Chapter 8: 100% Barehanded Catch (Catching Bugs)
"Captain, look, it's the ogre priest and leader!" Qin Bai stretched out his hand and shouted.
Xu Hongying looked up and frowned: "I can't see through that leader."
She could see the Ogre Priest's panel clearly, and as far as the attribute values were concerned, she could handle it.
But this leader was obviously different. Even from a long distance, she could feel an inexplicable pressure.
Especially the "appearance action" when the leader first appears and raises the machete and waves it.
If that knife were to strike them, they would be instantly killed...
"I don't know if these bear monsters controlled by the person behind the scenes can defeat the leader."
She didn't have a golden finger system like Linzhi, so she naturally thought she was in trouble and couldn't help but worry about her "savior".
At this moment, Linzhi jumped directly from the ten-meter-high mountainside.
(After awakening, the physique is different from that of ordinary people, so some extraordinary jumping and climbing movements can be performed. This is a novel setting, please do not imitate it in real life.)
The ogre leader has been weakened, and she now has absolute confidence in dealing with it.
Hearing the noise and seeing Linzhi appear in their camp, the ogre priest and the leader both roared and said a bunch of gibberish that Linzhi couldn't understand, and then raised their staffs and machetes.
Judging from the situation, it seems that they have realized that it was Linzhi who was "making trouble".
Linzhi walked without caring about his relatives, commanding the bears to surround him, with the posture of an ancient general who "gives a hundred responses with one call".
But if the ogre had a higher IQ, he would definitely understand what Lin Zhi meant now - "Get out of the way, I'm going to start showing off."
"Gibberish..."
"Chili gabble..."
Seeing the ogre priest chanting an unknown spell and raising his staff at the same time, Lin Zhi immediately gave an order -
Several bears scattered near the priest immediately clenched their fists and slammed the ground with such force that the ogre priest felt the staff in his hand slip and fall out of his hand.
Under Lin Zhi's control, the other bear immediately raised its paw and crushed the staff with a "snap".
Ogre Priest: ???
The staff is a medium. Things like [Healing Wave] and [Chaos Curse] can only be cast with the help of the staff.
Without the staff, there is no energy supply. No matter how sophisticated the spells the ogre priest chants, there is no other way.
Not to mention assisting the ogre leader.
While it was stunned, it was slapped to the ground by the bears, and then two bears sat on it, completely restricting its movements.
As for why not kill immediately.
Linzhi said she wanted to try out other skills.
Currently she has been using [Summon the Dead]. In addition to 2 passive skills, she also has 3 active skills.
There has never been a chance to use [Sacrifice of the Dead] and [Gaze of the Dead].
[Sacrifice of the Dead] is used to increase one's own strength, and is currently unavailable. However, [Gaze of the Dead] has two incredible effects:
After activating a skill and gazing at a target, if the target's mental attribute is lower than that of the skill initiator, there is a chance of triggering "instant death";
Higher than the skill initiator, the probability of causing their mind to fall into confusion.
With Lin Zhi's current mental strength, the probability of "instant death" effect is 10%, and the probability of confusion effect is 20%.
However, the Ogre Priest's spirit value is not as good as hers, so it can only trigger a 10% instant death effect.
As for the Ogre Chieftain, there are too many variables and it is not convenient to try, so we can only use the Ogre Priest who has lost his weapons.
Behind a huge rock not far away, the three members of the Hongying team who were secretly watching the battle were dumbfounded.
To be honest, they were shocked when Linzhi came out. They didn't expect that the person who could control so many powerful giant bears was just a little girl.
More importantly, they can see the little girl’s faceplate!
Although all that was displayed was “???”, it also proved that her level was not as high as theirs.
As for the "disaster-level" suffix, the three of them noticed it but didn't think too much about it.
They deny it subconsciously.
Maybe it's some kind of camouflage skill.
…
I thought I would win just by relying on the number of bears I summoned, but I didn't expect that a single bear could overpower the Ogre Priest, even though he had no weapons.
As for the ogre leader, for some reason, Linzhi did not let Xiongxiong kill it immediately, but kept consuming its blood and teasing it.
This caused the ogre leader to burst into impotent rage, and even after seeing the priest being sat on by two bears, this rage reached its peak.
It's really angry!!
"roar--"
A hoarse and unpleasant roar came from the mouth of the ogre leader. Linzhi watched with interest as its dark green skin gradually turned red, thinking that it was preparing to use its skills.
but……
Poor leader, your skills now are not the same as before.
[Ogre Chieftain] (Elite)
[Level]: LV25
[Strength]: 200 (weakened by 50%)
[Physical Strength]: 200 (reduced by 50%)
[Speed]: 80
[Spirit]: 0
[Skills]: Wild Dance, Desperate Slash, Complete Madness (Boss Exclusive)
[Wild Dance]: (Sealed)
[Desperate Slash]: Causes 100 damage (reduced by 75%)
[Complete Madness]: Will not fall into a crazy state. Using this skill will cause you to fall into a weak state with a chance of all attributes reduced by 50% (optimized)
Judging from the situation, he must have activated [Complete Madness].
