Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 429 Don't Make Bold Promises
"If you are truly not afraid of death... then drag it to its death."

Unexpectedly, Fengliqi gave a very simple answer.

The soup dumpling scratched its head: "Drag it to death?"

Feng Liqi said, "Most demons lack consciousness, possessing only instinct. A few races can mimic the speech and behavior of other beings through learning, but it's ultimately not their innate wisdom, remaining merely superficial. In other words, even a Demon Lord is just a more powerful fool. As for the means of resurrection... I'm afraid it doesn't exist, otherwise it wouldn't have imitated the Dragon Lord's appearance..."

Despite Feng Liqi's long-winded rambling, Guan Tangbao didn't take it to heart at all. She only caught the last few sentences precisely, and immediately typed in the team chat: "Raid leader! Raid leader! The NPC said that the BOSS has no way to revive!"

"Alright, let's see who has the best skills!"

Nietzsche breathed a sigh of relief, then forced himself to stay alert. He selected the surviving player teams and commanded, "Same old rules! Team one tank will disrupt the BOSS, teams three and four will deal ranged damage, and team two will protect as needed! Don't be greedy! Since the BOSS isn't resurrecting, we'll just slowly whittle it down!"

The more she talked, the more she rediscovered the passion she had when playing games, and then she shouted the command: "Come on, three—two—one—T open!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several players shot forward like arrows, followed closely by the others.

Although the fire on the ground had shrunk considerably, there was still nowhere to land, so everyone was flying around in the air while putting out the fire with all their might.

Thunder talismans, magical artifacts, and all sorts of worthless low-level equipment and weapons were thrown at them with a clattering sound.

All the players were experienced raiders, and they spontaneously tested the BOSS's attack range. After another player got too close and was swallowed up, they finally figured out a relatively safe distance—about seven or eight zhang away from the BOSS, which is about twenty meters in Earth's units.

It was really difficult to throw talismans at this distance, so everyone took out the lightning rifles that had been distributed earlier and started firing back and forth around the BOSS.

As Feng Liqi said, the BOSS is indeed very stupid.

Every time the tanks got even slightly too close, the boss would pounce and give chase. Normally, the players shouldn't be able to outrun a demon lord, but its most agile part—its physical body—had long been destroyed. Now, it used a caterpillar-like form made of bones and rubble, large in size but incredibly slow. As a result, once the players mastered the rhythm, they became increasingly adept at kiting the boss, and the other players even had the leisure to chat in the team chat while fighting.

"Looking at it this way, this boss isn't actually that difficult! It's not as painful as clearing the Thunder dungeon before!"

"That's not entirely true. It's mainly because we're at a higher level now."

"I think the key is that we bombarded it twice with rocket launchers beforehand, which made it easier to fight. If we had left it like it was at the beginning, we would have had no chance of winning!"

"Que Shi, you've weakened several times already, and it's still a one-hit kill mechanism!"

"These developers are inhuman! This monster is so difficult! I can't even imagine how we would fight if we hadn't developed the rocket launcher!"

"Hey! You're oversimplifying things, aren't you? I bet those rocket launchers are backed by the government! Otherwise, why would an ordinary player build one of those things!"

"Actually, it shouldn't be too difficult? I heard that a big shot in our community is also researching TNT, and it seems like he's already made progress! If this is really developed, our community will be able to take advantage of the situation and stockpile it long-term!"

"TNT and rocket launchers are not even in the same difficulty level! Besides, the rocket launchers in the game are not the kind on Earth, but special weapons that use spiritual power and convert spiritual power into energy. They are completely different from traditional gunpowder weapons!"

"Right! I remember that rocket launchers in our game aren't ignited, but activated by inputting spiritual energy?" "So! It must be an insider! Or maybe the official team is deliberately pretending to be players and creating this to make us buy it with in-game currency, just to fleece us again and recoup the inflated virtual currency!"

"It makes sense!"

"It's just a shill, really!"

"Damn it, I want to be a shill too!"

……

The players chatted casually, and after grinding down the BOSS for more than an hour, they finally defeated it.

Of course, during this period, the remaining rocket launchers and the rocket launchers bought by other members who came after being resurrected were also used up. To be honest, the shop that sells weapons in Rongyu City is really something else. They set up a purchase limit and even justified it by saying that it was to prevent any powerful force from buying them all and then monopolizing them and reselling them at high prices.

Even so, apart from Nietzsche's pioneering group, other pioneering groups also heard the news and rushed to buy rocket launchers and thunderbolt rifles. As a result, some pioneering groups that learned about the news later did not have time to buy them before they were sold out.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness we found out early, now we can't buy them even if we wanted to!"

After using his last rocket launcher, Renxin Huadao watched helplessly as the BOSS's health bar dwindled to almost nothing, collapsing to the ground in frustration. He breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly declared, "This time, we're definitely in the top five! Even though we lost the first clear, second and third place are no problem!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than three clearance announcements popped up on the public chat channel, accompanied by a message box indicating that the level had been cleared.

Unfortunately, Nietzsche's pioneering team ranked fourth.

"No, why?!"

The human heart, which had been transformed into the Dao, was on the verge of collapse, and it cried out in despair.

Then, three announcement notifications sounded one after another—

[Congratulations to players [Want a Big Warehouse], [Chai Gou Cai Cai], [Eat Farts], [Can't Live Anymore], [Jia Xiao Ren]... a total of thirty players who teamed up to be the first to clear the dungeon [Endless Ruins]! A truly commendable victory! Quest rewards are being distributed; please keep up the good work, other players!]

Congratulations to players [Pig Charge], [Wang Ergou], [Han Tiaotiao], [Jade Emperor], [Jieran]... a total of thirty players who teamed up to be the first to clear the dungeon [Endless Ruins]! A truly commendable victory! Rewards are being distributed; please keep up the good work, other players!

[Congratulations to players [Nietzsche], [Human Heart Transformation], [Sea Turtle Qi Pure], [Soup Dumpling], [Emperor Bamboo Grass]... a team of thirty players who were the first to clear the dungeon [Endless Ruins]! A truly commendable victory! Rewards are being distributed; please keep up the good work, other players!]

After hearing the announcement, Renxin Huadao was even more distraught: "Ahhh! No, I can accept that Brother Gou and Second Senior Sister beat us to it, but where did this 'want a large warehouse' thing come from?! I've never heard of it before!?"

In the team chat, after hearing the scream of "Humanity Transformation Breaks Through Defense," Guantangbao, who wasn't particularly obsessed with the top five, typed a sarcastic comment: "This proves that, Huadao, you can't just make empty promises!"

There will be another chapter later!!! I promised I'd add an extra chapter and I won't skip it!!! Watch me race against time!!! Pew!!!
