Chapter 640: Protecting the BOSS Legion
September 25, 2017
It was evident that Lu Hai-kong's memories had been sealed away once again.
At this moment, Lu Hai-kong vaguely recalled meeting Zhang Jiao once, but he couldn't remember what they had discussed or what had transpired between them. He was utterly confused about the situation.
However, from the current circumstances, it was clear that Zhang Jiao's resistance had failed, though Lu Hai-kong was unaware of this. He had even forgotten that Zhang Jiao had rebelled against the system.
Lu Hai-kong was perplexed, but one thing he was certain about was that he had entered the dungeon to capture Zhang Jiao.
He was well aware that he had fallen under Zhang Jiao's spell, and perhaps by defeating Zhang Jiao, everything would become clear. Regardless of Zhang Jiao's status, Lu Hai-kong always considered him an adversary.
Therefore, Lu Hai-kong quickly regained his composure and prepared to assist Lu Bu and the others in capturing Zhang Jiao.
Meanwhile, in the mysterious hall, the battle between Zhang Jiao and Lu Bu's group continued.
In reality, Zhang Jiao had been sitting cross-legged in the center of the mysterious hall from the very beginning without ever standing up. By his side were thousands of Yellow Turban Warriors and numerous Yellow Turban Generals.
Lu Hai-kong's gaze intensified, and the data of the Yellow Turban Warriors and Generals immediately appeared before his eyes.
Yellow Turban Warriors:
Identity: Dungeon Boss Guardian Soldiers
Strength: 80
Unit Trait: Undead
PS: As long as Zhang Jiao is alive, they will not be truly slain.
Yellow Turban Generals:
Identity: Dungeon Boss Guardian Generals
Strength: 95
General Trait: Undead
PS: As long as Zhang Jiao is alive, they will not be truly slain.
It was an impressive team, with hundreds of Yellow Turban Warriors possessing strength above 80 and eight Yellow Turban Generals with strength 95. This was the most luxurious lineup Lu Hai-kong had ever encountered, and it was likely only existed in a dungeon of this caliber.
However, when Lu Hai-kong saw this formation, he felt something was amonthly or even longer-term subscription plans that provide discounts, while others may have one-time fees for access to specific content.
Despite Lu Bu and his companions' formidable strength, with each of them boasting a strength above 90, along with their equipment advantages and general traits, even Hua Xiong and Xu Chu, who had slightly weaker strength, would not be significantly outmatched by the Yellow Turban Generals.
After all, the Yellow Turban Generals were akin to mass-produced units, and their talent points were primarily allocated to vitality. As a result, their combat power wouldn't be exceptionally high, and even with a strength of 95, their combat power would likely be around 90 or even lower.
However, these units were undead and could continuously engage the enemy.
Despite the overwhelming strength of Lu Bu and his companions, the combination of eight Yellow Turban Generals with a strength of 95 and eight hundred Yellow Turban Warriors with a strength of 80 created a challenging situation. Even with their formidable strength, Lu Bu and his group of six might struggle to break through to Zhang Jiao's side for a while, and they might even feel slightly overwhelmed.
What puzzled Lu Hai-kong even more was that Zhang Jiao, the primary antagonist of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, remained seated in the center of the mysterious hall without moving, showing no intention of assisting his followers.
This situation warranted further investigation. Zhang Jiao's abilities were incredibly formidable, and he was undoubtedly a triple-digit existence. According to his abilities, he should have easily turned the tide of the battle if he had joined the fight. However, Zhang Jiao remained uninvolved, maintaining his cross-legged, cold-gazing posture.
If it weren't for Zhang Jiao's shifting gaze, Lu Hai-kong might have thought he had died at that moment.
"Could it be that summoning this team has exhausted Zhang Jiao, leaving him unable to take any action?"
Lu Hai-kong couldn't find a satisfactory explanation, so he settled for this seemingly most plausible one.
Regardless of whether this explanation was correct, Lu Hai-kong had to take action. Despite his confusion and unanswered questions, he knew that defeating Zhang Jiao was the right thing to do, regardless of what he had forgotten. It was in Lu Hai-kong's best interest, and it was the only thing he could do at the moment.
After stretching his muscles, Lu Hai-kong brandished his Savage Axe and joined the battle!
Up until Lu Hai-kong's arrival, Lu Bu and his companions had been at a slight disadvantage in their fight against the Yellow Turban Legion. Despite their formidable combat power, the sheer number of enemies was overwhelming, and the six of them were struggling to hold their ground. Lu Hai-kong's entry into the battle significantly impacted the situation.
As soon as Lu Hai-kong entered the fray, he activated 'Unmatched Tyrant,' which had a profound effect on the battle.
It was then that Lu Hai-kong realized the true extent of his general trait's power. 'Unmatched Tyrant' could comprehensively enhance the strength of all generals in his camp, meaning that when Lu Hai-kong activated his strength, the strength of Lu Bu and the others would simultaneously increase by three points. This effect might not be noticeable on ordinary soldiers, but on this group of elite generals, it was transformative.
