Chapter-16

"Well this should be enough"

Zhou Li said as he saw the number of potions he had in his inventory. He would always bring a bit over double the potions needed and overprepare because of uncertainties and it had saved him from a lot of predicaments in his previous life. The fight would only take at most 10 potions and would lessen how skilled you are. Zhou LI had brought 26 bottles of (Level1) poison-resistant potions.

Zhou LI gulped down one of the (Level 1) poison-resistant potions as he moved toward the snake boss. This was not the silver snake boss that he needed to kill to complete the secret quest but a bronze boss. Zhou Li had his reasons for coming all the way here and killing this boss but that would be answered in the future. The snake hissed and attacked Zhou Li using its tail but Zhou Li dodged it. It caused a lot of smoke and impact when it hit the ground and the snake hissed in anger as it had missed its target. Zhou Li used this opportunity to hit the snake with his skill.

{-82}

He hit it pretty hard considering that it was a boss that had some resistance to both physical and magic due to its scales. As Zhou Li hit it a couple of more times, he moved away as he saw that the snake was about to use a skill. The snake opened its mouth and delivered a glob of green substance which melted the ground where Zhou Li had been before he had dodged it. Zhou Li then attacked it again as the snake used its fangs to bite Zhou Li but Zhou LI straddled onto the head of the snake and struck it one after another. Though the snake was going to use another skill that was apparent in its motion, Zhou Li didn't move away but continued striking it. The snake used its skill and blew green smoke from its mouth.

It was a poisonous gas that would deliver dot damage but ZHou Li had brought the resistant potions for this moment. The resistant potions would work against the acid glob but the player would still take some damage from it. Though it had been reduced, a level 1 potion couldn't solve the toxic glob yet as its potency was a bit stronger than it but it was able to completely block against the toxic smoke the boss made.

The snake continued using this skill for 5 seconds till the smoke filled the cave completely. Zhou Li had delivered quite a blow during this time as one-fourth of the health of the snake was gone. Zhou Li then got off the snake as it had used its tail to strike him. But the snake hit itself in the head with its tail and got stunned for a few seconds which Zhou Li used to deliver more damage.

The critical strike in Sanctuary depended on skill as one could swing their swords mindlessly and hope that it would hit a weak spot or those who were skilled and could strike the weak point with precision and strength.

As Zhou Li dodged and struck the snake boss and gobbled poison-resistance potions. As the density of the poisonous smoke was getting thinner as it was about to go out, The snake used the skill again and straddled on the snake again but this time, as Zhou Li dodged the tail attack of the snake though it did not hit its head again. As Zhou Li was landing on the ground after dodging the attack.

"Master, be careful"

"What"

There was another tail that had struck Zhou Li when he had landed.

Zhou Li got hit into the wall as the impact made spider-like cracks on it.

"Almost half of my health, what the heck"

Zhou Li said as he drank a health potion as he came out of the crater on the wall.

Zhou Li blinked his eyes as to see another snake that was bigger than the snake he was fighting.

"I think I am hallucinating, Chunhua tell me if I am hallucinating or are there two snake bosses"

"Master, you are not hallucinating there is indeed two"

"Hahaha"

"Did you just multiply"

He said as he look at the snakes with a poker face. The snakes also looked back at him with eyes that were filled with anger as they thought the human was mocking them as they could not understand what he was saying.

"Inspect"Zhou Li used his inspect skill to look at the heath of the snakes as he had no idea which one was the one he had been dealing wth. The only difference between them was their size and they both had white scales.

"The smaller one is the original one"

"The bigger one, how did it even appear here"

"Maybe I triggered some secret mechanism"

They both used their tails and strikes at Zhou Li but he jumped over both and used one of them as a stepping stone to jump even higher and used his spear to strike at the eye of the smaller with force.

The snake could not dodge because of the sheer speed of the arriving spear and get hit in the eye as blood fell.

{-823(Critical)}

Zhou LI took out the spear and jumped up to advoid the bigger snake who tried to bite him. Zhou Li then attacked the place where he had been piercing when he had straddled on it. The spear went through the head and hit the brain as the snake lost all its health.

{-1535(Critical)}

As one of the snakes was killed, Zhou Li thought that it would be easy road from here as only another one would be left. The other one was two levels higher than this one which was a level 8 and its stats were near the peak of a bronze boss but it was still a bronze boss so it was easier than a silver boss Zhou Li thought as he turned around to see red aura emitting from the snake and the size of the snake had begun to shift and became bigger.

"Inspect"

{Grade: Semi-Silver}

"I guess it will be harder with it both being in a berserk state and being a semi-silver now"
