is a minor matter while money is a big matter. After all, he does not have much money currently.

A gold coin is around 2k RMB. Although this amount is not considered small, only large guilds can take out a few tens of hundreds of gold coins. A normal rich person is unable to take out so many gold coins and only those multi-millionaires can.

On the exchange network, there are very few people selling gold coins, even if it is way higher than the actual price, the early stages of the game are the most special period. The early stage capital determines the future structures.

Most of the guild has their own established gold farming parties, and it is very expensive to set up such a party. Only those people who are unable to find a job in real life will join a gold farming party, thus how are they able to afford a gaming cabin? Thus the cost of hundreds and thousands of gaming cabins and the wages are all to prepare their early stage capital only.

Countless players mock and look down on the members of a gold farming party, thinking that they are being played by the game. But the truth is the game is never played around with any person, the only thing that can play with a person is their livelihood.

There is no need to lure the monster as Jing Hua Shi's doppelganger Ah Ke Shi has already notice the crowd of players climbing down the vine. When Bai Song sees the crowd not moving, he pats his head. 'Nearly forgotten that I am the commander.'

"Mages attack the small ones first. Warriors block those small monsters from running around. Clerics unless the warriors are about to die, do not heal them. Do not establish aggro on them and reduce your existence."

Bai Song's Sneak skill is superb. But being the final BOSS, Ah Ke Shi can see through such superb sneaking. As Bai Song continues to sneak forward cautiously, as this time, Ah Ke Shi sweeps over with a pike.

As Bai Song is wary, he has already guarded against it. This overbearing attack did not land on Bai Song's body, but the wind from the attack landed on Bai Song's body and took away from his health along with it.

'Only the wind from the pike can damage me slightly. If that attack lands on me, I will be instantly killed. It looks like an extreme thief is too paper.' Bai Song shakes his head inwardly.

But what Bai Song did not think much, if he is a balance thief, with his agility as a balance thief whether if he can dodge that attack is another story. Even if his health is higher, if he got hit, he will most likely die.

Luckily Bai Song is not the only person. The five archers also attack and instantly attracts the attention of Ah Ke Shi. Although the rest of the warriors did not attack, they use their Taunt skill. Taunt skills are unable to aggro the BOSS. Thus the taunt actions become pointless actions.

Ah, Ke Shi who wields a pike, his eyes start to release red lights. This represents that he is angry.

A shield-bearer is quickly picked up by Ah Ke Shi with the pike. At this time, the crowd quickly take advantage of the time and attacks. Ah, Ke Shi angrily tosses the shield bearer outside. As the shield bearer had high health, he did not die after being smashed onto the ground.

In the sense of way, he did not need to pay up a gold coin from the bet. Bai Song starts to sweat as he watches. If he receives that horrifying attack before he smashes on to the ground, he would have died.

After drinking a potion, the shield bearer energetically returns to the battlefield after his health is back to full. Seeing that the shield bearer is fine, Bai Song is suspecting if he is purely adding constitution only.

But this is also a good thing. As least until now there is no reduction in numbers.

Seeing the shield bearer being tossed out, Ghost Dance is slightly worried. But it is not because he is worried for his guild members, but because he is worried that he is not able to let Bai Song be the first to die and loss his face.

If Bai Song loses his face, Spectral Fire will also lose his face. After all, Bai Song is a person that Spectral Fire brought in. He does not have any hatred with Bai Song, and there is no need to make life difficult for Bai Song after he has seen the talents that Bai Song had displayed.

After all, he is not those mindless villains that randomly anger people as written in novels. The most important reason is his grievance with Spectral Fire.

Bai Song has already pulled a long face earlier. If they can overcome this BOSS, although he will receive some rewards, at the same time, Spectral Fire position in his guild will improve.

At this time, Bai Song executes a movement to completely evade the BOSS attack. Just at the same time, Ghost Dance makes a 'mistake' and walks into Bai Song retreating path. Bai Song who was retreating properly suddenly feel a gust of wind behind him.

