This time I chose Paladin

[Armor-piercing thorn]!

Nie Weiyang sighed and suddenly turned sideways. The dagger passed by the back of his clothes by a centimeter, but ultimately failed to reach him.

He blocked it with his arm and suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

'Bang! !' "Uh..."

The combination of powerful strength, physique and the hardness of the arm armor caused a slender figure to suffer a heavy blow in the throat, causing her to lose consciousness briefly. When she gradually came to her senses, she found herself thrown to the ground by Nie Weiyang.

Her throat ached as if it were on fire, but she could only stare blankly. She felt as if all her actions were actually within the expectations of the person in front of her?!

Tracking, observing, attacking...even the flaw she found was...actively revealed by the other party!

Under the pitch-black sky, Nie Weiyang stared at the girl on the ground, his brow furrowed. Her blood exuded a scent that attracted vampires. He knew this particular physique wasn't common, but it wasn't rare either. In his previous life, more than once, someone like her had tried to approach him.

Of course, they all died.

"Sam didn't want you out," he said. "He wanted you to stay away, even at all costs to attract my and other people's attention. Then he told me that you had nothing to do with the people behind him, and you could live under a different identity - so why?"

Before this, before the 'peaceful exchange' with Sam, he had already spotted this girl. At that time, she was lurking nearby, observing the surrounding environment for Sam.

In his previous life, Nie Weiyang had seen her before. Her name was Vanessa, and she was Sam's partner and lover. She had always been by his side when Nie Weiyang was hunting him, and she was the reason Sam escaped twice.

At that time, she and Sam carried each other's soul seeds, and they were bound together in some way.

As long as one survives, the other can be resurrected incompletely at some heavy cost, even if the other dies physically.

But now, no one has even reached level 10, so it is naturally impossible for Sam and Vanessa to have such a link effect.

Sam had previously hinted at her leaving with subtle gestures, letting out earth-shattering screams to protect her, and even surrendering a lot of things, either voluntarily or pretending to be passive. Yet, she had returned shortly after successfully leaving...

Although Nie Weiyang had not originally intended to let her go - he did not have the habit of letting enemies with whom he had conflicts of principle live freely.

But before he could catch up, Vanessa came back on her own initiative.

Don't tell him it's because of love or something...

"I love him." The girl chuckled, her voice hoarse as she looked up at Nie Weiyang.

Nie Weiyang: “………………”

He sighed and sent Vanessa away with a sword.

Warm blood spurted out, and an alluring aroma suddenly burst forth. For a moment, Nie Weiyang felt as if he had been hungry for a thousand years before being faced with a feast. Every cell in his body clamored for him to pounce, every strand of his genes urged him to eat something delicious. But Nie Weiyang remained unmoved. He simply thrust his sword, snatched up the dagger Vanessa had hidden behind her, and tossed it into his backpack.

This is a green weapon. Although it is not very powerful, it is enough for the early transition of assassin-related professions. Although he himself cannot use it, there will always be someone who can use it.

In the new world, unless you have special items or skills, you cannot get the items in the backpack after killing the enemy.

Those items will disappear permanently into the void - therefore, all important props or mission items have the restriction of 'not being able to be put into the backpack'.

Nie Weiyang shook his head and walked towards the captain. The captain had been watching him, and when he saw him approach, he asked, "Mr. Nie, what happened? Do you need help?"

"No need." Nie Weiyang sighed, a rare look of silence appearing on his face.

He could no longer tell whether this meant "even enemies have their own true love" or "love-brain is a terminal illness."

But he didn't need to discern. For an enemy who had proven incurable in a previous life and who remained his opponent in this one, he didn't need to consider whether to forgive or listen to confessions. He was only human, and that wasn't his job.

"Do you have love and emotions? Are you also suffering? What does it have to do with you harming me and the group I belong to?"

——Faced with this situation, what Nie Weiyang has to do is send them away from the new world and find the idol who can listen to their confessions.

At this moment, the three-headed water snake in the water curtain gradually began to move.

In full view of everyone, the heads on both sides began to bite the snake head in the middle. Although the head in the middle tried to resist, it was quickly torn and eaten clean.

