Chapter 286 - 286 Fish-head Monster Squad Leader
Song Jian squinted at the Level 15 Elite Boss.
“LV15 Fish-head Monster Squad Leader (Elite), Vitality Points:i8oo/i8oo, Spirit Points:200/200, Traits:Underwater attack damage increased by 30%; Skill: Fountain Ejection, Trident Throw”
With only 1800 Vitality Points, it seemed that this Fish-head Monster Squad Leader was not very powerful, likely at the bottom in comparison to other Level 15 Elite Bosses.
Looking around, Song Jian was hugely relieved to see that this Boss had come alone, with no other Fish-head monsters in sight.
A single Level 15 Elite Boss, one of the weaker among its kind, and with no small monsters accompanying it, was a gift delivered to his doorstep.
It must have heard the shout of the earlier defeated Fish-head monster and decided to investigate. Taking advantage of the fact that other monsters had yet to arrive, Song Jian would deal with this boss first.
With this in mind, Song Jian held the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword tightly, and charged towards the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader.
As they closed to about seven or eight meters, the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader suddenly raised its right hand, lifting the trident high. Song Jian abruptly halted, realizing that his opponent was about to use the “Trident Throw” skill.
As expected, with a ‘whoosh,’ the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader threw the trident directly towards Song Jian.
The trident, rusted and dirty, looked nothing much but turned incredibly fast in midair. It left a white trail, aiming harshly at Song Jian.
Song Jian swiftly sidestepped, and heard a loud ‘boom.’ The power of the trident had far exceeded his expectations. It had transformed the ground where he had stood into a crater with a diameter of over a meter.
The blast from the trident nearly tossed Song Jian into the air. A damage number in the thirties appeared above his head.
“Even from so far away, it caused damage! If I were closer to the center of the attack, wouldn’t I have lost three to four hundred Vitality Points?” Song Jian was shocked and instantly became more cautious.
The Fish-head Monster Squad Leader roared in frustration at not being able to kill Song Jian. With a gesture, the trident that had been stuck in the ground disappeared and reappeared in its hand.
Upon seeing the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader raising the trident again, Song Jian narrowed his eyes. “1 must not let it attack me indiscriminately!”
“Earth Teeth Assault!”
A canine-shaped mass of energy flew towards the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader. The Black Dragon fledgling, flapping its wings, and circled around a large area, then came out from the bush, it growled and spat Dragon Breath at the squad leader.
Upon seeing the Black Dragon fledgling, the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader began to tremble. It wailed loudly at the dragon, flapping its hand at Song Jian all the while.
Thunk, thunk-
Both Earth Teeth Assault and Dragon Breath had hit, making it roll forward and showing two damage numbers of above seventy points appearing on top of its head.
Feeling that it was unable to explain itself, the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader tightened its grip around the trident. It ignored Song Jian and turned to charge at the Black Dragon fledgling instead.
The Black Dragon fledgling flapped its wings, engaging the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader in a fierce and chaotic battle.
This time, the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader was emitting a faint red flame around its body. Seeing the Black Dragon Fledgling’s Dragon Might, it seemed to have developed some resistance. It looked as though it wanted to kill the Black Dragon fledgling.
Song Jian also charged forward with his sword. Although the Black Dragon fledgling was powerful, it was just a Level 9 Elite. It was clearly at a disadvantage against the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader. Many of its skills had been weakened due to the level difference, but the attacks from the Squad Leader actually had a level repression damage bonus.
If it wasn’t for Song Jian, the end result of this battle would surely be the Black Dragon fledgling becoming fodder for the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader.
With Song Jian’s participation, the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader was immediately at a disadvantage. It desperately resisted while calling for help, seemingly summoning other Fish-head monsters.
Song Jian felt a sense of urgency. He cast all skills except Immortal Sword Body without reservation, concentrating firepower aimed at killing this Boss in the shortest time possible.
Just when the Squad Leader’s Vitality Points were down to less than a third, suddenly, a thick stream of water erupted from the solid ground. It lashed out like a tentacle, forcefully launching the Black Dragon fledgling away.
The Black Dragon fledgling also had less than half of its Vitality Points left, and after being hit, its Vitality Points further dropped to less than a third.
Song Jian knit his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to recall the Black Dragon fledgling back into the Pet Space. The Black Dragon fledgling could slowly recover its wounds in the Pet Space. If it got killed here, the loss would outweigh the gain even if the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader was killed in return.
The water stream, which resembled a tentacle, continued to sway after launching the Black Dragon fledgling, and dissipated of its own accord, leaving no trace behind after three seconds.
Before Song Jian could rush over, the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader wielded the trident. A stream of water surged from the ground less than a meter ahead of it.
The Fish-head Monster Squad Leader looked at Song Jian with a cunning glint in its eyes. There was already a commotion nearby, and many Fish-head monsters were rushing to gather here rapidly. If it dragged on any further, Song Jian would end up having to beat a hasty retreat, trapping him.
Song Jian narrowed his eyes, and the vertical pupil in the center of his forehead opened wide. A silver column of light shot out, heading directly towards the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader.
Boom boom boom-
A wave of explosions echoed out as the silver pillar of light struck the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader. It seemed to burn like a fierce flame, causing continuous bomb-like sounds.
Consecutive damage numbers floated above the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader’s head and its vitality points were quickly dropping. It wanted to evade, but the silver column of light seemed to have a strong suction power, making it impossible to escape, forcing the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader to feel endless pain.
Bang!
At the end of the Eye-beam skill, the squad leader’s body was propelled backward, harshly colliding with the wall behind it.
Before it could get up, Song Jian rushed forward. With a whoosh, a dazzling silver sword qi bloomed from his index finger, he brought it down harshly. The harsh qi slashed directly at the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader.
Rip-
The Fish-head Monster Squad Leader’s body was split into two pieces from the shoulder down, its foul organs spewing everywhere.
Song Jian rushed forward, scooping up the few trophies that it had dropped, and sprinted towards the inner part of the district. At this time, a large group of Fish-head monsters had already started swarming frantically from the far end of the street. But by the time they reached the corpse of the Fish-head Monster Squad Leader, Song Jian had long disappeared without a trace.
