Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Deserter
There were no other players in the Beast Devastation Cave. Perhaps the Level 50 instance dungeon had already attracted the attention of all the players. Perhaps the cave was too remote. Perhaps the monsters around the cave were all Level 52 or above. Most of the players were currently Level 49, and their equipment wasn’t even Level 50 or above. It would be very dangerous to come here.

Even a Level 51 Xu You, For the sake of safety, He also put on his strongest equipment before entering the Beast Devouring Cave and arriving in front of the Corpse Devouring Beast. However, Xu You did not act rashly when facing the Corpse Devouring Beast. This Lord level monster was also not something he could endure forcefully. Normally, he could use the kite flying tactic to complete the mission, just like he did with the Terrestrial Bird that he wanted to kill in the previous mission.

However, the problem was that this was a cave. The paths in the cave were very winding and narrow. Furthermore, there were ordinary monsters on these paths. Xu You only found this carnivore in the deepest part of the cave after clearing the monster away.

If Xu You wanted to fly a kite, his speed would be limited and he would be disturbed by the monster. Therefore, flying a kite was very risky. However, if he did not fly a kite, he could only “carry” it. He used the battle techniques he had recently practiced to resist the attack of the Lord Monster. However, if he failed, he would die.

Don’t forget that Corpse Devourer is a Lord level monster, Normally, a five-man team would have to deal with it, Although the Lord monsters that Xu You wanted to kill on this mission were mostly close combat monsters, Using kite tactics was fine. Most of the skills of the monsters couldn’t be released, but if they were to forcefully carry it, the lords would be impolite. If they were hit successfully, they would definitely die immediately. Xu You clearly remembered that the Red-Necked Terrestrial Bird from the previous ring had lost more than 2,000 health in a single hit with an ordinary attack.

“It’s too stressful. How can I let a player do this perverted mission? If the reward doesn’t match the difficulty of completing the mission, I’ll lose a lot of money.” Xu You looked at the excrement-like monster in front of him and was filled with resentment.

From the appearance of the Corpse Devouring Beast, one could tell that this fellow was very difficult to deal with. A pile of excrement could be as tall as three meters tall. No matter how one looked at it, it felt that it was domineering. Furthermore, from the 4000 armor of the monster, one could tell that this fellow was very thick and hard. It belonged to the tank monster that Xu You hated the most.

Xu You only hesitated for a moment before deciding to use the kite tactic. The reason was very simple. His battle skill was not good enough. Just now, he had already proven it when he killed a demon dog.

Then Xu You began to reassemble the halo. The [Divine Speed Halo] and the [Frost Halo] had to be opened, but the [Weak Halo] still had no effect. Turn it off, while the [Vulnerable Halo] and the [Command Halo] needless to say, they had to be opened.

In order to ensure safety, the [Devout Aura] with armor and the [Spirit Monkey Aura] with passive dodging probability had to be activated. The [Detection Aura], an anti-concealment halo, had not been closed, and it would not be closed this time.

So the seven halos are settled, Of course, some of this could be changed according to the specific situation of the battle. After all, Xu You still had many powerful halos, such as the Rapid Aura and the Berserk Aura with physical critical strikes. However, the kite tactics did not need to attack the target all the time, so the two halos that had a strong effect on continuous output were temporarily not needed.

If anything unexpected happened to the Tidal Aura, the halo of a protracted battle would have to be activated if it wasn’t blue enough. The other halos would also depend on the situation. Therefore, Xu You had to think about the combination of halos before each battle. He felt very happy and troubled.

After deciding on the halo, Xu You turned around and emptied all the little monsters on the way into the cave. He planned to pull the Corpse Devouring Beast out of the cave. That would be good for kites. If he were to fly kites in the cave, it would be too difficult.

After clearing out the monster, Xu You was finally about to start the battle. The battle music had already started, and the battle atmosphere was already dense. It depended on whether the battle result was perfect or not!

Because this was only a water test, Xu You did not use the Gale Steps combination skill to dispel the monster. Instead, he released a “righteous judgment” from afar and ran outside the cave.

On the first attack, Xu You naturally had to pay attention to the number of damage. As expected, it was very low: “-1082.”

Although he didn’t have any critical strikes and the Judgement skill wasn’t Xu You’s strongest skill, with Xu You’s attack strength of more than 3,300 and the target’s [Vulnerable Aura] reduction in armor, he only managed to deal more than 1,000 damage. Xu You could clearly see the “hardness” of the piece of shit following behind his butt.

However, what was beneficial to Xu You was that the Corpse Devouring Beast’s movement speed was very slow! Under the influence of the Frost Aura, even if Xu You didn’t open the Divine Speed Aura, the Corpse Devouring Beast wouldn’t be able to catch up to Xu You. This way, the pressure on Xu You would be much less.

