Chapter 1226: Angry Sheep

Even as the adventurers who were not participating were watching with their throats tightened up as they hoped the four of them could achieve a simultaneous strike. Unfortunately, Yu Xuan realised that if he were to go for the offensive, there was a chance he might be knocked back, or even worse, killed in the process.

So, to play it safe, he kneels with one leg firmly on the ground and uses his shield as the cover against the sheep\'s headbutt. At the same time, he plunged his sword into the ground, hoping it would provide him with sufficient balance to withstand the knockback of a level 5 sheep.

*BAM* The shield Yu Xuan was holding nearly gave way but as a cultivator skilled in the sword and shield style, his basic foundation had paid off allowing the shield to not break under immense pressure by blocking the headbutt via a certain angle. At this point when the interval where the sheep had performed its headbutt, the three other adventurers quickly took the chance to strike.

The thief aimed for the neck since it had the least wool on it despite it being one of the more challenging areas to hit. The archer did not wish to fire his arrows since his companions were dangerously close and thus used a knife too to go for a close ranged attack. In the meantime, Kong Rong went for a wide slash with his sword at the body, hoping his strike would have sufficient range to go through the wool and have the blade seep into its flesh.

*6! 18! 37! *

There was a damage counter that floated out of the sheep when they hit and they saw the strikes connected, causing a multiplier to appear and making the damage counter change colour to a slight tint of rainbow. At the same time, they could see through their eyes that the sheep had a stunned status right above their head.

At this point, the thief jumps on top of the sheep while using its horn as its pivot. He then tried to drag the knife through the neck even though it felt as if its neck muscles were made out of rock. Meanwhile, the archer took a quick step back while nocking his bow in the midst to shoot several arrows right to its butt. The sheep\'s hit points were going down steadily while Kong Rong frantically slammed his sword as he looked towards the tank of the party.

"Yu Xuan!" Kong Rong roared once more as he could see the tank forgo his sword that was partially bent from resisting the knockback and headed for the sheep\'s head once more. His shield glowed momentarily and they all knew that he was about to unleash the shield bash against the sheep.

The shield bash would definitely ensure an additional few seconds of stun time until one of the sheep who were looking at the scene suddenly cried out. So much for hoping that everything would go smoothly as that sheep\'s cry somehow lessened the stun duration from the simultaneous strike and the injured sheep was able to move its head in time, barely missing the shield bash. Nevertheless, that prompted the rest of the adventurers to be more assertive in their attacks.

Kong Rong had decided to ignore everything else and attempted to slice its legs away so it would be crippled while the thief removed the knife from its neck and tried to aim for the eyes. He was fortunate to be able to keep his balance despite the sudden struggle by the sheep. The archer continued to keep calm and shoot his arrows but the sheep\'s movement was getting too erratic.

But somehow despite their efforts, they had forgotten that the sheep had levelled up too, meaning not only its hitpoints were increased but its other attributes as well as the very same thing that the adventurers were able to learn each time they reached a new pinnacle in their path to get stronger.

Skills.

The sheep unleashed a skill they had never seen before. Wool explosion. The sheepy herbivore tightened its muscles to shake the wool away and upon doing so, its wool fluffed up extensively. Initially, the fighters had no idea what it was doing exactly until someone noticed that its eyes were glowing red.

"Quickly kill it!" Ke Loong and the bystanders shouted and it prompted the four of them to use every bit of their strength to use it off.

However, they did not know that the wool explosion was a delayed skill and even upon killing the sheep, Kong Rong noticed something was off and ordered the rest to move away from it as soon as the deed was done. The activation continued and suddenly the wool turned red momentarily before exploding. Everyone within the vicinity did not know how dangerous a level 5 sheep could be and this Virtual Reality instance was not as easy as one would think it would be.

The rest of the sheep as well as the ladybugs ran away from the site since the noise, lights and impact from the explosion scared the rest away. "What the fuck was that…" Kong Rong huffed and puffed to see that his experience bar went up to forty over percent upon killing the level 5 sheep. A great boost in points compared to the ladybugs who were only giving a pathetic point five percent each kill.

"Shit man, imagine the reviews on how crazy the fights would be even for just beginners." Ke Loong extended his hand to Kong Rong and they both could not fathom what the higher levels would be like.
