A strange golden halo flows against the surface of the basilisk, forcing its huge body weighing hundreds of tons to slowly shrink and twist.
The twelve heads of the basilisk howled in pain at the same time, struggling desperately, but unable to change the fate controlled by magic, and eventually turned into a ball of chickens the size of a fist, like a ball of fluff.
The "Malicious Transformation Technique" completely changed the twelve-headed basilisk's physique at the cellular and even genetic levels. Not only did it look like a fragile chicken, but it also lost its racial talent of being immune to fire damage.
The little chicken screamed and fell into the lava lake. In an instant, it was submerged in the lava and scalded to death.
Gao Fei confirmed that the B-level mission "Hunting the Twelve-Headed Flame Basilisk" had been completed, closed the astrolabe task bar, and smiled at the angry classmate Pony Ma.
"Good luck."
This is just a polite comment pretending to be humble.
In fact, before casting the spell, he transferred all 13 points of free attributes to charm, plus "Eagle Majesty", which increased the charm attribute to 36, and the spell saving difficulty was as high as 29. If the twelve-headed basilisk could still withstand it
If you can survive, that’s just bad luck!
Easily kill the twelve-headed basilisk with challenge level 13, and Gao Fei gained 10,000 experience points.
The highlight is the B-level mission reward - 4 astrolabe energy, 30,000 experience points, and 1,000 special service points!
Gao Fei spent the points he had just received before he could warm them up. After all, this thing does not accrue interest in his hands. Spend it early and enjoy it early.
1,000 points, more or less, can be exchanged for 10 million in cash, a 6-ring magic scroll, an A-level profession, a mid-level magic weapon, or an A-level expertise.
Gao Fei compared the list of prizes and felt that redeeming them for expertise was the most cost-effective.
There are a lot of A-level specialties, but unfortunately most of them require the acquisition of prerequisite specialties first, and some even have strict requirements for occupations and attributes.
Gao Fei didn't have much to choose from, so he read the list from beginning to end, and the one he liked most was definitely "last, first".
…
Last Strike, First Come (Prerequisite: Tooth for Tooth): At the moment when the opponent is about to launch a melee attack, spend a reaction action to catch the opponent off guard and counterattack first.
…
Judging from the literal description, "attack first" actually means to advance the counterattack before the enemy launches an attack, and then strike first, and then it is the opponent's turn to attack. If you can kill the opponent instantly, the opponent will have no chance to attack again.
.
If it's just a preemptive interception, "Later Strike and Preemption" is not outstanding among all A-level specialties. Gao Fei pays more attention to another detail - when launching an interception, the opponent is equivalent to being "unprepared".
If you think about it carefully, this makes sense.
When the opponent focuses all their energy on how to attack, they will inevitably relax in defense. If they are unexpectedly attacked preemptively, they will indeed feel at a loss.
Targets in the "unprepared" state cannot dodge in time when attacked and lose the agility bonus to defense.
More importantly, attacking an unprepared target can bring in sneak attack effects.
Goofy's exclusive professions "Magic Thief" and "Imitator" both have sneak attack capabilities.
Even "Dragon Warriors" who do not have sneak attack skills themselves can be blessed with the 2-level magic "Discover Life Gate" and temporarily obtain 5d6 sneak attack special effects.
It can be said that many of Gao Fei's tactics are built around "sneak attack".
He did not hesitate to spend 1,000 points to exchange for "preemptive strike", mainly because he could use the "sneak attack" special effect when he wanted to counterattack first.
Take the "Spell Thief" as an example. Level 10 comes with a 5d6 sneak attack. Coupled with the "Discover Life Gate", the sneak attack damage is as high as 10d6!
When the opponent tries to attack Gao Fei, he must first suffer a "last strike first", a counterattack plus a sneak attack. Opponents below the boss level will almost be instantly killed by his counterattack!
The level 7 "Imulator" puts on the "Mask of the Thief" and is blessed with "Discovering Fate Gate". The sneak attack roll is 8d6. At first glance, it may not look as good as the "Spell Thief", but Gao Fei can also wear the "Mask of the Magician" and get it in the future. When using the high-level magic "Hungry Demon Blade", you can strike twice with one counterattack, and each sword can bring in 8d6 sneak attack special effects. Isn't this even more terrifying?!
On the basis of "preemptive strike", Gao Fei can further enrich this tactical system of "preemptive strike".
For example, if you acquire the high-level specialty "Spell Counterattack", you can use melee magic such as "Electric Claw" and "Vampire Touch" to replace weapons and launch a counterattack. Together with the legendary specialty "Universal Sneak Attack", you can also bring in sneak attack special effects. .
There is also a high-level specialty called "Remote Opportunity". After learning it, you can use long-range weapons to make attacks of opportunity.
This means that when the enemy moves within the range of Goofy's pistol, he can fire and intercept immediately, inflicting additional sneak attack damage!
"It seems that we need to complete a few more B-level tasks and get all the required expertise as soon as possible."
Gao Fei suddenly felt that he had a goal and was full of energy.
Switch to the personal status page, open the free expertise column, Gao Fei removes the "Dual Wielder" and replaces it with the "Preemptive Strike" he just obtained.
Gao Fei's main profession "Tiangong Special Police" has already reached level 20. According to the wishes of his boss and Dr. Vader, if he wants to break through the bottleneck and enter the legendary realm, he has to find a way out on his own. Tiangong's "cramming" upgrade system has this problem Nothing can be done.
Since there is no way to reach the legendary realm for the time being, there is no point in accumulating too much experience points. It is better to directly upgrade whatever sub-professional you like to increase your immediate combat power.
With this in mind, Gao Fei burned 36,000 experience points in one breath to upgrade the "Spell Thief" from level 10 to level 12.
After upgrading two levels in a row, the sneak attack damage increases to 6d6, and he learns "Listen to the Wind to Identify Positions" and the killer weapon of the thieves profession, "Ghost Strike".
In addition, Gao Fei also has two more slots for stealing spells, which makes his hands feel a little itchy.
The hostile creatures currently appearing in the volcanic area, such as fire demon bats, earth worms and basilisks, do not have the ability to cast spells. Gao Fei cannot take advantage of the enemies, so he naturally targets his teammates.
Opening the "Eye of Insight" and secretly peeking at Ma Yun's spell list, Gao Fei's lips curved into a Mona Lisa-like smile.
"Rich man, do you still need to use the 4-level 'Armor-breaking Curse' and 'Advanced Enemy Defeat Machine' you prepared today?"
"There are no monsters with particularly high defense in this volcanic area. I can't use these two spells for the time being."
Xiao Ma was concentrating on controlling an activated lava giant to fight with the seven-headed basilisk. When he heard Gao Fei's question, he answered truthfully without much thought.
"Brother Fei, what do you want to do by asking about this?"
