Chapter 224 Two-Headed Blood-Patterned Crocodile!
SnowflakeChaser gave a nod. "No problem."
Ambrose pulled out a massive chunk of rotten meat, and the air instantly reeked.
SnowflakeChaser covered her nose, but Alan stayed cool, just slightly wrinkling his brow. He'd seen worse in his past life.
The meat was bait for the two-headed blood-striped crocodile. What disgusted humans often attracted monsters.
Ambrose was taken aback by Alan's calmness. For Alan, this was just another day.
Ambrose said seriously, "Get ready. The two-headed blood-striped crocodile is nearby. It should be on its way after catching a whiff of this rotten meat."
Alan didn't seem to care. Ambrose, a third-time job change gold level, had brought along archers and shield warriors of the same rank.
Facing a fourth-time job change gold level two-headed blood-striped crocodile was naturally intimidating.
Suddenly, Alan had a realization.
A fourth-time job change two-headed blood-striped crocodile? That didn't sound like a wild monster or boss.
In his past life, such terms were usually used for pets. Alan had recently been dealing with second, third, and even fourth-time job change experts, so he was used to the terminology.
But now, as they were about to fight, it hit him. Ambrose might have slipped up earlier. This two-headed blood-striped crocodile was most likely not a wild boss but someone's pet. Only then did Ambrose's term make sense.
But who in this chaotic land was powerful enough to have a fourth-time job change gold level boss as a pet?
Among the two other fourth-time job change platinum level experts in the chaotic land, was one of them a summoner?
As Alan pondered, two massive rocks on the sea surface rapidly approached. Alan activated the Eye of Purity and saw they weren't rocks but two crocodile heads emerging from the water.
[Two-headed Blood-Striped Crocodile (Fourth-Time Job Change Gold): Level 209.]
[Health: 98 million/98 million.]
[Attack: 115,800.]
[Skills: ???]
Alan's eyes narrowed. With nearly a billion health points, this creature was indeed formidable.
Normally, a level 210 gold boss would have around 60 million health points. Secret realms, dungeons, and mutations could push this higher, but this was different.
From this health value alone, Alan could tell it was likely a pet. Pets could surpass normal values significantly and had a distinct advantage over wild monsters: they could wear equipment. While rare, pet equipment wasn't unheard of.
"Don't rush, wait until it gets closer to attack."
Ambrose held his breath, worried about any unexpected events in such a lopsided battle.
The two-headed blood-striped crocodile lumbered toward the shore, its massive body looming like a small hill in front of Alan and the crew.
As soon as it hit the shore, the left head snapped its bloody jaws around the rotten meat. Not to be outdone, the right head also chomped down while the left head was still chewing.
"Now."
The archer next to Ambrose was the first to react.
His arrow hit its mark, dealing 18,905 damage. Alan knew this was just the beginning.
But with the crocodile's nearly hundred million health points, that damage was a drop in the bucket.
With an attack speed of 8.0 per second, the archer was dishing out 150,000 damage per second, and critical hits would push it even higher.
The two-headed blood-striped crocodile roared, its massive tail swinging. Old Burke planted his golden shield, but the tail shattered the energy barrier and sent him flying, taking 135,870 damage.
A huge fireball hit the crocodile's head, landing a magic critical hit and dealing 12,110 damage, followed by a burn effect causing 500 damage per tick.
SnowflakeChaser's high luck allowed her to land the critical hit despite the level suppression, and her burn damage was a rare fixed true damage.
Amidst the chaos, Ambrose charged forward, engaging the beast head-on.
"Looks like I have to step in."
Alan raised his ghostly longbow.
The damage output was disappointingly low. One attack dealing over ten thousand damage meant the fight would drag on forever.
Alan's arrows rained down, each hit dealing 691,314 damage. With forty arrows per second, he was dealing over 27 million damage per second to the two-headed blood-striped crocodile.
"This..."
They were all in disbelief at Alan's damage. SnowflakeChaser had some idea of Alan's capabilities, but she was still shocked. She had estimated his damage per second to be in the millions, but that was just a fraction of his actual output.
The nearly billion health points of the two-headed blood-striped crocodile couldn't withstand Alan's attacks for even four seconds. Frightened, the crocodile roared, turned around, and both heads sucked in seawater, instantly recovering 20 million health points.
Despite this powerful healing skill, the crocodile had no intention of fighting and frantically rushed towards the ocean.
Ambrose roared, "Stop it."
His body turned into a blur, blocking the two-headed blood-striped crocodile's path.
The two-headed blood-striped crocodile spat out frost, freezing Ambrose instantly.
