Ding Han, Your Sins Are Beyond Redemption! Just You Wait!
"Ruolin, get out of the way!"
I yelled, but it was too late. The Power Sword still cleaved down, splitting Ruolin's shield in two, and then struck her body, dealing over 10,000 damage!
"Holy crap... what's going on!?" Cai Cai exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, although everyone was unable to control their bodies, they were all conscious.
"It's all over, it...!"
While relentlessly shooting at Cai Cai's forehead, the fat man yelled, "Cai Cai, get out of the way! Are you just waiting to get your Headshot?!"
"Damn it, I want to dodge too, but I can't control it!"
"Bingzi, you idiot, stop poking my ass! Damn it, my reputation is ruined!"
"Kou Mei, go easy on me..."
"Cai Cai, what are you doing with that RPG?!"
The next second, with a loud "bang," Cai Cai slammed a close-range RPG into the wall behind Fatty. The powerful impact shattered the balcony railing and hurled us all from the second floor. Damage numbers flashed brightly in the air—
"7872!"
"5433!"
"6799!"
"8022!"
Cai Cai used a purple RPG with a firepower of up to 10,000, but by this time everyone's armor was already quite considerable, so the hits didn't hurt that much. To be honest, this shot actually saved us from a difficult situation, blasting us all out of the Crimson Queen's "birthing room"!
And just as the distance between him and the Crimson Queen increased to 10 meters, the feeling of being controlled suddenly disappeared!
"Holy crap..."
I turned to Zhang Ruolin and asked, "Ruolin, how are you?"
"Not bad, the shield is broken!"
"Let's go back and fix it!"
I immediately switched to my Explosive Gun, flipped over the wall, and said, "Retreat! We can't fight this Crimson Queen like this, or we won't be so lucky next time!!"
"Indeed, let's go!"
With everyone in complete agreement, they rushed up the wall and sped off towards the abandoned warehouse.
Has the Crimson Queen caught up yet?
The fat man turned around, looked in the direction of the hospital, and asked with lingering fear.
"It seems not..."
Cai Cai frowned and said, "Did you see that just now? The Crimson Queen's entire body is embedded in a hardened nest similar to a clam shell. That nest is probably made of the same material as the Hardened Web, and it's extremely sturdy. Following this trend, the Crimson Queen's purpose is very clear: she wants to turn the entire base into her nest, and then continuously lay eggs here. After those parasitic eggs grow up, they will reproduce infinitely, eventually ruling the human world and wiping us all out..."
"Damn it."
Bingzi, sweating, said, "That sounds fucking scary."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense."
I looked into the distance and analyzed, "Based on the information we've gathered so far, firstly, the Crimson Queen shouldn't be a stationary unit; otherwise, given her temperament, she would definitely chase us down and kill us all. Secondly, the Crimson Queen's main methods are controlling other alien species and laying eggs. In addition, she can use Hardened Web to reinforce her nest, so she's quite troublesome!"
"What should we do then?" Kou Mei asked, "Can we still fight?"
"It's not necessarily unwinnable; we can give it a try."
Just then, a series of dense roars came from below. A large group of Tier 3 and Tier 2 Aberration kept attacking the outer wall of the abandoned warehouse. They had obviously received orders from the Crimson Queen to kill us completely!
"Withdraw!"
I made a snap decision, "Evacuate the base!"
"Ah?"
Zhang Ruolin's expression hardened. "Not playing anymore?"
"Just follow orders!"
"Oh!"
The group quickly left the warehouse and then withdrew from the base. Looking back, they were immediately terrified. They didn't know where so many alien creatures had come from, and they had almost filled the area within two kilometers of the hospital. At this time, the forces of the Crimson Dragon Legion and the players were being squeezed outwards, especially the Crimson Dragon Legion, which suffered heavy losses.
"There!"
I measured the distance and pointed to the distance.
It was an abandoned building that was almost entirely made of reinforced concrete. It had long been abandoned due to years of disrepair and stood alone outside the site.
