Chapter 9: Fight monsters with beggar NPCs? You are such a genius!
The gap between slimes may be even greater than the gap between baboons and dogs.
This is even more true when compared in terms of attributes.
For a long time, the attributes were weak, and the only bright spot was the cute-looking slime, which undoubtedly occupied the bottom position of the food chain in the wild monster food chain.
However, just like the white swan that emerges from the ugly duckling, the slime clan is no exception.
At this moment, the young slime elite BOSS, who is rushing down the mountain with the momentum of a tiger towards Gu Xiaoheng and Mei Fu's group, is the leader among them.
Just looking at its powerful attributes, Gu Xiaoheng had no doubt that the slime elite in front of him could kill a team of 6 to 15 level 1 to 2 passerby players with almost no damage.
For players who are currently dismissive of everything in the Oracle game, the slime elite with 2,300 health seems a bit too powerful...

——————
After reading the evaluation given by the prompt system, Gu Xiaoheng's face twitched.
Why do you feel that the system is so unreliable?
Forget it, most of his skills as a swordsman are not spells anyway, so he doesn't have to worry about the unique ability of the elite monster in front of him to swallow spell damage like a mage.
Thinking of this, a cheerful smile appeared on Gu Xiaoheng's face.
What are you waiting for? The Frostmourne on his hand is already thirsty!
For this slime elite who is about to get in his face, his actions can be summed up in two words - throw it away!
Rumble——
A loud rolling sound came closer and closer to Gu Xiaoheng's position, and the figure of the elite slime was reflected in Maeve's bright eyes.
Seeing that the slime elite BOSS was about to reach the range of his skills, Gu Xiaoheng and Maeve, who were standing still with swords in their hands, jumped up in an instant, already ready to strike first.
"The enemy is 40 meters away from us... 35... 30 meters away. Prepare to fight - eh? Damn it, why did the BOSS escape!"
Before he could even say the word "prepare for battle", Gu Xiaoheng was stunned by the actions of the boss in front of him.
Seeing Gu Xiaoheng surrounded by a circle of undead slimes looking at him with "unkind expressions", the brown slime elite rolled its round belly and came to a sudden stop while rolling forward.
After just being stunned for a moment, the slime elite accelerated and made a 180-degree turn in mid-air without hesitation.
This time, its target was surprisingly far ahead of schedule, avoiding the range of the sentinel tree where Gu Xiaoheng and Seraph Maeve were.
In a daze, Gu Xiaoheng could only watch with regret as the "Slime Elite" rolled past him dozens of meters away.
Vaguely, he seemed to be able to see the horrified expression on the slime elite's face.
Slime Elite: There are so many of you that I can’t afford to offend you, so I slipped away (のT A T)
After sighing slightly, Gu Xiaoheng had no choice but to call on Maeve and chase him in the direction where the BOSS rolled away.
The game "Oracle" is so realistic that sometimes even he, a reborn person, finds it incredible.
The slime elite in front of us is a clear example.
Unlike the previous generation of online games where every BOSS was blinded and killed by artificial intelligence, the BOSS in Oracle are highly flexible and realistic like the NPCs.
The higher the qualification level of the BOSS, the stronger their wisdom and even strength will be. When encountering a strong enemy that they may not be able to defeat, they will turn into a "yo-yo" and run away without saying a word.
The slime elite's actions in front of them are not an isolated case.
Even many highly qualified BOSSs themselves have mastered advanced combat skills that are far beyond what ordinary players can access.
The power of these high-qualified BOSSs is sometimes far beyond what can be reflected by a few dull skills or even attribute panels. Usually only when they take action will players know which gods and ghosts they have provoked...
"Fuck! This injury hurts so much! Damn it, did such a big slime eat golden garbage to become so fat?"
Gu Xiaoheng's eyes lit up when he heard a very familiar complaint coming from a distance.
Good guy, it seems that the escaping BOSS has encountered other players!
By coincidence, the slime elites who were accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong also showed their viciousness when they ran into these "weak passerby players" while escaping, and launched a surprise attack while they were unprepared.
Since the journey was not far, it only took Gu Xiaoheng and Mei Fu, who were running, a few seconds to arrive at the scene.
Seeing the specific situation at the scene, Gu Xiaoheng's lips turned up and he was completely happy.
The slime elite that originally ran away when it saw him was now biting everyone like an invincible farm war god "big white goose".
Since its attack power is as high as 75 points, the 7-man team in front of it, which only has one leading Shield Warrior player reaching level 2, can be seriously injured if it touches it. If it takes two more hits, it will be killed immediately.
"Eh? That's interesting...I kind of know why they were able to persist in front of the boss for so long."
