Assassin Reborn - Chapter 4

Chapter 4   The Gallbladder of the King of Red Tailed Snakes!

Xu Xiang knows that he would be half dead if he was bitten once. But he still remembered the video that showed how to take advantage of the terrain to kill this king of the red tailed snakes in his previous life. That video was linked to the forum after the game has been opened for a month, which showed a level 2 archer abusing the terrain to make the king of the red tailed snakes stuck and then killing it just with arrows.

Although it had already been opened for a month, and there were a lot of people who had changed professions, this video still caused a sensation. Because a short time ago before that, there were 20 level 5 players that formed a group to kill this king of red tailed snakes. But the king of snakes was really dangerous, with one bite it reduced half of the player’s HP. These level 5 players in this group didn’t have priests who can heal, killing the king of snakes with so little sustain, even relying on health potions is not enough. Naturally, the whole group was destroyed.

Xu Xiang went to confirm the terrain first. As a mercenary, he can’t just trust the information blindly, because the information may be wrong, only by seeing and confirming it himself then he can trust it. This had become a habit of Xu Xiang, just like eating and sleeping. Then he returned to his original position, and found that the king of red tailed snakes was still there, with its position unchanged even 1 yard.。

Xu Xiang quietly got close to the king of red tailed snakes. The king of red tailed snakes was almost 7 yards long, its red scales on its tail shining under the moonlight and was lying motionless on the ground. Xu Xiang weakened his mood, then jumped up suddenly and plunged into the back of the king of red tailed snakes violently. Above the head of the king of red tailed snakes showed 1 point of damage, and the king of red tailed snakes naturally started to wake up.

After plunging the snake, Xu Xiang ran away immediately. He remembered the terrain that the archer made the king of red tailed snakes stuck in the video was on a tree not far away. There were 3 big trees encircling each other. The trees began to branch out from the ground to 1 yard, and there was a small space that a person can pass through but it was not big enough for the king of the red tailed snakes. As long as he jumped past the space with the king of snakes, the king of snakes will naturally be stuck between the trees and is unable to move or retreat.

But it was clearly not that easy to execute. That person in the video was an archer, although archers and thieves were the jobs that were experts in speed, Xu Xiang was only level 0 with equipment of a newcomer. The archer was level 2, and he seemed to add 20 attribute points to agility, and he had shoes, so his speed became very fast, at the same level as the king of snakes.

But also because of this reason, Xu Xiang didn’t have to worry the problem of loss of hatred just like the archer.

The speed of Xu Xiang was slower than the king of snakes, he was caught up by the king of snake after he ran 50 yards. The king of snakes tried to bite Xu Xiang with its big mouth but Xu Xiang tumbled a side and he escaped this attack. Then he got up and kept running. At this time, he felt a pain coming from his back, and then he noticed that there was a state in the attribute column:

The venom of the king of snake

Lose 9 HP per second, lasts 15 seconds

Now Xu Xiang finally understood why the group got destroyed, it is because of this venom. He escaped the attack from the king of the snakes, but he still was poisoned, which proved that the venom was at least an AOE skill. Everyone will be poisoned as long as they touch the venom, so the venom was very hazardous.

Xu Xiang counted his HP, then after 11 seconds, he pulled out the primary instantaneous recovery agents and drunk it, his HP recovered to full value. But then hi HP began to fall again, and finally it stopped at 74 points. Xu Xiang was poisoned by the venom again during the way. However, Xu Xiang’s stock was sufficient and there was enough time to wait for its cooldown, so Xu Xiang wasn’t in a tight spot.

At this time, Xu Xiang has come to the front of the tree and the king of snakes was just 10 yards behind Xu Xiang. Xu Xiang jumped and he heard the sound of leaves rustling. While he was landing on the ground, he tumbled so as to offset the impact of the landing. He got up and ran forward few more yards , then he looked back over his shoulder.

Good boy! The king of red tailed snakes has been stuck in the tree, its abdomen was stuck in between two branches that were tough. The king of snakes desperately twisted its body. The sound of the leaves in the tree rustling again, some leaves was falling slowly on the ground. But the king of snakes was still stuck in the tree between the branches, just like a pliers vise holding the snake.

Xu Xiang walked around the snake, and then he came behind the king of red tailed snakes, seeing that the tail has feebly swayed. Fortunately, in this position, the king of snakes can’t exert any strength. Otherwise, just getting hit by the tail of the king of snakes can make Xu Xiang drink a pot.

Xu Xiang began to attack the king of snakes. Although attacking the back of the king of snakes deals a backstab damage, the level of Xu Xiang was really too low. Each of his attack only dealt one point of damage, which made the king of snakes very angry. However, it is powerless to protect itself even though it wants to.

<<Disputes>> made that you will be able to cause harm as long as you hit the target. Even if a level 0 newcomer attacked a level 250 lord monster, it will also deal 1 point, not MISS, unless the target has skills or equipments with dodge, which also provided theoretical support for many players who hit the BOSS to death with the tactic of using a sea of people. However, the HP recovery rate of the BOSS can put most of groups to shame, not to mention big AOE damaging skills.

The HP recovery rate of the king of red tailed snakes was medium. Xu Xiang found he need to spend one hour to kill it if he keeps attacking it like this. It was natural to take a long time. After all, a level 0 newcomer killing a level 7 BOSS, no one would dare to think.

Xu Xiang waved his arms mechanically to attack the king of snakes with a knife for an hour. Fortunately, the equipment of newcomer was durable, otherwise Xu Xiang would have to kill the king of snake with his bare hands.

“Ding ~The HP of the king of red tailed snakes is below 10 percent, it is in a state of frenzy, attack power increased by 30 percent, defense increased by 20 percent, HP stopped restoring, lasts for 10 minutes.”

The body of the king of snakes became red and made the whole tree shake and crumble, this made Xu Xiang’s heart suddenly go up to his throat. Fortunately, the tree was very strong and has no cracks, but because the body of the king of snakes swelled, it became tighter to the tree. Now the king of snakes can’t even move at all.

If the players who are making a group to kill the king of snakes hear about this system abuse, they probably will spray a mouthful blood to the screen. The attack power of the king of snakes had been very high, and now it is also increased by 30 percent. Moreover, not many people will still be alive in the group by this time. But it was good news for Xu Xiang, because the HP of king of snakes has stopped restoring.

“Ding ~ Congratulations to you killing the king of red tailed snakes (BOSS of Bronze level), gained 30000 experience, increased experience gained by 80 percent for skipping 8 levels to kill the monster, total experience gain is 54000 and reputation increased by 10 points. Congratulations, your level has been increased. Now your level is 1, all attributes increased by one, get 10 free attribute points.”

A gorgeous white light enveloped Xu Xiang, his level has been upgraded. The king of red tailed snakes finally died, the body struggled hard but softened down immediately. Xu Xiang also sat on the ground to take a rest. He was really tired having wielded dagger like this for an hour, but soon it was replaced by the joy of killing the BOSS, and the king of snakes dropped out three things.