Lu Bu and Dian Wei's Strength attribute skyrocketed to a staggering 99, while Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Sun Jian reached an impressive 97. Hua Xiong and Xu Chu's strength also rose to 93 and 95, respectively.
It's worth noting that every single point increase in Strength after reaching 90 significantly boosts combat power. Lu Bu's group, who had been on the receiving end of beatings, suddenly turned the tables and effortlessly overwhelmed the Yellow Turban Generals and Warriors. They charged towards Zhang Jiao with unstoppable momentum.
The situation was delicate, but with Lu Hai-kong's unique Martial Trait, they effortlessly crushed their opponents. Unlike other Strength-boosting Martial Traits, Lu Hai-kong's ability was unparalleled, as it could enhance the strength of any ally, not just those directly under his command.
However, this powerful Martial Trait came at a significant cost. Lu Hai-kong, who had trained to activate the Unmatched Tyrant state for over half an hour, could now barely maintain it for two minutes.
There was no choice; after all, the group he had boosted included historical warriors with Strength over 90. If Lu Hai-kong could sustain this state for half an hour or more under these circumstances, it would truly be a miracle.
Fortunately, the Unmatched Tyrant state could be trained and improved. While he could only maintain it for less than two minutes now, with practice and mastery, he might be able to extend it to half an hour or even an hour in the future. But that was a concern for later; for now, Lu Hai-kong's situation was becoming dire.
In the 1619 book bar, there was no mistake in this version!
The awkward two minutes had put Lu Hai-kong in an even more embarrassing situation.
Although they had successfully infiltrated the Yellow Turban Warriors' camp, they had only made it halfway when the effects of the Unmatched Tyrant state abruptly vanished. This meant Lu Hai-kong and his group were now surrounded by the Yellow Turban Warriors.
The situation became critical. The enemy's strength was formidable, and although Lu Hai-kong's group of eight could overpower them in terms of Strength, their opponents had the advantage of being undying!
Surrounded by nearly a thousand undying warriors with a Strength of at least 80, Lu Hai-kong's group was at a significant disadvantage. No matter how strong they were, killing their enemies would not keep them down, while they only had one life to lose. Although they were not in immediate danger, their situation could become dire after an hour or two.
Caught in this predicament, Lu Bu and his companions were at a loss. Lu Hai-kong's Martial Trait had given them a surge of confidence with its boost in Strength, but now they found themselves in a dire situation.
"What should we do now?" Lu Bu and the others asked anxiously, surprisingly without blaming Lu Hai-kong for his lack of endurance.
"What? It's simple!" Lu Hai-kong replied with a smile, "Dian Wei!"
At Lu Hai-kong's call, Dian Wei sprang into action. With his iron trident resting on his chest, Lu Hai-kong leaped onto the trident, crouched slightly, and then jumped off. As Dian Wei's powerful arms swung the trident upwards, Lu Hai-kong leaped into the air.
Dian Wei's mighty throw, combined with Lu Hai-kong's jumping ability, propelled him dozens of meters forward, almost out of the encirclement. Although he hadn't completely escaped, he was only a few steps away from freedom.
As Lu Hai-kong landed, several Yellow Turban Warriors rushed towards him. However, without the presence of the Yellow Turban Generals, they were no match for Lu Hai-kong, who easily dispatched them with a few swings of his axe. Lu Hai-kong then charged towards Zhang Jiao, who was not far ahead.
The closer Lu Hai-kong got to Zhang Jiao, the more he sensed something amiss. Zhang Jiao was uncharacteristically calm, devoid of the tension one would expect when facing a formidable enemy.
If this had been the only oddity, Lu Hai-kong might have attributed it to Zhang Jiao's confidence in defeating him. However, the situation was more complex.
As Lu Hai-kong drew nearer, he realized that Zhang Jiao seemed to have an issue. Despite a hint of liveliness in his eyes, Zhang Jiao appeared dazed, leaving Lu Hai-kong unsure if he was imagining things.
Just as Lu Hai-kong was about to investigate further, he found himself within a fifty-meter radius of Zhang Jiao.
As Lu Hai-kong stepped into this zone, Zhang Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up. Simultaneously, the ground beneath Lu Hai-kong stirred, and a yellowish earth spike shot towards him.
Reacting swiftly, Lu Hai-kong dodged the spike. However, the spike didn't stop after missing him; instead, it flew into the air like an arrow, aiming directly at Lu Hai-kong.
This two-stage attack was quite unexpected, and an ordinary warrior might have been taken down by it. But Lu Hai-kong was not so easily defeated; he swung his axe and deflected the spike.
Just as Lu Hai-kong struck down the spike, dozens of earth spikes within a fifty-meter radius of Zhang Jiao shot up, forming a dense barrage that flew towards Lu Hai-kong like a swarm of arrows...
