Chapter 556: 4x Critical Attack, Kill!

“Squeak, squeak…”

More than half of the Bladed Beetles that leaped towards the Cave Spider Queen were swept away by the eight fast-moving limbs the moment they leaped towards it . They were sent flying away and were turned into minced meat when they slammed into the sharp boulder corners .

Despite that, several of the Bladed Beetles succeeded in hooking their dark red tails on the body of the Cave Spider Queen . Using their six limbs that had blade-like claws at the top, the Bladed beetles began crawling up the body of the Cave Spider Queen . Using their scythe-like front limbs, they slashed heavily at the Cave Spider Queen’s back and legs .

The Cave Spider Queen let out another high-pitched angry shriek .

While Feng Luo’s attack angered it so much that it had ignored the poison attacks of the Spray Beetles so that it could focus on killing Feng Luo, the annoying bugs that were entangling themselves on its body were things that it could not simply ignore .

“Splurt, splurt…”

The Bladed Beetles were unaffected by the poison liquids . As such, the Spray Beetles did not have to worry about friendly fire when they attacked .

“Tsst!”

Even the Elite Grade Steel Beetles that were on the ground had given up their original opponents . Instead, they used their continuous lasers to attack the Cave Spider Queen .

“Good…” Feng Luo praised 24K in his mind .

As the Cave Spider Queen’s movement slowed down significantly, Feng Luo took the chance and continued shooting with Wings of Death .

“Bang, bang, bang…”

“-10356!”

Fatal Damage . Remaining HP: 43% .

“-6450!”

Weak Point Damage . Remaining HP: 37% .

“-12334!”

Fatal Damage . Remaining HP: 32% .

…

Feng Luo’s attacks, the sustained focus fire of the Bladed Beetles, Spray Beetles, and Steel Beetles made a significant dent on the Cave Spider Queen’s HP .

“Shriek!”

However, as a powerful Quasi-Boss, the Cave Spider Queen was clearly not an opponent that could be killed by a bug squad swarm tactical maneuver, it shrieked angrily once more .

“Boom!”

Poison mist quickly shot out from the large poisonous teeth inside its mouth and spread to at least a dozen or so meters around it .

“-2000, -2000, -2000…”

Within that area, whether it was the Bladed Beetles or the Normal Grade Steel Beetles underneath it, they were experiencing huge HP losses accompanied by the stun effect .

The Bladed Beetles that had initially hooked themselves on the body of the Cave Spider Queen fell off its body within one second .

“Bang!”

“-3034!”

The green poisonous mist not only affected the attacks of the beetles, but even Feng Luo’s line of sight, resulting in Feng Luo only firing shots based on his instincts and experience, with the end result being a rare white color Normal Damage .

The green poisonous mist began to move with the Cave Spider Queen towards Feng Luo’s direction .

Although the speed of the poisonous mist was a lot slower, it was enough to stop Feng Luo from being able to hit the weaknesses of the Cave Spider Queen .

Moreover, speed was relative . Its actual movement speed was around 40 to 50 meters per second, it was comparable to the full-strength Charge of Light Armor Warriors .

After around five seconds, the Cave Spider Queen had moved within a hundred meters from Feng Luo . In this process, Feng Luo fired six more shots . Among them, two missed .

The other four bullets took out 10% of the Cave Spider Queen’s HP . Paired with the continuous AoE attack of the Spray Beetles, the Cave Spider Queen’s HP was now below 20% .

“Shriek!”

At that moment, the Cave Spider Queen’s surrounding green poisonous mist had disappeared .

However, after the Cave Spider Queen shrieked, its speed increased substantially again . In an instant, it got out of range of the Spray Beetles’ poison attacks before the Spray Beetles could react .

The Cave Spider Queen that had lost two of its limbs to the attacks of the Bladed Beetles leaped into the air . It opened its mouth and bared its poisonous teeth while charging towards Feng Luo’s location .

There were only 70 meters between them at that moment, and this frightening leap would have instantly covered that distance .

As the sun set in the background, the 20 meters long poisonous body of the Quasi-Boss, which was already halfway in the air, looked magnificent and deadly .

“Bang!”

The moment the Cave Spider Queen lifted its body off the ground, Feng Luo, who was on the cliff, had fired the last Double Armor-piercing Round from the magazine attached to Wings of Death at the completely exposed abdomen of the Cave Spider Queen descending from upon the sky .

At the same time, Feng Luo’s body was covered by a layer of red colored “Armor . ”

The Cave Spider Queen had 32,000 plus HP, which was over 16% .

The situation showed that a melee battle was imminent .

