Having seen through the Violent Bear Boss’s true defensive barriers and the chasm-like power gap between it and the Forest Wolf Pack, Qin Feng didn’t panic. In fact, he smiled.
’A monster like this is a super-heavy tank on the battlefield. Most enemies can’t even scratch it... If I could ta it, wouldn’t my power just skyrocket?’
’Putting that aside...’
’For now, I can’t ta this Violent Bear Boss.’
’But later on, I’ll definitely get another Heroic Unit of a similar nature—Diablo.’
’That alone is enough to keep up all night with excitent.’
With that thought, Qin Feng no longer hesitated. He smoothly drew the Hunting Short Bow from his back. His fingertips brushed against his Deer Hide Quiver, and three Poison Arrows, shimring with a dark green phosphorescence, were in his hand.
The bowstring was instantly pulled taut in his palm, forming the arc of a silver moon. The cold tal Arrowhead locked precisely onto the crown of the Violent Bear Boss’s head, like the Death God’s scythe poised to strike.
Activate Extraordinary Skill!
Triple Shot!
In an instant, with a sound of tearing air, three Poison Arrows shot forth like streaks of dark green lightning, letting out a sharp whistle as they flew straight for their target’s weak point!
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
[Your Triple Shot Skill successfully hit the Violent Bear (BOSS)!]
[Fatal weak point hit!]
[Total damage: 53!]
[Target is Poisoned, losing 1 Life Value per second for 10 seconds!]
"Hiss!?"
’The damage is actually a tenth of its health!?’
Qin Feng drew a sharp breath, his voice laced with disbelief.
And that was with its Talent active!
That was the damage dealt even with its "Fixed Damage Reduction" Talent triggered!
’If the Violent Bear Boss didn’t have that ridiculously overpowered Talent, my Triple Shot would have just wiped out a fifth of its Blood Volu!’
’In that case, if I had started from farther away, maneuvered a little, and just kited it...’
’...couldn’t I have taken it down easily?’
’Just as I thought...’
’My intuition was right!’
’As long as I have a specialized bow and I’m in a location suited for archery, I can bring out the full advantage of a Ranger!’
’And I can reach a Zero-star (Purple) Combat Level!’
At this thought, a scorching battle lust erupted in Qin Feng’s eyes.
He had always adhered to a creed of "perfect combat." He would never waste a single advantage, nor would he ever engage in a high-risk gamble without knowing his enemy’s full capabilities.
Just like now.
He was maintaining a more-than-safe distance from the Violent Bear Boss.
And after confirming the Violent Bear Boss’s movent speed was far inferior to that of a Forest Wolf, he had even called one over to hide in the nearby bushes, ready to serve as a Mount for his kiting strategy.
These were all deadly maneuvers he had prepared while silently analyzing the Violent Bear Boss’s strength.
Top-tier tactical details designed to maximize his advantage!
’A true man!’
’...never fights a battle he isn’t certain of winning!’
’Instead, he turns every step into a calculated deathtrap, every detail into a cold blade piercing the enemy’s gut!’
"You... are my prey now!"
Beneath the setting sun, Qin Feng’s fingertips caressed the bowstring with chilling precision. The movent was as delicate as a butterfly about to dance among flowers.
At this mont, he exuded the cold precision of a modern sniper. He was like the master assassin from *The Day of the Jackal*, a man whose every minute action was an art form, all in service of a perfect kill.
His precise predictions of the enemy’s next move were as if he had Soldier 76’s tactical visor equipped.
His masterful aiming stance kept his bow hand steady as a rock, his shoulder, elbow, and wrist forming a perfect chanical triangle of force.
The whisper of wind past his ear instantly beca another parater in his trajectory calculations. In the split second before his finger released the string, he could feel the drag coefficient of the 2.3 m/s southeasterly wind.
"Triple Shot!!!"
With a thunderous roar, the bowstring vibrated with a low hum. Three poisoned Arrowheads launched in an instant. A sudden sound of tearing air erupted as the sharp, poisoned shafts left a conspicuous dark-green trail through the forest.
The first arrow slamd into the seam between the Violent Bear’s brow and horn. The second wedged itself into the cluster of arteries behind its ear. The final arrow lodged perfectly in the nerve canal beneath its occipital bone.
Beads of blood sprayed out along the spiraling grooves of the arrow shafts. Each spattering droplet followed the parabolic laws of ballistics, tracing three scarlet arcs in the sunlight.
A perfect hit!
Beautiful!
However, just as Qin Feng was using his bowstring as a brush and Poison Arrows as ink to furiously paint a canvas of damage numbers, the distant Violent Bear’s ferocity had been completely ignited.
Several streaks of dark green light had torn through its defenses like phantoms. By the ti the sharp pain radiated from its skull, it hadn’t even caught a glimpse of its attacker’s silhouette.
As the absolute ruler and sovereign of this forest, the humiliation of being toyed with by a hidden hunter was far more infuriating than the insignificant wounds themselves.
’Aargh!’
’Damn you!’
’I’ll tear you to shreds with my own claws!’
"ROOOAR!!!"
The massive roar sent the forest leaves fluttering. The Violent Bear slamd its huge forepaws into the ground, and dark, blackish blood oozed from beneath the cracked earth.
The Violent Bear’s amber pupils contracted into Bloodthirsty vertical slits. Smashing a century-old oak tree beside it with one swipe of its paw, it began to charge madly in the general direction the arrows had co from.
Furious Charge!
After activating the Boss skill, its body tilted forward. Its keratin-plated back glinted with a steely-blue light as it plowed through the forest barriers with the unstoppable force of a rampaging heavy tank.
Seeing this, Qin Feng showed no signs of panic. Instead, he tapped a light, jaunty rhythm on his bowstring with his knuckle.
He silently calculated the rapidly closing distance between them. As the beast shattered the tenth fir tree in its path, his pupils locked onto the violently heaving behemoth.
"Triple Shot!"
Three more Poison Arrows flew like a swarm of dark-green hornets leaving their nest. Seizing the mont the Violent Bear raised a claw to shove a tree aside, they struck precisely into the unhealed wounds on its head.
Instantly, the faintly visible red health bar in the air shrank by another chunk. The arrowheads’ barbs tore out three more lines of blood, which traced eerie arcs through the trees.
As the enraged behemoth closed the distance to the thirty-ter warning line, Qin Feng suddenly crouched and leaped down from the horizontal branch he was on.
The waiting Forest Wolf let out a low growl, its furry back absorbing the force of his descent. Its four paws struck sparks from the fallen leaves on the forest floor.
Qin Feng’s hand tightened on the wolf’s mane. Like an arrow loosed from a bow, his Mount shot into the dense western woods. As its gray-black form weaved between the shadows of the trees, you could even hear the sharp sound of the gale being torn to shreds.
’Bad news.’
’My stamina is almost gone.’
’I can use Triple Shot one more ti at most before I’m completely exhausted. If I push it, I might even exceed my limits and go into shock or fall into a coma.’
’Good news.’
’With the Violent Bear’s movent speed...’
’...it’ll never catch up to a Forest Wolf, which is a natural jungle runner.’
’Also...’
’...I can gradually recover my stamina by resting.’
’But it can’t quickly recover its lost Life Value just by leaving combat.’
’Hmm...’
’In that case, I’ll just lead this guy on a little tour of the area!’
