——Howling Horned Demon: Attack 3, Defense 2, HP 13, Damage 1-4, Attack Speed 8, Movement Speed 5, Special Ability: Projectile Attack, Enrage.

The Howling Horned Demons live on the islands above the hellish sea of lava. Although they move slowly themselves, they can rely on their leap ability, comparable to flying units, to traverse the scorching lava islands. Because of this, they possess a projectile attack ability that even the most powerful demons dare not underestimate.

——Projectile Attack: The Howling Horned Demon can use its astonishing jumping power to launch its own body like a cannonball to the farthest corners of the battlefield, even into city walls. The farther the distance of the projectile, the higher the damage upon landing. However, this high-speed movement also results in a decrease in attack accuracy, and after landing, it will be in a completely broken armor and weakened state, taking double damage. If projectile attack is used consecutively, the broken armor and weakened effect becomes more severe, and the damage taken multiplies.

As a tier-two unit, the Howling Horned Demon is one of the most feared low-level wild monsters for any player. Of course, all Hell faction units are a headache as wild monsters. Its projectile attack often deals two to three times its own damage, making it hard to escape unscathed when encountering it. Even many high-level units fall victim to it, making it the most valuable cannon fodder suicide unit!

David Carter suddenly realized! No wonder bro’s 1-3 damage could actually deal 6 points of damage!

That is to say, this Sea Anemone King, as a plant monster, has a very low attack speed, relying entirely on its lightning-fast special ability—projectile tentacle attack. And its attack speed isn’t just low—it’s absurdly low, only 1! That means for every 10 attacks a player makes, it only attacks once! So bro stabbed it for ages, and even when it was about to be torn apart, it couldn’t fight back!

Of course, this attack speed of 1 should refer to a single tentacle, but it has more than a dozen tentacles, so the low attack speed isn’t really a problem. But now it’s different—now bro is hiding inside the skull, and only one tentacle can reach in!

So that’s it! Projectile attacks themselves aren’t very accurate, and I’m dodging with all my might, so let’s try taking them down one by one!

David Carter took a deep breath and once again moved his head to the eye socket of the skull. This was the most crucial and dangerous part of the tactic!

Succeeding once might not be hard, but the hard part is succeeding a dozen times in a row! But for David Carter, a seasoned construction professional with nerves of steel from years of high-altitude work, producing safely once isn’t hard, and producing safely a dozen times in a row isn’t hard either!

Chapter 10: Experts Are Made by Soloing Bosses

Time in the game passed quickly, and night was about to end.

The entire inside of the giant whale skull was covered in green slime. The fully focused David Carter had lost count of how many tentacles he had lured and killed. When David Carter once again carefully moved his head to the hole, the familiar gust of wind didn’t come! Killed, all killed?

Peeking out from inside, the sand outside was also covered in green slime. More than a dozen tentacles, shredded to pieces, were still writhing and bubbling on the ground. Success! It really worked! Bro took out all its claws and fangs! Now, a sea anemone without tentacles is just a toothless tiger. If I can’t win even now, then I really can’t win!

David Carter walked out of the skull. Sensing David Carter’s approach, the tentacles on the ground struggled and began to writhe.

Heh, no need to struggle, bro will end your pain! David Carter stood at a distance and finished them off one by one, nailing all the tentacles dead. All that’s left is the main body in the sand, right? Nothing more to say, David Carter stabbed into the sand—-2! With a splat, a patch of green slime burst out!

No reaction? Excited, David Carter stabbed again—-2!

Can’t fight back, huh? Haha! Wahahaha! This is exactly what I wanted! David Carter laughed ecstatically to the sky!

Didn’t I say it? Bro is an expert! How could there be a monster in the newbie village that a newbie can’t kill? Soloing a boss! Since ancient times, this is the foundation of experts’ rise, the path to success! This is the cornerstone of moving from one victory to another! This is a good start, half the battle to a successful life!

David Carter continued to thrust his spear like a dragon, raining down stabs, fully enjoying this hard-won victory!

Dawn was breaking in the east, the sound of waves thundered—the tide was rising!

And David Carter delivered the final blow! A golden light descended from the sky!
