Chapter 175 Crazy Shark on Land (Subscribe)
Ma Tao cast a spell again, consuming 3 points of magic power, and summoned another fierce rat to continue investigating the remaining caves.
He repeated the summoning four times until he entered the eighth - and last - cave. The fierce rat finally smelled the breath of a living creature, and after tentatively crawling forward for only two steps, it was swallowed by the giant beast entrenched in the deep underground cave. It didn't even have time to scream before it reached the stomach.
Ma Tao sensed that his summoned creature was devoured, rubbed his stinging temple, took a deep breath, turned around to face his curious teammates, and told them the results of the investigation.
"Brother Daqing guessed right, there is indeed a shark lizard beast hidden deep in the cave!"
"The good news is that there is only one." Gao Fei smiled bitterly, "Brother Tao, have you collected data on the shark lizard beast? Share it on the team page."
Ma Tao nodded and shared the information obtained by sacrificing the summoned creature with his teammates.
The shark lizard beast is a "super-large magical beast" with no clear good or evil orientation. It is like a wild beast that preys on the weak with its instincts. Its attributes are:
Strength 27, Agility 15, Constitution 20, Intelligence 2, Perception 13, Charisma 6
Seeing this, Gao Fei couldn't help scratching his head.
The shark lizard beast's strength attribute is as high as 27, which has exceeded his red dragon form. This is a match made in heaven.
The shark lizard beast is extremely strong, with the "robust" specialty, a life value of up to 121, and a level 12 natural armor. Taking into account other modifications, the comprehensive defense level is as high as 22.
Gao Fei did a simple mental calculation. Even if he turned into a red dragon, the probability of physical attacks breaking the shark lizard beast's defense is only 50%. He will have to use dragon breath more later. The supernatural flame is obviously more effective in killing shark lizard beasts than physical attacks.
Compared to defense, the shark lizard beast's attack power is even more outrageous!
This huge monster can use its two front claws and full fangs to launch "multiple attacks", hitting three times in one round, with a basic damage dice of 3d6. With the super high strength modifier, its lethality is even better than that of the flying red dragon!
The shark lizard beast is also good at a variety of combat skills, including "Weapon Focus (Tianwu)", "Jumping Mastery" and the most brutal "Deadly Dive" - similar to the red dragon's "Dive and Crush", but with a running jump instead of a flying dive.
In addition, the shark lizard beast also has auxiliary specialties such as "Dark Vision", "Acute Smell", "Tremor Sense", "Alertness" and "Survival Expert". It is very alert and it is almost impossible to easily deal with it by means of sneak attacks or traps.
The most headache is that this guy is not only fast and high in jumping, but also good at digging holes. If he can't beat it, he will go into the hole. Who can stop it?
Who dares to go into the hole to chase the shark lizard beast?
When thinking of these problems, not only Gao Fei had a headache, but his teammates beside him were also frowning.
"How about... let's just take a detour." Li Jiajia said timidly, "Anyway, no one asked us to kill the shark lizard beast, just pretend that we didn't meet it..."
Jiang Feng glanced at her with condemnation in his eyes.
"We can pretend to be confused and retreat without fighting, but the shark lizard beast is here, and there will always be others who are unfortunate enough to meet this ferocious monster and suffer from its murderous hands... It's not that we should be responsible for this or feel guilty, but we don't even dare to try to challenge this monster. We can't lie to ourselves and say that we have tried our best, right?"
"I'm sorry, Sister Feng... blame me for being too timid and selfish." Li Jiajia lowered her head in shame.
Jiang Feng gently held her hand, sighed, turned around and asked Gao Fei: "You are the backbone of our team. To be honest, how confident are you in fighting against the shark lizard beast? If even you are not confident, we can only retreat first as Jia Jia said, and then ask the company commander for help after returning to the base."
"If I fight the shark lizard beast alone..." Gao Fei pondered for a moment, and said carefully: "Give me 10 minutes to upgrade and reset points. On the premise of being fully prepared, conservatively estimate... 70% chance of winning!"
"Brother Fei has always been cautious in doing things. If he said 70% chance of winning, we can treat it as 90%." Ma Tao smiled and interjected.
"That's it!" Qi Tian clapped his hands, "Brother Fei is certainly not fighting alone! My owl bear has thick skin and flesh, and Sister Feng's sandworm can also push to the front row to help Brother Fei share the pressure. The others can just hide in the distance and provide assistance."
Jiang Feng's face also softened, and he patted Gao Fei's shoulder and said, "I'm counting on you today, come on!"
"Spiritual encouragement is useless, you have to be practical." Gao Fei took the opportunity to ask for a sky-high price, pointing to his cheek, "Come on, give me a kiss here, give me courage!"
"Ah! Saying such things in front of everyone, Cou is shameless!"
The onlookers who were stuffed with dog food shouted in unison, and Jiang Nvxia blushed with embarrassment.
Kissing the face is purely a thought, but she is happy to kick the hooligan Cou on the ass.
In fact, there are some truths that hurt people's self-esteem, which Gao Fei is embarrassed to say in person.
He is 100% sure to ensure that he will be invincible when fighting against the shark lizard beast alone.
The reason is actually very simple.
After all, the shark lizard beast can't fly. Even if Gao Fei can't beat it, at least he can fly up to avoid being attacked. When the dragon's breath cools down, he will spray it again. Repeatedly using this hit-and-run routine, it's hard to lose.
However, the shark lizard beast also has a special skill of digging holes. If it can't beat the red dragon, it will burrow into the soil. Gao Fei can't do anything about it.
If teammates also intervene in this conflict, things will become more difficult.
Since the shark lizard beast cannot hit the flying red dragon in the sky, it can always vent its anger on Gao Fei's teammates who can't fly. Gao Fei can't just sit back and watch, so he can only be forced to land and hold the shark lizard beast. As a result, the chance of winning is not as high as a single fight.
Considering the mentality and safety of teammates, and the practical need to eradicate evil, Gao Fei decided to reluctantly give up the spare 2200 experience points and spend a huge amount of money... 300 points to upgrade the secondary profession "Dragon Warrior" to level 2 and learn the "Taunt" skill.
With "Taunt", when the shark lizard beast tries to escape by drilling a hole or attacking others, Gao Fei can force a wave of hatred and force the monster to attack himself instead.
In addition, Gao Fei also washed the points and added two free attributes to strength and charm respectively.
In this way, Gao Fei's strength attribute in the red dragon form can be sustained to 26, which is on par with the shark lizard beast.
The Charisma attribute raised to 16 points can enhance the Willpower DC of the "Taunt" skill, ensuring that the hatred is pulled more steadily.
As for the three free specialties, Gao Fei chose Perseverance, Power Attack and Improved Charge, the standard "violent flow" configuration.
