Chapter 5: Encountering the Hedgehog Bug Boss

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Should he accept it?

Wu Yan did not hesitate at all. His years of gaming experience told him that the more difficult the Dungeon was, the richer the rewards would be.

[News: Player ‘Wandering’ has chosen to challenge the Time-limited Dungeon “Face the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug”!]

Then he turned into a beam of white light and was teleported in.

That should be the space that he didn’t enter earlier. There were many small Hedgehog Bugs in his surroundings.

However, as Wu Yan didn’t enter their attack range, they didn’t take the initiative to attack.

Wu Yan looked at the path ahead.

The King Hedgehog Demonic Bug was surely at the end of the path, so he could only wade through those small Hedgehog Bugs.

That wasted a quite some time.

After all, he was still unable to withstand the damage of so many small Hedgehog Bugs at one shot.

He barely reached the Boss platform of the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug after using his Physical Anti-armor Damage while smashing fireballs and drinking potions fiercely.

The King Hedgehog Demonic Bug should be the one-meter-tall Hedgehog Bug curled up in the middle and covered in spikes.

As the game was too realistic, Wu Yan actually felt oppressed while looking at the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug.

It must be excruciating if such a long spike were to pierce through his body.

Wu Yan quickly went to check if there was an option to set the level of pain felt.

He saw it after searching for a while.

The default setting was 100%.

There must be something wrong with this game. Would a normal person like to feel 100% of pain?

Wu Yan used his hand to pull the touchpad down continuously. He realized that he could only pull it until 10%.

Alright, feeling 10% of the pain was acceptable.

Wu Yan tried to use his height advantage to throw a small fireball from the maximum distance of the Aggro range.

The small fireball actually had a small acceleration due to a gust of wind, causing the small fireball to be cast a little further.

It brushed against the side!

Although the game was quite realistic, as long as the casting was within the range, the damage was considered effective.

Good job!

Wu Yan encouraged himself. Such an extreme execution was something that only he, a former Mage pro, could do.

However, the fade ‘0’ that appeared on the body of the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug greatly surprised him!

His magic actually couldn’t penetrate the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug. Could it be that the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug had magic resistance?

Wu Yan hurriedly cast Check.

Check was classified as a special skill, and it was tough to level up. It was said that until now, there was still nobody who had successfully leveled it up in the entire server.

Check’s ability to display monsters’ information that one can see was based on the combined evaluation of one’s combat power and level.

The information that Wu Yan checked contained a lot of unknown information:

———————-

[Monster Name: King Hedgehog Demonic Bug]

[Level: Unknown]

[HP: 250]

[DEF: Unknown]

[Magic DEF: Unknown]

[ATK: 130]

———————-

Wu Yan was delighted when he saw that its HP was only 250. The information that was not released meant that it was far beyond what he could handle at his current level.

There was a high probability that he would not be able to penetrate it, so physical attacks would definitely be useless too.

In the game, there was no such thing as minimum damage. That meant that there was no such thing as a minimum ‘-1’ setting.

In the past, when Wu Yan played games, he relied on minimum damage gameplay to create many unorthodox techniques.

That won’t do.

He wasn’t discouraged.

Since its attack was only 130, he would be able to take the damage with his near 1,000 HP.

He would be OK even if there were consecutive attacks.

However, his Minor Healing had only reached LV2, which could recover 120 HP.

In the game, there were two ways to level up a skill. One was to use the skills constantly, but the skills used had to be effective.

For example, Minor Healing would actually need to heal its target.

Moreover, full health could not be healed. So, without healing to the upper limit, the skill proficiency would increase at a discount.

The other way was through Skill Books.

Skill Books were terrifyingly precious in the game. After the game had been launched for so long, there were only a few Skill Books on the market.

And Skill Leveling Books were divided into levels at each stage. For example, Skill Leveling Book LV1 to LV2 or Skill Book LV2 to LV3. It was roughly like this.

The few Skill Books out and around could also only be Skill Books LV1 to LV2.

Because the effect of each level of skill leveling was quite large, some people would give up on monsters with more EXP value to look for monsters that were more suitable for training the skills.

Wu Yan was planning. He still had quite some Life Potions in his backpack. He had used the initial funds, the money he had gained through hunting monsters the past few days, and the money he had gained through completing the repeated quest of killing the Hedgehog Bugs to buy Life Potions and Magic Potions.

It was to prepare for such a situation.

Since he had already encountered such a Boss, there was no reason not to give it a try.

The only drawback was not knowing what the attack method of that King Hedgehog Demonic Bug was.

Because when he looked for guides in the forum, he did not come across any strategy for the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug.

That also proved that it was indeed a Unique Dungeon.

Checking guides was also his commonly used method.

He did not expect to learn any good offensive methods from others, but he wanted to understand the characteristics of the Boss monsters.

Generally speaking, the characteristics of Boss monsters were different from ordinary monsters.

Under different environments and different HP, the performance of Boss monsters would also be different.

After a round of analysis, Wu Yan first found an escape route. The King Hedgehog Demonic Bug’s turning wasn’t very good.

And his speed was not comparable to the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug’s.

After preparing everything, Wu Yan stepped into the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug’s attack range. After Wu Yan stepped in, the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug clearly sensed that someone had entered its territory.

All the spikes on its body stood up like a mechanism that could shoot out any time.

Wu Yan was also on tenterhooks.

After all, the sizes of those small Hedgehog Bugs that he tested previously were not big enough, and their combat power was not strong enough.

But now, he was fighting a monster that was above his level.

Since its level was unknown, it had to be at least five levels higher than him.

In an online game, it would be quite difficult to fight monsters five levels higher, not to mention such a Boss-level monster.

Wu Yan finally stepped into the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug’s second red circle, which had a smaller radius.

There was a yellow circle in front that belonged to the monster’s enemy-hunting state. If one left at the right time, one could avoid attracting the monster’s Aggro.

As for the red circle, it was unconditionally attracting the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug’s Aggro.

It expanded its entire body, and the spikes became extremely hard. Then, it shrunk into a ball and rushed toward Wu Yan.
