Bugged From the Start: I Spawned as a Parasite

Chapter 68 – Chen Yuan is really a noob

Chen Yuan wasn't just feeling cold; he estimated his character might soon be in dire straits!

Just after using the Siphon skill to fully restore his Health Points, they were now dropping by over a hundred points at a time.

He quickly used a bottle of basic recovery potion!

But this potion was just a drop in the bucket, only restoring 50 Health Points in total, and it had a 30-second cooldown, making it hardly useful!

30 seconds?

If he could hold out for another 30 seconds, he wouldn't even need this basic Health Potion.

Why not just use the Siphon skill directly?

Thinking about the Siphon skill, he couldn't help but complain.

The cooldown was so long, and he couldn't attack and siphon at the same time!

A bad review!!

Back when he first got the skill, he praised it for being good.

Now he was starting to dislike it.

Time was running short, so Chen Yuan tried the option to exit the game.

[Ding] "System: You cannot exit the game while in combat. Please leave combat status first! If you force exit the game, your character will remain in combat status until death. Do you wish to force exit?"

As expected, logging out wasn't going to work here!

"Am I really going to fall here today?"

Chen Yuan was helpless, watching as his Health Points dropped to half!

In this enclosed space, there seemed to be no way to resolve the current predicament.

As his Health Points continued to drop, Chen Yuan was ready to give up resistance.

But with the principle of peeling another layer off the Snake Lord before dying, Chen Yuan attacked the Snake Lord again.

Skill: Bite.

But he suddenly realized, huh? There was another skill he hadn't used!

The Parasitism skill! He hadn't used it yet.

Originally, he planned to use this skill when the Snake Lord's Health Points dropped below 20% and it activated its Berserk Domain!

Because once the Snake Lord activated its Berserk Domain, controlling it immediately would nullify its domain damage against Chen Yuan.

But most importantly, controlling it then would prevent it from attacking monsters, stopping its Health Points from recovering.

This was a strategy Chen Yuan had thought of before reaching level 5.

However, he didn't know back then that the Snake Lord's Berserk Domain lasted for 20 minutes, while his Parasitism control only lasted for 15 minutes, leaving a 5-minute gap.

These 5 minutes could potentially ruin his plan.

But after reaching level 5, he randomly acquired a Siphon skill, which increased his success rate in defeating the Snake Lord.

Now he had completely forgotten that he could still use the Parasitism skill.

It just showed that Chen Yuan was indeed a gaming novice.

He could only play well when things were going smoothly, but when faced with adversity, he panicked, leaving major skills unused without realizing it!

Anyone with a few years of gaming experience wouldn't be like this.

Even if they couldn't use game skills as effortlessly as a pro, they would at least know to use all their skills before dying.

With time running out, Chen Yuan immediately prepared to use the Parasitism skill on the Snake Lord!

But the next second, he stopped abruptly.

What a coincidence.

Damn, it actually came out!!

Yes, the Snake Lord emerged from the other end of the tunnel.

They were currently in a mountain belly, and the space inside was quite large.

But for the massive body of the Snake Lord, it was a bit cramped.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; he was safe, and the Parasitism skill was preserved.

Without the Parasitism skill, Chen Yuan would have had to run, as the Snake Lord's Berserk Domain's healing was too overwhelming.

Seeing that half of the Snake Lord's body was still stuck in the tunnel, Chen Yuan quickly seized the opportunity to attack.

The Snake Lord's Health Points had dropped below 50,000, and it wouldn't be long before it fell to 20%.

Feeling its Health Points rapidly depleting, the Snake Lord, which had been calmly figuring out how to deal with Chen Yuan, could no longer remain calm.

Roars echoed through the cave.

The Snake Lord's massive body twisted and turned.

It tried to turn its head to attack Chen Yuan.

Unfortunately, it chose a good spot, but the cave was too narrow, and despite several attempts, it couldn't reach him.

This allowed Chen Yuan to attack with ease.

Bite.

Siphon.

The rocks scattered by the Snake Lord's thrashing had no effect on Chen Yuan, as the Snake Lord couldn't do anything to him now.

Finally, before the Snake Lord could fully emerge, its body began to glow red.

Its Health Points had fallen below 20%.

The Berserk Domain was activated.

Chen Yuan immediately used the Parasitism skill to control the Snake Lord.

The cave fell silent in an instant.

With no monsters for the Snake Lord to attack, its Health Points couldn't recover.

Chen Yuan looked at the Snake Lord, with part of its body still stuck in the narrow passage, and couldn't help but sneer.

His original plan was to control the Snake Lord in a place with fewer monsters, then use Fireball on the monsters to attack the Snake Lord from a distance.

This way, he could attack the Snake Lord without being affected by its Berserk Domain and slow down its recovery speed.

But now!

Heh heh.

Chen Yuan controlled the Snake Lord's body to move, inching its way out of the passage.

The cave was so cramped that it took Chen Yuan two minutes to finally turn the Snake Lord around!

Next, he controlled the Snake Lord to crawl back into the passage.

"Heh, you like rubbing against things, huh? I'll let you rub to your heart's content!"

Damage numbers kept popping up above the Snake Lord's head, with occasional critical hits!

The Berserk Domain's defense reduction effect was truly fantastic!

This was a classic case of being hoisted by one's own petard. Originally, this was a move the Snake Lord used to deal with Chen Yuan, but now it saved Chen Yuan a lot of effort.

After one crawl, Chen Yuan immediately turned the Snake Lord around for another round!

The snake could only move forward, not backward.

Otherwise, Chen Yuan wouldn't have to work so hard, just going in and out of the cave entrance!

While Chen Yuan and the Snake Lord were battling.

In Novice Village 27145321, a BOSS extermination battle was reaching its climax.

"This 'One Sword to Destroy Gods' is truly amazing. He's dodged every single one of the BOSS's attacks!!"

A mage player, while hurling Small Fireballs at the distant Darkgold-level Wild Boar BOSS, couldn't help but express his admiration to the player beside him.

The player next to him rolled his eyes.

"Hey, do you think the top ten universally recognized experts are just for show? If it weren't for the low level and insufficient attack power, he wouldn't need to pay us to help with the damage; he could handle it alone!"

Besides these two players, there were countless others around them.

A rough glance showed over a thousand people.

And all these players were of ranged classes.

Mages, Priests, Archers!
