I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"Hua Zitong!"

Li Wu called out instinctively.

His hands moved with lightning speed, swiftly firing two healing arrows!

Unfortunately, only one arrow hit the target!

+110!

Fortunately, the health was restored.

"You two can't escape... two decent gamblers."

The Dice Bone raised its enormous hand and pointed towards the cave's dome.

[Probability Bombardment]!

hum-

On the cave ceiling, the shimmering crystals suddenly shone brightly!

Immediately afterwards, enormous dice made of pure energy rained down from the sky like a meteor shower!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The giant die slammed into the ground, exploding into clusters of energy in different colors.

The red areas are the flame zones where you're continuously losing health.

The blue areas represent frost regions where speed is significantly reduced.

The green areas are poisoned zones where blue stamina is constantly being lost.

In an instant, the entire cave, except for a small area around the BOSS, was almost completely covered by these dangerous energy fields!

Li Wu and Hua Zitong's space to dodge was compressed to the extreme!

"Wail in despair!"

Dice Bone roared and took huge strides as it charged toward Li Wu.

With each step it took, the ground shook violently.

Li Wu's eyes were as calm as a block of ice that had stood for millennia.

He didn't run away because he knew that there was no point in running away in such a confined space.

He drew his bow.

Burning Arrow!

One burning arrow after another, as if they were free, were fired wildly at the skull of the dice bone.

-12!

-81!

-20! -20! -20!

……

He focused all his attention on outputting damage and dodging.

Dice Bone's fist came crashing down, but he dodged it at the last moment.

As the dice-bone swept his leg towards him, he leaped backward, narrowly avoiding the attack.

His body writhed wildly on the edge of death.

He was like a tireless machine, precisely calculating every attack from the BOSS, and then, in the intervals between attacks, delivering the most lethal counterattack.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment.

Li Wu had no idea how many arrows he had shot, nor how many attacks he had dodged.

All he knew was that he couldn't stop.

If you stop, you die!

the other side.

Hua Zitong's remaining health was only enough to circle around the areas on the ground, while Li Wu was being relentlessly chased by the enormous skeletal giant.

They quickly approached the skeletal giant!

"I am coming!"

Hua Zitong shouted, grabbed her wood-chopping knife, and rejoined the battle.

With her joining the team, Li Wu's pressure was instantly reduced considerably.

The two once again formed a perfect working relationship.

Li Wu is responsible for long-range kiting and sustained damage output.

Hua Zitong is responsible for close-range harassment and bursts of attacks.

Dice Bone's health is starting to drop rapidly!

75%...

70%...

65%...

at last!

When the Dice Bone's health drops to 60%!

It suddenly stopped all its movements and let out a deafening roar!

"Enough! This boring chase needs a change!"

It raised its hands high, and the light in the entire cave dimmed!

A gamble with fate!

An irresistible force forcibly pulled Li Wu and Hua Zitong in front of Dice Bone.

A huge, semi-transparent betting interface appeared in their field of vision at the same time.

[Please place your bet on your luck within 10 seconds!]

[Available bet amounts: 5 points / 15 points / 30 points]

"It's here! This is it!" Hua Zitong's breathing became rapid. "This is the most crucial mechanic of the BOSS!"

She quickly said to Li Wu:

"This mechanism is like betting against the BOSS! Each of us rolls the dice once, and if the sum of the numbers exceeds the BOSS's, we win! If we win, the BOSS will enter a prolonged weakened state and our bets will be returned!"

"What if we lose?" Li Wu asked.

"We lost..." Hua Zitong's face turned somewhat grim. "If we lose, the BOSS will devour all our bets and grant us a buff based on the points devoured!"

"If it absorbs 60 points of our luck, we'll both die!"

"How should I choose? If I bet too much, I'll lose everything!"

"No!" Li Wu's eyes were unusually firm. "We must bet the full amount!"

"If we're going to gamble, let's go big! We have two dice, and the other side has one. If our combined total is over 7, we're guaranteed to win! Our chances are huge!"

Hua Zitong thought about it and realized that Li Wu was right. Moreover, the most important thing was that if the battle lasted longer, there would be too many unexpected events!

Neither of them could withstand a full-force attack from the skeletal giant!

The 10-second countdown has begun.

The two no longer hesitated.

You've bet 30 points of luck!

You've bet 30 points of luck!

The moment they make their choice, their luck stat is reduced by 30 points.

Immediately afterwards, a virtual dice cup appeared in front of them.

Roll your fate dice!

The two of them pressed the "throw" button at the same time.

The dice cup began to shake violently.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

A few seconds later.

Ding!

The dice cup stopped.

The results are in!

Before Li Wu appeared a gigantic, golden [Lu]!

And in front of Hua Zitong appeared someone—[Lu]!

Two sixes!

"Hahaha! Heaven is helping me!" Hua Zitong was so excited she almost jumped up.

Their team has a total of 12 points!

This is already the theoretical maximum value!

Immediately afterwards, the dice cup in front of the BOSS also stopped.

The result was one—[One]!

Won!

They won the bet with an overwhelming 12-1 score!

"No—! This is impossible!"

The Dice Bone let out an incredible roar.

A powerful "lucky backlash" force descended from the void and slammed into its body!

-1000!

A huge damage number popped up above its head.

Its body shuddered violently, and all its bones made cracking sounds, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment.

Its two dark blue flames of soul energy also became weak and feeble.

[System Notification: The Dice Bone - Probability Avatar has suffered a "Lucky Backlash" and entered a "Weakened" state, with both attack and defense reduced by 100% for 30 seconds!]

"Now's the time! Full power!"

Hua Zitong let out a delicate shout, and the wood-chopping knife in her hand ignited with fierce fighting spirit!

[Heavy Chop]!

-120!

-130!

With the BOSS at 100% defense break, her damage reached an unprecedented level!

Li Wu was not idle either.

Burning Arrow!

Burning Arrow!

Burning Arrow!

He abandoned all control and support skills, using all his mana to unleash this highest-damage skill!

-150!

-155!

-40! -40! -40!

……

The BOSS's health bar plummeted at an alarming rate, like a landslide or a tsunami!

60%...

40%...

35%...

12%!

The 30-second period of weakness passed in the blink of an eye.

But in those short 30 seconds, the two of them managed to reduce the BOSS's health by nearly 50%!

"You...you've angered me!"

The Dice Bone recovered from its weakened state, and its voice was filled with endless resentment and madness.

"You will...bear my...wrath!"

As soon as it finished speaking, two completely different lights suddenly shone on its body.

A black, cursed light shot towards Hua Zitong.

A golden beam of blessing shone down on Li Wu.

[Random Curse/Blessing]!
