Chapter 38: One-Shot Kill, Another One-Shot Kill!
At the center of the swamp fishmen’s territory, in front of the largest wooden hut, the fishman lord was throwing a tantrum.
A series of incomprehensible sounds came from the fishman lord’s toothy mouth, directed at its elite and advanced fishmen.
Soon, two terrified elite fishmen and over twenty advanced fishmen quickly readied their weapons and headed in the direction from which Su Bai and the worker ants were approaching.
It was clear.
Su Bai’s massacre had caused many swamp fishmen to disappear, inciting the fishman lord’s rage.
After the two elite fishmen and over twenty advanced fishmen left, the defensive force around the fishman lord weakened slightly. However, relative to the overall strength of the swamp fishmen, those who left were insignificant.
But Su Bai didn’t care at all.
He used to be very weak, and when facing Gorg and his guards, he had to resort to luring them away and defeating them one by one.
Now, Su Bai didn’t need that.
Having undergone five evolutions and several attribute template advancements, he had the strength to confront and kill the level 25 fishman lord head-on!
Utilizing the shadows cast by trees and wooden huts, and the abandoned debris left by the fishmen, Su Bai concealed himself and swiftly approached the fishman lord.
The passive effect of Shadow Assault was still in play, and Su Bai managed to reach the largest hut from the edge of the fishmen’s territory without being noticed by a single fishman.
Until he was just over ten meters away from the fishman lord.
“Shadow Assault!” Su Bai actively canceled the stealth effect of Shadow Assault. At this moment, his speed doubled!
His tall figure, holding the Demon Insect Lance, sprang out from behind the hut and charged toward the fishman lord at lightning speed!
“¥@%!”
“Enemy attack!”
“Protect the king!”
Perhaps by chance, or perhaps because the swamp fishmen were more vigilant than goblins.
As Su Bai leaped from the shadows towards the fishman lord, a warrior-class fishman rover happened to see him and blocked his path.
The nearly three-meter-tall fishman rover was even more robust than Gorg.
Wearing a crude armor made of colorful coral and wielding a massive rusty anchor, the fishman rover’s huge frame made Su Bai’s seem insignificant.
It seemed… with the fishman rover’s appearance, Su Bai’s ambush had failed.
However, instead of panic, Su Bai’s eyes revealed a mocking smile.
His speed increased instead of decreased, and he swung the Demon Insect Lance like a giant hammer towards the fishman rover!
“Bloodthirsty Berserk!”
With the double agility boost from Shadow Assault, the fivefold strength damage boost, and the 50% physical damage boost and 45 attack speed boost from Bloodthirsty Berserk, Su Bai’s attack reached an extreme level of power!
Boom!
A muffled explosion sounded, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
[Ding! You killed a fishman rover, gaining 3500 experience points.]
With just one strike, Su Bai not only killed the fishman rover, but its massive body and heavy coral armor also exploded into countless pieces!
At this moment, Su Bai was already standing in front of the fishman lord.
The level 22 warrior-class fishman rover hadn’t even been able to delay Su Bai for a second!
“Ice Shield!”
“Ice Arrow!”
“Frost Nova!”
“Venom Spell!”
“Corrosion Spell!”
With the brief delay provided by the fishman rover, the fishman lord and the remaining swamp fishmen finally reacted. The other two fishman rovers quickly rushed towards Su Bai, while the elite fishman spellcasters cast spells targeting Su Bai.
The fishman lord, Su Bai’s main target, also cast an Ice Shield on itself.
But… it was too late!
Ignoring the barrage of spells hitting him, Su Bai leaped forward, appearing in front of the fishman lord.
Before the fishman lord could cast its second spell, the raised Demon Insect Lance descended like a divine thunderbolt!
The sharp blade of the Demon Insect Lance pierced the ice-blue shield.
Crack!
A crisp shattering sound rang out.
The dual-purpose defensive and slowing Ice Shield shattered.
In the fishman lord’s terrified gaze, Su Bai swung the Demon Insect Lance again. A fierce black streak flashed, and a huge head flew through the air, landing dozens of meters away.
[Ding! You killed a fishman lord, gaining 15000 experience points and 5 soul points.]
[You have killed a fishman lord of a higher level, possessing a lord attribute template. You have gained the attribute template of the fishman lord.]
As the system notification sounded, Su Bai dodged the attacks of the two fishman rovers, collected the fishman lord’s corpse and its dropped equipment into his storage space, and then leaped out of the encirclement of swamp fishmen, quickly disappearing into the sparse woods.
With the lord template and the fishman lord’s corpse and equipment in hand, there was no need to waste any more time here.
The remaining two fishman rovers and numerous elite and advanced fishmen could serve as stepping stones for the Devouring Ants.
The next target was the Venom Wyvern!
