Faced with the sudden onslaught from the BOSS, Li Keâerâs face changed dramatically. She was six or seven metres away from the BOSS when she detected something was wrong and immediately used a skill resembling teleportation to quickly escape the attack range. However, Song Jian wasnât as fortunate. By the time Li Keâer reacted, Song Jian was already swallowed by an explosion.
âLittle Brother Jianâ¦â Li Keâer was scared out of her wits, standing paralyzed in place, even forgetting to attack.
âPfft, pfft~â Song Jian ran out from the smoke and dust, his face covered in soot, looking totally dishevelled. That previous big move had resulted in him getting hit by at least three burning rocks; his Vitality Points lost more than half instantly. If it werenât for his current high Vitality Points, he might have been killed in one strike.
After the big move, Song Jian still had an adverse âBurnedâ status, losing thirteen Vitality Points per second for eight seconds.
âIs the release speed of this big move so fast that it doesnât even give me time to respond?â Song Jian couldnât help but quip. âIf there was a team, one move would wipe out more than half of us.â
After releasing the big move, the mutated tortoise beast looked visibly tired. It curled up its four limbs and lay down by the river bank, partially exposing its head. Song Jianâs eyes brightened and he rushed over without waiting for his Vitality Points to fully recover.
Sword Silk!
Sweeping Sword Style!
Broken Wing Dance!
In an instant, the BOSS had several damage numbers of over a hundred floating above its head, and âFatigue Statusâ appeared in its status bar.
âKeâer, attack quickly!â Seeing Li Keâer in a daze at the side, Song Jian quickly called out to her.
âOkay, alright!â Li Keâer also had a look of shock on her face. She hadnât expected that the previous big move had no effect on Song Jian. Instead, it made him more aggressive and his damage had greatly increased.
At that moment, a massive projection of a Desert Scorpion Beast appeared out of thin air and joined the attacking team.
Under the onslaught of the team, by the time the BOSSâS fatigue state ended, its Vitality Points had already dropped to one third. This fatigue state had at least saved Song Jian half an hourâs worth of attack time.
The ensuing fight reverted back to the previous state of slowly whittling down the opponentâs Vitality Points. Song Jian had to carefully allocate his skill damage to counter the BOSSâS Vitality recovery speed while also being alert for another big move by the BOSS.
The Desert Scorpion Beast projection had disappeared and wouldnât reappear in a short time, which greatly reduced Song Jianâs damage.
Song Jian was reluctant to haphazardly use Sword Shadow Step and was always ready to release Immortal Sword Body. The previous big move didnât cause critical hits, but if three critical hits had occurred in one go, it would have directly killed Song Jian. Although the probability was low, he had to remain vigilant.
The Weakness Potion was used up quickly, already ten-plus bottles gone since the start. Without the defense reduction from the Weakness Potion, fighting the BOSS would have been even more difficult.
When the BOSSâS Vitality Points dropped to 15%, it finally launched another big move. This time, Song Jian released Sword Shadow Step and Immortal Sword Body. He charged at the mutated tortoise beast, amidst the falling burning rocks.
Heartâs Eye!
Song Jianâs eyes sparkled. A giant crimson crosshair continuously scanned the body of the mutated tortoise beast. In no time at all, the crosshair stopped at the beastâs left eye, its only weak spot.
Sword Finger!
Taking advantage of the roaring sound and the spreading smoke and dust, Song Jian withstood several burning rocks, rushed up to the front of the tortoise beast, and stabbed forward with his left index finger. A three-metre-long silver Sword Qi emitted dazzling light, shining brightly even in the smoke and dust.
Pff-
The dazzling Sword Qi pierced into the left eye of the tortoise beast. Blood sprayed out and a critical hit damage number of over three hundred floated up from the top of the beastâs head.
Roar~
The tortoise beast let out a crazed roar and raised its head as if preparing another skill.
Foot Kick!
Song Jian kicked the rocky tortoise beast hard, and his right foot felt as if it had struck a sheet of iron, causing a piercing pain.
However, this hit interrupted the rocky tortoise beastâs preparation to release its skill. Its roar stopped abruptly, and at that moment, a spinning purple-black fireball fell from the sky, striking the monsterâs held-high head dead on.
Bang!
The purple-black fireball exploded on its head in an instant, a wave of purpleÂblack flames engulfed the rocky tortoise beastâs massive body.
Roar!
A young black dragon let out a high roar, a hint of fatigue appearing on its face. Flapping its wings, it flew to Song Jianâs side.
Song Jianâs attack didnât stop, he directly activated the Rapid Sword skill, drastically increasing his attack speed. The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword in his hand left a trail of dark red streaks in the air, slashing fiercely onto the rocky tortoise beast.
Fast, fast, fast!
Song Jianâs attack speed seemed to break through the sky, even creating illusions in his swing. Taking advantage of the BOSSâS âfatigue statusâ, he crazily output all his skills, dumping all of them onto the BOSS.
-89
-96
-102
A string of damage numbers sprang from the BOSSâS head. The mutated rocky tortoise beast, having fallen into a state of fatigue, seemed to sense its imminent death. Panic flashed in its eyes, but at this point, it couldnât move at all and could only passively receive a lot of damage.
3,2,1â¦
The fatigue state ended, and the mutated rocky tortoise beast suddenly stood up, glared fiercely at Song Jian, and headed towards the Song Gong River.
âShoot, itâs trying to run!â Song Jian was alarmed and quickly checked his status. At this time, his spirit points had just recovered to 54%.
Without wasting any more time, Song Jian immediately used the âEye-beam Killâ!
His vertical pupil opened, and a silver beam burst out, hitting the mutated rocky tortoise beast in the blink of an eye;
Boom, boom, boomâ¦
A series of explosions sounded on the rocky tortoise beastâs body. Huge chunks of rock fell from it. Finally, with a miserable cry, it fell down on the ground, not even six meters away from the Song Gong River, turning into a pile of giant rubble.
A golden light burst from the young black dragon, theexperience gained from defeating the rocky tortoise beast helped it level up, turning it into a level ten elite BOSS.
The leveled-up black dragon let out an excited roar and even without Song Jianâs command, it entered the pet space by itself and started sleeping deeply.
Song Jian was surprised and immediately checked the petâs attributes. Finding no anomalies except for the deep sleep, he let out a sigh of relief and closed the pet interface.
The experience from a level fifteen elite BOSS was plentiful, but not enough for Song Jian to level up again, it only increased his experience bar by 8%.
âThatâs amazing, Brother Jian is amazing!â Li Keâer exclaimed excitedly and ran towards Song Jian.
Song Jian smiled faintly, resisting the fatigue, he pulled Li Keâer and walked towards the rocky tortoise beast;
