Chapter 209: Well-Made Animal Trap
“This guy really… can’t be reached at crucial moments.”
At this time, the quiet swordsman in the corner spoke up, “Counterattack…?”
Brother Shiu then remembered him, “Recollection Brother? Just in time, our mission is over too. Let’s hand it in first.”
He nodded, “Mm, then let’s go.”
The items in this cave had basically all been harvested. Rare materials like Glass Flowers would take at least three or four days to respawn.
By the way, adventure group tasks can be completed with players outside the group, but the adventure group experience gained would be less. When the adventure group is scarce, taking on tasks and selling them to others is also a way to make money.
However, this would appear too ostentatious, inconsistent with the usual low-profile style of Lan Chen… for now, it was enough that only they knew of Dust Star’s existence.
…
Meanwhile, in Moonshadow City, Lan Chen was not in the mood to check any world announcements.
Because the battle on stage had already become symbolic.
After being bumped against the railing, Fenghua hurriedly leaped left, missing the attack.
Sorry, I can’t assist with your request.
Charge is a straight-line advance; if there are no obstacles to hide behind, then lateral evasion is the most likely way to dodge.
Of course, overly obvious intentions would be predicted by the enemy, and one could end up being hit hard.
The current situation was exactly like this; the Frostscale General, battle-hardened, saw through Fenghua’s intentions at a glance.
The next moment, a skeletal afterimage shot out.
Once the trajectory of the charge was clear, given his size, the left side could just brush Fenghua’s shoulder.
There wasn’t enough time… the distance that needed to be crossed was too much, and escaping the charge’s range was impossible.
If hit, even if not killed outright, being in a weakened state would not escape death.
Lan Chen’s mind raced, what to do, what to do? Should he strike?
It seemed there was little difference, just the number changed from 1 to 3.
In the end, Lan Chen chose to abandon this thought; at times like this, he could only choose to trust her.
The skill propelled Frostscale forward, and in an instant, he was within 1 meter of Fenghua.
Her face showed no hint of panic; instead, she revealed a proud expression, lightly stepping back, leaving the attack range.
Right, the earlier movement to the right was just a feigned tactic; she hadn’t exerted any force at all, lured the charge out, and then spun back immediately.
This was also a gamble, betting that this boss would predict.
Oh no!
-662
The skeleton general charged out ferociously, and after a thrust with her sword, Fenghua was stepping back, switching back to her bow while tossing an animal trap to the ground.
Oh no!
-780
It seemed that the bow’s quality was better than that of the slender sword, as the arrows dealt higher damage.
By the way, these arrows were poisoned, but the skeleton itself was immune to poison effects, so it couldn’t use poison damage to wear him down.
Oh no!
-1580
Another arrow flew out, delivering a critical hit.
The boss slowly turned around, “…you’ve angered… me.”
Unexpectedly, the ranger lady not only showed no fear but also put her hands on her face, running her thumb across her chin, sticking out her tongue and making a face, “Hahaha!”
“…this move undoubtedly ignited the undead flame within the skeleton.
The fire within its skull blazed fiercely, fueled by its owner’s fury, and the boss dashed forward with agile bones!
Snap!
-233
The animal trap accurately captured the skeleton’s foot, dealing a fixed damage of 233.
“…how to put it, this subtle damage.
Moreover, the control effect didn’t activate, this trap was just stuck on his foot.
Kick!
The boss stomped hard on the ground; the trap didn’t deform at all, firmly locked in place.
Kick! Kick! Kick!
No matter how he kicked or stomped, the wretched thing wouldn’t come off.
While he was mired in the animal trap, Fenghua had long since charged up, and the Meteor Arrow whistled as it shot off!
Shatter!
-2748
The charged Meteor Arrow had a strong penetration power, sending the skeleton general flying backward.
“What was that just now?” Mo Ran understood.
“It seems to be… an animal trap?” Lan Chen thought for a moment and said, “The quality is pretty good.”
“++, not just good, it could be worn as shoes!”
“…” These shoes might be a bit hard on the bones.
A small item allowed Fenghua to gain a lot of cooldown time; she repeatedly landed normal attacks and managed to chip away 2% of the boss’s health.
After the boss got back up, the animal trap’s effect also disappeared.
Raising his spear for an attack.
Suddenly, he stomped his foot, roar!
-233
Somehow, a second animal trap had latched onto his foot.
Additionally, during the moment of distraction, the Armor-Piercing Arrow exploded on his forehead.
-1057
A layer of purple Armor-Piercing debuff appeared.
Another arrow shot down.
-1349
This time, the normal attack’s damage had reached four digits.
The furious general was quite irritated by this animal trap; regardless of the trap, despite looking a bit unbalanced, his speed didn’t drop much.
After taking two more arrows, he was soon close to Fenghua, the spear trembling madly, seemingly throwing out several afterimages!
Is this… a combo!?
A divine skill that activates three simultaneous attacks!
Fenghua reacted more quickly, executing the charge the moment she approached, aiming for the diagonal corner!
At the same time, four misses flew out.
Goodness, is this an evolved version of a combo? If it hit, she would surely be killed.
Since she dodged, it was the perfect opportunity for damage; taking advantage of the Armor-Piercing buff still active, Fenghua strung her bow and knocked an arrow, dealing yet another 10,000 damage to the enemy.
95%
Muddled Chen unconsciously clenched his hands, fixated on the movements of the two on stage, thinking that if this trend continued… perhaps they could really bring this guy down!
…
After handing in the task and gaining experience from the boss, Brother Shiu’s level just hit 30, allowing him to use the Radiance of Cold Crystal set!
“Recollection Brother, we need to check out the version event; do you want to join?”
Even though it was a last-minute tank setup, his strength could definitely be considered first-rate; with such a swordsman along, everything would be much easier.
“Sure.” The forgotten recollection nodded.
“By the way, I wanted to ask earlier, your awareness and skills are really strong. Don’t you have any friends to level with?” Even as a solo player, it was impossible to reach this level alone; it wasn’t a hidden class or anything.
“They… the dungeon can have a max of 5 people, so I became the extra one.”
“Wow!” Jiangxia couldn’t help but laugh, “Your friends actually abandoned a highly promising expert!”
“Well, it’s not a big deal… Speaking of which, it seems like you’re also short on people?”
“You noticed that? There’s nothing I can do; that guy Achen always has some strange tasks.”
“The Achen you’re talking about, is it… Fengchen Yanhua?”
