Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 45 First Kill Without Taking Damage
"Oh!"
-
223!

Upon receiving the command, Ling Chuan raised his arms and fired a heavy crossbow bolt at the Earth Rock Python's vital spot, the location of the snake-like monster's heart and its other weak point besides its eyes!
"Roar!"

The Earth Rock Python roared in anger after being hit, and its rapid charge suddenly stopped. After being hit by a total of six crossbow bolts, its health value had dropped by more than 1300. Although it had a passive recovery ability during the process, its health value still dropped by 18%.

It turned and glared angrily at Ling Chuan, wanting to crush this ant from the bottom of its heart, but its body was out of control at the moment, and it could only continue to rush towards Yi Han!

"Don't just stand there! Get moving!"

It wasn't Ling Chuan who spoke, but Ling Feixue. Hearing Ling Chuan's command and seeing Yi Han's actions, as the class with the easiest overall situation to observe, Ling Feixue had already figured out Ling Chuan's thoughts! So, after reminding the two lone heroes, she raised her Thorn Scepter and blocked the path of the Earth Rock Python!
Although the lone swordsman and the half-awake were still a little dazed, their first-class player skills allowed them to make the right response. They took a few steps to Ling Feixue's side, raised their weapons, and formed a living human wall with her!

The first second! The second second! The third second!
"哐——!"

The taunt effect lasted for three seconds! The three finally collided with the Earth Rock Serpent, as if struck by a boulder, their bodies and minds jolted violently as they blocked their path! Although they were not injured, the impact still caused them to freeze in place!

On the other hand, the Earth Rock Python was not frozen due to its size advantage, but when it was sprinting at full speed, it collided with an object, and its speed dropped to almost zero. Moreover, due to the compression of the collision volume, its direction of movement was also deflected!
"Follow!"

As the stiffness disappeared, Ling Feixue naturally took over the task of mobilizing the three people, holding the scepter horizontally and struggling to stop the Earth Rock Python's movement against its massive size!

Fourth second! Fifth second! Sixth second!
Three full seconds! The Earth Rock Python, which had been trapped in a quagmire, finally broke free from the three men's blockade and charged towards Yi Han again. During this process, Ling Chuan, who had reached the three men's side, used the shadow created by the human wall to take away another 460+ HP from the Earth Rock Python! At this point, the BOSS's HP was down to only three-quarters.

Looking at Yi Han again, he had already retreated to a position fifty meters away. When there was still plenty of room between him and the edge of the battle area, he resolutely stopped running, raised the Thorn Shield, turned around and stood in the same spot!

"Come on! You worm!" Yi Han mocked ruthlessly.

"Roar——————!"

The Earth Rock Python roared to the sky, and its sluggish speed once again reached its peak!

The seventh second!
Eighth second!
The ninth second!
When the taunt effect reached its ninth second, the Earth Rock Python finally arrived in front of Yi Han. Its eyes had turned from crimson to dark red, and the flowing blood made its face even more ferocious. Without the slightest hesitation or restraint, it opened its huge maw and, with a rage that could burn the Gale Forest to ashes, lunged at Yi Han!

However, facing the extremely ferocious attacks of the Earth Rock Python, Yi Han showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he was filled with calmness and confidence. He stared at the "Crimson Abyss" that was constantly approaching in his pupils and revealed a disdainful expression.

boom!
Ten seconds! The forced aggro from the taunt completely vanished! A giant crossbow bolt, shrouded in a blood-red glow, shot out and precisely pierced the neck of the Earth Rock Serpent!
-
320! !!
The terrifying weakness caused the Earth Rock Python to hang high in the air, and its health visibly decreased by a small amount!

Ling Feixue, a lone swordsman, turned around in surprise, half-asleep, and saw a figure covered in golden energy.

Ling Chuan maintained his crossbow-wielding stance, two golden arm guards, resembling divine fire, enveloped his arms, radiating boundless explosive power. On his face, a holy cross emitting a dazzling white light replaced his right eye, forming an obscure array resembling an eyepiece! At the same time, the bloody maw that had enveloped half of Yi Han's body abruptly stopped, its triangular head slowly rising, its massive body gradually turning around, its dark red eyes fixed intently on Ling Chuan, and a prominent system notification appeared before everyone in the team!
[Ding] Team battle notification: Hatred list refreshed, hatred target changed, changed target: Past Life and Present Life!
"Mother and Child Soul Chaser!"

