Ten minutes later.
Chen Lang and Qingtian Xiao Yu finally arrived at their destination.
Fortunately, the Poison Bee King was still there, sleeping in the grass, and Chen Lang spotted it.
"It's really a Boss, it's really a Boss!"
Qingtian Xiao Yu used Insight Art to take a glance, and was instantly overwhelmed with excitement.
"Alright, no time to lose, keep an eye on my health bar, heal me when it drops to half!"
Chen Lang didn't have time to say more to Qingtian Xiao Yu and charged forward with Assault!
"Okay, okay, I know!"
Qingtian Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly, her face full of tension.
"Shh!"
Chen Lang's dagger flipped in his hand, and he dashed forward, stabbing directly at the Poison Bee King's eyelid!
"-23"
The Poison Bee King's eyelid was pierced, and a red number floated above its head, but no critical hit appeared.
"Not bad!"
Chen Lang thought to himself, dealing 23 points of damage without a critical hit was quite good!
"Shh!"
After the first strike, Chen Lang didn't pause, pulling out the dagger and spinning around to stab the other eyelid with force!
"-19"
Still no critical hit.
"Buzz buzz!"
At this moment, the Poison Bee King, in pain, finally woke up and bit Chen Lang's calf!
"-14"
Chen Lang's health bar visibly dropped, but it was still acceptable.
He had a defense of 20 points, only 5 points less than the Poison Bee King's attack, achieving nearly 40% damage reduction.
"Die!"
Chen Lang gritted his teeth and stabbed the Poison Bee King's eye with precision!
"-38"
A blood-red damage number floated up, finally a critical hit.
With the stab, Chen Lang didn't hesitate, sliding his foot to narrowly dodge the Poison Bee King's attack!
"Miss!"
Successfully dodged!
"This..."
Not far away, Qingtian Xiao Yu was completely stunned. This less than ten-second battle made her realize the gap between players for the first time.
Not only did he deal nearly 40 points of terrifying damage, but he also dodged the monster's attack through positioning, which was eye-opening for her.
All day she had been teaming up with others to fight monsters, but she had never seen a player with such damage and skill. Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
At this moment, Chen Lang didn't know that in Qingtian Xiao Yu's eyes, he had already defined what it meant to be a master!
"What are you standing there for, heal me!"
On the other side, Chen Lang was fiercely battling the Poison Bee King, launching another Assault that hit the Poison Bee King's eye, dealing a terrifying 46 points of damage, but he was also bitten, dropping his health bar below half.
"Oh, oh!"
Qingtian Xiao Yu snapped back to reality, raising her staff, a green number floated above Chen Lang's head.
"+34"
Chen Lang's vitality instantly recovered to 80 points, and his fighting spirit soared.
"Slash, slash, slash!"
Chen Lang's dagger danced in his hand, attacking the Poison Bee King repeatedly. In just a minute, he had cut down a fifth of the Poison Bee King's health bar, while his own health remained above half, handling it with ease!
Having a Priest as a backup was indeed awesome!
"Buzz buzz!"
When Chen Lang launched another Assault, reducing the Poison Bee King's health to about two-thirds, the Poison Bee King's body began to tremble, a prelude to activating a skill.
"Now's the time!"
Chen Lang focused entirely, not daring to be careless. He had been holding onto his skill [Backstab] for this very moment!
"Shh!"
Chen Lang slid his foot, quickly moving to the Poison Bee King's side and rear. [Backstab] activated, and the dagger plunged into the Poison Bee King's eye, destroying the eyeball!
"-52"
An even more terrifying number floated up, and the Poison Bee King's health bar visibly dropped.
The 130% attack bonus from Backstab was no joke.
"Slash, slash, slash!"
Taking advantage of the Poison Bee King's interrupted skill and momentary pause, Chen Lang swiftly swung his dagger, landing two normal attacks and one [Assault], both precisely hitting the eyes!
"-36"
"-19"
"-46"
Finally, the Poison Bee King's health dropped below half.
"Ding!"
"System Alert: [Poison Bee King]'s health has dropped to 48%, entering Berserk state, attack power increased by 20%."
"Fuck, worthy of being a Boss!"
Chen Lang was startled, focusing intensely, his dagger swinging continuously, fighting to the death without retreat.
However, with the Poison Bee King's 20% attack boost, the damage to Chen Lang increased significantly, each hit dealing around 20 points of damage, doubling his pressure.
Fortunately, with Qingtian Xiao Yu's healing, Chen Lang barely managed to hold on, though his health remained below 50%, unable to rise.
During this time, he even had to use a healing potion at the last moment, almost getting sent back to the village.
After a few minutes of persistence, the Poison Bee King's health finally dropped to about 20%, with only 400 points left.
"Tianya brother, I'm almost out of mana!"
"How many more heals can you do?"
Chen Lang's form flickered, narrowly dodging the Poison Bee King's attack, while activating Backstab, cutting 50 points from the Poison Bee King's health.
"Two times!"
Qingtian Xiao Yu raised her staff, instantly restoring 36 points of Chen Lang's health, bringing him back to 70%.
"Only one left now!"
"That's enough!"
"-21"
The next moment, the Poison Bee King bit Chen Lang's face, dropping his health back to 50%.
"Fuck!"
Chen Lang followed up with an Assault and normal attack, cutting nearly 90 points from the Poison Bee King's life, his health bar almost empty.
"Buzz buzz!"
At this moment, the Poison Bee King's body suddenly trembled violently.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Chen Lang was shocked, knowing it was the prelude to the Poison Bee King's skill activation, but his Backstab skill was still on cooldown, unable to use it.
The next moment, a green mist sprayed from the Poison Bee King's rear, covering half the mountain forest.
"Ding!"
"System Alert: [Poison Bee King] has activated the skill Poison Mist, you are poisoned, losing 5 health per second for 20 seconds."
"This..."
Chen Lang was alarmed, but his hands didn't stop, gripping the dagger for a double strike on the Poison Bee King!
However, due to tension, neither attack resulted in a critical hit, totaling only 39 points of damage.
"Heal yourself, hold on!"
Chen Lang gritted his teeth, enduring another attack from the Poison Bee King, his health bar dropping significantly, leaving only 30 points.
"I can't, even with healing I can't hold on."
Qingtian Xiao Yu was also corroded by the Poison Mist, her health bar dropping rapidly. With only 50 health, even with Heal, she couldn't survive.
"Tianya brother, it's up to you, you must succeed!"
Qingtian Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then finally used her last Heal on Chen Lang.
"+38"
A green number rose, restoring a small portion of Chen Lang's nearly empty health bar.
"You damn thing, die for me!"
Watching Qingtian Xiao Yu slowly fall, Chen Lang's anger surged, his dagger swinging wildly, executing a combo of Backstab + normal attack + Assault, in a frenzy. In just a moment, the Poison Bee King lost 120 health, leaving less than 100, still more than Chen Lang.
Quickly, the Poison Bee King attacked, dealing 18 damage to Chen Lang. Combined with the Poison Mist's erosion, Chen Lang's health bar was empty.
"+100"
A green light rose, Chen Lang drank his last healing potion at the last moment, instantly full health, enduring the venom's erosion for a final burst!
Finally, just as his health bar emptied, the Poison Bee King let out a wail, its massive body crashing down!
