The monks in the Guanjue Temple dungeon are not difficult to deal with. Since they are unarmored units, their defense is very easy to be broken.
When the armored soldiers of Chongyu County formed a battle formation and advanced to the gate of the temple, they poked the ground with the butts of their spears and placed them on large shields.
Then he ordered the archers to shoot towards the interior of the temple to attract the monks inside to attack.
With the help of the solid walls and the small temple gate, two rows of spear and shield soldiers firmly held the line.
Even though the monk who was lured in was a level 5 warrior, he was still pierced by the sharp spear tip and could not move forward or backward.
“Zhou Qudu, the leader of this secret realm is hiding on the second floor of the Buddhist temple. As soon as we enter the temple, he will fly down and attack us.
He was good at running, jumping, punching and grappling. In the past, the county lieutenant had to fight with him, so we took the opportunity to surround him.
Then press the shield against his body, making it unable to move; and pierce his head with the spear, damaging his ears and eyes."
Through Chongyu Jiashi's introduction, Zhou Yuan understood that the boss here was an assassin-type monster with high mobility and single-target burst.
This kind of monster is afraid of fighting, and is even more afraid of being restricted in its movement space.
No wonder Hu Hua, the county lieutenant of Chongyu, was a close combat swordsman. It was estimated that when the imperial court dispatched him to garrison, they considered which attack method would be more effective.
However, this information is of little reference value to Zhou Yuan.
As a shooter, he won't rush forward to engage in close combat, but will only take the initiative and deal high burst damage.
After finding out the boss's whereabouts when entering the temple, he consumed 10% of his life, drew his bow and pulled a fully loaded blood arrow.
Sure enough, the moment the soldiers entered the temple, a monk in plain clothes jumped down from the second floor of the Buddhist temple.
Zhou Yuan, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally would not miss this opportunity. He loosened his fingers and the arrow with bloody flames attached to it shot out.
Whoosh, the speeding arrow hit the falling 【Level 10 Abbot Guanjue】.
Since he had no leverage in the air, the powerful arrow had a knockback effect, destroying Guanjue's balance and causing him to stagger and take two steps back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Yuan once again used the full-load Blood Evil Arrow Technique with a pre-swing of gathering evil, blowing Guan Jue's neck in half.
Without the covering of flesh, bright red blood spurted out, instantly dyeing the arrow stuck in the cervical spine red.
Zhou Yuan's first arrow hit the boss's abdomen, and the second arrow hit his neck.
Under his high-burst attack regardless of consumption, the boss's health bar plummeted by 72% in an instant, and only 28% remained, and he was still losing blood.
Such a ferocious attack on the vital points also caused the "crippled" state, which greatly affected Guan Jue's mobility.
But Master Guan Jue did not give up struggling. He leaped up like an eagle swooping down on its prey, flying over the front row of armored soldiers and trying to attack Zhou Yuan directly.
But he was hit in the face by Zhou Yuan's arrow and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the boss who was good at jumping was actually controlled by the powerful arrow.
Even though the arrow shot by Zhou Yuan quickly had no blood evil attached to it, it still took away 10% of Guan Jue's health.
Coupled with his constantly losing health bar, he now only has 16% of his health left.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Chongyu's soldiers would never let him get up. The front row turned around and held down their shields, while the back row held their guns with both hands and stabbed hard.
Zhou Yuan took the opportunity to use the Blood Evil Arrow Technique to fire another arrow, completely emptying Guan Jue's health bar.
【Ding, kill the level 10 Guanjue host, experience +300】
Guan Jue gave Zhou Yuan the feeling that the monster was tougher than a level 10 Moon Rabbit and easier to beat than a level 10 Golden Toad.
But he is a boss after all, and the things he drops are much better than those of monsters of the same level.
【Ding, get Guanli Fire Dates*3, Lifting Technique*1】
【Ingredients: Guanli Fire Dates】
【Introduction: Three cups of nectar penetrate the bones, the frequent jujubes add to the warrior's face, the fire breath enters the body and emits a burning aura, the majesty is revealed at three o'clock and three quarters.】
【Effect: After use, it will trigger the "Fire" state, adding burning damage to melee skills.
