[Introduction: A special crab from the Sea Country. Most of the elements in its body are hard steel, and it will become harder as it grows. However, because the steel in its body is too heavy, its movements are slow and its endurance is consumed quickly, making it unsuitable for long-term travel.]
…
The Iron Crab, also known as the Bang Bang Crab, is one of the main forces of the Ocean Gou Team. It has extremely high physical defense and is specialized in dealing with physical attack type enemies.
Its instantaneous burst damage is not high. From now on, there is only one skill called "Pliers Clamp". The rest are all skills that continuously consume blood, such as the bleeding effect of "Pliers Stab" and the "Mercury Infusion" that will be learned later.
Combined with its "barb" passive, it can effectively target large creatures, firmly hang on to the opponent, and continuously consume the opponent's health.
Although it does not consume much blood, it is disgusting and makes the hung creature angry and humiliated, and then attacks it hard, consuming a lot of unnecessary stamina.
Alternatively, you can use the "grow" skill of a special follower to enlarge it, and then use it as a steel meat shield to block damage and protect those fragile output minions.
However, its weakness is obvious. It is very slow and any creature with normal movement speed can kite it. Its endurance decreases very quickly and it will run out of strength if it moves for a little longer.
Even in the sea, the Iron Crab will continue to sink due to the heavy steel elements in its body and will not be able to swim freely in the sea alone.
If it wants to move in the sea, it either disguises itself as a stone and waits for a larger marine creature to approach it, then hooks onto the creature and hitches a ride.
Or wait for another ocean follower that coexists with it, and let the other party use water magic to transport it to where it wants to go.
All in all, Bon Bon is a very interesting follower, and also a very strong specialized defensive character...
Zhang Yun summoned five steel crabs and immediately dropped them onto the back of the Deep Sea Fang that was exposed above the water. Then, she let them activate their skills and hang on the back of the Deep Sea Fang.
The strange touch was very obvious, as if a bug had bitten its waist, so the Deep Sea Emperor Fang immediately turned over its body, spinning in the sea, rolling up huge waves several feet high, trying to throw them off.
However, a few steel crabs used their steel spikes to hold on tightly, just like the old turtle biting Leviathan, and were not moved at all.
So the Deep Sea Emperor changed his strategy, dived into the sea, and controlled the sea water around his body to impact his body, just like giving himself a shower with a high-pressure water gun.
This magical water flow was indeed effective and caused some damage to the five steel crabs. Unfortunately, the magic power contained in it was too little, and the steel crabs were not "soft candy" with completely zero magic resistance.
So they are still full of energy, firmly hooked on the body of the Deep Sea King Fang, and releasing a new skill "Pliers Stab", making the hooks on the pliers longer and sharper, piercing into the skin of the Deep Sea King Fang, and then stirring around in its body, causing continuous bleeding damage.
Unfortunately, the fat under the skin of the Deep Sea King Fang is very thick. Although the hooks of this group of crabs can extend a certain distance, they cannot directly penetrate the thick fat, so they neither cause any damage to the Deep Sea King Fang nor cause it to bleed.
"Well, the Bang Bang Crab can't consume the blood of the Deep Sea King Fang... Although I guessed it a long time ago, it still feels a bit regrettable."
"But this guy is quite angry when facing the Bang Bang Crab?"
"Well, let's hang a few more Bang Bang crabs on the Deep Sea Fang to disgust it and make it struggle for a while. This should help consume a lot of its stamina..."
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun took out ten special summoning cards of Iron Crabs, summoned them all, and threw them all onto the giant whale that was rolling in the ocean.
This move was indeed effective. The Deep Sea King Fang, which didn't like being provoked by small fish, became more and more violent, flapping its wings wildly in the sea, trying to get rid of these disgusting things that were like dog-skin plasters.
But the steel crab seemed to be growing on it and would not move at all.
After struggling for a long time, the Deep Sea Emperor finally realized that it was impossible to get rid of these little things clinging to it.
So it dived to the bottom of the sea, turned sideways, and then used its back to hit the rocks on the seabed hard, trying to crush these disgusting little creatures to death.
Unfortunately, the Iron Crabs had already obeyed Zhang Yun's order and used the "hardening" skill. Although they could no longer move, their physical defense was greatly improved, so they were not afraid of the self-destructive attacks of the Deep Sea King Fangs at all.
Then, the Deep Sea Emperor used the same move he had used to attack the long-haired man before. He swung the sea water to roll up the huge rocks in the deep sea and let them smash into the steel crab hanging on his back.
The attack power of these stones was quite strong, and it hurt the Deep Sea King Fang a little, but it still couldn't knock down the Iron Crab hanging on its back. Instead, due to the overly strong reaction force, the stones themselves shattered first.
Afterwards, the Deep Sea Fang struggled for a while, but unfortunately, no matter what it did, it couldn't get rid of those disgusting guys on its back...
Seeing Deep Sea Emperor Fang's look of despair, Zhang Yun touched his nose but did not relax.
Because he knew that although the Deep Sea Emperor Fang seemed to be in a disadvantageous situation and could do nothing about the Iron Crab hanging on its body, these were actually minor problems.
After all, the Iron Crab was hanging behind the Deep Sea Fang, so the Deep Sea Fang couldn't exert its full strength and couldn't kill the group of crabs in one breath.
However, being undying does not mean being invincible. If any other marine followers were on its back, they would have surely all been killed by now after the Deep Sea Fang's attack.
Similarly, these attacks also caused some damage to the Steel Crab.
Although their shells are intact, it seems that nothing is wrong.
But in fact, their internal bodies have suffered considerable trauma and their blood volume has also decreased a lot.
