When Jake saw this bear, no, golden-furred mouse, he became nervous. He quickly used his identification skill. Golden-Furred Mouse King: Level 10, the ruler of the mine, considers it as its territory since occupying the mine. It has a cruel temperament, high defense, strong attack, and average agility.
Golden-Furred Mouse King? This is a boss in the game! Jake didn't expect to encounter a boss so quickly. In typical games, bosses are more powerful and dangerous than regular monsters, but players eagerly seek them out because bosses usually drop valuable loot that regular monsters can't provide.
In normal games, players even fight each other for a boss, and if it's a top-tier boss, it could lead to wars between guilds. However, this is not an ordinary game world, and no one is competing with Jake. But when Jake looked at the enemy size and up to 10 level , he realized that the gap between them was too large. Jake's level had only reached level two, and the previous Spotted Tiger, also level ten, left a deep impression on him. Without using traps, he would have had no chance to kill it. Now, facing the Golden-Furred Mouse King, it was clear that he wouldn't have the time to set traps. As Jake expected, after using the identification skill, the Golden-Furred Mouse King, which was initially glaring at him, immediately charged towards him. Its enormous body created tremors as it ran, causing rocks to fall in the mine.
Jake quickly took out his shovel, concentrating and remaining on guard, not daring to be careless. He soon realized that the Golden-Furred Mouse King was indeed as described by the identification skill. Its agility was average, slower than the regular golden-furred mice. This made Jake, who had originally planned to escape, reconsider his options.
Perhaps there was hope to kill it? After all, this was the first boss Jake encountered in this world. If possible, he didn't want to give up. In regular games, killing bosses often resulted in obtaining good items, and he believed it might be the same here.
With this in mind, Jake abandoned the idea of escape and decided to give it a try. The worst that could happen was death, but even in this realistic world, it didn't represent true death, giving Jake a lot of confidence.
"Squeak!" When the Golden-Furred Mouse King ran in front of Jake, it let out a roar. Although it still sounded like a mouse, the sound was much more intense than that of regular golden-furred mice. The enormous noise reverberated in the spacious mine, causing the falling debris to increase in speed.
"I hope this place doesn't collapse," Jake worried slightly. However, this wasn't the time to think about such things. The Golden-Furred Mouse King had already charged in front of him. Jake swung his shovel, and the Golden-Furred Mouse King fiercely struck out with its front paw. The two clashed, and Jake instantly felt a shock. His entire arm felt sore, and he almost lost his grip on the shovel. His health also dropped by a third.
"Damn! It's incredibly strong!" Jake's face was filled with shock. The impact felt like hitting a boulder. His arm was sore, and he had to take several steps back due to the force. However, the enormous body of the Golden-Furred Mouse King remained motionless, like a solid rock. Its eyes were filled with disdain, seemingly mocking Jake's feeble attempts.
Although Jake was angry, he knew that he couldn't compete with the Golden-Furred Mouse King in terms of strength alone. It seemed that if he wanted to kill this Golden-Furred Mouse King, he would have to find a way to exploit its weaknesses. And its only weakness was its agility. The massive body provided immense strength but also restricted some of its agility.
The Golden-Furred Mouse King, seeing that its first attack didn't kill Jake, let out an angry roar and charged at him once again. Jake remained on high alert, and when the Golden-Furred Mouse King approached, he exerted force with his legs, leaping high into the air, benefiting from the jumping enhancement attribute of his Cloud Flow Boots.
The Golden-Furred Mouse King rushed under Jake's feet without being able to hit him. However, before Jake could feel relieved, he heard a loud as his head hit the top of the mine, causing some rocks to fall. His head became dizzy, and his health decreased once again.
The mine was only a little over two meters high, and Jake had jumped too forcefully, resulting in him hitting the top. As Jake landed, the Golden-Furred Mouse King changed direction and charged at him once more. Jake endured the pain and jumped again. This time, he controlled the strength, ensuring that he was higher than the Golden-Furred Mouse King but without hitting the mine's ceiling. As the Golden-Furred Mouse King ran beneath Jake, he bent his body and fiercely struck the mouse king with his shovel.
However, despite the appearance of a fierce and powerful strike, Jake couldn't break through the mouse king's defense, and thus, it caused no damage. Although the Golden-Furred Mouse King didn't receive any harm, Jake's actions were considered an insult. Its eyes filled with bloodlust, rage, and a desire to tear Jake apart into pieces.
"I can't even break through its defense. How am I supposed to kill it?" Jake was now trapped in a dilemma. Despite the assistance of the Cloud Flow Boots, allowing him to jump high and evade the Golden-Furred Mouse King's attacks, he couldn't harm it. In this situation, neither side could harm the other, and it was clear that this approach wouldn't work for him.
While Jake was thinking of a way to inflict damage on the Golden-Furred Mouse King, the creature charged at him once again. Jake instinctively jumped, but this time, as the Golden-Furred Mouse King reached below him, it suddenly stood up on its hind legs like a human. This increased its height significantly, and its paw struck Jake's leg, sending him flying away.
"Bang!" Jake collided with the top of the mine once again, but this time, it was involuntary. He then crashed heavily onto the ground, experiencing intense abdominal pain as if his organs had shifted. The pain was unbearable, and his health dropped to less than one-third. The Golden-Furred Mouse King was too cunning!
Jake furrowed his brow, enduring the intense pain coursing through his body, and watched as the Golden-Furred Mouse King charged at him once more. Despair started to creep into his heart. Was he going to die here?