Then the wound healed, and the two heads stood side by side—

The water curtain collapsed!

——[Ze Mei Fang]-18200!

This was a shared damage situation. A massive wave crashed down, breaking the willow trees on the shore in a single blow. Everyone continued to withstand the impact, and those who were more capable did more. Nie Weiyang held his shield and pushed forward, bearing the powerful impact head-on, his entire body drenched in the icy river water.

His current health bar value is 2200. Because he insisted on standing in the front, even with the defense provided by the armor, this attack deducted more than health from Nie Weiyang.

Aside from being used for skill assessment, the basic numerical bonuses to various attributes won't be realized until one has confirmed their beliefs at level 10. The new world requires everyone to walk the initial path in an almost primitive state, just as it requires people to gradually approach the 'Blood Moon Rising' in their current state, using humanity's own strength to overcome this first crisis. Those who can't hold on are simply... unsuited to survival in the new world.

At this moment, those who were far away were fine, but those who were close were hit so hard that most of them were directly in a state of serious disability. Fortunately, those who could stand here must be outstanding, so no one fell down directly.

But even so, the cold wind of the polar night combined with the large-scale water-attribute attack still caused tons of damage to the crowd.

Nie Weiyang put down his round shield, stood up, and drew his sword. He didn't seem to have been hurt too much, and now he stood in front of everyone with a serious expression.

'Three-headed Water Snake'——Phase Two, Begin!

……

It was not until this moment that the three-headed water snake truly entered full combat state.

Its health bar was fully restored, and its huge body, about 35 meters long from head to tail, broke away from the river channel, winding through the reeds, and crushed heavily into the mud on the river bank, leaving only the tip of its tail still in the water.

When it swings its tail, the water in the dark area will vibrate violently, causing the ground on both sides to become restless, and even the soil on the shore to gradually flow into the water.

The river expanded, and Nie Weiyang quickly took a few steps back to avoid being swallowed by the waves.

Less standing surface!

The two-headed water snake gradually moved downwards, its sharp scarlet eyes scanning around, staring closely at the most threatening individual.

It didn't even strike a pose, but pointed both of its heads at Nie Weiyang and shot out two water guns from its mouth!

Lao Nie: I remember I haven’t clicked on the taunt yet

Chapter 23 The Hunt is Over

Nie Weiyang did not resist. He slid back and two water guns pierced through the air and hit where he was originally.

One of them pointed to the chest, and the other pointed to the legs, which proved that the two-headed water snake already had a concept of tactics... or in other words, the two-headed water snake at this stage had some kind of on-the-spot tactical judgment built in.

This is a huge change. Whether the enemy attacks randomly or in an organized manner is two different matters. The two-headed water snake is a standard large target, and the impact of the battle cannot be estimated by common sense.

But Nie Weiyang was not nervous, but relieved.

For him, fighting without order is troublesome. As long as there is order, he can block every escape route for the opponent!

Nie Weiyang waved his hand to signal the shooting units to prepare. He did not rush to treat himself, but just shook his sword and silently recited the name of the skill, putting up a layer of shield for himself. The young man in black clothes and silver armor stood at the position closest to the danger, leaving his back to others.

The cooling time of the two-headed water snake's water gun was greatly reduced, and it completely became a basic attack skill. Each time, it locked onto two different parts of Nie Weiyang's body at the same time, but he quickly avoided them.

The giant snake's glowing scarlet eyes met Nie Weiyang's, a similar yet different red - thanks to his status as the world boss, Nie Weiyang's irises grew redder day by day. In addition to the common skills, a blurry new skill tree appeared in the boss's skill list. Every time it became clearer, his eyes became more scarlet and pure.

This wasn't the red of a normal vampire bloodline. In his previous life, Nie Weiyang had seen 99% pure vampire players, and their eyes weren't like his current... indescribable. This was also one of the reasons he chose to wear sunglasses.

And now, Nie Weiyang suddenly raised his glasses, and his scarlet eyes met the giant snake's gaze, the cold light almost overflowing!

The two-headed water snake seemed momentarily confused, or perhaps misjudged. Its movements slowed for a moment, as if it were disturbed by some deeper source.

