Chapter 131: Chapter 131: The Legendary BOSS Reappears!
There was no other way, Zi Liyuan could only switch to the Skeleton Cannon Fodder Group.
The Ghostly Skeleton Knights were kicked back to the Netherworld, and in their place, the Shield Armored Skeleton Warriors took the stage.
Even though they were elite-template skeletons, they were still fragile, and even carrying shields and with the ability to use the skill “Shield Armor Defense”, in front of an Epic Boss, they were still slapped to death in bunches.
But what he needed was only the first skill of the Shield Armored Skeleton Warriors—Taunt!
Using this skill methodically to command the Shield Armored Skeleton Warriors, the constantly layered skill effects slowly lured an ice behemoth away from Lao Tie, instantly reversing the tide of battle.
The line of health, which had been dropping slowly but surely, started to climb back up bit by bit under Lao Tie’s violent assault, until it was fully restored.
What remained was for Lao Tie to slowly finish off the two ice behemoths.
As for Zi Liyuan, he was busy maintaining the numbers of Shield Armored Skeleton Warriors while deftly using the taunt skill to occupy an ice behemoth, and whenever he had a chance, he would throw a few high-damage or curse skills at the BOSS Lao Tie was directly attacking.
After many battles, the time spent grinding became longer and longer. Fortunately, these ice behemoths adhered to the aggro-list and their intelligence was somehow limited. Otherwise, the Shield Armored Skeleton Warriors alone couldn’t have held them back.
“Ding, congratulations to Zi Liyuan for slaying the fiftieth floor Secret Realm BOSS, successfully clearing the fiftieth floor. You have five minutes to rest or you may immediately enter the next floor of the Secret Realm to challenge.”
“Countdown for staying after clearing: 4 minutes 59 seconds…”
“Phew, it’s finally taken care of.”
Zi Liyuan exhaled deeply, and as his tense nerves relaxed, he suddenly felt a wave of fatigue.
Controlling eight ice behemoths at the same time, even with thousands of skeletons surrounding them, they almost got directly breached and got to him. If it weren’t for his suit change, which gave a +120% movement speed effect, allowing him to escape slickly, he might have been caught and flattened.
The fifty-first floor of the Secret Realm.
The scenery changed once more, turning into a watery area all around, and a glass dome was placed over his head, allowing him to breathe underwater.
“Damn! A water terrain, how am I supposed to play in this?!”
Feeling the resistance of the water all around, especially with a movement speed-50% debuff stacked on him, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
But what was even more uncomfortable was the terrifying behemoth a hundred meters away!
[Ancient Blood Shark (Legendary BOSS)]
[Level]: LV60
[Attributes]: Physical Damage 8500, Physical Defense 4500, Magic Resistance 4500, Health 80,000,000, Spiritual Energy 40,000,000.
[Skills]: ?
[Combat Power]: 90,000
As expected of a Legendary BOSS, although its attributes were slightly lower than the Spider Queen in her normal state, its size was much larger, with its body length alone breaking a hundred meters, not to mention its gaping maw, which was as terrifying as a dark abyss.
“Lao Tie, I’m afraid we’re not even enough to fill its teeth gaps.”
No matter how big and burly Lao Tie was, he was still not as tall as a single tooth in the beast’s gaping maw!
“Thank God this thing hasn’t broken through to the Third Order, or else it would really be unplayable.”
The gap of one order can significantly increase attributes, and now that the stats of this Ancient Blood Shark are lower than the Spider Queen, it’s certain it hasn’t broken through to the Third Order.
Besides, this is the entrance exam for Dragon Academy, and getting a Legendary BOSS out is already tricky enough. If they really brought out a Third Order Legendary BOSS, Zi Liyuan thought, no new student would be able to slay this thing.
Not to mention Li Fengwen and the others took down the Spider Queen; from the beginning, they had relied on all kinds of external forces to suppress the Legendary BOSS, and in the end, they even brought out their trump card amplification items.
But there are restrictions in the Secret Realm Tower exam!
Zi Liyuan doesn’t look down on them, but without all kinds of suppression and amplifying methods, they would find it difficult to solo a Level 60 Ancient Blood Shark, let alone a Legendary BOSS that has broken through to the Third Order.
Watching the colossal shark charging straight at him, Zi Liyuan decisively summoned a platoon of Skeleton Warrior in its path.
The massive summoning array took shape in the water, and skeletons with shields charged out, then quickly sank to the bottom…
Extra, damn this underwater environment!
Cursing under his breath, Zi Liyuan couldn’t afford to delay any longer and swiftly used his Spirit to control these skeleton scraps, trying to spread them out as they sank to the bottom.
The Ancient Blood Shark was huge, but surprisingly fast in the water; in fact, it even had a speed boost effect while swimming.
This thing was like an overspeeding dump truck, but super-sized, plowing mud at the bottom of the water, stirring up dust and mud, churning waves as it barreled over everything in its path.
Any Skeleton Warrior that blocked the path of the Ancient Blood Shark’s charge was either knocked into splinters with a brush or turned into bone powder with a collision and, of course, some became the shark’s snacks, truly as crunchy as year-old ribs.
With one summon, 512 Skeleton Warriors were swallowed in one bite by the Ancient Blood Shark, crushed with its body charge, swept away with its pectoral fins, and whipped by its tail. Currents and vortices formed around it, and any skeletons caught in them were shattered to bits.
Only a few Skeleton Warriors that had sunk to the edge managed to escape being massacred, but they were still battered haphazardly by the currents caused by the shark’s charge, even being pushed out more than ten meters away.
However, as long as there were Skeleton Warriors that survived, this summoning wasn’t a waste.
With the activation of a mocking taunt like calling someone a grandchild, the Ancient Blood Shark was skillfully forced to swing its huge head a little, slightly veering the angle of its forward charge.
When an elite monster taunts a Legendary BOSS, the huge gap between their levels, combined with the BOSS’s passive resistance, means the taunt skill lasts only a pitiful 0.2 seconds!
But tens of Skeleton Warriors, under Zi Liyuan’s precise control, seamlessly chained their taunt skills and forced this behemoth to change its charging direction, making a sixty-degree turn.
The swirling currents pushed Zi Liyuan more than ten meters away, allowing him to perfectly avoid a collision with the Ancient Blood Shark.
As they brushed past each other, Lao Tie fearlessly punched straight up.
His punch was sharp as a knife, piercing the shark’s skin and sinking into its flesh. Eight claw stingers, like spider legs, simultaneously stabbed into the Ancient Blood Shark’s body. Their tips clung to the flesh like hooks, anchoring Lao Tie firmly to the Ancient Blood Shark.
The shark’s speed immediately dropped by 50% as Gravity Field and Delayed Deceleration, two negative buffs, stacked up. What was once a powerful battering ram of a dump truck, in the next moment, turned into an old trishaw that had seen better days.
“A big fish without arms, with its back touched, can’t shake it off – isn’t it just a perfect target?”
Watching Lao Tie embark on his fish-training venture, Zi Liyuan’s face showed the triumph of a successful scheme as he began to summon and guide with his Magic Wand once more, calling forth another group of Skeleton Warriors.
They still sank, but by the time the big shark turned around to come back, these skeletons had spread out quite significantly, ensuring that they wouldn’t get nearly wiped out by the BOSS in a single wave as they had when they were first summoned.
