After briefly reviewing the BOSS’s attributes, Chen Mo couldn’t help but think, This BOSS, which should have been quite strong, actually looks rather weak to me now. I wonder if I’ve just become too strong.
A Level 20 BOSS, even a first-transition golden-grade one, would only have a life value of around 700 million and an attack power of just over 7,000.
With its current attributes, this creature was undoubtedly formidable for a Level 20 BOSS. Especially since it was surrounded by the ocean, allowing it to stably utilize its full attributes. Factoring in its aquatic bonuses, this BOSS’s strength was terrifyingly high.
If it were the old me, I too would have been helpless against such a BOSS.
Firstly, the enemy was immune to status effects. Secondly, it had a consistent 99% damage reduction. While in water, this creature could also regenerate 100% of its Life and Energy per second, and its attributes were increased tenfold.
The combination of these strengths was indeed formidable.
But for the current me, this BOSS truly isn’t much of a challenge.
Furthermore, unlike other BOSSes he had faced, this one didn’t have a repertoire of ninety-nine skills just because its skill list might suggest that number. Instead, this BOSS’s active abilities stemmed from its passive skills.
If I sealed its Chaotic Water passive skill, it wouldn’t even be able to use any skills at all. Dealing with it would be incredibly easy.
Moreover, even if the opponent was immune to status effects, preventing debuffs from being applied, Chen Mo didn’t need to stack corpse poison to kill it.
I could just summon a horde of Skeleton Monsters to overwhelm and destroy it. Even its 99% damage reduction would be useless.
Before the BOSS even appeared, Chen Mo was already applying divine stealth to his summons while spawning Skeleton Monsters.
Due to the enhancement of his skill effects, the upper limit for summoning Skeleton Monsters was now higher, but it was also harder to reach this limit. After all, the current maximum summoning multiplier he could achieve was 400x. The probability of achieving this multiplier was 1 in 400. Getting it once in ten minutes of summoning would be considered good.
So, Chen Mo wasn’t too greedy. He summoned casually for a while and stopped when he reached a hundredfold multiplier.
With a hundredfold multiplier, he could summon 400,000 Skeleton Monsters. These 400,000 Skeleton Monsters could trigger two stages of rallying effects, which, combined with Undying Worship and the Amplification Divine Ring, meant each Skeleton Monster’s attack power could reach 3.22 million.
With 400,000 Skeleton Monsters, one round of combined attack would deal 1,288 billion damage.
Even if the opponent had a passive skill making it immune to critical hits in water and a Demonization Talent reducing all damage by 99%, the Skeleton Monsters’ combined attack could still reduce the BOSS’s total Life by at least 12.8 billion.
The BOSS only had a total of 10 billion Life to begin with. It couldn’t even withstand one round of combined attacks and would be instantly killed.
It’s almost too easy.
While Chen Mo was spawning Skeleton Monsters, a sailor from the ship suddenly approached him, seemingly preparing to say something.
Chen Mo guessed it was probably some information to help reduce the dungeon’s difficulty, but he didn’t need it anymore.
"I heard there’s a sea monster in this area. Do you know when it might appear?" Chen Mo asked before the sailor had a chance to speak.
"I’m not sure. It appears sometimes and not others. It mainly depends on the luck of those passing by," the sailor said, then looking at Chen Mo, added, "By the way, Brave Sir, the Captain said he has something to discuss with you..."
"The captain?"
Looking at the serene sea around him, unsure of when the sea monster would appear, Chen Mo decided to go to the captain’s cabin first.
This period before the sea monster appears is probably the Heavenly Dao giving me time to find ways to counter it.
Chen Mo was a bit exasperated. I don’t want this. Just send the sea monster out so I can kill it and be done with it. Kill it early, clock off early. This dragging on and on, who knows when the sea monster will finally appear?
Arriving at the captain’s cabin, Chen Mo saw books scattered everywhere on the floor. A bearded captain was sitting in a chair, drinking strong liquor while flipping through an unknown book.
"Captain, I heard you wanted to see me?" Chen Mo scanned the room and asked.
"Ah, you’ve come at the right time, Brave Sir! Look, this book writes about rumors of the sea monster... We invited you here precisely to have a strong protector in case the sea monster appears. But since you mentioned before that you weren’t very familiar with the sea monster, I searched for some related records. This book here has very detailed accounts. Take a look."
Taking the book offered enthusiastically by the captain, Chen Mo quickly skimmed through it.
Indeed, the book detailed many things related to the sea monster: how to weaken its abilities, how to protect oneself and reduce the damage it inflicts, and even how to lure it onto the ship to negate its powerful abilities in water.
However, implementing these methods was not easy.
Chen Mo flipped through a few pages and lost interest.
However, just as he was about to return the book to the captain, he suddenly saw content on how to lure the sea monster out.
This is the most interesting part of the whole book for me. I don’t know when this sea monster will appear anyway; I might as well lure it out directly.
[Unnamed Notes: ...The sea monster is extremely fond of Rot Wine, brewed from Rot Fruits. Never drink this wine on deck, and absolutely do not pour this wine into the sea, otherwise it will certainly attract the sea monster. Remember this, remember this!]
"Alright, got it." Chen Mo smiled and closed the book after seeing the last part.
"Do you have a photographic memory, Brave Sir? You’ve memorized it so quickly?" The captain thought Chen Mo was talking to him.
Seeing this, Chen Mo responded with a smile, "Captain, do we have any Rot Wine aboard this ship?"
"Yes, we do. This wine is a favorite among the sailors, so of course we brought it. But rest assured, Brave Sir, to prevent luring out the sea monster, I’ve strictly forbidden them from drinking it on deck. They can only drink it in their rooms with the doors closed."
"Is that so? Then I’m relieved. But where is this wine kept? I’ll go take a look to prevent any oversights."
"It’s in the sailors’ cabin near the stern."
"Great."
With that, Chen Mo exited the captain’s cabin and walked directly to the sailors’ room at the stern.
Pushing the door open and scanning the room, Chen Mo saw the crate of Rot Wine in the sailors’ room. He immediately picked up a bottle and walked to the railing outside.
"So you like this? I’ll pour the whole bottle for you."
Chen Mo opened the cap and poured the entire bottle of Rot Wine directly into the ocean. Finally, he even threw the bottle in.
After doing this, he quietly waited.
One second passed, two seconds, three seconds... the sea surface remained as calm as ever.
I poured a whole bottle in; how come there’s still no reaction?
Just as Chen Mo was starting to doubt whether the book he read earlier was accurate, a bizarre, giant whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea surface around them.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mo immediately grinned, "It’s finally here!"
Following the whirlpool’s appearance was a strange fellow with octopus legs and a black cloak covering its upper body.
Chen Mo sensed it; this fellow was the so-called great sea monster of this dungeon, Boros!
Looking closely, Boros’s body wasn’t very large, about the same as a normal human. It was just that the octopus tentacles on his lower body looked somewhat terrifying, with at least dozens of them densely packed.
"I’m in a good mood today. Offer up all your Rot Wine, and I’ll let you leave," Boros said directly to Chen Mo after emerging from the water.
Chen Mo was stunned. So easy to talk to? If I hand it over, he’ll let us pass? Then how do I complete my quest? Could it be considering that I might not be able to defeat it, so it’s giving me a chance to go to land, find treasure, and come back?
Although the other party was easy to talk to, Chen Mo had no intention of saying more. After confirming the opponent’s identity, Chen Mo immediately issued an attack command to the surrounding Skeleton Monsters!
