Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 30 Armored Earthworm, Blue BOSS!

As night falls, the plains of Chenhui are covered with starlight.

"Sigh, the scenery is quite nice..."

Zhang Ruolin exclaimed, "If we could set up a tent here, hang a few nightlights, and have a barbecue stall with some beer, how wonderful a night would be!"

Xiao Bai was also a little fascinated.

“I’m from Suzhou. In the spring, many people do this along the East Taihu Lake in Suzhou. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to Suzhou as guests, and I will invite you to have a barbecue by the lake.”

"Ok!"

They both nodded together.

But soon, their faces showed a lot of worry.

"Can we really go home?"

Xiao Bai whispered, "I miss my mom and dad..."

Zhang Ruolin's eyes also reddened.

"Yes, it will definitely happen."

I looked up at the starry sky and thought, "Mom is still waiting for me to come back, waiting for me to find a job so I can take good care of her..."

The three of them felt inexplicably sad.

……

"drop!"

Just then, the map suddenly flashed, and a small golden dot appeared on the minimap, flashing continuously.

[Attention! Lost supplies have been discovered!]

These supplies were stolen by alien species, but were ultimately seized by another powerful life form!

Defeating the target will yield supplies!

I looked up at the two of them, and they looked up at me too; clearly, we had all received a hint.

"Having the coordinates makes things much easier!"

I switched to the Wind Whisperer and said, "Let's approach slowly and observe the situation first!"

"Ok!"

The three of them walked along the wasteland and soon approached within 2000 meters of the target. I immediately lay down on the ground and aimed at the target indicated by the mission with the scope of the Wind Whisperer. I immediately saw boxes of supplies piled up together in a low valley, but right next to the supplies, a huge creature was lying on the ground.

It looks like a heavy tank, covered in thick armor, and its head has mutated, with a mouth that can be split into three terrifying parts, just like the Devourer.

"It's a boss!"

I frowned: "It's too far away right now, we can't see the situation clearly. Let's go over and take a look. If we can defeat this BOSS, we'll try. If it's too strong, we'll give up the mission. Anyway, we've already achieved our goal of leveling up and upgrading the Yuan Power Furnace. We can skip the mission, but we absolutely cannot die."

"agree."

Xiao Bai smiled and said, "Ding Han, I've actually found that you're quite rational."

"That's called wisdom."

"clear."

Ruolin said, "Let's go then. Let's be careful not to attract any other monsters, lest things get complicated. The BOSS is already quite difficult to fight, and if we add the mobs, the chance of wiping the whole party will skyrocket."

"Well, let's go."

So the three of them slowly approached along the wasteland and finally appeared at the edge of the small valley.

At this moment, I was less than 50 meters away from the BOSS. After my gaze was fixed on him for as long as five seconds, finally some text and data appeared!

【Armored Earthworm】(Blue BOSS)

Rating: 20
Attack: 225-250
Defense: 150
Qi and blood: 20000
Skills: [Iron Armor Lv7], [Venom Spray Lv7], [Health Regeneration Lv7]

Details: The Armored Earthworm is a mutant from the wilderness. These armored earthworms not only possess strong vitality, but also have terrifying armor that can even withstand bullets. Unless you have powerful armor-piercing rounds, try not to provoke this powerful mutant life form!
……

"Holy crap, what kind of attribute is this?"

Zhang Ruolin frowned slightly: "150 points of defense, is this a BOSS prepared for players at this stage?"

"No."

I shook my head: "If nothing unexpected happens, most players at this stage can't handle this kind of BOSS. If we kill this BOSS, it will most likely be the first kill of the blue BOSS. Do you believe me?"

"It's a belief, but how do we take it down?"

Xiao Bai was somewhat frustrated: "Its defense is higher than our attack, and it has a massive 2 HP that can regenerate. There's no way to kill it, right?"

"maybe."

I frowned. "It can't be all good and no bad. Shall we give it a try? I feel like we have a chance to kill it. This big bug is too heavy, so it can't move very fast. If we're patient, we might be able to wear it down with a kite tactic. However, I respect your decision. If you don't want to try for safety's sake, we'll go back to Xicheng."

Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment.

"Fine, I believe Ding Han."

Zhang Ruolin said, "Shall we give it a try?"

"Row!"

Xiao Bai nodded emphatically: "Fortune favors the bold. Since you two have decided to give it a try, I certainly won't back down either. Besides, these high-defense monsters are less resistant to my psionic storm, which is one of my strengths."

"Okay, let's get started!"

I raised the Roarer, aimed at the head of the armored earthworm, and fired a burst of bullets. Sure enough, just as expected, the enemy's defense was too high, and the bullet damage was greatly reduced!

"11!"

"12!"

"9!"

The green Roarer only deals this much damage, so a basic weapon is even less worth mentioning!