"Ding Han, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Ruolin, carrying Submachine Gun, followed closely behind me as we climbed the stairs, completely bewildered.
"Go to the rooftop."
I said in a deep voice, "I've measured it. It's about 2,000 meters from here to the hospital. Besides, the angle on the rooftop is perfect for hitting the Crimson Queen. All seven of us can switch to sniper rifles and snipe her accurately from 2,000 meters away, piling up bullets to kill the Crimson Queen. I can't think of a better way."
"Holy crap..."
The fat man exclaimed with delight, "This is a great idea! I love it!"
He certainly likes it; it's probably the thing that Firepower Specialist players like the most.
Soon after, the group arrived at the fifth-floor rooftop of the abandoned building, lay prone in a row, and each took out their own sniper rifle. Obviously, my sniper rifle was the best, the only orange-tier one, with maximum firepower. With the added buff of level 10 Shooting Expert and my own 40% damage increase, this method was definitely the best choice to snipe the Crimson Queen!
"Aim and fire!"
OK!
The next moment, Winter AMR's scope was slightly raised, aimed at the Crimson Queen's head, and then five shots were fired in quick succession, dealing considerable damage.
4004!
"16884!"
"4003!"
"3987!"
"8422!"
All Headshot, interspersed with a 50% Headshot damage boost and critical hit damage effects, resulted in considerable overall output. Combined with the damage output from Cai Cai, Fatty, Ruolin, and others, the Crimson Queen in the scope roared furiously, her health bar plummeting!
Although she has high armor, high health, and fast health regeneration, based on our output, even without her healing effect, we can basically reduce her health by about 70,000 within ten seconds. According to this calculation, we can take down the Crimson Queen in about 23 minutes!
This is the First Kill the first Cyan BOSS, and its significance is self-evident!
On the abandoned building, bullets streaked into the hospital, while screams echoed from the hospital. The Crimson Queen, enraged, gave the order, and a large number of alien creatures burst out from underground, launching a fierce attack on the players and the Crimson Dragon Country's army from all directions. The entire base was in complete chaos!
"Drop!"
A message came from Gun Like a Dragon: "Ding Han, are you guys fighting the Crimson Queen?"
"That's right."
I smiled slightly, "We just entered the hospital and discovered that the Crimson Queen can control people's minds, triggering civil wars between players, which is quite terrifying. However, she also has a weakness, which is that she cannot move. So we found a shooting position and are trying to see if we can take down this Cyan BOSS by sniping from a distance!"
"Damn..." he murmured, somewhat speechless.
"Want a piece of the pie? Maybe get the First Kill on the Cyan BOSS or something?" I asked with a smile.
"May I?"
"Of course, the Crimson Queen isn't something we contracted out."
I immediately told the other side about the Crimson Queen's exposed firing angle range, and also had Gun Like a Dragon inform the guilds like Ember Domain Old Day Royal Court, so that everyone could share the spoils. However, since we had been fighting for nearly ten minutes, we would definitely get more spoils.
Soon, from our perspective, many players appeared in various buildings and began firing at the BOSS from the same angle.
"They're all here..."
Cai Cai laughed and said, "Tsk tsk, the First Kill of the Cyan BOSS is indeed attractive. But boss, won't this reduce our rewards?"
"It's not that bad."
I shook my head. "Have you guys read the details of the 2.1 update?"
"No..."
A group of people shook their heads confidently.
I rolled my eyes and said, "One of the details is about the First Kill of the BOSS. If the BOSS is killed by a large number of players, the top ten players in terms of output will be the main reward targets. The rest will basically only get 1 achievement point and 1 Charm Point as a reward. Of course, everyone gets the Cyan Treasure Chest, but the main rewards are concentrated on the top ten treasure chests. The rest will at most get some Experience Points or something."
"Quite reasonable, continue..."
