Chapter 40: little bear cub... It's Over
The moment a black substance that annihilated everything appeared, it enveloped everything within a ten-meter radius centered on Li Xiang.
At this instant, the World seemed to have turned on a mute button, and Li Xiang couldn't hear any sound.
It was terrifyingly quiet, so quiet that he could only hear the clear, strong beating of his own heart.
This feeling only lasted for a moment.
A moment later, the sound returned.
Dense, super-long damage numbers erupted across the entire field, obscuring the sky.
-486700-573500-486400-573900
-486800-573700-485800-574600
-485900-574400-487200-573800
...
"Ding! You have killed a Bronze BOSS 'Black Bear General' beyond your level, gaining 180408 experience and 2 BOSS points."
"Ding! You have killed a Gold BOSS 'Black Bear Chieftain', gaining 30638 experience and 8 BOSS points."
"Ding! You have killed a Bronze BOSS 'Black Bear General' beyond your level, gaining 180408 experience and 2 BOSS points."
"Ding! You have killed a Gold BOSS 'Black Bear Chieftain', gaining 30638 experience and 8 BOSS points."
...
"Ding! You have killed a Bronze BOSS 'Black Bear General' beyond your level, gaining 180408 experience and 2 BOSS points."
"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up. Your current level is: 20."
"Ding! Level-up reward: +5 Free Attribute Points."
"Ding! You have killed a Gold BOSS 'Black Bear Chieftain', gaining 712 experience and 8 BOSS points."
"Ding! You have killed a Bronze BOSS 'Black Bear General', gaining 164088 experience and 2 BOSS points."
...
After reaching level 20, the level gap was too large, and the experience gained from killing the Black Bear Chieftain directly plummeted to 712 points.
The kill notifications lasted for a few seconds before stopping.
But in these few seconds, over a hundred kill notifications appeared simultaneously, as if in vibration mode, almost numbing Li Xiang's ears.
【Ding! Divine-grade ability 'Blessing of the God of Combat' condition met: Attacking 'Black Bear Lieutenant' triggers a fatal blow!】
With over a hundred BOSSes killed, there were far fewer Monster figures within Li Xiang's line of sight.
Basically... the BOSSes were all instantly killed by this Root Devastation.
The rest were just some minor monsters.
As the BOSS crowd that was blocking the way was killed, the minor monsters behind finally had a chance to move forward.
"Ding! You have killed an Elite Monster 'Black Rage Bear', gaining 33 experience."
"Ding! You have killed an Elite Monster 'Black Mother Bear Follower', gaining 26 experience."
...
Due to the large level gap, the experience given was less and less...
During this time, the 'Blessing of the God of Combat' fatal blow condition was met again.
【Ding! Divine-grade ability 'Blessing of the God of Combat' condition met: Attacking 'Black Mother Bear Follower' triggers a fatal blow!】
Five minutes later, the Shining Radiance magic array ended.
Thousands of Black Bears fell under the Shining Radiance.
Finally, the Black Bear Overlord, whom Li Xiang had been watching, moved.
Its mountain-like body moved towards Li Xiang.
Along the way, all the Black Bears spontaneously cleared a path for it.
Soon, the Black Bear Overlord arrived twenty meters in front of Li Xiang and stopped.
"Human... You are very powerful..."
Li Xiang was stunned.
"Holy crap!!! This Monster can speak human language?!"
Li Xiang was shocked. Had the intelligence of Monsters reached such a level?!
"Human... You are very strong. Be my subordinate, and we will conquer this World together!!!"
The Black Bear Overlord's voice was laced with temptation.
But... Li Xiang didn't fall for it at all.
If you were a girl, good-looking, with a pleasant voice, dressed provocatively, and acting alluringly, maybe I would listen for a bit.
But you're a big guy standing here doing this!!!
Li Xiang's gaze fell on Space Movement.
Ten meters of movement space...
"No, still 10 meters short..."
Ending Swing can't reach...
