Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 333: Bombarding the Squid (12 more chapters)

Zero One Zero's occupation is Blessing Master. The reason for this number is that Blessing Master was the tenth character confirmed during the game development, and the same applies to the account names of other GMs.

As a blessing master, no matter how good her equipment is, her output ability is difficult to meet the standard. It is difficult for her to kill the quest players and obtain the quest items like other GMs.

Their GM is so powerful that he naturally doesn't need her assistance. It would be a complete waste of resources to strengthen him further.

So she was assigned a different task - to use special props to control sea monsters and block the entry of players and NPCs on the route to the mysterious sea.

Preventing players from entering is to protect them from being harmed by program bugs; preventing NPCs from entering is to prevent data changes in the area and to fix bugs as soon as possible.

This was a relatively easy job, since no one had ever gone to the mysterious sea area...until today, when a case had occurred on the route she was guarding.

There are more than 30 players on the ship... This is a lot of people. If they rush into the mysterious sea all at once, who knows what kind of trouble will happen.

Zero One Zero immediately dispatched the Apostle Squid to prepare to sink the Dolphin.

The special item she possesses is an epic item called "Whisper of the Seagod". It looks like a conch horn, and through it, she can randomly summon an epic BOSS whose level is lower than hers to serve her.

If obtained by players, Whisper of the Seagod will be weakened and can only summon Dark Gold BOSS with a time limit; however, if the item is in the hands of a super account, it will not be weakened in balance, so it can summon epic BOSS, not only without a time limit, but also able to control the actions of the BOSS.

However, the summoned epic BOSS did not completely listen to her, and she could only influence the BOSS's actions indirectly.

Like this time, the impact failed.

The squid went after people, the Dolphin got away, and more than 30 players are about to enter the mysterious sea!
The key is that the squid can't deal with this player for a while...

Spore #4432.

A familiar name.

A few days ago, Ling Ling Er was killed by this person and was ridiculed by their GM group. She didn't expect that she would be defeated by this person today.

"How come he, a beast tamer, can move faster than an epic boss in the sea?"

The Apostle Squid had been kite-ed by Su Ming for a long time and had lost 50 health points.

In Su Ming's opinion, the Apostle Squid is very dangerous, and he has to keep an eye on his skills at all times, as he doesn't know when they will appear. However, Ling Yi Ling knows that the Apostle Squid is a BOSS specialized in general attacks and does not have any special skills.

It relies on its powerful basic attributes to reach the standard of an epic BOSS. What's more, it has ten tentacles, which means ten times the damage. If it can touch someone, even without any skills, it is still a powerful existence and no one in the front row can withstand it.

The point is, it can't be touched now.

The Apostle Squid was not completely without any chances. It was just that Su Ming used various skills to escape danger several times.

"If this continues, he will accomplish the achievement of single-handedly defeating an epic boss."

Ling Yi Ling directly turned on the "Authority Eye" to scan Su Ming's equipment. After learning about Su Ming's limits, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The BOSS isn't that bad, let me take a look."

A hole appeared in the head of the Apostle Squid, and Zero-One-Zero crawled out from inside with his upper body. He raised the platinum-colored scepter and released the "Accelerated Blessing".

Her legendary weapon, the Archangel Staff, allows her to cast skills on anything, not just monsters, but also buildings if she wants...

The Apostle Squid suddenly felt much lighter. Just like before, it was confused, but it didn't think about it and focused on what it wanted to do - kill Su Ming.

After chasing for a long time without success, it became a little angry, and its hatred towards Su Ming accumulated to a very high level.

For high-level monsters, the aggro mechanism is slightly different - the proportion of damage is reduced, and it depends more on the interaction between the player and the monster, or their own AI judgment.

Regarding this difference, many players have discovered it after their levels increased.

As I joked before, using "Hey! Grandson!" to taunt and attract hatred may really become a good way to attract hatred...

The change of hatred mechanism has both advantages and disadvantages for players. However, as long as the mechanism still exists, it does not deviate from the scope of the game, and players will definitely be able to make use of it.

Su Ming felt the pressure of the sea water behind him increase. He didn't need to look back, because the three pets had already given feedback, letting Su Ming know that the squid had accelerated.

"Did you finally use your skills?"

Su Ming was puzzled before. An epic BOSS like this, even with 1/10 of its health taken away, was still chasing him foolishly without any other movement. This made him nervous and thought that the squid was holding back a big move.

Now that the squid has accelerated, he finally feels a little relieved.

