Chapter 29: Heaven Vault’s Boss’ Ambush

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the battlefield.

Most of the platforms at the two ends of the canyon had been destroyed, and there were still a few giant tentacles scattered on them.

“Everyone, hold on! Priests, pay attention to the low HP members!”

Jiang Dalong’s fist landed on the boss’ eye, dealing close to 40,000 damage!

[HP -42,445]

“Ji!”

The injured boss let out a cry, and the remaining tentacles swept towards Jiang Dalong. Jiang Dalong could not dodge in time, but a few layers of solid shields instantly appeared on his body.

Bang!

With the shield shattered, Jiang Dalong immediately took the opportunity to adjust his position. Seeing that the boss’ huge body was about to collapse, the other Hunter Team members immediately launched a storm of damage.

Jiang Dalong was finally able to catch his breath. The Hunter Team had lost a few people, but he knew that the boss in front of him had not entered the enraged state yet. This loss was nothing.

“Captain! Another boss-level monster has sneaked away along the canyon!”

At this moment, one of the team members immediately reported the situation. Jiang Dalong was about to rush over when an angry roar came from behind him.

Turning around, the Magma Squid King’s huge body turned red, and its attack power doubled!

Its severed tentacles quickly grew back, and a few members who could not dodge in time were instantly sent flying.

“Take ten people and intercept the escaping boss. We just need to stall for time and wait for reinforcements!”

Jiang Dalong made an emergency adjustment, then once again shapeshifted and charged at the enraged Magma Squid King.

.

With a sonic boom, Zhang Xuan instantly reaped the lives of a few Black-Blood Hyenas.

At this moment, there were less than 60 Black-Blood Hyenas in this canyon area, and their positions were relatively more scattered.

However, this was not a problem for Zhang Xuan, who was already familiar with using the new passive!

Every second, there would be a low sonic boom, and the next moment, a Black-Blood Hyena’s head would be cut off.

50… 35… 19.

Soon, with the incessant sonic booms, there were less than 20 Black-Blood Hyenas left in the arena, and these monsters were all protecting the Heaven Vault Mage.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan’s body was covered with a layer of nearly tangible blood-colored shield, and the number of shields displayed had reached an extremely terrifying level.

[Shield: 1,243,440]

A total of more than one million!

The Heaven Vault Mage who was mocking earlier had a look of rage on its face now. However, it was clear that it couldn’t do anything.

Zhang Xuan shook off the pitch-black blood on his arm and the scythe. In the next instant, he vanished from his original location. As the scythe appeared, he bypassed the Black-Blood Hyena and slashed out toward the Heaven Vault Mage.

[Health Points -0]

This slash didn’t cause any damage to the Heaven Vault Mage. The Heaven Vault Mage used the same old trick to send Zhang Xuan flying.

Zhang Xuan stood up. At this moment, there were less than three Black-Blood Hyenas left in front of the Heaven Vault Mage. The rest were all used as scapegoats.

Now, Zhang Xuan’s slash dealt at least 90,000 damage, and many of the 20 Black-Blood Hyenas were at critical HP. After splitting the damage, not many of them would survive!

The remaining three Black-Blood Hyenas were still baring their teeth. But in the next instant, Zhang Xuan appeared beside the Heaven Vault Mage once again.

“Let’s see if you can dodge it this time!”

[HP -74,631]

The three Black-Blood Hyenas died instantly under the effect of the splitting effect. The Heaven Vault Mage also suffered 70,000 damage.

[Ding! Level 50 Heaven Vault Mage killed, EXP +12,000]

After finishing the kill, Zhang Xuan sat down on the spot. The feeling of breaking through ten thousand blades was great, but after fighting for so long, he was more or less tired.

“It’s been so long and there’s still no new monsters. The hunters must have stopped them all, right?”

However, just as he was about to collect the spoils of war, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Countless unknown liquids instantly covered his entire body.

[Shield -1,234]

[Shield -3,462]

[Shield -5,543]

…

The huge amount of shield weakening made Zhang Xuan’s heart tighten. He quickly used his passive ability to pull away. At this moment, his body was covered in a layer of purple liquid that emitted corrosive effects.

However, the corrosive effect of the liquid was completely blocked by the Blood Demon Shield. One had to know that Zhang Xuan had stacked a million layers of the Blood Demon Shield previously.

At this moment, he also saw the monster that ambushed him. It was a huge snake-shaped monster that was nearly 40 meters long and more than 4 meters thick!

[(Boss) Venomous King Snake: Level 52]

[Heaven Vault’s special characteristics: Immune to control and skill damage, normal attack damage increased by 120%]

[HP: 900,000]

[Shield: 50,000]

[Attack: 6,000]

[Defense: 2,654]

[Agility: 442]

[Skills: Swift Poison, Disintegration Crushing, Hardened Shell]

[Passive: Attacks will cause poison to continuously stack until the target or the Venomous King Snake dies.]

To put it bluntly, the visual pressure from the boss of Heaven Vault was still very strong. Its gigantic body coupled with its pitch-black body, just looking at it was enough to cause fear to rise in people’s hearts.

Moreover, the boss’ damage was also very high. In just a short while, the corrosion damage on Zhang Xuan’s body had already exceeded 10,000.

Zhang Xuan didn’t waste any more time. In a breath, he had already arrived at the lower part of the Venomous King Snake’s body and the huge scythe was fiercely embedded into its body.

[HP -34,565]

[Shield +4,500]

This slash directly broke the Venomous King Snake’s shield, and Zhang Xuan also received about 5,000 shield replenishment.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Xuan would definitely run away if he encountered the Venomous King Snake. After all, the corrosive poison’s damage was too high.

But now, he had a shield of more than a million, and his passive attack damage was stacked to about 100,000. If he ran away like this, he would be useless!

Moreover, when he saw this characteristic, Zhang Xuan was instantly energized. No matter how he looked at it, it was prepared for him, right?

The Venomous King Snake’s immunity to skill damage indeed looked invincible, but Zhang Xuan did not have any damage from skills at all!

Moreover, it also had a characteristic that increased the damage of ordinary attacks. Was it inappropriate for it to send itself to the muzzle of the gun?

Since this was a gift from the heavens, it would be a little unreasonable if he did not accept it!

“Hiss!”

The Venomous King Snake opened its mouth wide and spat out thick purple venom at Zhang Xuan again. Zhang Xuan did not dodge and slashed at its wound again!

[HP -87,634]

This slash cut off nearly 1/10 of the Venomous King Snake’s HP. It also began to twist its body crazily because of the pain.

Although Zhang Xuan’s shield had been corroded quite a bit, this slash had made up for it all!

“F*ck, who’s so fierce? The Venomous King Snake, which is immune to skill damage, actually lost more than 80,000 HP in one go?”

“Could it be Elder Ji?”

“That shouldn’t be. Why do I remember that Captain only contacted Elder Lei? Elder Ji is supposed to be in charge of the Northern Spiritual District. What would happen if he leaves?”
