Chapter 27: Chapter 27: The Azure Patterned Serpent, Twin Arrows Fired!
The old drunkard didn't stop just because Lin Tianhao switched weapons. He leaped into the air, reaching the same height as Lin Tianhao.
Then, he unleashed a swift series of punches on Lin Tianhao.
-915.
-899.
-932.
…
A string of damage numbers appeared above Lin Tianhao's head.
Just as Lin Tianhao was about to land, the old drunkard grabbed his collar and slammed him into the ground.
Bang!
The ground cracked!
-1858.
Another huge damage number appeared.
Lin Tianhao's health dropped by a third from this series of attacks.
He quickly rolled to the side.
Having been in the novice village for so long, this was the first time he had been beaten so badly.
Whoosh!
He switched weapons mid-roll, and the moment he landed, he shot an arrow.
The old drunkard's combat skills were not simple, and his skill execution was very precise.
If Lin Tianhao didn't take him seriously, he might actually be defeated.
Thinking this, Lin Tianhao's arrows continued to fly.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows flew out continuously, each arrow's trajectory extremely tricky.
Every arrow was aimed at the old drunkard's eyes.
The old drunkard naturally saw this and conjured another wine gourd, using it to block Lin Tianhao's arrows.
"Are you only capable of hiding?"
Lin Tianhao's gaze narrowed slightly, and he drew back the bowstring with two fingers.
Two energy arrows appeared on the longbow.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Twin arrows fired simultaneously!
This was also a combat technique.
Firing two arrows at once easily reduced accuracy, but this was not a problem for Lin Tianhao.
With his superb archery, Lin Tianhao's attacks became increasingly sharp.
The advantage of firing twin arrows was not to increase hit rate, but to prevent the opponent from easily deflecting the arrows with simple blocks.
As long as Lin Tianhao had an opportunity, he could execute an aerial combo.
"Now!"
The old drunkard was momentarily thrown off balance by Lin Tianhao's arrows.
Lin Tianhao seized this fleeting opportunity and used the Stringing Arrow Technique. The enormous impact briefly launched the old drunkard into the air.
And then, he kept him airborne!
It was clearly impossible for the old drunkard to land.
However.
Lin Tianhao had also underestimated the old drunkard's resilience.
He seized a brief pause in Lin Tianhao's attacks and gulped down a mouthful of strong liquor.
Then, his body was enveloped in alcoholic fumes.
"Ding, you are affected by the alcoholic fumes. Reaction speed decreased by 20%, attack speed decreased by 20%."
Lin Tianhao frowned, but continued his attacks.
This slight effect wasn't enough to disrupt his aerial combo rhythm.
"My turn."
The old drunkard threw the wine gourd again.
Having learned from being blown away before, Lin Tianhao would never make the same mistake.
Whoosh!
The arrow hit the wine gourd, knocking it away.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the powerful impact staggered Lin Tianhao.
However, it didn't cause much damage.
The old drunkard used this opportunity to land. He tapped the wine gourd.
A large snake crawled out of it.
The snake was entirely azure and charged towards Lin Tianhao.
Azure Patterned Serpent (Black Iron): Level 10
Health: /
Attack: 412
Skills: Entanglement, Poison Arrow, Dragon Tail Sweep, Poison Mist, Red-Eye Ray.
Lin Tianhao's expression changed slightly. The old drunkard's wine gourd actually contained such a huge creature.
Although surprised, Lin Tianhao didn't hesitate in his attacks and shot at the Azure Patterned Serpent.
-1321.
Lin Tianhao's damage was getting higher and higher, but the Azure Patterned Serpent was no pushover.
It immediately used Red-Eye Ray.
Lin Tianhao immediately rolled to dodge, but the Red-Eye Ray chased after him.
Due to insufficient movement speed, Lin Tianhao was still hit by the Red-Eye Ray.
-1528.
Lin Tianhao frowned and immediately counterattacked.
But as his arrow was in mid-air, the Azure Patterned Serpent opened its bloody mouth and roared at him.
At the same time, poison mist spewed out of the Azure Patterned Serpent's mouth.
This area-of-effect poison mist attack was impossible for Lin Tianhao to avoid by positioning.
-426.
-426.
-426.
…
In the poison mist, Lin Tianhao began to lose health continuously, and the rate of health loss was terrifying.
As long as he was in the poison mist, his health would continuously decrease.
Without a priest, and without any detoxification skills himself, Lin Tianhao could only endure it.
Whoosh!
Lin Tianhao began a furious counterattack, arrows raining down.
Hit the snake at its vitals!
Every one of Lin Tianhao's arrows was aimed at the Azure Patterned Serpent's weak point.
But the next moment, Lin Tianhao sensed danger. He didn't dare to stay and rolled away.
Just as he dodged, the old drunkard appeared where he had just been.
Seeing that Lin Tianhao had avoided his attack, the old drunkard wasn't too surprised. He swung the wine gourd down at Lin Tianhao.
Lin Tianhao had no chance to counterattack and could only stagger to avoid their attacks.
Boom!
With a loud bang.
The wine gourd actually created a large pit in the ground.
As Lin Tianhao narrowly avoided the old drunkard's attack, the Azure Patterned Serpent's Dragon Tail Sweep arrived.
Bang!
-1352.
Lin Tianhao was sent flying by the huge snake tail, losing another thousand health points.
Just as he landed, the arrows in Lin Tianhao's hand had already flown out.
It was still twin arrows fired simultaneously, but this time it was even more difficult.
Because Lin Tianhao had to simultaneously attack the fast-moving Azure Patterned Serpent and the old drunkard.
Both were bosses, and their damage values were extremely high.
Looking at his constantly decreasing health, Lin Tianhao's gaze sharpened.
The Eye of Purity was fully activated.
Everything around him was seen in meticulous detail.
Whoosh!
The arrow tore through the air.
The accuracy of Lin Tianhao's twin arrows was equally astonishing.
Every arrow carried an unparalleled power.
Although the impact wasn't as strong as the Stringing Arrow Technique, the attack frequency was faster.
The advantage of the Stringing Arrow Technique was high damage, stronger impact, and penetration.
The advantage of twin arrows, or even more arrows fired simultaneously, was that they could hit multiple targets.
The disadvantage was reduced damage.
But if twin arrows were combined with the Rapid Fire Technique, the effect would be completely different.
The Rapid Fire Technique referred to continuously attacking the same target, which was the simplest of archery techniques.
But if the Rapid Fire Technique was combined with twin arrows, the resulting effect would be entirely different.
One person, relying on arrows, simultaneously suppressed two bosses.
If anyone else saw this, they would be dumbfounded.
But Lin Tianhao was doing it with ease.
He had suffered a bit because he didn't understand the old drunkard's skills before.
But now, the old drunkard's tricks were completely useless in front of Lin Tianhao.
As long as he made the movements to use those skills, Lin Tianhao's arrows would accurately interrupt them.
The next step was to gamble, to gamble that the old drunkard didn't have the skills of Super Armor or Berserk.
As long as he didn't have these two skills, Lin Tianhao could use this absolute suppression to wear down the old drunkard and the Azure Patterned Serpent.
