Dafei advanced cautiously along the flashing red boxes on his minimap. Actually, he did not need to look around. The skeleton of a large sea beast that had sunk into the sand in front of the beach at low tide had already betrayed him! After all, this was the only scenery on the entire beach!
Dafei advanced step by step as he got closer. At that moment, not only did he see the whale skeleton clearly, but he also saw a few wooden barrels that had sunk into the sand near the skeleton. Did these barrels fall from the ship?
If the death of the giant whale was related to this boss, then how powerful was this boss? It seemed that he could not win, but it would be fine as long as he gathered information about the boss. The more powerful a creature that was unknown to others, even if the information he gathered was not complete, just letting the world know of its existence would be a huge gain of reputation!
Therefore, even if he was going to die, the value was not small! Learning this Detection skill was not in vain, hahaha! More importantly, where was the boss? Where was it hiding? Inside the giant whale's skull? Or was it hiding in the sand?
Dafei nervously and excitedly went behind the giant whale's skull. As he advanced, he used his spear to stab the sand in front of him. The red boxes on Dafei's minimap flashed even more intensely! The boss was right in front!
Close! There was nothing in the skull that was as big as a house. So, it was in the sand?
Dafei took a deep breath and took another nervous and solemn step forward.
— System prompt: Warning! Detection detected the imminent appearance of a hidden enemy!
F * ck! Dafei was shocked. Without thinking, he turned around and ran! He heard a bang behind him and a thick and smelly gust of wind whizzed past his head! The sand and sand splashed all over the ground! A big "missed" sign appeared above his head!
Only then did Dafei come back to his senses! Why was he running? Wasn't he here to die and gather information? He immediately turned around and was instantly stunned!
Tentacles! Dozens of thick and long sea anemone tentacles had drilled out of the sand! It turned out to be a sea anemone boss! It was precisely because of the early warning of the Detection skill and his quick reflexes that he narrowly escaped death! The Intermediate Detection skill's warning function and the character's running state had a chance to dodge attacks.
Looking at the dozens of giant tentacles dancing in the sand, Dafei shook his head helplessly in astonishment.
As expected of the Boss! This tentacle was twice as long as his spear, there was no way he could fight it! It's a pity that I was a spearman. If I was an archer, how good would that be! It seemed like he could only obediently accept his death and obtain a piece of information.
Wait a minute! Not even the archers! Why would the system send an Archer player to such a desolate island? Who could he buy more arrows from? Go to the cabin to pick it up? Even the God-tier hero couldn't kill his way into the cabin of the ship! How many levels could a novice Archer's arrows level up?
In other words, this Boss was prepared for melee players!
With this in mind, Dafei shifted his gaze to the huge whale skull beside the tentacle, which was obviously very interesting!
As an expert, one had to understand that Bosses were meant to be defeated by players. If a Boss seemed impossible to defeat directly, there must be another way to defeat it! Reasonable use of the terrain was an unbreakable method in any game!
Dafei carefully observed the skull. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like a bunker, and the eye socket was the shooting hole! In other words, if he hid in the skull and stabbed it from the eye socket … That's right! This was the trick! If he couldn't even defeat it like this, he wouldn't stand a chance at all in the open! However, if he could stab it from the eye socket, its tentacles should be able to stab in from outside the eye socket! Then if he succeeded in his attack, he would have to dodge to the side. If its tentacles could turn around, then he would have no chance!
In short, he was here to die anyway, so he didn't feel any pressure! The longer he could survive under its attack, the higher the chance of collecting detailed information!
However, there was still a big problem. Even if he wanted to drill into the skull, it was not possible. Its tentacles were so long, he would definitely be hit! Should he just push it and rush in? F * ck! Don't even think about it, I'm a fragile spearman. I don't even dare to touch a normal little sea anemone, how would I dare to let the Boss hit me? How did the whale die?
Then he could only wait! This Boss must have dug into the ground for a reason. After all, there were no puddles here, so it probably wasn't used to being exposed to the air?
So, Dafei ran into the distance and killed over 20 little sea anemones to gain some experience, then ran back to check. Hehe, it really went underground again! This was the moment I was waiting for!
Dafei tiptoed around to the back of the skull and chose the best angle. At this angle, the giant whale's erect ribs could block the sweeping tentacles. If it swept horizontally, there was almost no possibility of avoiding it. But if the tentacles stabbed at him, there was still a possibility of avoiding it!
One step, two steps, he was about to reach the opponent's attack range! Dafei bent down and took a deep breath! He was like a spring that was ready to be released!
— System prompt: Warning! Detection skill detected that a hidden enemy is about to appear!
Charge! In that instant, Dafei shot out at the maximum speed of a spearman at 10 meters per second!
Bang! The sand that broke out from the ground sputtered and a black shadow shot out from the ground! In that instant, Dafei's heart was in his throat!
There was no sure-win strategy in this world. Luck was always the most unpredictable factor in strategy! The stronger side tried to minimize the factor of luck, while the weaker side could only rely on luck!
