Chapter 1749: Gluth’s Missing Collar

There was a match in the afternoon, but there wasn’t too much pressure, so Lu Li didn’t bother resting and continued on with the next Boss .

The Undead Plague dog Gluth was obediently sitting in Naxxramas, waiting for his master’s orders .

He was a mutated, sutured monster and was known as ‘two-dog’ . This Undead guard dog was protecting the last door in the Abomination Zone . His appetite couldn’t be satisfied with some pet biscuits, as it was unusual like his huge body . Rumour had it that Gluth could swallow an Undead army and the rotten flesh to repair its own .

In their battle with him, the adventurers were about to experience the ‘appetite’ of two-dog .

The Cursed Church were the representatives of the Scourge in the living world . These slaves retained the appearance of living beings, but their hearts were completely corrupted as Undead . If it weren’t for Kel’Thuzad ordering them to live in the living world, these guys would definitely commit suicide in exchange for eternal immortality .

Members of the Cursed Church didn’t just exist among the humans . They were in Orgrimmar, Darnassus and Steel Stove Castle too . They were among the merchants, the officials, the military and the mercenaries, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Lich King Arthas .

Arthas had absorbed all the memories of Ner’zhul and knew of Azeroth’s past . Acquiring Ragnaros the Firelord’s strength was one of his top priorities . However, to acquire the strength of the elements, you had to first understand them . As such, Kel’Thuzad instructed his Cursed Disciples to live among the mercenaries . When a Mercenary Group defeated the Molten Core, they were to steal as much knowledge of the elementals as possible . They had infiltrated Nefarian’s Lair and even got the secrets of Chromaggus and Broodlord Lashlayer .

When Kel’Thuzad saw the molten cub and Nefarian’s gene fusion technology, a brilliant idea popped into his evil mind .

He used Grobbulus to synthesise a new plague and injected it into the poor molten cub . After a week of mutation, an incomparably big and fierce Undead dog was born .

However, this new creature had a fatal weakness because the mutation had caused its bones and muscles to be quite fragile . As such, it couldn’t be used on the battlefield as a weapon . So, Kel’Thuzad gave it a new ability so that its appetite would never be satisfied and kept it as the Naxxramas’ famous Scourge gatekeeper .

Fighting two-dog was not easy, as its normal attacks were quite strong and it had very unusual skills .

The skill that it used most often was a debuff that reduced healing effects by 10%, and could be stacked . This was similar to the first Boss of the Ahn’Qiraj Ruins . Because of this, Lu Li arranged to have two Main Tanks take the debuff in turns . If they only had one tank, then they would definitely lose .

If you assumed that going Berserk was every Boss’ trump card, then Gluth would prove you wrong .

This Boss would go Berserk once every 10 seconds .

Fortunately, this Berserk could be dispelled by a Hunter’s Tranquilizing Shot . As long as there were Hunters on the team, there wouldn’t be many issues . Lu Li’s team had three Hunters – Remnant Dream, Bearded Zaza and Peerless City’s Vegetarian Mosquito .

Vegetarian Mosquito had been on standby for a long time and now finally had the chance to enter the Instance Dungeon .

Lu Li couldn’t just leave people on standby forever either, even if their PVE damage output was a little worse . Even if Vegetarian Mosquito and the other players weren’t needed, he would occasionally bring them in so they would have an opportunity to gain some equipment .

The third skill was a summoning skill . Two-dog would summon zombies in three areas .

The zombies had a debuff that was applied when they attacked . This debuff increased physical damage taken by 100 and could be stacked .

Lu Li’s team had been wiped several times because of these zombies . If it was just one debuff, it would have only been 100 extra damage . However, if they were stacked, then the damage would quickly start adding up .

“Don’t bother killing the zombies . Mosquito, can you kite them around?” Lu Li asked .

At this time, the usefulness of a PVP Hunter could be demonstrated . Neither Remnant Dream nor Bearded Zaza were particularly skilled at kiting, at least not compared to a professional player . Vegetarian Mosquito nodded confidently, but he did have some concerns .

“If they are attacked while I am kiting them, I won’t be able to hold onto them . ”

“Here is a potion that can increase your aggro . Just drink that,” Lu Li said as he took out a new potion . This wasn’t something he had purchased from the Exchange Hall, but was one of Cold Chill’s new works . It was intended to reinforce the Main Tank’s aggro so that the other players wouldn’t steal it away .

With this potion, Vegetarian Mosquito’s job was made much simpler .

However, the mobs weren’t always being pulled away . As the number of monsters kept increasing, there was a greater chance that Vegetarian Mosquito would make a mistake .

Two-dog’s fourth skill was called Decimate and was cast once every two minutes . All the players and monsters in the room would have their HP set to 5% and all Aggro would be reset, even those being pulled by Vegetarian Mosquito . The monsters had to be killed quickly, otherwise, they would run to the Boss and be devoured by him . Each monster that two-dog swallowed would grant him 5% HP .

At least this still was balanced, and eating the monsters didn’t grant him full HP .

The last skill was an area-of-effect Fear, which was cast once everyone 20 seconds . It had a 20-yard range, but a Shaman’s Tremor Totem or a Priest’s Dispel could deal with it .

These skills seemed to be manageable, but when they actually faced them, they realized it wasn’t so simple . They were wiped quite a few times, and it took them until noon before they finally killed two-dog .

“Quickly distribute the items so you can take a break before the competition,” Lu Li instructed, breathing a sigh of relief .

“Can we watch the competition together?” Azure Sea Breeze asked . The reason he didn’t participate in PVP wasn’t because he didn’t enjoy it, but because he wasn’t good at it . Even so, he still liked spectating the matches .

“What do you mean? There is nothing for you to watch . We’ll keep going with the Instance Dungeon . Sky Moon, you can be the commander . I hope that you’ll be able to defeat the next Boss while we fight this match . ”

They were trying to get the First Clear, so there was no time to watch the match .

The match wasn’t even between the top 100 yet, so there was nothing to see .

“Shameless Lu…” Azure Sea Breeze muttered, but didn’t oppose it .

Remnant Dream quickly looted the equipment . There was one valuable gem among the two – it increased physical attack and had Life-Steal properties . This was taken by Moonlight . The other gem was a Shadow Damage gem for Magic professions . Sesame Rice Ball negotiated with Kitty Likes Meat and took it for himself .

The equipment was actually decent . The first Epic equipment was Gluth’s Missing Collar . It was an exquisite defensive necklace and would increase Azure Sea Breeze’s defense by one point overall .

In fact, this could also be used in PVP, as its damage reduction effect was quite powerful .

Berserkers dealt more damage when they were on lower HP . If a Berserker had this necklace, they would be able to deal high damage for a longer period of time, which had the potential to turn matches around .
