Zhang Mu immediately began preparing to hunt the Dreadfish.
First of all, find two big trees close together. The height of the two trees is about the same. About six people can hold them together. Because they are very close, there is only a gap of 1 meter, which is suitable for battlefield.
Zhang Mu let Fatty and Sun Bing hide in the crevice of the tree while the others stayed in the tree.
"That's enough. Whether we can kill the Dreadfish or not depends on your performance." Zhang Mu said to the two of them,"Remember, don't panic. The Dreadfish's temperament is violent. After it is provoked, it will launch a crazy attack nine times out of ten." However, the head of the Dreadfish is too big to squeeze through the cracks in the tree."
Fatty hid in the crevice of the tree, his legs trembling." Boss, it's not that I don't believe you, but is this method reliable? If the fear fish rushes in, Old Sun and I will die."
Zhang Mu threw down a few ropes and said,"Tie the rope around your waist. If the situation is not right, we will pull you up." Zhang Mu gave the potions from the treasure chest to Sun Bing and Leng Yun. Then, he said to Sun Bing," You have to play a key role. You don't need to participate in the attack. You only need to use Taunt on the Dreadfish. Only by constantly provoking the Dreadfish will it continue to attack."
Sun Bing was very nervous and nodded." Yes!"
Zhang Mu nodded in satisfaction." Let's begin then. I'll lure the Dreadfish over."
Fatty said,"Boss, be careful yourself."
Zhang Mu jumped into the water to attract the attention of the Dreadfish. After only a few minutes, the Dreadfish discovered Zhang Mu and immediately shouted and rushed over.
When Sun Bing saw the giant Dreadfish that was nearly ten meters long, he couldn't help but gasp. He braced himself and used a Taunt skill on the Dreadfish. As expected, the fear fish was enraged and immediately gave up Zhang Mu and charged towards the crack in the tree. The crevice was in the shape of a V. It was big on the outside and small on the inside. The fish's big head couldn't squeeze in at all. The violent impact made the tree shake.
Everyone was so frightened that their legs went weak!
Especially Chen Ling and Liu Yao, who had just joined the team, almost peed their pants on the spot.
The Dreadfish was nearly ten meters in size, with a large head and small tail. Its flat head, two scarlet cold eyes, and its white teeth were like saws, making people shudder. The head of the fear fish was too big. In the process of advancing, it was stuck in the middle of the tree and could not retract.
"Kill!"
Fatty revealed his fierceness at the critical moment. He raised his axe with both hands and took two steps forward to chop at the head of the terrorist fish. Fatty was a Level 4 Berserker, so his strength was not to be underestimated. The attack power of his axe was not low either. However, the Dreadfish had a layer of tough leather on its surface that offset most of its strength and damage, causing a pitiful 3 damage.
Dreadfish's health points were estimated at around 900 points. With such damage, he was afraid that he would have to fight.
"All of you listen to my commands." Zhang Mu climbed up the tree and observed the situation from above." Leng Yun, use Ice Arrow!"
Cold white mist appeared in Leng Yun's hand and condensed into a crystal clear ice arrow. It was about one meter long and surrounded by cold air. It contained considerable power. The casting speed of magic professionals was related to their mental strength. Cold Rhyme took about three seconds to complete the spell and immediately aimed it at the Dreadfish to activate Ice Arrow.
Whoosh!
The terror fish was too big and was stuck in a crack in the tree, so it was difficult for Leng Yun to miss. The ice arrow pierced through the Dreadfish's tough leather shell, dealing 22 damage. The frost spread across the Dreadfish's body, slowing it down. Elementalists had one of the best damage abilities among all classes, and Doku's magic defense was obviously not too high.
However, this little bit of damage was just an insignificant flesh wound to the Dreadfish, but it completely angered it. The Dreadfish even rammed into the tree crazily. It would bite from time to time, but it could not bite Fatty and Sun Bing. After doing this a few times, Fatty became bolder and began to launch crazy attacks.
The fear fish was soon slashed with six or seven wounds.
Zhang Mu commanded methodically. His observation was extremely accurate. When to dodge and when to attack, the timing was very precise. Fatty had experienced a few battles, and his outstanding combat talent was gradually being developed. Under his command, he had a good grasp of the rhythm of his attacks.
However, Fatty's damage ability was too low, which was why he dealt less than 20 damage.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate for a few minutes. The Dreadfish had 95% HP left, so it probably couldn't attack the target. The Dreadfish gradually lost interest and pulled out its body, preparing to leave.
"Don't let it go!" Zhang Mu shouted,"Ice arrow!" Taunt!"
The cold ice arrow shot out, slowing down the Horror Fish's speed. Sun Bing taunted him. The Horror Fish seemed to have received a great insult, and its anger was ignited again. It roared and attacked the two of them, biting off a few pieces of bark. However, the trees were thick and hard, and it could not be destroyed in a short period of time.
After nearly 30 minutes of this, the magic potion was almost used up. The Dreadfish had more than 40% HP left. Its head had been hacked by more than 100 axes, and it was already a bloody mess. Its defense had been greatly reduced. Now, every axe Fatty struck could deal 6:7 damage.
About ten minutes later, the Dreadfish's health was less than 20%. It had been severely injured, and its cries became weaker and weaker. It retreated again, preparing to escape.
Sun Bing skillfully mocked. He thought that the fear fish would be pulled back like before. The result is miscalculation, fear fish no longer ignore, ready to dive away from the water.
This was reality, not a computer game. Although the Dreadfish's IQ was not high, it could still distinguish some things. If they continued to tangle, there would only be death, so they had a strong intention to retreat. At this moment, Sun Bing's LV1 taunt was no longer enough to pull him back.
