Chapter 580: 580

Chapter 580 - Poison Valley

“When Bladelight and the others left, they took some Antidotes with them,” Guo Huai recalled .

“How many Master Antidotes did they bring with them?” Nie Yan asked . Ordinary Antidotes wouldn’t work . Only Master Antidotes were effective .

“Two, I think . ”

Ever since receiving the Wish Necklace, Quiet Nannan had been concocting Master-rank potions, many of which were Master Antidotes . Although there were still many in storage when Bladelight left, he couldn’t bear to bring more than two . These items were far too precious . No one would use them lightly . Besides, in what kind of scenario would they need more?

“Two Master Antidotes is far from enough . ” Nie Yan shook his head . He had witnessed the might of the Miasma Scorpion King first hand in his past life . Back then, he was following a 1,000-player expedition team . They wiped, with only a lucky few escaping with their lives .

The expedition team comprised 100 players over Level 100 and 900 players at Level 90 or higher . There were no Master-class players . The strongest player was a Level 130 Great Berserker . They had come with a large amount of scrolls and potions . Their preparations were flawless . If even a team like that wiped, Bladelight’s group was in a lot of danger .

To defeat the Miasma Scorpion King, Bladelight and the others had to all be at least Level 100!

“How many Master Antidotes do we have left?” Nie Yan asked .

“I think around nine . ”

Nine was still far from enough! Nie Yan knitted his brows . “Bring them all over . Have them ready at the transfer point!”

“Alright,” Guo Huai replied . After retrieving the Antidotes from the Starry Night Potion Shop, he had his people deliver them to the transfer point .

Nie Yan was already waiting there . After putting away the Master Antidotes in his bag, he teleported to Tellak Town, then set off on his Darkwing Dragon .

To get to Poison Valley, most players would have to teleport to Link Town and spend an hour travelling through the wilderness . Nie Yan was taking a shortcut . North of Tellak Town was a vast mountain range . It would take ordinary players at least several days to get from here to Poison Valley . However, the rugged mountainous terrain was of no obstacle to him since he was travelling by air!

With the Darkwing Dragon’s speed, Nie Yan would reach his destination in a short few minutes .

. . .

While Nie Yan was rushing over to Poison Valley, Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and the others were facing off against a giant scorpion .

This large scorpion had a shiny black carapace which had the luster of metal . It looked like a giant tank with a pair of monstrous claws and a long tail with a sharp stinger that curved inward .  

It was a Level 110 Lord with 5,000,000 health!

The Miasma Scorpion King was too powerful . Bladelight and the others struggled greatly .

Bladelight and 20 other Fighters surrounded the Miasma Scorpion King . There were already several dozen corpses on the ground . Further back, 600 Mages raised their staffs and bombarded the Miasma Scorpion King with magic . However, every hit only dealt 100-200 damage . Their damage output wasn’t much . If it weren’t for Bladelight’s Level 100 equipment, they would’ve long since wiped .

About five minutes later, the Miasma Scorpion King’s health fell below 25% .

“Quickly, stop it! It’s going to use a skill!” Bladelight shouted . Several Thieves rushed forward and struck the Miasma Scorpion King with various crowd control skills . It was immobilized for three seconds but quickly recovered .

“Watch out!” Bladelight shouted .

“It’s using Poison Mist again!”

“Paladins, purify it! Hurry!”

The Miasma Scorpion King opened its maw and spat out a black poison mist which started rapidly spreading out .

The nearby Warriors quickly retreated . Bladelight hurriedly drank a Master Antidote . Its effects were quite potent . As for Advanced Antidotes, they had first tried those, but they were completely ineffective .

Bladelight continued to engage the Miasma Scorpion King while the other Warriors hurriedly pulled back .

The poison mist shrouded the Miasma Scorpion King, completely obscuring it from sight . More than 10 Warriors and Thieves couldn’t endure the mist’s corrosive effects and collapsed on the ground .

Rays of holy light fell over the mist, gradually purifying it .

Three minutes later, the poison mist finally dispersed . When the players saw the Miasma Scorpion King again, they discovered it was back at full health .

The Miasma Scorpion King's health recovered rapidly within the poison mist!

“Fuck!” Bladelight cursed .

After recovering all its health, the Miasma Scorpion King started carrying out a massacre . It swung and snipped with its claws, killing one Warrior after another . Its tail suddenly struck toward Bladelight .

Bladelight grunted and quickly raised his greatshield . With a loud klang, he blocked the stinger .

