Chapter 27 Green Python, Double Arrows Fired
Charles didn't stop his attack just because Alan switched weapons. He leaped up, reaching the same height as Alan.
Immediately, he unleashed a rapid combination of punches on Alan.
[-915.]
[-899.]
[-932.]
A series of damage numbers appeared above Alan's head.
Just as Alan was about to hit the ground, the old drunkard grabbed him by the collar and slammed him into the ground.
The ground cracked!
[-1858.]
Another massive damage number appeared.
Alan's health bar dropped by a third from this series of attacks.
At this moment, he rolled to the side to get away.
Despite being in the newbie village for so long, this was the first time he had been beaten so badly.
During the roll, he switched weapons, and the moment he landed, he fired an arrow.
Charles' combat skills were no joke, and his precision in skill execution was remarkable.
If he didn't take this seriously, he could really die at Charles' hands.
With this in mind, Alan's arrow once again pierced through the air.
Arrows flew continuously, each one aimed at a tricky angle.
Every arrow he shot was aimed at the old drunkard's eyes.
Charles naturally noticed this and somehow produced a wine jug to continuously block Alan's arrows.
"Is hiding all you can do?" Alan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he drew his bowstring with two fingers.
Two energy arrows appeared on the longbow.
Double arrows fired!
This was also a combat technique.
Double arrows fired could easily lose accuracy, but this was not a problem for Alan.
With his superb archery skills, his attacks became increasingly sharp.
The advantage of double arrows fired was not to increase the hit rate but to prevent the opponent from easily deflecting the arrows with simple blocks.
As long as Alan had an opportunity, he could perform an aerial combo.
"Now's the time!"
The old drunkard was caught off guard and destabilized by Alan's arrows.
Alan seized this fleeting opportunity and used the Twisting String Arrow Technique, the massive impact of which caused the old drunkard to be briefly airborne.
Immediately following, Alan kept him airborne!
The old drunkard wanted to come down, but it was clearly impossible.
However, Alan underestimated the old drunkard's resilience.
He took advantage of a brief gap in Alan's attacks to chug a mouthful of strong liquor.
Afterward, a mist of alcohol enveloped his body.
[You are affected by the alcohol mist; reaction speed decreased by 20%, and attack speed decreased by 20%.]
Alan frowned but continued his attacks.
This minor effect wasn't enough to disrupt his aerial combo rhythm.
"My turn now." The old drunkard threw his wine jug again.
Having been blown away by it before, Alan wasn't going to fall for the same trick.
An arrow struck the wine jug, knocking it away.
With a loud bang, the powerful impact caused Alan to stagger.
However, it didn't cause much damage.
The old drunkard used this opportunity to land on the ground and slapped the wine jug.
A large snake emerged from the jug.
The snake was entirely green and charged at Alan.
[Green Python (Black Iron): Level 10.]
[Health: 125980/125980.]
[Attack Power: 412.]
[Skills: Constriction, Poison Arrow, Snake Tail Whip, Poison Mist, Red Eye Beam.]
Alan's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect such a formidable creature to come out of the old drunkard's wine jug.
Although surprised, Alan's attacks didn't slow down, and he shot at the green python.
[-1321.]
Alan's damage was getting higher, but this green python was also very formidable.
The moment they met, the green python unleashed its Red Eye Beam.
Alan immediately rolled to dodge, but the Red Eye Beam chased right after him.
Ultimately, due to insufficient movement speed, Alan was hit by the Red Eye Beam.
[-1528.]
Alan frowned and immediately counterattacked.
But before his arrows could reach it, the green python opened its massive mouth and roared at him.
At the same time, poison mist spewed from the green python's mouth.
This area-of-effect poison mist attack made it impossible for Alan to dodge by simply moving away.
[-426.]
[-426.]
[-426.]
In the poison mist, Alan began to lose health continuously, and the rate of health loss was astonishing.
As long as he stayed in the poison mist, his health would keep dropping.
Without a healer and lacking any detoxification skills, Alan could only endure it.
Alan began a frenzied counterattack, unleashing a barrage of arrows.
All the arrows flew towards the snake's weak points.
But in the next moment, Alan sensed danger and rolled away without hesitation.
Just as he rolled away, the old drunkard appeared in his previous position.
Seeing that Alan had dodged his attack, the old drunkard wasn't too surprised. He swung his wine jug down at Alan's head.
Alan had no chance to counterattack and could only stagger away from their attacks.
With a loud crash, the wine jug smashed a large crater into the ground.
After narrowly avoiding the old drunkard's attack, Alan was hit by the green python's tail whip.
[-1352.]
Alan was sent flying by the massive snake tail, losing over a thousand health points again.
Just as Alan landed, his arrows were already flying out.
Once again, it was a double arrow shot, but this time, it was even more challenging.
Alan had to simultaneously attack the fast-moving green python and Charles.
Both were bosses, and their damage numbers were formidable.
Alan's eyes sharpened as his health continuously dropped.
Eye of Purity fully activated.
He could see everything around him in meticulous detail.
Arrows pierced through the air.
Alan's precision with double arrows was equally astonishing.
Each arrow carried an unstoppable force.
Although the impact wasn't as strong as the Twisting String Arrow Technique, the attack frequency was much higher.
The advantage of the Twisting String Arrow Technique was its high damage, strong impact, and penetration.
Double arrows fired—or even more arrows at once—had the advantage of hitting multiple targets.
The downside was reduced damage.
But if double arrows fired were combined with the Continuous Arrow Technique, the effect would be entirely different.
The Continuous Arrow Technique involved continuously attacking the same target, which was one of the simplest archery techniques.
However, when combined with double arrows fired, the effect was entirely different.
Alan used arrows to suppress two bosses simultaneously.
If others saw this, they would be utterly astonished.
But Alan was doing it with ease.
Earlier, he didn't understand the old drunkard's skills and suffered a bit.
But now, the old drunkard's tricks were completely ineffective against Alan.
As soon as the old drunkard made any move to use his skills, Alan's arrows would precisely interrupt him.
Next, it was a gamble—a gamble that the old drunkard didn't have Super Armor and Rage skills.
As long as he didn't have these two skills, Alan could use absolute suppression to wear down both the old drunkard and the green python.
