This was practically a snake den…
On his way charging in here, Chu You had already met 7 elite little monsters. These little monsters were all from the snake species. Although having only one person to kill the monsters was very slow, all the experience earned would go solely to Chu You alone. However what was regrettable was that no gear popped out from the seven ordinary elites.
This cave den was dark and damp, the candle in Chu You’s hands was flickering, as if it was gonna go out at any moment.
Chu You did not show any signs of worry over the candle. He continued to venture deeper into the cave.
At this moment, Chu You realized that there was some sort of liquid substance in this terrain that glowed from time to time. It looked like it was emitted from the ground. There was also a faint white smoke within these substances. Chu You knew that as long as players stepped on them, they would show signs of dropping health levels.
However, the good thing was that he could still observe the surroundings clearly. With that, Chu You threw the candle he was holding into the bag.
Not long after, a suspension bridge could be seen ahead, and a dark abyss was beneath the bridge.
Chu You also discovered that this seemed to be an underground mining cave. This was because there were signs of human labor here. For, example the suspension bridge. Ahead of it, there were traces of the remnants of construction work. Some ropes that had broken off were hanging from above. Beneath some other ropes was the bottomless dark abyss.
Opposite the bridge were two gigantic python guards. Both of them were level 5 one star elite boss level. Chu You’s expression became uneasy this instant.
Taking on two first level one star elite bosses alone? Chu You’s expression looked heavy. He furrowed his brows tightly. As long as they made any contact, both parties would only stop when one of them was dead. These brainless low intelligence elites would definitely chase you out of the level 5 experience territory. Furthermore. their stamina had no limits. They would maintain their swift mobile pursuing state throughout the game.
Chu You inhaled a deep breath. He knew that he had to bring back his pinnacle state from his previous life. Chu You had no idea if this was deriving gains from misfortunes, but when he was at his incomparable downtrodden state in his past life, Chu You practically trained like mad every day to improve his personal skills and consciousness. Not mentioning the top-notch players, but just in the eyes of the experts, Chu You’s skills were still considered adequate and pleasing to their eyes.
Carefully observing the terrain here, flashbacks of a classic video from his previous life began to replay in Chu You’s mind, as well as all the novel ways to play from the forums.
Gradually, Chu You’s mind gained some insights.
Chu You walked towards the suspension bridge one step at a time, and then with one leg, he stepped on the wooden planks on the bridge which was full of dust. The suspension bridge began to sway instantly.
Chu You took a quick glance at the other party. The two cobra guards on the opposite end of the bridge had awakened, it was just that they had not sensed Chu You’s presence yet. Directly opposite Chu You’s end of the bridge, they swayed their snake bodies from time to time, flicking out their forked tongues.
After a short while, Chu You appeared on the suspension bridge, brandishing his practice sword, throwing death glares at the little boss on the opposite end, getting closer with every step.
When Chu You entered the sensory boundary of the snakes, the two gigantic python snakes immediately scrambled to enter the suspension bridge quickly. As the passageway of the suspension bridge was not that wide, these two python snakes already caused the bridge to be jammed packed.
The swaying of the suspension bridge became more violent, and Chu You immediately stabilized his position. If it were other amateur players who had just come in contact with this place for the first time, they would have already fallen to their deaths in a situation like this.
At this moment, Chu You retreated back, and exited the suspension bridge. Not too long after, he was followed by the two python snakes who had reached here in no time as well.
Based on his past experience, Chu You knew that these two boss level python snakes would first attack with their special ability which was the Intertwine of Death.
To normal players, that scene did not just consist of serious physical injuries, but they would also suffer heavy damages mentally. Their fear factor would flood the player’s head, and when the player was too overly scared, they would be kicked out of the game forcefully by the system.
This would result in a strange phenomenon. For example, even when the player clearly had a high level and good gear, he would not dare to enter an instance or underground cave which comprised any ounce of fear element or any enigmatic maze, or solve riddles related to the instance game.
Let alone scary solo instance games.
Chu You started the running mode, and the two boss level pythons indeed unleashed their specialty attack. This time round, Chu You did not retaliate with any attacks. Instead, he turned around and ran away.
The two enormous pythons behind him were in hot pursuit of him, wanting to devour Chu You down their bellies.
Thanks to the additional strengthening of the form type, these two giant pythons failed to catch up with Chu You. Chu You speedily ran towards a stone pillar, and ran half a round, encircling the two snake heads. One of the giant pythons intertwined its body with the pillar at this instant, flicking out its forked tongue and staring coldly at Chu You’s sprinting figure. It continued to chase after him straight away.
Cornering the stone pillar for half a round, Chu You sprinted towards the suspension bridge. On the outside, this looked more like causing one’s own downfall.
Stepping on to the bridge once again, Chu You controlled his speed, with an extremely composed look. When Chu You almost reached the opposite end of the suspension bridge, the suspension bridge violently swayed, and the two bosses caught up.
Chu You leaped agilely, stepping onto the thick stone ground, and slightly tilted his head, coldly gazing at the two giant pythons who desperately refused to let go of him.
Then, Chu You walked towards the right side. There was a stone wall not too far ahead of him, and his left side extended to the depths of a place. His right side was a dark abyss.
