Chapter 605: "Dead and Revived" Quasi-BOSS

"Boom, boom..."

The self-destructed rock fragments within a 100-meter range suddenly vibrated vigorously.

The surface of the rocks of varying sizes started to turn yellow, rapidly rolling towards some spot, even flying. Even the remaining rock fragments from the self-destructed rocks on the ground agglomerated towards one spot.

"What's going on?"

"Something's not right, the Quasi-Boss isn't dead!"

The system had not given the message that the Quasi-Boss had been killed, that itself was proof, it was only that many people had not noticed.

Since the Quasi-Boss had self-destructed; in the minds of these high-level players who had killed many Bosses before, they clearly knew that a Boss self-destructing was equivalent to it awaiting its death.

They didn't think that this Quasi-Boss could still be alive after self-destructing.

In addition, large amounts of soil were sent around the center of the explosion, resulting in the players being unable to see clearly initially if prizes had been produced, thus overlooking an obvious loophole.

"Bazoom!"

The giant rocks that were all over the ground, under the "guidance" of the khaki-colored energy, retreated back to the center and rapidly reconstructed.

Just like an explosion scene in reverse, in just five seconds, the Quasi-Boss rock ball had reappeared on the battlefield.

"Crap, it can explode and can be constructed, how do we fight it?" There were already people who could not help but exclaim.

"Don't panic, it's not that there's no price for its self-destruction! Its health is just over 40,000 and it has no sign of fast recovery! Technically, at most, it can self-destruct another four or five times before it'd have no more ability to self-destruct!" Upon scanning the Quasi-Boss that had finished reconstructing, with his Legendary-Grade Recon Meter, Jing Kong looked like there was new information he received as he quickly yelled through Frontline Command's loudspeaker beside him.

Most Boss-Grade creatures had the ability of fast health recovery. However, this Quasi-Boss did not, and rather, the self-destruction would consume its health.

Letting it self-destruct and explode itself to death seemed like a feasible way.

The question was if they really let it continue to self-destruct, how large would the team's loss be?

As a Level 60 Quasi-Boss, the methods of this Quasi-Boss were very simple and straightforward - no unbreakable Energy Force Fields, no long-range attack skills of typical Quasi-Bosses either...

However, this reckless self-destruction was just enough to cause huge bonus damage.

It was okay for normal monsters to self-destruct, but did this Quasi-Boss have self-destruction as its regular attack method? If such an explosion just now was to be done several more times, the reclamation team members would probably be reduced to a third soon.

"Close-combat, stop advancing! Everyone, summon your pets, use big-sized pets to push forward!" Frontline Command's voice sounded once again, his voice had regained composure this time.

"This is a good plan?"

"Didn't think of it!"

Hearing this, many players were shocked.

On the battlefield, the white lights of summoned pets appeared in an instant.

In such a situation, letting some pets hinder this Quasi-Boss and divert its attention, and with the players not going close, the loss would not be too unbearable when it self-destructed.

Although pets would lose Loyalty upon death and would require money to be revived, the price was still acceptable compared with players dying and losing their chance at high-quality loot, such as the Quasi-Boss Pet Chip.

Moreover, there was another thing, the Contribution of pets would be counted as the player's Contribution.

Letting pets attack, they could earn a certain Contribution once the Quasi-Boss really died, and fight for the fourth Quasi-Boss Chip from there.

"Contribution..." Feng Luo thought hard.

He had just used his Wings of Death and had continuously fired over 10 shots at the Quasi-Boss.

He had to admit that the defense of this Quasi-Boss covered with rock, that nobody knew how thick, was really pretty rad.

With the Wings of Death together with B-Grade armor-piercing bullets, there was still no way of causing much destruction to the Quasi-Boss's defense. The multiple shots only barely caused more than over 5000 damage, when a few of which were critical hits.

With such an output, he had no grasp in securing the number one Contribution.

"Tap in on our pets?" Whether or not to tap on his beetles, Feng Luo was a little hesitant.

To really use pets to engage in such a battle tactic of competing for Contribution, others could not match up to him if he were to compete.

Not to mention the loss to the beetle troops with the mass massacring of the Quasi-Boss's self-destruction.

The most important reason why he had not chosen to summon his beetle troops to aid in the battle was that normal beetle troops were seen as "wild beasts" in the eyes of players.

In such a situation where there was mass battling everywhere, where it was impossible to tell all the players that the beetles were controlled, his beetle troops would very likely be mistakenly wiped out in the battle by his own teammates if he were to summon them out.

"But it's not that there's no way at all to use them either..." Feng Luo had made a decision. Holding his sniper rifle, he quickly ran up the jungle close by, towards a higher position.

In this process, he had pressed the button on his Pet Bracer.

With a flash of white light, as 24K appeared flapping its wings, the black wormhole had immediately appeared as well.

A Scout Beetle, which looked no different from normal Scout Beetles, came out.

After this, some shapeless force radiated from its body, covering a range of over 10 meters surrounding it.

After, 100 Energy Beetles flew out from the wormhole, rapidly forming a transparent Energy Forcefield in front of Feng Luo.

In typical situations with 100 "wild beasts" appearing, the present Scout player's Recon Meters would have become an area of dense yellow color.

However, at that moment, even on Jing Kong's Legendary-Grade Recon Meter, without any Detection engaged or any equipment included skill, no message appeared.

All of this was because of the Scout Beetle which looked no different from normal Scout Beetles above Feng Luo's head.

Other than having the greater camouflaging ability, Commander-Grade Scout Beetles, compared to Elite-Grade Scout Beetles, were truly great at being able to disrupt and shield against the detection capability of Recon Meters towards a specific target within a certain range.

"Bazoom!"

In the process of Feng Luo summoning the beetles, the Quasi-Boss at the center of the battlefield had engaged in the second self-destruction.

This time, over 20 streaks of white light had appeared as a result.

This time, however, most of the deaths were those of close-combat big-sized pets.

Only two unfortunate low-health players were directly smashed by the huge rocks being sent flying by the explosion in the outer circle. Upon their deaths, they left behind the Pet Chips, crystals, and equipment they picked up from the previous three ruins.

This fourth base was a huge loss to the team, but to the surviving players, they had some benefit.

Everything picked up by the dead players would be produced, and there would also be some bonus Rare and even Legendary items added; if they had no teammates, then it would be letting others have it easy.
