Chapter 77: Can’t get past the tail

June 17, 2023Ai Hrist

Zhuang Yun took this opportunity to drink a bottle of potion to replenish his HP. If he didn’t replenish his HP, his blood would drop below 30%, and it would be bad if he was infected with a negative state.

Most importantly, he didn’t want to have wounds.

“Roar–”

The saber-toothed tiger was attacked on its back, and it was swinging its huge body to shake off Shen Jufeng on its back, but Shen Jufeng held on tightly to the hilt of his sword and didn’t let go. Anyway, the one who will get hurt from such a swing was still the BOSS itself.

Seeing that it couldn’t shake off the opponent, the saber-toothed tiger decided to lie down and squash it. That little thing stuck to its back annoyed it.

Lu Jiu saw that the boss wanted to lie down, and reminded: “Shen Jufeng, it is going to lie down and press you down, so let it go!”

Shen Jufeng pulled out the sword hard with his wrist and flew away from its back with his wings. Because the BOSS’s HP volume was too low, his attack formed a wound on its back, and his long sword was blood-stained.

Lu Jiu took advantage of this and took a few steps forward to get closer. Zhuang Yun, who had almost recovered, raised his sword and followed closely behind. As for the shield, it was worn out after being bitten by a saber-toothed tiger just now, so it was scrapped immediately.

The saber-toothed tiger was panting, its nose was hot, and then it raised its head and howled. Lu Jiu saw that this was not an attack, but that it had entered a berserk state.

Although it doesn’t have much energy and HP, the boss’s attack and other attributes were all doubled. Being slapped by it would be no joke.

Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun were attacking from both sides. They wanted to get rid of this boss as soon as possible.

Lu Jiu aimed at the vulnerable parts of the saber-toothed tiger, such as its abdomen, throat, etc. Now that their attack can inflict wounds on the boss, of course, they better pick the weak places to attack.

When the arrow hit its abdomen the saber-toothed tiger’s pupils constricted, and frantically throw away the two attackers. It turned around and spun its long tail to sweep toward Lu Jiu. For this human being who has been shooting in the dark, it wanted to kill her the most.

This time Lu Jiu reacted very quickly, took out the shield, and put it by her side, but unfortunately, the boss’s tail was too strong. Lu Jiu was hit by a blow and hit the giant tree. Even the tree with extremely stable roots like the giant tree shook a few times.

“Lu Jiu!”

“Miss Lu!”

The two of them saw that Lu Jiu was directly knocked out by the saber-toothed tiger for nearly -1,000 HP. Right now, most professional players only have more than 2,000 HP. Only a few have more than 3,000 HP.

Moreover, she even flew onto the giant tree, and the giant tree shook. It can be said that if such a blow just now happened before the doomsday, she would have died long ago.

Lu Jiu felt his chest throbbing and opened her mouth to vomit a mouthful of blood, which seemed to be mixed with minced meat. She gritted her teeth and cursed: “Damn, it hurts to death.”

The two people over there had no way to see her situation, but they relaxed a little when they saw that people were still moving. At least she didn’t die.

It was just that Lu Jiu was lying on the tree trunk and couldn’t recover for a while. She was hit several times before, her HP volume dropped to half. She didn’t drink a potion to replenish her HP.

This time, she only has a few hundred HP remaining. If Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun hadn’t blocked it, she would have died again.

She glanced at her personal information:

Name: Lu Jiu (name can be changed)

Gender: Female

HP: 161/2230

Stamina: 56/980

Attack: 165-356

Defense: 58(+42)

Agility: 59 (+12)

Professional title: City Lord of Xuantian City (hidden state)

Reminder: Internal organs are damaged, now -25 HP per minute, -5 stamina, please remove the state of internal organ damage as soon as possible.

Now her HP was only 161, and her stamina was only 56. Her combat state was bad. She loses HP and stamina every minute. The negative state was terrible.

