Kapitel 35: Cat Dad’s Solo-Hunting Strategy

Chapter 35 – Cat Dad's Solo-Hunting Strategy

Mama Warden stopped howling and stood there, observing the reaction of Slave One and Xiaomao.

Meanwhile, Slave One's face was ashen as he realized what the Mama Warden had done. He glanced at his master, wondering what he might do in this situation.

Xiaomao ignored the commotion and loaded an explosive bolt on his crossbow. He fired toward the crowd and caused another explosion, dwindling the number of mobs.

"Change of plans, munya! Buff yourself and stand between me and that werewolf. If you see an opportunity, go back to the first floor and wait for me! I'm going to solo this floor, munya."

Slave One snapped back to his senses. He glared at Mama Warden and raised his weapon. While he was at it, he shot a water bullet at her.

Mama Warden sneered and swatted the water droplet like it was nothing. A small number, 33, appeared over her head, showing that her magic defense was abnormally high.

But as Mama Warden was about to charge at Slave One, a barbed bolt slipped through the joint of her leather armor and stuck into her shoulder.

72!

Again, the damage was insignificant. With the staggering 40,000 HP and higher defense than average elite monsters at the same level, Mama Warden simply ignored the damage.

Mama Warden only glanced at the bolt. She snapped it, but she didn't pull it out.

Xiaomao clicked his tongue. The monster even paid attention to the bleeding effect of the barged arrowhead and chose not to pull it out like the other gnolls.

ROAR

More gnolls flocked to the narrow passage of the prison. They barked and fought to get in the hallway first.

Fortunately, the entrance passage could only fit two gnolls at once. As a result, only one or two gnolls could enter at a time before they could sprint toward Xiaomao and Slave One's current location.

While loading another bolt to his crossbow, Xiaomao opened his inventory menu and ejected a dozen raw meat, which he had obtained from the other gnolls. He tossed them toward the crowd of monsters and fired an explosive bolt at them.

BOOM

The explosion caused several pieces of raw meat to be slightly cooked and scattered throughout the hallway along with a few gnolls.

The medium-rare dog meat released an odd scent. The noses of the gnolls in the room twitched as they sniffed, checking where the delicious scent came from.

Xiaomao added another thing to the mix. He tossed a large tuna toward the group of gnolls.

The eyes of the hungry hyena-men became round as they were attracted to the fishy smell. One of them jumped up and caught it with his mouth.

But the other gnolls also acted like rabid dogs. They barked and lunged toward the lucky gnoll, fighting for a piece of raw food. The other monsters also swarmed at them, hoping for food as well.

Chaos ensued as the gnolls shifted their attention to food and meat nearby. Although it was cannibalism, they ate barely cooked gnoll steaks as if they had never eaten anything for ages.

Mama Warden furrowed her brow. She stopped moving forward and stared at Xiaomao with a complex expression on her face.

Xiaomao suddenly turned around and wiggled a large tuna. Then, he tossed it to the ground next to him.

As if being offended, Mama Warden barked in anger and lunged at Xiaomao.

Xiaomao widened his eyes. He jumped to the wall and kicked it, second-jumping toward the ceiling. His tentacles latched onto the bumpy rocks and hung his head upside down.

The ceiling was 10 meters above the ground. As Xiaomao's body was light, his strength and the nimbleness as a cat helped him a lot.

BOOM

Mama Warden missed the target. She looked up, barking at Xiaomao.

"NOW, GO BACK TO THE FIRST FLOOR, MUNYA!"

As Mama Warden left the stairs, the way toward the exit was clear.

Slave One ran up the stairs. However, he didn't go up to the ground floor.

Instead, he waited at the last platform in front of a transparent curtain of energy, which separated the dungeon floors. Slave One turned around and shot a water bullet at the Mama Warden.

The bullet hit Mama Warden, but she ignored it. She looked up, glaring at Xiaomao.

Then, she crouched, getting ready to jump and catch the cat.

Xiaomao suddenly thought of Nathan Drake and looked around. Noticing the stalactites, he jumped from the ceiling toward the nearest icicle-shaped rock.

At that moment, Mama Warden jumped up.

However, as the warden had aimed at Xiaomao's previous spot, her strong claws hit nothing. She fell back to the ground.

