“Damn it, that Quasi-Boss appeared at the center so suddenly.”
Over a dozen white lights of death brightened the area at the same time. There was no need to mention what caused the high number of death in such a short amount of time.
No one would have imagined that the Quasi-Boss monster would appear right in the middle of the team when so many Scouts had been using their Detection skill the whole time.
Amidst the bright lights, a Manipulator player shouted loudly, “Agh! Damn it! I was bitten!”
After his teammates were attacked, the fire energy shield he had activated was instantly gone.
He felt a surge of pain coming from his leg, and a poison damage number of over 2,000 per second popped up above his head.
The damage number was undoubtedly frightening. While a Doctor player immediately threw a blood tonic and an Expert Level antidote on his body, the poison damage per second was still over 1,000, and there was no way he was going to survive it.
However, when he shouted loudly, it helped several players see, albeit vaguely, the thing that attacked him.
It was a small one-foot long lizard-like creature whose body was blurry and somewhat translucent.
The lizard could control its camouflage ability freely. It did not reveal itself even after being affected by the energy flames. It only revealed its body slightly at the moment it attacked the Manipulator player. After that, it disappeared instantly and caused the skill attacks that nearby players threw at it to miss.
“Scouts! Hurry up!” Frontline Command had turned around as he shouted to the Scout players gathered around him.
“I can’t detect it. It has an anti-detection skill. I can’t locate its position.”
“I can’t find it either…”
The battle-hardened Scout players did not need to say that they had used the Detection skill. Nonetheless, most of the Scouts’ recon meters did not show the location of the monster.
“It is a Level 70 Quasi-Boss monster. It only has 250,000 HP. It is incredibly quick and its anti-detection ability is way too strong.” The Nine-Star Guild Scout who fought against Feng Luo before in the arena said. The silver recon meter he was holding showed some info about the monster at last.
It did not take long for the orange dot that appeared on the recon meter, which signified the Quasi-Boss monster, to vanish instantly. There was no time to lock it down.
“Be careful, Old North, the Quasi-Boss monster is charging toward you guys.” In that brief moment, Frontline Command, who only managed to see the general direction, shouted through the loudspeaker.
With his reminder, the players in that area hastily scattered around and kept their distance between one another. This helped prevent another instant KO situation from occurring.
However, a Machine Gunner player failed to dodge in time. One of his calves was bitten by this small but agile Quasi-Boss lizard monster.
“-2000, -2000…”
The damage received from being bitten was not high, it was only in the double digits. However, the consequent poison damage was incredibly frightening, taking 2,000 health each second.
In just three seconds, the Machine Gunner had spasmed and turned into the white light of death before the Doctor players reached him to help.
“The poison is crazy!”
Several players’ colors changed after witnessing the scene before them.
Such crazy poison. The only ones capable of withstanding them were probably the Heavy Armor Warriors.
After all, they were fully clad in heavy and thick armor. Theoretically, a small lizard like this should not be able to bite through it.
Even if they were bitten, with over 20,000 HP, high negative affliction resistance, and the assistance of Doctor players; Heavy Armor Warriors were a lot less likely to die.
However, the problem was that the warrior professions were all placed in the outer ring of the team.
When the Quasi-Boss Hypertoxic Chameleon appeared, the remaining normal Chameleons on the hamada seemed to have gone crazy at the same time and started attacking the players together.
In an instant, with enemies on both sides, the battlefield became quite chaotic. The white light of death even appeared among those located in the outer layers.
While the players were able to deal with the Hypertoxic Chameleons without taking any damage, dealing with a horde of over Level 60 monsters was not an easy feat.
Not to mention there were also a bunch of Elite Grade monsters as well as a few Commander Grade monsters mixed. While the good equipment of the players prevented them from being killed in one hit, two or three attacks landing at the same time would be enough to kill a player.
The Quasi-Boss lizard disappeared completely after attacking that Machine Gunner earlier. After the attack, it had hidden somewhere again.
The monster was small, and with its perfect camouflage ability, it was able to hide from the players. By the time its area of effect skill cooldown elapsed, it was going to kill more than one player.
“Old Kong, even your Legendary Grade recon meter can’t pinpoint the location of this Quasi-Boss monster?” Frontline Command, who stood beside the Scout player, asked with an anxious expression on his face.
“This guy’s camouflage ability is too strong, and we have a 20 level difference. With my Detection skill in cooldown, even a Legendary Grade recon meter is useless. Unless I had the Force, then I’d be able to activate the bonus skill ‘Tracer.’ Otherwise…” The Scout Player with the ID ‘Jing Kong’ stared at the silver recon meter called ‘Tracer’ that he was holding in his hand while shaking his head with a serious expression.
“Will you be able to locate it if you activate the skill?” A voice came from beside Feng Luo.
The reason that Feng Luo appeared in that location was quite simple. Although the Nine-Star Guild did not let Frontline Command expose Feng Luo’s hidden profession due to some reasons, if the situation turned sour, he would still have to use the Force to activate his profession’s device. Since this was the first base battle, the chances of something unexpected occurring was even higher.
To be prepared, Feng Luo was not with Big Pineapple and the others at that moment, instead, he stayed with the Nine-Star Guild’s commanding team.
From Frontline Command’s words just now, Feng Luo understood why the Scout player was able to discover the Scout Beetles at such a long distance in the arena.
The detection ability of a Legendary Grade recon meter was, without a doubt, a lot stronger than a Rare Grade recon meter.
“That’s right. The recon meter’s bonus skill allows the recon meter to maintain a strengthened and enhanced detection status. No matter how good the Quasi-Boss monster is at hiding, we’d be able to find it.” Jing Kong nodded and said confidently.
Although Feng Luo was the only outsider among those in the area, after learning that Feng Luo was the Sniper in the arena, Jing Kong became quite intrigued and interested in him.
Earlier, he invited Feng Luo to another PK match, and the two of them were getting very well-acquainted.
Of course, Feng Luo declined the offer with a bitter smile. He really did not want to have another PK match with anyone.
“Then take this.” Immediately after Jing Kong answered confidently, Feng Luo passed a red syringe to him.
“This is… F*ck me. This is actually the…” Jing Kong initially received the “Quasi Force Potion” from Feng Luo suspiciously. After he saw the stats of the potion, both his eyes widened as he cursed a few times.
“Hurry up. If the Quasi-Boss attacks again, we’ll be suffering a lot of losses.” Feng Luo reminded him.
Feng Luo did not plan to bring out the Force Potion so quickly. Due to time constraints, Lin was only able to produce around a dozen or so of these Quasi Force Potions.
If he were to reveal the fact that he had these with him early, it was almost a given that those with Legendary Grade items would start to bug him.
However, the current situation was quite bad.
They did not know where the Quasi-Boss was hiding. By the time its skill’s cooldown was over, a dozen or so players would likely face instant death. This was the time for him to bring the potions out.
“Immediately.” Jing Kong nodded excitedly, injecting the needle into his body.
He turned on his recon meter and pressed something on the device.
“Found it! It is over there!” After two seconds, the screen on the recon meter suddenly changed. A tiny orange dot that remained immobile suddenly appeared right behind a Heavy Armor Warrior’s alloy shield.
