Chapter 18: A Flash of Inspiration and an Alternative Use of the Golden Finger

"boom!"

A huge boom exploded in the wide alley, and the ground shook slightly.

His thunderous kick knocked the pirate leader unconscious, and many pirates around him who were at level 10 were almost dead. Then Zhang Qing, who had accumulated strength long ago, blasted a fireball at him. Violent flames exploded, and all the pirates around him, except the pirate leader, were turned into charcoal.

Zhang Chunlei immediately marked the BOSS, Wang Weilong rushed forward and knocked out the pirate leader who had just woken up, and Cheng Mingyue swung his sword and charged forward, dealing nearly 200 damage.

The arrow was like a meteor, and after three seconds of accumulated power, it shot at the pirate leader, causing an explosion even more terrifying than Cheng Mingyue's.

This round of outburst alone reduced the boss's health by nearly a thousand.

After waking up, the pirate leader shouted for help, but was met with an even more ferocious attack.

A dozen pirates came to support, and Chu Cheng said to them decisively:
"You two hold on to the boss for ten seconds."

The two nodded solemnly:

"Ten seconds is no problem."

Chu Cheng nodded and turned around without hesitation to stop the dozen or so pirates.

When a dozen pirates surrounded him and slashed at him with their knives, Chu Cheng saw the pirate leader not far away from the corner of his eye, and suddenly something flashed in his mind.

He chopped down more than a dozen times at the same time, but this time he did not let the talent take effect automatically. Instead, he controlled the target of the talent rebound for the first time.

It does not rebound to the surrounding ordinary pirates, but only rebounds to one target - the pirate leader.

Each attack bounces back once, thirteen attacks bounce back thirteen times, all of them bounce back to the pirate leader.

At this moment, he clearly saw that the pirate leader who was attacking Wang Weilong suddenly had thirteen blood marks on his body while he was being attacked, and a series of -30 damage instantly appeared.

"It doesn't benefit from the mark?"

However, when he saw the 300 points of pure damage that ignored defense at that moment, the pirate leader's body was directly cut and tilted.

Chu Cheng immediately put aside this little problem and was very happy.

A sudden flash of inspiration enabled him to figure out a more sophisticated use of the golden finger.

It turns out that the passive rebound is too crude. It is very effective in killing small monsters, but it is not effective in fighting bosses.

But if we change to this method now, we will have the ability to defeat the BOSS alone.

Although this method has certain limitations, it must have a BOSS with many monsters, and the BOSS is limited to melee combat, but it is indeed very powerful.

With a pure damage of up to 300 in one round, 600 in two rounds is enough to cripple the pirate leader.

After the third round of attacks, the pirate leader, who was left with little health, had no time to escape and died on the spot.

Once the BOSS died, these monsters were of no use anymore. When the fourth round of attacks came, they bounced back and died one after another.

After picking up the loot chest, the five of them rushed forward and attacked the garrison from the front and back, easily defeating them.

At the entrance of the alley, five people were sitting and resting.

Although they were on the battlefield, everyone looked relaxed.

For Wang Weilong and others, this battle was the easiest one in all their history. The many ordinary pirates who were usually the most troublesome did not cause them any trouble. It was really cool.

"As expected, we still need a proper tank."

After several battles, everyone spoke highly of Chu Cheng's performance, and some were even thinking about forming a team next time.

But Chu Cheng was thinking about the alternative use of the golden finger and wondering if he could work alone next time.

I have already tried this method and found that you can use it to isolate the BOSS from the monsters and kill it, so you can kill the BOSS alone. Why do you still need to ask your teammates to share some of the benefits?

Unless there are no monsters around the BOSS you want to fight, you have no choice but to form a team.

"Okay, you'll have to do it alone for the next big class."

As for this class, there is nothing we can do since we have already formed teams.

After resting for a few minutes, they stood up again and began looking for new targets.

However, to their surprise, thanks to their excellent performance, after they released two teams in succession, the two teams joined the battle in other places, which led to other battlefields gaining advantages. In addition, the second team also solved a place. As a result, they looked around and couldn't find the opponent. "So we only have the main street on our side?"

Zhang Chunlei nodded speechlessly:

"That's true."

"What about the north?"

"Squad One is in the north. They have more people and are stronger. The pirates with about a hundred people are definitely no match for them."

Hearing this, Chu Cheng was surprised:
"This doesn't look very difficult. Why doesn't the school allow us to team up to complete the main storyline?"

“Not difficult?”

Wang Weilong smiled and said:
"That's because it's only the first stage now. The Pirate King, many big bosses over level 30, and a group of elite pirates over level 20 haven't come on yet. When most of these pirates are dead, the Pirate King will come on the scene. Then you will know what danger is."

He looked at Chu Cheng and smiled:

"Those elite pirates above level 30 are only slightly weaker than the two leaders we just surrounded and killed, but there are dozens of them in total. Even if you have the talent to absorb damage, you can't withstand it."

"At that time everyone must retreat to the castle, and the rest will be handed over to the teachers."

"Oh"

Chu Cheng stopped talking.

If what he said was true, I really wouldn't be able to resist it.

A level 20 pirate leader usually has close to 200 damage, and an elite pirate is a little worse, definitely around 150. Even after deducting talent and defense, the damage is still close to 100.

With such a high attack, I definitely can't withstand the concentrated fire.

"If that's the case, then we can't waste time. Let's go to the main street and eat the last piece of meat first."

"Walk."

Three minutes later, a group of five people walked along the alley to the main road and jumped onto the roof of a small building. From their vantage point, they could see the fierce fighting in the wide street and surrounding alleys.

There were so many defenders and pirates that the wide main street could not accommodate them all.

Chu Cheng and Zhang Chunlei stood on the edge of the roof, carefully observing the battlefield below. Zhang Chunlei asked:
"How should we attack? Go around from behind or head on?"

Chu Cheng was looking towards the back of the main street at this time. A large number of pirates were surrounding a very tall, bald man with scars all over his body. His name was displayed under the insight skill:
Mike (Elite): The Black Sail Pirates’ leader, level 32, 5500 health points.

The commander-in-chief of this pirate vanguard force is a big boss with a level of over 30 and a health of 5500.

"this."

Chu Cheng pointed at the tall pirate leader and said in a deep voice:
"Catch the leader first. Do you think beheading this guy will work?"

Zhang Chunlei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"impossible."

"Is the tactic I just used not working?"

"The tactic is feasible, but the problem is that no one can stop the BOSS and the small BOSS next to it."

"We can stop a level 20 boss, but we can't stop a level 30 boss who is an elite."

"If you don't need to help, what if I jump in by myself? Stay among the monsters and let them stop the BOSS."

However, Zhang Chunlei still shook his head and said:
"It's still not feasible. How do you think the monsters can stop this boss given its size and strength?"

"Uh"

Chu Cheng scratched his head and finally sighed.

"Ok."

There is really no way around it, the monsters can't stop the BOSS, unless you take advantage of the terrain bug that the BOSS cannot change.

"Ok?"
