Chapter 74 - 74: 74: Snatching the Monster
Seeing Song Jian rushing towards it, the hunched zombie abruptly stands tall, its two fists combined in a joint grasp, and smashes the ground forcefully.
Boom-
With a loud roar, the ground is violently dented by the hunched zombie’s punch, shattered stone slabs lying in its wake, as a wave of energy, like a tidal force, charges towards Song Jian.
Too close to evade, Song Jian can do nothing but shield his head with both hands and bear the brunt of the attack.
Under the impact of the strength, Song Jian feels as though he’s standing on cotton, his footing unstable, and he ends up sitting on the ground.
The hunched zombie seizes the chance to pounce, rushing to Song Jian and swinging its palm at Song Jian, who is now sitting with his back to the ground.
Its three withered fingers, like old tree roots, have sharp nails like little knives, that effortlessly break through Song Jian’s defense. The armor of the zombie’s commander emerges, creating a sound as piercing as glass scraping;
The nails cut through the armor’s defense and penetrate Song Jian’s flesh. Three terrifying, bone-deep gouges appear on Song Jian’s shoulder.
From these wounds, fresh blood continuously spurts out, and Song Jian’s vitality suddenly drops significantly, along with an added “continuous blood loss” status.
With gritted teeth, Song Jian bears the pain, waves his dagger, and brutally slashes the hunched zombie’s arm to repel it, hastily grabbing and consuming a fruit from his bag.
A flash of red light and Song Jian’s vitality points increase by 50.
Meanwhile, Song Jian’s left hand presses on his shoulder wound, silently invoking “Surgical Treatment” in his mind. Instantly, a white light envelopes the wound that rapidly heals the fresh and bloody cut. The “continuous blood loss” status also disappears from his status bar.
“Sniper Continuous Shooting”
From a distance, Li Ke’er utters softly, and her crossbow bursts into radiance, a series of translucent crossbow bolts shooting towards the hunchedback zombie like a line.
Song Jian feels a jolt of surprise in his heart. Li Ke’er’s skill inflicts tremendous damage and could easily cause OT. If the BOSS is attracted by Li Ke’er’s attack, Song Jian wouldn’t stand a chance at drawing the BOSS’S attention back to himself in such a short period.
Dozens of crossbow bolts cruelly penetrate the hunched zombie’s back, a series of damage points floating over the BOSS’S head. As the BOSS’S attention starts to wander, Song Jian, out of desperation, wields his dagger and stabs at the BOSS in a haphazard flurry.
“Tusk Fang Stinger”, after all, is a blue-quality dagger. Even without any active attack skills, each of Song Jian’s attacks could cause about ten points of damage to the BOSS. Within a few seconds, Song Jian manages to attack the BOSS three times, stacking the Poison Mark up to five layers.
Seeing the BOSS turn to charge at Li Ke’er, Song Jian yells out, “Explode!”
A dense green powder-like mist bursts out from the BOSS’S body, detonating the five-layer Poison Mark, causing over a hundred points of damage to the hunched zombie directly.
The hunched zombie only sways a bit before continuing its charge at Li Ke’er.
Song Jian’s left hand presses hard on the ground, a tusk-shaped air mass hastily forms, its piercing whistle echoing as it lunges at the hunched zombie.
Earth Teeth Assault!
Boom-
Blood splatters from the legs of the hunched zombie, both legs soften, and it falls to its knees. Its heavy body collides with the ground, causing a tremor akin to an earthquake.
The sight before him left Zhao Sihai, who was hundreds of meters away, utterly terrified. Fie had only heard the boss’s roar previously, unable to enter the park hence unable to see the boss proper. Now seeing how terrifyingly powerful the boss was, he was both astounded and relieved;
“If I were there, I would probably be killed instantly.” Zhao Sihai silently thought to himself.
Utilizing his eight-times scope, Zhao Sihai kept his sights locked onto the boss’s head, prepared to land the final hit at any moment. As long as he was able to inflict damage, he could collect the spoils of war.
“Once the boss is killed, only a heavily injured Song Jian and a little girl will remain; won’t 1 be the ultimate winner then?” A sinister smile fluttered at the corner of Zhao Sihai’s mouth;
Seeing the boss lunge towards her, Li Ke’er was frightened so much that she was slightly shaking, her face paling, but she didn’t run, continuously using her crossbow to attack; every strike accompanied by a jump to a spot further away from the boss. She was gradually getting a hang of the “Jumping Shot” skill;
With the use of the Earth Teeth Assault skill, he finally attracted the boss’s attention. The boss, like a massive tank, charged towards Song Jian after getting up from the ground;
Boom-!
The ground quaked. Song Jian’s face turned ashen at the boss’s awe-inspiring momentum, knowing that he would be instantly killed if hit head-on by the boss;
In a rush, Song Jian dodged behind a Yin Soul Ghost Tree. The boss, with a bellow, charged full-force into the big tree, causing it to split in half and the upper part of its trunk to fly back with a whoosh;
A gust of fierce wind made Song Jian lose more than thirty vitality points just by being hit by the wind and wood shavings. Nevertheless, he managed to evade the boss’s attack;
In a single leap, Song Jian landed on the boss’s back, grabbed the edge of the stele with one hand, and brandished his dagger towards the back of the boss’s neck with the other hand. The boss stood upright, continuously trying to reach backward, but was unable to touch Song Jian;
One strike, two strikes, three strikes…
“Tusk Fang Stinger” finally broke the boss’s defense, fiercely penetrating his flesh. Purple-black blood splattered out, and a critical hit with over 60 points of damage drifted above the boss’s head;
With its vitality points already falling below two hundred, the boss, whose original vitality points were 600, frenziedly crashed its back into a Ghost Tree in an attempt to shake Song Jian off. Seeing that the Poison Mark was once again stacked to five layers, Song Jian quickly shouted, “Burst!”;
The explosion of another green mist caused the boss to stumble and fall to the ground. Song Jian took the opportunity to roll off, raised his dagger high in both hands, and brutally stabbed it down into the boss’s single eye on his forehead;
“Damn it, I can’t wait any longer, if I do, the boss will be killed by him!” Seeing the boss’s vitality points dropping to less than a hundred, Zhao Sihai’s heart pounded as he aimed for the boss’s head and pulled the trigger;
The boss, seeing Song Jian thrust towards his eye, displayed an expression of terror on his face, letting out a roar as he violently turned to the side;
Boom-!
A loud rumble echoed as a sniper bullet fiercely burrowed into the boss’s shoulder blade, directly blowing half of his shoulder into a spray of flesh;
“Someone is stealing my kill!” Song Jian was startled, seeing that the boss had only a dozen or so vitality points remaining, he hurriedly swung his dagger, harvesting the last dozen points of vitality;
The boss, drained of vitality, struggled to get up, but his movements grew weaker and weaker. Eventually, he collapsed, with a large puddle of purple-black tainted blood seeping out slowly from beneath him;
Song Jian didn’t have time to check the boss’s drops, he quickly used a “Vitality Recovery Fruit”, while darting behind a Ghost Tree;
By now, Ke’er had already crouched down and began hiding away. Watching his vitality points being gradually restored, Song Jian’s expression turned increasingly stern.
