Chapter 58- Fierce Battle
“Attacks from the front and the rear! “In the passageway, Cheng Yang cursed his bad luck. At that time, how could he forget to look at the other end of the road to see if there were any monster group?
These guys definitely ran over after hearing the commotions. As a result of him looking for a channel with only two exits, he now found himself in such a dilemma. He’s literally like a turtle trapped in a jar. (T/N: Chinese idiom which meant to set oneself an easy target.)
A direction must be chosen to break out. If he continued to stay encircled in the middle, he’ll definitely died. Eventually, even the bone residue won’t be remaining.
Choosing the exit toward the Blackwater Crocodile here is clearly not a wise choice. Now there are thousands of Blackwater Crocodile coming in from the outside, and the two big guys in the first late-order has yet to make an appearance. If by any chance he was blocked, his small physique may not be able to withstand the opposite party’s bites.
The only way left is the export in the rear. He just hope the number of Green Anorak isn’t much.
At the moment, Cheng Yang isn’t particularly afraid. After all, in his backpack are ten bottles of health potion. Even if he firmly resisted, he can also kill two hundred to three hundred first early-order enchanted beasts. However, the key question is that here the distance is too far from the station. If by any chance he run into danger with no potions on him, he may be in trouble.
After Cheng Yang made up his mind, he immediately turn around and ran toward the rear channel. In a few breath, he encountered the group of Green Anorak.
Cheng Yang doesn’t intend to fight with them head-on, immediately he jumped, reaching a height of three meters high. Then with this inertia, he propelled himself forward, crossing a distance of 7-8 meters from his previous spot.
This scene left the dozen of Green Anoraks rushing forward dumbfounded. Looking at their target that is about to get hit instantly disappear in front of them was hard for them to accept.
Soon, Cheng Yang reached the apex of his jump, and then began falling downward toward the group of Green Anorak. At the moment Cheng Yang is about to land on the floor, seven to eight manure forks stabbed toward him. It gave Cheng Yang the feeling of being skewer like candied fruit.
However, Cheng Yang also know that even if these manure forks has high attack power, as long as there are no special effects like piercing, it’s impossible for them to pierce his body. Just when his feet is about to hit the floor, Ice Thorn was instantly launched.
A dozen Green Anoraks bathed under the ice thorns, which instantly reduced their health by more than half.
At the same time, the attacks from the Green Anorak finally arrived at Cheng Yang’s body. From this round of attack, Cheng Yang lost 2 health points, which was no different from a tickle.
But, Cheng Yang still paid close attention to these Green Anorak’s attacks. Constantly he did minor adjustments to his body, as he tried to avoid getting hit in the vital parts by these enchanted beasts. This is not to say that Cheng Yang is worried that these enchanted beasts will do higher damage after hitting a vital part, rather it’s to prepare for future fighting.
Along with the enchanted beast’s strength upgrade, there will be some enchanted beast that will gained a special effect onto their attack, such as cut, piercing and so on. For instance, if an enchanted beast has the cut property and landed its attack on a person’s neck, and then the cut property come into effect, a tragedy will appeared. In this situation, regardless of how weak the enchanted beast’s attack power is, the professions that gotten their neck cut will have their health point instantly emptied.
Since enchanted beast is so, the same is equally true with professions. They just need to have a special skill or equipment. In the middle of fights, once the effect is erupted, they will have a chance of spiking their opponents. At that time, fighting experience and skills will be very important. Unlike now, where both sides exchange hits with one another, and the amount of health points lost tend to be a lot. People don’t even have a desire to dodge.
It is precisely because of this involuntary action, which kept people from adapting to such type of fight in the future. Only after a large number of profession became sacrificial lambs did it let other people wake up. As it turns out, fighting isn’t so simple on the surface.
In his previous life, Cheng Yang has gradually adapted to include dodging into his fighting style, but that is only to adapt, which is far from being familiar with it. Therefore he must take advantage of these enchanted beasts in the early-order with no special effect on their attack as a good exercise to temper his fighting skills, and prepare for the future.
Returning back to the fight, Cheng Yang once again launched another Ice Thorn. The Green Anorak all around his body fell to the ground, directly turning into more than 10 corpses.
Cheng Yang didn’t hesitate to immediately rushed forward a few steps, and then jump up again, falling down toward the front. Immediately, it was followed by an Ice Thorn casted out.
Two consecutive attacks once again clear out an open space, giving Cheng Yang a chance to rushed two steps forward. .
At this time, Cheng Yang is about 20 meters away from the exit, and the distance the Blackwater Crocodile behind him is more than 40 meters away. Fortunately, between him and the Blackwater Crocodile are dozens of Green Anorak, otherwise if Cheng Yang was facing these large-sized Blackwater Crocodiles, perhaps this tactic wouldn’t have work. When falling downward, he won’t even be able to establish a foothold.
After doing the same thing again for three rounds, Cheng Yang has suffered seven to eight attacks, lowering his health points, and although it isn’t much, it still made him very depressed. For a magician, being besieged in a monster group, is indeed a very tragic thing.
At this time, Cheng Yang finally noticed something that is very beneficial to him, because he saw outside the exit has no large monster group. Which means, as long as he dashed out of the passageway, he will find himself as a fish diving in the deep blue sea, or a bird that expanded its wing into the bright-azure sky.
