Chapter Nineteen: Battle Video

  Ye Chen asked himself that he was not the opponent of three or more green scale snakes, so his chosen targets were all red flowers with only one or two green scale snakes around.

  The lonely cyan scale snake was not Ye Chen's opponent at all, opening a distance of three or four black fireballs to directly settle it. The two mixed together were slightly more troublesome. No matter how far apart they were, in the end, one of the cyan scale snakes would always get close. Fortunately, there was dark healing magic to support him, barely holding on. Unfortunately, Ye Chen didn't have deceleration control magic yet, otherwise, even facing two would be very easy.

  Like this, killing the green scale snake on one side and digging out the red color flower on the other, after more than an hour, Ye Chen's backpack already had 29 red color flowers, just one short of completing the task. However, Ye Chen was having some difficulty because around each of the remaining red color flowers there were at least three green scale snakes, and simultaneously dealing with three of them made him really lose confidence, it was almost a dead end.

  "Great System God, I need to deal with three green scale snakes at the same time. Do you have any good methods?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask the Great System God for assistance.

  "Wait a minute, querying... According to your current situation, if you want to deal with three green scale snakes at the same time, you must use the hidden properties of black fireballs and exquisite positioning skills."

  "What hidden properties does the Black Fireball have?" Ye Chen was slightly stunned, he knew about its movement, but what hidden properties it had, he really didn't know.

  "Not bad, the hidden property of Black Fireball. Actually, Black Fireball is not a fixed single-target spell. If used well, this skill can be treated as a small-scale AoE spell. If you can hit multiple monsters with Black Fireball at the same time, then all those monsters will take damage." The system's great god patiently typed out his explanation.

  "Hit several monsters at the same time?" Ye Chen somewhat understood what was going on, but still had some doubts. After all, the black fireball wasn't small, but it wasn't big either, just slightly larger than a normal person's head. How could something of that size hit several monsters?

  "Yes, as long as the operation is proper and the position is exquisite, it can be done completely. For specific situations, you can see that I have a player's combat video here, the player in the video has the same profession as yours, facing similar situations, you can refer to it." The system god said, sending a video link to Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen nodded and quickly opened the video connection, starting to watch carefully.

  The video is not long, only about four or five minutes. It's shot from a god-like perspective and it's clear that the player is a high-level expert. The player in the video is actually a beautiful woman with the nickname "Ye Liu Bo", who seems to be even more skilled than Ye Chen.

  The scene in the video is extremely similar to what Ye Chen will face, and the monsters he faces are also snake-like, but there are many more, at least a dozen or so. However, Ye Chen in the video appears very calm, moving his feet to manipulate the dozen or so snakes between his palms, and with just one black fireball passing by, several of the snake monsters suddenly lose blood.

  It wasn't until he saw this scene that Ye Chen finally understood what the Black Fireball's hidden attribute was all about. It turned out that as long as the monsters were gathered together, and a suitable attack target and angle were chosen, the Black Fireball could land on several monsters at once.

  He carefully watched the video several times, his eyes fixed intently on Ye's every move in the video, and was deeply attracted to the elegant movement and clever target selection. As he watched the monsters in the video fall one by one under the female dark priest's feet, Ye's emotions gradually became excited. Only now did he realize that dark priests could be played like this, and that they could also be so strong.

  The video was still replaying, the fleeting figure was still moving non-stop, Ye Chen's eyes gradually lit up, he felt that this short dark pastor battle video had pushed open a brand new door for him.

  Turn off the video, Ye Chen stood quietly on the spot, his mind constantly replaying the scenes from the video just now, the trajectory of the walk, the skill of choosing monsters. Ye Chen believed that even if he couldn't do it perfectly, but by imitating the cat's painting, putting down three green snakes was still possible.

  He suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and strode towards the three green snakes several meters away.

  Our Xiao Er Nai is going to show off her power now.

  "Ah."

  A few strides brought him to the edge of attacking distance, his staff swung, and a blazing black fireball accompanied by a whistling wind sound flew towards one of the green-scaled snakes.

  Boom! The black fireball landed on the Qinglin Snake's body, and a blood-red damage number instantly floated above its head - 469!

  The green snake, attacked, let out a sharp hiss and its round body suddenly darted towards Ye Chen. Two other green snakes nearby also sprang into action and charged over.

  His mind quickly replayed the trajectory and skills of the night flowing waves in the video, and Ye Chen's feet stepped on the broken steps and moved quickly. Although it looked a bit awkward and not at all elegant, the effect still appeared very quickly. The three green snakes that were closely pursuing him became shaky due to his regular movements, and within a few breaths, the three green phosphorus snakes were squeezed together, even slowing down their moving speed due to mutual compression.

  Ye Chen's face also showed a joyful expression, he quickly chanted the incantation of the black fireball, and with a wave of his staff, the black fireball shot towards the green-scaled snake in the middle with a whistling sound.

  -467, -432, -815, three consecutive blood-red damage numbers rose from the top of the head of the three green-scaled snakes, one of which even scored a critical hit.

  Awesome! Ye Chen looked at the blood bar and simultaneously dropped a large block of three green scale snakes, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his tightly clenched right fist fiercely swung in the air, with waves of excitement and agitation in his heart.

  It's not time to relax yet, Ye Chen reminded himself as he carefully controlled his pace, holding back the monster while continuously throwing out one black fireball after another. He was delighted to discover that as long as he could control the rhythm of his movements, facing three green scale snakes was actually easier than facing two.

  With a wave of the staff, the fourth black fireball was released. The three green-scaled snakes with residual blood instantly drained of all their blood and fell to the ground, wailing in agony before turning into tiny white lights that vanished into thin air.

  He picked up the small pile of silver coins that had burst out from the three green snakes, and then strode over to the red-colored flower. With a swing of his small shovel, Ye Chen dug up the last red-colored flower needed for the task.

  "Ding, you have successfully collected 30 red petals and can now return to town to hand in the trial task to Knoss."

  Haha, task accomplished. Ye Chen's mouth slightly curved upwards as he stood up and prepared to return to Lie Shan City. He was really looking forward to seeing what the alchemist could produce, and this hidden secondary occupation would become his first stepping stone to wealth.