The fat man shouted,"I am so tired that I am half dead. This guy is about to escape!" Boss, what should we do?"
"You guys rest, let me do it!"
Zhang Mu jumped down from the tree and landed on the Dreadfish's huge head. He held the dagger in his hand and pierced into the Dreadfish's eyes, dealing 50 damage. Targeting vital points, the damage was high, and it was even more fatal!
Zhang Mu stabbed wildly a few times, and the Dreadfish twisted wildly. Its body was too slippery, and Zhang Mu couldn't grasp it steadily, so he was thrown down in an instant. As the fear fish turned around, it set off another big wave. Zhang Mu's body was unstable, and the fear fish's bloody mouth had already bitten him. Zhang Mu saw that there was no way to avoid it, so he decided not to hide, but instead advanced and entered the giant mouth.
God's blessing!
Zhang Mu's entire body emitted a seven-colored light, blocking the Dreadfish's chewing attack. At the same time, he took out an Explosive Bead and threw it into the Dreadfish's esophagus. A loud bang was heard, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in the Dreadfish's mouth, and a burning smell filled the air.
This attack was extremely deadly. The Dreadfish's health was almost at the bottom.
Zhang Mu used his dagger to stab the upper jaw of the Dreadfish, crazily stabbing five or six times.
Finally, the fear fish's mouth was full of blood. It lost its strength as it wailed. Its belly flipped up and struggled a few times before it stopped moving.
Zhang Mu's entire body was covered in blood as he crawled out of the Dreadfish's mouth. Although he had the protection of the Heavenly God's Blessing and dodged several fatal attacks, the invincibility effect was too short. The Dreadfish's teeth still left a huge wound on its chest, and its internal organs were faintly visible. It was almost half dead.
"Captain!"
"Boss!"
Other than Fatty, who didn't know how to swim, everyone else jumped into the water to save him. Zhang Mu wasn't just the captain, he was also the spiritual leader!
Leng Yun saw that Zhang Mu, who was covered in blood, crawled out of the fear fish's teeth. Her whole heart was hanging up, afraid that something would happen to him.
Zhang Mu was helped to swim to the side by several people.
Two minutes later, the Dreadfish completely lost its vitality.
Because Zhang Mu had given him the last blow to kill the monster, he had gained the most EXP. Leng Yun and Fatty dealt the most damage, and the experience points they received were second, followed by Sun Bing. As for Qin Min, Liu Yao, and Chen Ling, who were purely paddling, they gained the least experience.
[Level increased!]
Zhang Mu, Fatty, Leng Yun, and Sun Bing had all reached Level 5, and they were all fully recovered. Qin Min's EXP had increased to 96%, while Liu Yao and Chen Ling had gained less EXP, but they had also reached Level 4.
Dreadfish dropped several loot.
[Sword of Dreadfish](Excellent Black Iron) Equipment Level 5, Physical Damage +18, Sharpen +5, 10% chance of causing tearing damage, Durability 30.
[Fishbone Staff](Normal Black Iron), spell damage +10, casting speed +5%, durability +20.
[Forest Cloak](Normal Black Iron), HP +10, Agility +3, Durability +20.
Monsters above normal level could be divided into solo monsters and group monsters. Dreadfish were solo Elite monsters, while Deinonychus were group Elite monsters. Solitary monsters generally had a higher drop rate than group Elite monsters because solo monsters were often more difficult to deal with.
The loot this time around was very generous, with up to three pieces of Black Iron equipment. Among them, there was an excellent black-iron piece. The same equipment could be divided into four types according to quality: inferior, ordinary, excellent, and excellent. Among them, excellent equipment had the highest attributes.
Zhang Mu picked up the Dreadfish Sword. The sword was about three feet long and was shrouded in a layer of cold light. Both sides of the sword were covered with ferocious serrations.
Only Rangers, Swordsmen, and Knights could equip one-handed longswords. Rangers, like Thieves, Assassins, and Assassins, had the ability to hold both. Zhang Mu held the refined iron sword in his left hand and equipped the Dreadfish Sword in his right hand. The Dreadfish Sword was an excellent black iron weapon with an attack of 18 points. Zhang Mu's attack even surpassed Fatty's. Of course, due to his class, his strength was definitely not comparable to his.
[Fishbone Staff] was a rare equipment for mages, so it was given to Leng Yun. Elementalists had high damage, so having a staff was like adding wings to a tiger.
[Jungle Cloak] increased Agility. Zhang Mu's favorite attribute was Agility.
Qin Min breathed a sigh of relief and complained,"Captain, you're too desperate!"
"This is nothing." Zhang Mu's face was calm, as if nothing had happened." Danger and benefits coexist. Our gains are not small."
The crowd really defeated the fear fish-this seemingly invincible monster!
Not only did this battle benefit the team greatly, it allowed the three members to level up to Level 5, but it also made people feel excited and their despair was swept away.
The rain gradually stopped.
Many ripples appeared in the water again. The strange insects were obviously attracted by the corpse of the Dreadfish and were gathering here. These strange insects were weak, but they were numerous, making people afraid to provoke them. Zhang Mu cut off a few pieces of meat from the stomach of the Dreadfish and left the area. They came to a giant tree near the other shore, but they did not intend to land because it was getting dark and it was safer to spend the night in the tree.
Zhang Mu cut some pine trees. Because they were rich in turpentine, even if they were wet, they could be lit immediately as long as they dried slightly. It was the most suitable for building a bonfire to warm them.
