Chapter 598: Raider Boss
Nezhha's work soon got on the right track, and his presence was too important in a small village like "Mamelo" with no NPC blacksmiths, he helped these players on the front lines of the strategy, saving the time of running back and forth from "Urubas", and his better skills and affordable price made everyone happy with his service.
And Ling Ze and them, naturally, started a boring leveling journey, and the monsters near "Mamelo" are still dominated by "cows", how should this second layer be described? It is best to describe it as "the paradise of cows", because the vast majority of monsters here are "cows".
For example, the map boss of the "Marmelo" stage is a cow, and in the large map outside the safe zone of the various layers of Aingrunte, each important node is equipped with elite monsters called "wild boss", which are considered the gatekeepers before advancing to the maze area, and they are all bosses with their own names.
There are bound to be cliffs, rapids, or other impassable areas around the habitat of this "Wild Boss", so if you don't defeat the "Wild Boss", there is no way to reach the Labyrinth Tower area.
In other words, this floating city looks like the various floors of a large disk, but in fact, each floor is also divided into several areas, and if you don't defeat the "wild boss", you can only stay in the area that is now open.
The second layer is divided into a wide northern area and a narrow southern area, with only two areas, that is, there is only one "wild boss" configured on this layer.
"Its name is the bull Bau, and it is a bull with a body of five meters high, four horns on its head, and extremely thick limbs, and a black fur body."
Veteran player Kirito introduced to everyone that their goal now is to attack the "ball-headed bull Bau".
"Ball-headed bulls? Why is the name so strange? What is the meaning? Does its head look like a ball? ”
Klein scratched his head, obviously puzzled by the name, which was a bit too abstract.
"emmm~ I think it should be the name of the combination of the bull and the bulbous bow elephant, as the name indicates, the attack method of this huge bull is to constantly carry out oppressive assault attacks with round protruding jaws, which is very simple and monotonous."
Kirito is actually not very sure of the meaning of "ball-headed bull", after all, he hasn't delved into this kind of small problem in the name, he will only remember the boss's attack pattern.
"Go ahead, try to get the drop of this monster, its difficulty should be much easier than the boss at the end of the level, and our team should be able to brush it alone."
This "ball-headed bull", as a node BOSS, will also not be refreshed, otherwise this road will be the same whether it is open or not.
So now the "high players" are working very hard to open up the wasteland, in order to compete for this "wild BOSS".
Of course, Ling Ze's main competitors are the three big guilds, Diabel's "Knights of the Silver Hand", the "Ayngrunt Liberation Army" where Xinka, Liyelle, and the Tooth King are located, and the "Holy Dragon Alliance" that will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, of course, in addition, there are also some small teams, such as the "Knights of the Blood Alliance" and the like.
Of course, Ling Ze's "Wind Forest Volcano", in the eyes of most players, actually belongs to the same loose personal small guild as the "Blood Alliance Knights", which is not comparable to the "Three Great Guilds" that are now in the limelight.
Although they have just made a big splash in "Urubas", they have returned to the first layer to spread the news of the victory, calling on everyone to go to the second layer, calling on everyone to get out of the "safe zone", and the Diabel who worked hard to make the game of Raiders is not low in popularity among players.
And unlike the "Wind Forest Volcano", which is completely based on fate and cannot be found by ordinary people, the "Holy Dragon United", "Knights of the Silver Hand", and "Ayn Grant Liberation Army" all have special offices, and their organization is obviously more reassuring, and they are very formal at a glance.
Therefore, most of the players who were encouraged to get out of the "safe zone" were rounded up by these "three guilds", and the different styles of the three guilds are also very good to separate players with different ideas.
Most of the players of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" are selfish, acting more about their own gains and losses, and even do not hesitate to become "yellow players" in order to seek benefits, and their reputation is not very good.
The "Aingrunt Liberation Army" is a consistent militarized management, with less freedom but higher life support, which is actually the best arrangement for novice players to ensure life safety to the greatest extent.
And Diabel's "Knights of the Silver Hand", most of them are "first-line high play", and there are some strict requirements for the strength of the joiners, they always rush to the front line, and Ling Ze's main competitor of their "Wind Forest Volcano" is Diabel's "Knights of the Silver Hand".
Diabel moves very quickly, because he is a "closed beta player" himself, so he also knows how "Bull Bau" fights.
If he wanted to, he could actually pull the team directly to open the monster, but as the president of a grand guild, he obviously couldn't make such a hasty decision on the raider activity.
Therefore, although the "Knights of the Silver Hand" set off earlier, they arrived at the location of the "Ball Head Bull Bau" faster than Ling Ze, who had been delayed for some time because of the "physical arts" skills, Nezhha, and the Wind Demon Ninja Army.
However, they didn't immediately put it into action, and after trying to gather information about "Bull Bau", they chose to go back to rest.
It may be that the lessons learned in the first level of the boss room are too unforgettable, so Diabel has become very cautious now, and he will definitely not go up and start fighting the boss without being fully prepared.
And this gave Ling Ze a chance, in contrast, the nine-person team that completed the supply of "Mamelo" actually didn't take much effort to come here along the way, and they chose to defeat this boss without hesitation.
The place where the "Bull Bau" inhabits is an oval basin, about 200 meters long and about 50 meters short.
"Black brown fur, is it black hair Wagyu?
Klein had a big brain, and he didn't know how he came up with it.
At this time, the group was standing at the top of a small round table-shaped mountain range, and a circle of dwarf trees that grew to the edge formed an excellent shelter to look down on the basin below.
"This huge black haired Wagyu bull bull Bau, although his body is like a small mountain, is very bluffing, but he basically only carries out simple attacks such as rushing, turning back, and rushing again, so the easiest way to attack it is to continue to attract its attention by the tank, find a way to dodge its advance, and then output his hand to deal damage from the side."
