When George saw the bear, no, the golden-haired rat, he became nervous.
He quickly used the appraisal skill.
Golden Rat King: Level 10, the overlord in the mine. Since occupying the mine, he regards it as his own territory. He has a cruel personality, extremely high defense, extremely strong attack, and average agility.
Golden Rat King? This was the boss in the game!
George did not expect to encounter the boss so soon. In ordinary games, the boss was more powerful and dangerous than ordinary monsters. However, players all flock to the boss because, after the boss was killed, usually a lot of good loot will be dropped. Some things that were difficult to get from ordinary monsters could also be dropped by the boss.
Therefore, in ordinary games, players would fight each other for a boss. If it was a top boss, there may even be a war between guilds.
However, this was not an ordinary game world, and no one was competing with George. However, looking at the opponent's size and the fact that it was a level ten, and then looking at himself, who was still a level two, George's knees were a little weak.
The level difference between the two sides was too big.
The colourful evil tiger previously was also a level ten, which left a deep impression on George. If he hadn't used a trap, it would have been impossible for him to kill it. But in this case, the Golden Rat King obviously wouldn't give George the time to slowly dig a trap.
It was just as George thought. After he used the appraisal skill, the golden-haired rat king, who was originally just glaring, immediately rushed towards him. With its huge size, the ground shook as it ran, and debris kept falling inside the mine.
George quickly took out the medicine shovel and was on guard, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
He soon discovered that this golden-haired rat king was indeed as agile as the skill described. At least, it was slightly slower than the ordinary golden-haired rats. This made George, who had originally planned to escape, think deeply.
Perhaps, there was hope to kill it?
This was the first boss George encountered in this world. If he could, he didn't want to give up. After all, in ordinary games, killing bosses would reveal good things. It should be possible here too.
Thinking of this, George gave up the idea of escape and prepared to give it a try. The worst possible outcome was death. No matter how real this place was, it was still a game world. Even death did not mean real death and this gave George a lot of confidence.
"Squeak!"
When the golden-haired rat king ran towards George, it roared. Although it was still similar to the cry of a mouse, the sound was much higher than that of other ordinary golden-haired rats. The huge sound echoed throughout the mine and the reverberation caused the gravel above him to fall faster.
"Is this place going to collapse?" George felt slightly worried.
However, it was not the time to think about this. The golden-haired rat king had already rushed in front of him. George swung the medicine shovel, and the golden-haired rat king also swung its front paw fiercely. The two collided and George instantly felt a jolt. His entire arm became sore and he could hardly hold the medicine shovel in his hand. His own blood volume had also dropped by one-third.
"Holy shit! What tremendous strength!" George's face was full of horror.
He felt as if he had hit on a boulder. His arms were sore from the shock, and his legs were so shaken that he took several steps back. However, the huge golden-haired rat king did not move at all, as if it was a rock. The look it gave George was full of disdain, as if it was laughing at George's overestimation of his abilities.
Although George was angry deep down, he also knew that he was indeed no match for the golden-haired rat king in terms of strength alone.
It seems that if he wanted to kill it, he could only find a way from its weaknesses.
The only weakness it had was its agility. Its huge size gave it great strength, but it also limited part of its agility.
Seeing that George was not killed by the blow, the golden-haired rat king roared angrily and charged towards him again.
George was on full alert. When the golden-haired rat king rushed in front of him, he kicked his feet hard and jumped high up. The properties of the Liuyun Boots on his feet that enhanced his jumping ability were also revealed.
The golden-haired rat king rushed past George's feet, but was unable to hit him.
However, before George had time to be happy, he heard a "bump" and his head hit the roof of the mine, knocking down some gravel. His head felt dizzy and his blood volume also decreased again.
The mine was only over two meters high. George jumped too high up and hit the roof of the mine.
George had just landed but the golden-haired rat king had already changed direction and rushed towards him again. George quickly endured the pain and jumped up again. This time, he controlled his strength to make himself higher than the golden-haired rat king, but took care to not hit the top of the mine. Moreover, when the golden-haired rat king ran past George, he bent over and smacked it hard with the medicine shovel in his hand.
However, although this shovel seemed powerful, it was not even able to break the golden-haired rat king's defense, and naturally, did not cause any harm to it as well.
Although the golden-haired rat king was not harmed, in its point of view, George's behaviour was an insult to it. Hence, when it looked at George again, its gaze became even more bloodthirsty and furious, as if it was wishing to tear him into pieces.
"How can I kill it if I can't even break its defence?" George was also troubled at this time.
Although he had the help of Liuyun Boots, which allowed him to jump high up and avoid the attack of the golden-haired rat king, he still couldn't hurt it. In this way, neither side could do anything to the other. For him, it was obvious that it wouldn't work out.
When George was thinking of a way to harm the golden-haired rat king, it rushed towards him again. George subconsciously jumped up. However, this time, it suddenly stood up like a human being when it was right under George. This way, it was much taller than before. It slapped its paw hard on George's leg, knocking him away.
"Bang!"
George hit the roof of the mine again, but this time it was involuntary, and then he hit the ground hard. His abdomen hurt, and it was as if his internal organs were out of place. The pain was unbearable, and his blood volume had reduced to less than one-third.
This golden-haired rat king was so cunning!
George frowned and endured the agony. He felt a little desperate as he watched the golden-haired rat king charging towards him again.
Was he going to die here? !
