Chapter 33: The Shameless Revival of Flow BOSS (Part 1)

  Headache!

  This system, damn it's a scam. It's clear that they've put a hedgehog here, you dare to hit it and it'll get you all scratched up! After killing this BOSS, you also have to sacrifice yourself, what a loss. A BOSS like this, even if Chu Rui alone absorbs the experience, he absolutely won't gain a level. Now that he's reached level 10, he doesn't want to drop back down to level 9. But if they don't take care of this thing, they can't move forward on the road ahead either. It's really frustrating.

  However, the system shouldn't have created something so unsolvable. This thing's self-destruct range is 10*10 meters wide and has a one-second charging time. That means as long as you run out of its 10-meter radius within one second after killing it, you'll be completely fine. But who can achieve such speed? If Lingdongfeng were still around, Chu Rui might have been able to try. Unfortunately, Lingdongfeng is currently on cooldown. And the farthest attack range for mages right now is three meters, so having Xi Huo make the final hit isn't impossible, but a seven-meter distance in one second - he absolutely can't cover that. No matter how you think about it, someone must die.

  "Or let me make one final attack!"

  Seeing Chu Rui's entangled expression, Xi Huo walked forward and said.

  "No way!"

  Yuehuo can indeed solve this problem, and his death is absolutely much better than Churu's. However, Churu absolutely does not allow his companions to sacrifice themselves to protect him, which has touched his bottom line.

  "But..."

  Xue Huo still wanted to say something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Chu Rui.

  "Let me think again, there must be a way!"

  Chu Rui furrowed his brow, gazing at the five-second interval between each explosion of the Exploding Spider Queen's Exploding Spiders. He felt a sense of helplessness in his heart - if only he still had some Iron Plate Bullets, tossing one would have solved everything!

  Chu Rui was thinking of a way, while Ye Zifeng and the others were not idle either. They took turns going up one by one, and every time an Exploding Magic Spider split out from the Exploding Magic Spider Emperor, someone would go forward to kill it, not letting them gather in groups.

  Playing with the dagger in his hand, looking at the faint glow emitted by the dagger, Chu Rui suddenly stunned, and then patted his forehead in a daze.

  Summon skill bar!

  Sacrificial Strike: Active skill, consumes 30 MP, throws the dagger in hand to deal 200% intensity damage and additional fixed damage based on dagger attack power to enemies, with a critical hit rate of 50% (fixed rate, unaffected by other equipment effects). The thrown dagger cannot be recovered! Cooldown time is 30 minutes.

  Looking at this skill, Chu Rui smiled! He finally found a way to deal with the Exploding Spider Queen without getting hurt!

  To deal with the self-destruction of the Exploding Spider Emperor, it's quite simple. Just escape from him within 10 meters during his 1-second self-destruction period. However, this method is impossible for remote players nowadays. The most reliable way is to sacrifice one person to make the final blow. But since Chu Rui has the "Sacrificial Strike" skill, it's completely unnecessary. Although he had to sacrifice a dagger, Chu Rui didn't mind at all. It was just virtual equipment made of data, no big deal. Equipment can be re-obtained by fighting again, but if Xi Huo were to make the sacrifice, his own heart would not be able to take it.

  "Alright everyone, it's time for the final assault!"

  Kaizumi smiled and shouted at Ye Zifeng and others who were still killing the Exploding Spider Queen. This Exploding Spider Queen, apart from its fast breeding speed, was completely like a snail in all other aspects. Ye Zifeng and others were close to the battle, even if they were hit by it, they wouldn't be killed instantly. For efficiency, it's better to come together!

  The Exploding Spider Emperor is just a sandbag, an infinitely beatable sandbag. Its weak attack doesn't match its Bronze BOSS identity at all, and its slow attack speed is like a snail's pace, making it simply stand there to be beaten by Chu Rui and the others. The only thing that can cause them harm is the self-destruct damage of the Exploding Spider Emperor born every five seconds. However, with the Exploding Spider Emperor's huge body, Chu Rui and the others dispersed and launched a fierce attack from all angles, but the Exploding Spider could only blow up one person at most.

  With ease, Chu Rui dodged the explosive spider's adhesive attack. With a flick of his hand, the dark blue dagger on his right arm and hand seemed to disappear in an instant. By the time he could see clearly again, the dark blue dagger had already swept across the neck of the Explosive Spider King, completing a swift and clean throat-slitting motion.

  The burst of damage from the weak point dealt over 100 points of damage to the Exploding Spider Queen. Although Chu Rui's current attack had already reached over 100, the Exploding Spider Queen's defense was as high as 300, which was really frustrating. Chu Rui's attack could only cause so much damage, and Ye Zi Feng's group couldn't even break through its defenses. The constant "-1" forced damage made these self-proclaimed elites' faces twitch with a cold expression. Especially Sa Sa, who was usually absolutely confident in her abilities as a man, but still couldn't surpass the Exploding Spider Queen. Now, looking at the yellow three-digit damage number floating above the Exploding Spider Queen's head, and then seeing the forced 1-point damage that was about to occur, the big "-1" seemed to be mocking her, making her feel like her face was burning.

  "Rustle..."

  The Blast Spider Emperor, who had been subjected to a frenzied and fierce attack, let out a sharp scream. Its HP, which had dropped to over 2,300, suddenly surged upwards with a green energy rising from its body, restoring it to almost its maximum value of 3,500.

  Damn it!

  Looking at the Exploding Spider Emperor, who seemed to have come back to life like a spring chicken, Chu Rui and others were stunned on the spot! Is this reasonable? You can't even be bothered with your flesh, but you can't be so shameless. We five people fought you for half a day, and in just one second, you restored yourself to your original form. How can we, who are exhausted to death, bear this?

  Now Chu Rui finally understood why a bronze-level BOSS would be set to stand still and take a beating. With such defense, with such health, with such shameless recovery, even if they just stood there and let them hit, maybe they wouldn't necessarily die.

  Looking at the remaining game time, there wasn't much left. The player with the least amount of leaves, Maple, was already approaching the warning line where the system would forcibly kick him offline.

  Can't drag on any longer!

  In the face of enormous pressure, Chu Rui gritted his teeth and completely abandoned his defense, concentrating his spiritual power to crazily output towards the Exploding Spider Emperor.

  Watching Chu Rui's craziness and the burst of damage numbers flashing wildly on the top of Mo Huang's head, Ye Zi Feng and others were deeply shocked.

  What the hell is this thief? He's even more knightly than a knight, recklessly attacking a BOSS!

  Are you kidding me?

  Damn it!
