Chapter 396 - 368: The Troubled Pursuit
——System Prompt: You used the special skill "Blood Sacrifice" of the reconnaissance spirit eagle’s flute. You contributed a certain amount of Life Limit to enhance the spiritual eagle’s strength. The current optimal blood sacrifice amount is 200 Life Value, would you like to perform the optimal blood sacrifice?
Life Value! In that instant, Da Fei once again felt a wave of dizziness! That’s a whole life for an average player, the system sure dares to ask! What about next time? 300? 400?! Even a Tycoon would be knocked out flat! The Life Book is priceless!
At this time, looking at the King Giant Lizard about to leave, Da Fei made the most impulsive and unreliable decision since he started playing the game!
—Confirm!
Bro, in reality, I already have a worry-free life and assets worth 20 million, and in the game, I have become an international celebrity. At my level, it’s all about having a clear mind! Rather than regretting what was done, it’s better to regret what was missed! Although I only have 200 Life left, which is less than an average player of the same level, but I’m currently in a naval battle state, with a 20% Life bonus from Ultimate Sea Monster Hunter and a 15% Life bonus from three Disease Antibodies, I can hold on! As for the future, once I obtain the Divine Artifact Titan’s Grip and win a few glorious victories, everything will be fine!
The blood light burst again! The Blood Eagle Flute flashed a white light!
—System Prompt: Congratulations! Under your blood sacrifice, your reconnaissance spirit eagle Little Fei has grown! Little Fei’s Attack +5, Defense +2, Damage +2, Attack Speed +1, Life +20, Stamina +20, Mana +20, gained 1 growth Skill Point, Little Fei’s form has changed to a small spiritual creature!
—Growing Reconnaissance Spirit Eagle (Little Fei): Small-sized spiritual elite creature, Attack 15, Defense 5, Damage 5-6, Life 49, Mana 35, Command Value: 0, Attack Speed: 16, Stamina: 83/83. Special Skills: Flying Creature, God-level Reconnaissance Technique, Plane Surveillance, Long Sky Eagle Strike, Gliding, Dive. Growth Skill Points: 3 points.
They really dared to give me only 1 Skill Point!
At this moment, Da Fei didn’t want to think about anything else, just do one thing—Little Fei, lock the target, attack!
A blood-red giant eagle soared up. It spread its wings, reaching the size of an average adult human. Its basic attributes reached the level of a 4th-level troop. As a reconnaissance pet, it was quite glorious, but against the King Giant Lizard, which a Crossbow Cannon couldn’t even move, this damage was just a drizzle. Da Fei had to catch up, allowing Little Fei to receive 100 Attack from him and an extra 3 Damage bonus from the Captain’s Sword and the achievement "God Slayer"!
Da Fei immediately swam hard in the direction the giant lizard was fleeing! This was indeed a dangerous act, but Da Fei had to take a gamble. Bet that no other monsters could see through his God-level Stealth Master, bet that all the monsters focused their attention on the corpses floating on the lake.
The lake surface was in chaos. Those swamp creatures that had been acting strangely after devouring crows suffered the same fate as the King Giant Lizard. The flaws were found by new opponents and were successfully killed, and the predators couldn’t let down their guard after a successful hunt. This situation was indeed beneficial for Da Fei.
Now, Little Fei had caught up with the escaping giant lizard and, without saying a word, clawed fiercely at its bleeding, rotten butt! And just then, the system prompt bell rang again!
—System Prompt: Your Intelligence Analysis Skill discovered the weak point of the Petrified Giant Lizard King. Your attacks will reduce the target’s Defense by 25%—50%!
Ha! Wow hahaha! Such an obvious weak point, even a blind person could see it! Every time Intelligence Analysis comes up, it’s the time for me to kill a BOSS, and this time will be no exception! I want to see how much Defense is left on that rotten butt after being reduced!
—Dive!
Little Fei transformed into a blood-colored lightning bolt that crashed down—bam!!! "226!!!"
The giant lizard erupted with a pitiful wail once again!
226!!! In that moment, looking at the suddenly popped Damage Value, which was no less than the Crossbow Cannon, Da Fei was stunned!
Little Fei had been boosted by me to 8 Damage and 115 Attack, where 1 Attack adds 5% damage, meaning a 575% boost, which is 54 Damage. Assuming the giant lizard has Defense Skill countering my Advanced Attack Skill and Dive did triple damage for 150 points, where did the over 200 Damage come from? There’s only one possibility, its defense was reduced to a negative!
And Little Fei’s continuous normal attacks that followed also confirmed Da Fei’s calculation—"-84!" "-81" "-82!"
Under the enhancements of +2 Attack Speed from the Captain’s Sword, +10% Basic Attack Speed from the Speed Cloak, and an additional 5% total Attack Speed from the achievement Corpse Poison Plague Antibody, Little Fei’s already terrifying 16 points of Attack Speed was boosted to 19.5, reaching the legendary Phoenix’s Attack Speed, which could only be described as claws like lightning, and under the high-frequency Attack Speed, Da Fei’s God-level Luck Skill and the Luck specialty bonus of 13 Luck Value finally exploded with terrifying power—a rainbow light rose up, 170!
