Chapter 9: The Deadly Sea Anemone King

One step, two steps, and he is within the opponent's attack range! Da Fei bent down and took a deep breath! Like a spring poised to launch!

Experience

Only then did Da Fei come to his senses! Why is he running? Isn't he here to collect intelligence and meet his demise? He immediately turned around, and was instantly taken aback!

Da Fei carefully observed the skull, and the more he looked, the more it resembled a fortress, with the eye sockets serving as shooting holes! ... In other words, if I were to hide inside this skull and strike from the eye sockets...! ... Exactly! This is the key! If I can't defeat it even like this, then I would have no chance in the open! However, if I can strike out from the eye socket, its tentacles should also be able to pierce in from outside the eye socket! Therefore, after I land a hit, I must dodge to the side; if its tentacles can curve, then I would be out of luck!

Attack

Dafei took a deep breath and once again leaned his head towards the eye socket of the skull, for this is the most critical and perilous aspect of the tactic

Thus, Da Fei ran far away again, killed more than twenty small sea anemones to gain some experience, and then ran back to see, hehe, sure enough, it had burrowed again! This is the moment I have been waiting for!

Da Fei cautiously advanced along the area marked by the red box on the small map. In fact, there was no need to look around; ahead on the receding tide beach lay the large, sunken bones of a sea creature, which had already betrayed its presence. After all, this was the only unique sight on the entire beach

In other words, this sea anemone king, being a plant monster, has an extremely low attack speed, relying entirely on its astonishingly swift special ability to launch tentacle attacks. And its attack speed is not just low; it is outrageously low, with a mere value of 1! This means that for every 10 attacks from the player, it only retaliates once! Therefore, after stabbing it for quite a while, I was on the verge of defeating it, yet it was unable to fight back!

With each shot that struck, the tentacle would suddenly convulse as if it were a worm cut in half, struggling in vain, completely lacking the force it had just moments before! Moreover, its limp struggles were utterly incapable of reaching Da Fei, who wielded the long spear; the advantages of the long weapon remained effective!

Tentacles! Dozens of thick and long sea anemone tentacles emerging from the sand! It turns out to be a sea anemone BOSS! It was precisely because the reconnaissance skill had issued an early warning that I was able to react quickly and narrowly escape disaster! The early warning function of the intermediate reconnaissance skill, along with the character's running state, has a chance to evade attacks.

This BOSS is still prepared for melee players

Demonized Venomous Sea Anemone King

Then we can only wait! This BOSS must have its reasons for drilling into the ground, after all, there are no puddles here, and it is likely not suited to being exposed to the air

System Alert: Warning! Reconnaissance has detected hidden enemies about to emerge

Harm

Special Skill: Ejection Attack

It is near! The enormous skull, as hollow as a small house, contains nothing. So, is it in the sand?

Its special skill is the launch attack! The Hell Clan elite second-level soldier, howling Horn Demon, is also known as the Jumping Demon by public test players for its ultimate move

Finally, after leaving a pool of green liquid, the mangled tentacle that had been pierced withdrew with a rustling sound from the eye socket

As Da Fei advanced step by step, drawing ever closer, he not only discerned the skeletal remains resembling a giant whale, but also noticed several wooden barrels scattered nearby, half-buried in the sand. Were these barrels dropped from the ship?

Eject Attack: The howling horned demon possesses an astonishing jumping ability that allows it to launch its own body as a projectile to the farthest corners of the battlefield, even into the city walls. The farther the ejection distance, the higher the damage upon landing. However, the high-speed movement also results in a decreased attack accuracy, and upon landing, the demon will be in a completely armor-broken weakened state, suffering double damage. Continuous use of the eject attack exacerbates the effects of armor break and weakness, leading to exponentially increased damage taken.

Wait! Archers are not allowed either! How could the system possibly assign archer players to this godforsaken deserted island? Once the arrows are used up, who are they supposed to buy more from? Go pick them up in the cabin? That cabin is so impenetrable that even that legendary hero couldn't break in after leveling up several times! How many levels can a novice archer's arrows even gain?

Bang! Missed! A thick, repulsive green tentacle, covered in suction cup-like protrusions and as robust as a thigh, shot out from the eye socket of the skull and struck heavily against the inner wall of the cranium! The entire whale bone trembled violently!

With a heart full of tension and excitement, Da Fei circled behind the skull of the giant whale, advancing while stabbing the sand ahead with his gun. The red box on Da Fei's mini-map flickered more frequently and intensely! The BOSS was right ahead!

A sharp call! The sand stings the face! A foul and rancid wind sweeps past the ears! Missed the target!

Dafei stealthily circled to the back of the skull, choosing the best angle. From this angle, the ribs of the giant whale could block the sweeping motion of the tentacles, which left almost no chance of evasion. However, there was still a possibility of dodging the tentacle strikes!

Damn! Da Fei was suddenly startled, and without thinking, he instinctively turned around and ran! All he heard was a loud whoosh behind him, as a thick and foul wind howled past his head! Mud and sand splashed everywhere! A large "Miss" floated above his head!

Item drop

With a thud, the tentacle fell to the ground like a dead snake after hitting the wall, and then it began to slowly crawl towards the hiding place of Da Fei.

In short, since I am here to face death, I feel no pressure! The longer I can hold out under its grasp, the greater the opportunity to gather detailed information!

I see! The launch attack itself has a low hit rate, and I am also moving with all my strength to evade, so let's try to take them down one by one!

