Immediately after, the Wind Spirit Beast cast a second spell. It was the Sleep Spell, and the third tiger boss fell into a deep sleep!
I was dumbfounded. This little watermelon could play such an important role. As expected, strength couldn't be measured by body size!
This Charm skill was too OP. In a 1v1 duel, if I could control the opponent's movements for 5 seconds, then it would be the same as winning.
"Hey!
Hurry up and run! "
Ling Xue lowered her Thunderous Sword and grabbed my arm with one hand. The two of us quickly ran out of Stone Valley.
Outside, Ling Yue and the others were waiting for support. In the end, a tiger boss covered in blue light chased after us. The girls jumped in fright.
I raised my sword and said, "Hurry up and run! Pull some distance away and let the other two bosses' aggro disappear!"
The girls nodded in unison. The team maintained a parallel formation, but I felt my entire body go numb. A bolt of lightning fell from the sky. The blue tiger had actually released a lightning attack out of thin air, instantly dealing 3000 damage to me.
Qin Yun hurriedly stopped and used a healing spell to pull my health back up.
We continued to move. About a minute later, we were far away from Stone Valley. Only then did I relax. I turned around and slashed at the blue tiger. I took the opportunity to send its stats to the party channel — [Violent Thunder Tiger King] (Dark Gold Rank Boss)
Level: 115
Magic Attack: 1440 ~ 1750
Defense: 800
HP: 1800000
Skills: [Lightning Strike], [Lightning Flash], [Violent Thunder Heavenly Assault]
Passive: King of Tigers, has the ability to control lightning magic.
… …
Damn, no wonder this boss's fur was standing on end and electricity was flowing around it. It was a lightning type boss!
Ling Xue and Bing Cha also walked over and waited for an opportunity to attack. The other girls stood in position. Ling Yue attacked with Fire Dragon, while Summer used her staff to attack with low-level fireballs. Summoners' magic attacks were too weak.
Not long after, the Violent Thunder Tiger King let out an angry roar and raised its head high into the air. In the next moment, it opened its giant mouth and shot out two bolts of lightning, striking both me and Ling Xue at the same time. I lost 3000 HP and Ling Xue lost almost 5000 HP. She was almost one-shot!
Qin Yun hurriedly healed him. Fortunately, there were three Clerics around this time. With everyone's desperate healing, he was barely able to recover his HP.
However, the Violent Thunder Tiger King didn't stop there. It raised its head again, and its whole body flickered with electricity. It was preparing to cast a large-scale spell.
Ling Xue, Bing Cha, and I immediately used Total Annihilation. Unfortunately, it was still unable to interrupt the spell. In the next moment, the Violent Thunder Tiger King's spell was successfully cast!
The sky changed color, and the world turned dark. Violent lightning suddenly descended, covering an area of about 20x20, just enough to cover Ling Yue and Qin Yun. As a result, the two girls were prepared and retreated. They only took the first Violent Thunder Strike and used the rest of the time to attack.
Now that we had figured out the boss's habits, killing it was exceptionally easy. It was only a matter of time. Right now, it was 6 in the morning. The girls were yawning. Little Qiao of Jiangnan and Xun Meng clearly didn't stay up late often, so they weren't in good spirits.
On the other hand, Ling Xue and Ling Yue were still full of energy. Their beautiful eyes were filled with excitement and joy. The two of them were the main force killing the boss, and they were very happy killing it.
Half an hour later, the Violent Thunder Tiger King fell with a whimper. It dropped a ground full of gold and three pieces of equipment.
As usual, Ling Xue picked up the gold and equipment. Then, everyone went to pick up their quest items. Soon, a second Blue Tiger Boss's head appeared in our bags.
The stats of the three pieces of equipment that Ling Xue sent out made us speechless — —
【Lightning Dagger】 (Silver Tier)
Attack: 160-320
Agility: + 10
Stamina: + 5
Additional: Increases Agility by 5
Level Requirement: 75
(Unappraised)
【Flash Bracers】 (Bronze Tier — — Armor)
Defense: 54
Strength: + 7
Additional: Increases Strength by 3
Level Requirement: 75
(Unappraised)
【Blue Leather Boots】 (Bronze Tier — — Armor)
Defense: 38
Agility: + 6
Additional: Increases Agility by 2
Level Requirement: 75
(Unappraised)
… …
The three pieces of equipment with such trash stats made us speechless.
Ling Xue blinked and explained, "These … are really dropped by the boss!"
I smiled. "I know. This boss's luck is too bad. Let's look at the next one. Where's your Wind Spirit Beast?
Summon it again!
We need to kill the next boss immediately. The people from the Heavenly Calamity haven't come yet, and we don't know if they'll do anything. We need to be quick and decisive. "
"Yes!"