The fat man grinned and continued shooting with undivided attention. After diligently leveling up and training, his level and skills had basically caught up with Cai Cai's, and even if there was a gap, it wouldn't be too big. At this point, he was determined to be among the top ten in terms of First Kill contribution, and was naturally full of enthusiasm.
The crackling sounds continued, and with the addition of other players, the time to defeat the BOSS was greatly shortened. In just 15 minutes, the Crimson Queen's health bar was already depleted.
Immediately, with the combined damage of my Headshot and critical hit, the Crimson Queen's head exploded, followed by her body shattering into pieces, resulting in a gruesome death.
A notification bell rang in my ear--
[Congratulations! You are about to trigger a system announcement. Would you like to publish your ID?]
Needless to say, we need to keep a low profile!
Hide!
The next moment, a bell rang out, echoing throughout the Star Abyss World among all players.
[Congratulations to the player team led by player "*Shadow" for successfully defeating the Crimson Queen (the Cyan BOSS), achieving the First Kill of the Cyan BOSS. Player "*Shadow" ranked first in contribution and received the following rewards: 8.5 million character experience, 5000 Reputation Value, 6 achievements, and 3 Charm Value, plus an additional reward: a Dimensional Expansion Crystal (expansion space: 2.5 cubic meters)!]
This is Star Abyss's first announcement, but seeing the word "*Shadow," I couldn't help but twitch my lips. Not bad, the ID is indeed hidden, but not completely.
And right now, a lot of players are probably laughing. The First Kill of the Cyan BOSS, and the final reward is just a Dimensional Expansion Crystal? How bad is that luck?!
I'm completely numb!
And you?
I looked at everyone and asked, "Did you get the cyan equipment?"
"No..."
Ruolin and Kou Mei both shook their heads.
After exchanging information, we found that the best reward went to Kou Mei, who received an orange-grade Mental Power equipment. The best reward we got was probably my 2.5 cubic meter Expansion Crystal.
"My luck has been so-so..."
Cai Cai's lips twitched slightly. "It's okay, there's still the cyan Ability Crystal treasure chest!"
"Yes, yes, open the treasure chest!"
The next moment, I took out my cyan Ability Crystal and opened it without hesitation. Immediately, two system bells rang in my ears.
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Forest Whisperer Armor] (Quality: Cyan)!]
[Congratulations! You are about to trigger a system announcement. Would you like to publish your ID?]
"Buzz~~~"
My mind went completely blank—a blue-tier item actually dropped?!
Moreover, this is destined to be the first piece of cyan equipment in the entire server, because an announcement was triggered!
Let's keep a low profile...
The next second, a bell rang throughout the entire server!
[Congratulations to player [*Shadow] for successfully obtaining the first piece of cyan quality equipment in the entire server! Additional rewards: Achievement +3, Charm Value +1!]
Within the Star Chart, a vibration occurred, originating from a newly added optimized feature: the bullet screen function!
The so-called "bullet screen" refers to the ability for players to send bullet screens within the local star map without deducting any Experience Points. However, bullet screens lack the precise target finding and direct notification functions of star map chat.
In short, the more it consumes, the stronger its function becomes; this is inevitable.
At this moment, the screen within the star map rapidly filled with comments—
Player Grandma's Legs: Holy crap, who is this big shot? The first and second announcements in the entire server are his...
Player Milk Tea Life-Extending Immortal: This is truly a low-key master, hahaha~~~
Player's Gun Like a Dragon: Ahem, Ding Han, isn't this a bit of a cover-up?
Worldly Uncontested: Hahaha, I'm going to die laughing at the comments today.
I was a bit speechless, but I didn't post any comments. Comments only stay on the screen for a few seconds. However, they leave a trace and could very well become an important source of information for private transactions in the future.
"Boss, blue armor... isn't that awesome?" Cai Cai suddenly asked.
"Let me take a look..."
