Chapter 1742: Not First Clear Again
Maexxna’s normal attack were pitiful . It was as if this spider monster couldn’t rely on its ordinary attack to survive .
However, Maexxna soon showed off her special methods .
Her claws kicked around, sending Moonlight, Lu Li and Sakura Memories flying . They flew right into the wall, and were stuck to it by the Boss’ phlegm-like web .
The web wriggled like it was alive, wrapping up the three people on the wall in a cocoon .
Each of them received 600-800 damage every 2 seconds . It was not clear how long this would continue for, just that they kept incurring damage . The healers couldn’t see them, and they had no way to restore HP to them .
“Haha, I never thought you would see this day,” Azure Sea Breeze said, taking pleasure in their pain as he wiped off some of the drool that the spider had sprayed on his face .
It was really hard to say who actually had it worse, but at least when they were suffering together, he was a bit more at peace .
“Attack this spider web!” Lu Li shouted in a muffled voice from under the web .
It was good that he could still take his own potions, otherwise, there was no point waiting for help . These spider webs had HP and could be attacked . It was just that Lu Li’s limbs were trapped, so he had no way to attack from the inside .
The other players received this command and launched into action straight away . Very quickly, they freed the three people from the spider web .
The spider web had about 6000 HP . If a few people attacked it, they could finish it off in under 10 seconds . The main thing was they had to be coordinated, and the people trapped in the web couldn’t run out of health, otherwise, they wouldn’t be saved in time .
Maexxna was called the spider queen, so she naturally had the will to summon little spiders . It would be strange if she was incapable of summoning them .
These little spiders didn’t have much HP . They were mainly effective because they would self-destruct just before their died . The team had faced this sort of monster when they were in the Spider Lair . They didn’t even need Lu Li’s command to deal with them .

What led to a team wipe was another skill called Bind .
This time, Maexxna didn’t just spit out three globules of phlegm, but actually spit out a few dozen, binding everyone .
This continued for 10 seconds, and during this time, everyone’s actions would be prevented . It did 1500-2000 damage, so a lot a people died in this time . After all, Maexxna was a venomous spider, and the venom was especially strong . With this single attack, quite a few players died within seconds .
What was even worse was that the healers were also trapped, so no one could heal the Main Tank .
Over half of the team died, including Azure Sea Breeze . Lu Li helplessly declared this battle over, telling everyone to just peacefully close their eyes and accept defeat .
“Actually I could keep it up, it was just that I didn’t have much HP to begin with,” Azure Sea Breeze said regretfully . Even if he stood still for 10 seconds and let the Boss bully him, he might not have necessarily been defeated . The main issue was that he had been poisoned by the Boss’ venom before .
It looked like this venom only targeted the Main Tank . The result was that it reduced the effectiveness of healing by 90% . The healers were a little careless . They simply didn’t heal his HP up to over 50% .
“Healers, take note and raise everyone’s HP, especially Breezy’s . Don’t let his HP drop below 50%, and those who can get rid of the venom, make sure that there’s no venom affecting him,” Lu Li instructed .
Evidently, this Boss was here to bother the healers .
However, the strongest in this three-way alliance were still the healers . There were two celebrity competitor priests, Star Baby and March Rain, as well as other celebrity competitors such as Innocent Child . Hachi Chan also had all sort of tricks up her sleeves . The Tank Healer Darkness, already had some amazing equipment on her . Furthermore, there was the Priest Machine Bro, who had been a stalwart of the First Clear team .
After they were shot away and trapped in those threads which had been spit out, they actually also

needed to make sure that those who were trapped had enough HP as well .
As long as everyone’s HP was maintained above a safe level, the ability for this Boss to cause a team wipe was lowered compared to the previous Bosses .
It was only when the Boss had 30% HP and went Berserk that you could say it behaved more elegantly .
At this time, both her attacking power and speed increased dramatically . If the Main Tank wasn’t competent enough, then they would packed up and left the Instance Dungeon earlier .
It was a good thing that Azure Sea Breeze was powerful . When the Berserk stage ended, he was close to being finished off, but in the end, he still kept his HP level stable .
Since the Main Tank wouldn’t become the weak link in the Berserk stage, all that was left was teamwork and luck . After the three-way alliance died a few times, they finished off the final Boss of the spider zone, even faster than Lu Li expected .
He originally thought that if they finished off the spider zone in the first day, it wouldn’t be bad .
However, they achieved their target in just over half a day . If everyone kept up their performance, they might even finish off the Boss in the next zone .
However, they still had to loot the corpse and divide up the loot .
“Did we get First Clear this time?” Azure Sea Breeze asked .
Strangely enough, the first Boss dropped a Strengthening Skill Book, so it wasn’t easy to judge if it was a First Clear . Judging by the slim pickings from the second Boss, it was clear that the First Clear had been taken by someone else . Now, it was the third Boss…
This time, it was different to the previous Bosses . Green Flag Wine from Peerless City received Skill Point .
It was evident that it was becoming harder and harder to gain Skill Points . A lot of times, there would be 40 people fighting one Boss and in the end, only one person received a Skill Point as a reward .
“How do I know if it’s a First Clear? We have to see what it can give us,” Lu Li said . The Skill Points weren’t enough to determine anything .
Remnant Dream looted the corpse . The materials and the Skill Book that were revealed first were rather average . At this stage, everyone already had the Skill Books that they needed . However, these books were almost impossible to obtain for ordinary players .
Then came the equipment . In terms of Epic equipment, there was a piece of jewelry .
Pendant of Forgotten Names!
It was probably a healer’s piece of jewelry .
This Pendant looked like an Exquisite item but actually, the demand for it wasn’t high . In the end, it was taken away by Machine Bro at an affordable price .
Wraith Blade!
This was a single-handed magic weapon . Judging by its appearance, it looked to suit Warlocks more . In the end, it was given to Kitty Likes Meat, because this weapon had a special effect for PVP . You could pull someone towards you, regardless of whether they were friend or foe .
Desecrated Gauntlets – a T3 set item, designed for Thieves .
Lu Li spent some DKP and purchased the Gauntlets . He would let March Rain deal with making them and then, they could be used .
He was still using T2 equipment . He had to swap to T3 equipment sooner or later . But of course, if there were separate pieces of equipment of even better quality with no set effect, it was actually still fine .
A second Desecrated Gauntlets were dropped, and this time, it was taken away by Water Fairy . She already had a T3 item, and with this, she could combined them to activated the first special set effect .
After this was the Splinter of Atiesh, and that was all .
It seemed as though this wasn’t a First Clear after all . Although there were four Epic pieces, the actual value of these four pieces was were just too low .