Moreover, Zhang Yun did not dare to approach the dangerous whale, nor did he dare to replenish the blood of the crabs. If they continued to fight like this, they would be killed sooner or later.
"So what do we do next?"
"Summon a new Iron Crab to continue to disgust the Deep Sea Fang and wear down its stamina?"
"Or should we try to attack and get these dying Iron Crabs out of the Deep Sea Fang's body, taking the opportunity to attract the Deep Sea Fang's attention, and then let the Raging Sea Shark attack it?"
Zhang Yun touched his chin, thought carefully, and sought a solution that would be more beneficial to him.
With the help of "Insight", he has now figured out the general skills of the Deep Sea Emperor Fang, and he is also clear about this guy's combat mode, which is basically to rely on his huge size and strength to directly crush the opponent.
This fighting mode is just like that of a wild beast. It doesn't have many tricks and can be easily avoided as long as you have enough reaction and speed.
The only thing you need to be wary of is its skills that can control water and stone. The former can cause a large-scale AOE, while the latter is a powerful long-range attack.
Oh, and there's the huge mouth of the Deep Sea Fang. If you want to fight it, you must not face it head-on, because it can swallow all enemies who don't have enough explosive power into its stomach as soon as it opens its mouth...
"Huh? Now that I think about it, the Raging Sea Shark has absolutely no chance of attacking me?"
"Even if the Iron Crab can attract its attention and let the Raging Shark bite its butt, then whether it controls the sea water to attack its back or turns its head and opens its mouth, it can kill all the Raging Sharks in an instant."
"After all, the defense of the Raging Sea Shark is really blank, almost the same as the level 1 cannon fodder that lost his life earlier."
"Not to mention the AOE of the ocean current, maybe it can't even break through the layer of water protecting the Deep Sea Emperor's body..."
"If we use other marine minions, they can resist the magic AOE attack of the Deep Sea Fang, but facing the thick fat of this big whale, they may not be able to break its defense and lose a single drop of health."
"And it only needs to use its huge body to randomly bump into other creatures, or open its big mouth to suck in some seawater, and it can wipe out these small marine followers that don't have the Iron Crab's 'hanging feature'..."
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun finally understood why this big whale, although it didn't look very powerful, could be rated as an epic BOSS.
It doesn't need any fancy magic or strange secret techniques. Just relying on its absolute power and speed, as well as a large enough body and mouth, it can dominate the sea!
This simple and crude ability is a specialized BOSS specifically targeting small creatures.
Any small marine creature is just a restrained prey to it...
However, although the Deep Sea Fang's characteristics are very effective against small creatures, it is not invincible when facing small enemies.
As long as one can be like that long-haired man, with fast speed, high dodge rate, strong attack, the ability to break defense, and strong self-defense, one can withstand the impact of the water flow which is neither too strong nor too weak... and be able to go upstream and not be sucked into the stomach by the huge suction force generated when the Deep Sea Emperor opens his mouth.
Even if it is a small creature, you can fight it head-on.
But the key is that a small marine creature with such excellent abilities must either be a high-star hero like Lily, or one that needs to consume dragon diamonds!
Or they could be the three-star followers in the later stages, whose attributes have been improved, and they have various high-level skills, the inheritance bestowed by Zhang Yun, and artifacts that can cause explosive damage... With these conditions, they naturally would not be afraid of numerical players like the Deep Sea Emperor who could only crush them mindlessly.
"really……"
"It's still too difficult to use low-level, low-star followers to fight against epic bosses. Without the additional abilities after upgrading, the attribute gap between the two sides will be infinitely widened. Even the size difference will have such a big impact..."
"Okay, I understand. I must level up well..."
"With the current efficiency of encountering epic bosses, if we don't upgrade to level 50 to ensure safety, we will definitely waste dragon diamonds to summon new human rights in the future..."
"There is also the initial career. I have been in trouble since I came out of the deserted island. I have no time to tinker with this. I will take some time to learn a career when I get to the city..."
"Well?"
"Things suddenly become more complicated?"
Zhang Yun covered her cheeks with her hands, sighed deeply, and said: "Alas, ordinary days are gone forever, and a busy life is about to come..."
"Let's find a way to deal with this whale first!"
However, just as Zhang Yun was about to shift his view and take out a new special summoning card, he discovered that the Deep Sea King had broken free from several steel crabs on its back and slammed them heavily onto the rocks on the seabed.
"this?"
"How did you fall?"
Zhang Yun did not move her perspective to the fallen steel crabs, so she did not see why they fell. She only saw that the Deep Sea Royal Teeth seemed to have hit something and they fell.
"What did you hit?"
Zhang Yun was curious and immediately jumped between several steel crabs, but was blocked by the huge whale's body and could not see clearly what it had just hit.
Afterwards, several steel crabs that fell on the seabed were smashed into pieces by the huge and powerful tail of the Deep Sea King Fang, who had been patient for a long time, before they could recover from the "hardened" state.
Kill instantly with one hit!
Even their steel shells were completely defenseless and shattered into countless debris, splashing into the chaotic sea water!
Soon, the Deep Sea Emperor Fang hit the same thing it had hit before and threw away all the remaining steel crabs.
Then it repeated its old trick and smacked the annoying crabs to death with its tail.
This time, Zhang Yun saw clearly what caused the Iron Crab to fall. It was a diamond-shaped stone standing upright on the seabed. It emitted a faint yellow light and a special energy flowed inside it.
This energy will attack any creature that comes into contact with the stone. Although the damage is not high, it will produce a certain negative state, causing the Iron Crab that was originally firmly hanging on the back of the Deep Sea King's Tooth to subconsciously loosen its barbs and then fall straight down.
The Deep Sea Fang was also affected. Its huge body couldn't stop shaking on the seabed, like a mouse that had been electrocuted...
