Mu Chen frowned. He disliked trouble, so he prepared to leave quickly when that group of people arrived.
But clearly, Mu Chen underestimated the other party's speed. In just a few breaths, that group of people appeared before him.
When he clearly saw who had arrived, Mu Chen was slightly startled. Weren't these the people he had seen earlier through the Skeleton Knight?
According to the strength of this small team, and still being on the outskirts of the Jungle, dealing with the monsters here should be easy. Why did they look so disheveled?
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a roar attracted Mu Chen's attention. When he clearly saw the source of the sound, Mu Chen instantly understood why these people were fleeing!
It was a Minotaur, standing three meters tall, with the head of a bull and the body of a man. Its muscles were bulging, and its fists were the size of bowls. It seemed that anyone with low defense could be smashed to death with one punch.
Mu Chen looked at the Minotaur speechlessly. It was obvious that this Minotaur was an elite monster spawned in the Mist Jungle.
He truly didn't know if Chu Mu's small team was lucky or unlucky. He had painstakingly searched for several hours and hadn't even found a trace of an elite monster, yet this small team had run right into one!
It's just that they were a bit unlucky; they simply couldn't defeat this obviously overly powerful elite monster!
【Minotaur (Elite)】
【Level: 25】
【Strength: 728】
【Agility: 260】
【Stamina: 312】
【Spirit: 260】
【Skills: Brute Force Stomp (lv.25), Summon Minotaur Demon (lv.25)】
【Brute Force Stomp (lv.25)】Activates the power of a savage bull, doubling Strength and Stamina attributes, while halving Agility and Spirit.
【Summon Minotaur Demon (lv.25)】Summons 10 level 25 ordinary Minotaur Demons to assist in combat. Minotaur Demon attributes are the same as ordinary Minotaur Demons.
As expected of an elite monster, not only were its attributes greatly improved, but it also came with two innate skills!
Especially the first skill, doubling Strength and Stamina attributes, directly made this Minotaur both tanky and capable of dealing damage.
Only its Spirit and Agility were reduced, which made this Minotaur's defense against spells somewhat average, and its movement speed would also become very slow. This was also why Chu Mu and his team could escape for so long.
The second skill was relatively ordinary, merely summoning 10 small Minotaur Demons of the same level. These Minotaur Demons were at most a bit troublesome, but also relatively easy to deal with!
"Don't just stare, run!"
Chu Mu, who was frantically fleeing, was first startled when he saw Mu Chen, then he reminded him while running.
However, when Chu Mu saw the few Skeleton Soldiers in front of Mu Chen, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
Soon, Chu Mu knew where his familiar feeling came from, because Mu Chen had summoned all his Skeleton Soldiers, and Chu Mu immediately spotted the Skeleton Knight that had appeared before.
"You all run, my target is it!"
He made the Skeleton Soldiers clear a path, otherwise, if these guys charged over, they would probably directly draw the Skeleton Soldiers' aggro.
Chu Mu wasn't ambiguous. Without another word, he directly led his people past, but they didn't go far, instead watching Mu Chen from a distance.
Mu Chen was too lazy to bother with Chu Mu's actions. Instead, he calmly watched the Minotaur charging towards him.
"Kill him!"
Mu Chen pointed at the Minotaur.
The Skeleton Priest was the first to raise its staff, activating Dark Baptism. Instantly, a black shield appeared on all the Skeleton Soldiers, including Mu Chen, and at the same time, their various attributes were also greatly increased.
Immediately following, 8 Skeleton Knights, riding their bone horses, simultaneously launched Knight Charge.
Closely behind them, the Skeleton Warriors, each having activated their berserk state, glowed with flowing light as they charged forward, wielding their long blades.
A Wraith Entanglement from the Skeleton Warlock instantly froze the Minotaur, followed closely by bone arrows shimmering with a pale white glow, which were Annihilation Arrows shot by the Skeleton Archer.
Before the Skeleton Knights could charge forward, an overwhelming barrage of attacks landed on the Minotaur.
The Minotaur screamed repeatedly, but it was unable to move due to the restrictions of Wraith Entanglement. However, even if it could move, it wouldn't be able to dodge such a dense rain of arrows.
Roar!
The Minotaur suddenly roared, and then its entire body grew larger by a segment. Clearly, in its rage, it finally unleashed its innate skill, Brute Force Stomp!
The damage dealt by the Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Warriors to the Minotaur's body instantly decreased significantly. Clearly, the increase in Strength and Stamina gave this Minotaur a much more powerful physical defense capability.
However, it was a pity that the Skeleton Soldiers summoned by Mu Chen were not purely physical professions!
The Skeleton Warlock instantly cast Corrosion Art on the Minotaur, and immediately the Minotaur's skin began to fester, causing the Minotaur to roar in pain again and again.
Then, the Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Warriors desperately hacked at the wounds created by the Corrosion Art. The Minotaur, whose restraint time had not yet ended, could only roar in vain.
However, at this moment, Mu Chen's expression did not relax; instead, it became much more solemn. According to records, common elite monsters possess an undetectable hidden skill.
This hidden skill is only triggered at the most critical moment because releasing it will put the elite monster into an extremely Weaken state. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, elite monsters will not release this skill!
And now, this Minotaur could be considered to have reached a desperate situation. If it didn't release its skill now, it might never have another chance to release it!
Sure enough, a moment later, the Minotaur's eyes suddenly turned crimson. Mu Chen's expression was solemn; he knew this Minotaur was about to make its final struggle!
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave emanated from the Minotaur, instantly sending the Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Warriors that had surrounded it flying.
Mu Chen wasn't too worried at the sight, after all, these Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Warriors had extremely high attributes, so this much damage was nothing to them.
The Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Warriors instantly got up again and charged towards the Minotaur Demon, but before they could get close to the Minotaur, its body instantly turned crimson, as if it had donned a blood-colored armor. At this moment, Mu Chen also saw that a new skill had appeared in the Minotaur's attributes.
【Frenzy (lv.25)】Causes self to enter a frenzy state, removing all skill cooldowns and all negative effects on the body (including negative effects caused by self-released skills), granting immunity to all physical damage for 10 seconds. After the effect ends, enters a Weaken state for 12000 seconds, with all attributes reduced by 99%.
Mu Chen's expression changed slightly. Even though he was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked by the skill's effect. As expected of a desperate skill, although the cost was huge, the resulting effect was also extremely terrifying!
Mu Chen directly ordered the Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Warriors to retreat. After all, being immune to all physical damage for 10 seconds meant there was no value in sending them in!
At this point, only magic-based professions could be relied upon. As long as they could hold off the Minotaur for 10 seconds, everything would be over!
"Explosive Arrow!"
Under Mu Chen's command, the Skeleton Archer rapidly shot out Explosive Arrows. Because these Explosive Arrows carried a forced knockback effect, and most crucially, they dealt magical damage, the Minotaur in its frenzy state was completely unable to immune them!
The Minotaur roared frantically, but its body was constantly pushed backward by the Explosive Arrows hitting it.
And the Minotaur Demons that the Minotaur continuously summoned could not cause any trouble under the close cooperation of the Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Warriors.
Soon, 10 seconds passed, and the aura around the Minotaur instantly weakened. The Minotaur unwillingly glanced at Mu Chen, then its massive body crashed to the ground.
This was only possible for Mu Chen; if it were anyone else, let alone a solo challenge, even a team would likely find it difficult to pass.
