Chapter 150: Arrowfish Swarm!
After entering the water, Li Xiang submerged himself, deliberately creating a commotion, waiting for the BOSS to come.
Based on the quality of the previous two BOSSes, this last BOSS is very likely to be a Platinum-grade BOSS!!!
While waiting, Li Xiang searched around, attempting to find the Pufferfish Mount mentioned by NPC Wang Si.
Although Li Xiang, with his super long breath-holding time, could swim freely in the water, his speed was still too slow, far from being as fast as moving on land.
As the game progresses, more and more map scenes will appear, and water scenes will also increase.
If he could get a mount that could swim in the water, then he would be good to go on both land and water.
After searching for a long time, Li Xiang didn't see any sign of Pufferfish Monsters.
Instead, he was attacked by several Arrowfish Monsters.
【LV48. Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish】
Quality: Elite
HP: 97630
Physical Attack: 3094~3180
Physical Defense: 3309
Magic Defense: 2427
Skill: Long-Distance Charge
【Commentary: A very fast Arrowfish, skilled at launching charges from a great distance at extremely high speed, hitting the target before the enemy even notices it!!!】
As a Level 48 Monster, the Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish only has one skill, Long-Distance Charge!!
Once this skill is activated, the Arrowfish will transform into a 'sharp arrow', launching an attack at extreme speed. In the water, it's like a very fast current; you're hit before you even realize it.
-0
A Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish collided with Li Xiang, dealing 0 damage.
And the next second, Li Xiang smiled and swung his sword.
Even in the water, affected by the water resistance, this sword strike was still fast, accurate, and ruthless!!!
Hit!!!
-33900
Triggered Shadow Ambush.
-33900
The Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish's HP instantly dropped by a third. Its speed was extremely fast, and knowing that Li Xiang was not to be trifled with, it immediately fled into the distance.
However, after swimming a short distance, the Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish crashed around like a headless fly.
Li Xiang knew that this had triggered the Mist Necklace's mist effect!
Swimming forward, Li Xiang brought his sword down, harvesting the Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish's last HP bar.
"Ding! Successfully killed Elite Monster 'Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish' by exceeding levels, gaining experience x285181"
A high experience value of 285,000!!
After killing this Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish, more Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish transformed into 'currents' and attacked Li Xiang.
Facing these 'little cuties', Li Xiang didn't move.
The 50% counterattack chance turned these Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish into corpses, floating in this wide river area.
"Ding! Successfully killed Elite Monster 'Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish' by exceeding levels, gaining experience x285181"
"Ding! Successfully killed Elite Monster 'Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish' by exceeding levels, gaining experience x285181"
...
After killing dozens of Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish, he still didn't see any Pufferfish or the BOSS.
Floating to the surface to catch his breath, Li Xiang climbed onto the boat.
NPC Wang Si quickly came over, "Royal Guard, did you not find what you were looking for?"
Li Xiang looked at him and nodded.
Wang Si asked again, "Sir, may I be so bold as to ask what you are looking for?"
Li Xiang said directly, "It's a BOSS. I received information that it's in this area, but when I went into the water just now, I didn't see any other Monsters except Arrowfish."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, NPC Wang Si's eyes widened, "Royal Guard, you mean there are a large number of Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish underwater?"
Li Xiang saw his expression and knew that something had been triggered, so he immediately nodded, "Yes, quite a few. I must have killed thirty to forty Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish just now."
NPC Wang Si frowned, "Royal Guard, Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish and the He豚 in this Pufferfish Bay have always been at odds, or rather, they treat each other as food.
The appearance of the Arrowfish swarm here means that the He豚 swarm may have been eaten up by the Arrowfish swarm..."
Eaten up?!
Li Xiang was stunned.
It wouldn't be that bad, would it...
According to NPC Wang Si, this place is called Pufferfish Bay because of the abundance of He豚, with many He豚 Monsters.
The BOSS coordinates are here, so it's very likely that the BOSS he ultimately needs to kill is some kind of leader among the He豚 Monsters.
A group of Monsters with a BOSS like that guarding them wouldn't be wiped out so easily, would they...
After asking Wang Si a few more questions, Li Xiang immediately said, "Since there is a gathering place for Arrowfish, let's go and see the gathering place of the Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish!"
NPC Wang Si quickly agreed and steered the boat towards the Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish gathering place.
...
More than ten minutes later, the number of Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish visible on the water surface increased, and these Arrowfish also attacked the boat.
An occasional attack could punch a hole in the hull.
Wang Si steered the boat while repairing it, busy as a bee, but he didn't say he was unwilling to continue forward. Instead, he kept his mouth shut and nervously maintained the boat's progress.
Li Xiang stood at the edge of the deck, using ranged attack methods to continuously attack the surrounding Arrowfish that were gathering.
Kill prompts popped up one after another.
"Ding! Successfully killed Elite Monster 'Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish' by exceeding levels, gaining experience x285181"
"Ding! Successfully killed Elite Monster 'Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish' by exceeding levels, gaining experience x285181"
...
A few minutes later, more and more Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish gathered near the boat. Wang Si's repair speed could no longer keep up with the Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish's destruction speed.
Li Xiang also didn't have a particularly good method to continuously kill this endless stream of Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish.
NPC Wang Si walked over, a bitter smile on his face, "Royal Guard, I can't hold on. This boat can't go any further..."
While he was saying this, several more gaps appeared on the hull from Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish collisions.
Li Xiang knew he had reached his limit, "How far is it from here to the Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish gathering place?"
"About two kilometers further ahead..."
"Alright, you go back directly. I'll go by myself."
With that, Li Xiang directly jumped into the river.
As Li Xiang jumped into the river, a large number of Sharp-Toothed Arrowfish, like cats smelling fish, attacked Li Xiang.
Li Xiang directly released a skill.
War Taunt!!!
Instantly, he attracted the aggro of another group of Monsters.
The pressure on the boat was greatly reduced.
Wang Si stood at the edge of the boat and shouted, "Royal Guard, you should come back with me. There are too many Arrowfish!!"
He hadn't left yet, wanting to bring back Li Xiang, who was deep in the Arrowfish swarm.
Li Xiang felt a warmth in his heart when he heard him, "I am a Royal Guard!!! These small Monsters can't hurt me!!!"
Group Fire!!!
Instantly, with Li Xiang as the center, a large amount of flames appeared.
The surrounding Arrowfish instantly took a large amount of damage!!!
-46402
-45891
...
Dense damage values appeared, and the Arrowfish instantly suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that Li Xiang could indeed handle the attack of the Arrowfish swarm, Wang Si dared not stay any longer and quickly steered the still-leaking boat backward.