Only then did I turn my gaze to the Dimensional Storage Space, where a suit of armor, gleaming with a deep cyan light, sat quietly in the corner, exuding an aura of majesty. My gaze lingered on it briefly, and detailed data began to float out—
[Forest Whisperer Armor] (Quality: Cyan)
Rank: Fifth Tier
Defense: 400
Strength: +50
Physical strength: +48
Spirit: +46
Specialty: Attack damage +14%
Blessing: Damage Reduction +4%
Blessing: Mighty Strength - II, increases attack power by 400 points.
Blessing: Rock-II, increases defense by 400 points.
Blessing: Resilience, increases your Max Health 4500 points.
Burst Skill: [Breath of the Forest Whisperer], awakens the life energy within the armor, restoring 5% of the user's health per second for 10 seconds, consumes 30 Essence Points, and has a 5-minute cooldown.
Strength required: 900
'Holy shit...'
Looking at the attributes of this cyan breastplate, I was dumbfounded. This is the first cyan equipment in the entire server, it must have some kind of luck bonus, right? Otherwise, how could it possibly combine damage increase, Damage Reduction, immense strength, rock-solid, and Burst Skill all at once? Five god-level attributes, the attributes are practically perfect!
"Can we take a look?" Ruolin asked with a smile.
"Stop looking, shall we?"
I suppressed my joy and said calmly, "I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable after seeing it."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Cai Cai said, "No matter how good the equipment our leader gets is, it's still good news for our team. I, Cai Cai, am definitely not the kind of person who holds grudges, so you can rest assured and post the equipment list."
"That's only circulating within our team. We'll only share the picture to avoid others getting jealous!"
"Absolutely!"
The next moment, I posted the stats of the Forest Whisperer Armor in the Team Channel, and immediately Cai Cai, Fatty, and the others started exclaiming "Holy crap~~ Holy crap~~~" nonstop.
"This armor is invincible..."
Huo Bingzhi Ri grinned and said, "Congratulations, boss! Your tankiness has definitely surpassed Sister Ruolin's now!"
"Ah?"
Zhang Ruolin looked suspicious. "Hasn't Ding Han always been more frank than me?"
"That's true..."
The fat man laughed and said, "Ding Han, what about the Armor of the Grey Knight you took off?"
"I'll give you the Armor of the Grey Knight once I reach level 50 and complete the Fifth Transfer Mission."
"Yay..."
"Damn it..."
Cai Cai picked her nose. "I'm really upset right now!"
"Hahahaha~~~"
The fat man, emboldened, put his arm around Cai Cai's shoulder and said, "When I also get a blue-tier item, the Armor of the Grey Knight will be yours, won't it?"
"Wait your sister for what...!"
Cai Cai was speechless.
I took another look at the attributes of the Forest Whisperer Armor. In the Star Abyss setting, cyan equipment is ranked S6, which is already considered mid-to-high-level equipment. Moreover, its attributes have been explosively improved, changing from two attributes to three attributes, adding strength, stamina, and spirit. As a result, if I could collect a full set of cyan equipment, the improvement in pure attributes would be quite significant!
Unfortunately, the Experience Points required to reach level 50 is just too much; even getting the First Kill reward isn't enough to level up!
However, the mission is not over yet. Currently, the aliens in the base are fleeing like madmen because of the death of the Crimson Queen, which is a golden opportunity to gain a lot of experience.
"Shall we go grind some more experience?" I suggested.
"Walk!"
Without hesitation, everyone quickly followed me out of the abandoned building and pushed straight in from the front.
About half an hour later, he entered the hospital with Gun Like a Dragon, Worldly Uncontested, and others. At this time, the hospital was filled with densely packed alien corpses, which had basically been cleared out.
"Boss!"
On the second floor, a familiar figure appeared—it was the big-eyed, adorable girl named "Zhixiao" from the Old Day Royal Court, a level 48 Psionicist. She was somewhat excited and asked, "There are quite a few still-active parasitic eggs inside the Crimson Queen's corpse. Each one we destroy gives us 1 million Experience Points. What should we do with them?"
"Holy crap, so many Experience Points?"
