As soon as he saw the purple light, Xiao Hua immediately knew that it was the light of an elite boss appearing!
Xiao Hua had never heard of a new player village spawning elite bosses. After casting an identification spell, Xiao Hua obtained information about this guy who was roughly the same size as a slime, but was wearing a black leather armor that looked incongruous.
Mutant Slime (Elite): Level 15, HP 5000, Physical Attack 60-70, Magic Attack 10-10, Physical Defense 100, Magic Defense 50.
At the sight of the data of the mutated slime, Xiao Hua couldn't help but be blindsided. Master fishing has added a total of 10 points of strength. In the past eight months, he has killed eight giant slimes. His level has risen to level 11. In order to improve the output, the upgraded points have also been added to his strength. Now his strength has reached 56 points. However, with a 10-15 dagger, his attack is only 72-77, and even the BOSS's defense cannot be broken.
As soon as the mutated slime appeared, it roared loudly and charged with its huge body.
Collision! This is a skill that is identical to that of the giant slime, but when mutated slime uses it, the momentum is multiplied. If hit, Xiao Hua knew that the damage would definitely not be low, so he hurriedly turned his body sideways to avoid it.
Mutated slime's impact is a single attack skill, but single skill is not to get out of the way and not be hit directly by the enemy. In the second world, whether it is a single attack by a player or a monster, there will be a damage judgment range around the attack. As long as it is still within this judgment range, even if it is not directly hit to the body, it will still be judged as hit by the system, resulting in damage. However, it is certain that not directly hit, but within the judgment range, there will definitely be no critical strike damage.
In the game, the range of judgment for each skill attack is usually different. In close combat, if you can familiarize yourself with the range of judgment for every skill of your opponent, it will give you a great advantage. However, to completely avoid it requires players to have high agility and extremely high combat awareness. This is where agile players excel.
Before the attack arrives, completely jump out of the opponent's skill judgment range. In the game, this is called complete evasion, which means that the opponent's attack completely misses. The dodge rate generated by agility attribute only takes effect when hit. When the dodge rate works and allows players to avoid attacks, a MISS message will appear, but complete evasion will not give any indication.
The range of BOSS skills is generally large. Xiao Hua didn't think much, and quickly jumped to the side with agility, letting the mutated slime's collision go empty-handed. It was fortunate that he was in the agile class, allowing his body to keep up with his thoughts, otherwise he would have had to take it hard. With his current low defense and anemic body, he could only withstand four attacks from the mutated slime before being sent back to the new player village.
Jumping to one side, Xiao Hua suddenly saw a red dot on the side of the mutated slime. He then remembered that the identification technique had been successfully used and the God's Eye skill was activated, revealing a critical hit point on the boss.
A critical hit is equivalent to three times the attack. Seeing this, an idea popped up in Xiao Hua's mind.
Xiao Hua used the stealth skill without hesitation, and his body disappeared in front of the mutated slime instantly.
Stealth (Master): Blend your shadow into the surrounding environment, making enemies unable to detect your whereabouts. In this state, character defense is reduced by 50%, next attack increases by 110%, and movement speed increases by 25%. The state lasts for 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 5 minutes. After the state disappears, you cannot use this skill again within 30 seconds.
The combination of critical strike and stealth attack is equivalent to four times the attack! At least there's a 50% chance, it depends on his luck.

The mutated slime suddenly lost sight of Xiao Hua and began to frantically search for him on the grass, feeling that this guy who had killed it eight times would not leave so easily!
Creeping quietly close to the mutated slime, Xiao Hua raised his dagger and stabbed it fiercely at the red dot on the mutated slime's body!
-210!
A huge purple number floated above the mutated slime, this was a sign of critical hit!
Success! Finally, I can make this big guy hurt.
Xiao Hua was delighted, and his figure also appeared with the attack. After being injured, the mutated slime became furious, and its fat body jumped up suddenly, leaping several meters high, pressing down fiercely from above Xiao Hua's head!
