Chapter 25: Soloing Elite Monsters, a Crazy Challenge Against Higher Levels!
Darkness is a thief's best friend.
Chen Yifan's figure had already blended into the shadows of the cave, silent and still.
With each step he took, he precisely avoided the loose stones, landing only on the solid rock surface without making a sound.
He suppressed his breathing to a minimum, as if he were a stone in the cave.
Not far away, the level 10 elite goblin captain was dragging his heavy steps, patrolling back and forth in a fixed area.
It seems to be guarding something.
The activity area never strayed more than twenty meters from that area.
Chen Yifan did not rush to make a move; he waited, observed, and calculated.
[Secret Investigation]!
An invisible stream of data swept across that enormous body in an instant.
[Target: Goblin Elite Captain (Elite)]
[Rank: Lv.10]
【Spirit: 55】
[Attributes: Strength 250, Agility 60, Constitution 200]
[Skills: Heavy Strike Lv.2, Savage Throw Lv.1, Berserk Lv.1 (Not Activated)]
[List of items that can be stolen: Skill - Berserk (D-rank), a rusty spiked club (rare)...]
Upon seeing the panel, Chen Yifan was first stunned, then his heart began to race uncontrollably.
It actually displays attributes other than mental attributes?
250 points of power!
200 points of physique!
Wang Pangzi, a C-rank Warrior, has a strength of less than 100 at level 1.
This guy's brute strength is more than twice that of the fat man.
No wonder it could smash rocks with a single blow.
Finally, Chen Yifan's gaze was fixed on the "Spirit" section.
55 points.
Not much taller than the average adult.
For a level 10 elite monster, this spirit attribute is pitifully low.
A perfect breakthrough.
After the upgrade, his mental strength has reached 210 points.
The conditions for the theft have been perfectly met!
A burning thought flashed through his mind.
D-rank skill, [Berserk]!
The Berserker class's core skill greatly increases attack power and attack speed for a short period of time, making it a trump card for turning the tide of battle.
If only we could steal this...
No.
He extinguished the thought instantly.
[Steal] The cooldown time is too long, and the mental energy consumption may be huge. Giving up one's only trump card for a D-level skill is not worth the risk.
Moreover, this skill is far less needed for him than for a warrior.
He is now all alone.
Any mistake means real death.
He must rely on his own strength, pure strength and wisdom, to hunt this monster!
His gaze locked onto the goblin captain once more, and the data in his mind rapidly reorganized.
Elite monsters give five times the experience of regular monsters.
That means that killing this guy will give him 500 experience points.
He is 184 points away from reaching level 2.
This one is enough.
His gaze was frighteningly calm as he began to dissect the behavior patterns of his prey:
The route is fixed.
Turn around every 20 meters, pausing for 1.5 seconds each time.
He paced back and forth along a fixed route, turning around every twenty meters.
There will be a pause of about 1.5 seconds when turning around.
It has only two attack methods.
The close-range [heavy blow] is powerful and heavy, but the initial movement is large and easy to predict.
The long-range [Savage Throw] is extremely powerful, but after it is thrown, it takes time to retrieve the weapon.
As for the [Berserk] skill...
It seems that specific conditions are required to trigger it, such as health points falling below a certain threshold.
Fragments of information were quickly pieced together, and a bold, meticulous, and even insane hunting plan took shape in his mind.
This world is ultimately reality.
There is no such absurd data as "one hit deals 99999 damage".
As long as it is made of flesh and blood, it will inevitably have weaknesses.
He emerged from the shadows, no longer hiding his figure.
He casually picked up a stone, weighed it in his hand, and a provocative smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, big guy, you son of a bitch, look this way!"
The stone flew through the air.
"clang!"
With a crisp sound, the stone struck the goblin captain's bone helmet with pinpoint accuracy.
No harm was done.
But it's incredibly insulting.
"roar!"
The goblin captain was instantly enraged. His burning blue eyes locked onto Chen Yifan, and he let out a deafening roar!
coming!