Gun Like a Dragon hastily raised his hand and said, "Zhixiao, tell your men to restrain themselves and not fire yet..."
As he spoke, he turned and walked over. "Ding Han, how many more points do you need to reach level 50?"
"Let me see..."
He glanced at the experience bar and said, "14 million left..."
"Alright."
"Gun Like a Dragon" looked at "Worldly Uncontested" and said, "Old Yu, we're both already level 50, we don't need any more experience. Let's give these parasitic eggs to Ding Han so he can reach level 50 sooner."
"Can!"
With Worldly Uncontested and easygoing smile, he said, "Ding Han, go."
"Thank you!"
Without hesitation, I went upstairs immediately. Sure enough, the Crimson Queen had laid a lot of orange parasitic eggs, about 50 or more. So I just started shooting, one shot at a time, and I got 1 million Experience Points for each one I destroyed.
After taking down 14, I immediately put away my gun and said, "I've leveled up to 50. The rest are yours."
OK!
After discussing it Gun Like a Dragon"Worldly Uncontested," decided to let the remaining 30+ parasitic eggs go to their respective guild's seed players.
"Whoosh!"
A golden ray of light fell, and I reached level 50. I felt a sense of satisfaction, and I could now activate the Fifth Transfer Mission at any time.
No rush. This is a dangerous area, and it's unwise to do missions here. It's better to wait until we return to Huaining City before activating the Fifth Transfer Mission.
Soon after, the players completely captured the base, and a bell rang, signaling the distribution of the mission rewards.
[Congratulations on completing the Region Task "Demon's Lair" (S-rank)! Rewards: Character Experience +6 million, Reputation Value +1850, Charm Value +1. Due to your outstanding performance in the quest, you also receive an additional reward: "Dimensional Expansion Crystal" (Expansion Space: 2.5 cubic meters)!]
Damn, are they really Expansion Crystal today?
I frowned. While I do need Expansion Crystal, I'd prefer to get them from blue or Purple Treasure Chest, as those are more cost-effective. High-level treasure chests and high-level quest rewards are better suited for equipment and skill books!
However, expanding the storage space by 5 cubic meters today is actually not bad, especially considering that we also obtained the Forest Whisperer Armor. This mission can be considered a complete success!
Let's go home.
Eager to return home, everyone pulled out their Off-road Motorcycle and sped back. Soon after, they stepped into the Teleportation Array and returned to the Player Black Market.
"Ding Han!"
After waiting a few minutes, Gun Like a Dragon, traded 800,000 for the Night Spear, and I didn't get much else this time. The dozen or so Blue Equipment I got sold were just enough to offset the bullet effect, so my personal savings netted an additional 800,000, bringing my total to 2,320,000 Star Coins. I'm getting closer and closer to the 3,500,000 Star Coins for the Maybach S680!
It's 2 PM now.
Zhang Ruolin suggested, "Let's grab a bite before we leave. The Jijiwa Wa hot pot we had at Feiyang Internet Cafe last time was delicious, shall we go and enjoy it again?"
"Okay, I'm fine with it!"
I immediately agreed. I also wanted to go to the internet cafe to check out the machines and fix any that were malfunctioning. I couldn't stop gaining Skill Experience.
"Let's go, let's eat!"
A group of people arrived at the dry pot restaurant in a great hurry, ordered a table full of delicious food, and then enjoyed their meal. After finishing, they all left, and I returned to the internet cafe.
"Ding Han?"
Zhao Yihang looked at me in surprise. "Didn't the boss say you took the day off today?"
"You finished quickly, so you came back early. Were there any malfunctioning machines?"
Yes, yes, yes, I've saved them all for you!
Four machines malfunctioned in total. Although they were all minor issues, the Skill Experience gained from repairing them was still substantial. I gradually figured out some of the settings in <Star Abyss>. As long as you don't do it intentionally, you'll get a lot of repair experience. However, if you break them yourself or assemble them, you'll get less Skill Experience. The main point is to prevent cheating.