It stretched its head closer to Nie Weiyang, as if trying to judge, or trying to touch—

"Hit its eyes!" Nie Weiyang shouted loudly, and at the same time jumped up, jumped onto one of its heads, and pierced a sword into the gap between its scales!

He didn't think that this thing wanted to communicate closely with him, because he was now a world boss, but his level and stats were not high.

These bosses are giant beasts and alienated beasts. They retain some of the characteristics of living creatures, but almost none of the awe, because they have no real emotions, and all emotions are just simulated expressions.

When faced with creatures that are higher in rank than themselves but whose combat power cannot match theirs, their first reaction is never so-called awe and submission, but... devouring and replacing!

The two-headed water snake let out a deafening and sharp roar, and its two heads twisted and danced wildly as it rose up. At a height of nearly ten meters in the air, the other head turned around and bit Nie Weiyang.

The smell of water, meat, fish, earth, and poison... This thing had a complete and utterly perfect combination of all five. Nie Weiyang was instantly overcome by the fumes and fell backward. He wasn't standing very steadily to begin with, so he leaned back and thrust his sword hard, slicing a semicircle and hanging on the other side of the snake's head.

'Bleeding!' 'Stab wounds!'

"Hiss--!!!" The snake's head felt pain and shook even harder, trying to throw Nie Weiyang off its head.

Instead, Nie Weiyang stepped on the side of the snake where its scales were exploding, flipped over, and landed on top of the snake's head again.

"Hiss..." Some people standing far away looked at the glowing figure in shock.

'boom--! ! ! ’

A gunshot pierced the air. The eye of the other head of the two-headed water snake erupted in blood, scattering everywhere, and the lens shattered and fell off. The eye is a water ball, and when it breaks through the barrier, the internal pressure will automatically explode it!

Under the starless and moonless night sky, the terrifying roar of the giant beast pierced the sky. It collapsed, twisted and shook, and its injured head almost smashed into the mud.

[Ze Mei Yi Fang] has a long cooldown time, and it cannot heal itself for the time being. Of course, even if it could, it cannot regenerate its eyeballs at this level.

In limb regeneration, spine, heart, eyes, and brain are listed as four separate difficulty levels.

Even those with bloodlines like vampires and ghouls can only achieve self-regeneration of the spine and heart at best, provided they have a large amount of energy to replenish.

The eyes need to be replaced and assimilated, and it is impossible for the brain to regenerate normally.

Just like Nie Weiyang in his previous life, by the end of the apocalypse, nothing but his brain and some bones remained. It was this kind of world that shaped the importance of mind and soul.

Nie Weiyang dodged another bite, but this time the other snake head failed to hold back its strength and in a rage due to serious injury, it bit the snake head that he had cut open!

[Self-injury-7947!]

Smelly blood flew everywhere, and the two-headed water snake caused huge damage to itself.

The process of three heads turning into two heads is clearly indicating that the correct way to fight it is to guide its two heads to fight each other!

While the two snake heads were biting each other, Nie Weiyang immediately moved his position and even swung a sword at the bloody hole in the snake's eye in mid-air!

"Holy Blade!"

[Holy Blade-1330!]

A flash of light passed by, and the battle record was refreshed with a terrifying number. Although there was no restraint relationship, the damage was indeed high.

All hidden professions are like this. Extreme thoughts also bring extreme attributes. Offensive thoughts will cause high damage, while overly autistic, self-consistent or isolationist thoughts will cause high defense and high control. Self-consistent to a certain extent will also have high healing properties.

Therefore, Nie Weiyang didn't know what the New World's Resonance System had to summarize in his mind to adapt it to a Paladin, who was a panacea in the early game, easily killed in the mid-game, but a hexagonal warrior in the late game...

But now... let's kill the one with the bright health bar first!

When the two heads of the two-headed water snake finally let go of each other, blood had already splashed all over it. The attacks from the crowd below had not stopped, causing thousands of casualties every second. The sniper hidden in the distance would occasionally blow a hole in the snake's body. The blood hole was wide and deep, almost as big as a public trash can in width and depth, which made Nie Weiyang very curious about what kind of weapon it was.

This power is almost as powerful as the skill damage of some mid-term long-range sniper-specialized professions!
