185: Chapter 185 I was just bluffing, I didn't actually resurrect you.
In the hall, the HP of the Mutated White Wild Boar lying on the ground had inexplicably refilled.
The three of them looked at each other, none of them knowing what on earth was going on.
How could the BOSS they had worked so hard for ages to kill achieve Resurrection just like players? Did this BOSS also carry a revival coin in its pocket?
Tang Yao had never played games and naturally had never fought a BOSS, so she did not know how many times a typical BOSS should be fought. However, seeing the reactions of Hu Gualing and Xiao Niao, she guessed that this Mutated White Wild Boar achieving Resurrection after death was clearly abnormal. "Do we have to fight it again?" Tang Yao asked with a bitter face. She had been slapped to death once by the Mutated White Wild Boar before finally winning, and now that she had just caught her breath, she had to fight again; naturally, she was not in a good mood.
"Fight... we definitely have to fight." Hu Gualing had witnessed with his own eyes the Mutated White Wild Boar's HP refill while it lay on the ground. Looking down at himself, he was covered in euphorbia humifusa juice, but since it took time for the euphorbia humifusa to take effect, his HP had only recovered to 40 points. Comparing the two, Hu Gualing could not help but swallow hard. However, not wanting to weaken the team's Aura at this moment, he found a reason to console them: "I reckon this BOSS's special mechanism is Resurrection, but we do not need to worry too much. Usually, in these situations, the BOSS's strength decreases after Resurrection, like a reduction in health, so it should be much easier to deal with than before."
Just as he mentioned health, Xiao Niao remembered the Detection skill he had just comprehended. He narrowed his eyes and stared closely at the Mutated White Wild Boar for a few blinks. He saw the Mutated White Wild Boar's HP bar, which had been hidden after refilling, reappear. Unlike before, the exact HP was clearly displayed on the bar: HP 700/700.
Looking at this number, Xiao Niao understood that the Detection skill he had just comprehended was indeed effective, but his mood did not improve at all. "I think... I'm afraid this BOSS's HP hasn't decreased; it's still 700 HP," Xiao Niao said with an ugly expression.
Hu Gualing said with a look of surprise: "700 HP?"
Although they could not see the exact HP of this Mutated White Wild Boar before, they had roughly estimated it to be around 600 or 700 HP based on each hit. Now that Xiao Niao said it had 700 HP, did that not mean... "Achieved Resurrection at full health?" Hu Gualing could not help but swallow hard again as he spoke.
Tang Yao sighed helplessly, moved her wrist, took the longsword out of her backpack, and held it in her hand. "Then we'll just fight it again. But I've never fought a BOSS before; how many times does a BOSS like this usually achieve Resurrection? It won't be able to achieve Resurrection again after we kill it this time, right?" Tang Yao asked with a naive look while holding her longsword.
Hearing her ask this, Hu Gualing was suddenly unsure and did not know how to answer. "This... it's hard to say." Usually, for a BOSS with a Resurrection mechanism, even if it could achieve Resurrection, it definitely would not be at full state. It would either achieve Resurrection once or twice just for show, or its max HP would decrease each time it achieved Resurrection until it could not decrease anymore and it would finally collapse and be unable to get up. But this Mutated White Wild Boar's HP was actually the same as before after Resurrection, and even a gaming veteran like Hu Gualing could not judge it at all.
However, since they had already fought for so long and put in so much effort, paying the price of Tang Yao achieving Resurrection once and Hu Gualing himself being covered in wounds with only a sliver of health left just to take one life off the BOSS, it was impossible to give up at this moment. Regardless of whether this Mutated White Wild Boar could achieve Resurrection again after this time, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the raid.
Hu Gualing gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how many times it can achieve Resurrection, there must be a limit. Since we were able to kill it the first time, then the second time, the third time, it definitely will not be a problem!" As he said this, Hu Gualing gained some confidence himself, clenched his fists, and said: "Moreover, we already have experience and know the BOSS's weakness, so fighting it again will definitely be much easier."
Tang Yao nodded: "Understood, I will try my best to attack its weak spots."
Xiao Niao raised the old wooden bow in his hand, which had no string, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. "I'm afraid I still can't participate in the battle with everyone; I can only watch from the back. However, if you unfortunately sacrifice and consume revival coins, I will cover half of all of them!" Xiao Niao put away his wooden bow and said with a solemn vow.
As soon as these words were spoken, both Hu Gualing and Tang Yao were slightly stunned.
Especially Hu Gualing, who was closer to Xiao Niao; he knew that Xiao Niao was the type of rich guy in other games, but in this game, besides Tang Yao, where would there be any rich guys? The game points in Xiao Niao's hand were the same as his, only those points obtained for free by reaching the online time duration. Furthermore, Xiao Niao had entered the game for a shorter time than him, so he was afraid that the game points on hand were even fewer than his. How did he suddenly become so generous?
Just as Hu Gualing was about to say something, he saw the corpse of the Mutated White Wild Boar lying on the ground starting to move slightly. "Prepare for battle!" Hu Gualing said with a stern look.
As soon as his voice fell, he stood up from the ground, but at this moment his HP had not even recovered to half, and his injured body was far from recovered. Whether physically or mentally, he was far from as relaxed as he appeared.
Tang Yao squeezed the sword hilt in her hand and looked at the corpse of the Mutated White Wild Boar—perhaps it could no longer be called a corpse, because this guy had achieved Resurrection at full health and was slowly using its pig hands and pig feet to support the ground and climb up from the ground. Tang Yao watched, having prepared herself mentally to face the upcoming battle.
Xiao Niao also consciously and quietly stood at the very back, ensuring he would not enter the BOSS's attack range and cause trouble for Gualing and Tang Yao.
"Hmph—snort—" [ Vibrant Mutant White Boar ] supported its body by Using Hands and Feet Simultaneously and slowly climbed up. Suddenly, it raised its two pig hands and pushed off the ground with its two pig feet. Its entire body, which was three or four meters tall, shot up, restoring it to the upright standing posture Hu Gualing and the other two had seen when they first encountered it. After letting out a high-pitched cry from its pig mouth, the Mutated White Wild Boar twisted its massive pig head and waved its two pig hands. It was unknown if it was warming up its body or demonstrating from a high position to the three people who had just defeated it. Regardless, it did not look weak from having died once; instead, it felt like it had endless energy.
Hu Gualing gripped his steel knuckle duster tightly and walked expressionlessly toward the Mutated White Wild Boar, but his heart was filled with trepidation. Fighting tooth and nail with this Mutated White Wild Boar before had already made him feel as painful as if he had peeled a layer of skin. Although during the few short minutes he sat down to rest earlier, he had expressed with lingering interest that he wanted to fight the Mutated White Wild Boar again, that was just him bragging after the fact; he didn't actually mean for this Mutated White Wild Boar to really achieve Resurrection!
Moreover, even though they knew the Mutated White Wild Boar's weakness, they did not know how it achieved Resurrection. Was it triggered by some condition? Or was its own mechanism simply Resurrection? How many times could it achieve Resurrection? Without figuring this out, Hu Gualing felt like he was facing a guy with an infinite HP bar, and he really had no confidence in his heart.
