“Focus fire, aim all at that BOSS!” Yan Bo jumped back onto the wall, swiftly controlling the Arrow Tower on the wall to shoot at the BOSS, not allowing it to approach. If it did, even the Level 3 stone wall wouldn’t be able to stop its poison spray.
Song Jian also targeted the BOSS. The second rocket whistled out with a “Boom”, causing over a hundred points of critical damage and blasting off nearly half of the BOSS’S body.
“This BOSS’S defense is not that strong, huh? Two hits, two critical strikes?” Song Jian muttered to himself.
Severely injured, the BOSS roared. Around its body, a fierce tornado started, drawing in all the creatures within a three-meter radius.
At this point, the BOSS was among a horde of monsters, and there must have been twenty or thirty of them around it. Within a blink of an eye, it cleared the area, absorbing all the creatures into its body.
Slowly, green numbers with a “+3, +4” sign started floating above the BOSS’S head. Its Vitality Points began to slowly increase.
“This creature can increase its own health?” Everyone was instantly shocked when they saw this.
Song Jian immediately pulled out a can of “Red Bull” and started chugging, and his Spirit Points also started to recover slowly.
“Brother Song, keep it up!” Kong Ning, who was using a fruit stand as a safe house, shouted and threw an apple over.
Catching it, Song Jian saw that it was a food item which could recover Spirit Points. He was instantly delighted, as this was far better than increasing the Spirit Point recovery speed.
“Thanks!” Song Jian called out and started munching on the apple.
The food didn’t need to be completely consumed. All he needed was a few seconds of eating. In no time, Song Jian’s Spirit Points were fully restored. He tossed away the remaining apple, his vertical eye on his forehead slowly opened, and a dazzling silver beam shot at the BOSS.
Bang, bang, bang-
For five seconds, each second was accompanied by an explosion. A series of damage numbers popped up above the BOSS’S head, and its Vitality Points were rapidly dropping.
“Song… Brother Song, that’s amazing. Is it, the Eye of Erlang?” Yan Bo’s face was full of admiration.
Good grief, does having an extra eye on the forehead mean 1 am Erlang Shen, Song Jian didn’t even want to respond.
After five seconds, Song Jian looked a bit tired. However, he could feel that when casting the “Mind’s Eye”, the burden was gradually decreasing. It was as if the third vertical eye on his forehead was slowly adapting to his body and truly becoming a part of him.
“Implantation, implantation. Don’t tell me it’s going to become a part of my body like in the animated series,” Song Jian wondered.
“Song…Brother Song, it’s getting closer!” Looking at the increasingly approaching boss outside, Yan Bo felt the urge to turn around and run. The BOSS was terrifying and rather disgusting. It was like a large rotting pile of snot bubbles, continuously rolling on the ground.
The “Mind’s Eye” was Song Jian’s trump card, but even after this move, the BOSS’S Vitality Points were still approximately half.
“Wait for me, wait for me to recover my Spirit Points. Then I’ll hit it again, and it’s done!” Song Jian pulled out another can of “Jianlibao” and started chugging.
Woo woo-
Just then, an air-raid siren sounded from the sky. Looking up, six palm-sized toy planes were diving down from the sky targeting the Level 10 Elite BOSS.
Da da da da….
A burst of machine gun fire hit the BOSS, splattering pus from its body. Several points of damage emerged above the BOSS’S head. Furious, the BOSS spit out a foul-smelling toxic water towards the toy planes flying left and right.
One plane got drenched in the toxic water, smoke billowing out of it as it crashed into the horde of monsters, triggering a small mushroom cloud.
The remaining toy planes executed evasive maneuvers in the air, dodging skilfully. In no time, three bombers flew in from afar. Each bomber was the size of half a desktop, moving very slowly, but flying high, beyond the reach of the BOSS’S toxin spray.
The remaining five toy planes performed a beautiful curve in the sky, turned around, and continued to dive towards the BOSS. Their machine guns strafed causing more damage, knocking off over a hundred Vitality Points from the BOSS within moments.
The toy bombers also slowly flew over. Its bomb bay opened and bombs the size of marbles fell towards the BOSS.
Boom, boom, boom-
Several dozen bombs hit the BOSS, making it howl in rage. Its resentment towards these toy planes surpassed its hatred towards Song Jian. The BOSS’S gaze started tracking these toy planes.
After exhausting all their bombs, the three bombers slowly headed back. Just then, seven or eight tentacles shot out from the BOSS, wrapping the bombers and forcefully pulling them down.
The toy planes were, after all, not real planes, they were no match for the BOSS’S power. They were drawn into the BOSS’S body and slowly dissolved.
The toy fighters immediately performed tactical flying maneuvers, not daring to get too close. However, the BOSS seemed to have an endless number of tentacles, which densely filled the air like a tentacle monster. The few planes only held on for a dozen seconds before being tangled by the tentacles and pulled into the BOSS.
Everyone turned to look at the safe house built on the convenience store. Fu Dong shook his head with a pale face, indicating that there were no more toy planes.
“It’s such a pity. If we had a few more, maybe we could have taken down this BOSS.” Yan Bo said regretfully.
At this point, the BOSS only had less than three hundred Vitality Points left and was less than ten meters away from Yan Bo’s safe house. Based on the BOSS’S speed, it would reach the safe house wall in at most thirty seconds.
“Alright, leave the rest to me.” Song Jian tossed the empty can and picked up the Rocket Launcher again.
Whoosh, whoosh-
Two rockets, spaced three seconds apart, exploded on the BOSS’S body, inflicting over a hundred and fifty points of damage. Song Jian jumped off the wall, brandishing a dagger to kill a few nearby mutant zombies, a transparent light shield appearing on his body. He held off the monster attacks, and pressed his right hand on the ground.
Earth Teeth Assault!
A fang-shaped energy cluster rushed toward the BOSS, and all the monsters hit by the Earth Teeth Assault suffered over ten points of damage.
The Earth Teeth Assault hit the BOSS, just like the BOSS had stepped onto a Landmine. A large amount of pus exploded from its lower body.
Song Jian returned to the wall, checked his Mental Strength, and realized that only 55% had recovered. Although it was enough to cast the “Mind’s Eye”, there would only be 5% left after the casting. His head was bound to feel uncomfortable for a while.
“Song…Brother Song, it’s only got under a hundred Vitality Points left.” Yan Bo shouted excitedly.
Song Jian hesitated. It was not worth spending 50% more Mental Strength to use “Mind’s Eye” for that small amount of health. With a dagger, a few slashes would suffice. But close combat with such a putrid BOSS was rather…
Just as Song Jian was still undecided, a gunshot echoed from afar with a “Pang”. A large amount of pus splattered from the BOSS’S head. Its Vitality Points instantly dropped to zero, and it collapsed to the ground.
