Black Bear and Gnome Warlock were both elite monsters. The former was only one level higher than the latter, but it had 320 HP. It was unbelievable.
Generally speaking, an ordinary black bear weighs about 200 kilograms and is about two meters long. This black bear was more than three meters long and weighed 400 kilograms. Even when it was crawling, it was taller than a normal person's chest. Its black fur was shiny, its limbs were strong, and its destructive power was unquestionable.
"This kind of monster with thick skin and high HP is not as difficult to deal with as the Gnome Warlock." Zhang Mu turned to Qin Min and asked," But before we make a move, we have to eliminate the danger first. Have you scouted the surrounding terrain clearly?"
Qin Min said," Yes, there are woods nearby. There is a river in the northwest direction. There is no obvious danger within 500 meters."
Fatty volunteered." Elite monsters can drop items. We can't waste them. Boss, I think it's a test. Let me go first!"
He had probably leveled up continuously and obtained a superhuman physique, so his confidence had increased greatly. Fatty took the initiative to ask for orders. However, fighting elite monsters was indeed a form of training. Zhang Mu agreed. For safety reasons, he asked Sun Bing to assist him.
Fatty brought Sun Bing along and stood up from the bushes to walk towards the bear. The black bear stopped in front of a big tree and was peeling bark to find insects or ants to feed itself. No two people were found near it. At this moment, Fatty suddenly accelerated his pace and used his ultimate move, Brutal Charge!
The black bear heard the sound, roared and turned around, only to be hit head-on. The impact that Fatty brought was not inferior to a rhino collision. The black bear was directly hit by a tree. The skin of the tree cracked open, and countless leaves fell. The loud noise startled a nearby bird.
Even though it was loud, the black bear only lost 21 HP. Fatty swung his axe and slashed, cutting open the thick fur on the black bear's chest, causing considerable damage.
"Roar!"
The bear was furious like thunder. With a ferocious roar, its hind legs stomped on the ground and pounced forward. Fatty was standing too close, so it had no time to dodge. The bear pressed him to the ground and bit open the tough leather armor on his shoulder. Fortunately, the leather armor protected him. Otherwise, the bear would have torn off Fatty's arm entirely. Even so, Fatty's HP was decreasing at a rate of several points per second. He roared loudly, raised his axe with one hand, and chopped the black bear's head madly, causing the black bear to bleed.
Sun Bing quickly used a taunt. Black Bear gave up on Fatty and turned around to rush towards him. Sun Bing was not like Fatty, who lacked the ruthlessness to risk his life. Therefore, when facing the black bear, he was a little at a loss. He only subconsciously used the skill " Petrified Skin ". The color of his skin quickly deepened, turning it into a grayish-black stone texture.
Black Bear stood up and slapped his palm. Sun Bing blocked the attack with his shield and staggered back half a meter. His left arm went numb. Due to his petrified skin, he could not feel any pain at all.
He only lost 5 HP!
His defense was indeed strong!
Sun Bing's confidence increased greatly. 5 HP was nothing to him. Just as he was about to raise his hammer and smash it at the black bear, the black bear pounced on him again. He almost stood up and slapped both palms at the same time. The huge force landed on the shield, and Sun Bing fell to the ground and rolled two meters away. His whole body was covered in fallen leaves, and he was in a very sorry state.
The black bear pounced, and Sun Bing was pressed down before he could get up. His shield also fell to one side.
Reality was different from virtual games. In computer games, players equipped with powerful weapons would immediately increase their damage steadily and become powerful DPS. As long as they wore high-defense armor, they would immediately be as stable as Mount Tai and become a powerful tank to defend against bosses for their teammates.
Not here.
Those who defend against heights may not be qualified as meat shields. Those with high attack might not be able to deal powerful damage. Attack and defense were very important.[Strength],[Agility],[Constitution],[Spirit] and other attributes also had a decisive influence. A kitchen knife would not be able to display its power in the hands of a three-year-old child. No matter how good the equipment was, no matter how high the attack defense was, if the attributes could not keep up, then it would not be able to display its power at all. If the attributes were high, even if the equipment was average, it could still cause decent damage.