Oh yes! Successful breakthrough!

The well-prepared Dafei was startled and quickly shrank back

System Alert: Warning! Reconnaissance has detected hidden enemies about to emerge

With a splash, Da Feifei plunged into the skull of the giant whale, anxiously and excitedly awaiting the arrival of the second wave of attacks. If this tentacle could turn, then there would be no chance for escape, and the only option would be to score points and leave.

After waiting for a while, the second wave of attack did not arrive. It seemed promising? Da Fei excitedly stood up slowly, cautiously leaning forward to take a quick glance out from the eye socket of the skull—whoosh! A shadow flashed before his eyes!

With this thought in mind, Dafei shifted his gaze to the obviously promising massive whale skull beside the tentacle

Da Fei suddenly realized! No wonder the damage of Brother 1 - 3 could actually deal 6 points of damage!

... ...

Obtain the information card! The brother has died without regrets!

Howling Horned Demon: Attack 3, Defense 2, Health 13, Damage 1 - 4, Attack Speed 8, Movement Speed 5, Special Abilities: Ricochet Attack, Enrage

If the death of this giant whale is related to this BOSS, just how powerful is this BOSS? It seems that it is likely unbeatable, but as long as we can gather information about the BOSS, that will suffice. The more powerful a creature is, the less known it is; even if the information collected is incomplete, simply making the world aware of its existence will yield immense prestige

Suddenly, mud and sand burst forth, splashing towards him, as a dark shadow shot out from the ground! In that instant, Da Fei's heart leapt to his throat!

In that instant, Da Fei was propelled out at the maximum speed of 10 meters per second, like a gunner!

There is a show! There is a show! Hahaha! Once he regained his composure, Da Fei hurriedly checked the information card

However, there is still a major problem. Right now, it is simply impossible for me to dive into the skull. Its tentacles are so long that I would definitely be hit! Just charge in and bump into it? No way! I wouldn't even dare to touch an ordinary small sea anemone as a fragile gunner, let alone let the BOSS hit me. How did the whale die?

Achieving success once may not be difficult, but the challenge lies in achieving continuous success over a dozen times! However, for Da Fei, a seasoned professional in the construction industry with a strong psychological resilience who has engaged in high-altitude renovations multiple times, ensuring safety in production once is not difficult, and maintaining safety in production over a dozen times is also not difficult

Gazing at the more than ten giant tentacles dancing in the sand, Da Fei shook his head helplessly in astonishment

Of course, this attack speed of 1 should refer to one tentacle being 1, but it has more than ten tentacles, so the issue of low attack speed does not exist. However, it is different now; currently, the brother is hiding in the skull, and it only has one tentacle that can attack in!

As a master, one must understand that BOSSes are meant to be defeated by players. A BOSS that seems impossible to defeat head-on must have alternative strategies for overcoming it. Effectively utilizing the terrain is an unbreakable strategy for conquering any game.

System prompt: You have obtained an incomplete information card for the Enchanted Venomous Sea Anemone King

Life

Biological type: large plants

There has never been an infallible tactic in the world; luck is always the most unpredictable element within a strategy. The stronger party strives to minimize the influence of luck, while the weaker party can only rely on luck as their sole support

Defense

The howling horned demons reside above the islands of the sea of hellish lava. Although they move slowly, they can traverse the scorching lava islands with a jumping ability comparable to that of flying soldiers, thus possessing a powerful launching attack capability that even other formidable demons dare not underestimate

The howling horned demon, classified as a secondary soldier, is one of the low-level monsters that instills the greatest fear in players on other missions. Naturally, the forces of the Hell tribe are a headache for players dealing with monsters. Its projectile attacks often inflict damage exceeding two to three times its own power, making it difficult to encounter without sustaining losses. Many high-level soldiers find it hard to escape its deadly grasp, earning it the reputation of being the most valuable cannon fodder suicide soldier

-6 ! -6 -6 -6 !

Such overwhelming power left Da Fei dumbfounded! This attack, not to mention annihilating a newcomer, would surely be more than enough to take down a knight, right? This is definitely not a monster that can be confronted head-on

But now there is no time to check the information card, nor is there time to consider why I dealt double the highest damage. Faced with the disgusting writhing tentacles, Da Fei was like a hysterical woman swatting at cockroaches, frantically stabbing at the tentacles while incoherently screaming: "Ah, zhazhazhazhazhazah---"

Ah, Zha! Da Fei thrusts a spear towards that writhing tentacle -6!

The BOSS truly lives up to its name! This tentacle is twice the length of my spear, there's no way to fight back! It's a pity that I was born a spearman; how great it would be if I had been born an archer! It seems I can only obediently step forward to meet my demise in order to obtain some intelligence.

Therefore, even if it is certain death, its value is not insignificant! This reconnaissance technique is not learned in vain, ha ha ha! The key question is, where is the BOSS hiding? Is it hiding inside the skull of the giant whale? Or is it concealed beneath the sand?

Da Fei took a deep breath and stepped forward with a tense and solemn demeanor

Movement speed: 0

Attack speed: 1, extremely slow

Wow! It really can turn! What a hassle, let's just go for it!

Advance warning, proactive movement, utilization of terrain, all objective conditions that can be achieved by a large aircraft have been met, the rest is left to fate If luck is not on our side? Hehe, that's simple, just die and come back to life, do not put too much pressure on yourself in the game
