Chapter 224: Pulled Out the BOSS, Accidentally Hitting the Mark

Jiang Chen noticed the Soul‑Eating Insect suddenly turning and leaving, and the situation struck him as unusual.

Then he saw a gigantic Soul‑Eating Insect flying toward him at lightning speed.

Huge!

Jiang Chen's heart was also startled by the appearance of this huge creature.

He instinctively used Detection Technique.

"Soul‑Eating Insect King (Lord-level BOSS)"

"Level: 55"

"Power: 80000"

"Agility: 80000"

"Spirit: 40000"

"Constitution: 100000"

"Skill: Soul Devour, Second Form, Terrifying Scream"

"Traits: ignore defense, ignore physical immunity, bite everything"

Jiang Chen, after seeing the Soul‑Eating Insect King's attributes, was speechless.

This Soul‑Eating Insect King is level 55, its total Four‑dimensional Attributes reach 300,000, making it a Lord-level BOSS, second only to a World‑Class Boss.

Jiang Chen inadvertently provoked this big fellow.

Now it's serious!

Jiang Chen thought to himself that he could only wait for the Soul‑Eating Insect King to descend before taking action.

The ground was littered with corpses of Soul‑Eating Insects, as well as several Abyss Demon and Dragon Race Professionals corpses.

With the bonus from Damage Curse, perhaps he has a chance.

The Soul‑Eating Insect King hovered in midair, its two huge eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

Its eyes held no killing intent, only cold indifference.

The surrounding swarm of Soul‑Eating Insects gathered around it, emitting shrill screams as if telling it everything that just happened.

Jiang Chen frowned; these sounds made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, all the sounds ceased abruptly, heightening Jiang Chen's tension.

In the next moment, the Soul‑Eating Insect King let out a deafening scream.

On the Ancient Battlefield

The light was scattered by the scream, raising wave after wave of sound that traveled far, far away.

Jiang Chen's Bone Armor glittered, blocking the wave impact.

The Skeletons were injured one after another.

The Lich General simultaneously cast Legion Healing, healing the Skeletons.

In the Upper Space, a level‑55 is not considered among the topmost beings.

Yet a level‑55 Lord-level BOSS with a total of 300,000 attributes can definitely surpass an ordinary level‑65 monster.

A single scream is enough to bring death.

Bone Armor crackled, its light quickly dimmed.

Jiang Chen hurriedly re‑equipped his Bone Armor.

The Soul‑Eating Insect King opened its massive mouth, and all Soul‑Eating Insects voluntarily flew inside.

The Soul‑Eating Insect King's body expanded again, beginning to swell.

On the ground, the corpses of Soul‑Eating Insects turned into soul fragments that merged into the Soul‑Eating Insect King.

The corpses vanished without a trace in an instant.

The Soul‑Eating Insect King kept screaming, its form constantly shifting.

The scream traveled far, far away.

In distant places, people heard the scream.

"Soul‑Eating Insect King's voice. Bad, the Soul‑Eating Insect King is out, run!"

"Whenever the Soul‑Eating Insect King emerges, it brings a storm of blood and rain. Hurry, or it'll be trouble."

"Not only we need to flee, the monsters also flee; the Soul‑Eating Insect eats whatever it sees, there is nothing it can't eat."

"I remember half a year ago the Soul‑Eating Insect King came, how come it shows up again so quickly, really strange."

"Strange, the Soul‑Eating Insect King is so powerful, it should drop a lot of good stuff, why does nobody go kill it?"

"Once the Dragon Race organized a professional team of over a hundred members, but they couldn't kill it, and only"

"drove it away, that's all."

Human Professionals, Dragon Race Professionals, and Abyss Demons, upon hearing this voice, all turned pale one by one.

They fled quickly to farther places.

Not only them, nearby monsters fell into chaotic riots.

They also feared the Soul‑Eating Insect King, fleeing wildly toward the distance.

Jiang Chen's gaze grew solemn.

The corpses of Soul‑Eating Insects on the ground disappeared.

Only a few corpses of Abyss Demons and Dragon Race Professionals remained.

In just a minute, the Soul‑Eating Insect King's body had already swollen a large circle.

The original 18 massive worm legs now became a full 36.

Each worm leg was five to six meters long, covered with sharp spines.

Its body is the same, covered with Spines, and its hard Scale Armor glitters.

Jiang Chen watches the scene, pondering in his mind.

These Spines can be used.

If a Skeleton Warrior climbs up, they can form a stable handrail.

The Soul-Eating Insect King finally completes its evolution, and dozens of eyes suddenly sprout all over its body.

With no blind spots for observation, attempting to ambush it is impossible.

"The eyes can also be used; they allow Skeleton Warriors to target its eyes for attack."

"I wonder if Bone Fang can pierce its defense."

At this point, panic is useless.

Jiang Chen is thinking about how to respond in battle.

How to kill the opponent.

A Level 55 Lord-level BOSS, a full 25 levels higher than himself.

Jiang Chen is not scared at all; he has always slain monsters above his level all the way here.

Only this time he overstepped a bit more.

The Soul-Eating Insect King devoured all Soul-eating Insects and also absorbed the soul fragments from their corpses.

It rushed forward amid the screams.

"So fast!"

In an instant, it

has already arrived in front of Jiang Chen.

Its massive Worm Leg serves as a Weapon, clacking as it slashes toward Jiang Chen.

A huge force erupts, and the nearby Skeletons are slashed and thrown, taking some damage.