Fortunately, the pharmacy has potions for removing internal organ damage, and she has potions for removing all negative states. Unfortunately, the manager of the pharmacy has not yet been able to make such potions.

She took out a bottle of pink potion with a peach shape.

[Peach Vitality Potion: After taking it, all negative states of the player will be removed, all consumption attributes will be refreshed 100%, and regenerate for 1 hour.]

This was an item she got from playing the game before. After taking this bottle, there were more than 115,600 bottles left.

After drinking the peach-flavored potion, Lu Jiu’s damaged internal organs were immediately cured, and her HP and stamina were fully replenished. She, Lu Jiu, was reborn again!

Now the saber-toothed tiger has only about 2% of its HP left. As long as they work together to attack a few more times, the battle will be over.

Lu Jiu was full of energy now. After getting up, she pulled the bowstring and shot three arrows in a row without any hesitation. The last arrow hit a critical strike and directly took the last blow.

Seeing the saber-toothed tiger turn into spots of light, Zhuang Yun thought they had been robbed by a wild monster, but saw Lu Jiu holding her bow like a normal person.

“Are you okay? Did you drink the potion?” He saw Lu Jiu vomit blood just now. Her HP must have been hit below 30%.

Lu Jiu waved her hand: “I’m okay, I’ve already taken the potion, and my HP and stamina are fully replenished.”

Shen Jufeng landed from midair and frowned when he saw bloodstains on Lu Jiu’s collar and sleeves.

“Did you have any negative states? I bought potions to remove various negative states.”

The negative state will not solve automatically as long as you replenish your HP unlike before. Now, it must be removed.

“I also saved a little bit, my internal organs were damaged just now, but now I’m fine.” She had lingering fears about what happened just now.

They fought against a brown iron-level boss. If it was a higher-level boss, her HP volume would not be enough to withstand it.

“Why do I get whipped by tails all the time?” It seems that she has been whipped by almost every boss with a tail.

Zhuang Yun was amused when he heard that: “Stay farther away from now on, after all, you are not a melee professional. Even if you are far away, as long as you get hit, you will get hurt.”

“That’s right, you always want to be close.” Shen Jufeng also discovered this. Could it be that the closer she was, the more damage she can do, but this was too dangerous?

“I’ll pay attention next time. Fortunately, I reacted quickly to block a little damage with a shield, otherwise, it was game over for me. Next time, I’ll remember to replenish HP all the time. I won’t be reluctant, a critical hit is unbearable.”

She didn’t get a critical hit this time, but double damage.

Zhuang Yun nodded, it was indeed impossible to save, especially against wild monsters like bosses. Otherwise, they can’t bear to handle their high damage when they go berserk.

“Does it still hurt?” Shen Jufeng asked gently.

Lu Jiu shook her head. It was really painful before, but when the negative state disappeared, and after replenishing her HP and stamina, she didn’t feel any pain anymore.

But she has a gain regeneration for one hour, and it seems a big loss to waste it: “Let’s continue to find some simple wild monsters, I feel that my HP and stamina are not high enough.”

Zhuang Yun hesitated, “Are you really alright? Why don’t you go back and rest for today and just clear the field tomorrow.”

When Lu Jiu heard it, how could she agree? She only has an hour of regeneration: “It’s okay, let’s go, I learn a lesson after eating a pit. Now, we are in the game world, the injuries I suffered are completely healed, and it won’t affect me.”

That’s what she said, but Zhuang Yun still glanced at the blood stains on her clothes and then looked at Shen Jufeng.

Shen Jufeng received an email from Lu Jiu, saying that she has a one-hour regeneration state. Even if he wanted to disagree, after thinking about it, becoming stronger was the most important thing.

“Let’s go, only continue for one hour, and then return to the city after.” Shen Jufeng said.

Since the two bosses wanted to continue, Zhuang Yun had nothing to say and could only continue to clear the field.
