God-level Hero
Chapter 1416 - 1316: Occupying the Bat Nest
Generally speaking, as long as the System Prompt pops a warning about an ultimate skill, it’s bound to be insanely overpowered. Back then the Abyss Blood Demon King’s Sky-reaching Blood Cannon was like that, and even earlier, the Flesh Demon’s Blood Cannon in Divine Punishment City, which could one-shot Angels, was the same story.
So Da Fei activated the Great Positioning Technique without the slightest hesitation! If even ducking into an Otherworld can’t dodge it, then this BOSS really is invincible.
As Da Fei’s ultimate went off, the entire world in front of him turned gray-black and silent. The rapid HP plunge caused by the sound bomb came to an abrupt stop, his blurred vision and hearing also quickly recovered, and then he saw the BOSS’s almost tangible, visible sound waves rampaging back and forth through the passage like a raging storm!
Da Fei couldn’t help but grin. Not only did he dodge the ult, but all those layers of sound bomb debuffs the enemy spent so long stacking on him got wiped clean the moment he slipped away! When he goes back out, he just tosses a Healing Skill on himself and he’s once again a full-HP tough guy from scratch!
This was the second way he’d found to counter bats after that last sonic showdown. At the end of the day, these bats might be weird, but they’re only good for low-tier games. No wonder the Prince’s Demon King old man didn’t think much of them.
Sigh, now he didn’t think much of them either. Whatever, just treat it as introducing a new species to fine-tune the Dark Ecosystem.
A few seconds later, the "storm" subsided. Da Fei, in perfect condition, turned off the Great Positioning Technique and returned to the passage once more. He raised his hand and cast a Healing Skill to restore his HP, then continued charging forward through the tunnel.
Then the bats’ sound bombs in the passage resounded again, once more stacking all kinds of debuffs on Da Fei. Da Fei laughed: "Go ahead, stack as long as you like!"
Just then, the System Prompt clanged again:
——System Prompt: Warning! The fleet of your Follower Hero Tamilia, currently on Independent Expedition, is under attack!
Da Fei’s heart jolted, then he was overjoyed! They’d made contact! That meant Tamilia had finally linked up with Savara and the others! Awesome, hold the line, you must hold the line!
With even the NPCs fighting so beautifully, Da Fei certainly refused to lag behind. He took even bigger strides forward, and finally, a patch of red light at the end of the passage entered his increasingly blurry vision. No need to ask—this had to be the BOSS’s lair.
And right at this moment, another high-energy alarm exploded—BOSS’s second wave of ult had arrived. But aside from letting Da Fei calculate the BOSS’s ultimate cooldown, it was clearly useless. Da Fei dodged again with the Big Instant Teleportation Skill.
Looks like that’s all there is to this BOSS skill. Nothing more to say—use the downtime while his ult is on cooldown to summon the Angel Army and slaughter the BOSS!
When Da Fei charged to the end of the passage, a huge stone-cavern hall opened up before his eyes, and he was instantly stunned by the sight!
Inside the stone cavern was a massive Blood Lake. Hanging from the ceiling above the lake’s surface were countless shriveled corpses of creatures, and hundreds of large bats hanging upside down. Among this bat swarm, one enormous bat hanging from a giant red crystal, its entire body gleaming blood-red, instantly caught Da Fei’s eye—BOSS!
The next moment, the BOSS let out a piercing screech, and the hundreds of bats dove straight at Da Fei at the passage entrance!
With this many still left behind, one could imagine how many had gone out. Nothing more to say now—fight!
Angel Space, summon! Blood Eagle, summon! Petrification Aura, activate! Holy Frost Aura, activate!
For the current Da Fei, as long as it’s melee, as long as the enemy has no hero, as long as they’re not a God-level Monster, he can take on a hundred with ten, no discussion needed. These bats, having given up sonic attacks to close in for melee, Da Fei didn’t take them seriously at all, not to mention he had both Petrification and Holy Freeze two major slowing auras activated!
The close-quarters fight began, with zero suspense. As lines of "Life Steal Invalid" and "Plague Invalid" popped up over the Angels’ heads, these bats were no different from normal mobs.
Exactly—Holy Body, immune to all Spirit Magic and plague effects. That’s the unique edge that makes Angels the top-tier unit of the Human Race. When you run into Angels, you can only fight them head-on in broad daylight, and head-on brawling is clearly not what bats are good at.
