Chapter 25

——Deadly Poisonous Magical Sea Anemone: Attack 5, Defense 0, Health 11, Attack Speed 1, Movement Speed 0, Damage 1-2, Command Value: 0, Special Skills: Multi-Attack, Paralyzing Poison Attack, Preemptive Attack.

Multi-Attack: Each of this creature's tentacles can participate in combat.

Paralyzing Poison Attack: This creature's attacks can interrupt the enemy's actions and reduce the enemy's attack and defense damage.

Preemptive Attack: This creature's tentacles are sensitive and can attack preemptively as soon as the enemy approaches.

So, this is the full attribute of the sea anemone. With time being tight, Da Fei immediately recruited the only unit from the brood nest.

— System Notification: You have used the resources stored in the brood nest to recruit a Deadly Poisonous Magical Sea Anemone.

— System Notification: Plant-type units cannot move, cannot follow the hero, and do not consume the hero's command value. You have only one chance to place it, please position your unit.

At this moment, the large fleshy ball of the brood nest began to squirm, and a translucent icon of a small sea anemone appeared before Da Fei. It was similar to selecting a location for building a house. Da Fei carefully aimed and moved the icon to a point on the path where the big boss was advancing, then confirmed it.

Plop! A crisp sound, a small fleshy ball spewed out from the top of the brood nest and landed in front of the boss. As soon as it landed, it took root and sprouted, and the boss was momentarily blocked, allowing the surrounding minions to catch up. The boss stopped and slashed it down, and thus was overtaken by the minions.

Positioning successful! Unfortunately, my first unit was so bravely and gloriously sacrificed!

Now, Renoir was surrounded by minions again, and the boss was no longer involved. Since the boss had been attacked by the sea anemone, it was natural for it to attack the sea anemone.

The battle began.

-95! -94! The boss wielded its dual blades, dealing astonishing damage despite Renoir's high defense bonus! This was even with the boss's reduced damage due to low stamina. One can imagine how terrifying the boss's damage would be without the reduction! Not only was the damage halved, but the attack speed was also halved, a curse comparable to a master-level dark curse. Yet, the boss still attacked with lightning speed, showing no signs of reduced attack speed.

At this rate, how many rounds could the sea anemone with 1000 health withstand? How many hits could the captain withstand? It seemed that this boss indeed needed to be surrounded and killed with the dark magic book to summon zombies.

Now, there was no choice but to fight to the death! Da Fei immediately followed up with a powerful attack, -30! -28! This damage, without a doubt, was due to the boss's master-level defense skill negating the captain's offensive skill.

For a moment, the sea anemone was cut to pieces, green liquid splattering everywhere. The sea anemone's slow attack speed was a significant disadvantage. The boss had already attacked three times, dealing 300 damage, before the sea anemone could retaliate once, dealing 400 damage. This was with a 2-point attack speed bonus; with the original 1-point attack speed, it would be unimaginable. Who knew how much health the boss had left?

Now, the sea anemone had less than 200 health, the situation was critical. Da Fei stopped attacking and immediately stabbed a nearby minion watching the captain. As the minion fell, a gap opened, and the boss stopped attacking the sea anemone and went to attack the captain.

Captain, I've held off 900 health for you, hold on! If you can't survive this, then I'll accept my fate.

Finally, after the captain took two hits, the sea anemone's attack arrived, and with a loud crash, the boss's massive body collapsed.

— System Notification: You have defeated the boss, the Undersea Watcher, and gained 20,000 experience points!

— System Notification: You have obtained incomplete information about the Undersea Watcher!

Finally, it's done! Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief and opened the information, only to draw a sharp breath. Indeed, it was a boss with 50 defense and 1800 health, equipped with a master-level defense skill! If one of these were sent to the surface world, it would be... well, let's not even talk about it. In any case, I've passed the first level.

Da Fei chuckled, "Captain, are you okay?"

Renoir replied irritably, "Adventurer, can't you see I'm being attacked?"

Oh right, there are still minions! Hahaha, how could I ignore them? I'll send you all on your way.

With the boss's death, a dense green smoke rose from its body and gathered at the top of the brood nest. With a plop, another short red fleshy pillar sprouted—new tentacles were growing!

Right, right, right! They must grow. The two sea anemone kings I've seen had over ten tentacles, so five is really not enough. It seems the brood nest is not yet in its ultimate state.

However, from now on, the sea anemone can no longer block the boss's attacks for the captain. The rest can only be endured.

The tide surged, and new enemies appeared.

But for Da Fei, who now had a sea anemone cannon, these were just easy prey. They had almost no chance of reaching Renoir. Under the moonlight, Renoir's health began to steadily recover. The sea anemone's sixth tentacle was fully formed, and the seventh was just sprouting. One can imagine how much nourishment a boss's death could provide to the sea anemone.

With 20,000 experience points from the boss, Da Fei easily leveled up to level 13. The speed of leveling up was simply amazing. This place is indeed a playground for the strong and a hell for the weak. Hahaha!

— System Notification: Your sea anemone brood nest has received sufficient nourishment and has produced a Deadly Poisonous Magical Sea Anemone. Do you wish to recruit it?