As a meat shield, Sun Bing's defense might be about the same, but his physique was obviously not high enough. The black bear's strength was too great, so he was easily knocked to the ground.
Fatty roared and rushed forward. He swung his axe and left three or four wounds on the black bear's back. Blood dyed its black fur red. Fatty's Strength and Attack were not bad, but the black bear's HP was too thick, and it still had 85% HP left.
The black bear gave up on attacking Sun Bing and lunged at Fatty. Fatty had the previous experience, so he carefully maintained his distance and avoided biting him. He used the axe to leave a deep wound on his abdomen. The black bear failed to pounce, but Fatty's evasion was clumsy and full of flaws. The black bear slapped his chest. Its strength was too great. Although it had leather armor protection, it still dealt close to 20 damage. Fatty's HP dropped below 50% and several ribs were broken.
Sun Bing hurriedly attacked the black bear to distract it temporarily. Fatty was ruthless enough. Although his nose and mouth were bleeding, he kept swinging his axe to attack. The two sides fought for two to three minutes, and the black bear had 70% HP left. The two of them were heavily injured, so they were not a match for the black bear.
Zhang Mu whispered," With their equipment and skills, they can defeat the black bear. They just don't know how to cooperate. They don't know how to use their advantages and master the attack rhythm of the monsters."
Leng Yun nodded thoughtfully.
Qin Min said,"Captain Wood, fat uncle is dying!"
Zhang Mu took out his dagger." I'll deal with it. Watch carefully. This monster is actually very weak."
Zhang Mu jumped out of the bushes and stepped on a tree trunk lying horizontally on the side. He activated Speed Skating and rushed out along the tree trunk. Sun Bing, who was retreating from the fierce attack of the black bear, suddenly heard a voice from the side. He immediately turned his head to look. Zhang Mu jumped up with great strength and flew toward the black bear from above like a roc spreading its wings.
The black bear did not let out a roar. The dagger was thrown in the air and inserted into its eye. Regardless of strength or attack, Zhang Mu was inferior to Fatty. However, a single critical point attack was enough to take 10% of Black Bear's health. The black bear covered its eyes and wailed as it retreated.
Zhang Mu quickly pulled out his short sword. His sword shadow flashed and he continuously slashed at it. Several attacks seemed to flow smoothly, causing a series of damage. Taking advantage of the black bear's momentum of retreat, he expanded the battle results. The black bear was blinded in its right eye, perhaps injured in its brain, and the disgusting tissue flowed out of its eye socket. However, it would not die until its life was zero.
The black bear stabilized its body and launched a ferocious counterattack. Zhang Mu nimbly evaded the attack and hid in the blind spot before skillfully drawing out his sword. Black Bear was beaten until he lost all his temper. He had been hit by sixteen or seventeen sword strikes. His entire body was covered in blood, and his HP was left with more than 40%. From the beginning to the end, he had not been hit by Zhang Mu at all.
"Oh!"
When its HP dropped to 30%, the black bear roared crazily. Its body expanded like it was inflated, its black fur glowed faintly red, and it was filled with a violent aura from head to toe.
" There's actually a berserk skill?"
Black Bear activated Berserk. Agility, Strength, and Attack all increased greatly. Not to mention Strength and Attack, even Agility was not inferior to Zhang Mu now. However, Zhang Mu did not panic at all because he completely grasped the black bear's battle rhythm. He always evaded the moment before he attacked. He retreated into the forest and used rocks and trees to block the black bear's movements. He suddenly seized an opportunity to stab the other eye with his sword.
In the end, the black bear, which was covered in bruises, fell to the ground wailing and dropped an item.
Zhang Mu picked it up and saw that his luck was good. It was a piece of clothing.
[Bearskin Armor](Normal Black Iron), Level 5, Physical Damage Reduction +6, Magic Damage Reduction +3, Max HP +5, Durability 20/20.
This was a Level 5 Black Iron equipment, so its attributes were higher than Fatty's leather armor. However, due to its level, it could not be used for the time being. Zhang Mu killed the black bear and gained most of the experience points. His experience points increased to about 50%, which was basically double that of the others.
