The Song Gong River cut across the entire Doomsday City with many monsters lurking along its shore. Li Ke’er currently stood in the area where the level 15 monster “Mutant Rock Tortoise” resided.
Though the Mutant Rock Tortoise had high defenses, it moved slowly, making it an ideal target for a ranged fighter like Li Ke’er to kite around.
At this time, Li Ke’er, donned in vine armor and wielding an even more exquisite looking silver crossbow, left a beautiful trail of scattered silver lights in her wake as she moved.
“Ke’er!” Song Jian shouted from afar. By now, Li Ke’er had completed her main job quest, but Song Jian still couldn’t figure out what job she had become. He guessed she was some kind of ranged fighter, perhaps an archer.
“Little Brother Song Jian, hurry over! This giant tortoise is so tough. I’ve been hitting it for over half an hour!” Li Ke’er brightened noticeably at the sight of Song Jian, a radiant smile plastering her face.
Without wasting any time, Song Jian tightly gripped his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword and charged at the level 15 elite BOSS, the “Mutant RockTortoise Beast”. Broken Wing Dance!
In a dazzling flash, Song Jian sprinted forward and brutally hacked at the Mutant Rock Tortoise with his blood-red longsword.
-45
-48
A pair of damage figures, both below fifty, popped up over the Rock Tortoise’s head.
Caught off guard, Song Jian looked on, slightly baffled. His current attacks – even on a 20-level lord-level BOSS in Jinyang Lake – should yield higher damage than this.
Launching the third strike of Broken Wing Dance, Song Jian vaulted high into the air to deliver a fierce chop onto the Mutant Rock Tortoise Beast;
Boom!
A powerful wave of energy erupted from the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword. However, the beast was hardly affected. Far from being lifted off the ground, the tortoise’s massive limbs didn’t even shift.
“This giant tortoise is really tough to crack!” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise.
“Yeah, it’s super tough. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered you, Little Brother Song Jian!” Li Ke’er responded vigorously with an adorable nod.
“Despicable humans!” The Rock Tortoise Beast roared in fury, stomping on the ground and sending a ripple of energy wave in all directions, causing the earth to ripple like water and send up waves of dust.
With a powerful leap, Song Jian flung a Weakness Potion at the Rock Tortoise Beast while in mid-air.
The beast had formidable defenses, but the Weakness Potion could reduce them by 35%- It was the perfect tool against high-defense monsters.
Bang!
The potion shattered beneath the Rock Tortoise Beast, shrouding the mountain-sized beast in a grey mist before slowly dissipating, leaving a grey hue on its body.
Whoa!
With a startled exclamation, Li Ke’er lost her footing and was thrown into the air. Seeing this, Song Jian expedited his attacks, intending to divert the tortoise’s aggression from Ke’er to himself.
Sword Silk!
Sweeping Sword Style!
Spiritual Sword Control Technique!
Song Jian threw all his skills at the Rocky Tortoise Beast in one fell swoop, causing an instantaneous explosion of damage. The beast, which had just lunged at Li Ke’er, suddenly paused. Its eyes glowed blood red, and it turned its head, roaring at Song Jian.
Boom, boom, booin’
Like a heavily armoured truck, the Rocky Tortoise Beast charged towards Song Jian.
The power of the Spiritual Sword Control Technique remained unabated. Even though it didn’t cause the mutated Rocky Tortoise Beast to writhe in pain like those mentally deficient genetic zombies, it caused the beast to completely lose its sanity, becoming even more violent and wanting to tear the annoying human in front of it into pieces.
The Rocky Tortoise Beast rushed up to Song Jian, raising its mound-sized forelimb, and stomped heavily towards him.
Having been through so many fights, Song Jian wasn’t disturbed in the face of the mutated Rocky Tortoise Beast’s assault. With a thought, he immediately displayed the Sword Shadow Step, swiftly moving to the side of the Rocky Tortoise Beast, evading its tramping attack. He wielded the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword and frantically hacked at the BOSS.
Equally not to be outdone, Li Ke’er swiftly got up after landing, aimed at the mutated Rocky Tortoise Beast, and also began a full firepower attack. Various kinds of translucent crossbow bolts, each carrying different types of energies, were fired one after another at the beast. They were so fast that they appeared as a thin continuous line.
Time passed quickly. Song Jian fought while constantly drawing the Rocky Tortoise Beast’s ire, continually avoiding its attacks. On the other hand, Li Ke’er focused on aggressive, carefree offence. Half an hour later, the Rocky Tortoise Beast’s Vitality Points had dropped by one-fifth.
To Song Jian’s annoyance, the recovery rate of this Level 15 elite BOSS’S Vitality Points was not slow. Its Vitality Points recovered by eighty or ninety points every few seconds. If the damage wasn’t sufficient, it would not even be able to surpass the BOSS’S restoration rate, let alone defeat the BOSS.
Compared to other ordinary elite bosses, the mutated Rocky Tortoise Beast could recover more than seven hundred Vitality Points a minute, essentially negating the damage of two or three of Song Jian’s skill attacks. If it weren’t for the potent Weakness Potion, they would probably have been unable to drain even one-fifth of its Vitality Points in half an hour.
After fighting with high efficiency for more than half an hour, a trace of fatigue appeared on Song Jian’s face. At this moment, he had to avoid continuously not only to dodge but also launch frantic attacks. The high-intensity battle was quite draining, and if he wasn’t careful, he could be attacked by the BOSS.
Time passed by every second, and the Vitality Points of the mutated Rocky Tortoise Beast slowly decreased. Now that they had gotten used to its rhythm of attack, killing it was just a matter of time.
“Little Cheap Brother, I’m almost out of Spirit Points!” Li Ke’er suddenly shouted from afar.
Having been fighting for over an hour, Song Jian recognised that this was a war of attrition. So, he had very strictly controlled his spirit consumption. But now he was left with less than a third of his Spirit Points, not even enough to cast “Eye Killing”. Considering that Li Ke’er had managed to hold out until now, Song Jian was feeling quite pleased already.
“Then keep attacking it normally!” Song Jian replied, simultaneously summoning the Black Dragon Hatchling with a wave of his hand.
Although Li Ke’er’s normal attack damage was not bad, it was of no use against this massive Rocky Tortoise Beast. Each attack could only inflict a few tens of points of damage – even the BOSS’S self-healing speed was faster than this.
The difference was even more stark without Song Jian’s assistance.
When the Black Dragon Hatchling appeared, it let out a dragon’s roar, but the mutated Rocky Tortoise Beast appeared to completely ignore its Dragon Might. Its attacks did not weaken in the least, which made the Black Dragon Hatchling quite furious.
“Don’t you even respect me, a high-level beast?!”
The Black Dragon Hatchling blew a breath of hot Dragon Breath at the mutated Rocky Tortoise, but it was blocked by its heavy rock shell, leaving only a burnt trace. However, the real damage inflicted was very limited.
At this moment, the Rocky Tortoise Beast’s Vitality Points had fallen by two- fifths, almost half. Suddenly, it took a deep breath and let out an angry roar.
In the circle with a radius of around ten meters around its body, basketball-sized rocks appeared in the air. The surface of these rocks was burning with raging flames. At the Beast’s roar, these hundred fiery rocks, like a meteor rain, heavily dropped to the ground, leaving a long tail flame.
“Damn it, such a terrifying group attack skill?” Song Jian’s face changed drastically, unable to flee from the attack range, he could only resist it. For a time, explosions echoed around, engulfing Song Jian entirely.