It's just a status skill, no big deal.

Through private messages, Su Ming knew more than ten minutes ago that Venus was going to drive the Dolphin back to fight the squid. Now, after the coordinates were calibrated, the two were very close.

"Master! The squid is less than 50 yards away from you!" Xiao Hei reminded Su Ming.

"I see."

Su Ming took out a special-effect swiftness potion and drank it. His speed increased again. While circling with the squid, he directed Dandan to leave the ocean in advance and meet him on the sea.

After the eggs were in place, Su Ming adjusted his position and floated upward at a 45-degree angle in the sea water, using buoyancy to further increase his speed.

"Sister Venus, I'm going to bring the squid to the surface." Su Ming communicated with Venus. He turned his head to look at the squid that followed him up. After simulating the follow-up situation in his mind, he marked the point on the team map and sent a message, "Fight at this position."

Wow!
Su Ming leaned out of the sea, and the sound of heavy rain and strong wind instantly filled his ears!

The giant squid rose rapidly beneath him, pushing the surrounding water upward.

"Roar!"

A not-so-powerful dragon roar came from above Su Ming. Dandan, who had been waiting there for a long time, flew over, grabbed Su Ming's shoulders with his claws, and lifted him out of the water.

The squid's head poked out from the sea surface, extending four or five tentacles and rolling towards Su Ming.

"Roar!"

Dandan roared again and sprayed dragon breath downwards.

As a dragon, its skills have a high priority and the control effect is excellent. Transparent ice crystals spread from the tips of its tentacles to the surrounding sea water, helping Su Ming delay a little time.

Then, a sound louder than thunder erupted from the sea.

That was the roar of the Dolphin.

42 guns fired at the same time, and the shells rained down on the squid's head.
-
24123…-21652…

In addition to the shells, there are also players' skills. With Su Ming's advance marking, the skills are easier to hit. Although the damage is not high, with more than a dozen players bursting out in one round, it is almost equivalent to two or three shells.

The squid's body was tilted by the cannon and started to burn, but it was quickly extinguished by the heavy rain, and billowing black smoke rose up.

Zero One Zero was so scared that he hid in the body of the Apostle Squid. He used his Sky Eye to check the properties of the Dolphin. Looking at the warehouse with millions of RMB worth of artillery shells, he was speechless:
"This Venus is also a freak. She has too much money and doesn't know where to spend it. Are you here to play games or to fight a war? You're crazy. You put so much ammunition."

After one round of salvos, the Apostle Squid lost nearly 1/5 of its health. It steadied itself, ignored Su Ming, dived into the sea, and rushed towards the Dolphin.

"Dan Dan, let go!"

Su Ming fell freely from the air and crashed into the ocean. A string of bubbles gurgled out of the corners of his mouth. He swam rapidly and quickly came to the eyes of the Apostle Squid.

Generally speaking, attacking the BOSS's weaknesses can cause more hatred, and frequency is more important than damage at this time.

Su Ming used the master protection skill to pull Zuoemon over, and asked Xiao Hei to open the bubble gun and start attacking the big eyes.

The Apostle Squid's eyes suddenly turned and he stared at Su Ming motionlessly.

Su Ming was not only not afraid, but also somewhat happy:
"Success! The hatred has been attracted back."

Su Ming immediately swam upwards, activated the skill of his deep-sea combat boots, sprayed a stream of ink onto his big eyes, and ejected himself from the water...

The squid came out just like last time, intending to attack Su Ming.

At this time, the Dolphin had turned 180 degrees and aimed the muzzle of the other side at it.

boom!
The cannon roared again, knocking down the squid that wanted to attack Su Ming.

Su Ming and the Dolphin covered each other and used artillery to deal with the Apostle Squid. If it were in reality, or if the squid was timid, the squid might have run away.

But this is a game, and the hatred mechanism is a law that monsters cannot cross.

The Apostle Squid's little brain can only choose a target between the Dolphin and Su Ming.

After two more salvos, which took no more than five minutes in total, the epic squid was almost dead.

Ling Yi Ling became anxious, and stretched out her staff to heal the Apostle Squid. Her skills and equipment all had a percentage of healing effect, and when used on the BOSS, the effect was explosive.

However, when she emerged from the squid's body and released her skills, Su Ming, who was caught by Dandan, saw it all...

Su Ming looked at Ling Yi Ling's long hair sticking out of the jar, and several question marks appeared on his head:

"Jar...sister?"