Truth be told, Feng Luo felt a bit speechless at the current situation .

After the first Fatal Damage shot achieved a critical attack effect, none of the ensuing 18 shots was a critical attack .

The critical attack rate of Wings of Death was supposed to be 30% . So, to have zero critical attacks even after more than a dozen shots, just how bad was his luck?

“Splat!”

The last B-Grade Double Armor-piercing Round struck in between the ghost face pattern on its abdomen . The first explosion completely blew a bowl-sized hole in the Cave Spider Queen’s tender abdomen .

The alloy bullet core that accelerated and flew inside and dealt explosive damage .

“-27568!”

Magnificent gold that was accompanied by the yellow of a Weak Point damage .

Compared to the earlier Weak Point damage, the damage value was several times higher . This was not a normal double critical hit, it was a four times critical hit .

The imposing Quasi-Boss leaped hundreds of meters across and landed in front of Feng Luo . However, the result was that after it had landed, its body slumped to the ground as it twitched a few times .

Its HP had dropped below 5% and it entered the Heavy Injury status .

Feng Luo had a surprised look on his face . Just as he was lamenting his bad luck, his last shot dealt over 20,000 damage for the first time since he started the game .

The probability of inflicting a critical attack with four times the original damage was a lot lower than the probability of inflicting a critical attack with double the damage .

Was it good luck, or bad luck?

Nonetheless, Feng Luo no longer needed to figure out that problem .

A Heavy Injury Quasi-Boss was lying in front of him, that was the most important thing he had to deal with at that moment .

“Ka!”

Feng Luo’s eyes were filled with excitement . He quickly changed the emptied Double Armor-piercing magazine .

The Cave Spider Queen’s HP was less than 3,000 . The Heavy Injury status significantly reduced its HP recovery rate, it would need at least 10 seconds before it could muster enough strength to battle .

For Feng Luo, he only needed one bullet to kill the Level 40 Quasi-Boss and obtain the experience, Merit, and items that would be provided by the Quasi-Boss .

“Luck… Not bad!”

“Bang!”

The last bullet exited the gun muzzle .

However, Feng Luo’s smiling face suddenly stiffened .

“Clang!”

The Armor-piercing bullet did not make the sound of entering flesh upon impact . Instead, it was the crisp sound of it striking on a layer of dimly lit green energy shield .

Feng Luo did not expect the Cave Spider Queen to be able to cast an energy shield under the Heavy Injury status .

Would this Quasi-Boss really use this shield to protect itself as it was nearing death, and by the time Feng Luo destroyed the shield, the Quasi-Boss would reappear with its HP bar completely full? For a Level 40 Quasi-Boss, was that not a little too strong?

“Bang!”

Feng Luo grimaced as he fired another bullet using Wings of Death at the energy shield . The dimly lit green energy shield fluctuated but did not disappear .

Instead, within the green energy shield, a dangerous aura began to appear, and was increasing very rapidly .

“Hmm… no, is this… Self-destruct?” Once the weird atmosphere that the system created appeared, Feng Luo’s face relaxed .

He was not unfamiliar with that atmosphere . Back then before the Steel Beetle died, something similar to this also occurred .

Boss Grade creatures would choose to destroy their crystal cores whenever escape was no longer an option for them . In that case, it would not only destroy their energy crystal cores, but they would also be able to crush those greedy adventurers to pieces, appeasing their hatred and anger .

Faced with such situations, the only solution was to either quickly empty the HP of the Boss monster, or to inflict a Fatal Damage to cancel its self-destruction .

However, at the moment, the dangerous aura within the dim light green energy shield expanded rapidly within one second as if it was a balloon .

A Level 40 Quasi-Boss crystal core was worth between hundreds of thousands and millions of credits .

Was Feng Luo going to risk dying and losing a level, to try and destroy the energy shield and cancel the self-destruction for a crystal core that was the equivalent of a top Rare Grade gear? Or was he going to…

Without any hesitation, Feng Luo turned around and ran towards the cliff at full-speed . In a few steps, he reached the cliff and immediately jumped off .

“Boom!”

A large explosion occurred behind him as green mist spread all over the place .

[You’ve killed Cave Spider Queen (Level 40 Quasi-boss) . Kill Contribution: 65 . 3% . Obtained Experience: 13,600 . Obtained Merits: 10 . ]

[Congratulations! You’ve leveled up . Current Level: 53 . ]

[Your pet has leveled up . Current Level: 41 . ]

[Your Symbiotic Life Protozoa has leveled up . Current Level: 32 . ]

After that, a series of system notifications popped up and flooded Feng Luo’s vision .
