First Kill of an Elite Monster

It was a white savage bear covered in snow-white fur, its size comparable to a small truck!

Its body was nearly six meters long, with limbs as thick as buckets. Just one look filled it with destructive power!

The attributes of this white bear appeared before Cao Xing.

Snowfield Savage Bear: Level 15
Race: Beast
Tier: Tier 2 Elite Creature
Health: 4080/4080
Attack Power: 347~356
Attributes: Strength 189, Agility 154, Spirit 173, Constitution 204
Skills:
  Bear Paw Smash (The savage bear uses its strong and powerful forelimbs to attack enemies. For enemies with Strength lower than its own, it has a 100% chance to knock them back!)
  Savage Roar (The savage bear emits a terrifying sonic wave, causing enemies within thirty meters to enter a 3-second stunned state!)
  Lightning Strike (Condenses the lightning power within its body to strike the ground, dealing 130% lightning attribute damage to enemies within 20 meters, and causing all enemies to enter a 1-second paralysis state!)
Talents:
  Talent 1: Cold Resistance
  Talent 2: Body of Lightning (Can control weak lightning power.)
(Note: This is a savage bear that has activated special powers. It is extremely powerful, please proceed with caution!)

"Good heavens, a Level 15 Elite Creature!" Cao Xing was greatly shocked.

This guy's attributes alone were comparable to a Level 20 normal monster, and with those three skills, its actual combat power was even more terrifying!

At this moment, upon sensing Assam's aura, the savage bear roared and charged directly at him.

Rumble! Rumble!

As it ran, it sounded like cannonballs hitting the snow, with constant explosions!

Such power made Assam, who was waiting in place, a little nervous.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing began to quickly assess the attributes and distances between them in his mind.

"This guy's HP is too high. Without a headshot, Bullet would need at least five shots to take it down."

"And I'm still five hundred meters away from it. Given this savage bear's charging speed, it will take at least 10 seconds to get close."

"Bullet has a two-second attack interval. Including aiming time, 10 seconds is enough for me to launch five attacks!"

After reaching this conclusion, Cao Xing felt much more at ease.

He could take down this savage bear with Bullet before it got close.

The premise was that all five shots would hit.

However, given the savage bear's massive size, if Cao Xing still missed, he'd be too incompetent.

At the same time, the Frost Wolf beneath Assam tensed its limbs.

It was ready to fight the Snowland Savage Bear to the death.

"Roar!!!"

The savage bear's figure charged rapidly.

Just as it raised its paw, about to smash down.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out.

Blood instantly splattered from the Snowland Savage Bear's back.

-872

A terrifying damage number floated up!

"Roar!!!"

The savage bear cried out in pain, lost its balance in mid-air, and rolled more than ten meters on the ground.

"So powerful!"

Cao Xing looked at the large weapon in his hands with surprise.

When Bullet fired just now, the powerful recoil had hit his shoulder.

At this moment, a layer of Ice Armor and a layer of Scale Armor appeared simultaneously.

Cao Xing not only took no damage, but even the recoil was neutralized.

"Good, good, good! This way, I don't have to worry about the recoil hurting myself."

Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised.

"Woooooar!!"

At this moment, the savage bear quickly got up from the ground, its eyes red, searching for the culprit that had just attacked it.

Then, it immediately spotted Cao Xing in the distance.

The next moment, this Snowland Savage Bear began to charge fiercely towards Cao Xing.

Concurrently, Bullet's attack interval had also ended.

He lay on the ground, aimed at the savage bear's massive body, and fired directly!

"Bang!"

-1234!

A damage number in the four digits floated up!

Cao Xing's heart leaped with joy. This shot had actually triggered Bullet's armor-piercing special effect.

After two shots, the Savage Bear's health was already less than half.

Assam, who had just narrowly escaped, stared in shock at the two bloody holes on the Savage Bear.

"What terrifying power..."

"Winter and I combined couldn't withstand even one hit from the Lord..."

At the same time, the Savage Bear was less than three hundred meters away from Cao Xing.

After taking two consecutive hits, its killing intent had been completely ignited.

A ferocious aura washed over them.

Even Liu Muxue and Ilena subconsciously took two steps back.

Just then, Cao Xing's third bullet was loaded.

"Bang!"

Cao Xing fired without hesitation.

This shot dealt no damage, because Cao Xing had missed!

"Holy crap! I can miss a shot like that?"

"What kind of garbage marksmanship is this!"

Cao Xing's heart sank.

This meant he only had two shots left!

He glanced at the brown bear's health.

Health: 1974/4080

This meant Cao Xing had to hit with both remaining shots, and at least one of them had to deal armor-piercing damage!

Otherwise, if the Savage Bear was left with even a sliver of health and charged at Cao Xing.

With his frail body, one swipe from the Savage Bear would kill him.

Pressure suddenly mounted, and the atmosphere became tense.

Liu Muxue gripped her shield tightly by his side, her expression solemn. She seemed to understand the dire situation.

At this moment, Liu Muxue moved to Cao Xing's side, ready to block any attack for him.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing's eyes remained cold as he continued reloading.

He knew that at times like these, staying calm was paramount.

When the Savage Bear was within 200 meters, the fourth bullet was loaded.

Cao Xing aimed at the Savage Bear's massive body and thought, "Master Technician Han, please bless me, don't miss again!"

Someone named Han: "Why is a mage like you praying to a mechanic like me???"

Then, he fired.

"Bang!"

-893

It didn't deal armor-piercing damage, but Cao Xing didn't feel discouraged.

The Snowland Savage Bear seemed to sense that this final stretch was the key to victory!

"Roar! Roar!"

Its running speed increased again.

100 meters!

50 meters!

At this moment, faint currents of electricity began to arc between the Savage Bear's limbs. It intended to unleash its area-of-effect skill and blast Cao Xing to death!

Just then, Cao Xing's fifth bullet was loaded!

He took a deep breath. As he aimed at the Savage Bear's body, he slightly raised his crosshairs.

Then, he decisively fired!

"Bang!"

-1574!

Headshot!

A terrifying damage number appeared.

A blood hole appeared through the center of the Snowland Savage Bear's forehead.

Its massive body stopped abruptly, and like a crashed truck, it plummeted onto the snow before them.

"Crash!"

After dragging across the snow for over ten meters, the Savage Bear's body finally came to a complete halt.

Then, it lay on the ground, completely lifeless.

A system prompt appeared.

This level-up granted: Strength +3, Agility +4, Spirit +6, Constitution +4.

At the same time, a white light enveloped Cao Xing.

Joy flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

"I leveled up! And by two levels at once!"

The surprise wasn't over yet, as the system prompts continued.

Seeing this pile of prompts, the joy in Cao Xing's eyes was almost uncontrollable.

"Whoa... I'm so rich this time!"

"Heart of Strength, Icefield Druid Recruitment Scroll, Elemental Arrow Tower Blueprint, this is insane!"

At this moment, Ilena and Assam both arrived beside Cao Xing.

They both stared at the corpse of the Snowland Savage Bear on the ground, murmuring.

"What a terrifying weapon..."
