Chapter 179
‘Damn, this isn’t a bear scorpion! This is a bear thousand pounder! o(╯□╰)o。” QuietlyHumming was the first to react. He stared mouth wide open at the approaching shadow. StartlingLeaves was also shocked. He had amazing wreckage power. It made sense for him to be such a strong beast.
“Stop halting. Prepare your positions.” ThousandWaitingFlames very calming took in the scene. He quickly estimated the distance between the two of them and all potential problems before making a decision. “Let’s go by our usual team model. Let’s have XunMi and YuFan lead the main attack.” Two big bosses should have no trouble holding back the Bear Scorpion. The rest planned on assisting and sneak attacking from the back. They would be fine as long as the grab the Bear Scorpion’s blood source. XunMi didn’t have an opinion on the matter. She was OP. As long as she swung her flute over, she could guarantee this Bear Scorpion would lose at least 100 of his HP. If she did her power move, it would lose at least a half of its blood. That was what happened when she was the big OP bug in this game. Moreover, the game was made for her anyways. She calmly pulled Si YuFan to the front of the battle lines. The two jumped up onto a tree and waited for the bear scorpion to appear.
ThousandWaitingFlames had the other members stand in their places.
The Beast Scorpion roared into view. When he saw the floor littered with his little demon beasts, his eyes watered and screeched out up at the sky. His screech almost made the team’s ears bleed and faint.
XunMi and Si YuFan worked harmoniously to attack- one attacked the face and one attacked the legs.
The Bear Scorpion’s entire body was hard like steel. There were only two weak spots – one above the knees and another on the eyes. Even his skull was thicker than his knees. His HP was too high, they could only look for weak spots.
The rest of the people in the back had an easy task, as the two main attackers and the hatred draggers StartlingLeaves and XuanYuan Demon were doing their jobs. Within four minutes, the Bear Scorpion’s HP was annihilated down to 30%. XunMi looked for the right time. She sent a Smiling Flower attack over. The entire sky danced with flower petals that swirled down around the Bear Scorpion, endlessly whirling in front of his face. Bear Scorpion, just listening to the name could let you know that this animal had immense strength. Its senses were focused on finding its opponents’ smell and sound. Now that there were distracting him, his powerful nose had become less useful. A crisp and mellow flute sounded, its melody not too fast and not too slow. The Bear Scorpion’s hearing also became numbed down by the sudden distraction.
Si YuFan’s silver blade sliced forward. He fiercely striked right down through its two eyes. Blood splattered out.
“Screech…Screech..” The Bear Scorpion painfully called out. But no matter where he ran, the flower petals continued to chase him. The beautiful melody of the flute also became more and more ear-piercing. Suddenly, the flower petals became sharp edged blades that flew straight into his weak kneecaps. “Screech…” Thud. Its screams shook the earth. Its kneecap split open. Unable to support its large body, the Bear Scorpion could only fall helplessly. In the process, he smacked into a large tree. He bounced off the tree, with his head crashing straight to the ground. The blood flowing from his eyes began to flow out even faster.
“Geez…I’m so tired. Why does this Bear Scorpion have so much HP?” StartlingLeaves plopped his butt on the ground while looking at the blue bar above the Bear Scorpion’s body. He couldn’t do this anymore. How did it have 300 more HP? Goddamnit!
QuietlyHumming was also standing with a face of desperation. After fighting tooth and nail for so long, they found out that the fight still wasn’t over. The armory that they had gotten for their work so far were only uncommon, not rare. Taking them wasn’t very useful. If they wanted to get the Prosperous Moon costume that sat at the top of the ranking charts, they needed to completely deplete the Bear Scorpion’s HP. But who can tell him, how exactly were they supposed to do that? It wasn’t like they could just throw a few swords at it. _(:зゝ∠)_
“If this was easy, then this wouldn’t be the Bear Scorpion. What about we tried to do a power group move and see if that’s effective?” QuietlyHumming thought for a second. Although he didn’t have much hope for it, it was better than nothing. Moreover, he had noticed that the Bear Scorpion’s HP had been slowly recovering. This kind of OP ability was really making him want to pull out his hair.
XunMi was a bit confused. Why did they think such an easy task was going to be hard? She walked forward and pulled out a slim sharp sword. Sss! It was the sound of skin and meat being sliced open.
When XunMi pulled back, the Bear Scorpion’s body and head had completely separated.
The other members stood with the mouths open looking at XunMi. They didn’t know this was an option!
[WorldAnnouncements] Congratulations XunMi, Si Handsome, QuietlyHumming, ThousandWaitingFlames, StartlingLeaves, XuanYuan Demon, and BeautifulDemon for successfully defeating the Bear Scorpion beast.
The 0 HP above the Bear Scorpion’s head along with the world announcements was truly eye-catching. Most importantly, they really could just kill these high levelled beasts with a few sword slashes!
“We’ve got it. Startling, this is what I promised you. The rest you guys can decide what to do with them yourself. I don’t need anything.” XunMi bent down to pick up something wrapped up in white. Inside was the reward for today’s efforts.
StartlingLeaves blankly received the package, still a little bit out of it. It felt like he was dreaming. Everyone that had tried never got anything. Meanwhile, he followed along one time and suddenly gained everything.
Si YuFan was also uninterested with the reward. He grabbed XunMi’s hand and pulled her to the side to rest. His XunMi had used a lot of energy just now. She must be very tired.
As the team’s military leader, ThousandWaitingFlames was usually in charge of distributing rewards. This time was no different. He took out the nine-section whip that StartlingLeaves’ wife would find useful and gave it to her. He put the rest of the items away. They didn’t need them right now.
“Um…” Before QuietlyHumming could finish, he was distracted by sudden noise. The team simultaneously turned the heads towards the sound and saw a group walking closer: two women and four men.
XunMi rubbed her chin while leaning into Si YuFan’s chest, watching the newcomers with interest. Had the female lead been preparing to fight the Bear Scorpion? But didn’t the junior sister already split from them? Why did they look like their relationship was good again? Very interesting.
“Miss Xun, Master Si Handsome. What a coincidence. We meet again!” The Lonely Scholar first froze for a moment after seeing XunMi and Co. but then walked forward to greet them.
XunMi calmly turned to put her attention on the junior sister. She felt that there was demon energy on her. But if she remembered correctly, this junior sister was a mage from the immortal realm. So was this an example of hatred forming due to love, causing her to fall into demon realm? It looked like this time’s information harvest was pretty great. She applauded herself.
“Are you also here to fight the Bear Scorpion? You’re late by one step. Tomorrow, when the game resets, you can try again.”