Through his peripheral vision, Bai Song sees that Ghost Dance makes a very real 'mistake. At least from the surface, Bai Song cant find any problem, but he immediately guesses that Ghost Dance is trying to harm him.

On the high platform, Ghost Island frowns as he watches the situation. Although Ghost Dance 'mistake' seems to be caused by him trying to dodge the BOSS long-range attack in a rush, the path he is running to is just nicely along Bai Songs dodging pathway.

Although Ghost Dance pathing 'mistake' can work on the others Ghost Island can see through it with a glance that he is trying to secretly harm Bai Song.

As Bai Song retreats, he takes out a cloak from his backpack and wears it. This action is very fast; the entire action does not take more than a second.

Chapter 57 [Clearing the Dungeon]

Ghost Dance does not care why Bai Song still takes the time to change his equipment when he is already unable to retreat. But all of this is not important. As long as Bai Song is the first to die, then it will be enough.

Bai Song smiles in humor and activates the Spectral Cloak skill, Strong Concealment. He is no longer concerned about revealing his Strong Concealment as he does not want to hold in his anger when others are trying to harm him in secret.

After all, it is nothing but a piece of trash equipment that relies on the special skill to be a Dark Gold equipment. As long as he does not reveal Artifacts or Ghost grade equipment, the equipment will not be in the line of sight of the leviathans.

The next moment, Bai Song disappears right in front of Ghost Dance. In Ghost Dance eyes, he can only see the BOSS infuriated red eyes. Ghost Dance who had planned meticulously is unable to dodge the attack.

Jump backward.

At crucial moment, Ghost Dance does a backward jump. Although this action is unable to completely evade the BOSS pike, it is enough to avoid death. It can be seen that Ghost Dance will not die even if he is struck by the attack. But at that instant, a blaze appears on the head of Ah Ke Shi's pike.

Bang!

Ghost Dance was forcefully smashed onto the ground and instantly turn into a white light. Thus Ghost Dance becomes the first person who died.

Bai Song sneers in his heart. If you want to plot against me, you need to be prepared to suffer losses. One Ghost Dance lesser does not affect the plans for the BOSS.

After Ghost Dance died, another two people died as well. It becomes obvious that they will not be able to hold the BOSS back any longer. At this time, Spectral Fire shouted from the platform: "We have killed the four-guard monstesr. Everyone quickly engages the BOSS."

Spectral Fire being the Vice-guild leader while Ghost Island does give commands, the crowd will follow his orders. As Bai Song is already very busy with the battle, being the vice-guild leader, Spectral Fire takes over the command while the commander is too busy.

A few stupidly heavy shield bearers step up, and within moments, they have resolved the disadvantages situation. After clearing the guard monsters, the clerics no longer have to worry about aggro anymore. They immediately heal the shield bearers properly.

Being the strongest existence in the dungeon, there is no need to doubt Ah Ke Shi abilities. Although he does not have a lot of AOE skills, those few AOE skills are much more ruthless.

Ah, Ke Shi stands on the spot and starts to chant. As he chants, an iron chain appears on his body. Bai Song immediately shouted: "Shield bearers position yourselves properly and surround him. Clerics make sure that you are standing behind a shield bearer!"

Group pulling: Ah Ke Shi uses a second to chant and can shots up to 6 iron chain from his body. The chain will bind the target and pull the target towards him.

The shield bearers hurriedly surround the BOSS properly, but there is a small gap which allows a chain to go through and binds an archer. After the targets are pulled to him, with a sweep, Ah Ke Shi instantly kills the archer. The 5 shield bearers who were prepared did not have much trouble resisting the attack.

After using this skill, Ah Ke Shi does not seem to finish. He immediately activates Sudden Dash. Ah, Ke Shi's body turns into a light ray that continuously dashes around. Ah, Ke Shi dashes into 4 archers and instantly kills them.

Seeing the situation, Bai Song know that the situation is far from good. At this time, the BOSS health has already dropped to around half. Ah, Ke Shi raises his pike which starts to blaze. Ah Ke Shi sweeps his pike in front of him, and the blaze rushes towards the crowd like a wave.

