Chapter 41: Strangling the Winter Wolf
The cold current spewed by the winter wolf covered a large area, and Gao Fei could not avoid it at all. He simply charged forward in the biting cold, slashing the winter wolf with one axe after another.
After turning on "Frenzy", Gao Fei's adrenaline surged, and his pain nerves became particularly dull. The cold air spewed by the winter wolf and the pain caused by its fangs and sharp teeth on his body were temporarily tolerable.
But he knew in his heart that this kind of life-and-death fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries and dying together could not last long.
The winter wolf had 5 points of natural defense, which was equivalent to wearing a chain mail, and its health was nearly twice as high as his. The two sides hurt each other, and Gao Fei's berserker would definitely be the first to die.
Basaka was the protagonist of this adventure module. Once he fell, the current mission would fail, and Jiang Feng would be forced to exit the game and start over.
Gao Fei did not want to implicate his friends, and was unwilling to miss the good situation. While dealing with the winter wolf, he used his brain to think about strategies to break through the predicament.
The ferocious winter wolf opposite reminded him of Jiang Feng's barehanded subduing of a lion in the Sevinia Arena. He suddenly had an idea and thought of a way.
Gao Fei roared and pretended to swing his axe with all his strength, inducing the winter wolf to dodge sideways. He suddenly threw away the battle axe and pounced on the winter wolf with both hands.
The winter wolf never expected that this barbarian would give up his weapon on his own initiative. He was stunned and had no time to dodge. He was pounced on by Gao Fei. His neck was tightly strangled by the strong arms of the berserker, and he felt difficult to breathe.
The man and the wolf wrestled together, flattening the grass, and blood was spilled everywhere. The wolf blood and human blood were mixed together and could not be distinguished.
Gao Fei held the winter wolf tightly and would rather die than let go. The two sides were close together, and their fists and claws could not be used. While rolling and wrestling, they were also engaged in a power-based grappling confrontation.
In the violent state, Basaka's strength attribute increased to 23, 3 points higher than the winter wolf, and he had a firm advantage in the grappling confrontation.
Gao Fei quickly gained an advantageous position, pressed the winter wolf under himself, clamped his legs tightly around the wolf's back, and grabbed his left upper arm with his right hand around the wolf's neck. His left hand pressed down on the back of the winter wolf's head like a lever, inadvertently forming a non-standard "naked choke" posture.
The winter wolf was strangled by him, and his fangs were useless. He could only kick and scratch desperately, trying to shake off the berserker on his back.
This fight has evolved into a protracted battle of bloodiness and endurance between the two sides. The raging fighting spirit burned in Gao Fei's violently beating chest, making his blood boil. At this moment, there was no other distraction in his mind except strangling the evil wolf.
The stalemate between the two sides lasted for more than ten minutes. During this period, Gao Fei's first "violent" reached the time limit, but he did not retreat. He did not hesitate to stimulate "violent" again to keep his strength attribute at its peak.
Thanks to his "Perseverance" feat, Gao Fei did not fall into exhaustion after his first rampage. He was scratched all over by the wolf's claws, but he still maintained a steady "naked choke" state, continued to put pressure on the winter wolf, and finally strangled the beast to foam at the mouth and faint.
After confirming that the winter wolf had lost consciousness, Gao Fei stood up despite the pain, picked up the battle axe, raised his hands above his head, and with a roar, he chopped off the winter wolf's head!
In this battle, he used the first-person perspective to fight against the winter wolf, which was stronger than him, and finally won with difficulty.
Although he was injured in many places and bleeding, he was in a very good mood and couldn't help but howling to the sky.
After venting, Gao Fei staggered to find Jiang Feng, intending to help her get rid of the remaining enemies.
After walking a few steps, he saw Jiang Feng's monk and ghost first mate hurried over. The two of them worked together to eliminate four dire wolves and were looking for Gao Fei.
After learning that Gao Fei had killed the most difficult winter wolf, Fred Lange's ghost showed a relieved expression. After thanking him and Jiang Feng, he revealed that he had hidden the treasure map and silver ointment in the tree hole of the big tree on the south bank of the spring before his death. After that, he slowly dissipated and his soul returned to heaven.
At the same time, Gao Fei received a series of system prompts:
· Complete the ghost Fred Lange's dying commission and gain 300XP experience points!
· Achieve a plot milestone, star disk energy +1 (6 paths/day)!
· Berserker upgraded to level 4! Attribute points +1! Learned the professional ability "Earthquake"!
…
Gao Fei did not hesitate to add the newly added attribute points to strength, making Basaka's strength attribute reach 20, and temporarily soared to 24 points after turning on the rage!
All strength points may not be the most reasonable strategy, but for the Berserker, this is the only way to show the aesthetics of violence.
Reaching level 4 is a threshold. The high-flying berserker finally learned the first AOE ability, "Earthquake".
…
Earthquake: Once per round, it is activated as a bonus action. By stomping your feet or slamming your weapon on the ground, a shock wave is triggered, causing impact to all targets within 15 feet (5 meters) around. If the reflex save fails, you will fall down. The save DC depends on the strength attribute. The berserker himself is not affected.
…
As a control skill, "Earthquake" is still very good, which just makes up for the berserker's lack of AOE tricks.
Enemies affected by the earthquake need to use a reflex save to avoid falling. The calculation formula for the difficulty (DC) of the save is 10 + the berserker's strength modifier + the proficiency modifier.
Basaka's strength modifier is +5 and his proficiency modifier is +2 in normal state. The DC of the Earthquake save is 17. When the "Frenzy" state is turned on, the DC of the save increases to 19 as the strength increases. For creatures of the same level, even a monk like Suma who is extremely agile and good at reflex saves has a 60% chance of being knocked over by his kick, not to mention those opponents who are not good at agility.
After learning this trick, Gao Fei will not be afraid of being surrounded in the future.
No matter how many enemies there are, as long as they are no more than 5 meters away from him, he will stomp them all down with one foot!
In addition to the new abilities obtained by upgrading, Gao Fei got an additional bonus expertise because he passed the level again without reloading the game - "Alertness" and "Power Attack", choose one of the two.
There is nothing to hesitate about. Since he is a berserker, it is right to choose "Power Attack" without thinking!
Common weapons are divided into two categories.
The first category of weapons is heavier, and only the strength attribute can be used to calculate hits and damage, such as Gao Fei's battle axe.
There is also a class of weapons that can use agility instead of strength to calculate hits and damage, such as bows and crossbows, as well as lighter weapons such as short swords, rapiers, daggers and throwing knives.
The "Power Attack" feat can include proficiency modifiers in weapon damage, but it is only effective for "strength weapons".
As a berserker, especially a berserker who is good at two-handed heavy weapons, you can fully exert the power of "Power Attack".
