Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 340
Chapter 340 Another Link
More than 10 minutes later, Xu You ran back to the place of death with an unbelievable speed in his soul state and resurrected himself. There was nothing he could do about it. He heard the prompt that he had lost his dragon fangs when he died. This was equivalent to taking his life. He had no choice but to run fast. If someone picked him up, it would be tragic.
Fortunately, the mountain peak where the Thunder Snake was was really hidden. No one would come, so Dragon Fang was still there. Just like that, Xu You was very lucky to retrieve the Dragon Fang. He was so excited that he fiercely kissed the Dragon Fang a few times.
“F*ck, if someone picks you up, I’ll roast you!” Xu You scolded the lightning snake flying around in the distance. With his current equipment level, the price he might pay for death was very high. He suddenly felt that it was normal to be afraid of death. What was he angry about when he attacked the Corpse Devouring Beast in front of him?
However, when he turned around and thought about it, he was afraid that death was not a party member, so if he was afraid of death, he would not be able to successfully resist the attack of the Corpse Devouring Beast, nor would he be able to complete the mission. Then, should he be afraid of death?
“Does a man dare to fight and fight, not afraid of sacrifice, or can a man stretch out and bend and retreat despite difficulties?” Xu You looked at the lightning snake that could instantly kill him and asked in his heart.
Looking at the battle information just now, Xu You knew that the Lightning Snake’s spell did not trigger a critical strike. This meant that Xu You could not even withstand an ordinary spell attack from the Lightning Snake. If he did not take some measures, it was basically impossible for him to contend against it.
Someone said to use battle techniques? Sorry, Xu You hasn’t practiced dodging spells before. Although spells can theoretically dodge, dodging is the only way to dodge spells. Unlike physical attacks, dodging spells are “resistance”, not “dodging”.
The problem was that Xu You hadn’t reached this stage yet, so he didn’t even need to think about it.
Then how would Xu You deal with the lightning snake? Actually, there’s another way, It was up to Xu You whether he dared or not. Judging from the battle just now, the lightning snake was unable to withstand Xu You’s combined attacks of the Gale Steps twice. Therefore, Xu You only needed to run out of the range of the lightning snake and wait for the Gale Steps to cool down for two minutes. He didn’t believe that the lightning snake would use the Gale Steps to escape the battle like a corpse eating beast.
However, to run out of the Thunder Snake’s casting distance, one had to run at full speed. With Xu You’s speed, it would take at least 5 and a half seconds to run 30 meters away from the Gale Steps. When the Thunder Snake woke up from the Wave 2 Stage Slash, it would only take 4 seconds to cast a spell. From this, it could be seen that Xu You did not have enough time to control the Thunder Snake.
Wouldn’t it be good to add a “Hammer of Sanctions” to the Gale Steps combination? That’s right. This way, Xu You will be able to safely leave the Thunder Snake’s casting range, but in the next two minutes, the kite will be safe?
How is that possible? You can learn a lesson from the last battle with the Corpse Devouring Beast. Don’t underestimate Lord level monsters, especially high level monsters. Many of their skills are abnormal. So is the Lightning Snake that only used one spell attack. It definitely has other abnormal skills. How can Xu You, who can’t even withstand ordinary spells, withstand them?
‘”Senior mage lords are indeed different. I thought I was a crisp-skinned duck killer, but I ignored their magic power. Killing those mage lords in the past was too low-level. There was no reference value at all. Looks like this link will cost me some money.” Xu You decided not to waste any time and not to fight first.
This time, Xu You was no longer angry at his retreat. Although the reason was also because he was afraid of death, the situation was different.
The previous time he was afraid of death, Xu You knew that he might succeed, but because he was afraid, he did not dare to extend his hands to block it, causing his success to be on the verge of failure. This time, Xu You chose to retreat to avoid unnecessary losses when he knew that he had a nearly 100% chance of failing.
What do you say? It would be foolish to send someone to their deaths even if they knew that they were going to do so.
What’s more, Xu You had another method. That was to get a set of equipment with natural resistance. If the resistance was high, the damage he received would be low. The reason why Xu You didn’t dare to fight was because the lightning serpent spell was too powerful. Wasn’t it possible to instantly kill him? As long as he weakened the advantage of the Thunder Snake, it would be fine. In the Elemental Desert, Xu You had long since gained experience.
Therefore, Xu You ran back to the auction house of the Ice and Snow Fortress and spent 500 gold coins to buy a set of Level 50 Nature Resistance Equipment. The quality of the equipment was green, but that was enough. Xu You wasn’t worried about his stats, because the Epic Equipment in some parts of his body was enough to make up for these deficiencies.
With a new set of resistance equipment and the halo [Natural Resistance Aura], Xu You’s natural resistance was over 280, which was slightly higher than the black set in the Elemental Desert. This was normal. The black resistance equipment in the Elemental Desert was used to deal with Level 45 monsters. Now, Xu You’s level 50 resistance equipment was used to fight Level 50 monsters.
