Chapter 1106 - Ooofpa Loopa Weakness
"The Bone Spirit Demons have crossed the 100 metre mark!" One of the self-assigned Pandaren leaders shouted within the Pandaren Group Channel, informing everyone that they were going to engage in close combat with them soon.
"The Bone Spirit Sea Demons are already near the walls! We are proceeding to intercept them!" Another Pandaren leader reported in the Pandaren Group Channel as the sea creatures were more of a menace than their Northern counterparts mainly because of the cover of the sea.
Some of the Pandarens had already used the diving engines to engage with the Bone Spirit Sea Demons but according to the shared intel, less than ten survived the confrontation when they had sent forty of them out to see how many were hiding in the seas.
"The sea really is our Achilles heel." Xiong Da admitted in the Pandawans Group Channel and they all agreed that none of them had much knowledge on how to defeat creatures that were in the sea aside from waiting for them to come on shore.
"At the very least we have a lengthy beach shore. I have asked Tank Platoon Charlie Leader to assist with the efforts against the engagement. Unlike the Northern portion, we have to send out some Pandarens to fight against the Bone Spirit Sea Demons to slow them down." Bu Dong who was aiding the coordination said.
"So the Southern Walls are aiming most of their attacks at those Bone Spirit Demons that just come out of the shore?" Bin Yong questioned and Bu Dong nodded his head.
"The shoreline has already been riddled with artillery shells and machine gun bullets and the current group of Pandarens is aware not to go too close to the shoreline. It's the least they can do to injure and possibly kill any Bone Spirit Sea Demons coming ashore before the rest of the Pandarens engage them." Bu Dong replied.
"Good thinking there, Bu Dong, but if you've sent the stronger group to the shorelines, that also means that the Northern portion is now lacking in that many high-grade Pandarens to guard the area." Bin Yong scratched his head and wondered what they could do.
"We might have solved our immediate problem, but we still need to attack the Ooofpa Loopa. I'm afraid that until we defeat one of the two, their respective hordes will continue to swarm us. How is the research regarding that going on, Ruo Ying?" Xiong Da questioned as he could see his partner continuously scrolling her phone to research the monster.
"We are currently experiencing what those City Guards must have been through. Apparently, the death toll on their end had been because of the lack of proper defences. The only good advantage is that we have these automated defensive weapons at our disposal. " Ruo Ying stated that the Bone Spirit Demon Horde was as expected.
"But as you said if we are focusing solely on defence, it will just be a matter of time until we get defeated. It's impossible to find any articles related to their pattern of attack. The embargo of information has been well managed for this particular incident. It seems like the only solution will be to move out to hit the Ooofpa Loopa and learn of its weakness the hard way."
"However, we already know that conventional attacks don't seem to work, right? I mean the explosive shells were effective for a moment but then his hit points suddenly stopped reducing." Bin Yong chimed in and as they were discussing out in the open fields, a group of Pandarens suddenly came to interrupt them.
"Apologies, we understand that you are discussing your defences, but we might have some information that might help." The group leader of the three Pandarens said.
"Please, any information would help. How may I address you?" Xiong Da asked as he extended his hand to shake his.
"Zhang Min. And these are my friends Meng Ruo and Wei Yi. We are part of the Royal Snake Soldiers Battalion that fought directly against the Loopa Ooofpa." Zhang Min stated his work place to increase the credibility of his solution.
"Is it okay to reveal restricted information out in the open? Won't you get punished?" Ruo Ying questioned even though they knew that it was for the benefit of the entire raid instance.
"It's fine, we got the clearance from our General." Meng Ruo replied.
"Actually, he's the one who insisted that this particular information should be spread about that monster abomination we fought. Whether it will work or not for this particular dungeon instance, remains to be seen."
"Yeah, since Boss Jin had purposely inverted the abomination's name, it should be safe to assume he is not making his particular boss monster the same as the one we fought previously…according to our General at least." Wei Yi added.
"He even said it's high time for us to get our revenge against the Boss Monster for not having been able to do our part against it during the actual fight- Ow why did you hit me?" Meng Ruo looked at Zhang Min who stomped on his foot.
"There's no need to bring out the shameful past. We don't want people to spread rumours that the Royal Snake Battalion had been unable to do a single thing to aid with the fight." Zhang Min stared at Meng Ruo angrily.
"I am not getting involved. After telling the Pandawans what we need to say, I am getting out of here." Wei Yi said as he raised his hands, not wanting to speak out of tune.
"Hmm, yea. Sorry about that. Back to the topic, you should try using a different elemental attack against the boss each time you attack it. Based on the thundering noises in the background, you guys already tried artillery fire against it." Zhang Min questioned and the Pandawans nodded their heads.
"So yes. It should already be immune against the fire element. Using other elements to damage it should help. But remember, I suggest that you use one element at a time. Worst case scenario might make it immune to a plethora of elements and that could mean game over." Zhang Min stated and it suddenly clicked with Bu Dong and Bin Yong that they might have been doing it without noticing the solution right in their face.
