Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Liu Nian and the others exchanged glances, and without any doubt, they all clicked "confirm".

"We would be very happy to help you resolve this threat!"

So the team then began to move to the right.

As the group ventured deeper, the echoes grew increasingly eerie, even beginning to distort, creating a kind of whispering mental interference.

Several people felt unwell and nauseous.

Fortunately, they arrived at their destination after walking for a short while.

This was a relatively open area covered with huge, pale snail shells, where they encountered the dominant species.

A behemoth more than three times the size of a normal predator crab is hiding inside a giant snail shell.

Its carapace is darker, almost black, and most peculiarly, its two exposed giant claws have mutated in shape, resembling two huge hollow barrel-shaped cavities.

【Echo Weaver Krakenis LV.22 (Area Boss)】

Several people gathered together to discuss how to defeat the BOSS.

Unlike in other places where there were guides for defeating bosses.

This is a new boss. If you don't understand its mechanics, you'll lose big time if you die!

Liu Nian observed the BOSS and asked Wu Zhan, "Guild Leader, do you think this BOSS might have hidden drop conditions like the Mystic Puppet?"

Wu Zhan scratched his head and said, "That's not necessarily true, but we probably don't have time to figure it out slowly right now!"

"Liu Nian, did you fight those level 10 Mystic Puppet pairs?" Zhao Xinchun couldn't help but ask.

"Mm." Liu Nian nodded.

Zhao Xinchun's expression changed. She had tried it before, but unfortunately, she was an assassin, good at single-target burst damage, but her area-of-effect attacks were too weak. In the end, although she killed the pair of puppets, she did not meet the condition of killing them simultaneously.

"Judging from its appearance, this BOSS is definitely the tough, thick-skinned type. The main thing to watch out for is its two mutated arms; they look like cannons to me," Wu Zhan pondered. "Considering this place is called the Earth Sound Corridor, there's a high probability those two cannons can unleash sonic attacks!"

Chen Suandao: "So, this BOSS can fight in both melee and ranged combat?"

Wu Zhan shook his head: "It's not long-range. If its cannon is firing sonic attacks, it's only considered a mid-range attack, not long-range. But it doesn't matter. The nest isn't that big anyway, and the power of sonic attacks will definitely be amplified inside. So we still need our friends' help!"

Mekkatorque immediately dispatched his two guards: "They will assist you!"

Liu Nian, however, was calculating the damage he had caused.

With the support of various equipment, his health has now reached 13650, and a fully charged Deliberate Punch can deal up to 10020 points of true damage!

Faced with this real injury, nothing seems scary anymore.

The unstoppable damage also broke the 1 mark. Of course, this only refers to the panel damage; the actual damage depends on the enemy's magic resistance.

Soul Drain Strike can deal 3313 damage, while the 439 damage triggered by Heart Steel is rather insignificant in comparison.

Of course, the main purpose of Heart Steel is to increase health. Without this, the damage of Deliberate Punch and Unstoppable Force would not be so high!

Therefore, as long as he can touch the BOSS with his Heart Steel and deduce its health value, he can kill it instantly once its health drops below 10000!

No skills required, it's all about numbers!

It's that simple and straightforward.

While the four people over there were still intensely discussing how to figure out the BOSS's mechanics, Liu Nian was already thinking about how to kill the monster instantly.

At this point, Wu Zhan finally finished his discussion, and the five of them, along with the two dwarfs, stepped into the BOSS's territory.

In the center of the area, deep within that nest covered in pale snail shells, accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of rocks grinding together, a massive shadow slowly emerged from a snail shell as large as a building.

Unlike the little monster, this is a "hermit crab".

Liu Nian squinted, scrutinizing the overlord known as the "Echo Weaver".

Its size far exceeded any of the predator crabs encountered before, resembling a small tank.

The carapace is not a typical dark brown, but a matte black that seems to absorb light, with layers of pale white patterns naturally engraved on it, like the spreading of water ripples, making it look both mysterious and eerie.

Most striking are its completely mutated forelimbs.

The area that should have been the giant claws has been replaced by two huge, hollow, barrel-shaped cavities, as if they were carved from rough rock.

The edges of the cavity were still trembling slightly, emitting a continuous, low "hum...hum..." echo, as if a destructive power was brewing inside.

Just by staring at those "sonic cannons," Liu Nian felt a dull ache in his eardrums, as if even the surrounding air was vibrating.

【Echo Weaver Krakenis LV.22 (BOSS)】

It exhaled a stream of water vapor, its body sank slightly, and its eight long, arthropod legs dug deep into the ground, as stable as a rock.

The pair of hollow sonic cannons slightly adjusted their direction, aiming at the intruders' location, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire team.

Wu Zhan took a deep breath and roared, "Prepare for battle! Watch out for those 'speakers,' they're definitely a sonic attack!!"

Liu Nian licked his lips, his eyes showing no fear but rather a glint of excitement.

"As planned, let's probe first!" Wu Zhan stepped forward with his shield raised, letting out a low roar that roused the team's battle cry.

Zhao Xinchun then entered stealth mode, falling half a meter behind Wu Zhan.

Chen Suan applied a buff to the two of them.

This wasn't their first time working together, and they were quite adept at it.

Sun Yao was the first to launch an attack. He waved his staff, and a blazing fireball pierced the darkness, striking the BOSS's thick armor first.

-51!

The moment the damage numbers appeared, the wavy patterns on Krakenis's carapace suddenly lit up, and an invisible sonic wave spread out from its center!

boom!

Wu Zhan was the first to be hit. Even when he raised his shield to block, the rebounding sound wave made his blood surge, and a "-120" rebound damage indicator appeared above his head.

Further back, Sun Yao and Zhao Xinchun were also affected to varying degrees.

"Watch out! This shell reacts to attacks and can trigger sonic damage!" Wu Zhan immediately shouted a warning.

Liu Nian's expression changed slightly.

This thing is really messed up!

Its entire body is like a drum; when it comes into contact with a physical attack, it will trigger area-of-effect sonic damage!

Sonic waves are considered area-of-effect magic damage, so raising a shield is not very useful; you have to tank the damage or use a mana shield to mitigate it.

Before everyone could adjust their tactics, Krakenis let out a piercing, strange sound, and its right claw suddenly aimed at Zhao Xinchun, who was rushing forward trying to find a weakness.

Buzz—Boom!

A visible, air-distorting fan-shaped sonic boom shot out!