The resistance was higher, but the endurance was lower. There was only 2900 HP left. Although the endurance of the resistance equipment was also high, it was still not as strong as Xu You’s previous equipment. The attack power was even lower, dropping from more than 3,300 to more than 2,500. However, with the Gale Steps combination skill, the impact would not be great. At most, wait for another 2 minutes before using the third Gale Steps combination skill.
With everything in place, Xu You naturally began to fight again. This time, the damage caused by Xu You’s Gale Steps Combination Technique was much lower. It was only 22,500, a total of 7,000 less. Indeed, it would take three Gale Steps Combination Techniques to kill the Thunder Snake. However, there was no need to do so.
Thunder Snake’s spell damage had also been reduced to more than 1,900 points, unable to kill Xu You instantly. Hence, Xu You safely left his spell range.
As a result, Thunder Snake could only chase after Xu You. However, the Thunder Snake’s movement speed was also very fast, Under the influence of the Frost Aura, he was able to maintain the same speed as Xu You, who had broken through the Divine Speed Aura. However, it was good that he maintained the same speed. Because if the Thunder Snake entered the casting range, it would stop casting. However, Xu You would not stop. Therefore, when Xu You left the casting range again, the Thunder Snake was forced to stop casting and continue chasing Xu You.
Just like that, the kite tactic worked. However, Thunder Snake repeated it a few times and discovered that Xu You had always escaped from the range of his spell casting, so he used other skills.
“You can’t escape.” Thunder Snake said coldly, and then activated the Thunder Net. This was an instant cast skill, and its casting range was a bit longer than the other skills. Hence, Xu You was struck.
Lightning Net: Stuck target in place for 5 seconds, instant cast skill, casting range 35 meters.
Xu You quickly learned the effects of this restriction skill. After seeing the lightning snake trap him, he started casting lightning spells. After drinking the blood bottle once, Xu You also cast the Holy Light Spell. The Lightning Net could only restrict the movement of the target, but could not restrict the casting of the spell.
Then Xu You was struck by the lightning snake and lost another 1,900 HP. At the same time, he also recovered 1,000 HP through the [Holy Light Art]. However, with this cancellation, Xu You still had 2,000 HP left. If he was hit by the spell again, Xu You would not die. However, Xu You continued to use the [Holy Light Art] because the effects of the [Lightning Net] had not passed yet.
As a result, Xu You lost another 1,900 HP, leaving only a pitiful 100 HP. However, he recovered another 1,000 HP. At this time, the effect of the Lightning Net had already disappeared. Xu You decisively retreated and escaped from the attack range of the Thunder Snake before it could attack again.
“So close.” Xu You was still a little afraid that when he escaped from the Lightning Snake’s casting range, his lightning spell would still be released within 0.3 seconds.
Next, the Thunder Snake’s “Thunder Net” did not cool down, so it could only be carried away by Xu You. Xu You used the “Holy Light Technique” twice, but his magic power was insufficient, so the “Tidal Halo” immediately replaced it.
When the Thunder Snake’s Lightning Net cooled down, Xu You was trapped again. However, his Mana Points had already recovered by more than 100, and he could cast the Holy Light Technique again. If this cancelled out, Xu You’s Mana Points would still be sufficient for the time being.
After going back and forth a few times, Xu You’s Gale Steps cooled down. It turned out that the Corpse Devouring Beast that was immune to the Gale Steps was only a special case. The Thunder Snake would not immediately leave its combat state.
As a result, the Thunder Snake lost another 22,500 HP, leaving only 3,000 HP left of the 48,000 HP Thunder Snake. At this moment, the Thunder Snake amplified its attack and its entire body turned a miserable green color.
However, Xu You did not leave, nor did he wait for the Gale Steps to cool down. He directly fainted the Thunder Snake and raised his Dragon Fang to greet the Thunder Snake. All of a sudden, 3,000 health was gone. This time, the effect of the Hammer of Sanctions was different.
“Hey, Lightning Snake, your spell is powerful, but I also have a resistance suit. Even though the price is a little too high,” Xu You finally killed another Lord Monster and completed another mission. However, he knew that this serial mission would not be completed in three days, because he could imagine how abnormal the Lord Monster that mission target would be after reaching 40 rings.
After picking up the things, Xu You rode his horse towards Stantim’s camp with some worry. Under the setting sun, a bright afterglow pulled out a long shadow under the horse’s hooves. Twilight had already begun to envelop Stantim, adding a bit of desolation to the desolate land. The man and horse running on Stantim also looked a little lonely.
When he was a child, Xu You always dreamed that he would be able to walk around like a hero with his sword. He was so handsome and carefree. But now, he understood that being a hero required a price. There were many things in reality that were far from being as beautiful as he had imagined.
