Seeing Song Jian summon so many allies to help him, Feng Kai’s face immediately showed an expression of joy. However, upon inspecting the levels and attributes of these “allies”, a disappointed look quickly replaced his joy.

“These level-seven and level-eight creatures. They’re not even fit to be cannon fodder, what use can they be?” Feng Kai quietly mused to himself, but he didn’t dare to voice his criticisms in front of Song Jian.

“Use them anyway you like, it doesn’t matter if they all die!” Song Jian, noticing Feng Kai’s displeasure, quickly offered consolation.

“Okay, okay, boss!” Feng Kai replied, forcing a smile and nodding his head.

At that moment, the Zombie Boss once again rose amid the crumbling bricks, charging towards Song Jian.

“Hold it back!” Song Jian yelled.

Although Feng Kai had been attacking the Boss, Song Jian’s damage was clearly much higher. The Boss’s hatred had long been firmly set on Song Jian, making it quite a challenge for Feng Kai to lure it away.

“Boss, why don’t you hold it off for fifteen seconds while I set up a landmine?” Feng Kai quickly suggested, shouting out his idea.

Before even waiting for Song Jian’s response, Feng Kai began setting up a landmine in the center of the vacant area before the Physics Building.

The power of infantry landmines is formidable, but once placed, they can’t be moved. Monsters must be lured into the trap, setting off the explosion.

The act of deploying infantry landmines also required time, making it a restrictive weapon to use.

Song Jian, who was originally about to charge into the Physics Building, turned his head back to glower at Feng Kai. However, as Feng Kai was concentrating on placing the landmines, he failed to catch Song Jian’s threatening gaze.

Fifteen seconds passed in a flash. Song Jian, gritting his teeth, engaged in combat with the Boss. He dared not continue attacking and attracting its attention, he could only desperately block its onslaught. By the time Feng Kai had finished setting up the landmine, Song Jian’s vitality points had already dropped to less than half.

“Aren’t you done yet?” Song Jian asked, his face pale.

“Done, done.” Feng Kai wiped the sweat off his forehead and shouted loudly, “Boss, lead it over here; be careful not to step on it yourself!”

Song Jian immediately turned pale. At his current vitality points, if he were to step on it, it would mean instant death.

Aiming to help Song Jian, Feng Kai had marked a red circle around the landmine out of fear that Song Jian might not see it. After slight hesitation, Song Jian decided to use the “School Flag” to designate Feng Kai as his temporary teammate.

Instantly, a white halo similar to the one under Song Jian’s feet appeared under Feng Kai. This was the bonus from the Brilliant Aura, which directly increased Feng Kai’s damage output.

Simultaneously, the faint image of the landmine Feng Kai had deployed also appeared before Song Jian’s eyes. Just as Feng Kai had marked it, the landmine was right in the middle of the red circle.

Seeing the image of the landmine gave Song Jian some calm. The power of infantry landmines had left a deep impression on him, and he was now a bit fearful of it.

Clang!

The Zombie Boss raised its massive silver sword, and the cold energy above its head condensed into several transparent long swords.

“Eight Directions Soul Extinguishing Sword!”

The Zombie Boss let out a roar, and the transparent long swords on its head shook slightly, making a humming noise, as if they were preparing to launch.

Song Jian felt a chill down his spine, a hair-raising feeling of terror. Like a frog being watched by a snake, he felt like he could be caught and swallowed at any moment.

At this moment, the sense of danger the Zombie Boss gave Song Jian far exceeded that of the level twenty elite Boss, Ghoul Beast.

Song Jian said nothing, turned around and headed to where the infantry landmine was located. Now, he had to shift the Zombie Boss’s hatred onto something else so he could enter the Physics Building and search for the task items.

With a “boom,” he pressed hard against the ground, causing two bricks on the ground to shatter, and rushed towards the Physics Building like an arrow.

“Die!”

The Zombie Boss squeezed out a silhouette from its throat, and, with a swing of its huge silver sword, the condensed cold long sword turned into a series of white light laces, shooting at Song Jian like guided missiles.

Boom, boom, boom~

Explosions echoed everywhere, and the vacant lot not far away seemed to have been plowed. The brick-paved floor was blasted into crushed stone, and large sections of soil were turned over by the explosion.

Song Jian was tossed aside by the explosion. Dirt and blood covered his body as he lay face-up on the ground. If not for his slightly undulating chest, Feng Kai would have thought Song Jian was already dead.

“Boss, boss…” Seeing Song Jian’s miserable state, Feng Kai didn’t dare to approach. The Blood Crows and Blood Zombies standing behind him were also frozen in place, unmoving.

The Zombie Boss slowly walked towards Song Jian. It could sense that Song Jian was still alive and was intent on delivering the killing blow to eliminate all threats.

About three to four meters away from Song Jian, was the infantry landmine placed by Feng Kai. As the Zombie Boss approached, a red glow began to eminate from the surface of the infantry landmine, rippling outward in waves.

The diameter of the glow was about a foot in length. As long as the Boss stepped into this range, it would trigger the landmine explosion.

Song Jian struggled on the ground, trying to stand up, but he was unable to. His body was covered in blood and dust, and even his face was obscured by grime.

Watching the Boss, Song Jian was constantly adjusting his position, slowly moving away from the infantry landmine.

When the Boss was less than a meter away from the infantry landmine, Song Jian suddenly pulled out a potion and threw it at the Boss.

Weakness Potion!

With a bang, the potion shattered at the feet of the Boss, the dust from the medicine bottle covered the Boss.

The next moment, the Boss stepped into the glow of the infantry landmine.

Boom!

With a loud noise, a powerful explosion roared under the Boss’s foot. One of its robust legs was blown apart, spinning off to the side.

A piercing scream resounded. The surrounding temperature dropped by a dozen degrees, and snow even began to fall from the sky, covering an area of several tens of meters.

The moment the infantry mine was triggered, Song Jian quickly sprung from the ground and dashed towards the Physics Building. As he brushed past Feng Kai, he gave Feng Kai a “you know” look.

At the same time, the previously motionless Blood Crows and Blood Zombies started to swarm the Zombie Boss. Despite their low levels and weak power, their sheer number could consume some of the Boss’s time.

The power of the infantry mine was unexpectedly formidable, and it successfully shifted the Zombie Boss’s hate towards Feng Kai.

Feng Kai let out a loud shout, and a spear emerged from his back. He grabbed the spear and lunged towards the Boss.
