Chapter 143 This fire truck has come to life!
Ten minutes later, pillars of light shot into the sky from all four directions of the island: east, west, south, and north.
Nothing unexpected happened in the middle, but the Xuanjia clan members who came out were all clutching their stomachs, which was a bit strange.
"Friends—hiccup—thank you for your help—" Leo said, hiccuping as he spoke, his breath reeking of Leo's pungent aroma, which the players could smell from a great distance.
"How much did they drink?" Zhenyu gasped.
These NPCs are really going all out to complete a quest, aren't they afraid of bursting their bellies?
Her gaze swept over Leo's stomach discreetly; although he was covering it, Zhenyu still noticed something amiss.
It's been at least five months.
"You're welcome. I wonder what to do next?" Zhenyu asked.
Zhenyu does have tools to aid digestion, but since Leo is being secretive, she shouldn't say anything more.
"This happened so suddenly that we didn't have much time to prepare," Leo sighed.
"Lord Suzaku should be coming out soon, right?"
I heard from the seniors that in the past, the trials were all conducted before the earth fire erupted.
While adapting to the increasingly high temperatures, they also set up positions and arranged formations.
Whether it's building fortifications or deploying cooling devices in advance, there's still plenty of time to overcome each obstacle.
Unlike this time, we weren't prepared at all, and we were immediately faced with the second-to-last challenge.
Just now, inside the formation, Leo heard a rumbling noise outside and thought it was going to fail; his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Fortunately, the adventurers are quite amazing!
"It's great that the BOSS has appeared!" Zhenyu and Leo were not on the same wavelength.
She's not good at deciphering things; she usually just reads guides. She only came to raid dungeons to get some limited-time rewards.
"Is it really okay?" Leo asked, looking at the island with a worried expression.
As the beams of light from the four array eyes shot into the sky, the originally restless earth fire was forcibly suppressed for a moment.
Then came an even more violent outburst.
Boom!
On the volcanic platform at the center of the island, crimson lava shoots straight into the sky.
The heat wave swept out as if it were a tangible force.
It's an AOE attack! Suzaku has launched an ultra-long-range AOE attack!
Players' health bars plummeted, and quick-reacting healers immediately began casting group heals.
The remaining ice fragments on Leo's body instantly vaporized, hissing as they emitted white smoke.
puff!
He couldn't hold back any longer and vomited a mouthful of yo-yo from his stomach: "This is—the majesty of Lord Suzaku—"
Amidst a rain of fire, a giant bird slowly ascends into the sky.
[The Evil Thoughts of Suzaku, High-Magic Body/Form and Mind God, Iv. 69.]
[Area Environment: High-temperature burning effect, deducting 3% of maximum health per second, and reducing healing effectiveness by 30%.]
"Gulgar's relatives are here!" The players' spirits lifted upon seeing the text above the monster's head, but their expressions quickly fell: "That damned Sunfire Chessboard is still chasing me!"
The Vermilion Bird BOSS is not as high-level as the Storm Dragon, but there are fewer of them this time, and they don't even have any high-level friendly NPCs to help them.
That's fine, after all, we now have super-limit skills, and our equipment has been greatly upgraded. With full customization, we can definitely put up a fight.
But what do these burning and reduced healing effects mean? Are they just a site effect?!
They use the classic warrior-mage-priest trinity when fighting monsters, and outside of combat, the healer can barely keep them alive.
But after the battle started, Lan clearly couldn't recover, so wasn't he useless?
"How do we fight this thing?" Zhenyu and several guild leaders began discussing countermeasures in the team chat.
"It flew a bit too high, so even a pedicure wouldn't be possible," Qi Ling added.
Zhenyu looked up at the health bar that occupied half the screen and felt a sense of powerlessness.
Even if the Xuanjia Clan might have prepared some kind of killing mechanism, this Vermilion Bird is just too outrageous.
Never mind, I'll just give it a try.
This looks like a punitive expedition; we should be able to revive within the map!
Poisonous words: "Shall we meet at the entrance first?"
The others didn't have any good ideas either, so they had no choice but to endure the injuries and climb the mountain together.
Once outside the formation, the Vermilion Bird in the sky immediately spotted the four "little turtles" and a group of "insects".
It opened its mouth furiously, and white flames gathered within.
"It's over—" Leo closed his eyes in despair.
This move was once Lord Suzaku's signature move, incredibly powerful, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth with a single spray, even melting rocks.
He never expected to get hit like this before he even got onto the platform.
This time, the earth fire's malevolent energy was too strong, and the Holy Spirit Array couldn't suppress it at all. Leo felt that he might not even be able to withstand the first wave of attacks.
Players were also holding onto their damage reduction skills, nervously watching the Vermilion Bird in the sky.
The flames grew brighter and brighter, and it looked like they were about to be ejected.
At this critical moment.
A deep, resonant sound suddenly echoed across the island, followed by a series of sounds of different timbres from all directions, as if in response.
It's the sound of whales!
And there's more than one!
Leo suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the sea.
More than a dozen bluish-gray islands suddenly emerged from the sea.
Is it Blue Whale Logistics?
How can there be so many?
Players who are more familiar with the Blue Whale will notice a sudden change in its art style upon closer inspection.
They removed the cargo boxes from their backs and replaced them with huge water tanks covered with divine script, as well as thick cannon barrels.
On the back of the largest blue whale, a familiar food truck still had an illegible banner hanging on it.
From the large loudspeaker on the vehicle roof, Fang Qi's calm command came through: "All firefighters, take your positions! Target directly ahead: large fire-attribute flying chicken!"
"Group one to four whales, group two whales, groups five to eight whales, crossfire."
"One group, 45 degrees elevation angle, ready—"
'
Upon hearing this, the blue whales in the four cardinal directions simultaneously turned their cannons around, opened their mouths wide, and began to suck in water in a whirlwind.
With a whoosh, four enormous whirlpools appeared out of nowhere on the sea.
"Sizzle!!" Fang Qi waved the horn.
Before the words were even finished, all four blue whales exerted their strength simultaneously.
They would fill their lungs with seawater and then eject it through a pressurization device on their backs.
puff-
The sound of the water spraying could be heard from a great distance.
Four high-pressure water jets, each two meters in diameter, whistled as they traversed hundreds of meters, precisely striking the evil thoughts of the Vermilion Bird in the sky.
The collision of water and fire instantly exploded into a sky full of white mist.
Om aimed at Suzaku's wide-open mouth and hit it with the most accuracy.
Before Zhuque could even exhale the breath he had been preparing for, a high-pressure water jet precisely poured into his mouth.
Gurgle.
The Vermilion Bird's evil thoughts were knocked off balance, causing it to stagger and instinctively swallow the salt water, leaving it somewhat bewildered.
What was originally a majestic cry turned into an extremely comical "Gah?"
The players instantly went wild.
"The spellcasting was interrupted!"
"That's not a whale, it's a fire truck that's come to life!"
Seeing that the tactic was effective, Fang Qi pressed on: "Second team, aim at the surrounding floor, elevation angle 40 degrees, prepare to fire!"
The remaining four blue whales had already filled up with water during the gaps and were just waiting for their leader's command.
At this moment, he mustered all his strength and began spraying the most intense part of the fire.
"One relay team!" Fang Qi calmly directed, beginning the firefighting efforts.
