Ballista VS Zombie
The ten minutes of weakness after the resurrection was over. Raging Sea of Blood returned to the deck of the sunken ship wielding his brand new War Blade.
Facing the Zombies, Raging Sea of Blood laughed out loud. -12 in one attack! The Damage caused was more than sufficient to kill it!
"Die!" A Zombie fell to the ground from another attack. Indeed, the Zombie was not able to retaliate before it died!
This 1 point increase in Attack Speed really did make a difference! He could finally face the Boss without losing any HP. He could finally kill the Boss! Raging Sea of Blood laughed as he slashed his way through the cabin.
He was determined to defeat the Zombie Boss this time!
Raging Sea of Blood returned to the Boss room, full of curses.
With absolute strength, curses only made the difference of one strike. He had enough! Why did he have to put up with this when he played the game?! The more depressed he was, the happier he would be when he finally defeated it! As for the summoned Zombies, ignore them!
The blade shimmered! Raging Sea of Blood vented his resentment and pleasure!
"-6"!!!
Good start! Raging Sea of Blood laughed madly! This Damage was different, indeed! I shall see how much HP you are able to restore, how many times will you be able to restore?
Bang! -2! One Zombie's attack was blocked by Raging Sea of Blood's shield. Green liquid splattered!
—System Message: You have been hit with the Plague Zombie's Special Skill, Plague Attack. Attack -1, Defense -1. If you continue to get attacked by Plague Zombies, your Defense will drop to 0. Effect remains until the end of this battle.
Raging Sea of Blood was stunned! It was the highest form of the Zombies, Plague Zombies! Did the summons suddenly get upgraded?
—Plague Zombie: Attack: 2, Defense: 2, Damage: 2-3, Health: 17, Attack Speed: Very slow 6, Movement Speed: 4, EXP: 16, Command Value: 1. Special Skill: Mid-level Defense Skills, Plague Attack.
At this moment, Raging Sea of Blood realized that the Boss in the dark was no longer a Wraith. It was an unknown Undead creature! Although its appearance was similar to the Spirit, the death energy was much stronger!
The sudden change stunned Raging Sea of Blood!
What was this? There was no such introduction on this form of Spirit in the official information! The upgraded form of Boss? He was already downgraded when he died. Why was the Boss upgraded? Could it be that the Boss' level did not sync with the player's level, but instead leveled up every time one fought with it? Even if it was upgraded, it should have become an Evil Spirit! Were his earlier actions considered a battle, and caused it to upgrade itself?
In his shock, a white light suddenly emitted from the unknown Boss and a big +3 appeared above its head! Self-healing!
Bang! Another Plague Zombie joined the siege. Among the splattering of the green liquid, Raging Sea of Blood lost another 2 HP, as well as 1 point each of his Attack and Defense! He had already lost 4 points of Defense from the curse. The Zombie took away another 2 points of Defense. The advantage he had from his high Defense was almost gone!
"I'm going all out!" Raging Sea of Blood was furious. He slashed the Boss frantically!
-6! Miss! +4! -5! Miss! +3! -4!
Raging Sea of Blood's attack was getting weaker and weaker, and his HP was decreasing. When he lost 3 HP to a Plague Zombie's attack, his HP was almost all gone, and the Boss still had 6-7 HP! Raging Sea of Blood finally realized that he must have missed doing some things!
Retreat! Raging Sea of Blood escaped back to the island, enraged!
He failed again! Raging Sea of Blood had a strong urge to smash the machine! But as he raised his fist, he felt weak from hunger!
Dinner time had passed. A few days spent in the game made one forgot the existence of real-time. Raging Sea of Blood took off his helmet and shook his head. He decided to have dinner. After all, it was not possible for the trial of the Godly Hero to be easy.
Raging Sea of Blood called a random food delivery number. "Is this Jinhao Hotel? I want a medium Texas beef steak, and after 12 tonight, send a medium-well Texas beef steak."
"Yes, Sir! Would you like any wine to go with it?"
"No."
"Sure, Sir."
Raging Sea of Blood was going to stay up all night. Of course he could not drink. His love for steak was often teased by others in the same line.
Damn, so what? I'm a carnivore, not a herbivore!
Raging Sea of Blood opened the windows to enjoy the city's brilliant night view while letting the cold evening wind clear his head.
This Boss upgraded with every fight?
He had heard that some players in the United States encountered similar incidents, but those were in a dungeon. Once they failed to challenge it, the difficulty of the dungeon would increase. Hence, they must succeed. After five or six failed attempts, the player finally found a way to get through the dungeon. At that time, it had become extremely difficult to get through. The reward he received was also far beyond expectations.
It was likely he was experiencing the same thing with this Boss. The next step was to continue leveling without alarming the Boss. From the way the Skeletons became zombies when he fought the Boss the second time, it should be okay as long as he didn't enter the cabin.
He decided to kill the Plague Zombies on the deck to get to Level 10 and max his Attack Skills. Although the Plague Zombie's Special Skill was quite disgusting, it was no different from ordinary Zombies. He was able to kill them in two strikes without being attacked by them. The EXP he got was rather substantial as well.
However, what if he had guessed wrong and the situation was not as such? What if he could not defeat it even after he reached Level 10?
Raging Sea of Blood frowned. Then, he suddenly remembered the person named Da Fei who was sent here by the System together with him! Was it the intention of the system to have two people team up to pass the stage? He almost managed to clear it himself every time. If he had some help, they would have cleared it long ago, right?
