Chapter 268: Tiger Shark King
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The ocean was the largest, most mysterious, and bountiful territory. In the real world, human technology also developed very rapidly, but humanity was still unable to completely explore the ocean.
The New Age was similar, as countless secrets were hidden within it. Lin Jie was reborn, but his knowledge of the ocean was far from the degree of “transparent”, at most what he knew was just superficial.
Crying Bay, a region that had not been explored before, even in his previous life. As for Naga Island, it had never even been heard of before, so this ocean area was also unknown. Thus, there would definitely be plenty of treasures.
“It should not be far.” Lin Jie took a closer look and at the bottom of the pitch-black ocean. There was a very obscure light that was revealed due to the moonlight. The light was very subtle, but with Lin Jie’s eye power, it was not difficult to see that.
In the ocean, the players’ movement speed was extremely slow, even with the help of Naga’s Trident, Lin Jie still spent almost ten minutes to move closer to the treasure chest. However, there was no mission monster spawned in the surroundings, which made Lin Jie exclaim that his luck was not bad.
‘It’s near!’
The light that was pure white like the moon shone from the depths and jumped around in front of Lin Jie, dazzling to one’s eye like an Elf in a moonlit night. Lin Jie carefully cleared the silt, and a corner of the treasure chest was exposed—Gradeless Treasure Chest! It was actually a Gradeless Treasure Chest!
It was at the surroundings of the Town of Meyer’s Spirited Lake of the Undead when Lin Jie had activated the first Gradeless Treasure Chest, and it had given him a super high-level item, Feather Drop Gem, which he is still using till now. Meanwhile, now, he finally encountered the second one!
Thinking back carefully, with Lin Jie’s swimming speed, he still spent almost ten minutes to be able to sink down to that position. If it was a normal person, then most probably he would need to surface to breath after a few minutes, unless he also had high-level [Proficient Underwater Battling].
This treasure chest was also hidden very secretly, so if one were to follow the normal flow of the game, then, most probably, it would only be obtained by players at least two years later. Also, that person must also be able to find Naga Island.
Lin Jie rubbed his hand excitedly. “Come on, baby... F*ck...”
Zeng!
Cold gleams shot from all sides, ten light rays, like bright silver great swords, appeared from afar. The surrounding seawater violently surged up, like spirals or maybe one’s guts, as if it was going to pull Lin Jie in! Lin Jie took a closer look, how were those silver swords! They were obviously a shark’s teeth!
Identify!
Lin Jie stayed calm in the hour of peril. There was quite the number of plate armor exclusively for Paladins in his backpack, and he just wore them all. Within the punishments of equipping other jobs’ equipment, Movement Speed reduced by 300%, and one’s load and weight would increase by 150% was included. Lin Jie’s body instantly became heavy and sank towards the bottom!
Splash, splash—
The water vapor on top of his head was like hitting a drum, which shook him up until he was in a trance. At the same time, the monster’s attributes were also revealed.
[Tiger Shark King] (Gold Overlord Boss)
Level: 40
Health Points: 400,000
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAttack: 678-900
Defense: 150
Armor Ignore: Skin of Tiger Shark (Your attack has 11% chance of being deflected), Tiger Shark’s Sharp Teeth (70% Armor Ignore), Tiger Shark Devour (When your Health Points are below 70%, there are chances of being killed instantly)
Note: The Tiger Shark King of the deep sea is a ferocious beast that has attacked countless of merchant ships and is the predator of the ocean with the title of the Sailors’ Nightmare. Its teeth can easily pierce through decks and armors. Also, the smell of your blood will further excite its actions. At the same time, the Tiger Shark King is a living creature that pays great emphasis on one’s territory, so if you leave its territory quickly, it might let you go.
“Overlord!” Lin Jie was surprised and elated—surprised that he had actually encountered an Overlord in the wild! Overlord Bosses mostly appeared within dungeons, and the reason was very simple; the maps of the dungeon were normally not very big, and the Boss was the leader.
What was an Overlord? An entity with countless underlings and a harem, which dwelt 3,000 ladies fair, that was an Overlord! When players met monsters, which were Overlords, as default, they would presume it had an additional skill to summon underlings.
No wonder in this place there was no other Tiger Sharks, it turned out it was the territory of the big boss! Realization dawned upon Lin Jie, and his Trident was placed in front of his chest, aimed right at the Boss’ sharp tooth that was gleaming with cold light.
Kill!
Besides killing, there was no other choice!
By killing it, not only could Lin Jie obtain the experience points and loots of a Gold Boss, but he could also activate the Gradeless Treasure Chest. Such a huge benefit was before him, luring him. Even if he had to be badly battered in the fight, he also had to kill!
Ang—
The Tiger Shark King let out a fierce roar. Its body may be enormous, but its agility could be compared to a monkey swimming in the sea. Thus, its speed could even be compared to leopards. It flung its fishtail, and its body charged towards Lin Jie vigorously like a battleship at full speed!
“Feather Drop!” Lin Jie instantly took off his plate armor and activated Feather Drop, which made his weight as light as a feather. The movements of the Tiger Shark King’s attack was too huge, which made the water flow extremely rapidly and pushed Lin Jie away.
Shield Cut! Army Obliteration!
When Lin Jie’s attack landed on the back of the Tiger Shark King, there was a strange feeling from his hand. It was as if he had attacked a slippery loach, and his attacked was diverted, landing at the side.
Attack Deflection!
-1,565!
-1,602!
-1,594!
-3,000!
Shield Cut was canceled out, but the damage from the attack of Army Obliteration was real and solid. The effects of Naga’s Trident were still very powerful, even if it faced an Overlord, the damage which was dealt was also quite high!
The severe pain made Tiger Shark King tremble all over, and fresh blood flowed continuously.