This is undoubtedly a new skill that the giant slime does not have. Xiao Hua dare not slack off, and quickly jumped to the side several steps.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the mutated slime body fell to the ground. Xiao Hua felt as if the earth was shaking, and his movements slowed down instantly!
He was not injured, but his attack speed and movement speed were instantly reduced!
This is a wide range of negative status skill, Xiao Hua has never seen before. He was caught by it for the first time he met.
The mutated slime, seeing Xiao Hua hit, did not hesitate to charge with a collision.
In this state, speed is greatly reduced and it's impossible to completely dodge. However, Xiao Hua still struggled to move sideways, at least avoiding a critical hit.
Hit! - 50!
Xiao Hua's head floated a red number, indicating ordinary damage. He now has only 170 HP, so if there is a critical hit, he might have a little blood left, but if not, he will be instantly killed!
After this blow, Xiao Hua's condition returned to normal and he hurriedly swallowed a bottle of mini life recovery agent. Even without a critical hit, his blood would not last long. (Mini Life Recovery Agent: restores 10 HP per second for 15 seconds.)
The identification skill has a cooldown of one minute, and the stealth skill even has a five-minute cooldown. It's still early for the cooldown to end. In desperation, Xiao Hua slashed with a dagger at the mutated slime.
—0! The result of not breaking through the defense.
Although normal attacks hitting mutated slime can also have a chance of critical hits, according to the experience from the internal test, if normal attacks that break defenses appear twice as critical hits out of ten times, then without breaking defenses, the chance of critical hits will decrease by ten times, and fifty times may not even result in one critical hit! This is the absolute defense law that is famous in the second world!
Xiao Hua was not willing to give up and kept hacking for more than ten times, but he did not get a critical hit once. He finally gave up completely.
There was no other way, so he could only wait for the cooldown time to end. Meanwhile, Xiao Hua prayed that the HP recovery speed of the mutated slime would not be too high.
Cautiously defending against the attacks of the mutated slime, he was not afraid of being hit. The cooldown time for that powerful attack seemed to be around thirty seconds, and there would be obvious signs on the mutated slime when it was about to use the move. In the next second, after the second impact, Xiao Hua moved his feet lightly and easily dodged it completely with preparation.
One minute passed, Xiao Hua threw out the identification spell again. The identification spell was successful, and this time the red dot appeared in front of the mutated slime's body.
One dagger goes up! -0! No critical hit!
A big 0 floated from the head of the mutant slime. Xiao Hua saw it and burst into tears. His heart was breaking.
Patience, wait another minute, and throw a detection spell again!
HP5000!
Sister's chest! It recovered to full health in two minutes, and it even fought a bear!
Xiao Hua was speechless. It's impossible to fight head-on, but an elite boss is right in front of him. Xiao Hua doesn't want to leave just like that. After all, before level 20, bosses were nothing more than vegetables for players; after level 20, players became vegetables for bosses.
After level 20, forget about elite bosses; even ordinary bosses are a challenge. A classic combination of a team of priests, tank knights, warriors, and wizards who can both withstand and recover damage with output is still possible to take down if coordinated well. However, if coordination goes slightly awry, it's game over! It could be years before he gets another chance to single-handedly face an elite boss.
After a while of hard grinding, when the skill of theft cooled down, Xiao Hua habitually threw a theft spell at the mutated slime.
System prompt: You have obtained the slime king's leather armor (undetected).
Slime King's leather armor? What is that? I'm so lucky!
His stealing skills are now at the master level, with a 20% success rate of stealing monsters, and the other party is a full-blooded elite BOSS, which cannot be said to have reached the extreme. Anyone who has played thieves knows that whether the target is a player or a monster, the success rate of theft is greatly reduced in the state of full blood.
Xiao Hua looked again and saw that the leather armor on the mutated slime across from him was gone, having been stripped off by him!
Unable to hold back, Xiao Hua slashed with a dagger!