Note: The duration of the fire state is 6 hours and 45 minutes.
【Skill: Lifting Technique】
Introduction: Also known as the Dragonfly Skimming Water Technique or the Galloping Technique, it involves walking with your feet, lifting and exploring the depths, as if facing an abyss or treading on thin ice. Resting within, one's mind remains focused and attains tranquility.
【Effect: Increases movement speed and jump ability after use. When actively activated by consuming spiritual energy, it can eliminate some footstep sounds and reduce fall damage.】
Both Guanlihuozao and Tizongshu are very valuable.
Among them, the temporary "fire" effect of Guanli Fire Dates is simply a close combat weapon.
Only the locals cannot pick up the dropped objects, otherwise this Guanjue Temple copy will definitely become a treasure trove for melee warriors.
Not to mention the Leaping Technique, which increases movement speed and reduces falling damage, both of which are very practical effects.
"Zhou Qudu, this is the secret treasure chest here."
Two armored soldiers carried out a copper-inlaid treasure chest from the Buddhist temple. Zhou Yuan opened it and found one copy of the martial arts diagram 【Burning Wood Palm】, 10 copies of Jisheng Powder, and two copies of Yiqi Paste.
Jishengsan is a blood-replenishing medicine, which is much better than wound medicine.
Zhou Yuan had used the Qi-boosting ointment before. After he had used the Three Talents Seal to kill the Painted Skin Ghost, Captain Jing'an gave him a portion. It was a spiritual item that could slowly replenish Qi.
No wonder County Lieutenant Chongyu said that there was a shortage of spiritual objects. Considering the strength of the boss in this dungeon, and the fact that there were only two blue medicines in the treasure chest, it was indeed a loss-making deal for him.
However, for things like dungeon treasure chests, the main thing is skills, and the other medicines are just for show.
"How about this martial arts atlas? Have you all practiced it?"
"No, the county lieutenant said this martial art requires spiritual energy to stimulate, but there's no record of how to stimulate 'fire energy'. It's just a useless thing in name only."
After Chong Yujiabing said this, Zhou Yuan understood.
Guanli Fire Date and Ranmu Palm are obviously complementary items. If you only take one of the martial arts without the Guanli Fire Date that stimulates the fire energy, Ranmu Palm will naturally not be useful.
"Commander Zhou Qu, do you still want to inspect the secret realm? If not, we will withdraw and send in auxiliary troops.
They have to melt elephants and mine copper, pick dates and chop wood; these tasks can keep them busy for half a month."
The Chongyu Camp clearly inherited the Jing'an Army's virtue of plucking feathers from passing geese, and even melted the Buddha statues in the temple.
I guess they will only talk about attacking again after they have cleaned up the secret realm.
"Nothing, the output of the secret realm is fixed, just report it normally."
After leaving the Guanjue Temple copy, Zhou Yuan found that Chongyu County Lieutenant Hu Hua was waiting eagerly in the warehouse.
After seeing him come out, Hu Hua stepped forward quickly and handed him a Qi-invigorating ointment and a martial arts atlas.
"County Lieutenant Hu, this martial arts atlas is easy to copy and not too valuable, so I'll accept it.
As for this Qi-boosting spiritual item, the yield is quite small, so I feel embarrassed to take it."
"Why should I be embarrassed? Our spiritual creatures are scarce and we don't have to pay spiritual taxes. All the spiritual creatures produced in the secret realm belong to the military camp.
I still have some spiritual food from the imperial court, so you can take it without worry."
"Spiritual tax? Does the imperial court still have such a tax?"
"Of course there is. All other taxes are collected by local authorities and then handed over to the imperial court. Only this spiritual tax is supervised by the central imperial guards. It is the most important of all taxes and the foundation of the country.
Not to mention us, those noble families, Taoist temples and Buddhist temples also have to pay.
It’s just that some people pay and receive rewards, just to gain a reputation; others pay without receiving rewards, just to feel at ease.”
