Hu Die Lan
Chapter 446 Random Hatred
Of course not.
Because that's precisely the condition for the Mist Shadow Assassin to go berserk: when the Mist Shadow Assassin can't attack its target, it will enter a state of berserk.
And after the Mist Shadow Assassin goes berserk, aside from the common changes associated with bosses such as form, attack, and speed, the hidden change is that it switches its aggro mode. The new aggro mode is still an extreme; it will randomly attack any target within its aggro range, without any rules. Even Ye Xiaowu at this moment wouldn't know who his next target would be.
It emerged from the mist after going berserk and attacked Gu Fei right away. This was such a coincidence, so unexpectedly that everyone was caught off guard and didn't notice the change in the aggro system. It wasn't until Bai Shi Jinglun used Embrace Throw that the Mist Shadow Assassin suddenly kicked Bai Shi Jinglun. Han Jia Gongzi, who was quick-witted and familiar with the game, instantly realized that something was amiss.
If the aggro remained concentrated on Gu Fei and wouldn't change due to any factors, that would mean that this boss, except for Gu Fei, would be a docile baby in front of everyone else, unable to fight back. Although it was extremely swift, Han Jia Gongzi felt that the design of this boss was simply idiotic because of this aggro system. He had thought of cheap tricks like stacking human pyramids in an instant, but Gu Fei, the mage acting as a meat shield, could obviously handle the boss, so there was no need to do so.
But the boss suddenly kicking Bai Shi Jinglun made him realize that something was not right. Before he could figure it out, the Mist Shadow Assassin had already rushed up and killed Yu Tian Shen Ming, then left arrogantly.
"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked.
"The aggro mode has changed," Han Jia Gongzi said. "Everyone, don't spread out too much."
Everyone immediately huddled closer together. You Ge frowned and said, "How could it possibly be Yu Tian? If it's reverting to normal aggro, Wu Shang, Bai Shi Jinglun, and even you should have higher aggro than Yu Tian right now."
"This... I'm afraid it's a random attack mode..." Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Damn, there's such a cheap trick!!!" Everyone cursed. Aggro could be said to be the key to players challenging high-difficulty bosses, but to think that this boss's aggro system actually changed back and forth. Now it even has a random attack mode. That means aggro calculations are completely useless. This boss seems to be deliberately designed to make things difficult for players.
"Random, what kind of random method is this!" At this time, You Ge still had the interest to research it.
Han Jia Gongzi frowned and didn't speak.
"It's coming!!" This time it was Bai Shi Jinglun who spoke. The Mist Shadow Assassin was rushing out from his direction. But no one knew who its target was at this moment.
"It's so fast!!" After the Mist Shadow Assassin went berserk, even the time it spent shrinking into the mist was shortened. It hadn't been gone for long before it turned back and rushed out of the mist ferociously. Suddenly, it rose into the air. This was an attack from the air, diving down.
"You Ge, it's you!!!" Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jinglun shouted in unison as they both rushed forward. From the Mist Shadow Assassin's posture after pausing in the air, both of them had judged the general direction it was going to attack. That place was precisely where You Ge was.
You Ge, who had the least experience, had become the Mist Shadow Assassin's target at this time. He was so flustered that he almost forgot how to hold his sword. But this time, everyone was very close. Moreover, this attack where the Mist Shadow Assassin paused in the air was the easiest to deal with in Gu Fei's eyes because it gave people more time to prepare.
Bai Shi Jinglun, who was diagonally in front of You Ge, was the fastest and closest, but he didn't have time to completely flash in front of You Ge. He stretched out his hands in a pouncing manner, and a qi wave shield, much larger than before, floated above his palms. The defense and area of the qi wave shield skill are proportional to the mana consumed. The one Bai Shi Jinglun used now was his limit.
But this little obstacle still couldn't stop the Mist Shadow Assassin's charge. The qi wave shield was shattered silently like a piece of tofu. Bai Shi Jinglun also flew out, but this flight just happened to hit You Ge, and You Ge staggered backward. A figure rushed out diagonally behind him, with lightning flashing in his hand!
Palm Thunder!!!!
Gu Fei, who had already condensed the Palm Thunder in his hand, took advantage of the opportunity Bai Shi Jinglun had created and directly pressed it onto the Mist Shadow Assassin's forehead.
Knockback!!!
Gu Fei prayed silently in his heart. The knockback effect of Palm Thunder was originally 100%, but Gu Fei didn't understand what the game's settings were when facing a higher-level boss. He only remembered using it when he fought the pursuing guards, and the guards didn't move at all. The Mist Shadow Assassin had been pushed back by him before, but that time he had flashed behind the Mist Shadow Assassin and pushed his back, using both Palm Thunder and the technique of borrowing strength. This time, the Mist Shadow Assassin was charging head-on, and was also in a berserk state, so what would happen?
Success!!!
The Mist Shadow Assassin, who had been hit on the forehead by Gu Fei's palm, was pushed away by the repulsive force emitted by the Palm Thunder.
But Gu Fei didn't have time to be happy. This assassin only retreated five meters. Although the knockback effect had been triggered, it wasn't very thorough this time.