At this time, there is no longer any use of a commander. Bai Song holds the Earthworm Dagger tightly and rushes forward. Seeing Bai Song rushing towards him, Ah Ke Shi sweeps with his pike again. With a jump, Bai Song jumps over the fire wave. Despite that, Bai Song's health drops slightly from the heat.

"This attack radius is as perverted as usual." Bai Song swallows his saliva and uses Flying Assault to draw close to Ah Ke Shi.

In the past, Bai Song only uses Flying Assault as a burst attack. But this skill is originally a skill that is used to dash forwards. Bai Song successfully dashes in front of Ah Ke Shi.

Instead of continuing and attack, Bai Song dodges in advance and dodged Ah Ke Shi's thrust. Although Bai Song has dodged the thrust, his health still drops. Ah, Ke Shi is already thoroughly raging. Not just his attacks, even his entire body is covered with blaze. As long as a player is standing close to him, that player's health will continuously drop.

Seeing that he is unable to kill Bai Song with the two attacks, Ah Ke Shi decided to ignore Bai Song. But Bai Song is like a bedbug, annoying Ah Ke Shi. As he moves behind Ah Ke Shi, he uses Random Slashes. Not only is Bai Song like a bedbug, but he also summons a bedbug that is even more annoying than him. This bedbug also crawls up his body.

But this does not have any effect as Ah Ke Shi entire body is covered in flame. When those small earthworms crawl up his body, they were burned to death instantly. But the small earthworms have no fear of death and continues to 'vengefully' throw themselves onto Ah Ke Shi.

Ah Ke Shi is unable to stand it anymore. If he ignores Bai Song and allows him to freely attack him, Bai Song damage is quite significant. Ah, Ke Shi angrily attacks Bai Song wanting to kill him. But Bai Song is a pure agility thief with tons of experience from the past. With his understanding of the BOSS, Bai Song can stubbornly hold back the BOSS for close to seven-eight rounds of attack.

Within this seven eight rounds, the rest of the members are very busy. There are even a few that take damage increasing potions and completely release all of their firepower.

Ah Ke Shi who have achieved his rage form had a large increase in attack and attack radius. But this comes at a cost of a large reduction in his defense.

During the duration, while he is tangled with Bai Song, Ah Ke Shi's health has dropped until he is left with 10%. Ah, Ke Shi immediately ignores Bai Song and jumps to the center of the battleground.

The raging inferno is still burning, except it is burning even more furiously. All attacks that land on it will be reduced by 90%.

This is the BOSS final skill. If they are unable to kill him within this period, everyone will receive an explosive damage, and the party will be instantly wipeout.

"Everyone stop attacking and toss the water you have collected onto the BOSS. All the mages directly jump off the platform. You will not die from the fall damage." Bai Song quickly gives out a chain of commands.

After which, all of the mages jump off the platform. One of the mage with very little health left also jumps down when he heard that you will not die from fall damage. The result is he instantly dies. This causes Bai Song to be speechless.

Sizzle, sizzle.

The water was splashed onto the BOSS like no tomorrow. Very quickly the fire on Ah Ke Shi's body was put out. After the BOSS final skill was broken, he does not have any strength to lift his pike and retaliate.

Under a relentless hail of attacks, the BOSS finally collapse.

"The BOSS died just like that?" Spectral Fire asks. In this entire battle, all he has done is throwing down skills from the platform and then jump down to splash water on the BOSS. With just these actions, the BOSS got defeated

Bai Song rolls his eyes at Spectral Fire. "While you are relaxed, I'm about to tire myself to death."

Spectral Fire scratches his head and laughs shamelessly. After which he uses the ultimate Tai-Chi technique to divert attention. "Right the BOSS has died. Quickly loot the corpse. Forget it. Let my red hand loot the corpse."

Spectral Fire turns around and walks towards the BOSS corpse. The first item immediately causes Bai Song's eyes to light up.

Chapter 57 [Clearing the Dungeon]

Chapter 58 Hellfire Staff

Spectral Fire found 4 items. A medal, a shoe, a blueprint and a large shield.

When Bai Song sees them, he instantly becomes happy.
