Chapter 69 Heritage War Boots (1/2)
The larger its body, the stronger the strength of the monster. That was a universally applicable fact.
Skeleton Kodo's body was as large as a behemoth, while its Strength Judgement must be extremely powerful. The only ones who could stand shoulder to shoulder with those wild undead were the undead creatures that were forcefully fused together using black magic.
Skeleton Kodo: Level 23 Boss, Health Points 120,000
Health Points up to 120,000, and the combat terrain was desert. Even if it was Lin Jie, it would be extremely difficult to battle the Boss one on one without using any special means.
Baili Changcheng looked at Skeleton Kodo and swallowed his saliva resolutely.
”ROAR—”
Skeleton Kodo gazed at the creatures in front of it, and its sharp cheekbones collided. Flinging its huge body, icy blasts of wind mixed with those ghastly and bloodcurdling, sharp bone claws blew towards Baili Changcheng violently!
Baili Changcheng held his fine sword firmly, and as he found the right timing, he raised his sword high up. Icicles jumped out from the tip of the sword, and like a meteor, they were pierced into the leg bones of Skeleton Kodo.
-19!
This damage was as inconspicuous as the light of a firefly.
The bones of the undead were the toughest! Baili Changcheng had also noticed this point!
Skeleton Kodo's attacks were more simple, being repetitive, but it was also more irascible. Seeing how Kodo swayed its repulsive head, which still had some rotting flesh towards him, licking him, Baili Changcheng's shrewd eyes flashed, and he actually rushed up towards the head!
Lin Jie silently watched from afar. Truth to be told, playing games also required talent. The biggest weakness of Skeleton Kodo was the fear of others getting close to it! Honestly, it was hard for anyone to imagine that point. In the face of such a huge undead, perhaps the first reaction of a normal person was to retreat.
”Wow, haha…” Baili Changcheng's excited laughter spread far away. He moved with one of his skills and elegantly dodged the huge blood-red mouth of Skeleton Kodo.
At that moment, he found out that on its big face, the flesh beside its eyes had already fallen out, leaving only a concave hole between its two bones. By utilizing the skill Sprint, he accurately landed on it. Then, he used his longsword with icy cold air, agilely stabbing it into the rotten eyeball of Skeleton Kodo! It was also thanks to this Skeleton Kodo that did not die thoroughly, there was still rotten flesh attached to its bones. If it was purely skeletons, there would be no such weakness.
-58!
-63!
…
Baili Changcheng's attack was very stable. Skeleton Kodo was twisting its body violently, trying to fling the little bug on its head down. Strong and sharp gales of wind ran wild, but they could only chip away a bit of Baili Changcheng's Health Points.
Baili Changcheng was like a gadfly that had eyed its target, tightly sticking into the Kodo's head.
As time passed, Baili Changcheng's movement became more and more skilled, taking advantage of Skeleton Kodo's weakness efficiently. The sound of the longsword piercing into its eye was stable and rhythmical. Soon, the Health Points of Skeleton Kodo were reduced to half! If that situation continued, he could even kill the Boss that was more than ten levels above him!
At that time, Skeleton Kodo finally got angry!
Even if the undead did not have a brain, after being humiliated continuously by a small fly, it could also fume in anger. Skeleton Kodo writhed its body more frantically, and it suddenly dug into the desert, burrowing under the sand like a sandworm.
Baili Changcheng was surprised and quickly jumped from the Kodo's head and stood on the desert.
”Damn it!” Baili Changcheng bent his body slightly, slowly turning his visual angle. He was on guard while looking at the shifting sand.
BOOM!
The sand surged up like enormous rough sea waves! Skeleton Kodo's body sprinted out like a whale, its sharp bones piercing towards the head of Baili Changcheng. As long as that strike met its target, he would undoubtedly be insta-killed.