The giant insect lands on Jiang Chen, and Bone Armor erupts with dazzling White Light, blocking its attack.

After Level 30, Bone Armor provides defense equal to 120,000 constitution.

It hopes to break it with a single strike, but cannot.

Jiang Chen does not dodge, evade, or flee, and endures its attack.

"Finally down,"

What was being waited for is its descent.

A flash of Red Light, Skill: Damage Curse!

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

The corpses of Abyss Demons and Dragon Race Professionals are successively detonated.

After dragging for a while, most of the life force in the corpses has drained away.

Better than nothing; after the curse, the power is still considerable.

The Soul-Eating Insect King is clearly hurt by the explosion, screaming nonstop.

Its whole body glows, all eyes looking toward Jiang Chen.

Skill: Soul Devour!

Jiang Chen feels a force acting on him, as if pulling him forward.

Bone Armor continues to glow, cutting off that force.

However, Bone Armor is heavily damaged again, and Jiang Chen quickly replenishes it.

Bone Armor, like a cheat device, firmly protects Jiang Chen.

Soul Devour is a Group Attack Skill, and the Skeletons are also affected.

Their Soul Fire flickers violently for a moment, and their movements briefly stall.

That's all; everything proceeds as usual thereafter.

It cannot devour the Skeleton's soul.

Soul Devour loses its effect.

The Soul-Eating Insect King is extremely angry, continuing its frenzied attacks.

After the corpses explode, the Soul-eating Insects are only wounded, not dead.

It is high-level, a BOSS, with extremely strong life force.

In the injured parts, there are many

Soul-eating Insects crawl out, and the wound is repaired at a very fast speed.

The swallowed Soul-eating Insects can even heal the injury, unexpectedly.

Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Mages have already taken action.

Skeleton Warriors leap onto it one after another to attack.

The Spines on its body could originally serve as climbing footholds.

But when Skeleton Warriors go up, they find that's not the case at all.

These Spines bloom simultaneously, sprouting countless tiny spikes that knock the Skeleton Warriors back down.

Tricky, very tricky.

Skeleton Warriors cannot climb up, so their combat power is greatly reduced.

Resolving firmly in his heart, since that's the case, he'll have the Skeleton Mage grind you to death.

The Soul-Eating Insect King's most powerful tactic is Soul Devour.

It deals massive damage to souls, and, like one's own soul being scorched, cannot be defended against.

This is also its most terrifying aspect.

Unfortunately, this move is ineffective against itself.

Besides that, the Soul-Eating Insect King is not as powerful as imagined.

Especially when facing its own Undead Army, it is even more so.

A thought stirs, and eight Lich Generals appear in full.

Ten Undead Legions, 2,000 Skeleton Warriors, and 1,000 Skeleton Mages surround the Soul-Eating Insect King completely.

Skills pour out.

The Skeleton Mages' spells completely engulf the Soul-Eating Insect King.

The Lich General receives Jiang Chen's willful command.

Skeleton Warriors take turns surrounding the Soul-Eating Insect King to use skills.

One batch finishes, then another batch replaces it.

Red Light fills the sky.

Skill: Slow Curse!

The Soul-Eating Insect King's movements instantly slow down.

Jiang Chen will not give it a chance to escape.

Soul Burn blazes fiercely.

The Soul-Eating Insect King excels at Soul Attack, and Jiang Chen does as well.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Flames fall, the Soul-Eating Insect

King emits a Terrifying Scream.

The sharp sound again raises a wave of noise, as if to pierce the eardrum.

Bone Armor is directly activated, blocking the wave of sound.

Skeleton Warriors are repeatedly Shock Retreated by the sound.

The Lich General waves and casts skills.

Skill: Purge!

In the blink of an eye, it purges the Skeletons' abnormal states and prevents them from being affected by such states for several minutes.

Thirty-six Long Legs dance wildly, continuously attacking the Skeleton Warriors.

But the Skeleton Warriors' attributes are also high; they cannot be instantly killed.

The Lich General's Legion Healing is very powerful, allowing Skeleton Warriors to attack recklessly.

Soul Attack is ineffective, and physical attacks cannot threaten the Skeletons.

Meanwhile, it must constantly endure attacks from 1,000 Skeleton Mages and the Skeleton Warriors' skills, which hurt it greatly.

The Soul-Eating Insect King falls into a disadvantage, and the damage it receives grows heavier.

It suddenly spreads its wings with a shake and forcefully takes off.

Want to escape?

Jiang Chen thinks it is not yet ready to flee.

In midair it glows all over, the light forming a shield that blocks the Skeleton Mages' skills.

The life force it previously lost is rapidly recovering, and its body shape changes.

The thirty-six Long Legs collectively retract, becoming both hands and feet.

Its insect body stands up, transforming into a humanoid form.

All Spines on its body retract, like armor.

Jiang Chen furrows his brows; the Soul-Eating Insect King's aura has changed.

It seems to have become an entirely new monster.

Detection Technique flies out.

"Soul-Eating Insect King Second Form (Lord-level BOSS)"

"Level: 55"

"Strength: 120000"

"Agility: 50000"

"Spirit: 10000"

"Constitution: 120000"

"Skill: Soul Devour,

Second Form, Terrifying Scream"

"Trait: Ignores Defense, Ignores Physical Immunity, Gnaws All"

It can continue evolving its form.

It reminds Jiang Chen of a manga he read in a past life, Cell from Dragon Ball.
