Chapter 16 Biting the Hook (1/2)
Chapter 16 – Biting the Hook
Whoosh.
The huge rat tail swept over.
Fatty immediately flipped backwards to dodge it, then bent down, and shot back in front of Diggy Rat. He waved his dagger and sliced a perfect cross on Diggy Rat’s eyes before flipping backwards once more again to dodge the second attack.
-1927
A chunk was shaved off Diggy Rat’s HP bar.
Squeak!
Diggy Rat wailed in pain as blood spattered everywhere. From the looks of it, its entire right eye was blinded by Fatty’s attack. Diggy Rat’s blood boiled from the wound. It slapped down onto the ground with its paws, causing ten stone pillars to shoot up underneath Fatty.
“The f*ck? Magic attack!?” Fatty was shocked. This is the first monster he had met in game that knows how to attack magically.
Fatty was pushed up into the sky by the stone pillars, while a huge red number appeared over his head. His already lacking HP dropped to a new low. When he fell back onto the floor, he rolled over, and quickly chugged down a large red pot with bloodshot eyes.
“That was outrageous! Again!”
…
“Boss, do you hear something?” Wind God’s Immortality, who was attacking a monster, suddenly said to Wind God’s World.
“What do you hear?” Wind God’s Heaven was momentarily stunned, causing him to nearly be bitten by the rat he was attacking.
“It’s the sound of a boss,” Wind God’s Immortality whispered excitedly.
“You sure?” Wind God’s World’s eyes lit up.
“Definitely,” Wind God’s Immortality quickly dispatched the rat in front of him. “Let’s go and take a look?”
“Let’s go,” Wind God’s World waved his hand.
The team behind him immediately gathered, and surrounded Wind God’s World and Purple Bell, before going towards the origin of the sound.
……
…
Bang.
Fatty fell onto the ground and felt as if his entire body was going to fall apart. Poison and traps were both useless, and Coil, the only useful skill, didn’t deal enough damage. Fatty truly felt on the brink of despair. This definitely was not a mission that a player without his class enhancement could complete.
Diggy Rat fell onto the ground, and panted. Although Fatty didn’t deal much damage to it, it was in a pretty terrible state with a large cross on its left eye, and a section missing from its tail. At that moment, it still had 84% of its HP bar remaining.
“Ahh, it wasn’t too bad. It’s at least ten levels higher than me, so managing to do this much is already good enough,” Fatty comforted himself, then suddenly turned around at the sound of footsteps.
“I really didn’t want to be killed by using someone else…” Fatty sighed helplessly. Then he feint and attack before running off.
…
“Wow, it really is a boss!” Wind God’s World immediately smiled brightly when he saw the huge rat in front of him.
“Boss, the gray rats are Level 15, so this boss should be at least Level 20. Can we even beat it?” A mage beside Wind God’s World asked.
“Of course,” Wind God’s World smiled proudly. “You see that trap? Some guild probably came to kill the boss, but the boss didn’t go in, and instead wiped them out. As long we push the boss in, then we’ll have all the advantages we need. Lil’ Three, go and call people.”
“Boss is right!” Wind God’s Immortality agreed.
Soon, ten-odd people hurried over. All of their name began with “Wind God’s”. Since the birthplace of the players were random, the fact that there were twenty something players in a single Beginner’s Village only went on to show that the Wind God Guild was a pretty sizeable organization.
“Boss, we’re here.”
“Haha, good. Kill the boss. We must get a gold rank item!” Wind God’s World laughed and waved his hand in an imposing manner.
“Dream on, big brother. The best equipment in the rankings right now is a silver Python Armor. You want to get a gold item? Keep on dreaming,” Purple Bell smiled.
“Haha,” all of the Wind God Guild players all laughed.
“Ahem… Lil’ sis, that’s a bit too much isn’t it? Can’t I dream” It was clear that Wind God’s World spoiled Purple Bell alot.
“Mm, she’s just like Lil’ Qian,” Fatty laid on the slope and looked at Purple Bell. The girl reminded her of his little sister Qian Xiaoqian. However, it was clear that the two were not the same type of girl. Qian Xiaoqian was the naughty kind, while Purple Bell was the cute type.
“Ahh, fight, fight, fight. I’ll clean up after you guys are all sent back for free,” Fatty rolled over, and leaned his head back onto his arms, and looked into the sky with a strand of grass in his mouth.
How long have mom and dad left? It’s been nearly twenty years hasn’t it?
Thus, Fatty gradually fell asleep, while the Wind God Guild and Diggy Rat fought intensely at the foot of the hill.
…
“Keep blocking. Yes, that’s right. Knights and warriors, stay on guard. Mages and archers attack from range. Rogues, you go to the side,” Wind God’s World screamed out his commands. More than ten people had been killed already, including Purple Bell. The remaining people were in critical danger, and might end up respawning any time soon.
The main reason was that the current strength of players was still far too weak. In order to defeat a boss of Diggy Rat’s level, at the very least, they have to get their class enhancements first. Although they’ll still be Level 10, but a player’s attack and defense were significantly higher after the class enhancement. That was the only reason why Fatty was able to sleep without any worry of Diggy Rat being killed.
“Boss, boss, we can’t take it anymore,” the warrior Wind God’s General chugged down red pots, but was till unable to withstand even a single one of Diggy Rat’s attack, causing him to be sent back to the village with a flash of white light.
“Hold on, the boss is nearly dead. F*ck, why can’t the trap trap it? And damn, it can actually use magic attacks,” Wind God’s World’s face was covered in sweat as he cursed loudly while looking at Diggy Rat’s HP bar. They were a group of twenty something players, and each of them had already died two or three times on average. Yet, the boss still had thirty something percent of its maximum health remaining.
