Chapter 102: Intelligence Bureau! A Tier 5 Abyss BOSS Appears!

True · Armor-Shedding War God!!

Luo Chenyu didn't even bother taking the 【Gloom】 greatsword.

Going bare-fisted could also boost his attack speed a bit.

To complete the quest, he had to keep refreshing 【Steel Shield】 at all times, while also maintaining normal attacks to constantly trigger the "Greed" effect.

Only this way could he guarantee his shield value.

"Little cuties, hit me with everything you've got, don't hold back!"

Luo Chenyu stood in place, shouting loudly to taunt all the Owl Beasts.

When it came to taking hits, he was a professional!

As long as he completed the quest, it was club嫩模 plus two more rounds!

Seeing the battle-ready Luo Chenyu, all the Owl Beasts seemed infected by his fighting spirit and attacked even more furiously.

Countless wind-attribute skills rained down on him.

As for the physical-type Owl Beasts, they swarmed the small hill like mad.

Without his equipment, Luo Chenyu's damage output was still off the charts, but for the sake of "spreading the love evenly," he let the monsters attack first, tanked some damage, and only then began dealing damage.

In just one minute, he had completed the requirement of tanking over 200,000 damage!

After activating the quest, he realized that what limited him was not only the Owl Beasts' attack power, but also their attack range and numbers.

This wasn't a game — Owl Beasts couldn't overlap their models, so at most a few dozen could surround him at once.

But...

This was nowhere near enough!

A few minutes later.

"No good, I have to save the BOSSes — they're the main force for stacking damage!"

Luo Chenyu thought it over, and finally left the mountaintop for the first time.

He activated Savage Charge, charging directly in the opposite direction of that BOSS, bombarding a swath of monsters to siphon shield value, before running back and letting the BOSS stack damage on him.

The strategy seemed to work very well.

One BOSS's damage could match the combined assault of over a dozen Owl Beasts.

The damage-tanking efficiency finally picked up.

"From now on, whoever calls me a poor student better watch out — I might go berserk. Could an ordinary person have a brain this clever?"

Seeing hope of completing the quest, Luo Chenyu finally broke into a smile.

……

Screeech!!

The sharp screech of brakes rang out at the Yangshan parking lot, and three men in black stepped out of an off-road vehicle.

Each of the black-clothed men bore a strange emblem on his chest.

The remaining "spectators" at the Yangshan parking lot froze for a moment upon seeing the black-clothed men arrive, then burst into exclamations of shock and suspicion.

"People from the Intelligence Bureau — something big really has happened at Yangshan!"

The Intelligence Bureau — wherever something unusual occurred, their presence could be found; they left no stone unturned, and could be called one of the most feared institutions in all of Xuanlong Nation.

Every one of them was a talent, combining technology with Awakener abilities to create many advanced, miraculous items.

Just as the "spectators" were murmuring in shock, one of the black-clothed men walked up to them.

"We're from the Intelligence Bureau. Tell us everything that happened here, in full!"

As he spoke, the black-clothed man showed no other expression, as if he were merely asking about some ordinary matter.

Generally speaking, when the Intelligence Bureau asked questions, the vast majority of people would answer truthfully.

Like the "spectators" at the Yangshan parking lot.

"Let me go first. I was looking for a treasure chest not far from Jianfeng when I suddenly heard a series of explosions, and then I saw the figure of 【Night Owl King】 — it must have been fighting some big shot, it even blew Jianfeng apart..."

"Right, right, right — our squad also ran out after Jianfeng collapsed, and not long after that the Owl Beasts went berserk."

"..."

Every word they said was carefully committed to memory by the black-clothed man.

He then quickly analyzed it.

"Strange — Longshan City shouldn't have anyone this capable!"

The black-clothed man was filled with doubt, then turned and said to the two behind him: "Xiao Li, use the equipment to scan the battle site and see who caused this incident."

"Xiao Chen, you... release the Swift Bees and find that little guy."

The other two black-clothed men said nothing and got straight to work.

The black-clothed man turned back to the spectators and said: "You may leave now!"

The "spectators" exchanged glances and left reluctantly.

When the Intelligence Bureau was handling matters, they had to keep their distance.

Otherwise... the consequences would be severe.

But before the "spectators" had gone far, a sharp, piercing cry rang out from deep within Yangshan.

The black-clothed man's brow furrowed.

"The King of Owl Beasts — a Tier 5 Abyss BOSS that had lain dormant for over a decade — has also been mobilized?"

"Captain, the energy's all scrambled — I can't detect the battle scene, only make out one Awakener fighting."

"Captain, no luck on my end either — the Swift Bees were destroyed by the gale, there's no entering Yangshan at all."

The black-clothed man's brow furrowed again. "You two hold position here. I'll go report to the Director."

……

"Director, the situation is this — I'm requesting combat mode!"

"Denied!" The Director of the Intelligence Division was silent for a moment, then said: "These past few days are a critical period, and besides, the Owl-Beast King never leaves the bounds of Yangshan — the threat isn't high."

"But that mysterious professional…"

The man in black started to speak, then stopped; after a long pause he said: "Understood!"

"Good that you understand. Has Luo Chenyu been found?"

"No. The Swiftwing Bees were destroyed, and all the Owl-Beasts across Yangshan have gone into a frenzy. I'm afraid… Luo Chenyu's chances are slim."

"That's trouble. You wait at Yangshan first — Principal An Chen should be arriving soon. Go in with him and scout the situation!"

"Understood!" The man in black hung up the phone and once again gazed toward the direction of the battle.

However, the endless gale and the dense swarms of Owl-Beasts blocked his line of sight; all he could see was a massive figure flying out from deep within Yangshan.

The uncrowned king of Yangshan — the Owl-Beast King!