Zhang Mu put the leather armor into the player's backpack and waited until Level 5 before using it.
Leng Yun helped Fatty and Sun Bing heal their injuries.
Fatty's face was full of admiration as he said,"This bear is much more powerful than ordinary monsters. It really hurts!" However, Boss is too amazing. He actually managed to take care of it like a joke."
Zhang Mu was a little tired after a battle." Do you understand?"
Leng Yun's bright eyes flashed. She nodded and said," I understand a little. But without your skills, I might not be able to fight."
" The key is to cultivate the awareness of battle. As long as one has a strong enough awareness, one can hone one's skills very quickly." Zhang Mu paused for a moment and continued," Your class is an Elementalist. Your combat style is different from that of a physical melee class. However, the consciousness of a strong person is universal. Remember the feeling of fighting and grasp the rhythm of your attacks. Then, you can easily defeat an enemy who looks stronger."
Everyone was deep in thought.
In this battle, Fatty's performance was not bad. He had the style of a Berserker, fierce and fierce. He had suffered losses and knew how to adjust his combat style. Sun Bing was also not satisfactory. At least when Fatty encountered danger, he would pull away the aggro of the monsters in time.
A true expert was honed in life and death. Zhang Mu only instilled some thoughts in advance. As for whether he could survive or not, it was not a matter that he could control.
Zhang Mu tidied up and said," The smell of blood will cause trouble. We can't stay long. Let's go!"
Just as the five of them were about to leave, an urgent voice suddenly came from the northeast.
"Something is approaching!"
Suddenly, a group of eight or nine people rushed out of the forest. There were men and women. Each of them was covered in bruises. Their clothes were cut by the thorns in the forest. Everyone had a look of fear on their faces. They were running with all their might, as if they were being chased by something terrifying.
"Ow!"
A gray figure jumped over a lush bush and flew towards her. She bit a woman. She was in her twenties and had a good figure. She was quite pretty. When the monster bit her shoulder, she immediately screamed and fell to the ground. A few similar monsters rushed up and tore her into three parts in less than two seconds. Her internal organs and blood splattered all over the forest. The scene was extremely bloody.
This monster was about 90 centimeters tall and had a long tail. It was more than three meters tall from head to toe. Its forelimbs were short and sharp, and it ran with strong hind limbs. Its eyes were cold and its mouth was full of sharp teeth. Its appearance was exactly the same as the legendary Deinonychus!
Fatty shouted,"Damn it, it's a dinosaur!"
[Deinonychus](Bronze Elite), Level 7, HP 450, MP 200, Attributes??? Skill???
A Level 7 Bronze Elite monster!
The number was unknown, but it seemed that there were more than ten of them!
At this moment, another middle-aged man pounced on him. The Deinonychus 'sharp claws cut open his stomach. The man's internal organs flowed all over the ground. His whole body was covered in blood, but he did not die. He struggled desperately and screamed miserably," Ah! Help me! Help me! Please, save…"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was already dismembered by the fierce Deinonychus on the spot.
Zhang Mu's expression changed drastically. He immediately shouted,"Run!"
No suspense!
They were merely Level 4 players. No matter what, they couldn't defeat a group of Level 7 Bronze Elite monsters!
Deinonychus was a Level 7 Bronze Elite with average Defense and HP. It was a monster with speed. At this stage, it was impossible for players to outrun Deinonychus. If they were blinded by fear and focused on fleeing in panic, they would only end up being killed by Deinonychus!
Zhang Mu's mind raced. He suddenly thought of something." There's a river in the northwest. Deinonychus can't swim!"
Everyone grabbed onto the straw and ran northwest.
There was a middle-aged woman who was exhausted and was eventually caught up by the Deinonychus, tearing off a piece of flesh from her abdomen. The middle-aged woman screamed and fell to the ground. In just a moment, she was chewed into a pile of minced meat.
Everyone was scared to death.
At this moment, a Deinonychus sneaked in from the flank and suddenly inserted itself in the middle of the group. With a powerful kick of its hind legs, it pounced on Leng Yun's backpack and grabbed it. She was thrown to the ground, and more Deinonychus rushed up from behind.
