Chapter 606: Slaying the Rock Quasi-Boss
“Boom!”
On the battlefield, through the second self-destruction, the Quasi-Boss had killed over 20 pets.
Before it died, all the Scout players rapidly threw their Detection skills at the center of the self-destruction, grasping tightly onto their submachine guns.
Since the Quasi-Boss did not die from its second self-destruction, then it would still have its core existing just like those normal rock ball monsters.
One just had to find it and then attack it and one would definitely be able to inflict explosive damage, at the same time greatly increase one’s Contribution.
“Where on Earth is it?” Besides the Scouts, the Energy Manipulators were also finding energy waves using their Converters.
Regardless of whether this Quasi-Boss self-destructed or reconstructed, it still relied on Earth Energy – its core should radiate strong energy waves. Although there was serious disruption on the island, one would still be able to find the waves if the distance was very close very easily.
As for the tortured Warrior players, they could only rely on their naked eyes to observe the rocks, playing a “find-the-difference” game between all of them.
Just when all the players were either using instruments or distinguis.h.i.+ng with the naked eye, Feng Luo who had switched to the Commander Scout Beetle’s vision had locked onto the target in an instant – a “rock shard” seemingly no bigger than the size of a human head.
This was indeed a rock shard; its appearance was not much different from a normal rock shard.
However, its position was not at the center where the self-destruction took place at all where the players were throwing their skills, but in the middle of the 10 guild players who had flown close to 100 meters away from the self-destruction just now.
Being only a rock, this Quasi-Boss actually knew how to troll?
“Ping, ding!”
Without any hesitation, the moment he noticed the target, the muzzle of Feng Luo’s Wings of Death turned swiftly over.
A scorching armor-piercing bullet was fired, and right after, a “locked-on tag” was thrown onto the Quasi-Boss’s core.
“-5067!”
Yellow weak-point damage of over 5000 appeared; although the Quasi-Boss was not busted apart by his shot, this damage was more than 10 times over than previous attacks.
“So it’s here!” Feng Luos shot suddenly and pointed out the direction to the others.
The 10 players in the outer circle were especially shocked and delighted.
Delighted that the Quasi-Boss core was just behind them, and shocked that after Feng Luo’s one shot, the Quasi-Boss was already s.h.i.+ning a yellow light.
When the group of players, that was waiting to attack once the Scout players of the team had found the target, realized that the Quasi-Boss was actually behind them, countless giant rocks were already tossed towards the center.
“Rumble…”
Other than three Warrior players who had escaped, the other seven people were all being hit by the quickly closing rocks, then they were either knocked to the ground and could not flee for a moment, or were brought along flying towards the Quasi-Boss’s core in the center.
The reconstructed rock fragments also blocked the attacks of the other players following Feng Luo.
“Boom!”
After seven flashes of white light, a loud noise sounded again; this time, the result of the explosion was a gigantic rock with bloodstains and three flashes of the white light of death.
With another 10 people dead, counting yesterday’s battle, the number of deaths on this mission was already beyond 150 people.
This number showed that they could not have any more deaths.
After this third self-destruction by the Quasi-Boss, everyone was a little worrisome.
As at that moment, even the Scouts did not know just in which direction should they point their Detection.
“Ping!”
“-5034!”
A gunshot of the Wings of Death sounded once again two seconds later, accurately hitting a “red dot” locked on at the edge of the battlefield.
With the Wings of Death together with two B-Grade armor-piercing bullets, even if it was a Quasi-Boss core, a huge part was sliced off.
“Weng!”
Detecting danger, the Quasi-Boss’s speed of reconstruction was faster this time than before; the surrounding rock fragments that had initially burst apart due to the explosion started to vibrate vigorously.
“Auto mode, Rapid Shooting!”
“Ping!”
“-16246!”
With Feng Luo changing the firing mode and engaging a skill, the Wings of Death in his hands sounded another shot in less than a second.
