Chapter 8 - First Kill
Chapter 8: First Kill
An audible crack rang in the air.
The War Hunchback Beast was fine, but the flying kick had given Beef Noodle a fracture.
This was extremely embarrassing.
When Beef Noodle sent the Accumulated Energy Kick, it felt as if he had kicked an iron plate. How could his foot possibly withstand that? It was directly broken!
With a trample from its hind feet, the War Hunchback sent Beef Noodle flying back home.
The surrounding players were speechless. Are you trying to be funny? Or are you imitating a monkey?
Although they had witnessed the beast defeat Beef Noodle, there were still several players who went up to challenge the beast one after another, utilizing various tactics and schemes.
“Brother Hunchy, actually, I’m your long-lost cousin…” A player half-kneeling on the ground activated his deception mode and tried to swindle the beast with his mouth-moving technique.
Bang!
The War Hunchback beast raised its hooves and stomped him to death.
“Eat my gravel darts!” There were even some players who threw rubble towards the beast and quickly ran away (apparently, trying to use the long-range attacking tactic.)
In conclusion, it was as expected. Without even needing to ask for it, the War Hunchback Beast trampled them all to death.
Two legs couldn’t outrun four. It was an obvious outcome…
“How dare you! Bastard! Look at this shovel!” There was also a player who screamed at the beast as he tried to stab it with a shovel.
In the end, he naturally slipped under the beast’s hooves, took those hooves to his face, and died a quick death.
An hour later…
The players walked out of the vortex and looked at each other in dismay.
“I feel… Let’s go back,” a player spoke slowly.
The other players ran away with tears.
F*ck, even the first monster in the novice village couldn’t be defeated. How can anyone play this game?
At this moment, a figure walked towards the War Hunchback Beast.
His ID: Indomitable Bear!
“The War Hunchback Beast takes a second before it starts to trample its enemies.
“In addition to this, his weakness is his lower abdomen. We must target his weakness for the attack to be effective!
“Apart from that, since the game has given us a cultivation technique. I’ve been cultivating it for three hours, and I believe that’s the key!
“The previous battle with Beef Noodle showed us that the Accumulated Energy Kick can only be used to attack the beast’s only weakness—the lower abdomen. Otherwise, if we use it to attack any other place it would do nothing but break our bones and get us killed!”
Indomitable Bear’s firm gaze flickered, so he took a step forward and began the challenge.
But soon a light flashed and Indomitable Bear appeared back in the square of the sect.
“My movements are too slow. I still need to improve!
“While you dodge, you also need to do this and this…”
After Indomitable Bear muttered to himself, he kept on challenging the Beast.
Time and time again, death was unable to shake the firmness of Indomitable Bear’s will in the slightest. Instead, it infuriated him more and more.
Seeing that they were completely unable to defeat the War Hunchback Beast, most of the players chose to give up.
Or rather, wait for a big boss to kill it first!
“Ah, if only there was a cup of fine wine along with such a beautiful scene, wouldn’t it be just perfect!” Some players climbed a high place and were leisurely enjoying the setting sun’s fading glow.
There were also players who were still rummaging around.
There were also a few players who logged off decisively and began to research strategies for the game.
However, most players had gathered around the sect’s square.
A player named Sarcastic-chan had found a large pot from somewhere, he even made a barrier around it, putting the War Hunchback Beast meat into the pot and stirred it.
The surrounding players were all holding their wooden chopsticks, greedy and salivating.
“The War Hunchback Beast’s meat is too delicious!”
“The thigh meat is even better!”
“That’s my bro! F*ck, this tastes so amazing!”
“Wait. Should we cultivate first?”
“What’s the point of cultivation? Does Cultivation have the fragrance of a hot-pot?”
“F*ck, this old man was playing liver games[mfn]drinking[/mfn] all night and ended up eating hot-pot online? It’s truly fragrant~”
—
The more these players ate, the better they felt. Moreover, no matter how much they ate, they wouldn’t get bored of the taste, let alone worry about bursting their stomachs.
Thus, the entire night passed quickly.
The next day.
“Hu…” He Yiming opened his eyes and exhaled in satisfaction.
It took him a night to fully recover from all his injuries.
“This War Hunchback Beast is too strong!
“Those players wouldn’t be able to win! I can only rely on myself!
“But there are only two days left. How is it possible to kill 100 of them?” He Yiming sighed.
Forget it, let’s sign in first!
Ding!
【Sign-in successful!】
【Sign-in reward: New building (Hall of Resurrection)!】
【Hall of Resurrection: After a player dies, he will automatically revive in the Hall of Resurrection. His cultivation will be reset to the First Stage of Body Forging Realm! There isn’t a need to create a new character.】
“This Hall of Resurrection is a good thing!” He Yiming nodded.
With this thing, even if the players died without complete corpses, all their previous accumulated data would return to their original form, and they would have to start again from the first stage of the Body Forging Realm.
However, the experience and knowledge accumulated by the players would remain!
It was just that their cultivation would be gone!
This was just like the tough soul game!
The most important thing was to save time, save others, and establish roles.
At this moment, a system notification suddenly chimed in his ears…
Ding!
【Indomitable Bear has successfully killed a War Hunchback Beast and completed the assigned mission!】
【Reward: 100 contribution points!】
“???” He Yiming was stunned.
“There are players who… can kill the War Hunchback Beast?” He Yiming’s first reaction was that he hadn’t woken up yet, and he was still dreaming.
However, this was indeed a system notification. There was no mistake!
“How the hell did he do it?” He Yiming immediately stood up and hurried out of the hall.
—
“The heck! Brother Bear is so mighty!”
“That’s my bro! As expected of Brother Bear!”
“Amazing. Big boss, do you still lack thigh people to hold your thighs?”
—
At the center of the cheering crowd, a figure drenched in blood stood on top of the fresh corpse of the War Hunchback Beast, his face brimming with the joy of victory.
It was the player with the ID: Indomitable Bear.
“This War Hunchback Beast is indeed powerful!
“Key difficulty lay in its high attack and high defense! If we were to be struck, we would be killed instantly!
“That’s why we must be unharmed to kill the War Hunchback Beast!” Indomitable Bear spoke calmly.
???
Must be unharmed?
Are you kidding me?
All the players looked at each other in dismay.
Perhaps, this was the world of the big bosses.
“Big Boss, how did you kill him? Can we learn it from you?” A player asked curiously with stars flashing in his eyes.
“Sure!” Indomitable Bear nodded his head, showing no intention of keeping it to himself.
“Big boss, this is a big boss!” The other players were extremely moved.
They could not defeat it!
But…
But they had a big boss now!
If they observe the big boss killing the beast, they might learn it too. Then, couldn’t they also kill the beast?
“How did he do it?” He Yiming was also curious.
Someone at the First Stage of the Body Forging Realm killed an Early Stage Spirit Vein Realm demonic beast alone?
If he was born with an Innate Chaotic Body, a Supreme Body, or even an Immortal Body, he would believe it.
But this player, Indomitable Bear was like any other player: talentless. He was just an average Joe.
In the end, how did this happen?
