Song Jian stared at Robert who had already rushed into the courtyard of the manor, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. The skill ‘Mind’s Eye’ activated, and instantly, a crimson crosshair appeared on Robert’s body, scanning up and down;
Finally, the crosshair rested on the skull of the war horse between Robert’s legs; this was its weak point;
The skill ‘Mind’s Eye,’ in addition to being able to mentally lock on targets, also has a 15% chance of discovering the opponent’s flaws and weaknesses. Song Jian’s mouth quirked up slightly; this Robert was indeed cunning;
If it were a normal boss, its weak point would definitely be on its own body. Unexpectedly, this Robert had placed his weak point on the war horse beneath him;
“Catapult, fire at Robert!” Song Jian directly controlled the catapult, launching a fierce assault at Robert;
The two front arrow towers have already been destroyed, and to repair them, they must wait until the end of the fight. The arrow tower on the rear wall of the manor had no line of sight and could not attack the front. Now, the only thing Song Jian could control were the three catapults on Manor Castle;
Cre-e-eak-
The catapult slowly raised its head, launching stones at a very exaggerated angle, which looked almost like it was being fired vertically;
Three stone balls shot into the air almost simultaneously, reaching their apogee before accelerating downwards;
At this time, Robert was already enveloped by the poison fog emitted by the Blood Ghost Poison Tree. The dark red poison fog, was like maggots gnawing at bone, sticking to Robert’s body as he moved;
The damage from the poison fog was not high, but it had an abundance of added negative effects;
“Weakness, corrosion, vampirism, scorching, defense reduction, strength weakening…”
A series of negative status effects appeared next to Robert’s name;
Swish swish swish-
Again, dozens of roots burst forth from the earth, entangling with the limbs of the war horse. The roots were extremely tough. Without using the Arc Slash skill, it would be impossible for Robert to escape their grip;
But he couldn’t possibly just abandon his war horse, he could only chop at the encompassing roots;
For every root chopped off, two more shot out from the earth. The incessant surge of roots evoked a sense of despair;
Boom boom boom-
Finally, the three stone balls fell from the sky. One of them smashed into Robert’s shoulder, almost knocking him off the horse. Song Jian chuckled slightly; this hit caused significant damage to Robert. Even to the naked eye, a large dent could be seen in Robert’s armor; With such an injury, Robert’s right shoulder might be disabled, if not, at the very least, the shoulder was probably broken;
His right hand was the one which held the longsword initially, now that his right shoulder was injured, it remained to be seen whether he could still unleash his Arc Slash skill;
The other two stone balls smashed brutally onto the horse’s body, one hit the horse’s buttocks and the other smashed onto the horse’s head;
The stone ball that hit the horse’s buttocks only caused about 100 points of damage to Robert, but the stone ball that smashed onto the horse’s head, not only dealt critical damage, but it also made the horse’s front legs buckle, causing it to kneel on the ground;
-110
-103
-280
Three damage numbers floated above Robert’s head. Song Jian’s eyes brightened. Robert’s vitality seemed to be linked to the warhorse. Damaging the warhorse was essentially harming the boss, Robert.
Three catapults were slowly reloaded. The catapults had a high attack power, but they had a long interval between each attack and a slow attack speed. If it weren’t for the poisonous fog enveloping Robert, it would be hard for the catapult attacks to hit him.
Even when the warhorse’s two front legs fell to the ground, Robert had no intention of dismounting. Instead, he desperately pulled the reins, trying to raise the warhorse again.
How could the Bloodthirsty Ghost Poison Tree miss this opportunity? Its roots and branches relentlessly whipped Robert and the horse. Even with the protection of the armor, the toxic branches corroded its defense bit by bit. A series of single-digit damage values emerged above Robert’s head.
The warhorse let out a neigh and stood up forcefully. Robert switched his sword to his left hand, and another arc of sword light shone. All the roots wrapped around him were chopped off. The Bloodthirsty Ghost Poison Tree had its roots cut off twice in a row. Its vitality points had dropped by more than half. Surprisingly, green numbers of “+3”, “+5” occasionally floated above the poison tree, evidently regaining vitality points.
Once free, Robert looked at Song Jian standing on the third floor of Manor Castle. His cold gaze was devoid of life, reminiscent of a dead man’s eyes.
“Well, he is a zombie, a dead man!” Song Jian felt a chill at being scrutinized but stubbornly glared back.
With a tug on the reins, Robert turned the horse around and charged at the Bloodthirsty Ghost Poison Tree.
Despite being a zombie, Robert, relying on his battle instinct, could sense that the Ghost Poison Tree was the strongest defense point in the entire Manor. Once it was taken down, the entire Manor would be exposed to his attacks.
“This guy is not stupid!” Song Jian’s heart sank, he furrowed his brow and vanished from the third floor of the castle.
Although the Blood-thirsty Ghost Poison Tree was a level six elite boss, it was still somewhat inferior to Robert. It could fight, but serving as a shield was a bit of a tough task.
Robert guided the warhorse to run just two steps before abruptly accelerating to the limit. His surroundings were filled with an aura, like a sports car revving its engine, once the brake is released, the speed jumps from zero to a hundred and eighty miles per hour.
The warhorse broke into a run, quickly like an arrow released from a bow.
The Ghost Poison Tree hastily extended all its roots, trying to entangle the horse again and prevent it from approaching. However, the fast warhorse didn’t care about the roots. All roots that tried to approach were torn to pieces by the aura surrounding the horse.
Boom-
With a loud crash, Robert fiercely rammed into the robust trunk of the Bloodthirsty Ghost Poison Tree. The tree’s vitality dropped drastically, leaving only about a fifth left.
The branches of the poison tree emitted a “creaking” sound of fracturing. A gigantic hole appeared on the tree trunk’s surface. The putrid smell of wood splinters filled the air, and a gush of a blood-like liquid spurted out from the tree trunk.
The Poison Tree let out a roar, its branches intertwined to form two sturdy arms. There was a rumble under the ground; the earth was slightly shaking as underground roots intertwined to form two huge legs.
With all its strength, the Poison Tree broke free from the soil’s confinement and stood up from the Spirit Field.
Roar-
Bo th arms tightened into fists and swung down from the sky like hammers, targeting Robert with a deep-seated growl.
Robert swung his left hand upward fiercely. His sword burst into dazzling white light that collided hard with the arms of the poison tree, Alex.
The warhorse under Robert let out a mournful whinny, its four legs trembled violently as if it couldn’t bear such a tremendous force. Robert’s sword also dug into Alex’s wooden-patterned arms.
At that moment, Song Jian’s figure appeared in front of Robert’s warhorse. The Tusk Fang Stinger in his hand was like a venomous snake, ruthlessly stabbing towards the horse’s head.
