Superpower Mechanic: I Have Unlimited Ammo!-Chapter 156: Slaughter Dungeon!
Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Slaughter Dungeon!
At this time, in a certain area of the South Sea, Li Haotian naturally had no idea that the Freedom Federation was once again secretly up to their tricks, planning to use sheer numbers to overwhelm him.
He and Ling Xuehan stood amidst a vast archipelago, watching those grumbling professionals disperse.
Li Haotian said helplessly, "Second Senior Sister, hasn’t that world boss used Water Style for the fifth time already?"
Ling Xuehan was equally speechless.
Ever since they dealt with the world boss on Fishing Island, they began tracking another world boss.
However, the difficulty of this world boss far exceeded Li Haotian and Ling Xuehan’s expectations.
It’s a shell no more than three or four meters in size, and compared to other world bosses with terrifying sizes of hundreds of meters, its size could be described as tiny.
When they first discovered it, Li Haotian even doubted if this thing was really a world boss.
Especially after seeing this world boss’s health bar, the doubt grew even stronger.
The health was only eight million!
Li Haotian laughed at it back then, as other world bosses had at least tens of millions of health.
This thing, as a world boss, was actually anemic!
But soon, Li Haotian found himself unable to keep laughing.
Because this world boss could use Water Style!
Other world bosses, once they appeared, wouldn’t run away even when attacked.
But this shell-like world boss, whenever it took even a tiny bit of damage, would immediately close up its shell, vanish with Water Style, and run hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away!
On top of that, its defense was terrifyingly strong—Li Haotian’s thousands of laser cannons couldn’t break through its shell defense.
Li Haotian was dumbfounded at the time.
Dammit, did this world boss put all its attribute points into defense!
Later, he thought about attacking its interior through the opening of the shell.
But the problem was, the opening was too small; under a volley, there wasn’t enough space to shoot enough Superpower Weapons in to achieve an instant kill.
And when this guy ran away with Water Style and appeared again, Li Haotian found in frustration that the damage previously inflicted had completely healed!
This world boss even had a skill similar to Water Therapy!
He and Ling Xuehan tracked this world boss several times, all with similar results.
Even with Smaug as a backup power source, Li Haotian’s Spiritual Power Value was depleted, still without any way to deal with this world boss.
So just now, when Li Haotian and Ling Xuehan could only helplessly watch other professionals besiege the shell.
The final result was predictable, just like before: the shell, like a frightened rabbit, was barely touched and then disappeared with Water Style again!
Ling Xuehan looked at Li Haotian with an amused yet helpless expression: "Junior Brother, just let it go; this thing is an oddball, give it up."
"To kill it, you must attack its interior through the shell’s gap and achieve a one-hit kill."
"Although this guy’s health is way less than ordinary world bosses’, those eight million health, no professional can achieve such instantaneous damage."
"If it were larger, you may have a chance to kill it instantly with a volley of Superpower Weapons."
"But each time it cowers and opens just a small slit; with such a small gap, you can’t shoot much ammo in. We shouldn’t waste time on it."
Hearing this, Li Haotian could only sigh reluctantly: "Alas, seems like that’s the way it is."
"A world boss that runs and is such an oddball might drop something interesting."
Li Haotian shook his head in regret, turning away with Ling Xuehan.
In the following two days, that runaway shell boss became the hot topic for everyone.
Some even gave it a name: "Sea Runner"!
Everyone speculated that such an odd world boss, the Epic Equipment it dropped might have extraordinary attributes!
Because there had been a similar world boss before, but unlike this Water Style boss, the previous one was a pangolin that specialized in Earth Style.
But because it couldn’t traverse the sea, it could only scurry around the continent on the East Dragon Empire’s side, eventually being cornered and killed by professionals good at controlling Earth Elemental Power.
And the equipment that pangolin dropped, although only one piece, had extremely exaggerated attributes.
It was a ring, granting the wearer the power of Earth Style.
In addition to that, it had an even more outrageous effect.
When the ring bearer stood on the earth, all recovery effects doubled, and strength and defensive power doubled as well!
At that time, the professional lucky enough to gain this gear bragged about it everywhere, making it widely known.
Because of this, everyone suddenly realized that creatures like this with unique traits, unlike the non-fleeing, silly world bosses, were highly likely to drop good loot!
Unfortunately, this world boss is in the sea.
The ocean connects the entire world; even if water-controlling professionals acted together, they couldn’t trap it.
From the current situation, unless they managed a one-hit kill, dealing its entire eight million health in a moment, nobody could do more than watch this world boss scurry around the world!
...
That morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Ideal for traveling, ideal for leveling up, ideal for starting a Slaughter Dungeon!
In the instance halls of every country, throngs of onlookers gathered, chattering excitedly as discussions began.
It seems that for humans, watching their peers struggle on the edge of life and death provides endless superiority and pleasure.
Even if they couldn’t see the participants’ names, only the number of participants from each country.
People, huh!
"Here we go again! It’s the most thrilling day of the month!"
"Tsk tsk, can’t wait to see how many people stuck at an upgrade bottleneck are joining this time!"
"In a few days, it will be the international warfare instance; as per usual, just before that begins, participation in the Slaughter Dungeon will spike!"
"Hehe, those selected to join the international warfare instance will surely do everything they can to enhance their power to gain a survival edge in that instance."
"Of course, because for them, unlocking just one more skill could be another lifeline!"
"I guess, as always, the level 60 Slaughter Dungeon is still the most exciting!"
"Duh! Who doesn’t know that the level 60 participant numbers are the largest, of course, it’s the most thrilling!"
"Registration has already started! Stop chatting and focus on watching!"
East Dragon Empire, Sky Light Academy.
Du Guyan stood next to a burly young man, her neck raised proudly like a peacock.
Her eyes locked tightly on the registration information on the screen, yet a trace of venom and excitement flashed in her eyes.
She screamed inside her mind, "Li Haotian, your end is finally coming!"
