“Sorry for the inconvenience.” Li Yao took out his heavy crossbow, summoned the Fire Hawk, and more than a hundred Silver Ghosts rushed halfway up, with ranged skeletons in the back constantly casting spells.
Viper Stings!
Arcane Shot!
Charge Shot!
Pop, pop, pop…
Three Arrow Towers were placed beside him, from which the ranged lightning arrows were cast.
The turtle boss was instantly covered by attacks as numerous as the stars in the sky.
-658-657-321-332-325-356…
The damage reduction of the turtle boss had a terrifying ability, Li Yao’s attacks could only cause six hundred damage.
“You damn Undead, your existence is a blasphemy against the temple.” Despite being completely driven to madness, he still considered the temple as his home.
Mokerui crunched and pulverized a melee skeleton charging towards him, instantly killing it with no suspense.
Watching this, Li Yao felt a twinge of stress. If it could kill a silver-ghosted skeleton in an instant, he would definitely be killed too, without any suspense.
However, the output of hundreds of Silver Ghosts plus Li Yao’s was absolutely terrifying, with just one round of attacks, the boss’s HP had plunged nearly by ten thousand.
He was achieving this result because the turtle boss took more melee physical damage. If this continues, theoretically speaking, it would only take eight rounds of attacks to definitely kill the boss.
According to the Silver Ghosts’ attack speed of two seconds per round, it would only take sixteen seconds for this boss to be killed.
However, this was only a theory. By the time Li Yao’s Silver Ghosts had completed the second round of attacks, the boss’s HP had already plummeted to one hundred and sixty thousand.
“You’ve angered me.”
An electric arc blinked on Mokerui’s body.
Thunderclap Trample!
A lightning shockwave centered on the turtle boss caused a large number of cracks. Nearly fifty Silver Ghost skeletons suddenly collapsed collectively.
Fragments of bones flew everywhere, it gave Li Yao’s heart a jolt, this guy was definitely not an ordinary foe. An old turtle, it was insane enough that his defense was, but his attack was also so sharp.
Thinking about it made Li Yao even more regretful. If he could capture this turtle as a pet, he could effortlessly fight monsters up to level twenty with this turtle’s help.
Unaffected, Li Yao became even more cautious. The turtle boss slowly advanced towards Li Yao.
While Li Yao retreated, he commanded the remaining ranged skeletons to attack and retreat at the same time, slowly chipping away at the turtle boss.
Although he lost fifty melees, the output from the ranged was still fierce. The turtle’s movement speed was seriously lacking, which could also be due to it being injured.
But the heavy output from fifty ranged was still incredible, the turtle boss’s HP was steadily decreasing, and soon its HP had fallen to sixty thousand.
Ding ding ding ding, pop pop pop…
The turtle boss’s head and limbs retracted into the turtle shell, with all attacks on him only causing tens of damage. Even Li Yao’s damage could not break a hundred.
“What a freakish defense, it’s so painful to have to kill such a good pet myself.”
However, the turtle shell slowly began to rotate, then gradually sped up. And as it spun faster, all attacks were being deflected from the rotating turtle shell.
Spinning Crash!
Humming…
The turtle shell moved quickly like a whirlwind, charging towards Li Yao like a flash of lightning.
“Oh man.”
Li Yao was startled, although he had been prepared, the speed of the turtle shell was too fast for him to react with any other moves or skills, so he could only use Intimidation.
Boom…
Li Yao was blasted off like a kite with a broken string, splashed into the water, and then the monsters in the water immediately rushed towards him.
As Intimidation is guaranteed to block 100% of physical attacks, Li Yao’s HP did not decrease. But he felt like he had been run over by a truck, and if this were not a game, he felt he would’ve thrown up violently.
Li Yao hurriedly used Shadow Roll to scramble towards the island. He didn’t have any life-saving skills right now. Once the Intimidation finished, he wouldn’t be killed by the boss, but the monsters in the water would definitely kill him instantly.
A group of Murlocs were chasing after Li Yao, who was using Shadow Roll to escape. If not for that, he would have been caught long ago.
On the island, the turtle shell, swirling like a whirlwind, had become a real truck, continuously crashing around.
Although Li Yao had already ordered the ranged skeletons to scatter, these skeletons were still being smashed to pieces like bowling pins.
The entire cave echoed with the sound of shattering bones. As soon as Li Yao landed on the island, the turtle shell rushed back at him from afar. Li Yao jumped up violently, the turtle shell was only a few yards away from his feet, spinning rapidly.
Li Yao found out that the Magic Spider Silk couldn’t reach a stalactite pillar with falling water from the cave ceiling.
“Damn the Aerial Ban Array.” Li Yao saw the turtle shell had crushed the Murlocs chasing him into mire.
If he came down now, he would definitely be killed instantly by the turtle shell when it returned. Moreover, the Intimidation duration had passed, he couldn’t withstand the boss’s attack now.
“Fire Hawk.” Li Yao came up with a brilliant idea, mentally connecting with the Fire Hawk, which dived down towards his feet like a falcon preying on a rabbit.
Li Yao jumped off the back of the Fire Hawk, which almost fell back to the ground before stabilising himself.
The spinning turtle shell barely passed by the Fire Hawk, which was thrown into the air by the strong wind pressure. It twirled in mid-air before finally leaving a deep gully on the ground.
The Fire Hawk’s HP was reduced by half, but luckily it didn’t die. If it had been hit properly by the turtle shell, it would’ve been crushed just like the skeletons.
Whether by size or weight, combined with the huge inertia from the turtle’s rapid spinning, the collision would have been disastrous for the Fire Hawk.
Moreover, after being eroded and enhanced by the Fel Corrosion, the normally smooth turtle shell has grown large spikes, as if it has sprouted new weapons.
As for Li Yao, after jumping off the Fire Hawk, he activated the Magic Spider Silk.
The Magic Spider Silk stuck to a stalactite pillar and Li Yao took out a climbing pick and hooked it to the top of the cave.
Li Yao wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead, it was a death-defying moment. It was his first encounter with the actual boss, not an image from the Shadow Realms.
Although killing the turtle boss for the first time was bound to yield a lot of loot, the physical boss was much stronger than projected images from the Shadow Realms.
Li Yao had no choice but to continue hanging there while the Fire Hawk, after struggling, took off again, avoiding the turtle boss’s charge.
Li Yao quickly casted Pet Heal on the approaching Fire Hawk, then threw out a Mechanical Part. The Fire Hawk’s HP began to recover, soon it was fully healed.
With the boss’s continuous collisions, all of the hundreds of skeletons summoned by Li Yao had turned into broken bones, not even a complete skeleton remained, it was truly a dreadful sight…
