[Current Execute Probability: 3.11%.]

"Whew... Let's call it a day.

Who would've thought I'd trigger two executes in just an hour!

This probability seems legit, unlike certain other games..."

With a sigh of relief, Su Nian regained his stamina.

After all, it's a hyper-realistic VRMMO.

Even though his real body remained still,

Playing for a long time in the game still brought a sense of real fatigue.

Su Nian opened the map, searching based on his past life's memories.

"Rock Cavern, this is it!"

After marking the location, he set off immediately.

Leaving the protected area of the Beginner Village meant players could attack each other, and dying would result in dropping gear and levels.

Even though he had nothing on him,

It's always better to be cautious in dangerous places!

***

In no time, Su Nian reached his destination.

It was a massive open-air cavern.

To take down the Rock Behemoth inside, the first step was to climb this nearly ten-meter-high steep rock wall!

And that's just the beginning!

Once you exhaust your stamina climbing up,

Players would enter the Rock Behemoth's alert range!

Then, waves of earth spikes would surge towards you!

Without team cooperation, the difficulty of soloing the BOSS is imaginable!

"Whew... Time to test my skills!"

After regaining his composure, Su Nian took a deep breath and began climbing the rock wall with both hands and feet.

A distance of over ten meters,

For Su Nian, who had cleared countless dungeons and explored numerous perilous terrains in his past life, was nothing.

Thus, in less than half a minute,

Su Nian swiftly reached the top of the rock wall.

Looking down from there,

Su Nian immediately spotted the territory's center, a massive stone giant standing five to six meters tall, with thick, sturdy limbs made entirely of rocks!

[Rock Behemoth: LV15]

[Type: BOSS]

[HP: 34800/34800]

[Attack: 235]

[Skills: Frenzy, Super Armor, Rock Spike, Rock Shockwave, Rock Summon.]

"Tsk tsk... That attack power, one hit and I'm done!"

Gazing at the info panel, Su Nian barely had time to sigh before a sudden whooshing sound filled the air!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A dense barrage of earth spikes shot towards him!

Su Nian's eyes sharpened, his muscles tensed!

Just a second before the spikes hit him,

His body moved like a phantom, dodging back and forth on the rock wall!

With such extreme maneuvering,

Each spike narrowly missed his body, a slight misstep would mean starting over!

Wave after wave of spikes,

Lasted a full five seconds!

During this time, despite Su Nian's superb skills,

The sheer density of the spikes.

Still managed to leave a tear on his Priest Robe...

"This new character's speed is still a bit slow, compared to the speed of my level 80+ character from the past life... It's a bit hard to adjust."

Glancing at the tear on his sleeve, Su Nian quickly slid down the rock wall during the brief cooldown of the Rock Behemoth's next spike attack!

As long as he landed, the Rock Behemoth wouldn't use the spike skill.

And with the casting speed of the Rock Behemoth's other skills, he could easily predict and perfectly dodge them!

"Roar!" A deep roar erupted from the Rock Behemoth's mouth.

Just as Su Nian landed, a new wave of spikes formed on the Rock Behemoth's surface, rapidly covering his face!

"Damn, is this even possible?"

Su Nian quickly steadied himself, calming his mind.

His eyes swiftly tracked each incoming spike, his body instinctively twisting!

This combat instinct, honed from countless life-and-death battles with alien races in his past life, was no joke!

If it were in reality, Su Nian might not stand a chance against a top-tier soldier.

But in the game...

He could only say: "Bro, you still need more practice!"

Soon, as Su Nian dodged the last spike,

He looked at the Rock Behemoth slowly approaching like a turtle, a crooked grin forming on his lips.

"Your skills are on cooldown...

Now it's my turn to have some fun, right?"

With that thought, a blue light flashed in Su Nian's hand, and the Priest Scepter appeared!

"I attack!"

[-15.]

[Talent not triggered, Execute Probability +0.01%.]

[Current Execute Probability: 3.12%.]

Rock Behemoth: "???"

Your aura is spot on!

I thought doom was upon me!

But your basic attack damage...

Hmm... It's not even worthy of a massage!

[+100.]

Watching the health regeneration above the behemoth's head, Su Nian's mouth twitched: "This BOSS fight is really frustrating!"

While feeling bitter inside,

He didn't stop relentlessly attacking the Rock Behemoth!

Frustrating as it was,

Who said luck wasn't a factor?

Before the talent triggers, you might be arrogant.

After it triggers, your fate is uncertain!

[-17.]

[-15.]

[-15.]

"Roar?"

The Rock Behemoth watched the player swinging the scepter and jumping around.

It plopped down on the ground,

Its wise-looking head filled with question marks.

Is this player crazy?

Why not level up instead of picking a fight with me?

Trying to solo me with that damage?

If you can solo me with that damage,

I'll...

[-34000.]

Su Nian pouted: "The BOSS drops are really lame this time, huh?

But with the Lord's Heart as a backup, it's still acceptable."