With excited mood, Cheng Yang leaped up again, and began to make a descent downward … …
“F**K! “Cheng Yang couldn’t help but cursed, because after falling down, his health was instantly reduced by 7 points.
It turned out to be a first medium-order Green Anorak. Cheng Yang cursed himself for being so absent-minded. Such a large group of monsters, how can it not have the existence of first-medium order monster? At once, Cheng Yang turned to take a look. Quickly, he found the Green Anorak that sniped at his back.
At this time, how can Cheng Yang show any politeness? Instantly, he shot out an Ice Puck. After all, this enchanted beast has just endured a round of Ice thorn from him, and now after getting hit by an Ice Puck, its health was suddenly emptied.
At this time, the group of Blackwater Crocodile finally encounter the Green Anorak. Obviously, now the Green Anorak is surrounding to kill Cheng Yang, so they simply didn’t take note of the Blackwater Crocodile chasing in the back. However, the Blackwater Crocodile isn’t a monster that would be lenient when faced with another type of enchanted beast. Widening their ferocious jaws, they bite toward the Green Anorak.
The two monster groups quickly broke into a melee … …
Cheng Yang didn’t think these two monster groups would actually start fighting each other, such situation rarely occurred in the past. Most of the time, different races of monster would mind their own business. Even if they see each other, they would also deliberately bypassed one another. But now, such a scenario is clearly not possible between the Blackwater Crocodile and the Green Anorak. The two sides directly clashed after meeting each other.
This result, Cheng Yang naturally welcome. Then, he started kill these Green Anorak in front, and continue to leap forward.
Less than half a minute later, Cheng Yang smoothly came out of the passageway, and into another stretch of ruins. At this time, Cheng Yang suddenly discovered on either side of the ruins, a large group of Blackwater Crocodile making their way toward him.
F**K! Who said enchanted beast isn’t intelligence? Cheng Yang more and more has the impulse to curse in his heart. In the year he spent in the previous apocalypse, Cheng Yang discovered he didn’t really have much understanding of it. Like these enchanted beasts before his eyes, they are only first-order enchanted beast, but they already know how to do a flank attack.
Regarding this, Cheng Yang can only interpret it as the Gods giving these guys special care. Who let them guard unusual items?
In his heart, Cheng Yang felt himself very lucky. If these Green Anorak didn’t rushed inside the rear export first, perhaps he will face the attack of thousands of Blackwater Crocodile from the front and rear. To get out of such a predicament, is definitely more difficult than facing the Green Anorak.
Then, Cheng Yang without hesitation, immediately ran away. This time, there is no need to choose a direction. The group of Blackwater Crocodile has almost finished their encirclement, and didn’t give him more option to choose.
While running, Cheng Yang quickly took out a bottle of health potion from his pocket, and poured it inside his mouth. His health point which was reduced to less than one-third instantly became full. This also help ease off a bit of his tension.
If placed a few days before the apocalypse, Cheng Yang current speed can left those so-called Sprint World Championship runners behind eating his dust. But now, Cheng Yang still feel his speed is too slow. As long as he is within the Blackwater Crocodile’s encirclement, Cheng Yang will not feel safe.
“Whooosh … …” There are seven to eight meters left till Cheng Yang escape the encirclement.
At that moment, a extra large Blackwater Crocodile quickly dashed out from both sides, and rushed toward the direction Cheng Yang is fleeing. The four to five meter-long body is full of deterrence, even by lying on the ground, its height is more than 1 meter.
Cheng Yang’s expression slightly changed. Even if he use his toes to think, he can tell that these two big guys are the two first late-order that are within the group of Blackwater Crocodile. As for the first medium-order Blackwater Crocodiles, he had killed them all a moment ago. However, they really can’t be compared with the two enchanted beasts in front.
How to fight against two first-late order monsters at the same time? Cheng Yang somewhat lacks confident. If it’s possible to use the kiting tactics, he has quite a bit of confidence of killing them. But now, he is still within the Blackwater Crocodile’s encirclement.
Spell it! First, he need to rushed out before thinking about solving those two.
Cheng Yang didn’t slow down his pace, as he headed straight toward the position of the two big Blackwater Crocodiles. At the same time, he slightly waved the staff in his hand, causing it to emit a blue light to overflow from the tip of the staff. The light then covered the head of one of the big Blackwater Crocodile.
Originally, that Blackwater Crocodile was still charging at him when suddenly its body instantly froze, plunging it into a state of rigor mortis. Even its eyes can’t be rotated.
“Now is the time! “Cheng Yang started calculating the time. He put a foot on top of the head of the Blackwater Crocodile frozen by Cheng Yang’s Freeze skill, and using it as a leverage leap to fall into the distance.
The other Blackwater Crocodile wasn’t idle. Although it isn’t clear why all of a sudden his companion became motionless, but it was very persistence in its goal of stopping Cheng Yang. At that moment, its huge tail swept over to Cheng Yang’s side.
Cheng Yang was still in the air with no way of changing his posture. However, his extensive combat experience played a role at this time; an Ice Puck rapidly formed at the end of the Spirit Bone Staff, and directly flew toward the enormous tail.
“Bang……” The two instantly collided. The huge impact made the Blackwater Crocodile’s giant tail come to a brief halt.
