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

This is a defensive synergy badge similar to Spore Symbiosis, and its specific effect is:

【Name: The Defenders Society - Microbial Resonance】

[Type: Special Item (Bond Badge)]

Quality: Grade A

[Maximum number of people: 50]

[Synergy Effect: When all players with this synergy active are in the same battle or war, they gain a resonance effect, increasing their armor and magic resistance by 10%. For each additional player with this synergy active, the armor and magic resistance bonus increases by an additional 0.5%, up to a maximum of 35%.]

After equipping it, Liu Nian's tankiness was further enhanced.

At this moment, Wu Zhan realized that something was wrong.

"Holy crap, how did my health suddenly increase by over ten thousand points?"

His shout alerted other players with the Spore Symbiosis synergy, who were all astonished.

This was naturally due to the improvement that Liu Nian brought to them.

Because they entered a solo dungeon before, the bond was invalidated. But now that Liu Nian has returned, the bond has naturally started to take effect again. Moreover, they have already pushed through two mushroom tribes and obtained more than 30 spore symbiosis bond badges, which means that they can now share 15% of Liu Nian's maximum health!

Even with his vast experience, Wu Zhan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he discovered that his health had suddenly increased by more than 10,000 points.

Even those level 50 characters don't have that much HP!

When other members calculated that Liu Nian's actual health was over 72000, the entire guild channel was once again flooded with words like "Holy crap," "freak," "inhuman," and "Are you a humanoid BOSS?"

Liu Nian chuckled, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

They had no idea that Liu Nian's health hadn't just increased; his attack power and damage had also reached an insane level!

It was already noon. Although it wasn't visible in the underground space, there was still a timer running. (PS: Lazy setting: Cyber ​​Hell has 24 hours a day.)

You need to eat here too. Although hunger isn't a very critical attribute, you'll still lose health once it reaches zero, and you'll become very uncomfortable and irritable. So eating something is still very necessary.

After resting, the team continued their journey according to the map towards the third and last marked mushroom tribe in this area.

As the environment changed once again, the journey became scorching hot, as if walking on a volcano.

After passing through a scorching cave reeking of sulfur, the group entered a huge underground cavity covered with crimson fungal carpet.

The air here is hot and dry, a stark contrast to the damp and cold conditions of the previous two tribes.

Looking around, the tribe's architecture is aggressive: their houses are conical towers made up of countless sharp, hardened fungal columns, as clear as rubies, with sparks constantly flying from the tops. Instead of walls, the tribe is surrounded by eruptions on the ground that open and close, spewing forth scorching spores.

In the center of the tribe, an unusually tall and thin giant crimson mushroom, its top constantly bursting with dazzling sparks, burned like a torch. Its hanging mycelium was not soft, but rather waving, barbed, fiery whips.

The mushroom warriors here are entirely crimson, their forms even more ferocious. Their arms have mutated into fiery claws or projectile organs capable of hurling explosive fungal tumors, their movements exuding a violent and destructive aura.

"Those with fire resistance gear, switch to fire resistance gear. Support classes, buff everyone with magic resistance and magic shields!" The warrior began to give instructions.

Then, the same tactic was used again, with the high-level team members striking once more to destroy the eruption holes and conical mushroom towers.

When the defensive line was breached, this time there was no need for everyone to lure the monsters, because the fungus from this tribe were far more aggressive than before. As soon as a gap was torn in the defensive line, a large number of crimson fungus warriors roared and charged out like lava bursting its banks! They were generally over level 30, wielding burning claws and hurling scorching fungal tumors with a destructive aura.

Thanks to the 10000+ HP boost provided by Liu Nian and the defensive attributes provided by the fungal resonance, the members of the Dragon Abyss Guild were greatly encouraged and fearless. They charged straight in, and the two sides began a great battle!

"Hold on! Tanks, take turns tanking damage; healers, keep an eye on health! DPS, focus fire on the melee mobs that are charging!"

Wu Zhan stood at the forefront, his shield constantly exploding with the impact of flames and spores, producing a dull, loud bang.

Other melee fighters like Wang Tugang and Zhang Hanshan also managed to hold off a portion of the monsters, and they too felt the significant boost from the Bond Badge. What might have been an instant kill from focused fire was now easily withstood, mainly because the healers had more time to react.

"Hahaha! That feels great! I've never been this hard before!"

Wang Tugang laughed wildly, activating [Brutal Fury], and swung his double axes into a blood-red storm, tearing the crimson mushroom-men who tried to bypass him to shreds.

Behind the solid defensive line, the ranged attackers began their performance.

Su Wan stood in a relatively safe position, and a dazzling light gathered at the tip of her staff.

[Arcane Gear Shot] roared out, leaping wildly through the monster horde, each bounce weakening their magic resistance and taking away a chunk of their health. She targeted the densest area of ​​monsters and chanted an even more powerful [Flame Storm], instantly turning the ground into a sea of ​​fire that intertwined with the mushroom's own flames, causing continuous and considerable damage.

Li Xun's evil curses acted like invisible shackles, with the [Curse of Pain] and [Curse of Weakness] continuously binding the elite mushrooms charging at the front, rendering their attacks weak and ineffective, and making their movement feel like being stuck in a quagmire, greatly reducing the pressure on the front line.

Liu Nian's target was very clear—those exceptionally tall and heavily armored [Crimson Flame Giant Mushroom Guardians (Elite LV.33)]. In his eyes, these creatures were walking [Heart of Steel] levels!

Wu Zhan knew very well that a monster like Liu Nian could not be treated like an ordinary player. Letting him do whatever he wanted was the best way to use him. If he were to be given command, it would probably backfire.

Besides, he didn't understand this illogical guy at all, so how could he possibly give orders?

Liu Nian used the same method: after entering with [Shadow Strike], he activated Vast Mind, followed by Lightning Kick, causing the earth to rumble. After triggering Heart Steel to obtain the monster's exact health, he finished it off with Soul Drain Strike when it was almost dead.

The whole process was smooth and efficient. In less than five seconds, Liu Nian easily killed a level 33 elite that would require a team of players to focus their fire on to deal with.

Without pausing, he locked his gaze on the next elite monster and pounced again.

If he encounters an emergency on his teammates' side, he will charge straight in with an unstoppable force, dealing over 60000 area damage, enough to eliminate any enemy on the scene!

With such efficient coordination, the Dragon Abyss Guild moved forward steadily, like a giant meat grinder.

The front row was as solid as a rock, the back row provided firepower, and Liu Nian was like the sharpest spearhead, specializing in gnawing at the toughest bones, and in the process, his health and damage snowballed.

This warlike mushroom tribe was gradually dismantled and crushed by the overwhelming strength and exquisite teamwork displayed by the Dragon Abyss Guild. Everyone's level was steadily increasing.