After getting everything sorted out, I rested for a while in my network administrator's chair before getting up to complete my Fifth Transfer Mission.
But just at the door, she ran into Lu Xiaobei.
She held a piece of Preserved Vegetable and Meat Pie in her hand, crunching as she took bites. It was not only crispy but also smelled delicious.
"Lu Xiaobei!"
"Ah?"
She was taken aback. "What?"
"As the owner, instead of staying in the internet cafe, you're out gallivanting around. I'm confiscating this pancake!"
As she spoke, with a graceful "flying dragon soaring through the clouds" move, she transferred the dried plum and vegetable cake from Lu Xiaobei's hand to her own. The movement was so fast that Lu Xiaobei foolishly bit into empty air.
"Ding Han!"
She rushed out of the internet cafe and grabbed me. "Give me back my pancake! Where are you going?"
I lowered my voice and whispered in her ear, "I'm level 50, I'm going to do the Fifth Transfer Mission."
"Ah?"
Her eyes lit up. "Will you take me with you?"
"Dream!"
I ate the pancake as I sped away in the cold wind.
"Ding Han, you are utterly wicked! Just you wait!"
Lu Xiaobei angrily jumped up and down, cursing a couple of times, then went into the internet cafe to vent her anger on Zhao Yihang.
In the alley, after confirming the activation of the Fifth Transfer Mission, a bell rang in my ears.
[You have activated the quest "Lava Bug Nest" (Tier 5 Breakthrough Quest)! Quest objective: Enter the Lava Bug Nest and eliminate all the insects within 120 minutes. You will then be qualified to advance to Tier 5!]
The standard breakthrough missions primarily test the player's output efficiency.
The class breakthrough quests in <Star Abyss> will be somewhat difficult, but not too difficult. These breakthrough quests will definitely stump some players, but they certainly won't stump even a top -Combat Power tier player like me, so the problem shouldn't be too big.
He pulled out the Power Sword Storm Skill Tome from his storage space and began to learn it!
"Ding-dong!"
[System notification: You have not yet achieved the fifth tier of "Starry Sky Super Weapon - Sword Specialization" and cannot learn this skill!]
Really.
I couldn't help but feel disappointed, and the slight glimmer of hope in my heart vanished. Although the skill description for Power Sword Storm required level 50, it was actually a fifth-tier skill. So even if I reached level 50, I still couldn't learn it without completing the fifth job advancement.
So, the dream of using the powerful Power Sword Storm to farm bugs has been shattered.
"Call..."
Opening the map, the breakthrough mission Teleportation Gate had spawned about 10 kilometers away. After looking around to make sure no one was there, he took out his Off-road Motorcycle from his Dimensional Storage Space and sped out of the alley, heading straight for his destination!
Not long after, I rode my motorcycle into a mountain range in the suburbs. Looking up, I saw that it was one of the cemeteries in Huaining City. The mountain was not lush and green at the time, so I could see a large area of graves at a glance.
With the roar of the motorcycle engine, they went straight up the mountain, then put the motorcycle away and headed straight for a cemetery.
"Young man, what are you doing?!"
Just then, an elderly man wearing an armband waved from afar.
"..."
Standing in Teleportation Gate, I didn't say anything, but just grinned at the old man with a strange expression, and then stepped into the Teleportation Gate!
"Ah!!"
Outside, the old man screamed as if he had seen a ghost; he would probably remember this scene for the rest of his life!
"Whoosh~~~"
A flash of light appeared before my eyes, and I was instantly thrust into a scorching area. Opening my eyes, I found myself in a fiery lava field, surrounded by swarms of insects. In addition, a grayish instrument embedded in the wall suddenly projected a holographic image of a figure appearing in front of me.
He was a general clad in fourth-generation Power Armor, frowning as he looked at the insect hive. "These damned insects are relentlessly encroaching on our human territory! They're utterly despicable! Young warrior, if you can wipe out the entire swarm within the Lava Bug Nest within 120 minutes, I will bestow upon you the highest honor on behalf of the Republic Sword Martial Hall!"
