Chapter 12: The Snake Catcher

The sound of splashing water came from far away.

Su Ming met up with Xiao Hei and took away the torch that Xiao Hei was carrying.

"Master, that person is still chasing me and will be here soon."

"Well, let me take a look at the situation first." Su Ming fed Xiao Hei two pieces of cake to replenish its condition.

Because Xiao Hei was hurt, Su Ming received a battle message. Through the battle message, Su Ming knew that the monster chasing Xiao Hei was called Snake Catcher.

Is it an NPC? Or a monster?

In the world of "Fate", humans may also be infected by "evil spirit" and become irrational monsters, and they are generally above the elite level.

In the firelight, a hunched figure appeared, his long hair stuck together in pieces, covering his face in shadow. He wrapped a decapitated poisonous snake around his neck as a scarf, and held a rusty sickle in his hand with fresh blood on it.

That doesn't look like a normal person.

If you want to determine whether he is infected, just look at his eyes. The snake catcher's eyes are red, which means he is infected.

Since it's a monster, there's no pressure in dealing with it.

Su Ming raised his hand and shot a magic ball at the snake catcher who was rushing over, and obtained the snake catcher's detailed information.

Level 8 bronze boss, with 2000 health points.

Su Ming's normal attack can cause 40 to 50 points of damage to him.

The damage is low and the level is no more than level 8. Su Ming thinks he can fight it. After all, he has Xiao Hei who can hold the front line.

"Xiao Hei, you go hold him back and I'll do the damage." Su Ming said.

Xiao Hei is a defensive pet. Without any skills, Xiao Hei's output is actually not as high as Su Ming's.

Xiao Hei jumped in front of the snake catcher, and the snake catcher chopped down with his sickle, causing more than 200 damage. The damage was a bit high, and Xiao Hei couldn't resist it for long.

So he couldn't resist head-on. Under Su Ming's command, relying on the control effects of scolding and mucus explosions, the number of effective attacks inflicted by the snake catcher was greatly reduced, and he was never able to break through Xiao Hei to attack Su Ming.

The snake catcher's health drops to 20%. A boss with low health represents danger, and the boss will release powerful skills for a desperate fight.

At this time, experienced players will either take precautions in advance or focus their fire to kill the BOSS instantly.

However, Su Ming didn't know about this. He dodged, attacked, and gave control. He was fully focused and organized the attack according to his own rhythm.

Seeing that Xiao Hei's health was too low and the "Pet Food" had not yet cooled down, Xiao Hei was asked to retreat first:

"I'll hold on for a while. Xiao Hei, come back when your health recovers to 20%. Then I can feed you cake."

Xiao Hei only has 15% of his health now, and he can't take a single hit. He needs to recover to 20% before he can fight the enemy again, which will take about ten seconds.

"Good host."

Su Ming and Xiao Hei were already very skilled at switching positions. One man and one pet approached each other and exchanged positions in between the snake catchers' attacks.

After Su Ming was stabbed, he immediately drank the prepared primary life potion to increase his blood volume. Otherwise, with his blood volume, he would die after being stabbed for the second time.

After getting close to the monster, Su Ming no longer dared to attack.

When he tried to dodge monster attacks before, he succeeded six out of ten times. It was not too high, but not too low either. It was the best if he could dodge them, but it was okay if he couldn't. With the help of life potions, he could take another hit. By then, the cooldown of the Scolding would be over, and he would have 1 to 2 more hits to tolerate.

In short, in Su Ming's eyes, the snake catcher is just a pile of copper coins.

"I hate light!" The snake catcher suddenly stopped attacking and shouted loudly.

Three balls of black mist flew out from the snake catcher's hands, flying towards Su Ming and the two torches lit in the snake cave respectively. The torches were covered by the black mist and extinguished.

Su Ming was also hit and fell into a blind state.

The sound of a sickle cutting through the air was heard.

"Oh no." Su Ming's mind went blank in the darkness. The sudden black fog completely disrupted his rhythm. There was almost no interval between the black fog and ordinary attacks, and the cooling of the scolding had not yet ended!

He was dead.

"Owner!"

Xiao Hei rushed out from behind Su Ming and was hacked to death. Before he died, he released a sticky liquid to buy time for Su Ming.

The blinding state disappeared, but Su Ming was still in darkness.

The news of the pet's death from the system calmed Su Ming down, and he immediately shouted forward.

pat pat pat.

The sound of the snake catcher retreating reached his ears.

He raised his wolf-bone wand and fired a magic ball into the darkness.

By the sound, he was sure that his attack had hit.

"The direction is correct." Su Ming muttered to himself. Suddenly, the rhythm of the sound of stepping on water became faster.

"Strange, the snake catcher has already gotten out of his fear state before the one-second time is up?"

Su Ming didn't know that the monster would release skills, nor did he know that the monster had control resistance, but this time he didn't panic.

"The direction is correct." He repeated it again, took out a potion from his pocket and drank it, then stepped back, creating some distance, and shot another magic ball.

brush!
Su Ming reacted almost the moment the snake catcher's sickle appeared. He squatted down to avoid the attack, swung his staff, and threw out a magic ball, taking away the last bit of the snake catcher's blood.

"I won." Su Ming sat on the ground, his heart pounding.

"Oh, right, Xiao Hei." Su Ming lit the torch and opened the pet column. Xiao Hei's experience dropped by half a level, his loyalty dropped by 10 points, and there was a 5-minute resurrection countdown.

Looking at the small black and gray image, Su Ming didn't even want to pick up the silver coins not far away. He just sat there and waited.

When the five minutes were up, he immediately summoned Xiao Hei, hugged it and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Hei, I got you killed."

"It wasn't the master who killed me. I died protecting the master. You don't have to apologize." Xiao Hei enjoyed Su Ming's embrace, and his loyalty level increased back to 100 after he said that.

The ten points that are deducted are mandatory deductions when the pet dies.

It seems that the reason why Xiao Hei's loyalty is 100 points is because his loyalty is only 100 points.

"Alright, alright, master, stop rubbing it. The snake catcher has been dead for five minutes, why haven't you picked up the things he dropped yet?"

"I wanted to summon you out earlier, so I didn't want to pick you up."

Xiao Hei's body swelled up with joy.

"Pick it up quickly, pick it up quickly." Xiao Hei urged.

So Su Ming put Xiao Hei down and went to pick up things.

As a bronze BOSS, the snake catcher was very generous. He gave Su Ming 8 silver coins and a bronze equipment.

Snake Catcher's Scythe (LV8, Bronze):

+18~26 physical attack power

+4 power
+9 Dexterity
Occupational requirements: Rogue, Ranger.

Since it was not an equipment that Su Ming could use, Su Ming threw the sickle to Xiao Hei, who happened to be able to digest a piece of bronze equipment.

Xiao Hei happily swallowed the sickle.

System: Your pet Xiao Hei devoured a piece of equipment, increasing its health by 200 points, armor and magic resistance by 5 points.

"Master, I have become stronger and can help you block more attacks in the future!" Xiao Hei said.

Su Ming squatted down, touched Xiao Hei's smooth body and said:
"I will also command the battle better and will not let you die."
