Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 832: Chapter 326 Combined Strike Kill

“Huh? Fire attribute attacks are effective?”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

He could see clearly that most bullets fired at the Black Giant Snake did no damage, and the occasional hits only caused a few points of damage.

But now, when Lan Yulian made it possible for their bullets to have the Fire Attribute, they didn’t just fail to damage at all, but actually caused one or two points of damage!

One or two points of damage isn’t much, but this is the difference between nothing and something.

After all, Zheng Yiyi and her team had fierce firepower. As the saying goes, constant dripping wears away a stone. Even if an individual bullet did little damage, when added together, the damage was still significant.

Rat-tat-tat—

Countless red bullets hit the Black Giant Snake and then, with a “boom,” a flame suddenly erupted on the serpent’s body. The serpent hissed in pain, as if it was suffering.

The Fire Attribute triggered a burn!

The flame from an Ability was different from ordinary fire. Faced with ordinary flames like from bullets, flamethrowers, or rocket launchers, the snake would simply ignore the attack, unable to penetrate its defense. But an Ability User’s Fire Attack could break through!

After being hit so many times, the Black Giant Snake was clearly very angry. Despite the hail of bullets, it charged directly towards the direction of Cheng Yiyi!

The Cataclysmic Awakening of the Black Giant Snake was terrifying. Within a radius of fifty meters, a Level 3 ability user would lose between five thousand to ten thousand HP every second. If it were Level Two or Level One, they would probably be wiped out instantaneously!

The one or two hundred people led by Cheng Yiyi, although elite, didn’t have many Level 3 ability users. Most of them were Level Two or even Level One. If the Black Giant Snake got close to them, they could be annihilated!

Fortunately, Zhou Long made a move.

“Stop!”

Perhaps still a bit uncertain, Zhou Long shouted, seemingly to boost his confidence.

The ground beneath his palm began to slowly display a large patch of Black Quicksand.

His Awakening, if used against people, may not be very effective, as people can run and dodge, not simply waiting for the quicksand to form.

But monsters were different. The Black Giant Snake didn’t know how to dodge and charged right into the Black Quicksand, instantly being restricted to a crawl—its Speed reduced by at least 90%!

While the Black Quicksand controlled the Black Giant Snake, Zhou Long also fell within range of the [Life Drain]. He began losing HP continuously.

[-1134]

[-1187]

[-1276]

[…]

Losing a bit over a thousand HP every second. Zhou Long couldn’t see it, but he could feel it was very uncomfortable.

Just then, a light green tinged with red rapidly approached Zhou Long. Before he knew it, he was enveloped in it.

[+1182]

[+1123]

[+1268]

[…]

Zhou Long’s HP began to recover by a little over a thousand every second!

Wang Tao watched this scene, nodding his head in satisfaction. The loss and gain of HP were roughly even, so there was no danger to his life.

But Zhou Long was gritting his teeth in discomfort because losing HP felt awful, while gaining it back felt great… This alternation between discomfort and relief was a bit torturous. Nevertheless, to kill this Disaster monster, likely the first kill, he had to endure!

At this time, Qi De, wielding the Iron Bone Knife, had already charged under the Black Giant Snake and struck it violently with his blade.

[-3134]

This attack did the highest damage of all, prompting the Black Giant Snake to open its mouth wide and bite towards Qi De.

Qi De leaped high in the air, evading the attack from the Black Giant Snake. Then, without looking back, he ran towards Lan Yulian, his face showing a hint of panic.

“Healing! Healing!”

Swipe!

[+12878]

A green light fell on Qi De’s head.

“Phew— That scared me to death!”

Qi De finally took a deep breath.

Wang Tao frowned; he realized that this Black Giant Snake’s Cataclysmic Awakening did not simply deduct over a thousand HP from Fourth-order Superpower users per second, but the closer one was to it, the more HP was deducted!

When Qi De had gone beside the Black Giant Snake, he was losing over five thousand HP every second!

To land that one strike, he spent more than ten seconds of time. Although he successfully inflicted over three thousand damage to the Black Giant Snake, he paid the price of seventy thousand HP!

If he had been greedy just now and struck one or two more times, he might already be dead! After all, Lan Yulian’s healing had a range, and it would be powerless if too far away.

Bang!

[-1653]

After firing an Air Bullet, Wang Tao immediately warned:

“Stay away from the Black Giant Snake! The closer you are, the more Life Energy you lose! Even Fourth-order Superpower users can’t withstand it for 20 seconds!”

Wang Tao initially wanted to try out his Sharp Long Knife. This knife had an Armor Breaking Attribute, and he thought it would be effective against creatures with high Defense. But considering the situation, Wang Tao quickly discarded that idea. A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall; they could win the battle systematically without taking unnecessary risks.

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s warning, Huang Wu, who was ready to rush in, hesitated. He struggled for a moment but eventually charged forward.

This surprised Wang Tao; was Huang Wu so brave, unafraid of death?

Qi De, as if knowing what Wang Tao was wondering, immediately bared his teeth and said:

“He’s trying to get an ‘assist’! If we manage to get the first kill of a Disaster-level monster, not to mention the vast rewards from the City Hall, it’s a huge honor in itself! He won’t allow himself to miss this opportunity!”

“…”

Is that a thing? But if you put it that way, then I’ve got to give it my all!