There were no monsters in the cave. Xu You smoothly brought the Corpse Devouring Beast out of the cave. Then, he circled around an open space near the entrance of the cave and flew kites. The circular route was the best.

The Corpse Devouring Beast ran slowly and didn’t release ranged skills, so it didn’t deal any damage to Xu You for the time being. However, Xu You didn’t dare to take it lightly. Normally, melee-type Lord-level monsters would have ranged skills, otherwise, they would definitely have advanced skills, just like land birds.

If it was a Boss level melee monster, they would definitely have ranged skills. Furthermore, it was very abnormal. Thinking back to a long time ago, the Stone Giant Carlos of Xu You’s five-man squad knew about it.

Therefore, the cautious Xu You didn’t use all of his strength. He temporarily didn’t use the [Gale Steps] that could be used to escape. He patiently waited for the Corpse Devouring Beast’s long-range skill to appear. If the Corpse Devouring Beast’s long-range skill wasn’t a threat, then he could use the Gale Steps combination skill to output it.

As a result, the Corpse Devouring Beast’s long-range skill was “spitting”. It spat out a ball of green liquid from its disgusting mouth. Xu You wanted to dodge, but could not dodge, so he was drenched all over. The effect was to slow down, including movement speed and attack speed. However, it only decreased by 10%. Xu You’s movement speed was still ahead, and the kite tactic could continue.

Fortunately, the damage of spitting was very low, only losing more than 300 HP in one attack, while the spitting of the Corpse Devouring Beast obviously had cooldown time and could not be used all the time.

After walking around with the Corpse Devouring Beast for a few more rounds, Xu You was finally sure that the Lord Monster’s long-range skill was not a threat, so he decisively used Gale Steps and planned to export it.

However, something surprising happened to Xu You. Xu You had just entered an invisible state when the Corpse Devouring Beast ran towards the cave. The HP that Xu You had grinded away with the Righteous Judgment was immediately restored to its full strength.

“Holy shit, what is this situation?” This was the first time Xu You had encountered such a situation. He was so shocked that he stopped in the Gale Steps state.

It was obvious that the Corpse Devouring Beast had left the battle. This was the only way for the monster to instantly recover its full blood. This made him a little confused. He was not very far from the Corpse Devouring Beast, nor did he pull the Corpse Devouring Beast away from the cave. If that was the case, it would be normal to leave the battle, but what was going on now?

Suddenly, Xu You remembered something about the design of a battle escape.

After losing all targets, the monster would also leave its combat state. Otherwise, the Thief’s “disappearance” would no longer be called a life-saving skill.

However, there was a buffer time. After the monster lost all its targets, it would take at least three to five seconds before it could leave the battle and return to its post, not immediately!

Many players maliciously speculated that this magical design was made by game companies to encourage players to snatch more wild bosses from each other.

Let’s imagine that if one side fights the Boss and the other side launches an attack within the next three to five seconds, allowing the Boss to have a new target, so that the Boss will not leave the battle and will not recover his full health, then this third party will not be able to reap the benefits of being a fisherman?

Of course, this was just speculation. Actually, three to five seconds was a very short period of time. How could a team fighting a wild boss not be on guard? At the very least, they had to ensure that there were no other players within a radius of a hundred meters, right? How could the “other side” take over the boss in such a short period of time?

Xu You also thought the same. Three seconds was really short, but he used this design to fly a kite to kill the monster. The reason for that was because the Gale Steps moved very fast. From entering stealth to launching an attack to destroying the stealth of the Gale Steps, it would not take more than three seconds. This way, the monster would soon have another target to attack, so it naturally wouldn’t be able to escape the combat state.

Previously, when Xu You used the Gale Steps to send out a kite, he had never experienced a situation where a monster escaped from battle. Therefore, he didn’t think of this problem at all. However, this time, it happened. Could it be that this Corpse Devouring Beast was special? Without a target attack, it would immediately escape from battle?

This was possible because some monsters were tank-type monsters. Once they didn’t have any hateful targets, they would use certain skills. However, because they didn’t have any other targets, their skills couldn’t be released, so they directly left the battle.

However, this was all Xu You’s guess. He needed to grope and prove before he could get the answer. Thus, Xu You, who was still in the Gale Steps state, rushed towards the Corpse Devouring Beast. He used the strongest combination skill of the Gale Steps and the Wave Two Stage Slash, knocking off a total of 10,125 HP of the Corpse Devouring Beast. The damage was not high in Xu You’s eyes. Then, Xu You began to fly a kite and waited for the Gale Steps to cool down.

The next time he used Gale Steps, the Corpse Devouring Beast would also leave the battle once more and return to full life. Xu You was finally certain that this monster could not lose its target, otherwise it would immediately become a deserter. In other words, his Gale Steps could no longer be used unless it wanted to escape.

“If that’s the case, I’ll have to take a risk.” Xu You looked helpless as he saw the pile of “excrement” moving towards the cave.