”Ding—”
A sharp collision sound echoed. Baili Changcheng did not suffer any damages. Instead, he flew into the air with that attack, detaching from the sandy ground. His whole body was covered with a layer of ice, like an iceman!
Ice Armor: Elemental Swordsman's exclusive skill. You will be covered in a layer of ice, reducing 20% damage, lasting 5 seconds. Cooldown time is 20 minutes. When you specialize in ice element, activating Ice Armor will immunize attacks received within 1 second.
In the air!
Baili Changcheng quickly adjusted his body, finding the accurate angle, and he jumped gently, preparing to land on the head of the Skeleton Kodo again!
Skeleton Kodo could use Burrow only once!
At that moment, Baili Changcheng was horrified to find that his body could not move, and what immediately followed after was the Skeleton Kodo's raging attack, most likely his body was to be pierced through ruthlessly!
Lin Jie's pupils constricted, there was a Bandit!
Sure enough, there was a fluctuation in the emptiness, and a Bandit with dark yellow camouflage smeared all over his body appeared.
He was extremely difficult to notice in the yellow sand. The powerful crossbow he placed in his hand silently had an arrow, and on the tip of the arrow was still some light purple venom.
'The venom created by grinding the rare crop Ro Vines, the market price is at least 5 silver coins a bottle. It can only be applied 3 times, he's really willing to pay the cost!' Lin Jie was shocked.
This Bandit looked very ordinary, belonging to the type that was difficult to find when he was in a crowd. However, this kind of looks was exactly what a Bandit should have. A certain someone named Dead Fish Eye would easily leave a deep impression to people.
However, on his forehead, there were three scars that looked like forehead wrinkles. After beautification from the system, it was hard to notice.
This Bandit was called ”Scar”', and he was under Baili Xuanyuan's command. He was a very powerful Bandit that specialized in accepting tasks like assassinations, sneak attacks and so on. He would approach without casting a shadow and leave without leaving a trace. He was also extremely insidious when he took action.
The crossbow on his hand was a level 0 equipment, so its attack was exceptionally low. There was completely no damage when it hit Baili Changcheng. Moreover, Ro Vines' venom only had a short-term paralysis effect, there was no damage value at all. If one was not staring at the battle prompt bar the whole time, they would not even be able to realize that they had already been hit.
'Why did Scar attack Baili Changcheng?'
At that time, Baili Changcheng had not noticed this, because the bone spurs of Skeleton Kodo that were like inverted sharp spears stood on the ground. As long as he fell onto them, he would definitely die! This mission would also fail! Unfortunately, his body just couldn't move; otherwise, he would definitely be able to escape.
”Boom-”
At that moment, a figure broke through the swirling yellow sand, charging towards Baili Changcheng fiercely. He brutally shoved Baili Changcheng away, evading the deadly attack!
That person was naturally Lin Jie!
”Brother, it's you! Why are you here?” Baili Changcheng who just barely escaped death shouted in surprise.
Lin Jie's face was cold. ”We'll talk about it later, lend me a helping hand and kill this Bandit!”
”Bandit? F*ck! No wonder my body could not move for no reason! It turns out I have been poisoned. I was too high when abusing the Boss and I did not see the system prompt message.”
Before Scar came to assassinate, he was already prepared for everything. Dark yellow-colored sand camouflage matched with the Skill of Bandit. Even if he was very near, he still would not be detected.
Although Baili Changcheng's skills were not bad, he was still far from having the battle instincts that sank in through the years!
Lin Jie's eyes fixated at the yellow sand in front of him. It was said that Scar was of military origin in reality, and his Stealth Move skill was very strong. Usually, even if it was Lin Jie, finding him would also need to a great deal of effort.
However, now, with Skeleton Kodo, this plague, Scar had to dodge its attack. Even so, his Stealth Move was still ingenious, but Lin Jie had already speculated his hiding spot. With a swing of his longsword, Blade Aura was unleashed, and Scar's body appeared from the hit.
Hunter's Forward Charge!
