Chapter 15: Dueling the Mother of Worms

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

No one refuted Xia Jinyao’s words. Even Tang Zhen was speechless. He regretted provoking him!

At the entrance of the Worm Dungeon, Zhang Xuan was less than 20 meters away from the dungeon. The number of Mutated Worms that crawled out of the dungeon was also increasing.

However, the more the number increased, the happier Zhang Xuan laughed!

[HP -2,557]

He killed a Mutated Worm with a single slash, and before the unlucky ones around it could figure out what had happened, they were all crushed into pieces!

Every time Zhang Xuan attacked with his sword, he could clear out a 5-meter empty area. As long as the monsters within the area were within range, they would die instantly without exception and suffer higher damage!

“He seems to have an area-of-effect attack.”

A Warrior in the spectator stands spoke. As a Warrior, he also had a chance to trigger an area-of-effect skill, but it was definitely not as ridiculous.

The others also had some understanding, but which Warrior could attack within a five-meter range? Moreover, he could kill a group of monsters with one sword. What was the difference between this and using a nuclear bomb to attack?

Xia Jinyao watched silently. While she was shocked, she seemed to understand the general pattern. Every time, Zhang Xuan would choose the monster in the middle of the area to attack.

Other monsters within a certain range of this monster would receive about 20% more damage than the main body.

Combined with the thousands of normal attack damage that were continuously stacked, Xia Jinyao really didn’t dare to imagine how terrifying the damage could be stacked against an unlimited number of monsters!

Soon, Zhang Xuan arrived near the entrance.

At this moment, the few dancing tentacles suddenly moved. He was accidentally pulled in by the tentacles!

This scene made Jiang Shuai’s heart turn cold. Xia Jinyao, who was on the other side, also covered her mouth with disbelief.

Why did he want to die?

Her teammates were all petrified.

“He’s stupid. Why would he throw his life away when he’s so fierce?”

“I don’t know. Maybe this is the stubbornness of a big shot?”

“If I remember correctly, that tentacle is the Mother of Worms’ insta-kill skill. Normally, one has to dodge it. Can he still live?”

“That’s absolutely impossible.”

No one could understand Zhang Xuan’s suicidal behavior. Xia Jinyao thought so too. She couldn’t understand why he was deliberately sending himself to his death.

In the dark and damp underground tunnel, a severed tentacle lay beside Zhang Xuan. From the information Jiang Shuai provided, Zhang Xuan knew that it was from the Mother of Worms.

The tentacle only dealt 1 point of damage to him. The tentacle’s retracting speed was very fast.

However, Zhang Xuan’s normal attack was released when he was dragged to the ground, successfully cutting off the tentacle. Moreover, after he cut off the tentacle, the passive damage reduction effect was fully recovered.

“Roar–”

Vaguely, Zhang Xuan seemed to hear an angry roar coming from the front of the tunnel. It seemed that he would encounter the Mother of Worms at the front.

Originally, he had planned to kill the monsters while stacking his passive, but there was not a single Worm in the entire tunnel. It was very clean.

He had no choice but to move forward quickly. If there were any traps along the way, it would be quite troublesome for him. He could be immune to normal attacks and reduce skill damage, but he could not ignore the traps.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth. Zhang Xuan did not encounter any monsters blocking his way. Soon, he arrived at a huge purple space.

With the help of the weak light, Zhang Xuan saw an eye as huge as a cow!

The eye immediately caught sight of Zhang Xuan. Then, in the pitch-black space, a huge body suddenly rushed over!

Miss!

Zhang Xuan was dragged by something and thrown into the deep pit. At this moment, the surroundings flickered with light, finally bringing a limited amount of light.

He also saw the true face of the Mother of Worms.

[(Boss) Mother of Worms: Level 15]

[Status: Berserk (Immune to control)]

[HP: 120,000]

[Attack: 5,000]

[Defense: 1,054]

[Agility: 7]

[Skills: Tentacle Whip, Worm Roll, Devour]

The Mother of Worms was nearly eight stories tall, and its entire body was fleshy yellow. It only had one eye, and around it were a few ferocious mouths that were drooling.

Under its worm form, it had a pair of strange-shaped hands, and each finger had a long tentacle extending out.

However, there was one finger that didn’t have any tentacles. Some liquid could be seen dripping down. This should be the finger that Zhang Xuan had cut off.

The first thing Zhang Xuan thought was a word: ugly!

It was so ugly. The scorpion from before was ten thousand times better looking than it!

However, at this moment, the two tentacles wrapped Zhang Xuan up and sent him into one of the mouths. Just as the two tentacles were about to send him into the mouth, Zhang Xuan raised his greatsword.

In the next moment, he broke free from the tentacle, and at the same time, his greatsword slashed at the tentacle!

[HP -421]

As the damage figures appeared, a tentacle fell.

“Screech–”

The Mother of Worms let out a strange cry in pain, and its body was also somewhat distorted. Its already ugly appearance was even more difficult to look at.

The tentacles and the Mother of Worms’ main body were independent, so the Mother of Worms was not injured. However, its other tentacles began to dance and rushed toward Zhang Xuan!

The tentacle was extremely long, but it was not fast. When Zhang Xuan was ready for the next attack, the tentacle was only five meters away from him.

This was also Zhang Xuan’s attack range!

Zhang Xuan appeared above a tentacle. A number of nearly 800 appeared, and another tentacle broke off.

The pained Mother of Worms immediately lost its rhythm, and its tentacles began to wave without any order. Zhang Xuan took the opportunity to quickly approach the Mother of Worms.

“Ugh! Has this thing never taken a shower?”

As soon as Zhang Xuan got close, he was hit by an unpleasant smell. It was a pity that he was not immune to the poison gas. Now, he could only endure it!

[HP -600]

After two stacks of normal attacks, it should have caused more than 1,200 damage, but the defense of the Mother of Worms was too high.

At this moment, the Mother of Worms felt that it was being attacked. A few of its tentacles danced and approached Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan cut off another tentacle and approached it again while it was in chaos.

[HP -1,000]

This time, Zhang Xuan had a rough idea. Currently, he could stack 200 damage with each attack. Although the damage stacked at one time was relatively small, Zhang Xuan had plenty of time to slowly waste on this thing!

The next thing he needed to pay attention to was the Mother of Worms’ skill, Worm Roll. This should be a large-scale damage skill. When the time came, he had to pay attention to avoid it and avoid breaking the passive layer.

[HP -2,522]

[HP -1,400]

[HP -3,755]

[HP -1,800]

…After a few rounds of this cycle, the tentacles of the Mother of Worms were finally cut off, and its huge body fell toward Zhang Xuan!