Seeing that Gu Xiaoheng still had time to rejoice in his misfortune, Maeve beside her eagerly poked his arm.
"Sir, why don't we take action? Look at those two beggars over there, they can't hold on any longer!"
Just as Maeve said, the reason why the small group in the distance, mostly composed of level 1 players, was able to survive for so long against a BOSS whose attributes almost crushed them was all due to their clever operations:
Perhaps they used force to intimidate, or perhaps they used the initial capital of 10 copper coins given to each player by the initial system to induce them. Anyway, this group of genius players persuaded two level 1 beggar NPCs to come with them to this place just a few feet away from Black Rock Town.
A level 3~5 wild monster spawning area is a full 30 minutes away.
In any case, the cool operation of this group of players has played a big role at this moment.
Even if they are both level 1, the health attributes of the two beggar NPCs are much higher than those of the players.
Although the cowardly beggar NPC dare not attack even a slime, as a "tank" unit that can withstand damage, their HP of up to 250 points is still impressive.
However, the benefits of beggar NPCs only end there. Facing the slime elites who attacked fiercely and could bite off 75 of their health points in one bite, the two beggar NPCs were "taken care of" by the BOSS within seconds of the start of the battle.
Lost blood.
Seeing this, the two NPCs were about to die...
"These newbies are so stupid that I'm crying. Don't they know that if they induce the beggar NPC in the town to die, they will be deducted from the reputation points and become a wanted criminal in the town and be sent to Black Rock Town Prison? Forget it.
, I guess they will know it soon."
As soon as Gu Xiaoheng complained to Maeve, only two of the original seven players on the field were devoured by slime elites one after another.
There are only two survivors left, one is the leading level 2 shield warrior, and the other is a cute-looking mage girl.
It's just that their condition was terrible. The shield warrior in the front row only had half of his health left, and the mage girl was so panicked that she failed to accurately throw the "fireball" spell at the head of the slime elite from the beginning to the end.
superior.
Even so, the two of them seemed not ready to give up.
"Fireball, hit!!"
Accompanied by the mage girl's exclamation, the fireball technique that the two had high hopes for finally hit her once.
After a loud bang, the thick burst of gray smoke enveloped the entire slime elite almost instantly.
"How is the effect? This fireball technique is so powerful, it can always be hurt, right?"
The leading shield warrior stretched his neck anxiously to look into the thick smoke.
"It should be hurt. This is a fireball technique that consumes a lot of mana!"
The mage girl on the side was also curious about the outcome of the battle.
While the two were talking, the forest breeze blowing from the distant mountains dispersed the thick smoke.
The thick smoke dissipated, leaving only the slime elite who was using his body to make chewing gestures and activated his skills to swallow the remaining sparks from the fireball spell.
Its "Slime Devouring" skill, which is enough to swallow up 35 points of spell damage, is showing off its power when facing the cute mage's fireball spell.
But this skill was completely ignored by this group of passerby players...
Taking advantage of the moment when the two players were surprised, the slime elite with a cruel nature launched a final fierce attack.
With one gulp, the health of the mage girl, who is a light-armored unit, was instantly cleared to zero.
The player's dead soul flashed with white light, and the remaining shield warriors heard only a powerful and powerful bass cry:
"Oh my god, this slime is pretty cool!"
This mage player who had the appearance of a cute girl turned out to be a man with a fake voice pretending to be a female voice!
That is to say, the slime's attack was too scary at the moment, which broke his skilled falsetto skills.
Suffering from this drastic change, the Shield Warrior, who was originally thinking of licking a girl and winning her over, was even more devastated. He had no idea of resistance and was almost instantly swallowed by the slime elite. He was not rich to begin with.
The blood volume was even worse, being cleared to zero in an instant.
"I have figured out the fighting methods of slime elites, let's do it, Maeve!"
The moment he turned into the white light of his soul and returned to Black Rock Town to run away, the Shield Warrior saw a scene that shocked his own mother for the whole day.
A swordsman player holding a cool skull-headed one-handed sword jumped directly from a granite boulder more than three meters high.
Even in mid-air, Gu Xiaoheng twisted his waist and used a weird and agile angle to easily avoid the slime elite's bite attack.
He flipped his wrist, and Frostmourne, filled with icy blue light, slashed down on the boss's head.
boom--
A terrifying crack spread from the top of the slime elite's head to the bottom of the seam.
With just this one blow, the swordsman's power is fully demonstrated!
"The BOSS was seriously injured with just one sword? Can a human inflict this kind of damage?"
With one last exclamation left behind, the shield warrior's soul white light completely dissipated and flew straight towards the Black Rock Town where he was bound to his birthplace.