As bat after bat fell, a gap was carved in the densely packed swarm. Da Fei immediately ordered Ror, Anvil, Nerxia, the three Contract Angels, to dive straight at the BOSS in the rear! As for the normal bats in front of him, the basic slashes from 10 ordinary Blazing Angels were more than enough.
Yes, do not give the BOSS a chance to fire a third ult, even though Da Fei himself didn’t know exactly how powerful that ultimate really was.
The BOSS fight still had no suspense. So-called BOSS, in front of Da Fei, was nothing more than a bat with a very long HP bar, especially since Ror herself was a major BOSS. When tons of damage numbers exploded over the BOSS’s head, its defeat was already sealed!
With a miserable scream, the blood-red bat crashed heavily to the ground!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You have killed the Shadow Blood Bat King, gaining Experience +4.75 million. You have obtained material Blood Bat Fang ×3! 15 remaining Shadow Blood Bats, cowed by your might, request to surrender. Do you accept?
Blood Bat Fang: S-rank forging material, can be used to craft weapons.
Da Fei couldn’t help but grin. They even come with a surrender-and-recruit option! Accept!
——System Prompt: Battle over! You have recruited 15 level-8 units: Shadow Blood Bats. You have occupied a level-17 wild unit building: Shadow Blood Bat Nest! You have obtained information on God-level Leadership Skill.
——Shadow Blood Bat Nest: A nest that can recruit level-8 units Shadow Blood Bats. Its output depends on how saturated the Blood Pool energy in the nest is. Special skill: Creature Blood Sacrifice. Slaying creatures and throwing them into the Blood Pool can increase the pool’s energy. The higher the grade of the creature, the more Blood Pool energy it provides.
(Note: Players can dismantle occupied wild nests and recycle them. Recycling will grant nest construction blueprints and random resources. The dismantling time depends on the player’s Construction Skill and the number of units participating in the dismantling. Current dismantling time required: 43 days.)
——Shadow Blood Bat: Large Flying Creature, Attack 47, Defense 30, Damage 30–45, HP 800, Mana 300, Attack Speed 13, Magic Resistance 50%, Command Value 50, Stamina 200. Special skills: Stealth, Sound Bomb Attack, sonic reconnaissance, Bloodsucking Recovery, Plague Attack. Light Phobia.
Light Phobia: Weakness skill. Shadow Blood Bats’ combat strength will continuously decrease under strong light, up to a maximum reduction of 75%.
...
A level-17 unit building that recruits level-8 units! Da Fei was stunned on the spot!
Generally, when players build a city, the max level they can upgrade buildings to is level 10. Going any higher may require Grandmaster-level Construction Skill. And the huge cost of upgrading a building to level 10 is something only a Tycoon can afford! Running into a level-17 building out in the wild, Da Fei could hardly imagine it! Just how many years have the monsters been developing to achieve this?
And now, Da Fei had no choice but to dismantle it! If he dismantles and rebuilds it, of course it’ll start from level 1 again. What a pity, what a waste. If this were in the China Region, he’d never do something like this. Whatever, just treat it as a freebie.
Shaking his head, Da Fei started checking this level-8 unit’s attributes, and his jaw dropped again!
God damn! These attack and defense attributes really aren’t much better than a level-7 unit. The HP barely qualifies it as a level-8. Basically, this is a unit that lives off weird special skills. But can someone tell him what the hell is up with this lame "Light Phobia" skill? Can they still roam beneath blue skies and white clouds like this? This was the third fatal weakness Da Fei had found on the Shadow Bat!
Da Fei let out a silent sigh. Fine, fine, this is the price of being weird. Up to now, aside from the Evil Demon, he didn’t have many units that could be mass-produced. Having a barracks at all at least meant he finally had some expendable forces.
Now that he had finally captured the nest, there was no need to rush the dismantling. It’d take him alone 43 days—better to wait until the main force arrived.
And looking at the dismantle option, it seemed he could only recycle the blueprints but not the Blood Pool itself. That would be a huge waste! That Blood Pool was obviously full of nutrients. Nothing more to say—before dismantling, wait for the main army to come and barrel it all away, just like when they barreled up that pool water of Cindigosar’s back then.
As for now, with 15 more units at his disposal, of course he’d go capture all six small nests in the side tunnels back at the fork. He wondered how Tamilia Savara and the others were doing. Hopefully everything was fine. Just as Da Fei was thinking that, the System Prompt clanged again:
——System Prompt: Warning! The troops of your Independent Expedition Hero Elena are under attack!
Fuck! Full-scale war on all fronts! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
