Volume III Chapter 51 In the Battle of Boshi
To Amaar's surprise, the seemingly powerful monster in front of her was not as powerful as she imagined. Although there were only forty-five ballistas left, each shot broke the tentacles that the monster had outstretched out. There are a few times when the monster tentacles hit the monster's body, and they were able to take away a small part of the monster's body, and even a few "eyes" have been lost.
However, this monster seems to have endless tentacles, and every time one is broken, a new tentacle immediately sticks out from the top, maintaining the number of ten tentacles. Fortunately, the power is far less powerful than the coercion it shows, although it has also reached a strength level close to the seventh level, but this level of strength can be resisted by only three or four ordinary soldiers, and several captains and deputy squad leaders and even everyone can entangle a tentacle. In fact, most of the soldiers have already begun to attack the monster's body, but the monster's body seems to have more than ten levels of defensive power, except for the seventeen main and deputy squad leaders and a few elite knights whose strength has reached level nine, the attacks of other soldiers can't cause any damage at all. Moreover, even those attacks that break through the monster's body defenses seem to deal extremely limited damage. The sword slashed through, breaking open the skin and causing a wound, and when the sword was drawn, the wound had already recovered to the point that it was almost impossible to distinguish, and only those attacks that used powerful skills were able to leave a wound for a long time. However, under the monster's amazing resilience, it will soon recover.
Emaar did not join the battle as soon as he found out that the monster was weaker than he imagined, but commanded the siege crossbow attack from the side, while carefully observing the monster.
Soon, Emaar discovered something that was not so advantageous to her.
The most important of these is the monster's body, which is Emaar's ultimate goal this time. After confirming that the monster could not be captured alive, Emaar could only choose to take as much of the monster's body as possible. But now that he had attacked him, it seemed to be very difficult. Whether it was the tentacles that were severed by the siege crossbows, or the flesh that was cut off by the team leaders with their skills, they all evaporated at a very fast speed, and even some smaller pieces disappeared into the air before falling to the ground. This is clearly contrary to the notion of biological matter that can maintain a very long-term activity in the message. This means that cutting off a part of the body from the monster at will will not be able to complete this task at all. Much to the distress of Amaar, the thief had casually cut off a part of the creature's body and brought it back. If the information is not wrong, then either it is not the monster that you encountered, or the creature essence of this monster has grown up and those biological essences have been absorbed into the core, and the outside is just a useless shell used to defend against enemies. The more Emaar thought about it, the more he felt that the second conjecture was more likely, and this conjecture explained very well why this tentacle monster with the terrifying coercion of more than thirteen creatures only had an attack power of about seven levels, and a defense power of only about ten levels. If it's just a shell, it's a good explanation. Emaar, who was firm in his thoughts, coincidentally discovered that when the siege crossbow attacked a certain part, it would be very strongly defended by monsters. The monster resembles an anemone with eyes on its body, but its body is a large cylinder, and the tentacles extending from the opening at the top are more like the tentacles of an octopus. When the siege crossbow is fired near the top third of the column, the tentacles will immediately abandon the attack and defend against the crossbow arrows, which can even be launched by two or even three tentacles together.
At the same time, Emaar also noticed that the monster's slightly transparent body seemed to be deeper in that position. That should be the heart of this monster. It should be the essence of the monster.
The situation where Emaar commanded the siege crossbow to attack that core position many times was watched by Shi Leiyin, who was secretly watching his doppelganger's first battle from the sidelines. "This commander is good, he actually discovered the core position of the clone, but his strength seems to be weaker. Shi Leiyin didn't expect that the position of his part of the body as a prize would be seen through, and it was obvious that this challenger seemed to be planning to defeat Boshi not according to the normal process to obtain the reward, but was going to steal the reward directly from Boshi.
Although he guessed Amaar's intentions, Shi Leiyin didn't plan to do anything to make up for it. Since the doppelganger has a flaw and has been discovered, it is understandable that the person who finds this flaw will take advantage of it as a reward. Moreover, in Shi Leiyin's opinion, if that commander moves more slowly, the clone will enter the second stage, and it will not be so easy to break the clone's body from the tentacles that have increased both strength and number to get rewards.
As Shi Leiyin expected, Emaar did not choose to attack in the first place after finding the essence position. Unbeknownst to him, Emaar, who was now only the lowest intensity attack of the clone, chose to make the monster consume more physical strength first, which seemed to be a more correct choice. If you deal with ordinary monsters, this choice will naturally not be a problem. Most of the threatened monsters will destroy the threat as quickly as possible, and even if they don't use those particularly powerful final means, they will use at least seventy percent of their abilities. And in this way, as long as a certain amount of physical strength is consumed, it is easy to be killed by a single blow, and if the life-saving means cannot be released, the human knife will die tragically. This is also where human ingenuity triumphs over monsters.
It's just that what Emaar encountered was not a monster, but a treasure chest monster created by Shi Leiyin, a playful guy. As a result of the drag, the tentacles of ground spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, destroying three of the five siege crossbows. The ten extra tentacles from the top made the soldiers scramble for a while, and a soldier who was unlucky was directly hit in the face by the sudden venom and screamed for a while before dying in pain.
To make Emaar even more frustrated, the monster's attacks became stronger. Although it has only increased from level seven to level eight. But for the soldiers, it was a lot of pressure. Ten new tentacles have been added, but only two siege crossbows remain. As a result, the soldiers were almost exclusively able to resist the attacks of the tentacles. Even those vice-captains had to take care of the safety of their subordinate soldiers and could not continue to attack monsters. As for the appearance of the ground thorn, it made all the soldiers dare not focus all their energy on fighting the tentacles above, and the strength has dropped another notch.
This situation is great bad news in Aimaar's eyes, but Shi Leiyin on the side is also depressed. The reason is that after the attack intensity is increased, without the siege crossbow and the attacks of those deputy captains, the damage received by the clone drops rapidly, and according to this situation, after a day of fighting, the clone will not enter the third stage of intensity. And at this intensity, although it was a little difficult for that commander to sneak attack to obtain the essence, it was not difficult to do. Even if the cooperation is good, it is not difficult to succeed in a sneak attack without losses.
