Chapter 1741: Should Not Regret

This also meant that, if they wanted to defeat this Boss, having the Priests control the worshippers would be the most effective method. And as such, it became the only method.

Lu Li had no idea what the first person who ate a scary-looking crab was thinking. Likewise, he was really in such a difficult situation now.

The team had already died twice. Just when Lu Li had no idea what to do, Hachi Chan spoke up.

“How about, we try to control these two little monsters? Aunty Angela said that Faerlina’s followers don’t have their own independent mind; they can be controlled by the Priests.”

The Aunty Angela she spoke of was the Archmage Angela Dosantos, an NPC of Light’s Hope Chapel.

Lu Li was flabbergasted. Having been stuck for so long, it turned out that the solution was so simple.

He knew ages ago that he shouldn’t test his luck against Remnant Dream, nor his Charisma against Hachi Chan.

But actually, Lu Li was being too harsh on himself before.

Although they were in the Plaguelands, where Lu Li had suffered the most, he and old Fordring had a super tight-knit relationship. All the NPCs in the Plaguelands were thankful for his support.

It was a shame that this couldn’t match up with that System’s girl.

“Alright, in a second the priests will control the little monsters. Try it out, and see what the little monsters can do,” Lu Li said, happily agreeing with Hachi Chan’s suggestion. He was also planning to reward her with a few DKP. This silly girl was getting whatever she wanted.

Of course, controlling the little monsters couldn’t be left to the two main healers, March Rain and Star Baby. Machine Bro and Jaweika were both up for the task.

Machine Bro and Innocent Child were both called ‘Machine Bro’, but since Machine Bro was 2 years older, he was called ‘Big Machine’. Innocent Child, being the younger of the two, could only be known as ‘Lil’ Machine.’

The Priests soon found out that the followers couldn’t be controlled, and that only the worshippers could.

The followers were killed first and the four worshippers were split up and pulled. After the followers died, the Main Tank pulled the Boss to the middle of the room, and everyone stood in a similar position to when they were fighting the Princess of the Black Dragonflight. They spread out around the room and stood firmly as a tight group together that could resist fire and rain.

The four worshippers didn’t need to all be controlled. Just one or two were enough to accomplish the task of removing the Boss’ Berserk. When one monster had been controlled, a debuff would prevent it from being controlled again for a short time. During this time, they would switch to control another worshipper.

Actually, after they grew accustomed to this, a Priest was able to completely get rid of the Boss’ Berserk.

As long as the Boss didn’t go Berserk, it could be killed fairly easily.

Since the team’s antidotes were relatively powerful, it actually wasn’t even as hard to kill this Boss compared to the first one. Not long after, they found themselves victorious in this battle.

The equipment that was dropped out wasn’t anything special. It couldn’t be compared at all to the first Boss.

The Splinter of Atiesh and some T3 parts were rewarded, which could be considered a rather mediocre drop. After all, not every Boss would drop Skill Books. In fact, you could say that most Bosses, even if you got the First Clear, wouldn’t drop a Skill Book for you.

Following this was the last Boss of the spider zone, Maexxna.

Maexxna’s appearance was that of a ginormous, scary spider. She was guarding the last frontline of the spider zone. On her large spider web lay the corpses of intruders that nourished her countless children.

Although the plague that the Lich King Ner’zhul gave to Kel’Thuzad only made humans turn into the undead, it also affected other non-human lifeforms.

In the Plaguelands, there were many plants and animals that were mutated. A certain native spider had transformed to become ginormous.

Kel’Thuzad, the real master of the Plaguelands, maintained his scientific curiosity after death. When he heard the news that there were all sorts of giant plants and creatures in the Plaguelands, he immediately set off himself to shackle up these giant creatures and brought them back for Naxxramas to research.

“What strange changes! The plague has brought a lot of interesting things; gigantism is just one aspect. There are also corrupting toxins, as well as tough, tensile and super sticky spiderwebs. It’s all so amazing!”

“What a shame its dead, but it actually left behind a huge pile of eggs! It looks like I can investigate how these changes occurred in the plague-ridden environment.

“It’s really so interesting!”

Only 70% of the eggs successfully hatched, and as soon as they were born, they began to slaughter each other. In just a short 20 minutes, they had used their own methods to determine who was the final king. This final victor only took three days to grow larger than its mother, and more greedy! Ordinary corpses infected with the plague were already unsatisfactory for its appetite, and only the special giant scavenging maggots of the Plaguelands could fill its belly.

“I’ve decided to name it Maexxna – the legendary pet of the gods of the Spider Kingdom!”

It was said that this monster had legs five meters long and stood three meters tall.

Of the other two, the first was a spider, and although it was scary, at least at the end of the day, it still looked like a spider. The second was even less worth talking about. Not only was it not scary, but it was just a pet. It actually looked as pretty as a lady.

The one in front of them, though, was different. It was not quite the legendary three-meter tall monster with five meter legs, but it was at least two meters tall. No one in the team was as tall as Yao Ming, so they had to look up at it.

The thing that made everyone most disgusted was that the spider kept on salivating.

Azure Sea Breeze was livid. If he went up to pull the monster, the spittle from the spider would definitely wash his face for him.

“Go on Breezy – what are you waiting for? It can’t be because you think this Boss isn’t as glamorous as the last one?”

No matter how you heard it, Lu Li’s tone sounded like he was taking pleasure in pain.

“Should not regret...ah...ah...”

Azure Sea Breeze didn’t know either of where he heard it before, but he was actually able to sing Peking opera.

If he knew earlier, then he wouldn’t have chosen to be a Main Tank. He realized that a Main Tank meant being abused. Every time there was a Boss, he would be crushed. He wasn’t someone who got pleasure from pain. He completely regretted his decision now.

However, he liked the feeling of having everyone looking at him. In a team, the commander was the most important, and next was the Main Tank. Of the Ruling Sword PVE team, apart from Lu Li, the other players only knew about Azure Sea Breeze.

He was in a position that was even more watched than celebrities were.

It was a case of choosing the lesser of two evils. Even if they were both good choices, it was still the same principle. Thinking about the greatness of his Main Tank position, Azure Sea Breeze wielded the Greatsword of the Brotherhood with one hand, lifted his shield with the other and charged towards the spider’s hideous mouth.
