Frost Crystal Cave, fourth floor. After this floor, they would face the final quest boss! As usual, Yang Qi went to scout ahead. This time, Yang Qi didn't fall into a trap. As soon as she exited the passage, she called out to Lin Zheng and the others.
Lin Zheng and the others walked out of the passage, and upon seeing the monsters in the cave chamber, they were all surprised! What huge monsters!
Frost Crystal Giants were the names of these monsters. Their level was 45. Their attack wasn't high, but their HP was very thick! The good news was that while these monsters had very high physical defense, their magic defense was extremely low! Coupled with them being heavy armor type monsters, magic dealt enormous damage to them! So, in the end, Lin Zheng and Yang Qi pulled the monsters, and Youxi outputted with all her might, clearing out the monsters on the fourth floor in less than half an hour!
The few of them leveled up again. Yang Qi happened to reach level 35, which was incredibly timely, as she could now equip the Frost Crystal Ring to attack the final quest boss!
"Why do I have a bad feeling? Damn it! My hairs are standing on end!" Yang Qi exclaimed, looking at the passage leading to the final boss.
"Bah, bah, bah! Stop being a jinx! We haven't even gone in yet! Disrupting morale, what crime is that!?" Lin Zheng said, annoyed.
"I just saw you all were nervous and wanted to lighten the mood!"
"You only make the atmosphere worse, you idiot! Less talk! Get in there and scout!"
"Looking at the size of the boss room, I bet there's only the boss. What's there to scout!?" Yang Qi said reluctantly, but she still drew her Jiaotu Sword and carefully walked into the passage.
"Everyone's in, it's just the boss, nothing else!" Yang Qi shouted in the team channel. Hearing this, Lin Zheng and the others finally entered the final boss room! When Lin Zheng entered the boss room and saw the boss, he was immediately stunned! This damn thing was too big!
In front of Lin Zheng was a gigantic monster resembling a divine dragon. The difference was that this boss's body was rather bloated, somewhat resembling a Western giant dragon. What was even more unusual was that this boss had two pairs of wings: one pair was blue feathered wings, while the other was made of ice frost! Of course, these weren't the most important things. The key was that the boss's size was simply too enormous! It was as tall as a story building even when lying down! Could this guy really be, as Yang Qi said, under level 50? Lin Zheng was skeptical!
So he quickly checked the boss's information.
Frost Crystal Dragon Beast: 4SS, Physical Attack 1640-2460, Magic Attack 1640-2460, Physical Defense 900, Magic Defense 750, HP 610000, Skills — Pounce of the Claw, Frost Breath! Originally just an ordinary ore-eating beast, it mutated after accidentally swallowing a Dragon Soul Grass formed from a divine dragon's essence, inheriting some of the divine dragon's abilities which it couldn't control. It is berserk and ferocious, the tyrant ruling the Frost Crystal Cave!
"It's an Dark Gold boss! This is big trouble now!" Yang Qi said, her face changing dramatically. She didn't need to say it; everyone knew it was big trouble! Even if the boss hadn't reached level 50 to impose a tier suppression on them, its abilities as a level 49 Dark Gold boss were enough to strike fear into current players! An attack upper limit of 2460! What kind of concept was that? With Lin Zheng's HP, just two hits! He would have to obediently return to Tianshuang City and draw circles!
"Liu Mang! How do we fight!?" Lin Zheng asked with a serious expression. Yang Qi bit her fingernails in frustration, ideas flashing through her mind but all being discarded! This boss room had nothing, no points to exploit! The boss also had magic attacks, making even kiting impossible! What on earth should they do!?
"Let's go for it!" Yang Qi said, biting off her nail fiercely, "Xiao Meng, lend me the Frost Crystal Sword Soul Armor first. For your Ganlu Pills, each of you keep 5, and give the rest to me!"
"Can you withstand it!?" Lin Zheng asked, very worried.
"We have to try! Besides, even if I can't, we have to go! This damned boss can only be killed by tanking it!" Yang Qi said through gritted teeth. Lin Zheng nodded, "Alright then, we'll do as you say!" With that, Lin Zheng gave his Ganlu Pills to Yang Qi. Xiao Meng also gave her Ganlu Pills, as well as the Frost Crystal Sword Soul Armor.
Clutching dozens of Ganlu Pills, Yang Qi still felt very uncertain facing the gigantic boss lying on the ground! This was originally something that should have required all the elites of a guild to handle! Now, she had to tank the boss's attacks alone! For this, Yang Qi could only express twelve points of agony! However, it wouldn't be as simple as agony later; who knew how painful it would be to be hit by that boss.
All sorts of depression and tension flashed through Yang Qi's mind in an instant. Yang Qi let out a loud shout, deciding not to think about it anymore; the more she thought, the less confident she became! Raising her Jiaotu Sword, Yang Qi roared and charged towards the boss. "Furious Slash!" Yang Qi's sword struck the boss's neck, -2110, a huge damage number floated up instantly. Yang Qi's attack power, equipped with the Jiaotu Sword, was truly too high! "Roar—!" The attacked boss roared, waking up from its slumber. Seeing the tiny human who dared to offend it, the boss roared furiously: "Insignificant human! How dare you harm me, the great divine dragon!"
