Chapter 1170 Preemptive Strike

“Ahya!”

Gao Fei recited the spell.

A strange golden halo flowed along the surface of the fire snake lizard, forcing its huge body weighing hundreds of tons to slowly shrink and twist.

The twelve heads of the snake lizard howled in pain at the same time, struggling desperately, but unable to change the fate of being dominated by magic, and finally turned into a group of little chicks that were only the size of a fist and looked like a ball of fluff.

“Malicious Transfiguration” completely changed the physique of the twelve fire snake lizards from the cell and even gene level. Not only did they look like a fragile little chicken, but they also lost their racial talent of being immune to fire damage.

The little chicks screamed and fell into the lava lake, and were submerged by the magma in a blink of an eye, scalded to death.

Gao Fei confirmed that the B-level task “Hunting twelve fire snake lizards” had been completed, closed the star disk task bar, and smiled at Xiao Ma, who was full of anger.

“Good luck.”

This was just a polite remark pretending to be modest.

In fact, before casting the spell, he transferred all 13 free attributes to charm, and with the addition of "Eagle's Majesty", he stacked the charm attribute to 36, and the spell immunity difficulty was as high as 29. If the twelve fire snakes can still withstand it, it would be called dog shit luck!

Gao Fei easily killed the twelve fire snakes with a challenge level of 13, and obtained 10,000 experience points.

The highlight is the B-level task reward - star disk energy +4, experience +30,000, and special service points 1,000 points!

Gao Fei spent the points he just got before he could even warm them up. After all, this thing does not earn interest if you keep it in your hands, so you can enjoy it early.

1,000 points, not a lot, but not a little, can be exchanged for 10 million cash, a 6-ring magic scroll, an A-level profession, a medium-grade magic guide device, or an A-level specialty.

Gao Fei compared the prize list and felt that exchanging for a specialty was the most cost-effective.

There are quite a few A-level specialties, but unfortunately most of them require the learning of prerequisite specialties first, and some have strict requirements for occupations and attributes.

Gao Fei has few choices. After reading the list from beginning to end, the most suitable one is "Last strike first".

…

Last strike first (prerequisite: tooth for tooth): At the moment when the opponent is about to launch a melee attack, spend a reaction action to catch the opponent off guard and counterattack first.

…

From the literal description, "Last strike first" actually means to counterattack before the enemy launches an attack, and then you attack first, and then it is the opponent's turn to attack. If you can kill the opponent in one second, the opponent will have no chance to attack again.

If it is just to intercept first, "Last strike first" is not outstanding among all A-level specialties. Gao Fei pays more attention to another detail-when launching an interception, the opponent is equivalent to being "caught off guard".

If you think about it carefully, this is also reasonable.

When the opponent focuses all his energy on how to attack, he will inevitably be lax in defense. If he is attacked first, he will feel overwhelmed.

Targets in the "unprepared" state cannot dodge in time when attacked, and lose the agility bonus on defense.

More importantly, attacking unprepared targets can bring in sneak attack effects.

Gao Fei's exclusive professions "Spell Thief" and "Mimic" both have sneak attack capabilities.

Even the "Dragon Warrior" who does not have a sneak attack skill can bless the 2nd ring magic "See Through the Vital Gate" to temporarily obtain a 5d6 sneak attack effect.

It can be said that many of Gao Fei's tactics are built around "sneak attack".

He spent 1,000 points to exchange for "Preemptive Strike" mainly because he saw that he could use the "sneak attack" effect when he counterattacked first.

Take the "Spell Thief" for example. The 10th level has a 5d6 sneak attack, plus "See Through the Vital Gate", the sneak attack damage is as high as 10d6!

When the opponent tries to attack Gao Fei, he must first be hit by a "last strike first", counterattack plus sneak attack, opponents below the boss level will almost be killed instantly by his counterattack!

The 7th level "Mimic" wears the "Thief Mask", blesses "See Through the Vital Gate", and the sneak attack dice is 8d6. At first glance, it seems not as good as the "Thief", but Gao Fei can also wear the "Witcher Mask" and get the high-level witchcraft "Hungry Magic Blade" in the future. He can counterattack and cut two knives in a row, and each knife can bring in 8d6 sneak attack effects. Isn't it more terrifying? !

On the basis of "preemptive strike", Gao Fei can further enrich this "preemptive sneak attack" tactical system.

For example, if you learn the high-level expertise "Spell Counterattack", you can use melee magic such as "Electric Claw" and "Vampire Touch" to replace weapons, launch a counterattack, and then cooperate with the legendary expertise "Universal Sneak Attack", which can also bring in sneak attack effects.

There is also a high-level expertise called "Remote Opportunity", after learning, you can use remote weapons to take advantage of opportunities.

This means that when the enemy moves within the range of Gao Fei's pistol, he can shoot and intercept at the first time, and add additional sneak attack damage!

"It seems that I have to complete more tasks above B level and get all the required expertise as soon as possible."

Gao Fei suddenly felt that he had a goal to strive for, and he was full of energy.

Switching to the personal status page and opening the free expertise column, Gao Fei dismantled "Dual Wielder" and replaced it with the newly obtained "Preemptive Strike".

Gao Fei's main occupation "Tiangong Special Police" has already been upgraded to level 20. According to the boss and Dr. Vida, if he wants to break through the bottleneck and enter the legendary realm, he has to find a way out by himself. Tiangong's "cramming" upgrade system is powerless to do this.

Since there is no way to reach the legendary realm for the time being, it is meaningless to store too much experience points. It is better to upgrade directly to any secondary profession you like to improve your combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei burned 36,000 experience points in one breath and upgraded the "Thief" from level 10 to level 12.

After upgrading two levels in a row, the sneak attack damage increased to 6d6, and learned "Listen to the wind and identify the position" and the killer of the thief profession "Ghost Strike".

In addition, Gao Fei has two more slots for stealing spells, and he can't help but feel itchy.

The hostile creatures that have appeared in the volcanic area, such as fire demon bats, earthworms and fire snakes, do not have the ability to cast spells. Gao Fei can't get any benefits from the enemies, so he naturally sets his sights on his teammates.

Turning on the "Eye of Insight" and secretly peeking at Ma Yun's spell list, Gao Fei's lips curled up with a Mona Lisa-like smile.

"Mr. Richest Man, are you going to use the 4th level 'Armor Breaking Spell' and 'Advanced Defeat' you prepared today?"

"There are no monsters with particularly high defense in this volcanic area, so I can't use these two spells for the time being."

Xiao Ma was concentrating on remotely controlling a living lava giant to fight against seven fire snakes. When he heard Gao Fei's question, he answered truthfully without thinking too much.

"Brother Fei, what do you want to do by asking about this?"

Ma Yun suddenly became alert.