With a deep murmur, Ling Chuan pulled the trigger. His hands throbbed with heat, and the massive crossbow, shrouded in a blood-red glow, flew out once more. This time, it wasn't targeting the Earth Rock Python's heart, but rather its battered left eye!
"boom!"

The massive crossbow bolt pierced its left eye, and the terrifying impact knocked the Earth Rock Python back. The enormous -320 floated high in the air, shocking the Lone Swordsman and the half-asleep man!
A boss with 200 defense dealing a terrifying 320 damage—that's impossible without over 400 attack power! 400+ attack power at level 12? How is that possible? And what is this change? Is this really cheating?!

Ling Chuan was in a great mood. The bonus from the level 1 Hunter God Bloodline was not significant, but the special effects were fully worthy of the 3S grade. On the contrary, the special effects of the Hunter God Skill Mother and Child Soul Chaser were extremely mediocre, but the skill power was frighteningly high. Especially when facing a single target, the exaggerated benefit of an additional 50% increase in skill damage raised his damage by several levels!
"Roar----!"

The Earth Rock Python howled helplessly, its thick body convulsing and writhing. The pain caused by the heavy blow was self-evident, so much so that it desperately lunged towards Ling Chuan.

Seeing this, Ling Chuan chuckled and used his Leap Step technique to enhance the recoil of the Mother-Child Soul Chaser. He fired a crossbow, taking away 300+ lives of the Earth Rock Python while also nimbly retreating three meters.

The afternoon sun at five o'clock stretched the shadows of the trees to their limit, almost covering half of the BOSS's territory. Three meters was enough for Ling Chuan to enter the shade of the trees. The Rhythm of Night no longer relied on shadows, and Ling Chuan's operation became more free and unrestrained.

boom!-
320!

boom!-
318!

After piercing its eyes, he switched to aiming for its vital spot. With Ling Chuan's current attack speed, his attack frequency remained around 1.5 seconds. Even so, under the penetrating power of the Hunter's Divine Skill, when the Earth Rock Python reached the human wall formed by Ling Feixue, Lone Hero, and Half-Dreaming, Ling Chuan still managed to take away 30% of its health. Combined with the previous round of damage, the Earth Rock Python's conquest was already half complete!
The Hunter God Bloodline entered its cooldown phase, and the golden aura covering Ling Chuan's body slowly dissipated, restoring the terrifying damage to its initial state. However, the shock of the lone hero, half-asleep, remained undiminished. Just as the Rock Python was about to catch up with Ling Chuan, the taunt effect, which lasted for ten seconds and had a twenty-second cooldown, had already cooled down. Yi Han, with light steps, ran over from afar and unleashed another taunt at the BOSS.

Despair! Endless despair! Even though Lone Hero and Half-Awake were players, they felt deeply aggrieved by the Earth Rock Python's predicament. This was not a strategy to defeat a BOSS; it was a cruel and merciless toy.

It was the same familiar formula, the same familiar taste. Constrained by the effect of the forced attack, the Earth Rock Python had no choice but to abandon Ling Chuan, who was right in front of it, and instead chase after Yi Han, who was fleeing backwards without any regard for his image.

And so, after two back-and-forth runs, the Earth Rock Python let out a mournful howl, lowered its proud head, and slammed it heavily onto the death tunnel stained with its own blood, scattering debris everywhere. As it died, its eyes, pierced by a giant crossbow bolt, were wide open, its face filled with resentment and hatred.

*Whoosh!* Golden light rose from everyone's bodies. Ling Chuan's experience points jumped from 10% at level 12 to 20% at level 13; Yi Han and Ling Feixue both rose to 50% at level 11; and the level 7 Gu Xia and Ban Meng Ban Xing were even more impressive, directly surpassing the level 9 mark and becoming the fourth and fifth ranked players after Ling Chuan's trio. There wasn't even time to check the items dropped by the BOSS, because the deafening system bell rang throughout the sky!
[Ding] World Announcement: Players [Past Life and Present Life], [Twilight Snow], [Yi Shui Han], [Lone Hero], and [Half-Dreaming Half-Awake] have completed the first kill of the Bronze BOSS.

Two announcements, issued six times, shook the entire Divine Revelation Continent. At this moment, no matter which newbie village they were in, no matter what they were doing, everyone stopped what they were doing, stood there blankly gazing at the sky, and finally uttered a phrase that could express a myriad of emotions even without formal education.

Holy crap!