Early warning, early movement, making use of the terrain, Dafei had done everything he could. The rest was up to fate! What if he was unlucky? Hehe, that was easy. He just had to die and start over. There was no need to feel too much pressure in the game!
— Hu! Flying sand hit the face! A strong wind with a fishy smell brushed past his ear! Missed!
Oh yeah! Successful breakthrough!
— Thump! Dafei flew into the giant whale's skull, waiting excitedly and nervously for the second wave of attacks! If this tentacle could turn, then he would have no chance at all and could only take the points and leave!
After waiting for a while, the second wave of attacks did not come. Seems like there's a chance? Dafei slowly stood up excitedly and carefully moved in front of the skull's eye socket to take a peek — Hu! A black shadow flashed in front of him!
Dafei, who was already prepared, quickly shrank back in fright.
— Bang! Missed! A disgusting green tentacle as thick as a thigh, covered in pimples and suckers, shot into the skull's eye socket and heavily smashed into the inner wall of the skull! The entire whale's skull shook violently!
Dafei was dumbfounded by such a powerful aura! This attack was more than enough to kill a Knight, let alone a newbie, right? This was definitely not a monster that could be faced head-on!
Thud! The tentacle fell to the ground like a dead snake after hitting the wall! Then, it began to slowly wriggle toward the place where Dafei was hiding.
Waaaah! It really can turn! Fight my ass, go all out!
"Ahzhaah ~ ~" Dafei stabbed at the wriggling tentacle. — -6!
— System Notification: You have obtained the incomplete Information Card of the Demonic Toxic Sea Anemone King!
Information Card obtained! I can die with no regrets now!
But now was not the time to check the Information Card, nor did he have the time to understand why he had dealt twice the maximum damage. Facing the disgusting tentacle wriggling toward him, Dafei was like a hysterical woman swatting at a cockroach, fiercely stabbing at the tentacle while screaming incoherently, "Ahzha zha zha zha —"
— — "-6! -6! -6! -6!"
Every time it was stabbed, the tentacle would suddenly tremble and jump, like a struggling earthworm that had been cut in half, completely losing the power of the previous attack! Moreover, its limp struggle was completely unable to reach Dafei who was holding a long spear. The special skill of a long weapon was still effective!
Finally, after leaving a green liquid on the ground, the tentacle that had been stabbed to a pulp retreated from the eye socket.
There's hope! There's hope! Wahahaha! After regaining his senses, Dafei hurriedly checked the Information Card.
— Demonic Toxic Sea Anemone King:
Creature Type: Large Plant
Attack:?
Defense:?
Damage:?
HP:?
Attack Speed: 1, very, very slow
Movement Speed: 0
Special Skill: Catapult Attack,?
Item Drop:?
Experience:?
。。。。。
Its special skill was Catapult Attack!!! The Hell Clan's Level 2 elite soldier, the Horned Howling, was also known as the ultimate skill of the Jumping Demon by the public beta players!
— Horned Howling: Attack 3, Defense 2, HP 13, Damage 1-4, Attack Speed 8, Movement Speed 5, Special Skill: Catapult Attack, Enrage.
The Horned Howling lived on the islands of the Infernal Lava Sea. Although they moved slowly, they could rely on the jumping ability comparable to flying soldiers to traverse the scorching lava island. Therefore, they had a catapult attack ability that no powerful demon dared to underestimate.
— Catapult Attack: The Horned Howling's amazing jumping ability could catapult its body like a cannonball to the farthest corner of the battlefield, even into the city walls. The further the distance of the catapult, the higher the damage when landing. But its own high-speed movement would also bring the flaw of reducing the attack accuracy. At the same time, after landing, its body would be in a state of complete armor piercing weakness, and it would receive double the damage. Using catapult attacks continuously, the more severe the armor piercing weakness effect, the more damage it would receive.
As a Level Two soldier, the Horned Howling was one of the low-level wild monsters that players were most afraid of. Of course, it was a headache for the Infernal Clan's troops to be wild monsters. Its catapult attacks could often deal two to three times its own damage, and it was very difficult to take damage when encountering it. Many high-level soldiers could not escape its vicious attacks, and it could be said to be the most valuable cannon fodder suicide soldier!
It was only then that Dafei was enlightened! No wonder I could actually deal 6 damage with 1-3 damage!
In other words, as a plant monster, the Sea Anemone King's attack speed was very low, and it relied on its catapult tentacles to attack at lightning speed. And how could its attack speed be low? It was so low that it could make one's hair stand on end, only 1! In other words, it would only attack once out of 10 times the player attacked! That was why after poking it for a long time, it had no way to fight back even when it looked like it was about to be pierced into mush!
Of course, this 1 attack speed should refer to one tentacle being 1, but it had more than ten tentacles, so the problem of low attack speed did not exist. But now it was different, now that I was hiding in the skull, it could only attack with one tentacle!
So that was it! The catapult attack itself did not have a high hit rate, and I was also moving with all my might to dodge, so I would try to break them one by one!
Dafei took a deep breath, and once again moved his head in front of the skull's eye socket. This was the most crucial and dangerous part of the strategy!