The ogre leader naturally also saw Linzhi's leisurely and calm expression, which could even be called playful. Although he didn't understand what he meant, he could guess that the other party looked down on him.
But three seconds later, the ogre became even angrier when he felt that he was not strengthened but weakened.
It didn't have much intelligence, but it knew that the human in front of it must have done something to cause its body to have problems!
Just kill her...
Thinking of this, the ogre leader swung his sword repeatedly, and with Linzhi's intentional "letting the sea go", he broke out of the fierce encirclement and came towards her!
Lin Zhi raised his eyebrows and stopped trying to control Xiong Xiong.
Speaking of which, my profession is a ranged one, and the recent battles have all been resolved by summoned undead servants, and I have never tested my own strength.
What a mage fears most is close combat. If she encounters a monster that directly attacks her in the future, it will be troublesome.
During this battle with the ogre, Lin Zhi also discovered the most easily overlooked point -
That is your own personal strength without the help of summons.
After all, no one knows whether there will be a time when they cannot be summoned, so even if you have a lot of servants, there may be times when they cannot be taken care of.
The awakened ones have all kinds of strange skills. If they encounter monsters that can block skills and space, it will be difficult.
Therefore, Linzhi planned to face the ogre leader alone, and she wanted to confirm her guess.
After killing those ogre warriors, I leveled up 2 levels. My current strength, stamina, speed and spirit are 160, 160, 160, 320 (+32) [equipment blessing] respectively. I can fight against the ogre leader in his weak period.
[Ogre Chieftain] (Elite) (Weak)
[Level]: LV25
[Strength]: 100
[Stamina]: 100
[Speed]: 40
[Spirit]: 0
[Skills]: Wild Dance (sealed), Desperate Slash, Complete Madness (effective)
[Desperate Slash]: Causes 50 damage
To be honest, Linzhi felt a little embarrassed when he saw the attribute panel of the current ogre leader.
My LV1 [Undead Skeleton]'s basic three dimensions seem to be 80, 80, 30?
Amid the ogre leader's angry roar, Linzhi stared intently at the machete in its hand, looking eager and impatient.
Finally, the distance is closer.
Just when the machete was about to touch Lin Zhi's head——
"Bang."
A slight metallic collision sound was heard.
There was no bloodshed, it was very peaceful, so peaceful that even the ogre leader was stunned for a moment.
The three members of the Hongying team, who were originally anxious, couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The ogre leader raised his huge head in great confusion, and was shocked to find that—
Its knife was caught!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: 100% Barehanded Blade Catch!]
[Gain new passive skill——[Passive Defense]]
[Passive Defense]: When facing an incoming attack, it is triggered 100% of the time and can perfectly block the attack (this skill is only effective for melee weapons)
In other words, it can only intercept close-range attacks from swords, spears, axes, halberds, hooks and forks, but it cannot block long-range skills cast by magic staffs and bows.
But come to think of it, if all skills can be blocked, then this book can already end——
Since then, Linzhi has been invincible in the world.
Let’s get back to the topic.
There was only a slight resistance in his hand, and Lin Zhi, who had a strength attribute of 160, perfectly caught the ogre leader's machete. Before the other party could react, he took the machete out and then chopped the ogre leader with it.
[Ding! The host's attack triggered a strengthening effect. The system has increased the host's strength by 5 times!]
Ogre Leader: ...
What a vicious human being.
The ogre leader only saw the machete flashing with cold light coming towards him, and before he could dodge, he heard a "click" sound next to his ear.
It was directly split into two halves by Lin Zhi with one knife.
The huge body collapsed with a loud bang, followed by a flash of dazzling light.
[Successfully killed the LV25 Ogre Leader (Elite), experience +2500! ]
[Congratulations to the host for taking the boss's equipment - Heavy Machete (Rare)]
[Heavy Machete] (Rare)
Level: LV25
After equipping, the strength attribute increases by 10% (this equipment is only available for melee professions)
It can be used or assembled, but if it is just used, there will be no strength attribute bonus. Lin Zhi doesn't want to carry a knife around fighting all day, so he simply put it on the [Trading Mall] and priced it at 500,000 gold coins.
After all, it is a rare equipment, and it was obtained by defeating the ogre leader.
Ogre Leader: Are you sure this isn't robbery?
Lin Zhi thought this price was very reasonable. The previous high-quality [Blood Blade] was sold instantly at 90,000 gold, and its only attribute was a 10-point increase in Strength.
The [Heavy Machete] is of rare quality. Although its name is not very good, its characteristic is 10% of the overall strength attribute!
Even though a person with a strength of 100 will only be upgraded to 110, which is an extra 10 points, what if the strength attribute is 200 or 300?
Then this bonus is terrifying.
So the price of 500,000 is not high at all.
Sure enough, not long after the weapon was put on the shelf, she received a game prompt that "You have successfully sold an item", successfully earning 500,000 gold.
The current total wealth of Linzhi is 600,000 gold, equivalent to 60 million Chinese yuan!
