The Dragon Bloodline skill granted him powerful Defense Power and recovery abilities.
However, no matter how high his defense was, it was useless against Water Bullets.
Water Bullets are considered magic damage, and only Water Resistance can reduce that damage.
Yet, his Spirit was only 7 points.
Spirit affects all types of magic resistance, but such low Spirit meant his base Water Resistance was only seven points.
Even with the ten points of Water attribute resistance added by the Swamp Trident, he only had a measly seventeen points.
He currently had 29 points of Stamina and 290 points of HP.
If he were hit by Water Spheres continuously, he would still be in danger of death.
Furthermore, the Swamp Merman King would definitely use the Water Bullet skill as well.
The damage from the Water Bullets spat out by the opponent would certainly be higher.
He had to respond cautiously and could not afford any slack.
Chu He took a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn.
"It seems every Mist Game cannot be taken lightly, otherwise there will be a danger to my life," Chu He thought to himself.
He put away the thought of looking down on these mermen and instead treated them as a formidable enemy.
"Continue the attack!" the Swamp Merman King ordered.
The Swamp Mermen continued to spit out Water Bullets.
Seeing this, Chu He deliberately showed a look of panic on his face, gritted his teeth, and jumped into the filthy swamp.
After jumping into the swamp, Chu He immediately took off the Burning Medal.
Seeing Chu He jump into the swamp and the Firelight surrounding his body disappear, the Swamp Merman King immediately let out a sinister laugh.
"This human was forced to jump into the water, and the flames surrounding his body have also disappeared."
"Then next, it is his time to die!"
"Tribesmen, tear him apart for me!" the Swamp Merman King roared.
Underwater, Chu He endured the foul stench of the swamp.
This foul stench made him dizzy.
Even though he could breathe, he truly did not want to stay in this swamp for another second.
But he had to kill some Swamp Mermen.
As long as he killed some Swamp Mermen, even if the remaining ones released Water Bullets at him simultaneously, they would not pose a threat to him.
By then, he could fight without any worries.
That was why he pretended to jump into the swamp in a panic and took off the Burning Medal, all to deceive the Swamp Merman King.
He wanted the opponent to believe that the Burning Aura would extinguish upon contact with water.
He did all of this to lure the Swamp Mermen into Close Combat.
When he saw the Swamp Mermen swimming toward him one after another, Chu He suppressed his laughter and pretended to be terrified as he fled in the opposite direction.
His current escape, in the eyes of the Swamp Merman King, was a sign of fear and dread.
"Tribesmen, absolutely do not let him run away," the Swamp Merman King laughed loudly.
He seemed to have already seen the scene of Chu He being torn apart by his tribesmen.
But the smile on his face soon froze.
After the Swamp Mermen approached Chu He, Chu He immediately equipped the Burning Medal he was holding in his hand.
In an instant, Firelight once again surrounded Chu He's body.
Even inside the swamp, the Firelight did not diminish in the slightest.
The Swamp Mermen who approached Chu He had their bodies set on fire under the influence of the burning light, and even the sewage in the swamp could not extinguish the flames.
In an instant, all the Swamp Mermen within a five-meter radius of Chu He's body died.
And the remaining Swamp Mermen, who had not yet reacted, also approached within five meters of Chu He's body.
In just a few seconds, over sixty percent of the hundred or so Swamp Mermen were dead.
"Retreat quickly!" the Swamp Merman King shouted anxiously.
But Chu He naturally would not let this good opportunity slip by.
He suddenly accelerated and swam toward the other Swamp Mermen.
As long as they were within five meters of him, the Swamp Mermen would be instantly burned to death by the Burning Aura.
As the Swamp Mermen died one after another, Chu He's Attack Power began to soar rapidly.
When all the Swamp Mermen died under the Burning Aura, Chu He's Attack Power surged by 560 points.
There were a total of 140 Swamp Mermen; the LV2 Decay Aura adds 2 points of attack for every Normal Enemy killed, which, under the doubling effect of his Talent, meant an increase of 4 points of attack.
Chu He's current Attack Power reached an Exaggerated level.
He swam out of the swamp and surfaced to the water.
He stared at the Swamp Merman King with a cold, sharp smile on his face.
The Swamp Merman King's face, however, showed a crazed expression.
"Human, you are Seeking Death!"
He opened his mouth, and a huge black Water Bullet was spat out from it.
Chu He immediately dove into the swamp to Dodge.
The Swamp Merman King also dove into the swamp, closing in on Chu He.
He now had only one Thought: to tear Chu He apart.
Even though Chu He's body was surrounded by flames, he was not afraid.
As a boss-level creature of the Merman race, he not only possessed Water Resistance but also Fire Resistance.
He was confident that he could tear Chu He apart before he himself was consumed by the flames.
Seeing the Swamp Merman King swimming toward him, Chu He gripped the Swamp Trident in his right hand and sneered in his heart.
He was certain that the opponent's Defense Power definitely did not exceed one hundred points.
With his current Attack Power, he could finish him off in at most three hits.
He waited quietly for the opponent to Approach.
After the Swamp Merman King approached within five meters of Chu He, his body also began to burn with flames.
But he did not care at all.
He clenched his right fist and smashed it toward Chu He's head.
Facing this punch, Chu He did not Dodge.
He simultaneously swung the Swamp Trident, stabbing toward the Swamp Merman King's abdomen.
Chu He took the punch, and his HP dropped by 23 points.
But this strike of his directly reduced the Swamp Merman King's HP by half.
"Hmm?"
Chu He was somewhat surprised.
He did not expect his Attack to be so high.
Even with the attack bonus from the Decay Aura, his attack was less than six hundred points; why could one strike cause such high damage?
Was it because the abdomen was the opponent's weak point?
Although he was not quite sure what was going on.
His movements did not hesitate.
He swung the Swamp Trident again, stabbing toward the Swamp Merman King.
The Swamp Merman King was now panicking immensely.
He did not expect Chu He to be so strong.
One strike had severely wounded him.
He immediately avoided Chu He's attack, wanting to Escape.
But there was only this one chance; if he let the opponent escape, once the attack bonus time of the Decay Aura ended, it would be difficult to kill him.
After his attack missed, he gripped the Swamp Trident with his right hand and threw it forcefully toward the opponent.
Even though there was great resistance in the swamp, his current Attack was too high.
The trident he threw was like an arrow released from a bow, cutting through the sewage in the swamp, hitting the Swamp Merman King's back and piercing through his chest.
This strike instantly brought him to a near-death state.
Chu He swam over, and under the damage of the Burning Aura, the Swamp Merman King was burned to death, his body turning into black mist and dissipating.
With the death of the Swamp Merman King, Chu He felt a huge buoyancy, and his body quickly floated out of the swamp.
The swamp was gradually disappearing; Chu He climbed out of the swamp and shook his wet hair.
The Swamp Trident he was holding also slowly disappeared.
The Red Light Screen around the plaza vanished, and the mist outside gradually dissipated.
