Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Stealing the BOSS
Translator: 549690339
âCanât hit the BOSS, but can I still hit you?â Seeing that the BOSS was about to be taken down by Song Jian alone, the players behind him immediately shifted their targets and started aiming at Song Jianâs back to attack him.
âFuck, are you guys serious?â Song Jian felt the full malicious intent coming from behind him, and his Vitality Points dropped from the full 400 points to less than 200 points in an instant.
Song Jian glanced at the spike-covered Zombie heading towards him and turned directly to rush towards the players.
âYou guys want to fight the BOSS, right? Iâll bring it to you.â Song Jian thought to himself with a cold smile on his face.
âThis guy brings the BOSS over, hurry up and hit it, hit it!â
âGreat opportunity, BOSS is low HP, grab the BOSS, grab the kill, grab the equipment!â
For a while, the onlookers all turned their guns and started shooting at the BOSS. By now, the BOSSâS hatred had been firmly attracted by Song Jian, so no matter how the surrounding players attacked, they wouldnât steal aggro and could safely unleash their strongest attacks to compete for the loot rights.
Song Jian rushed into the crowd, not continuing to run forward, but darted around in the crowd like a fish, causing the BOSSâS two spikes to constantly swing and its body to spin. A circle of black aura surrounded it, striking fear into the hearts of those that saw it, as the players who touched the black aura had their Vitality Points drained rapidly.
âGet out of the way, donât crowd, the BOSS is coming.â In an instant, a storm of blood and gore erupted among the players. The vast majority of players were around level 5 or 6, mostly those who hadnât completed the main quest or set up Safe Houses. Facing the BOSS, they were like ants, their attacks dealing only single-digit damage, some not even able to break its defenses.
In the BOSSâS eyes, there was only Song Jian, but it would tear apart anyone who stood in its way, be it player or monster.
Some players managed to escape by a hairâs breadth, fleeing with low HP, while some were instantly killed by the BOSS before they even realized what was happening.
Now, no more players wanted to compete for the loot rights, as they all howled like ghosts and ran off, trying to keep their distance from the BOSS.
Other playersâ faces turned green as they saw Song Jian rushing towards them, and they scattered before he even arrived, prioritizing their own lives over the quest rewards and BOSS drops.
Song Jian stood in the middle of the street, and none of the surrounding players dared to meet his gaze.
âThis guy is too vicious, deliberately luring monsters and killing so many players, heâs a murderer!â someone muttered quietly.
âDonât say anything, be careful not to get targeted by him, he wouldnât mind killing one moreâ¦â
Players who attacked Song Jian would find themselves covered in a faint pink glow, visible only to the players targeted by him.
That wave just now had killed more than half of the players who attacked Song Jian; having taken a look around, Song Jian suddenly turned and rushed down a nearby street.
The players who were standing there panicked and scattered in all directions like birds and beasts.
âFuck, heâs back again. I told you not to hit him, but you didnât listen. Now heâs seeking revenge with the BOSS, whatâre you going to do?â
âI said to attack him, and you all agreed, so why the hell are you blaming me now?â
âRun, donât argue, that BOSS is too fierce, if it catches us, weâre dead!â
Song Jian arrived in front of the three players without speaking, only to hear a roar from the BOSS behind him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh-
Countless spikes rained down like a torrential downpour in Song Jianâs direction.
Bang bang bang-
Song Jianâs protective shield started shaking violently, and after the downpour ended, the shieldâs defense dropped to zero. It shattered like glass, and Song Jianâs Vitality Points shot up again.
While he was running towards the players, Song Jianâs Vitality Points had almost fully recovered. This time, his Vitality Points were restored to their maximum level.
Meanwhile, the three players beside him were pierced by spikes all over their bodies, turning into three corpses.
Song Jian scanned the area, and there were almost no players with the red glow left. Even if there were, they had already run far away, not daring to approach him in the slightest.
Looking at the other players, at first, some were still excitedly attacking the BOSS, but after being kited around by Song Jian, amazingly, no players dared to attack the BOSS anymore. They all sheepishly put away their weapons with awkward smiles.
Song Jian glanced at the âT-11 High Explosive Grenadeâ in his inventory, and then at the BOSSâS just over 200 Vitality Points, and shook his head slightly before rushing towards the BOSS with his dagger clutched in hand.
His dagger was thrust like a tusk towards the BOSSâS eyes. The spike-covered Zombie raised both hands to block, its spikes stopping Song Jianâs attack. But Song Jian feinted, swiping his right hand across the Zombieâs arm, cutting a foot-long wound and drenching its arm in blood.
-13
Song Jianâs head also showed a damage value of more than ten points.
âRebound damage? How annoying!â Song Jian frowned slightly. However, with his current rate of Vitality recovery, any real damage would be healed within a second. To him now, rebound damage was basically nonexistent.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh-
Song Jian danced around, executing the basic moves of the dagger fighting technique, but when combined, these moves unleashed a significant amount of power. The spike-covered Zombieâs Vitality Points quickly dropped to below 100.
With a long howl, the spike-covered Zombieâs muscles tightened as it released its power. All the spikes on its body began to tremble slightly and slowly protrude outwards.
âRun, the BOSS is about to use its ultimate move again!â The onlooking players immediately ran towards the distance, while Song Jianâs mouth revealed a faint smile and he whispered a single word: âExplode!â
Puff-
The spike-covered Zombie trembled slightly and green smoke burst from its body, showing a damage value of over 100 points, which emptied its remaining Vitality Points.
The BOSSâS body slumped to the ground, scattering loot all over, leaving only a headless corpse. Song Jian picked up all the dropped items, including a small package displaying âKucaâs Head of the Spike Zombieâ.
Opening the task interface, Song Jian directly chose to Complete Task, and the small package in his inventory disappeared, replaced by 5,000 Doomsday Coins. By now, Song Jianâs Doomsday Coins were close to 8,000.
âNow 1 have enough money to buy the seeds!â Song Jianâs face showed a satisfied smile.
Looking at the Safe House in front of him, without the level 10 elite BOSS, the three playersâ main quest should be completed soon. Once they succeeded, future players would definitely follow their example, and even if it attracted a level 10 elite BOSS, it would still be much stronger than resisting the monster waves on their own.
There was no reason to stay here any longer. Song Jianâs experience points were locked and would not increase unless he became a professional player. He turned to leave, but suddenly a voice stopped him.