"Human... You can't kill me... I have the Great Black Bear army... No matter how strong You are, You are still just one person!!!"
After the Black Bear Overlord finished speaking, it let out a roar.
Waves of ripples appeared from its body, and as these waves appeared,
The ground trembled.
A large number of Black Bears charged towards Li Xiang.
The number was no less than the previous wave of attacks, even more!!!
It's just that there were no BOSSes among them.
The Shining Radiance skill was gone.
With so many Monsters, once they blocked him, it would be difficult to get close to the Black Bear Overlord again.
Wind Seeker, activate!!!
Li Xiang's speed instantly increased tenfold, and his figure turned into an afterimage, charging against the Black Bear crowd towards the Black Bear Overlord.
"Kill him!!!"
The Black Bear Overlord roared, and a large number of Black Bears blocked Li Xiang's path.
Li Xiang brought down his staff.
Normal attack became area attack.
-7408
-17086!
Critical hit, Rage effect triggered, critical hit rate increased.
-0
Attacked, Counterattack and Counter Blood triggered.
-1365
...
Large swathes of kill notifications popped up.
"Ding! You have killed an Elite Monster 'Black Rage Bear', gaining 33 experience."
"Ding! You have killed an Elite Monster 'Black Mother Bear Follower', gaining 26 experience."
"Ding! You have killed an Elite Monster 'Great Black Bear', gaining 16 experience."
...
Li Xiang, who was caught in the Monster swarm, looked at the dense Black Bears around him, smacking his lips.
"If I can't get through, then I'll just stand here and grind Monsters."
"Although the experience is low, grinding more can also lead to a qualitative change."
After grinding for a while, Li Xiang fell in love with the feeling of grinding Monsters in place.
Anyway, these Black Bears couldn't break his defense.
However, the distance between him and the Black Bear Overlord was getting farther and farther.
Grind a wave of Monsters, then go fight the BOSS.
Just as Li Xiang made up his mind, the narration appeared.
【Brave adventurer... The Black Bear Overlord is about to leave here. If You can't stop it... You won't be able to find it again...】
Li Xiang's heart tightened.
Damn it!!!
This damn Diamond-grade BOSS can actually run away?!
Is the developer messing with people?!
Looking at the dense crowd of Monsters in front of him, Li Xiang knew that if he didn't use Space Movement now, it would be impossible to get close to and stop the Black Bear Overlord.
Instantly, Li Xiang activated the skill Space Movement!!!
His figure directly disappeared from his original spot, reappearing ten meters away.
The Black Bears at his original location lost their aggro target and stood still in confusion.
With Li Xiang's sudden appearance, the surrounding Black Bears immediately re-locked onto him and charged towards Li Xiang.
Li Xiang looked at the Black Bear Overlord in front of him. While the Black Bear crowd hadn't attacked yet and the effect of Wind Seeker was still active, he immediately charged towards the Black Bear Overlord.
A few seconds later, Li Xiang rushed to within six meters behind the Black Bear Overlord.
Li Xiang's fingers were frantically clicking the Ending Swing skill, but the screen full of 'Attack distance too far, cannot select target' let Li Xiang know that the distance was still a bit off!!!
Seeing Li Xiang approaching, the Black Bear Overlord suddenly picked up a boulder next to it and threw it at Li Xiang.
-9336!
A critical hit damage of nearly five digits appeared on Li Xiang, and the shield value of Guardian Shield was instantly emptied by a third.
And by taking advantage of the Black Bear Overlord's attack, Li Xiang approached the Black Bear Overlord by another meter.
The distance reached five meters!!!
Ending Swing still couldn't be used, but... Charge could be used!!!
Charge!!!
Li Xiang's body instantly shot forward.
The five-meter Charge distance was reached in an instant, but the Black Bear Overlord had already moved out of the five-meter Charge range.
However, at this moment, the distance between the two was less than half a meter!!!
The icon for the Ending Swing skill lit up.
"Hehe..."
"little bear cub... It's over!!!"
Ending Swing!!!
