Chapter.22 The Scarlet Battle I. The Opening Battle of Dragon's Sleep Valley

Under the effect of [Life Potion] and [Endurance Mixture], Xian Zimo barely returned to a relatively healthy combat state. However, the opposite side is a level 10 humanoid monster boss, even if the state is full, this battle may not be easy.

But since this boss has the keel that must be put together for S-class tasks, no matter how hard he bites, he has to bite the bullet.

Just when Xian Zimo just wanted to take the initiative, a message flashed in the prompt bar:

'The [Dragon Bone Block] absorbed the rich dragon breath in the valley and temporarily gained unexpected power. ’

Quickly flipped out the keel in the backpack and looked at it again, the item introduction was no longer the vague sentence "A mysterious bone block, it seems to be somewhat similar to the legendary dragon bone...... it has one more attribute:

[Dragon's Relic Power]: The holder's is increased by 20%, and this buff will increase with the strength of the dragon's relic.

"I'm obedient, I still have this attribute. It's a pity that it's a temporary attribute, if it's permanent, it will take effect if it's still in the backpack, and you'll already earn it by taking such a keel back. ”

Xian Zi muttered silently. But then his eyes fell on the dragon bone on the chest of the boss on the opposite side, does that guy's dragon bone also have such [dragon legacy power]? If there is, it will be troublesome.

After a moment of distraction, the figure of the boss in front of him disappeared out of thin air. However, there is nothing surprising about this way, after all, the identity of the boss is an assassin, and it makes sense to have a skill with a stealth effect.

"With such an early stealth skill, it shouldn't be too perverted, and it's almost the same to give a camouflage effect.。 Xian Zimo thought secretly.

Like other popular online games, the stealth skills of Emperor Century are divided into two categories: stealth and disguise. Stealth stealth cannot capture hidden units without special abilities, skills, or items. The camouflage class is relatively better, as long as it is close to a certain range, you can see through the camouflage.

As for the mysterious boss he faced at this time, as expected, he was indeed a stealth in disguise. The moment he approached to attack, Xian Zimo discovered his whereabouts.

A tumbling that had long been poised to dodge a heavy blow from the Assassin. Although there are flaws in the camouflage sneak attack, it is difficult to avoid the surprise attack if you don't have enough reaction and operation speed.

But the boss's attack was much more than that, his attack speed was amazingly fast, and after a blow missed, he launched a series of slashes at Xian Zimo one after another, and the rapid swing of the dagger first made a sound that cut through the air.

In this regard, Xian Zimo only blindly consumed endurance and avoided it by rolling. Even though he was equipped with the [Naked Heart Belt], he didn't think his small body could resist that set of combos at all.

After a finishing jump, the Assassin leader finally stopped his attack and gasped in place. Indeed, there is no such thing as an endless offensive.

At this time, it seemed that Xian Zimo had the best time to fight back, but he did not step forward, but looked at the assassin without moving. One is to wait for the stamina to recover, and the other is to see what other tricks the assassin has not used.

The boss stood in place for a while, hunched over for a while, and then disappeared from sight again. Sneak again.

Seeing this, Xian Zimo also breathed a sigh of relief: "If it's just these two tricks, it will be easy to do." ”

In the first round of the battle, he already remembered the rhythm. The cooldown time for the [Endurance Mixture] was also up, and he took a sip of the Endurance Mixture and looked at the location where the Assassin had disappeared. It's time to start fighting back.

Although it was only an empty meadow in front of him, according to the memory in his mind, he could roughly pre-read the location of the assassin boss at this time, as well as the location of his shot.

Even if it's a boss, it's just a bunch of programs in the game. As a result, his combat has a relatively fixed and rigid routine, which basically does not change much. To put it bluntly, it is intelligence.

This is the biggest difference between PVP and PVE.

-20

A red damage floated up with the swing of the heavy punch, which confirmed Xian Zimo's guess. This time, he didn't even wait for the boss to appear, he directly took the initiative to rush towards the moving position of the boss in the pre-reading, and threw a punch.

As a result, the assassin was stunned by such a punch and stealth in a disguised state, and took a few steps back and gasped sharply.

"Sneak interrupted and stiff time? Then he'll be miserable for you! ”

Xian Zimo hurriedly rushed forward and made up a few punches. During the stiff time, the boss can't fight back and dodge, so these punches are punches to the flesh.

-46 (Critical Hit, Poison)

-70 (Critical Hits, Critical Hits)

-45 (Critical Hit)

-92 (Critical Hit, Poison)

Finally, he continued to hit [Heavy Punch] before retreating to open up the distance. The damage of this set is sufficient, and it has taken away a quarter of the boss's health, and the effect of [Poison] has also been triggered.

"I really didn't expect it to go so well." Xian Zimo himself felt a little surprised, which was much easier than he expected. "It seems that my violence is still very effective."

The leader of the assassins, who had been beaten in vain, also angrily slammed his fist on the ground and stood up. This time, he simply gave up stealth, and directly brandished the dagger and began a rapid combo.