The two gigantic pythons scuttled along the tip of the bridge. Their snake bodies were huge and strong. Arching their bodies, they looked like they could launch a fatal attack at Chu You any moment.
Looking at the two giant pythons swimming here swiftly, Chu You silently calculated internally…
When the distance between the two parties was getting shorter, Chu You started to sprint abruptly. His direction was towards the bottomless abyss of the overhanging cliff.
Both parties were very close to each other, and Chu You purposely controlled his speed. At this moment, Chu You focused his gaze and reduced his speed a little!
When Chu You had one leg stepping on the end of the overhanging cliff, one of the giant pythons behind him just entered his attacking boundary. This giant python coiled up its body and used its ability of Intertwine of Death at this instant. Its entire gigantic snake body abruptly pounced on Chu You.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, quicker than words could record. Chu You suddenly leaped towards the cliff ahead, making a suicidal move.
The giant python behind him could not control its body and it too pounced forward. Chu You stared intently at the rope dangling in the air, both his hands accurately grabbing onto this life-saving rice straw.
With the inertia, the rope in Chu You’s hands drifted him towards the opposite end of the cliff. Turning back his head, he saw that the giant python who had unleashed its skill already had its entire body out in mid-air. Its strength had been reduced. With a shriek, the giant python fell into the bottomless abyss.
The rope drifted Chu You back towards the cliff he came from naturally, and there was still a giant boss python there.
Finally, finally, finally… Chu You had waited for the moment of opportunity, and let go of the rope in both his hands, leaping towards the ground.
His legs landing on the ground steadily, behind him was an overhanging cliff.
At this instant, his experience increased a little. Chu You knew that the python who had fallen down had already plunged to its death. As a cause and effect player, the experience of that giant python had been added to Chu You’s character.
Some of the methods of playing in Heaven were especially novel. Along with the progression of the game, more and more players had been enlightened. They started to abort some traditional views and innovated and experimented brazenly in any terrains of Heaven which showed unusual signs. Any bright spots found by players could be utilized.
Now, the other giant python had locked Chu You as a target as before, when Chu You fell back. It once again launched its attack.
Given the fact that only a boss level giant python was left, Chu You felt so much more relieved internally. He wielded his practice sword and started to actually fight it.
The terrain here was not really put to good use. After drinking a bottle of medicine potion for micro-treatment, Chu You successfully killed off the giant python.
A flash of light was emitted, and Chu You had levelled up to level 5. He immediately put on the gear from his space bag, immediately throwing away his amateur clothing and changing into his breastplate which could defeat all. He put on the elegant snakeskin gloves, and wore the spider ring. He had also thrown away his weapons, and took out his pure white sword, learning his Execution skillset straightaway.
The first set of skills finally appeared in Chu You’s skills system.
Looking at the empty corpse which did not pop out any gear, Chu You continued to walk towards the depths. As for whether any gear popped out from the python which fell into the dark abyss, only the system knew.
Ultimately, Chu You arrived at the deepest depths, and he halted his steps.
One figure who was about as tall as Chu You was there. That was a monster with a human head and snake body. In its hands was a magic staff.
The ugly Thousand Grave Witch, level 5.
Two-star elite.
Type: boss level. Health: 3000/3000.
As he looked at the statistics, the brand new Chu You slightly frowned, as the outdoor boss of the magic series was even harder to defeat. His fighting style from before was totally useless now.
Silently, Chu You added the 5 unrestrained attribute points from his promotion to his stamina +3 and intelligence +2 respectively.
As of now, Chu You’s properties were namely Strength:45, Agility:14, Intelligence: 17, Stamina: 34, Health: 800, Magic value: 220, Attacking strength: 77, Accuracy of hit: 21, Critical hit: 11, Fatality: 17%, Magic defense:13, Sensory awareness: 13, Attacking speed: 14, Speed of movement: 13.
Chu You’s biological defense +6.
Bosses from the magic series, as for the specialty of the outdoor Boss, Chu You still knew a bit about. He could never outrun the other party, and his speed of movements would never outdo the other party. Besides, the fatality of a normal attack of a Boss from the magic series was very high. As for the lowest level of outdoor Boss, Chu You could no longer recall their speed of attack.
But one thing he could confirm was that the biological defense of the magic series Bosses was slightly weaker. Their skin was not that thick. The specialty of its basic attack should be a Light Energy Ball, as it was a low level Boss, after all. If he could manage this portion well, he could hide. However, what was scary was the skills of the other party, as the fatality of the skills of the Bosses from the magic series were high enough to drive someone to his death.
In his past life, Chu You had never fought an outdoor Boss alone before. Not that he did not want to, but there was simply no opportunity for him to do so.
Now, the chance had arrived.
He immediately sat down to recover back to his human state, Chu You was slightly anxious internally. Looking at the Boss sitting inside, Chu You couldn’t help but lick his lips.
Worst comes to worst, it would just be another death. It was not like he would lose any experience or gear during the amateur period. What was there to fear?
Looking at his optimum condition, Chu You got up, and pulled out his Pure White Sword. His expression as deep as water, he walked towards the first ever outdoor Boss he had met in this lifetime.
