Chapter 92 – Horned Thundertiger (2/2)
“Don’t worry, most monsters except special monsters don’t have a really smart AI,” said HeadofGod.
After the players finished their discussion, the Horned Thundertiger couldn’t stand it anymore and began its assault. It roared, then shot out a bolt of lightning. Then, he leaped up four to five meters into the air and spread its limbs. Its front paws seemed to glisten with a cold light, while it opened its jaws and lunged at Fatty.
Does it think that I’m tastier because I have more meat on me? Fatty was speechless. Why does this monster like targeting me so much?
He quickly retreated, causing the Horned Thundertiger to fall on the ground. It let out a howl, causing a gust of wind to blow past and damage Fatty for more than twenty percent of his health.
It’s so strong! Fatty gasped. But he took the chance of the monster howling to thrust his dagger forward.
Coil!
A silver python coiled around the monster, but dispersed very quickly. Like I thought, the chances of success is too small and it doesn’t work on higher leveled monsters.
“Knights, start tanking!” ASliverofSmoke ordered. Now that God Familia went off to set traps up, someone must draw the aggro of the monster and buy the assassins time.
Ten-odd knights, who each held a shield around half their height, split into two rolls and advanced towards the Horned Thundertiger.
The monster growled, then shout out a bolt of lightning from its horn, which pierced through a shield and hit the chest of the knight behind it. The knight died instantly. Seeing that, although the other knights did not retreat, they were still clearly faltered.
“Fear not, keep tanking! Every one of you who ends up dying will be compensated a thousand gold coins!” ASliverofSmoke shouted. Rewards always brought out some brave people. When a thousand gold coins was equal to around a hundred thousand RMB, something that a person wouldn’t be able to earn in a year, dying once suddenly seemed like nothing special. After all, they would get respawned immediately. It was also obvious that ASliverofSmoke was dumping a lot of money just to please Qian Xiaoqian.
Hearing that, all of the knights became a lot more energetic as they charged over with their shields up. The Horned Thundertiger was clearly stunned, as it got knocked by back the shields.
The monster was outraged. Its horn flared up and killed three knights in less than thirty seconds. However, due to ASliverofSmoke’s promise, the other knights did not fear death, they continued to push against the Horned Thundertiger with their shields.
“The traps ready, lure it over!” HeadofGod suddenly shouted. The twelve people set up a series of traps in one area. It was all down to see whether the traps would be able to trap the Horned Thundertiger.
“I’ll go,” more and more knights died very quickly. Soon, only three remained. When they heard Fatty’s words, they immediately made way. Fatty lunged over and stabbed the tiger under its chin before shooting back.
-25
Ugh, only two digits. I wouldn’t even be able to kill it even if it doesn’t move and just let me attack it.
Nobody was happy about being stabbed in the chin and that was especially a case for a high leveled bsos monster like the Horned Thundertiger. It immediately turned ran towards Fatty and shot out a lightning from its horn.
“Bro, careful!”
The bolt of lightning shot near Fatty in an instant. Yet, at the brink of the moment, he lost his balance, causing him to fall sideways, which made the bolt of lightning on graze his left shoulder.
“This boss monster has such a fast attack frequency!” HeadofGod exclaimed. When one counted carefully, the monster actually had an interval of less than three seconds between each shot from its horns!
“We should continue to set up traps and leave the rest to them,” HeadofGod commented when he judged the traps to be unable to restrict the Horned Thundertiger’s movements for long.
Fatty quickly drank a red potion with a stark white face. He was even able to hold on for several rounds against the advance boss, the Phantom Messenger, but this Horned Thundertiger nearly insta-killed him!
“Bro, I’ll lure it over. I’m not afraid of its lightning attack,” Qian Xiaoqian shouted.
“No, I’ll do it. Everybody, move! I’ll lure it alone,” Fatty roared, then leaped forward again.
The Horned Thundertiger howled towards the sky in anger as its horn sparkled sizzled with electricity. At the same time, it also swung its tail against Fatty’s dagger, then shot out a bolt of lightning.
Invisibility!
Fatty was already prepared before he attacked. He leaned sideways, then disappeared after his dagger was struck. The lightning merely passed through where he was and struck a patch of empty ground.
Fatty appeared as quickly as he vanished. This time, his dagger lodged itself at the monster’s back side and into a certain hole.
The Horned Thundertiger leaped up with a yelp, then its tiger spun around like a windmill, which brought up a gust of raging wind. When it finally fell back down onto the ground, it looked at Fatty with bloodshot eyes, then let out a growl before lunging forward.
There we go. Fatty thought to himself.
