"How do we fight this?"

After reviewing the specific attributes of the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile, Huan Cheng was somewhat dumbfounded.

His current physical attack is 4092, the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile has a defense of 3020, and it also has a passive skill that can exempt 30% of physical damage.

What drove Huan Cheng even more crazy was that his main damage-dealing skills, Wind Slash and Crimson Flame Slash, were both slashing skills. With an additional 15% damage reduction, what kind of damage output was there?

In addition, the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile recovers 1% of its health every 10 seconds, which seems insignificant, but if you consider that the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile has a terrifying three million health points, it translates to an average recovery of 3000 health points per second.

Unless he can trigger true damage every time, Huan Cheng can't do anything to the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile even if it lies still.

Does that mean he should use his head to hit someone?!

Having previously crushed a Silver-level BOSS, Huan Cheng inevitably felt a bit proud, thinking that Gold-level BOSSes were nothing special.

But now it seems that gold-level and silver-level are completely different concepts. A gold-level monster can fight a group of silver-level monsters of the same level!

Thinking of the Qingyang Guards roaming the streets of Qingyang City, and how a level 50 gold warrior like Kader could only serve as a squad leader, Huan Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill.

The friendly attitude of Qing Ao, Qing Xi, and others made him subconsciously overlook the strength of these old monsters.

Looking back now, even the second-best Qingyue was a god-like existence that players had to look up to for a long time!

As for his cheap master, Ji, Huan Cheng couldn't even imagine what kind of combat power he had at his peak.

In fact, Huan Cheng underestimated himself.

The Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile is so powerful, largely because it's a level 30 boss.

In the Divine Realm, there is a hurdle every ten levels. Once he reaches level thirty, his growth coefficient will be adjusted, and his strength will increase dramatically.

Equip level 30 gear, and you won't be much less powerful than the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile in terms of physical attack.

Of course, he still needs a long time to grow before he can defeat Qingyue.

"Boss? Shall we retreat?"

Seeing Huan Cheng staring intently at the golden earth dragon crocodile, Liu Feng called out softly.

Huan Cheng snapped out of his daze, glanced at the golden earth dragon crocodile, and decided to deal with it later.

This seemingly insignificant glance led him to a new discovery.

Under the effect of the Eye of the Void, a few lines of text suddenly appeared in the description of the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile's attributes.

Weakness 1: It is weak against fire and lightning. When encountering fire or lightning attacks, the damage taken is increased by 20%.

Weakness 2: Abdominal soft scales. The chest and abdomen area retains the original soft skin of the crocodile, without the protection of dragon scales, resulting in halved defense. Attacking this area ignores the dragon scale armor skill effect and will always trigger a critical hit effect.

Weakness 3: Life gland. Hidden inside the wide throat is the life gland, a key organ for the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile to restore its life. After being attacked, the bloodline self-healing effect is forcibly suspended for three minutes.

Note that the hidden glands may only be exposed when biting or unleashing the Dragon Breath Turbidity.

"Um?"

Huan Cheng was stunned when he saw the newly discovered weakness.

After a moment, he sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Thunder and fire counters are useless against him, but the soft scales on his abdomen can solve the problem of insufficient output. However, as the name suggests, this area is on his abdomen, making it difficult to attack in actual combat.

As for the life glands, they are hidden directly in the mouth, making them extremely difficult to destroy.

Huan Cheng stared intently at the golden earth dragon crocodile, hoping that the Eye of Void could find more weaknesses.

"Aww!!"

Just as Huan Cheng was observing intently, the golden earth dragon crocodile, which had been lying quietly resting, suddenly roared, its amber pupils showing bloodshot veins, and glared angrily at Huan Cheng.

"Damn it, I overused the Eye of Insight and it triggered an active attack!"

Huan Cheng was startled and immediately realized the problem.

He was able to observe quietly here thanks to the special effect of the Breath of the Abyss, but the Eye of the Void was judged as an active attack, and the Breath of the Abyss became ineffective!

Before Huan Cheng could react, the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile opened its blood-red maw, spanned dozens of meters, and shot out a pale golden energy beam!

"He's unleashing a powerful attack right off the bat?!" Startled, Huan Cheng leaped off the rock, holding the Flaming Sun Heavy Sword horizontally in front of his chest, and charged forward to meet the attack.

He could withstand one hit of the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile's Dragon Breath Turbid Current, but Liu Feng behind him was a typical squishy character; he would be instantly killed if he was even grazed or touched.

The other person was trying to help him complete the task out of kindness, and Huan Cheng was unwilling to let him get hurt.

"Boss!"

Seeing the terrifying damage of nearly 20,000 floating above Huan Cheng's head, Liu Feng was greatly alarmed.

On one hand, they were shocked by the terrifying attack of the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile, and on the other hand, they were also shocked that Huan Cheng had such a high HP, still alive and kicking even after losing 20,000 HP.

"You'd better get out of the area of ​​hatred!" Huan Cheng shouted at Liu Feng without turning his head.

Liu Feng stopped in his tracks. He glanced at the golden earth dragon crocodile and realized that with his small arms and legs, going up there would be suicide. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, boss, be careful!"

After saying that, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that a burst of dragon breath had failed to kill Huan Cheng, the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile felt its authority had been challenged.

A hint of human-like disdain flashed in his amber eyes. He raised his head, which resembled a dragon but was not quite, and with a deafening roar, a tangible dragon's might swept over Huan Cheng.

Huan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, as if he had been humiliated in an extremely humiliating way, a raging fire suddenly ignited in his chest!

Completely out of rage and a subconscious reaction, Huan Cheng unleashed Abyss Judgment on the Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile!

-600000

"Ding! Your skill 'Abyssal Judgment' has triggered a critical hit. The Golden Earth Dragon Crocodile's all attributes have been reduced by 20%, and it has been forced into a 6-second stun!"