In such a short moment, Little Fei dealt over 600 points of Damage to the giant lizard king! Could you imagine that a creature with only 5-6 Basic Damage could produce such numbers? This is the power of a creature led by a mighty hero!
And this giant lizard, once so formidable it could roam with the demigod-level giant crocodile, had no way to counter this flying eagle’s attacks, with defeat being inevitable! And Little Fei, despite having killed so many weak crows, couldn’t grow any further. I couldn’t even imagine how much it would grow after killing this giant lizard! Da Fei couldn’t help but celebrate loudly!
In the midst of excitement, the King Giant Lizard suddenly dove underwater! The King Giant Lizard still had a way to counter the airborne chase!
Damn!
Da Fei was dumbfounded on the spot! At this moment, Da Fei only wanted to say three words to the giant lizard: "You busy?! (NMB)!"
Da Fei just wanted to say one thing to Little Fei: "Transform into an osprey!"
Now Da Fei finally knew what skill to arrange for Little Fei in the future, which is a diving skill! My Little Fei should conquer the sea, land, and sky, only this kind of creature could deserve my sailor identity! As for now, there was no other way but to track! Be the anti-submarine eagle, peck it to death if it dares show its head up! I don’t believe it won’t come up! I don’t believe this rotten butt can last long!
Just as Da Fei gritted his teeth, red light suddenly exploded in front of him!
—System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill Warning! You have entered the alert range of the Swamp Snake-necked Dragon, about to engage in battle!
Da Fei was suddenly shocked and saw that the Green Smoke Snake-necked Dragon, who had dared only to sneak around the outside picking up leaks, was swimming rapidly toward him! Damn! Bro swam too fast and still got discovered by the BOSS! Come on, among all the food, why come after me?
And at this moment, Da Fei realized that the surrounding lake surface was a patch of green clouds, and those weaklings that were fighting and grabbing just now were all chased to the outskirts when he wasn’t paying attention (busy chasing the King Giant Lizard). That means it had become the only Overlord of this lake area! No wonder it wouldn’t let me go!
This time Da Fei panicked again! What to do! What to do!? I mustn’t die now! If I die, everything about the King Giant Lizard would be in vain!
Wait! Stay calm! Stay really calm! Running is definitely not an option. A mere human like me, any aquatic creature is faster than me, I can only rely on my Stealth Master. Even if I enter the battle, my Stealth Master might not reveal itself. I have to take a gamble! I must be stealthy! As long as I don’t move, don’t stir the water, it might not notice me! Right, now is the time to test my Stealth Mastery! If this cowardly dragon can’t get past me, how could I sneak by a demigod Eight-Headed Snake?
Da Fei gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and immediately sank into the water without moving an inch—you don’t see me! You don’t see me!! You don’t see me!!!
And just as Da Fei was motionless with bated breath, the King Giant Lizard swam away from Da Fei’s pursuit, which meant Little Fei could no longer benefit from Da Fei’s hero attributes and was reduced to a mere 15 Attack, 5-6 Damage, 4th-level troop! Is there any chance of success in killing it like this?
At this point, Da Fei was already struggling to protect himself. Although the Snake-necked Dragon hadn’t found Da Fei, its massive body like a medium ship churned up the water in Da Fei’s area, making the whole lake a deep green color! Da Fei’s body began constantly losing health at -3, -4! It was poison! If not for Nash’s Tooth, Da Fei’s health would be dropping even more disastrously! Da Fei had less than 200 health left and couldn’t hold out for much longer—moving or not moving both meant death!
At this moment, Da Fei’s heart was filled with a mix of emotions!
The ambition was big, the play was overdone! Strength or misfortune, a hair’s breadth between success and failure, Da Fei had seen much in the last ten years, stay calm, I’ve done my best, with no regrets or complaints, it’s good that I have made arrangements for future affairs, implement Plan B and get back to the Chief of Staff to find this space.
It’s just a pity that if this goes down, I’ll miss the chance to stow away with the Eight-Headed Snake, but it’s okay, I’ll find another strong one when I get back. There’s still a bit of time, so let’s see how Little Fei is tracking over there, if it doesn’t die, my mind won’t be at ease! After all, it’s still a matter of not having enough power.
Just as Da Fei was ready for his departure, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from the lake surface, simultaneously Da Fei felt a violent surge of water waves under the lake—a snake-necked dragon fleeing in panic, and the roar was from the giant crocodile!
That’s right! The giant crocodile had recovered from its petrified state, filled with immense anger and unwillingness! While petrification meant instant death for ordinary creatures, for it, nearing demigod status, it only reflected certain degrees of damage!
And what it first saw upon recovery was this snake-necked dragon that’s been making waves in its domain! If the giant lizard doesn’t die, you will!
And for Da Fei, this was unexpected survival! The flame of hope once again burned brightly in Da Fei’s heart. As long as I don’t die, everything is possible!
At this moment, Da Fei was moved to tears, he just wanted to say two words to the giant crocodile: "Thank you!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