Once Chen Yifan made up his mind, he turned and ran.
But he didn't run far, keeping his figure hovering at the edge of the goblin captain's field of vision, a delicate distance of about twenty meters.
This distance was just outside the range of the opponent's "Savage Throw," yet it was enough to keep the opponent's anger firmly focused on him.
The two, one human and one strange creature, began a new round of pursuit.
This time, Chen Yifan was no longer fleeing in a sorry state.
He wasn't fast, but he ran with ease, as if he were toying with an angry bull.
He used his overwhelming agility and control over the terrain to keep leading the goblin captain in circles.
"Roar! Roar!"
The goblin captain roared in anger, feeling that the little insect in front of him was as slippery as an eel, and he couldn't catch it no matter what he did.
Several times, its spiked club whistled past Chen Yifan's clothes, but at the last moment, the opponent would twist and dodge it at an unbelievable angle.
The passive effect of [Divine Speed] grants Chen Yifan monstrous dynamic visual abilities.
Not to mention the active effects.
To him, every attack from the goblin captain looked like a slow-motion video riddled with flaws.
He even had the leisure to turn around and make a face at the goblin captain during a brief moment of dodging.
This action completely ignited the monster's rage.
"roar--!"
The goblin captain suddenly stopped, raised the spiked club high above his head, his muscular arms bulging with veins, and hurled it with all his might!
[Brutal Throw]!
It's now!
Chen Yifan had been waiting for this moment!
He did not dodge the moment the spiked club left his hand.
[Spatial Flash]!
The figure vanished into thin air.
Twice in a row.
The next second, he appeared behind the goblin captain like a ghost.
At this moment, the elite monster is in a brief state of post-throw stiffness due to the inertia of the throw.
Its hands were empty.
This is when it is most vulnerable!
A cold glint flashed in Chen Yifan's eyes.
The bundle of junk material [Tough Vines] that had been dropped earlier was now transformed into a deadly hunting rope in his hands, shooting out with lightning speed and precisely wrapping around the goblin captain's ankles!
The goblin captain felt a sudden pressure beneath his feet and let out a confused roar as he looked down.
It tried to break free, but the vines were far more resilient than it had imagined. Instead of breaking under its terrifying pull, they tightened even more.
Chen Yifan did not pause at all.
[Spatial Flash]!
The figure disappeared again, reappearing behind a large stalagmite on the other side of the cave.
He used a professional binding technique to tightly wrap the other end of the vine around the stalagmite, and then suddenly pulled it backward!
"Boom—!"
Caught off guard, the goblin captain lost his balance and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
It worked!
Chen Yifan was certain.
He took advantage of the opponent's skill cooldown, combined with the terrain and two precise displacements using [Spatial Blink], and successfully controlled this level 10 elite monster!
"roar!"
The fallen goblin captain let out an angry and unwilling roar, struggling frantically to get up.
However, its feet were tightly connected to the vines and stalagmites, and the more it tried to pull, the tighter the vines became.
A giant elephant with its legs bound, possessing immense strength but with nowhere to use it.
Chen Yifan emerged from behind the stalagmite, looking at the enormous creature struggling futilely on the ground, a hunter's smile upon reaping his prey appeared on his face.
Now it's his turn to deliver.
He did not approach rashly, knowing that the most deadly counterattack of any creature is its dying struggle.
He took another piece of "trash" out of his backpack.
A worn-out pickaxe, only good for mining.
Chen Yifan weighed the pickaxe in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the monster as he calculated the distance, angle, and parabola.
Then, he activated [Divine Speed].
The whole world instantly lost its color and sound, leaving only black and white lines and slow tracks.
He stared at the goblin captain's enormous head, which was clad in a bone helmet, and his arm muscles tensed up as he activated his F-rank talent, [Hand Speed Amplification], to its maximum.
He swung the pickaxe in his hand with all his might!
The pickaxe spun violently in the air, leaving a trail of death.
the goal--
Goblin Captain's Eyes!