I nodded. "Don't worry, I've got it covered!"
"Very well, go ahead! I'll be here waiting for your good news."
Inside the hood, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He then stepped back slightly and disappeared into the holographic light screen.
He turned and stepped deep into the Lava Bug Nest.
Within the irregular lava terrain, embryos containing first-tier Nest Bug were constantly wriggling, radiating fiery red energy. The insect swarm here was different from those outside, seemingly containing stronger fire-attribute life energy.
"Squeak squeak~~"
The next second, a swarm of Nest Bug attacked!
This is easy. Just take out the Explosive Gun and order the autoloading robot to replace all the magazines with AOE damage bombs. Then it started to wreak havoc. With the sound of gunfire, fan-shaped bomb kill zones spread out in the swarm of insects, wiping them out in large numbers. Apart from the high consumption, everything else was perfect.
About 20 minutes later, I had completely wiped out the large number of Nest Bug at the bottom. As I climbed up with my Explosive Gun, I heard a chilling "hehehe" sound.
It's a Tier 2 Zerg unit, the Hydralisk!
On the scorching slope, swarms of hydralisks roared wildly. They were all level 50 Blue BOSS, and they even started spitting out ground spikes to launch ranged attacks!
For the average player, this phase could be quite challenging, given that the Hydralisk has a health bar of 100,000, making attacks with firearms rather inefficient.
But I didn't have that concern. With Stardust Wall and Battle Roar activated, I switched my main weapon to Power Sword and charged straight into the scorpion monster horde. I swung my sword at their slender necks, killing them in the process. At the same time, the 24% life steal also brought out a dazzling array of green healing numbers!
"100,000!"
"+24000!"
"100,000!"
"+24000!"
"100,000!"
"+24000!"
This feeling is amazing!
Every time, after being focused down by Hydralisks and losing a small amount of health, the next attack will restore it to full health. So even without Stardust Wall or Annihilation Rock Armor, it can still maintain its health above 80%!
After all, my armor, health, and resistances are far superior to those of these Tier 2 Hydralisks!
After a frenzied hacking session lasting about ten minutes, an entire patch of hydralisks was reduced to corpses, emitting a strong, strange, bloody stench.
Continuing forward, two colossal creatures snaked and intertwined, their bodies constantly emitting purple lightning—they were actually two Tier 3 Thunder Snake, level 50 Purple BOSS S!
"Hiss~~~"
Thunder Snake was ruthless; without saying a word, they split into two groups and attacked!
I didn't hold back either. I lowered my body and activated Stardust Wall, Tian Gong Kai Wu, Battle Roar, and Overpowering Momentum. Then, I used an Explosive Charge to stun one of the hydras. I swung my Power Sword and unleashed a series of attacks with a series of "thud thud thud," almost exhausting my Essence Points in one go and causing a massive amount of damage of over 300,000!
"Hiss--"
The attacked Thunder Snake screamed in agony, its seven-inch mark covered in countless sword wounds. Even though its body was quite robust, the nearly 0.8-meter cut was still Severely Injured, causing it to bleed profusely and its health bar to drop rapidly!
He took out his UZI and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the wound!
Another Thunder Snake roared and suddenly attacked from the flank, its blood-red maw opening wide to bite. However, the Stardust Wall's skill mechanism has a "collision volume," so this Thunder Snake couldn't bite in at all. Its sharp teeth, gleaming with a cold light, clattered against the outside of the Stardust Wall, creating a lot of sparks, but couldn't cause any damage.
"Whoosh!"
With a single Rising Dragon Slash, I sent him flying. I immediately switched to my Explosive Gun and unleashed another burst at the low-health Thunder Snake, blasting away its last bit of health in the blink of an eye. With a mournful cry, it collapsed to the ground, surrounded by a pool of fiery red blood!
