Chapter 17: Skill Book - Brutal Strike!

  My mind turned over countless ideas, but none of them were effective.

  Taking a deep look at the ferocious Gray Wolf King, this bastard's attributes are really frighteningly high, and its level is also suppressing. This battle will absolutely not be easy!

  But now that things have come this far, it's fundamentally impossible to retreat.

  Staring tightly at the gray wolf king in front of him, Chu Rui was slightly angered by its gaze. The condescending gaze that treated him as prey made him feel extremely uncomfortable. When had he, the Blood Hand Ghost Shadow, been looked at with such a gaze? It was just a virtual data-made beast, yet it dared to be so arrogant?

  Taking a deep breath, Chu Rui held the wolf-tooth dagger and assumed a fighting stance.

  Seeing Chu Rui's movement, the Gray Wolf King narrowed his eyes and exerted force under his feet, rapidly rushing towards him.

  So fast!

  It's as fierce as a bull, swift as a hunting leopard, ferocious as a tiger and wild as a lion. This damned gray wolf king is really too abnormal. Is it still struggling to deal with BOSS of different levels?

  Gritting his teeth, he narrowly dodged the Gray Wolf King's pounce. But this beast was not as easy to deal with as an elite gray wolf. Speed and strength aside for now, most importantly, its intelligence far surpassed that of an elite gray wolf.

  "Clang......"

  Raised the wolf-tooth dagger accurately and unerringly blocked the gray wolf king's sudden raiding claws, a clear and crisp sound of sharp objects colliding rang out, Chu Rui's body quickly retreated, and was actually knocked back by the gray wolf's counterattack.

  The gray wolf king's urgent attack came again before he could even rub his slightly numb and sore arm.

  I'm fed up, once and for all, can't you see I've had enough of you?

  Seeing the gray wolf king being so overbearing, Chu Rui was also furious. Although he had no chance of winning in a head-on fight with the gray wolf king, and their speeds were almost identical, with the latter even having a slight advantage, and his tactics of circling around were also ineffective. However, based on these few attacks, he finally saw through the gray wolf king's attacking pattern.

  Just like ordinary gray wolves, they are all straightforward and don't understand flexibility. If you can tightly grasp this weakness, seize the opportunity, you can completely play it to death. The only thing to note is that its initial charge attack speed is too fast, if not handled properly, it may be severely injured or even killed instantly. In addition, the skill "Brutal Strike" also makes people very concerned, after being hit like that, at least half of their life will be lost, and the estimated probability of being killed instantly is over 80%!

  Forget it! First teach this wolf a lesson!

  He gritted his teeth, looking at the Grey Wolf King who was charging again. Chu Rui held his dagger horizontally and waited until it charged to within half a meter of himself before suddenly dodging to the side, avoiding the fierce attack. At the same time, the dagger that had been accumulating power also made a ruthless thrust forward, although it didn't accurately hit the throat, but still stabbed into the neck. Moreover, because the Grey Wolf King was running too fast, when the dagger stabbed in and it moved, the sharp blade directly slashed across its body, causing quite some damage.

  Looking at the Grey Wolf King, which still had 1442 points of life left, Chu Rui's eyes narrowed. The critical hit damage was only 42 points, this damned wolf, its skin was thicker than he had imagined.

  One move succeeds, and he immediately flees far away!

  An assassin is not a warrior, what he seeks is one shot to kill. If an assassin can't take down the enemy with one shot, then he's not a qualified assassin.

  One move fails, retreat thousands of miles!

  This is what a real killer should do! Those brainless killers who rush into battle with their blood boiling, aren't even worthy of being called killers.

  If it were an ordinary person, being stabbed in the neck with a dagger would have killed them instantly. However, in the game world, even if you chop off someone's head, as long as their health points don't drop to zero, they'll still be alive and kicking. Nevertheless, this can't change Chu Rui's habits and personality. If one stab of the dagger can't kill, then he'll stab ten times. The reason why BOSSes are so strong is because of their abnormal attributes and disgusting skills, but after all, they're just virtual settings, and their intelligence is definitely not as good as that of real humans. Moreover, they don't have any potions or supplies to replenish themselves, which is their greatest weakness!

  A bottle in hand, I have the world at my command!

  As long as there is medicine, the player is a small invincible coin. One knife can't kill you, what about ten knives, or a hundred knives? There will always be a day when you are stabbed to death!

  Now Chu Rui has grasped the fatal weakness of the Gray Wolf King's attack, with his speed and awareness, as long as there are no accidents, he can slowly grind down this invincible Gray Wolf King.

  …………

  "Sister Sa, can we really get equipment here? It's just a level 3 slime. Ew, how disgusting!"

  The sweet and lovely Sweetie was following behind a tall and majestic female warrior with a sword, muttering to herself nonstop. Seeing the green Slimes that looked like boogers next to her, she turned pale with fright.

  "Hehe, don't worry! As long as you kill at least 100 Slimes and get at least 50 Slime Skins, you can trigger the quest with the Village Chief and obtain a Slime Bracelet. Unfortunately, this can only be done once per person, otherwise, constantly farming for bracelets would definitely make it possible to buy potions to fight higher-level monsters."

  The Challenger Sa responded lazily, but thinking that she couldn't brush off her equipment, she had a face full of resentment and helplessness. She raised her hand to look at her bare wrist, and suddenly thought of the mysterious man who had exchanged Slime with her, and was slightly distracted.

  "Sister Sa, what are you thinking about? Look, I caught a Slime skin! Hehe!"

  A loud shout suddenly awakened him from his daze, and he saw the sweet girl in front of him, looking like a MM, holding a green skin and smiling at him with a smile, and he couldn't help but laugh.

  "Alright, I'll help you with that. Although you have to be the one to deliver the final blow to the slime, this hide isn't going to burst easily, so let me help you attack the Slime's skin!"

  With a soft chuckle, he raised his tempered iron sword and slashed at one of the slimes.

  …………

  "Ahhh..."

  A sharp claw swept across Chu Rui's chest, which he couldn't dodge in time. The intense pain made him stifle a groan.

  Relying on the effect of the spiritual wind, he quickly scrambled up, ignoring the pain, and hastily poured in a life-saving potion. Fortunately, his falling health was pulled back up.

  "You beast, you've finally used your [Brutal Strike]! Now watch how I take care of you!"

  With a cold smile, within the limited effective time of the Wind of Agility, Chu Rui's figure changed and transformed unceasingly, surrounding the Gray Wolf King and hacking at it fiercely, finally killing it just as the effect was about to end!

  Seeing the Grey Wolf King turn into a wolf corpse, Chu Rui instantly relaxed and sat down on the ground with a thud. Ignoring the rising upgrade golden light on his body, he began to examine the spoils of war scattered all over the ground. His eyes scanned around, and soon landed on something that made him extremely excited - a skill book!

  He picked it up and suddenly the four big characters on the skill book appeared before his eyes.

  Brutal blow!
