Chapter 96

The giant eel Vicari, due to its special character setting, has left players racking their brains and unable to pass it.

According to the official statement, Vicari's level setting is not high, but no one knows which game designer, after eating too much, actually gave Vicari the "cowardly" personality. This personality setting makes it immediately retreat into a hole once it receives sufficient damage, and no matter what, it won't come out. After receiving countless complaints and curses, the game officials had no choice but to tell the players not to worry, that they would be able to pass it eventually...

Eventually, my brother-in-law!

When you're level 80? Will that work?

The players' lack of understanding left the game officials with no choice but to sigh and say... play if you want, or leave if you don't.

Of course, there were also many rational players. The "eventually" mentioned by the officials certainly did not refer to levels 80 or 100. It was estimated that a few more levels, maybe three or four, would be enough. However, the game could not design a completely unpassable level, so there might be some clever or special methods to pass it now.

After careful consideration, if the output is sufficient, since only one person can attack at the entrance of the hole, why not remove one output group and add two healers? Two healers can heal the output player crouching at the entrance of the hole. Why not? Some teams have already started to try it.

Sakura Rain, considering the speed, asked, "Two healers are certainly stable and safe, but this is just an elite monster, and there's still a big boss afterward. Adding two healers would significantly reduce the output. There's also the Battle of Promise to consider, so I'll call it first and see if it works. If not, I'll switch to another healer."

Yang Ye slowly swam toward the giant eel Vicari, his movements slowed by the water's resistance.

His arm gently moved, and some impurities in the water also drifted with the current. He moved forward a bit more, and Yang Ye's skills were already within range to attack Vicari. After some consideration, Yang Ye decided to swim a bit closer. If he used a skill and Vicari still had room to retreat, it would be embarrassing if it shrank back to avoid the gravitational control.

Speaking of which, Yang Ye had been learning gravitational control for a long time but had never used it on such a large creature. His subconscious believed that large creatures couldn't be pulled.

This time, it was a good opportunity for an experiment.

Yang Ye stood still, glanced at the giant eel Vicari, and took a look at its attributes—

Crazy Ballistic Missile Submarine-Type Eel - Vicari (Elite - Gold Level)

Level: 36

HP: 560,000 / 560,000

...

Skills:

Eel Whisker Attack: Eel whiskers can also attack! Vicari uses two of its powerful whiskers to attack two targets, causing damage and crippling them.

Burrow: In mud, it's like in the wind! Vicari burrows into the mud, gaining a huge speed boost. Its movement speed increases by 400%, but it can only stay in the mud for 3 seconds. After that, it will randomly choose a target and burst out of the mud, causing damage and knocking them back. This skill cannot be avoided.

Too Cowardly: Everyone has a weakness, and Vicari is no exception! When Vicari was young, it was hit on the head by Babu, leaving a psychological scar. After receiving sufficient damage, Vicari will hide in a hole and need bait to lure it out.

(Hidden: Drops: Vicari Eel Whisker Ring (Bronze), Vicari Eel Skin Armor (Gold))

Well, it turns out that the fear was caused by Babu. Indeed, anyone hit by Babu would probably be traumatized, leaving a significant scar. Not to mention the instant kill, just the speed to be hit by Babu is a skill. The eel Vicari must have had a lot of water in its head to be hit by Babu.

As for it not coming out, it's because there's no bait! Sigh, people die for wealth, birds die for food. But how do you get the bait?

Too lazy to think about it, Yang Ye decided to try his skills first—

He raised his arm, and the fiery red feathers on his arm gently fluttered, standing out in the somewhat cold water. He made a fist toward Vicari, aimed carefully, and then spread his fingers—

"Gravitational Control!"

A golden stream instantly shot out, speeding toward Vicari. The golden light was extremely bright, much more intense than the fiery red feathers on Yang Ye's arm.

Although the character's movements were slowed by the water, it did not affect the speed of the skill after it was released. The golden stream in gravitational control was still as fast as lightning, reaching Vicari in an instant.

Vicari stared blankly at the rapidly approaching golden stream, not understanding what it was.

"Slap!"

The gravitational control hit the center of Vicari's head. Then, Yang Ye's arm muscles twitched slightly, gently pulling the stream. On Vicari's side, it felt a force like the sky collapsing, almost pulling its head off its body—

"Ahh!"

