Chapter 579: Underwater, Kill!
The Earth Manipulator was speechless for a moment.
As a star player, he had seen enough Snipers with high output. But he had never seen such a cruel one before, causing over 35,000 damage on a Quasi-Boss with just one shot. Even if it was just a one-time attack, it was impossible to achieve that with just luck.
"Crap!" After glaring at Feng Luo, the Earth Manipulator's eyes suddenly changed to stare behind Feng Luo, and he could not help but exclaim again.
Although Feng Luo's shot had just reduced the giant Sea Serpent's health to below 15%, it had completely awoken the giant Sea Serpent from its daze.
The alert Quasi-Boss could no longer focus its rage and vengeance on Feng Luo. Or was the Earth Manipulator's Stone Pillar also a part of it?
The outcome now was that the Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent, which was already low on health, had once again given up on everyone else.
Twisting its gigantic body, it charged towards the direction of the two of them, not charging by slithering on the deck but "leaping" like when it was on the warship. This time, it probably was really absolutely enraged.
"Hiss!"
The serpent was not bothered by the Rare Alloy Sword stabbed into its tail anymore as it violently shook it off, resulting in its tail being split in half down the middle by the alloy sword blade, leaving a huge section of its moving tail on the deck.
"Splash!"
They could not react in time before the serpent's gigantic body had leapt into the air and crashed down at the position of Feng Luo and the Earth Manipulator.
The great impact had broken the cabin wall, and it dived head-first into the sea.
"No good, it's escaping!"
There would not be too many people concerned about the situation with Feng Luo and the Earth Manipulator other than the two of them.
At the intention of this giant serpent in rage which fell into the sea due to overexertion, there were quite a few people who had quickly realized it.
The health of this Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent was below 10%. Its behavior just now could be better said to be jumping at the chance to escape than to attack.
Don't look down on the AI of Boss-Grade creatures in War; the intelligence of some high-grade creatures was not inferior to humans at all.
This giant Sea Serpent had realized that its health had endangered its life right after it was awakened from its faintness, and thus did not intend to attack anyone at all and only had the goal of escaping.
Although its health was extremely low, this gray limitless sea was its best protection.
If it just entered the water, the players on the warship would have no way of clearing its last-remaining health of not more than a few tens of thousands.
"Da, da, da..."
"Bombs on....bomb..."
"F*ck, it really escaped!"
Upon realizing that the giant Sea Serpent wanted to escape, the players on the warship rapidly focused their firepower, firing at the small part of its body still exposed at the surface of the water.
It was a pity that the players' reaction was ultimately too late.
The Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent's health had once again fallen to less than 5% in this round of attack and had completely fallen into "heavily injured" state which stripped it of its movement ability.
However, it made use of its full-power speed-up from the start, completely submerging the last section of its broken tail into the seawater. The bullets and skills following closely behind it and being shot into the water only resulted in a bunch of "-1, -1" nominal damage coefficients.
The seawater with high resistance completely weakened bullets and Energy skills to nothing.
This Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent with just 5% of health left had escaped right before the eyes of many top players.
...
In the sea where it was all gray and darker the deeper it went, a giant Sea Serpent with a body size of over 40 meters continuously sank down.
However, looking closely, one could see that at a spot on the giant Sea Serpent's body, a black figure in combat attire was firmly clinging on.
"Gurgle!"
Feng Luo let out a breath of air from his mouth, forming a large number of air bubbles. From the Black Eagle gloves on his hands, five eagle claw-like hooked blade-shaped structures reached out, tightly hooked onto the giant Sea Serpent's palm-sized scales.
Despite the giant Sea Serpent's rapid diving motion just now due to being in a rush to escape, it could not shake him off.
The giant Sea Serpent did not have the ability to continue speeding up in its diving now, as after it desperately entered the water, the players' last less than one second of mad attacking had made its health fall to just over 3%.
Being heavily injured, the giant Sea Serpent's health recovery was greatly slowed down.
Despite having entered the water for more than 10 seconds, it still was not free from its heavily injured state and did not have the ability to shake off Feng Luo who was tightly holding on and diving down with it.
The giant Sea Serpent probably would not think that the last deliberate counter of fleeing had rather attracted a killer.
"Gurgle!"
Feng Luo breathed out as he took out the Ghost Weep military knife from his tactical belt and started to climb towards the giant serpent's heart.
The giant Sea Serpent's speed had become free-falling; he no longer needed to hold on to catch up with the giant Sea Serpent's speed, and as for his purpose of following it down into the sea, there was no need to say.
An immobilized Quasi-Boss - what a huge temptation.
"Stab!"
Feeling the position of the giant Sea Serpent's heart, Feng Luo held onto Ghost Weep in reverse in his hand and violently stabbed downward.
"-1033!"
The damage was not considered to be too high; although Ghost Weep's 30-centimeter blade was considered long among military knives, facing this giant Sea Serpent with an enormous body size, it was still a little insufficient. Although he had accurately aimed at the heart, he was unable to straightaway stab out lethal damage.
Additionally, the resistance in the water was not low, thus the resultant damage coefficient was only a fraction.
"Stab, stab, stab..."
"-1023, -1034, -988..."
Although Feng Luo continuously stabbed with Ghost Weep, it only caused the giant Sea Serpent's less than 4% of health to fall gradually.
"-300, -310, -320..."
Amidst the continuous stabbing, above Feng Luo's head he also saw an emergence of a bunch of health reduction coefficients.
This was not due to the giant Sea Serpent's counterattacks but because the sensations that the environments in War gave were highly realistic; since it was underwater, humans naturally could not breathe freely.
These continuous large movements were the most consuming of the oxygen stored in the bloodstream, let alone the fact that he was now in a position 70 or 80 meters underwater, while rapidly descending, the great change in water pressure was also a huge challenge.
While the giant Sea Serpent's health was continuously falling, Feng Luo's health was similarly continuously decreasing.
"+1000, +1000..."
However, to others, this was definitely an extremely huge problem - they probably would have been dead before even killing the giant Sea Serpent.
Feng Luo was different; with his Force recovery engaged, not only his health but also the sensation of seriously lacking oxygen was rapidly relieved as well. The Force was indeed useful.
"Stab, stab, stab..."
"-1099, -1164, -987..."
It was more than 100 meters below in following the giant Sea Serpent sinking; as the transparency of the gray ocean region was too low, the surrounding brightness had become very dark.
If it was not for Feng Luo having sight enhancement, he probably would be unable to see the giant Sea Serpent's body clearly.
"Stab!"
"-1454!"
However, with another stab hitting straight at the heart where the giant Sea Serpent's abdomen area was already wounded, caused lethal damage. This Level 50 Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent's health was finally cleared out.
[You have killed Overlord Sea Serpent (Level 50 - Quasi-Boss creature), killing contribution: 15.3%. XP earned: 3060, Merit earned: 5.]
"Hua!"
The moment the system message flashed past, Feng Luo's vision changed in color...
In the environment of darkness 100 meters underwater, a huge amount of the glow of prizes appeared in an instant.
It had exploded, and it was a huge explosion.