Kirito ignored Klein's brain hole, although he also had the words "Kuroge Wagyu" in his words.
"I'll make a tank to attract his attention, and a few of you will take care of the output, so let's get rid of it quickly."
Ling Ze spoke, and then walked directly down the top of the mountain, sliding down the slope to the basin, which was surrounded by slopes, just enough to slide smoothly down the hill.
Seeing that Ling Ze had already gone down, Kirito, Asuna, and Klein hurriedly followed, and the sudden appearance of a group of nine people obviously attracted the attention of "Ball-headed Bull Bau", and in the face of the invaders, "Ball-headed Bull Bau" immediately began to prepare to attack, and it wanted to defend its territory.
"Scatter and stand away, and when that guy rushes over, you guys immediately go around to the side, and I'll pull it to hate."
Ling Ze opened his mouth to command, and his companions nodded in response.
"Puff moo!!"
"Ballhead Bull Bau" raised its four horns and let out a huge roar, Ling Ze and they stood so far away, they also felt the vibration of the air, the monster spewed out two white vapors from its nose, like the roar of an engine, the momentum before this attack was really enough to bluff.
The distance between Ling Ze and the boss was nearly two hundred meters, so it stands to reason that there should be sufficient reaction time.
But really on the battlefield, under the pressure of powerful momentum, "Ball Head Bull Bau" moved from the beginning to the approaching front, in fact, it was only a matter of a moment.
Ling Ze's reaction was quick, and he let out a "Woooooooooo This is not just a simple roar, but a derivative skill called "Intimidation", which can increase the monster's aggro value and make the monster target itself, which is a mandatory skill as a "tank".
Although Ling Ze is not a "tank", and he doesn't learn much skills, but this kind of skill that only uses his mouth, he is still willing to learn it, just like "physical art", this is like unlocking a new combat weapon, "intimidation" unlocks the mouth, and "physical art" unlocks the legs and feet.
And in the face of the giant bull rushing over, Kirito, Asuna, and Klein immediately dispersed, ready to output at any time.
The giant bull went on a rampage and crashed into Ling Ze, if the defense of the person who was hit was insufficient, he would be knocked into the sky if he was directly hit, and he would also suffer great damage.
However, the level of "Ball Head Bull Bau" is here, even if it is not Ling Ze, if Jerome is allowed to go up normally, at most he will be pushed out for a distance.
Ling Ze didn't resist hard, but directly flipped over and turned onto the back of the giant bull, and at this time, the giant bull's fierce brakes stiffened, and Kirito, Asuna, and Klein quickly blasted out their sword skills on the giant bull's exposed flanks.
"Moo!!"
"Ballhead Bull Bau" was in unbearable pain and let out a howl again, and after it got rid of the stiffness of the skill, Ling Ze, who had stabbed it several times in the back, flipped over again.
"Woo-oh-oh!"
Ling Ze started to intimidate again, and "Ball Head Bull Bau" also stupidly bumped into him again.
The rest of the matter was much simpler, after a few minutes of fighting, the body of "Ball-headed Bull Bau" turned into pieces and disappeared, and the dropped props came to Ling Ze's hand, because the final blow was delivered by him.
"Ha, there's really meat, but I don't know if it's delicious or not."
Ling Ze took a look at the harvest and couldn't help but smile.
All of the animal-type monsters of Aingrunte may burst out with ingredients such as "xx's meat" and "xx's eggs" if they are defeated, and they can be eaten as long as they are cooked.
As for the taste, it is more diverse than the NPC restaurants in the safe zone, which means that some are delicious, while others are difficult to swallow, full of all kinds of strange flavors, so that some players who are keen on cooking are tired of experimenting, and have made a lot of delicious dishes, and of course, they have also made a lot of "dark dishes".
The meat of the "Trembling Bull" on the second floor has been studied because it is a specialty beef, but the meat of the "Trembling Bull" is actually a garbage ingredient with a lot of beef tendon and a lot of bites, and only the meat of the occasional "cow" tastes good.
"Really?! Is it really Kuroge Wagyu beef meat?! ”
Kirito and Klein both widened their eyes, obviously very concerned about this, as if "Kuroge Wagyu" was such a precious thing, and it was not easy to eat it, only Asuna was unmoved.
"I didn't say if it was Kuroge Wagyu beef, but it was the meat of the ball-headed bull Bau, go back and cook and taste it."
Ling Ze handed over the meat of the "Ballhead Bull Bau" to Asuna, this girl was the only one who was interested in "cooking" skills, so naturally she had to deal with it.
"I didn't expect to eat black Wagyu beef in the game."
Klein wiped the non-existent saliva and said very unproductively, but the eldest brother of Kirito and the companions of the "Wind Forest Volcano" did not laugh at the second brother, and they all looked emotional.
Wagyu, as one of the most prestigious types of beef, has a total of four officially recognized Wagyu breeds, namely Kuroge Wagyu, Brown Wagyu, Hornless Wagyu, and Shorthorn Wagyu, and the most famous of the Wagyu is undoubtedly Kobe Wagyu, and Kobe Wagyu refers to the Tajima breed of Kuroge Wagyu in Kobe Hyogo Prefecture.
Of the four types of Wagyu, Kuroge Wagyu is the most prestigious, while among Kuroge Wagyu, Kobe Wagyu is the most famous.
And the price of fame is naturally the rise in prices, like Kirito, Klein, and other companions of the "Wind Forest Volcano", naturally there is no chance to eat often, and they may not even eat at all, so it is understandable that they will have this feeling.
And Asuna's indifference is even more understandable, after all, what kind of family background does Asuna have? Kobe Wagyu? Isn't that when you want? How can they be as ignorant as Kirito, this can only be said to be a class difference.
