Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Lord Bosses Who Can Lure Away the Tiger and Launch Sneak Attacks

“Rampage of Exotic Beasts” instance.

An hour had passed, and Zi Liyuan, yawning, roamed the battlefield with Lao Tie and the Human-faced Demon Spider, picking up the loot dropped by monsters.

Any monster that hindered him from collecting spoils was casually slain by the doorkeeper-like Lao Tie and the Human-faced Demon Spider flanking him on both sides.

So far, the fight had bored Zi Liyuan to death.

In the “Guard The Energy Crystal” instance, he still needed to keep busy with Lao Tie, quickly slaying the mini-bosses and the bosses.

But in this “Beast Tide” instance, besides an overwhelming number of minor monsters, not a single boss had appeared even after an hour had passed.

The only thing that slightly uplifted Zi Liyuan’s mood was the loot these monsters dropped.

He had chosen this instance solely because of one sentence in its description, “A very small chance to drop an Exotic Beast Egg!”

But now, it seemed like it wasn’t just a very small chance for Exotic Beast Eggs to drop—it was practically raining monster eggs!

The eggs dropped roughly once for every ten monsters!

As for the quality of the monster eggs, there were only three types: trash, normal, and elite.

Out of roughly a hundred monster eggs, seventy would be trash quality, twenty-five normal quality, and five elite quality.

The value of these eggs was not low; even the trash and normal quality monster eggs could sell for a high price to those restaurants or monster-breeding organizations.

Rich in nutrients, once cooked by a master or Grandmaster chef, these eggs could be used to create various dishes that temporarily increased one’s stats.

And for the regular professionals, the elite-quality monster eggs were a rare chance to enhance their combat abilities.

Especially for adventurers, venturing out into the wild with a contracted exotic beast often led to unexpected gains and could avoid encroaching on the territories of higher-level monsters.

“With so many monster eggs, dumping them straight onto the market would probably crash the economy.”

Glancing at the 52 stacks of eggs in his Spatial Backpack, Zi Liyuan was somewhat dazed.

Tens of thousands of monster eggs—though all of low quality, their sheer quantity was staggering!

“Once I’m out, I’ll just dump them on Uncle Wang to deal with. This way, I can use his connections to get some high-grade materials.”

Even if the vast majority of the 52 stacks of eggs were trash quality, selling them could still likely net billions of Dragon Coins.

And this was just the haul from one hour; filling up all six hours without any issue, the earnings could exceed 5 billion Dragon Coins, not to mention the other materials dropped by the monsters.

“Ssss~!”

Zi Liyuan, who was cleaning up the battlefield, suddenly heard the hissing of the Human-faced Demon Spider and saw it transform into a heavy tank, charging at the monsters.

Watching the Human-faced Demon Spider plow a path over four meters wide through the horde, Zi Liyuan was speechless.

In the past trial instance, he had encountered a Lord Level Human-faced Demon Spider boss, nearly the size of a two-story building, but the Epic Boss template of the Human-faced Demon Spider he had summoned was significantly smaller, yet still over eight meters tall.

The upper body no longer resembled that of a human male, but rather a voluptuous woman’s figure, though covered in a layer of purplish-red chitin, with both arms as sharp scythes, while the lower body remained that of a blood-red spider.

So, when it charged forward, its massive spider rear crushed the ground, squashing a bunch of monsters or burying them into the earth.

“Finally, a boss has appeared, it wasn’t a waste waiting for such a long time.”

“`

Picking up the spoils nearby, through the exploration of the Spirit and the Eye of Death, he quickly spotted the BOSS that had appeared.

“Damn it, if they don’t show up they don’t, but when they do, it’s a whole bunch swarming at once.”

A total of six LV80 Lord Bosses were currently ganging up on the Human-faced Demon Spider.

“As expected of Third Order BOSSes, they’re different, capable of cooperating and employing tactics like regular professionals.”

Just a casual observation allowed Zi Liyuan to spot the difference in these Lord Bosses.

They actually had tactics like professionals, understanding team cooperation and strategic combat.

Currently, two bulky Lord Bosses took positions on each side as tanks, attracting and leading the Human-faced Demon Spider’s aggro, while the other four Lord Bosses were scattered around, lunging at it with force whenever they saw an opening.

While Zi Liyuan was intently watching how the BOSSes were surrounding and killing the Human-faced Demon Spider, a sudden mutation occurred.

No more than ten meters away from Zi Liyuan, the ground violently shook and cracked open into a massive hole, from which a dark shadow burst forth, baring its gaping maw, lashing out and attempting to bite him.

“Roar! Woo~~?!”

The snarl had barely risen when the shadow had just approached, only to be met by Lao Tie’s huge iron fist, hitting its jaw with pinpoint accuracy, rendering it to let out a “woo woo” as its body was hammered back into the air.

The suddenly attacking shadow landed in the heap of creatures, toppling many over, but quickly stood up again, a set of blood-red eyes staring intently at Lao Tie.

At that moment, from the cracks of the ground, three more figures leapt out, closing in on Lao Tie and Zi Liyuan in a semi-encirclement.

“Holy shit, a Lord Boss ambush!”

These four monsters consisted of a huge Sand Worm that burrows through the earth, while the other three were Triple-headed Demon Wolves, all LV80 Lord Bosses.

Zi Liyuan realized that in total, ten Lord Bosses had appeared; not only had these guys joined forces, but they also knew how to use cunning strategies.

They first used the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain, drawing away the Human-faced Demon Spider, who had the highest template, and had six Lord Bosses surround and tie it down.

Then, the remaining four Lord Bosses burrowed underground, used Stealth to avoid Zi Liyuan’s exploration and perception, and launched a sneak attack.

Alas, these Lord Bosses were unaware that a higher template did not necessarily mean the strongest combat power.

Indeed, the Human-faced Demon Spider was an Epic Boss with the correct template and truly formidable strength, but compared to Lao Tie, it was still merely a trifling presence.

“Lao Tie, kill the wolves first!”

A colossal Bone Prison appeared in an instant, locking the Sand Worm inside and confining it within a dimensional space.

The LV15 Bone Spatial Prison had spatial barriers of 12.8 million, and for an LV80 Sand Worm to break through this thing and escape, it wasn’t going to be easy.

So essentially, the Sand Worm would be trapped inside the Bone Spatial Prison for one minute before being auto-released.

But that wasn’t all; Zi Liyuan used an Epic new equipment on the outermost Demon Wolf Boss, the “Queen’s Temptation”.

“Queen’s Kiss” activated, immediately dragging the Lord Boss into an illusion. If it wasn’t harmed, it too would fall under control for a whole minute.

As for the other two Demon Wolf Bosses, Lao Tie pinned each by the head, one in each hand, slamming them to the ground.

Might as well be passionately stroking their heads while holding them down.