Oh, another one? This sea anemone is indeed peculiar, requiring no gold or mineral resources, only the absorption of death energy! Good! More strength means more confidence. If time permits, I'd like to surround the captain with a circle of them.

When the silver moon was high in the sky, the entire Undersea was shrouded in a thick mist, like a steaming pot. In the world of the dead, this was the time when all undead creatures were at their strongest. Under the moonlight, the sea anemone's seventh tentacle was rapidly forming, a speed more astonishing than mushrooms after rain, making it difficult for Da Fei to determine whether it was an animal or a plant. Perhaps, as a plant, it had a natural advantage in absorbing moonlight, a result of photosynthesis.

Renoir, who had just fully recovered his health, said in a deep voice, "This time, two are coming. Whether we can survive depends on this battle!"

— System Notification: Reconnaissance Warning! Two powerful enemies are approaching. Please remain vigilant.

Da Fei's heart tightened. Although he couldn't see them in the mist, two large red dots were approaching from both sides on the mini-map.

There was no choice. The only move I can make is to position them.

Da Fei immediately ordered the brood nest to stop attacking and let the minions continue to swarm around the captain. Then, two large, dragon-headed, human-bodied, snake-tailed undead Naga appeared.

When the bosses arrived, Da Fei immediately killed a nearby minion next to the small sea anemone, creating a gap for one of the bosses to position itself. Then, of course, the large and small sea anemones would attack this boss together. With seven tentacles, the large sea anemone's combat power was significantly different. As for the other boss, it would be left outside to spectate.

So, this time, only one boss could attack the captain.

While the large sea anemone was attacking the boss, the other boss, with nothing to do, began to attack the large sea anemone!

Damn! The boss's intelligence is indeed different! Da Fei immediately rushed in and pulled the boss's attention with a backstab, then turned and ran! In the game, no matter how slow the enemy's attack speed, turning around in front of the enemy is often a death sentence, as the turn is set to be slower than most creatures' attack speed. However, with a backstab, when Da Fei turned, the enemy also turned, so there was no problem.

The usual routine, a marathon around the island, and I still have two coconut fruits.

At this moment, the large sea anemone's attack produced results, seven rainbow lights blooming simultaneously from the seven tentacles!

A lucky hit! After so much fighting, a lucky hit finally appeared! A lucky hit deals double the maximum damage, and the sea anemone's maximum damage is triple, so a lucky hit deals six times the damage! For a creature with such a slow attack speed, a lucky hit is incredibly exciting!

Boom! The boss's massive body collapsed!

In that instant, Da Fei shouted excitedly, "Captain!!! I want to learn the luck skill!!!"

In that instant, Da Fei recalled a famous quote from a rogue gambler: "I don't ask for good luck or bad luck, I just want normal luck!"

Now, Da Fei had done everything he could. When good luck unexpectedly arrived, success was just around the corner! Da Fei laughed triumphantly.

The second boss also fell without any suspense, providing the sea anemone with the nourishment to grow two more tentacles and leveling Da Fei to level 14.

Now, the large sea anemone had nine tentacles, a formidable force. As a plant monster, the sea anemone could not move and could be easily defeated by a small archer, making it extremely weak. However, as a plant monster, it had its own way of existing. At least, its melee combat ability should be extremely powerful.

So, the more ferocious the subsequent monster attacks, the more nourishment they provided, and the more experience Da Fei gained. Now, Da Fei had recruited two small sea anemones, and his military strength was at its peak.

As the silver moon set into the sea, the final and seemingly climactic boss finally appeared, but in the face of Da Fei's overwhelming military strength, everything was without suspense.

Renoir sighed, "Adventurer, we have overcome the difficulties. Not only have I not been severely injured, but I have also bathed in the silver moonlight all night, which is truly beyond my imagination."

Da Fei chuckled, "Where, where, it's this sea anemone that is truly beyond my imagination."

Indeed, if two players had worked together to sink the ship, they would not have discovered the hidden boss after the tide receded, and thus would not have found the resources to build the brood nest. Even if they had successfully cultivated a brood nest in the undead world, it would have been a malnourished version, far from the abnormal strength of this one.

Renoir nodded, "Your performance has greatly impressed me. I have nothing to thank you with for now, but I will give you this ship. When you return, patch the holes, replace the sails, and wait for the storm. The strong wind will allow the ship to leave the shoal, and you, being a natural sailor, will surely achieve something in the storm!"

Da Fei suddenly understood! Now he finally understood why the examiner had sent him here! For a player with average talent, sailing in a storm would be suicidal!

Renoir continued, "I will now destroy the barrier with all my strength. My soul will reside in this sword. Take this sword and leave. When my strength is restored, I will reappear and assist you in avenging the fraudster!"

With that, a burst of soul fire erupted from Renoir's body, and his skeletal form exploded. A shockwave from the sword swept across the island, and thunder roared in the sky. In a flash of white light, the scene changed, and Da Fei found himself back on the coconut tree-covered island with a clear blue sky and sea. A series of system notifications flooded the screen.
