Chapter 51: Zhanji Tiger

The tiger roar came, and Chu Danqing knew the Zhanji Tiger had escaped.

But at this time, Dabao hadn't completely killed all the ghost servants; even if his efficiency was fast, there was a limit.

"You and I should avoid it first," Chu Danqing said, taking Guo Ming to find a safe place to retreat.

During this time, he also used the energy link to have the five ghost servants share the summoning consumption of the repeating crossbowmen.

He let the repeating crossbowmen find a safe area to assist Dabao.

As for using the life link to kill the Zhanji Tiger? Chu Danqing didn't have this thought at all.

His Agility and Perception were far inferior to the Zhanji Tiger's, and the opponent's reaction speed was much higher than Chu Danqing's. If he really used this move, the only one to die would be Chu Danqing.

The combat limit of the life link was only for opponents slightly stronger than oneself; using it to deal with a BOSS like the Zhanji Tiger was simply courting death.

Chu Danqing actually understood that the life link and energy link were just small tricks in his hands; they seemed like god-tier skills, but the unavoidable flaw of shared burden alone made them worthy of their Excellent quality.

As for finding a small animal or insect to use as a substitute? Not to mention that the link could be destroyed and the range was limited, the individual also had a bearing limit.

Chu Danqing could withstand 200 points of fatal damage, but if replaced by such small animals or insects, they might only be able to withstand ten or twenty points; even if all were shared, it wouldn't cause a fatal blow.

Furthermore, the enemy wasn't stupid and wouldn't let the link hang on them, they would definitely attack.

If one's own strength wasn't enough and one still dreamed of winning big, one would eventually bury oneself.

The two retreated quickly, and the repeating crossbowmen relied on his combat literacy to quickly find an advantageous position.

"We ran away, so how do we chant the spell?" Guo Ming asked this question.

"No rush, let Dabao and the Zhanji Tiger tangle for a while before moving," Chu Danqing gave his reason: "Otherwise, what if the Zhanji Tiger attacks us first?"

Summoning-type apostles didn't have much strength themselves, so they certainly had to consider the BOSS's aggro.

This wasn't a game where the BOSS would fight the summoned creatures to the death.

After they hid, about a minute later, Dabao's roars and the Zhanji Tiger's roars rose and fell, and the two officially began to fight.

Chu Danqing saw the fluctuations in HP on Dabao's panel.

It had to be said that the Zhanji Tiger was indeed fierce; Dabao's lifesteal effect couldn't keep up with the drop in HP.

After waiting for about two more minutes, Chu Danqing finally stood up: "You hide here, I'm going to chant the spell."

Guo Ming's own combat power was even worse than Chu Danqing's, but he was indeed strong at providing support with a head full of knowledge.

After speaking, Chu Danqing rushed out and saw Dabao covered in injuries; the Zhanji Tiger's situation was also not optimistic.

The repeating crossbowmen continuously sniped at the ghost servants with crossbow bolts, and each arrow could easily kill a ghost servant.

The Zhanji Tiger noticed the threat of the repeating crossbowmen and tried to kill him several times, but was held back tightly by Dabao.

Seeing this scene, Chu Danqing began to chant.

"Upper scenery flies and entangles, vermilion and yellow scatter smoke."

"Qi gathers turbid evil, corpse filth sinks into sleep."

"Refining the soul and tempering the spirit, merging form to become an immortal."

"Let me not die, with longevity and full blessings."

"Clever hearing and thorough seeing, long enjoying the origin of profit."

The forty-character spell was shouted out by him, without any rhythm to speak of, relying entirely on his lungs.

When the complete spell entered the Zhanji Tiger's ears, its figure paused, and a wisp of black energy permeated its face.

Just at this moment, Dabao's attack arrived mercilessly.

Sharp claws tore off half of the Zhanji Tiger's cheek on the spot.

Chu Danqing could see the black human face in the Zhanji Tiger's throat from afar.

He understood this was the Three Corpses·Stumble, but it hadn't fully matured yet, so the facial features couldn't be seen clearly.

Otherwise, he could have followed this clue to track the target.

The human face opened its underdeveloped eyes, ejected and extended in an instant, opened its serrated teeth, and bit Dabao on the shoulder.

Just as it was about to pull down after biting, Chu Danqing's second spell was successfully finished.

The Three Corpses·Stumble's movements stalled again. Taking this opportunity, Dabao quickly broke free from the bite and gave the opponent a claw.

Compared to the Three Corpses·Stumble on the human-faced black leopard, the one on the Zhanji Tiger was more powerful.

Although it was torn by a large wound, it took the opportunity to shrink back.

The Zhanji Tiger retreated several steps, dodging Dabao's offensive, and the torn half of its face was glaring at Chu Danqing.

It seemed to be trying to find a way to bypass Dabao and kill Chu Danqing.

The spell was a much greater threat to it than the repeating crossbowmen.

It wanted to find an opportunity, but Dabao didn't intend to give it one, pouncing over to bite and scratch.

With the help of the spell, it was equivalent to forcing the Zhanji Tiger to pause for a moment every twenty seconds or so.

After pausing only twice, the overall situation reversed.

At most three more times, Dabao was confident he could kill the Zhanji Tiger.

So what he had to do wasn't to make a breakthrough, but to consolidate the current advantage, and victory would belong to him.

This was the Zhanji Tiger's turn to be anxious. Chu Danqing finished chanting the third spell, the Zhanji Tiger paused again, and Dabao seized the opportunity to inflict a heavy blow.

By the time the Zhanji Tiger recovered, it could no longer care about fighting and turned to flee.

At this time, wanting to leave was naturally too late.

Dabao chased up, grabbed the tiger tail and pulled it back, then pounced forward, pressing his entire massive body over.

The sharp claws of his lower limbs dug deep into the Zhanji Tiger's back, forcibly digging out two wounds deep to the bone, while one claw of his forelimbs grabbed the tiger's head.

The other claw reached deep into the Zhanji Tiger's throat and forcibly pulled out the Three Corpses·Stumble.

The Zhanji Tiger's struggle became increasingly frantic, but its injuries were too severe, causing its HP to drop to the point of near-death.

This made the effect of Dabao's Bloody Fury make Dabao's attacks against it increasingly higher.

Until the final blow fell, HP returned to zero, and the Zhanji Tiger completely lost its vitality.

Chu Danqing's side also showed the task was completed.

【Task completed, you obtained: Paradise Points × 2000, Attribute Points +2】

An Excellent-tier treasure chest also appeared on the Zhanji Tiger's body, which Dabao grabbed and threw to Chu Danqing.

The battle wasn't over yet; although the Slashing-Extreme Tiger was dead, there were still some ghost servants remaining.

According to past practice, killing them all would probably also yield a treasure chest.

But given the attributes of the ghost servants, it would probably only be Common-tier.

It was on the same level as the group of skeleton monkeys in the back mountain of Xianghua Village.

Dabao and the repeating crossbowmen acted together, and the death rate of the ghost servants was naturally very fast; before long, they were all dead.

"Search carefully to see if any were missed." Chu Danqing noticed there was no treasure chest, and he realized immediately that they hadn't killed them all.

Dabao and the repeating crossbowmen immediately took action and began to search Nanshan Temple.