Upon hitting the spot locked on by the red dot, which had been almost completely stripped of its defense from before, this shot had officially inflicted lethal damage.
Furthermore, it was a golden explosive attack with a lethal red glow.
The rocks that were initially vibrating and those that were even flying towards the center suddenly stopped.
The lethal damage broke the Quasi-Boss’s skill.
This Quasi-Boss regathering its rocks after self-destructing was reliant on Energy for completion – this was considered a skill, of course, it was of a category that was breakable.
“Ping…”
Feng Luo’s expression was heartless as his finger pressed down on the trigger, and the Wings of Death fired another bullet.
“Bazoom…”
“Sou sou…”
“Dadada…”
However, at the same time, all sorts of attacks were fired towards the Quasi-Boss core as well. There were at least over 10 sniper rifle bullets, up to 100 skills, and up to 1000 submachine gun and machine-gun bullets.
With a Quasi-Boss that had finally had its position exposed and had its reconstruction broken, everyone understood that they could not let it continue on.
At the same time, everyone understood as well that this was the key, not only to compete for Contribution, but also for competing for the fourth Quasi-Boss Chip.
“HP: 183,000… 152,000… 111,000…”
The sniper scope vision, that was automatically filtered, accurately monitored the changes of the Quasi-Boss’s HP through the multiple types of Energy colors all over the place. Feng Luo’s finger hooked on the trigger, firing the fifth bullet of this round.
“Ping!”
“-8056!”
Another shot of lethal damage reduced the Quasi-Boss’s health below 10,000.
“Weng!”
But just then, the outside of the Quasi-Boss’s core, which was already hit by all sorts of attacks and was almost completely shattered, suddenly had a layer of khaki-colored Energy.
The players’ attacks were violently deflected when hitting it.
“Weng!”
In the next moment, the rock fragments and giant rocks which were initially unmoving gathered towards the center once more.
This Quasi-Boss had the ability to retaliate?
Technically, this should have been the last struggle.
Seeing from the health it had consumed for self-destruction, this less than 10,000 of health could only afford one more self-destruction.
Even if it did not choose to self-destruct, it would not matter because with the pa.s.sion of the players present, even if it were to shrink into its sh.e.l.l once again, its current health would at most last for only half a minute.
As for escaping? There was similarly not much of a chance.
“Boom!”
However, it was clear that the Quasi-Boss had still rather chosen to die gloriously by reconstructing its body and exploding violently once more.
That was in contrast to before, whereby the Energy ball was much dimmer and when it had flying rock fragments – it now looked like an announcement of the end of the life of a Quasi-Boss creature.
“Something’s not right!”
“There’s still no message!”
Some players who had shown joy on their faces quickly thought of something and reminded themselves.
“No way, don’t tell me there’s still no change!”
To the others, there was no change.
Technically, the one who should be most hated by this Quasi-Boss was Feng Luo.
After the last self-destruction had happened, a stone with a diameter of around half a meter violently cut the air as it was shot towards Feng Luo’s position.
Through the scope vision, it still had a red dot on it that was from being locked on as a target
“Thud!”
However, this stone bomb with the Quasi-Boss core in it seemed like it had hit something as it stopped suddenly one meter in front of Feng Luo, after which it was deflected.
It had knocked into something; in the air in front of Feng Luo, 100 Energy Beetles were formed into a transparent s.h.i.+eld, completely blocking him.
Other than defense, the s.h.i.+elds of the Energy Beetles were also able to deflect long-range attacks.
Being heavily deflected back, the remaining less than 1% health of the Quasi-Boss core and the last stone was separated in the air.
“Ping!”
Right after, a 14.5MM large-caliber B-Grade sniper bullet reduced the Quasi-Boss, which completely had no defense power and was like a pangolin being shaved of its scales and skin, into a sky full of dancing XP and prizes.
[“You have killed Rock Ball (Level 60 Quasi-Boss), kill Contribution 15.5%, XP earned: 3100, Merit earned: 4.”]