Moreover, this guy's patience seemed to have become longer after going berserk. After retreating, he didn't immediately dive into the mist as everyone had hoped. Instead, he stepped forward and attacked again, and very obscenely changed his target again.
"Gongzi!!!" Gu Fei quickly shouted. The target the Mist Shadow Assassin was rushing towards this time was unexpectedly Han Jia Gongzi. Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jinglun were already unable to provide assistance in time. Just as the Mist Shadow Assassin was about to stab him, another dagger suddenly appeared from the side.
Sword Demon. Only Sword Demon used daggers.
Weapons collided. Even Zhan Wu Shang, who was a warrior, would be sent flying. Sword Demon was even more no match for him. But he had already predicted that this would happen. In the instant he flew up, he even raised his hand and slashed the boss.
A slash that was better than nothing. The Mist Shadow Assassin's attention didn't shift at all. This stab was still stubbornly aimed at Han Jia Gongzi, but at the same time, the white light from the staff in Han Jia Gongzi's hand had already landed on himself.
Han Jia Gongzi was inevitably sent flying, but he waved his staff again in the air, and the light enveloped him again, along with Han Jia Gongzi's fall to the ground. Everyone stared at him intently. As a result, the white light of disappearance didn't rise from his body. Instead, he got up and despised everyone: "Am I that easy to kill?"
"Monster, too monstrous!!!" You Ge couldn't understand the inner workings of Gu Fei's kung fu, but he understood the technique Han Jia Gongzi used. It was just a recovery spell cast with impeccable timing. Because there must be a process from life going from full to zero. This process might only be an instant, so fast that the naked eye might not be able to see the life bar changing, but Han Jia Gongzi could just barely manage to cast the recovery spell in that instant. Calculation and feeling were brought to the extreme in this instant. Even Gu Fei thought: If this guy practiced kung fu, he would definitely be a genius.
The Mist Shadow Assassin retreated immediately after attacking Han Jia Gongzi. It had to be admitted that everyone was lucky. If it had launched another attack, no matter who it hit, it would probably be in dire straits. The Mist Shadow Assassin had appeared and attacked two people, which had already caused everyone to be in a mess, but everyone didn't even have much time to sigh. They quickly reorganized and recovered.
"It comes and goes so fast! There's not much time to replenish," Gu Fei said while eating an apple.
"If this assassin didn't come and go like this, it would really be impossible to fight," Zhan Wu Shang was the only one who was fine in the previous wave of attacks.
"That's why he comes and goes like this. Bosses are ultimately for players to fight. Do you think games can't really create bosses that are impossible to fight?" Han Jia Gongzi said.
"But this random attack is too chaotic, right? Can we still fight like this?" You Ge said. "Sword Demon, you seemed to have slashed him just now?"
Sword Demon smiled bitterly: "It was just a slash, I didn't even use a skill. I don't think I even broke his defense."
Everyone's eyes focused on Gu Fei.
Gu Fei also looked embarrassed and sighed: "Don't look at me! If it continues to focus on attacking me, I can try again. Now its attack target is uncertain, so it's difficult to deal with."
"Are we really going to be wiped out here... Damn, we just wiped out Jian Nan You, the retribution came so quickly!!" Zhan Wu Shang sighed to the sky with an expression of a hero at the end of his road.
Han Jia Gongzi suddenly asked, "Does anyone have friends in Xiawu City?"
"Even acquaintances are fine!!" Han Jia Gongzi added before everyone could speak.
"Gui Tong?" Gu Fei suddenly thought of it. After he inquired about the situation with Gui Tong, they politely added each other as friends. Gu Fei even asked her when she would find someone to rob him again, which really made Gui Tong feel cold again.
"Yes, yes! I'll contact her!!" Zhan Wu Shang immediately said actively. He had even added Gui Tong's younger sister, Yan Xiaozhu, as a friend. He quickly opened his friends list and prepared to send a message. But then he looked at everyone embarrassedly: "What should I say to her?"
Han Jia Gongzi gave him a fierce look of contempt and said, "Tell her our coordinates, and then ask where the nearest leveling area is, preferably one that's popular."
Everyone understood as soon as they heard this: "You want to..."
Han Jia Gongzi's face revealed a smile that was ten times more evil than Ye Xiaowu's: "Isn't it a random attack?"
"Wow, that's too despicable, can you not be so despicable all the time!!!" Everyone exclaimed.
"We can't do that!!!" Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jinglun had already made a clear refusal. Although it was just a game, the two's moral values hadn't changed at all. After all, they had received the most emphasis on education in this area. If they couldn't get past this, there was no way they could have the chance to learn kung fu.
Han Jia Gongzi glanced at the two of them, but didn't say anything. He said lightly, "Then whatever!"
Sword Demon suddenly said at this time, "Doesn't it feel like this boss has been gone for too long?"
"Yeah, it's overtime," You Ge looked at his notebook. He liked to record everything.
Zhan Wu Shang also raised his head at this time and said to everyone, "Gui Tong said that this is the hottest leveling area..."