He turned around, drew his Power Sword, and eyed the second Thunder Snake menacingly!
"Hiss--"
It was actually a little timid, its vertical pupils showing hesitation, but reason ultimately couldn't overcome its wildness, and the next second it charged over, launching a biting and strangling attack!
Without a doubt, he wielded his Power Sword wildly, each strike aimed at the snake's vitals. He constantly dodged attacks while switching to his firearms for short-range damage, completely manipulating the Thunder Snake.
The Purple BOSS was ultimately too weak to defeat!
After a mournful cry, the second Thunder Snake also crashed to the ground, transforming into a large amount of white light that flew over.
Continue.
Carrying my Power Sword, I embarked on my journey once more. Ahead lay the edge of the Lava Bug Nest. Amidst a jagged expanse of fiery red lava, I saw a figure about three meters tall, hunched over, its tiny, beady eyes fixed intently on me. Two scythes, each two meters long, slowly opened, like a mantis preparing to fight!
Good heavens, finally we've seen a Tier 4 Zerg unit!
Blade Bug, Tier 4 Zerg, Level 50 Orange BOSS!
Although its attributes are limited by the space of the breakthrough mission and are far inferior to the Orange BOSS on large maps such as the wilderness, these attributes are still quite amazing. Players who are not strong enough really cannot take it down alone.
Hehehe~~~
The Blade Bug also called that. Suddenly, it pushed off with both legs, and its entire body turned into a blur as it attacked. Its scythe was as fast as lightning, and its attack was extremely fierce!
Wow, so fast!
My heart sank. Luckily, we haven't entered the 3.0 Insectoid Uprising patch yet. Otherwise, given the speed of the Blade Bug, many players would likely be caught off guard and killed if they launched a surprise attack. That's foreseeable!
"Boom!"
The moment the Stardust Wall opened, I leaped and tumbled in mid-air, almost perfectly dodging the opponent's attack. At the same time, my Power Sword slashed across, directly striking the Blade Bug used for a sneak attack!
"Snap!"
With a soft click, the scythe was severed in the middle, and green blood splattered everywhere. At the same time, a damage number of 800,000+ appeared above the head. The moment it made contact, it was Crippling Blow injured!
"Hehehe--"
Enraged, it turned and roared, its mouth agape, revealing a dozen barbed tongues that danced wildly, sending chills down one's spine!
Instead of retreating, I advanced, unleashing a combination of Tian Gong Kai Wu, Battle Roar, Overpowering Momentum, and Explosive Charge, instantly stunning the Blade Bug Worm in place. Then, a Cold Star Piercing Bone froze it in place!
"Thump thump thump~~~"
The moment the freeze was complete, it leaped into the air, stepping on the broken scythe, and stood on either side of the Blade Bug. With a series of "crackling" swings, it directly severed the remaining main scythe and the four "secondary" scythes, instantly dealing massive Crippling Blow!
Although the body of the Blade Bug appears huge, its size is actually due to its spiky fur, much like some Ragdoll cats that look fat but are actually quite thin, simply because they have a lot of fur.
Therefore, the slender limbs of the Blade Bug are easily severed by the Power Sword, resulting in Crippling Blow damage. It can be said that the fat guy has an absolute advantage when attacked by the Power Sword!
Hehehe~~~
The moment the Cold Star Piercing Bone, the Blade Bug roared, its severed forelimbs flailing wildly, and it opened its blood-red maw to tear me upwards, seemingly trying to rip me off from above.
However, I didn't give it a chance at all. I was incredibly agile and leaped down from its head with a "whoosh." The moment I rolled to the ground, my Power Sword swept across, and with two "crack~ crack~" sounds, I cleanly severed its two legs, which were used to support its body and were covered with sharp, fuzzy hairs!
"Call..."
I quickly retreated, looking at the fallen Blade Bug, and felt a slight sense of joy. It seemed that after many battles, my melee skills had truly begun to transform, and my moves were getting cooler and cooler!