However, no matter how fast the attack is, in Xian Zimo's eyes, it is just a change in rhythm. The speed attribute gap between the two is still within the scope of what can be made up by the operation, as long as the rhythm of the dodge is correct and the stamina is sufficient, they can avoid the opponent's seemingly powerful combos.

Moreover, he had found a glaring break in the Assassins' offensive rhythm. That is, the moment before the assassin sends out the finishing jump split, he will be in a short time before the skill, and this time may be where the flaw lies.

Although in this game, he is not 100% sure, but Xian Zimo still decided to give it a try. Of course, it is not easy to make such an attempt, and it is necessary to seize the time that is almost a second.

After two dodges, the Assassin's combo finally reached the point of the final jump.

And what Xian Zimo was waiting for was this opportunity. At this time, he still has the continuous recovery effect of the stamina mixture, so the stamina is still quite abundant - stamina: 9/15. So, without hesitation, he sprinted forward and picked up a [heavy punch].

-122 (Critical Hits)

The battered leader of the Assassins staggered back a few steps again, stuck in a dead time.

"Sure enough."

Xian Zimo showed a relaxed smile, after finding the two flaws of the boss in succession, and then having his own super high strength attribute, he was already in control. However, what surprised him a little was the critical strike rate just now.

The crit, which is usually rare, has actually appeared twice in the few attacks just now. Is this the effect of the 20% increase in "luck"?

-47 (Critical Hit, Poison)

-45 (Critical Hit)

-45 (Critical Hit)

-49 (Hit Critical)

Although there was no critical hit this time, another round of damage, coupled with the continuous poison damage, had already ripped the boss's life to half. And, until now, the leader of the Assassins had not even touched the enemy's edges.

Perhaps because of this, he has an extra status mark of [Rampage] on his head.

Xian Zimo naturally didn't worry about this, in fact, he quite liked this state. After all, creatures that spawn [Rampage] or [Madness] will have an increased equipment drop rate.

"It's useless to go berserk, just adjust the rhythm."

He took a few steps back to himself, waiting for the Assassin leader's move.

Sure enough, the Assassin leader was once again on the stealth. This time, he was able to hide much faster than before. The pace has accelerated.

Acceleration is acceleration, but the overall movement track will never change. Once this is mastered, the point of stealth sneak attacks is almost non-existent.

'Strange, why hasn't it shown up yet?' Xian Zimo was just a little puzzled, and he felt a pain in his back.

-51 (Back Strike)

A terrifying damage floated up, and the full value of life was instantly reduced to 15 points. If it weren't for the [Red Heart Belt]'s Life Armor bonus, he would have been killed by this blow!

Compared with the injury, what made Xian Zimo feel more terrifying was the position where the other party appeared. That's the exact opposite of what he predicted! His pre-reading was a complete mistake! Instead of rigid trajectory movements, the boss has made the best adjustments!

This can only show one point - in this game, in addition to important NPCs such as functions and plots, even such bosses have high intelligence.

After recovering from the Assassin's sneak attack, Xian Zimo's vision began to turn gray due to his low health, and the Assassin had already gone into stealth again.

However, he wasn't going to take the life potion anymore, and it was impossible for the potion to pull back the health in a short period of time anyway. "Whew, such a setting...... That's a lot more interesting. "At a glance, the stamina has already recovered under the effect of the mixture, and that is enough.

Without pre-reading, it's all about rhythm, reaction and operation speed. Moreover, there is only one chance.

'1, 2, 3, here! ’

Silently counted here, Xian Zimo turned his head and saw that he had indeed captured the figure behind the side that was a little out of disguise.

Between the lightning and flint, the attacker jumps fiercely and swoops, and the defender rolls sideways to dodge.

In the end, the attacker was still a step slower, and even after the follow-up pursuits, it was impossible for him to succeed after missing the best opportunity. On the contrary, in the continuous pursuit, the other party has already caught his flaws.

-72

-70

-124 (Critical Hit, Critical Hit, Poison)

-98 (Critical Hit, Poison)

For the first time, Xian Zimo poured out all the skills on his body in one go, and the health of the assassin leader suddenly approached zero infinitely. In the end, the poisoning effect of the [Piercing Heart Belt] was like the last straw that crushed the camel's camel, causing it to fall completely.

'Kill the Mysterious Boss and gain 900 XP. ’

'Skip a kill and gain an additional 180 XP. ’

'Kill boss creatures for an additional 260 XP; 20 Fame (Tooth Corner Village)'

'[King's Nemesis] Gain Kill Accumulation, Current Kills: 2/10'

'Complete unexpected events and gain 300 XP; Obtain the Mystery Fragment. ’

As the leader of the assassins was knocked away by a punch, a yellowed fragment fell from his body, and it fluttered melodiously into Xian Zimo's hands.

Before Xian Zimo could read the introduction of this fragment of the page, the prompt of 'Today's healthy playtime has reached the upper limit' has already jumped out again. He quickly picked up the dragon bone from the assassin's body, as well as a dagger that had fallen out. Only then did he close his eyes and safely exit the game during the countdown.