Xiaomao's four back tentacles caught the stalactite. His front four tentacles adjusted his crossbow and fired a barbed bolt at her.

The projectile hit her upper shoulder. Again, Mama Warden snapped the bolt in half, preventing herself from bleeding. She crouched and aimed at Xiaomao again.

Slave One fired another magic bullet at her while she wasn't paying attention to him.

Mama Warden glanced at Slave One in frustration. She clicked her tongue and looked up, planning to catch Xiaomao first.

But Xiaomao had disappeared from the previous location!

Mama Warden looked around, sniffing and searching for Xiaomao.

But as Mama Warden scanned the ceiling, a dozen tuna dropped from the ceiling as Xiaomao threw them as decoys. The newly arrived gnolls were instantly attracted to the smell of fish and fought each other for a piece of food.

She finally spotted Xiaomao after she tracked where the fish came from. She found him hanging on one of the stalactites, closer to the entrance passage of the prison hallway.

Mama Warden pursued. She leaped over the hungry gnolls and used their heads as a foothold.

But then, Xiaomao fired an explosive round at the gnoll below her.

BOOM

The explosion knocked and scattered the mobs. The werewolf also stumbled and fell to the crowd of gnolls as her footholds fell to the ground.

As Mama Warden fell to the ground, the new-coming robotic gnolls pushed and shoved others, stepping on her and fighting for fish.

Before Mama Warden got up, Xiaomao tossed another small fish toward the crowd and fired another explosive ammo toward the place, where Mama Warden had fallen.

BOOM

While dealing damages to the mobs, Xiaomao took his time to deplete her HP. She suffered from the explosion damage while the other normal monsters were injured.

Mama Warden tried to get up, but the weight of several gnolls pressed her down. Several of the confused mobs collapsed and fell on top of her body after the explosion, and they struggled to get up by pressing her body down.

The werewolf was vexed. She looked up and was about to command her subordinates.

But a barbed bolt came out of nowhere and pierced the joint behind her kneecap.

Xiaomao laughed and aimed at the body parts of Mama Warden, which were sticking out of the crowded mob. He patiently switched between explosive and barbed bolt, depending on the opening and opportunity.

Mama Warden grumbled and ignored the pain. She shoved the gnoll on top of her and managed to raise her head a bit.

But as too many gnolls were packed in the narrow corridor of the prison hallway, one of them kicked the shaft of the bolt, which had recently stuck in between the werewolf's knee joint.

As soon as the barbed arrowhead was pulled out by an accident, Xiaomao received a game notification.

Ding

Unlike other games where status effects could wear off by themselves, Pangu Online 2 gave a realistic experience to players and monsters.

If any monster and player suffered from a "Bleeding" abnormal status, their HP would slowly decrease, depending on the amount of blood that they had lost, and a bloody clock icon would appear.

The clock represented the total blood of the injured player or monster. It pointed at 12 at first, but it continued to tick clockwise whenever the injured player or monster's blood decreased by a certain amount. A deep wound drastically accelerated the speed of the timer, but a shallow wound barely moved the clock.

By chance, if the clock's needle made a full circle, the player or the monster with this clock icon over their head would die!

In this case, as long as the Bleeding effect persisted, Mama Warden would suffer 1 damage every second. However, the crimson clock icon on top of her head didn't move forward as the blood loss from the wound was insignificant.

Xiaomao grinned. He looked for a gap and fired another barbed bolt. This time, he found another opening and fired another shot. It hit the back of her neck, where the leather armor didn't cover.

Then, Xiaomao tossed gnoll meat toward the Mama Warden, attracting more hungry gnolls toward her direction.

As Xiaomao had planned, they packed in front of the prison corridor passageway, stomping on their boss. Then, one of them kicked the bolt's shaft, causing the barbed arrowhead to cut deeper into her flesh.

Mama Warden howled in pain.

Ding

Bleeding Level 1 dealt only one damage per second. Level two doubled the DPS while level three doubled the amount of damage of the previous level.

Now, Mama Warden suffered 4 damage every second because of the bleeding. Moreover, the crimson clock's needle ticked clockwise once.

59 more clicks and Mama Warden would bleed out and die!

Xiaomao laughed as he watched the helpless prey below him. He sent another explosive bolt to the crowd, taking him time to grind and decreasing the boss' HP.