Ling Xue waved her sword, and a small hexagram appeared in front of her. The Wind Spirit Beast also jumped out. However, the Wind Spirit Beast was originally Level 62. Now, it was Level 61. Clearly, it had died once.
I said, "This time, we just need to lure one out. Let Watermelon sleep the other one and then Watermelon will fly out. 30 seconds is enough to escape the aggro range."
"Yes, got it!"
Ling Xue and I returned to Stone Valley once more. This time, we were a lot calmer. When I hit the golden tiger with an Armor-Piercing Arrow, the Wind Spirit Beast quickly put the Berserk tiger to sleep. Then, it carried the golden tiger boss and ran for its life toward the outside.
The Golden Tiger King's body was clearly bigger than the other tigers. When it roared, the entire plain seemed to shake. Its head was as big as a bucket, and when it opened its bloody mouth, it spat out a stench that was enough to kill an elephant.
I purposely ran slower so that Ling Xue could escape first with Watermelon. The Golden Tiger didn't hold back either. It chased after us, raised its paw and slapped down!
"Bang!"
I felt a sudden pain in my back. 2000 HP was gone just like that.
I was slightly shocked. What kind of boss could deal so much damage to my Defense?
I activated Star Eye and the Golden Tiger's stats appeared in the party channel — [Adamantine Tiger King] (Dark Gold Rank Boss)
Level: 115
Magic Attack: 1750 ~ 1900
Defense: 1800
HP: 2200000
Skills: [Adamantine Shield], [Rock Explosion], [Terror Breaking Roar]
Passive: King of Tigers, has the ability to control earth magic
… …
Damn, its Attack is 1900! No wonder it took out so much of my HP with a single slap!
Ling Xue stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Damn, this boss's Defense is so high …"
Once everyone was in position, we immediately activated our formation. Ling Xue, Bing Cha, and I continued to pull aggro while Silent Rain, Ling Yue, and the other girls started attacking from afar.
Bing Cha moved forward and used Sword Qi of Destruction. This skill was the simplified version of Ling Xue's Profound Ice Sword Qi. Its overall Attack was very small, but its single-target damage was super high!
Puchi!
Bing Cha's Abyssal Sword hit the Adamantine Tiger King's neck, but the Adamantine Tiger King let out a low growl and glowed with golden light. A golden shield suddenly appeared around its body. This was clearly the Adamantine Shield skill. No wonder there was a golden halo around the Adamantine Tiger King's feet.
Bing Cha's mouth fell open as she exclaimed, "OMG!
200% damage from Sword Qi of Destruction didn't even deal 1000 damage. My Attack doesn't seem to be enough to break through the boss's Defense … "
Ling Xue moved forward and used Water Moon Slash. A blue ripple spread across the area, but the Adamantine Tiger King only lost 1200 HP. Normally, Ling Xue's Water Moon Slash would deal over 5000 damage!
Ling Xue couldn't help but show an astonished expression when she saw this. She asked, "Sister Bing Cha, what's your Attack?"
"1458 Attack. What about you, Xiao Xue?"
Ling Xue murmured, "My Attack is 1544, not much higher than yours. No wonder I couldn't break through the boss's Defense …"
It was at this moment I turned around and slashed the Vajra Tiger King's neck with a Whirlwind Slash. The wind actually scattered part of the golden shield, and the Vajra Tiger King let out a pained roar as it lost 3457 HP!
To test if my Attack could break through the Adamantine Tiger King's Defense, I used Total Annihilation again. Three damage numbers appeared above the Adamantine Tiger King's head — 2464!
“2348！”
“2221！”
As expected, my Attack could break through the boss's Defense. A few seconds later, a Shield Breaking Slash caused the boss to howl in pain.
Ling Xue's beautiful eyes widened as she asked, "Idiot, how much Attack do you have?
How did you break through the boss's 1800 Defense and Adamantine Shield? "
I raised my shield and parried the Adamantine Tiger King's attack. Then, I turned around and said with a smile, "It's not too bad. My upper limit is 2020 Attack. However, the Sword of the Frozen King increases physical attack by 25%, the Heavenly Fire Ring increases physical attack by 15%, and the Undead Bracers increase physical attack by 10%. In total, it's a 50% increase in attack power. So, my actual attack power should be around 3000. If it weren't for the fact that the boss is so much higher in level, I'm afraid that each of my attacks wouldn't exceed 5000!"
Ling Xue and Bing Cha's mouths fell open as they murmured, "As expected … this guy is as abnormal as a monster …"
I smiled. "It can't be helped. My equipment is top-tier even among Dark Gold – grade items that increase my Attack. Moreover, the Dragon Speaker's Strength growth is high to begin with. If you two can quickly grind to Level 80 and snatch a hidden class, you might be able to increase your Strength growth as well!"