"Hiss~~~"

The BOSS let out a hoarse roar, suddenly raised its head, and quickly opened its three-lobed mouthparts, spitting out a mouthful of green venom with a "pfft".

"careful!"

Xiaobai and Ruolin were shocked.

I remained completely calm, took a step forward and charged to the left, instantly missing the opponent's attack, and at the same time fired a burst of bullets at the opening of its mouth!

"63!"

"66!"

"61!"

"See that?" I said excitedly. "As long as you avoid its venom spit and shoot when it opens its mouth, you can deal normal damage. It only has 2 health points. 300 accurate shots will send it to its grave!"

"You make it sound so easy!"

Ruolin and Xiaobai also started firing in bursts, but their basic shooting skills were obviously not high, so their accuracy was far lower than mine.

"Hiss~~~"

The armored earthworm roared, but it never left the valley, only spewing venom in our direction.

"Did you see that?"

Xiao Bai seemed to have discovered something and said, "There is a plant root connecting the BOSS's body to the ground, which looks a bit like cordyceps. Could it be that its body has been eroded by fungi, so it can't move?"

"That's even better!"

I said in a deep voice, "Be careful, don't get hit by the venom. We can wear it down if we keep at it!"

In an instant, both girls' faces lit up with joyful smiles.

If this is the first blue boss to be defeated, the rewards will definitely be substantial, and there might even be achievement rewards!

……

However, things didn't go as smoothly as we had imagined.

When the health bar drops below half, the armored earthworm begins to regenerate health, and each time it recovers, rows of densely packed damage numbers take off above its head—

"+100!"

……

"That's really going too far!"

Zhang Ruolin looked speechless.

I frowned and said, "Be patient, you can definitely get rid of it."

"Ok!"

So everyone continued to aim at the mouthparts, constantly whittling down each other's health.

But soon after, a faint layer of blood appeared on the shell of the armored earthworm, and the system bell rang in my ears.

[Please note that the Armored Earthworm (blue boss) is on the verge of evolution. If it is not defeated within 120 seconds, it will evolve into the Armored Earthworm (purple boss)!]

Suddenly, all three of us were taken aback.

"Depend on……"

Xiao Bai said speechlessly, "It's supposed to be over in two minutes, and the BOSS can even regenerate health. How are we supposed to play like this? It's impossible to kill it..."

"uncertain!"

I gritted my teeth: "Do either of you have any grenades? Actually, they don't necessarily have to be grenades, hand grenades would also work..."

"What do you want to do?"

Zhang Ruolin said cautiously, "The BOSS's armor is so thick that grenades definitely won't kill it. You'd better not even think about it; it would just be a waste of our grenades."

"that is……"

Xiao Bai said, "Grenades are very expensive; we use them as life-saving tools."

"I'll just ask you one question: do you two want the Blue Boss's Ability Crystal Treasure Chest?"

"Of course I do."

"Then stop talking nonsense, bring all the grenades, put all three of our grenades together, I have a way to take down the BOSS in 120 seconds!"

"Row!"

The two of them said nothing more and started taking things out.

Zhang Ruolin pulled out three hand grenades, befitting her status as a wealthy woman working as a guest atmosphere-maker at a bar, while Xiao Bai pulled out two hand grenades, slightly less financially capable.

So, I took out a few grenades and said, "That way, we have five grenades in total. As long as I..."

"and many more!"

Two beautiful eyes stared at her: "So you don't have a single one?"

"Yeah, I didn't say I had it..."

"Ding Han!!!"

"Ahem, taking down the boss is the most important thing, don't worry about these details..."

Both of them were furious.

The next moment, I sank down, and after using a sidestep to dodge a venom spit, I raised my hand and threw a grenade with the pin pulled out!

Actually, before, every time the BOSS opened its mouth and split its three-lobed mouthparts, revealing its dark throat, I was itching to use my level 10 throwing skills!

Now that Ruolin and Xiaobai have contributed five explosive grenades, it can be said that the end of this armored earthworm has come!

"Shh!"

The grenade traced a perfect arc through the air, and the three-pointer landed squarely in the opponent's mouth!
"Peng——"

A muffled thud came from inside the armored earthworm's belly!
"2443!"

Ruolin's eyes widened immediately.

"What kind of damage is this?!" Xiaobai was also shocked.

Before she finished speaking, I had already thrown the second and third grenades, followed by the fourth and fifth. The four grenades tore through the thick defenses of the armored earthworm, causing continuous and terrifying damage!
"2421!"

"2599!"

"2632!"

"2777!"

Perhaps it was too much to break through their defenses, each one more lethal than the last!
The moment the last grenade exploded, the armored beetle let out a mournful cry as its thin abdominal carapace was blown open, spilling out a large pool of blood and shattered organs!

The continuous tinkling sounds in my ears were incredibly exhilarating!