Bladelight’s skin immediately turned a shade of green . His health began rapidly falling . Just as he was about to die, Young Seven, Painted Muslin, and the other Priests quickly healed him back to full .

The expedition team’s casualties quickly exceeded 50 . Every time they got the Miasma Scorpion King down to 25% health, it would heal back up with the Poison Mist skill .

“We need better crowd control!” Bladelight said in frustration . If they had someone who could keep the Miasma Scorpion King locked down when it was casting Poison Mist, there wouldn’t be any problems .  

“That’s not the issue . Even if we had more powerful crowd control skills, its resistance and evasion is too high,” King of the World said . It wasn’t like they hadn’t given it a try . Four out of every five crowd control skills were resisted, and that was if they landed at all .

“Let’s just leave,” Smoke Stub suggested . “At this rate, our casualties will only continue to rise . We can’t beat it . ”

“Bladelight, the Scorpions in the back have all respawned . We can’t leave!” a Mage further in the back cried out .

Glancing back at the exit, it was filled with hundreds of Scorpions . If they tried to leave, they’d be pincered .

“It looks like we’re going to wipe,” Bladelight sighed . Even though it wasn’t like they hadn’t wiped before, it was never a pleasant experience .

“Those of you who have Unknown Transfer Scrolls, leave first . ”

Out of the 1,000 players in the expedition team, only 30 had Unknown Transfer Scrolls . They were simply too scarce . It was impossible to meet everyone’s demands .

At this moment, the Miasma Scorpion King broke through the encirclement of Warriors and collided with the second line of defense . It instantly slaughtered more than 30 Paladins . Asskickers United’s forces were slowly being pushed back . A wipe was inevitable .

“Everyone, take off your equipment to lessen your losses as much as possible . It’s best if you find somewhere remote to die . That way when you revive, you can teleport back safely . ”

Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and the others quickly made their preparations . By doing this, they could lessen their losses by at least 50% .

One Paladin after another fell to the Miasma Scorpion King . The splattering blood caused it to enter a berserk state .

. . .

Nie Yan cruised through the sky on his Darkwing Dragon . Up ahead was a vast ocean of clouds, with only a few mountain peaks poking out .

Nie Yan couldn’t seem to find Poison Valley . Searching around, he spotted pitch black clouds in the distance, almost as if they had been dyed in ink . “Over there! I found it!”

He quickly headed over with the Darkwing Dragon, chanting out an incantation at the same time .

Before long, the Darkwing Dragon arrived above the black clouds .

After finishing the chant, the Darkwing Dragon disappeared, recalled back to the pet space . Nie Yan started falling to the ground .

The Darkwing Dragon wouldn’t die instantly if it made contact with the poison mist, but it would still be badly poisoned .

Right before falling into the poison mist, Nie Yan drank a Master Antidote .

Passing through the layer of clouds, Nie Yan saw the situation below . Bladelight’s expedition team surrounded the Miasma Scorpion King . On the ground were corpses scattered everywhere .

“Watchful Snail said Nirvana Flame is on his way here right now!”

“By the time he arrives, we’ll all be dead,” Bladelight deeply sighed .

“Look up in the sky!”

Everyone looked up . A figure was rapidly falling from the sky, soon to reach the ground .

“It’s the boss! He’s here!”

They had already abandoned all thoughts of survival . However, when Nie Yan appeared, their hope was reignited . They had an unwavering faith in him . Perhaps he could reverse the tide!

“That fellow sure is quick . Everyone, listen up! Put your equipment back on . We’re going to give it another try!” Bladelight shouted . He charged toward the Miasma Scorpion King and struck out with a Shield Bash . With a loud klang, it was knocked several steps back .

Painted Muslin, Young Seven, and the others quickly topped up Bladelight’s health .

The entire team changed their formation and started dealing with the Miasma Scorpion King again in earnest . Over 200 corpses lay scattered on the ground . Thankfully, the damage was still there . The front line also still had more than 100 Warriors left . There wouldn’t be any issues for now .

The Mages raised their staffs and bombarded away .

Nie Yan made a rapid descent . Just as he was about to hit the ground, he activated his Featherfall Jewel . With a loud thud, he landed .

−2,133

For the sake of saving time, Nie Yan only activated Featherfall at the very last moment . This kind of fall damage was still well within acceptable limits .

“Arcane Mages and Elementalists, listen up! Use fire magic! Arcane Mages don’t use fire magic with a darkness attribute component!” Nie Yan shouted .

“Yes, boss!” All the Arcane Mages and Elementalists replied in unison . Their shouts towered through the skies .

Nie Yan’s presence had reinvigorated their morale!
