Chapter 6: Boss Strategy in Progress

Whoa!

This charge can't be blocked.

Although the check failed, the Block still exempted some damage; otherwise Su Sheng would have thought this collision could have killed him outright.

"Hahaha, looks like the big boss can't handle it either."

"What big boss? We overestimated them."

"Level up, level up, try to level fast and take down this BOSS."

Seeing Su Sheng get knocked back, many players looked away, no longer watching this side.

But some players were surprised that Su Sheng wasn't instantly killed despite being hit head‑on.

Previously, anyone hit head‑on was almost certain to die.

At this moment, Su Sheng already raised his sword and shield and darted away.

Big Rabbit hopped after him, after all Su Sheng had just attacked it, using Heroic Strike twice with a slight Taunt effect.

The Big Rabbit, whose hatred was locked onto Su Sheng, naturally gave chase.

Su Sheng surveyed the surrounding players and the hill's terrain, his eyes flicking; at the edge of the distant slope lay a small hollow.

It wasn't tall, about half a human's height, and monsters rarely spawn below, so players rarely go there.

So Su Sheng sprinted toward it, deliberately throttling his speed so Big Rabbit could hop after him without breaking the hate range.

Seeing Su Sheng chased by Big Rabbit with no time to level, some players showed a taunting grin.

After a while, they finally led the BOSS to the hollow, and Su Sheng didn't hesitate before leaping down.

The Big Rabbit, still holding Su Sheng's hate, naturally jumped down as well.

He turned, sword out!

Fang!

Being pursued by Big Rabbit, never leaving the fight, his Battle Intent naturally stayed high.

Meanwhile, Big Rabbit's health had already fully regenerated.

Big Rabbit had just hopped down, still unsteady, when a fang loomed wildly before his eyes.

Crimson!

Weak Point Critical Hit!

-160

Rend!

Su Sheng grinned, luck was on his side.

Heroic Strike!

What follows is a series of normal attacks.

A Fang burst occurs every 15‑second CD cycle.

In those 15 seconds, Big Rabbit can heal 750 HP, meaning Su Sheng must output over 750 damage within that window.

That's only possible because Su Sheng's strikes almost always hit weak points; otherwise there'd be no chance.

Even his self from seven years ago couldn't have done it so easily; seven years of military service have made Su Sheng's combat awareness terrifyingly sharp.

During those 15 seconds, using the Free Mode's post‑cancel stagger‑free attack, he lands at least three swords per second, occasionally scoring a weak‑point critical, plus skills and occasional Fang Ripping Bleed.

Barely, he can deal 750–800 damage, mainly from Fang bursts with Rend and the high‑frequency weak‑point criticals.

Of course, the core is the five‑second Fang Rend, which suppresses Big Rabbit's healing.

Five seconds of healing equals 250 HP; removing that 250 is the key to Su Sheng's strategy against this BOSS.

And so Su Sheng happily began his assault on the BOSS.

Even though Su Sheng is at half health, normal attacks can be easily Block‑exempted.

He just needs to dodge when skills appear, and Su Sheng has already calculated the CD times of the two Big Rabbit BOSS skills.

Su Sheng calculated that, without any mistakes, it will take at least about 20 minutes to defeat this Big Rabbit.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

Su Sheng began to focus.

It also helps that the hollow is only half a human tall and Big Rabbit moves by hopping.

Each time Big Rabbit moves, it hops half a body length, making players notice its presence.

Everyone thinks at this stage no one can take down this Big Rabbit, so just spotting the rabbit is enough.

As for Su Sheng, because his view is blocked by half a body length, his attack points are aimed downward as much as possible to provoke Big Rabbit's eyes; since no one can see Su Sheng's exact actions, no one really cares what he's doing.

Thus, the Big Rabbit BOSS's HP steadily declines.

With Su Sheng focused, in just over ten minutes the Big Rabbit was already on low health; after all it's just the Newbie Village's rookie BOSS, and aside from newbies who are crushed by its stats, the difficulty isn't high—just the Three Axe routine.

So Su Sheng made no mistakes; his half health even recovered a bit.

At this point, a group of players gathered on the lawn.

They were the peak‑level player crowd, roughly a few hundred.

Clearly their levels had risen enough, ready to attempt this BOSS.

But they're still a bit scattered, converging now.

Su Sheng's peripheral vision caught the scene, he glanced at the Big Rabbit BOSS's remaining health, and his eyebrows lifted.

Because he was a bit hurried and distracted, he misjudged a skill, failed to dodge, could only Shield Raise Block, and the mitigation failed.

-80

In an instant Su Sheng was left with low health; if he makes one more mistake, the Big Rabbit will kill Su Sheng.

Calm!

Calm!

Su Sheng suddenly felt his heart race and forced himself to calm down.

We're already at this point; don't waste the progress.

Su Sheng forced himself to stay calm, proceeding methodically, it should be in time.

At this moment, other players also noticed the Peak Guild's actions.

"Whoa, the Peak Guild is preparing to raid the BOSS."

"I'm only just reached level 4; I can't even damage that Big Rabbit."

"You're fine; too many are snatching the monster, I'm only level 3."

"What do we do? Watch the Peak Guild take down this BOSS?"

"Anyway I have to get involved; after all, the Newbie Village death penalty—who cares."

"Right!"

So most players stopped leveling and prepared to follow the Peak Guild over.

"Huh? That guy hasn't died yet? Or did he die and come back?"

At this time, some players noticed Su Sheng still standing there, doing nothing.

"He can't be raiding the BOSS, can he?"

At that moment the Big Rabbit happened to leap out; seeing its figure, there was no doubt—it was the BOSS, so it was fine.

"You're overthinking; you know how tough that BOSS is. Without gear or skills, who could solo the BOSS?"

"True, let's go over and see."

So a group of players started moving over.

Meanwhile Su Sheng ignored everything, Blocked a normal attack from the Big Radish, then unleashed a Fang whose cooldown had just finished.

Critical!

Critical!

Su Sheng prayed inwardly.

Almost done; the Big Rabbit's health is nearly depleted, one or two more critical hits will finish it.

Perhaps Su Sheng's prayer took effect.

Hit the eye!

Crimson big letters, Weak Point Critical Hit, fourfold!

-171

Rend activated!

Good!

Su Sheng's eyes lit up.

Normal attack, normal attack, normal attack!

After 5 seconds, the bleeding ends.

Heroic Strike, done!

Sweep! Two times!

Weak Point Critical Hit!

Squeak!

Both consecutive skills produced Weak Point Critical Hits, instantly wiping out the Big Rabbit's last bit of health.

After a wail, the Big Rabbit collapsed limp.

Whoa!!

Just then the first player appeared at the edge of the mountain hollow, saw the Big Rabbit falling, and couldn't help shouting.

Coincidentally at that moment, a system announcement replayed.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the player…"