As a Gold Boss, all living creatures had their dignity. Hence, Tiger Shark King let out sound waves, which spread through the sea. In the next instant, Lin Jie saw up to 100 sharks swimming from the distance, rapidly nearing Lin Jie.
‘Despicable, shameless!’ Lin Jie scolded in his heart. ‘Being a formidable Gold Overlord Tiger Shark King, a Boss where one of its teeth is already one head higher than me, it actually summoned underlings immediately. Does it even still have a sense of shame?’
About that... Of course not. It would be an idiot if it had underlings but not call them. With so many Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks around, if the Tiger Shark King still did not call a few underlings to come, then, wouldn’t the word Overlord be just there for show?
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Within the pitch black seawater, near a hundred pairs of eyes were staring at Lin Jie deadly—the cold gleams nearly made that area of the sea catch a cold. Lin Jie instantly felt his heart turning cold from nervousness.
Burg...
Lin Jie habitually swallowed, but the saltiness of the seawater nearly killed him.
Ang—
Tiger Shark King gave an order, and the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark underlings charged towards Lin Jie as if they were all in the mating period. Their huge mouth swallowed the seawater as if wanting to devour Lin Jie too!
It was a fight to the death in the deep sea!
Lin Jie activated Blood Power and then stored the Trident back into his backpack. In the end, that weapon was still not handy enough to use. Although its attributes were very strong, in such a battle, he still needed to rely on his two swords that were like the extensions of his left and right arms! Two cold gleams were in his hands, Broken Blade and Thunderbolt Sword almost let out sounds of bloodthirstiness!
“Flame Boost!”
Boom—
The incomplete blade of Broken Blade burst into roaring flames. Burning flames in the sea were really defying the law of physics, but Broken Blade was just able to do it! It was as if the long blade in flames was giving off scorching hot light rays, from top to bottom. Lin Jie slashed the head of a Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark!
-1,019!
Indeed, Broken Blade’s damage could not be compared to that super awesome and incredible Epic weapon Naga’s Trident. However, when Lin Jie waved his Broken Blade, there was the exhilaration of being able to do as he wished—that was the chemistry of fighting side by side for these few years!
Wanting to control one’s body movements in the sea really just relied on one’s swimming techniques, but Lin Jie’s four limbs did not move; instead, the equipment on his body changed back and forth. Sometimes he would wear plate armor, sometimes he would change back to his original clothes, and his position would also follow by moving up and down. He actually was able to escape the powerful attacks by the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks.
However, Tiger Shark King, that Gold Overlord Boss did not have any intervals between attacks. How big was a Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark? It was as big as a house, and only four to five of them were needed to sandwich Lin Jie, where was there space left for the Tiger Shark King? Lin Jie just nicely made use of that and made Tiger Shark King, the Boss with the highest attack be stuck outside. Simultaneously, Flame Boost and Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner were aimed at Tiger Shark King, attacking continuously, which made that king furious as its health bar was gradually decreasing.
“Hahahaha...” The more Lin Jie killed, the more excited he felt. Killing sharks in the deep sea, how many people could accomplish such a feat?
Suddenly, Lin Jie’s line of sight turned pitch black.
Lin Jie looked for trouble himself for becoming too highly conceited from success. As Lin Jie eas distracted, a shark actually swallowed him into its mouth, and its sharp teeth were planning to bite down!
Tssss—
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFresh blood flew everywhere, but it was not Lin Jie’s blood... it was the shark’s! In its huge mouth, Lin Jie had placed the Naga’s Trident upright firmly, causing the shark to be unable to close its mouth at all. The severe pain made that shark start to crazily twist its body as if it was in a frenzy.
Lin Jie hurriedly gulped down a potion to recover his health, and his eyes lit up.
‘Isn’t it the best timing to use AOE magic with so many Tiger Sharks around?’
Earlier, he had no time to channel in the battle. However, now, he had! He was in the mouth of the shark, so the other sharks shouldn’t be able to stick their teeth in there, right?
“Thunderstorm!” Lin Jie was calm and composed. The obscure spell shocked the surroundings, and occasionally spark-like fluorescent light could be seen.
Sizzle—
The lightning in the surroundings suddenly flashed in a fleeting moment.
-1,192!
-1,173!
-1,127!
...
Sizzle—
-1,028!
-1,093!
...
As the thunder flickered more and more frequently, waves of damage values popped up and almost filled the sea! When Thunderstorm’s preparation channeling time ended, all the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks’ health bars were less than half. As for Tiger Shark King’s health bar, it was only left with 70%. Tiger Shark King crazily rammed into that poor shark, trying to directly bite Lin Jie out and eat him.
Lin Jie grinned and said syllabus by syllabus, “Thun-der-storm!”
The ocean instantly turned into a snake cave where countless of distorted lightning snakes crawled out from it and bit onto the Tiger Sharks. The Nagas on Naga Island even came out to watch in surprise. That region of the sea had silver light flashing vigorously and accelerated, becoming quicker and quicker, one’s eyes couldn’t even blink faster than that.
Boom—
When a bolt of lightning struck down, the Tiger Shark, which Lin Jie hid in died and the Tiger Sharks surrounding him flipped upside down, showing their bellies. Only Tiger Shark King had endured with a body that seemed almost roasted, but it was seriously injured and in critical condition.
Tiger Shark King’s health points were less than 20,000! When Lin Jie was about to charge towards it and end it, who would have expected Tiger Shark King to withdraw its body? Then silver light shot at Lin Jie rapidly like lightning!
When that silver light neared, Lin Jie then discerned it. Based on its looks, it was a shark fin! Tiger Shark King had actually used its shark fin as a weapon to shoot towards Lin Jie!
Lin Jie took a look at its health points, which were below 100, and then took a look at the approaching shark fin. His pupils constricted.