“Bah! What kind of Divine Dragon are you? You’re just a Lizard with wings!” Yang Qi unceremoniously spat flower dew water on it, then mercilessly raised her Jiaotu Sword and chopped down again, “-1200!” “Roar—” The boss swiped a claw at her. The attack range was too wide for Yang Qi to dodge, so she took the full hit. “Bang!” With that strike, a terrifying “-2180” damage floated above Yang Qi’s head! At that instant, Lilith’s healing light descended, restoring over 700 HP. Yang Qi also ate a Ganlu Pill and some bread, then slashed at the boss with her sword, “-1340!”
“We can do this!” Yang Qi’s eyes gleamed. She now had nearly 6000 HP, a healer, and plenty of potions, so her HP recovery was very strong! As long as the boss didn’t instantly kill her, she could completely tank it and wear it down!
“Everyone attack! I’ve got the boss’s aggro!” Yang Qi shouted, striking with a Giant Sword Strike that made the boss stumble. At the same time, the effects of Armor Break and Golden Crow’s Claw activated, reducing the boss’s defense by 75% instantly. What a chance! Lin Zheng immediately rushed forward, performing a Low Kick! Stomp! These two attacks took off nearly 2000 of the boss’s HP. He then leaped back a few meters and used Flying Swallow Shot! With the boss’s defense greatly reduced, each hit could take off nearly a thousand damage! Xiao Meng swiftly moved forward and unleashed an Icy Sword Qi, causing two damage numbers to float above the boss’s head: “-4500,” “-3670!” This skill was incredibly powerful!
“Xiao Meng! Fall back! Your attack is going to draw the boss’s aggro!” Seeing the massive damage Xiao Meng dealt, Lin Zheng quickly shouted! Unfortunately, before Xiao Meng could run away, the boss erupted! “Insignificant humans, accept your judgment!” The boss roared, opening its massive maw and spewing white cold air. The cold air spread in a fan shape, engulfing Lin Zheng and the others! Instantly, their HP plummeted uncontrollably!
“Damn it!” Yang Qi cursed. If this continued, the entire team would be wiped out by this Frost Breath. They had to interrupt the boss’s breath attack. “Shadow Raid!” Yang Qi raised her sword and, *whoosh*! She charged forward, once again making the boss stumble, finally interrupting its Frost Breath. “Golden Crow Slash!” Yang Qi raised her sword, and the Jiaotu Sword erupted with scorching solar fire. “Caw—!” A resounding cry echoed as the flames transformed into a gigantic three-legged Golden Crow, noble and magnificent, spreading its wings and diving towards the boss. “Boom—!” A massive “-183000” damage floated above the boss’s head, and its entire body was engulfed in blazing solar fire, constantly taking thousands of damage. This was the effect of the solar fire, causing the boss’s HP to decrease by 1% per second!
“Get lost!” Seeing the boss about to swipe a claw at Yang Qi, Lin Zheng aimed an “Explosion” kick at the boss’s belly. “Bang!” The boss’s massive body was instantly kicked away, and “-8650” damage floated up. It was a critical hit! Explosion was still powerful! But compared to Yang Qi’s Golden Crow Slash, it paled in comparison! Golden Crow Slash was too dominant; it directly reduced the target’s HP by 30%, making it a divine skill for quickly killing bosses!
“Roar—” The boss, half-buried in shattered ice, roared as it crawled out of the ice. “Bang bang bang!” Its two menacing front claws heavily Stomped the ground. With a flap of its wings, it suddenly flew up. In mid-air, the boss’s claws emitted a chilling blue light and instantly pounced on Yang Qi!
Seeing that she couldn’t dodge, Yang Qi’s face changed drastically. She gritted her teeth and thrust out a Giant Sword Strike, attempting to use her attack to nullify the boss’s pouncing claw. Unfortunately, this move of the boss was too abnormal! “Bang!—” The boss’s claw struck down, Yang Qi’s attack was only blocked for less than half a second before being shattered, and then she was instantly killed by the boss’s claw, disappearing into white light without even leaving a corpse! However, the boss’s attack was not yet over. After that claw struck the ground, five blue energy streaks shot out with a “Whoosh—!” Instantly, Xiao Meng and Lilith were all hit, and they too disappeared into white light without leaving any corpses!
“Damn it! Damn, damn, damn!” Lin Zheng cursed in shock. What kind of Pouncing Claw was this? It was too abnormal! Yang Qi had nearly 6000 HP! She was instantly killed! Then who could possibly kill this monster at this stage?!
“Youxi! Run! Don’t make a pointless sacrifice! We can’t beat this guy at all!” Lin Zheng shouted while shooting at the boss. Not far away, Youxi, who hadn’t been affected by the Pouncing Claw, calmly watched Lin Zheng. Soon, Lin Zheng ran to Youxi’s side and saw that she showed no intention of moving, so he couldn’t help but grab her hand, “I told you to go, why aren’t you going? Are you waiting to be killed here?!”
“No need to go!” Youxi said softly.
“No need your head! Liu Mang with his thick HP was instantly killed, do you think just the two of us can kill this pervert?!” With that, Lin Zheng was about to drag Youxi away, but to his surprise, Youxi slowly raised the staff in her hand. Instantly, the entire boss room turned grayscale…
