Chapter 358 I want to get close to the Wandering God!
Chen You sheathed the Jade Emperor Sword and looked at the items scattered all over the ground.
A pile of equipment emitting purple and blue light, and a few shiny objects.
"Come here, pick up your things."
Chen You's voice broke the silence.
Thirty-nine people charged at us like mad dogs.
"Purple gear! It's purple gear!"
"Holy crap! A skill book! For Berserkers!"
"Don't grab it! Roll by class! The God of War said so!" the Berserker roared, clutching the skill book tightly.
Chen You stood aside, watching the group of players fighting tooth and nail over a few low-level pieces of equipment, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He wouldn't even pick up this junk because it takes up too much space in his backpack.
"Alright, let's keep going after we finish rolling," Chen You urged. "I'm in a hurry."
The "Sealed Lava Heart" he bought is still lying in his backpack. He has no idea how to activate it until he clears the dungeon.
The team continued its advance.
The journey that followed was nothing short of a magical sightseeing trip for these thirty-nine players.
Second boss, the Flame Demon Commander.
Mechanism: Players need to continuously move Frost Cores within the arena to cool the BOSS's temperature; otherwise, the entire raid will be instantly killed.
In reality: Chen You went up and started hacking away wildly. Before the Flame Demon Commander could even unleash his skills, he was cut into hundreds of cold stones.
The third boss is the Twin Fire Dragons.
Mechanism: Two tanks need to be separated and killed simultaneously. The time interval between deaths cannot exceed five seconds, otherwise the other tank will revive with full health.
In reality: Chen You slammed the two fire dragons to the ground with a single sword strike, then unleashed a flurry of basic attacks. The two fire dragons didn't even have a chance to take off before being hacked into mincemeat.
The thirty-nine players followed behind Chen You, their initial shock and fear gradually turning into complete numbness.
Their only job now is to wait for Chen You to finish off the monsters, and then rush up like industrious worker ants to pick up the dropped equipment and materials.
The berserker even found a rag somewhere and rushed over to wipe Chen You's shoes every time Chen You stopped.
Although Chen You's shoes weren't dusty at all.
The pastor held his staff throughout, repeatedly making the sign of the cross towards Chen You's back while muttering incantations, as if he were worshipping the true God.
Less than twenty minutes.
The team is now standing at the door of the final boss.
This is a vast underground lava lake.
In the center of the lake is a huge obsidian platform, connected to a narrow stone bridge by a passageway.
The platform was empty except for eight circular magic circles emitting a faint blue light, evenly distributed around the edges.
Behind the platform is a massive bronze gate, hundreds of meters high, with countless strange burning patterns carved on it, and lava seeping out from the cracks in the gate.
The temperature in the air had reached an alarming level.
Even with the resistance bonuses from their equipment, the health bars of several leather-armored classes were slowly decreasing.
Chen You walked to the stone bridge and stopped.
He could sense the enormous energy fluctuations behind the bronze door.
This energy is more than ten times stronger than the previous Murphy.
The berserker immediately jogged forward, his expression becoming extremely serious.
"Wandering God, this is the sleeping place of the final boss, [Ragnar, the Fire Demon King]."
"This door is hard to open," the berserker said, pointing to the eight circular arrays on the ground.
"This is a sacrificial array. There are eight arrays, and five people must stand inside each one."
"If one of them is missing, the door can't be opened."
Chen You nodded.
The mechanism Hill was talking about is right here.
Forty living people must be gathered.
"The important part is at the end." The berserker swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.
"Once you are in position, the magic circle will activate simultaneously."
"It's said that upon activation, an extremely high-intensity fire damage assessment will occur!"
"If you can't withstand it, just burn it to ashes!"
Upon hearing this, the thirty-eight players behind him all gasped in shock.
"Extremely high fire attribute determination?"
"Does that mean we might die if the BOSS appears?"
They've had such a comfortable journey that they've forgotten this is a level 45 hellish raid.
Now, a test suddenly arrives.
Moreover, it is mandatory for all members to participate.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through the mind of one of the thieves.
He suddenly turned his head and lunged at Chen You.
"I want to stand in the same magic circle as the wandering deity!"
A word to awaken the dreamer.
Yup!
Standing next to the God of War, you'll be fine!
The entire team instantly erupted in chaos.
The berserker slid to his knees and stopped at Chen You's feet, grabbing Chen You's thighs tightly with both hands.
"Look at my physique, thick-skinned and tough, I can definitely help you absorb the damage from critical hits!"
"Bullshit!" The priest kicked the berserker in the back and squeezed to the other side of Chen You.
"God! Take me with you! I'm a healer! I can heal myself and you too! Taking me is a sure thing!"
"You think you can heal a fully healed wanderer? Get out of my way!" The thief emerged from the shadows, his face full of obsequiousness. "Wanderer, my evasion is high. I'll stand next to you and definitely won't cause you any trouble!"
"Hey, I'm recommending my sister to you!"
"God of the Road! I didn't say a word! I'm the most obedient! Let me into your circle!"
"The wandering spirit..."
Thirty-nine people completely broke off relations over the four spots that would allow them to stand in the same magic array as Chen You.
They're not stupid.
As long as they stand with the Wanderer, his insane defense—so strong that even bathing in lava won't hurt him—will surely save their lives.
This is the only safe haven.
The scene was extremely chaotic at one point.
Berserkers and knights were wrestling on the ground for a spot, mages and warlocks were pulling each other's hair, and priests were waving wooden sticks and hitting each other randomly.
"Shut up."
Chen You's voice was not loud.
But to the ears of the crowd, it sounded like a thunderclap.
The pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was released instantly, and all thirty-nine people froze at the same time.
Chen You raised his hand and pointed his fingertip at the crowd.
"You, you, you, and you."
He randomly pointed out four people.
The four people who were chosen were the berserker, priest, thief, and mage who had been arguing the loudest earlier.
The four were overjoyed and almost kowtowed on the spot.
"Thank you, God of the Procession! Thank you, God of the Procession!"
The remaining thirty-five people were as if they had lost their parents, their faces ashen.
"As for you," Chen You said, looking at the remaining people, his tone completely calm.
"Stand anywhere. Five people per group, get in place within ten seconds. If you don't get in place within the time limit, I'll personally escort you out of the game."
The Jade Emperor Sword emitted a clear, ringing sound.
No one dared to doubt the truth of this statement.
Thirty-five people scrambled and stumbled towards the stone bridge and the platform.
Faced with a life-or-death crisis, humanity's potential is unleashed to its fullest extent.
In just seven seconds, the seven magic circles were filled.
Five people were crammed into each magic circle, clinging tightly to each other and shivering.
Chen You led the four berserkers to the last magic circle.
"Wandering God, where should we stand?" the Berserker asked cautiously.
"casual."
Chen You stepped into the center of the empty magic array.
The four berserkers immediately clung to Chen You's body like glue, as if they wanted to grow on him.
"Buzz—"
The moment the fortieth person took their place.
The eight magic arrays simultaneously emitted a blinding red light.