Ling Xue nodded seriously. "Yes, of course!
Hurry up and reach Level 80. Once you equip that overpowered Elemental Bow that increases ranged attack by 50%, take me to Level 80! "
I slashed the Adamantine Tiger King's claws back and smiled. "No problem. It's my honor to bring a beauty to grind levels ~ ~"
Xia Zhi immediately said excitedly, "May I ask if Scholar can bring me to grind levels?"
I countered with a question. "Are you a beauty?"
Xia Zhi pouted. "Not really. Are all the beauties in your heart the brainless type with big breasts?"
I shook my head. "I don't like brainless breasts, but they should at least have breasts. But Xia Zhi, sigh, I really can't make do with you …"
Xia Zhi angrily said, "Scholar, you bastard, you're going to die … When you reach Level 80, you have to bring me to grind levels. I don't care anymore!"
Ling Yue was speechless. "You guys focus on fighting the monsters. If you want to chat, go offline and chat in the lobby, okay?"
The boss had spoken, so everyone quietly fought the monsters.
The Adamantine Tiger King's attack power was incredible, but it didn't have any combo skills. Otherwise, a Total Annihilation would've been enough to one-shot me. The Adamantine Tiger King's Rock Blast skill was a bit useless. It could hit a player in a small area, but its attack power was a bit lacking. Even Bing Cha only lost 1000 HP. Ling Xue and I had even higher Magic Resist, so we only lost less than 500 HP.
However, the Adamantine Tiger King's other skill was incomparably powerful. It let out a Gut-Breaking Roar, and all of our melee classes' attack power dropped by 35%. I was still okay. At the very least, my attacks could deal over 1000 damage to the Adamantine Tiger King. Ling Xue and Bing Cha, the two pitiful girls, could only deal a few hundred damage to the boss before they returned to their newbie state.
This time, the main attacker was Ling Yue. Fire Dragon Spell after Fire Dragon Spell hit the boss until it was on the verge of death. It was so powerful that our melee classes almost couldn't pull its aggro. I had no choice but to use Flame Dragon Soar every minute to pull its aggro.
The Adamantine Tiger King's HP was relatively high, so it took us about half an hour to attack it. Finally, this ferocious boss let out a sad cry and fell to the ground!
"Hualala!"
Golden light flashed, and the Adamantine Tiger King dropped a lot of equipment. Gold also piled up like a small mountain.
In the quest notification, the final boss had disappeared. The quest that required us to kill all the monsters on the plains had long since been completed. Now, it was time to kill the last tiger.
Ling Xue walked up to pick up the gold and equipment. The Adamantine Tiger King dropped a shining spear, a shiny sword, a pair of armored boots, and a dark gold shield.
Ling Xue smiled and said, "I've always been the one who picked up the gold coins while grinding here. Today's total income is about 300,000 gold coins. After this is over, I'll give everyone 30000 gold coins. There's also equipment to be distributed according to need. If no one wants it, I'll sell it and split the money!"
As she said that, Ling Xue sent the spear's stats to the party channel — —
[Spear of the Earth] (Dark Gold – grade)
Attack: 440 ~ 580
Strength: + 30
Stamina: + 28
Intelligence: + 12
Passive: Increases user's Attack by 100
Level Requirement: 80
(Unappraised)
… …
It was obvious that this was a spear with very high Attributes. The 100-point Attack increase was enough to make any melee player drool. However, there were very few classes that used spears, probably only Dragon Speakers and Knights. So, although the market for spears was decent, it definitely couldn't compare to longswords.
Ling Xue waved the Spear of the Earth and asked me, "Idiot, you can use a spear. Do you need this weapon?"
As she said this, the little beauty winked at me. I froze for a moment, then smartly asked, "Does it matter if I want it or not?"
Ling Xue pursed her lips. "It doesn't matter. Then sell it and split the money, you big idiot …"
I smiled. Forget it. I didn't need that bit of money anyway. I was glad that Ling Xue was being considerate of me.
As for the sword, it was a Gold-grade weapon with decent Attack. In its unappraised state, its upper limit was 375 Attack. I estimated that after appraising it, it would be around 500 Attack. It could be sold for a few thousand RMB.
The metal boots were top-tier items with 85 Defense and added 10% Agility. I gave them up because Bing Cha's level was too low, so I gave them to Ling Xue. The dark gold shield was a Level 75 high-grade item. Ling Xue threw it to Bing Cha without hesitation. As a high-attack swordsman, Bing Cha really needed this kind of defensive equipment.
After the loot was divided, everyone looked at Stone Valley again. What would the last blood-red tiger give us?