Damn! F**k team! He dared steal my loot, once he comes online, I'm going to chop him to pieces!
If there was no other way, he would get his brothers to help. He wondered how Shaodong was doing. Shaodong was intelligent and often worked through the night. It was a pity such talent could not be applied to gaming.
Raging Sea of Blood gave Shaodong a call. "Shaodong, how are your preparations getting along?"
Laughter could be heard over the phone. "I'm bidding on the Internet with Brother Tian and Xiao Ma! We'll create our accounts together tomorrow!"
Raging Sea of Blood felt a wave of joy. "Are they good?
Shaodong smiled and said, "All of us left our jobs to start a business in-game. How can we not have godly accounts?"
Raging Sea of Blood broke into laughter. "F*ck jobs! There's not just work in the game, there's also a sea of opportunities!"
…
In the artillery cabin under the ship's deck, Da Fei carefully disassembled the first Ballista in the dark. After all, he was not sure if sounds would alert the Zombie at the door.
At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded from above him. Da Fei felt a sudden sense of relief! It was Raging Sea of Blood! He had come back to defeat the Boss after a break!
You can't defeat it! You can't defeat it!
In the middle of his curse, he again heard footsteps above him. Then, there was a "plop", like someone jumped into the water. Oh yeah! That meant he failed to defeat the Boss again? Wahahaha, cool!
Come to think of it, how could such a strange Boss be soloed? No matter what, one's level would have to be high enough. When you are almost done killing the Boss, I would then take a stab at him from behind!
Now, Da Fei's thoughts were well-connected and he was in a good mood.
—System Message: You successfully dismantled the Ballista and obtained a Broken Crossbow Arm!
—System Message: You successfully dismantled the Ballista and obtained a Deformed Trigger!
—System message: You successfully dismantled the Ballista and obtained a Damaged Base!
—System message: You successfully dismantled the Ballista and obtained a Crossbow in good condition!
Haha, he finally got a complete part! Carry on! After about ten minutes, all parts were disassembled!
—System message: You successfully dismantled a Ballista and gained +560 EXP!
Ah! He could gain experience dismantling Ballistas! It was quite a lot of experience at that! Da Fei was overjoyed! Yes, EXP must be given in this case! Even Lanxiang New Oriental Teaching Aids had sets like this. It would be unreasonable if a person learned to do something himself and did not get EXP for it! In fact, those players who chose to begin the game as Mechanical Starters became apprentices in the machine workshop because they wanted to gain EXP, right?
Haha. He continued!
One night in the game was almost over. Da Fei became more skilled and dexterous. When the eleventh ballista was successfully disassembled, a golden light flashed above Da Fei's head!
—System Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 7. You received 1 Strategic Attribute Point, 1 Skill Point, Health +2, Command Power +1.
—System Message: You have obtained all the undamaged parts needed to assemble the Ballista. You can now assemble a new Ballista!
Wahahaha! It was really double happiness! He started assembling!
The sky got brighter and the sun shone into the cabin through the gap of the artillery cabin door. The cabin gradually brightened up. Da Fei quickly assembled the Ballista.
—System message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are powerful enemies near you, please be alert!
Da Fei was shocked. Wasn't the Zombie Boss who was blocking the door the most powerful enemy around? That meant it could not see him at night but could see him in the day time? He thought he would be fine behind it. It seemed that there was no way to avoid battling this Boss.
He gave his all! Da Fei rushed to complete assembling the Ballista!
—System Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are powerful enemies near you and you are about to enter the alert range of the other party!
Da Fei's sweat was like rain! It was the moment of reckoning. He must not lose his calm! It was time to test if he was a professional!
—System message: Warning! You have been discovered by the enemy! Prepare for battle!
Clatter! With a crisp sound, the last part of the Ballista, the bowstring, was finally assembled!
—System Message: You have successfully assembled a Ballista and gained +1,000 EXP!
At this point, the Zombie Boss at the door had turned around. Da Fei, who was sitting on the base of the Ballista, kicked the trigger off and pulled the bowstring to load the first Ballista Arrow!
Release!!!
—Zing! The Ballista rumbled and the Ballista Arrow flew toward the cabin door in an arc of cold light!
—Boom! -13! It hit the Zombie Boss' chest!
—System Message: You have obtained incomplete information about the Swift Zombie!
F**k! He did not manage to knock back the Zombie! What was a Swift Zombie? He had never heard of it! He had no time to read the information! Da Fei kicked the trigger again and continued to reload!
The Zombie Boss arched and began to levitate! This was the same skill it used to kill Raging Sea of Blood the previous night!
In Da Fei's frightened eyes, the Boss drew a twenty-meter arc in the air of the cabin, then—Boom!!! It was like a meatball hitting a crossbow car! A big -58 was displayed following the tremendous blow to the Ballista!!!
—System Message: You have gained further information on the Swift Zombie!
F**k!!! That was the Damage caused by a Level 7 soldier! Looking at the horrifying zombie in front of his eyes, Da Fei was shocked and kicked into the trigger!
—Zing! Ballista arrows flew out!
Boom!!! -39! The Ballista arrows penetrated the Boss' chest and knocked it all the way back!
Da Fei's eyes narrowed in surprise! His Ballista should not have been able to cause such high damage!