Vicari let out a惨叫, then frantically twisted its body, constantly retreating. The constant twisting made the surrounding water murky, quickly enveloping the giant eel, making it invisible.

Yang Ye's golden stream of gravitational control remained tightly connected...

Sakura Rain and the others also swam to Yang Ye's side, watching his actions nervously. Everyone hoped for success, including Night Curtain, who was part of the team and had no reason to curse himself.

After a few moments, the effect of the golden stream of gravitational control disappeared, and Vicari stopped twisting, but the water was too murky to see clearly.

"Did it fail?" Lotus Rain asked.

"I don't know, but it didn't pull it over," Yang Ye said.

The others frowned and looked at the murky water, not saying anything.

Suddenly, a dark figure darted out of the murky water, its tail twisting wildly, heading straight for Yang Ye.

"Spread out, pay attention to your positions. Promise, block but don't pull aggro. Night Curtain, quickly take the aggro. Others, keep attacking," Sakura Rain commanded.

"Promise didn't succeed, should we still fight?" Lotus Rain asked, reflecting the doubts of the others.

"Hit the eel until it hides, then let Promise try again," Sakura Rain said, her eyes determined.

Since Sakura Rain said so, the others had no choice but to continue, focusing on the fight. Yang Ye controlled his output, mainly dodging until Night Curtain took the aggro, then he started attacking, but consciously controlled his damage to avoid stealing Night Curtain's aggro.

At this moment, Yang Ye finally saw the skill effects of Night Curtain's hidden class. He used two skills: one was a defensive status skill, which significantly increased his defense, as evidenced by the damage the eel dealt to him. The other was an aggro skill, which forced aggro for 3 seconds and added a large amount of aggro value. Night Curtain also had a lot of HP, over 7,000, comparable to Yang Ye, but his attack power was much lower, almost no output. Therefore, Night Curtain was a good teammate for dungeons, but a liability in PvP unless his HP was so high that it took a long time to bring him down.

"Vicari... Vicari's tentacles... no... whisker attack!!"

Vicari roared, tensed its body, and inflated itself into a ball. Then, two large whiskers, as thick as a person's thigh, grew rapidly, turning into two super-long giant whips, which then lashed out at Night Curtain—

"Clang!" "Clang!"

The whiskers hit Night Curtain, making two crisp sounds, like two pieces of steel colliding. Night Curtain staggered back two steps, with two damage numbers floating above his head—

"-1488"

"-1673"

The damage wasn't too high for Night Curtain. If it were anyone else, even Yang Ye, these two hits would have dealt at least 4,000 HP. It was clear that Night Curtain's tank class was truly tank-like, living up to the name "Iron Tower"... no, "Tower Iron."

"Night Curtain, hold steady, others continue," Sakura Rain shouted. There was no real danger, but she still reminded them out of habit.

"Understood," Night Curtain replied, stepping forward and continuing to hold the eel's attacks.

The five of them fought steadily, and the eel's HP slowly decreased. Due to the water, what was originally two attacks now took one, making the time much longer. Fortunately, the defense didn't increase much, and it seemed that underwater creatures naturally had more HP but were more fragile.

As they fought, after releasing a whisker attack, Vicari's small eyes darted around, and with a "swoosh," it burrowed into the ground, stirring up the water and disappearing.

"Where did it go?" Yang Ye asked.

Of course, he knew Vicari could burrow, but the others didn't know, so he had to ask, pretending to be ignorant.

"It burrowed. The eel has a skill that allows it to burrow into the ground for a few seconds. Don't worry, it will come out quickly. When it does, it will choose a target and burst out from under their feet. The skill can't be avoided, so be careful," Sakura Rain answered, her eyes scanning the surroundings, looking for Vicari.

The others did the same, nervously watching their surroundings, ready to support when Vicari appeared.

Yang Ye also watched, but he wasn't just looking around. He was directly watching Vicari underground...

The miner's hat clearly marked Vicari's position. He saw the eel moving rapidly in the mud, so fast that his head couldn't keep up. It paused briefly under each person's feet. Suddenly, Vicari stopped, turned around, and then, with a twist of its head, shot upward...

Seeing Vicari about to burst out of the mud, Yang Ye's face changed, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn, me?"
