Chapter 444: The Slaughter Rises, a BOSS Appears

In Jiang Chen's view, these endless giant leaves and dwarf trees, as plant-type monsters, are their source of experience.

The vines still whirl wildly, but Jiang Chen, with Qiao Zhixin, is hundreds of meters up in the sky, already beyond the vines' attack range.

However, this distance is still within the attack range of the Skeleton Great Mage and the Skeleton Sharpshooter.

Level 50 Skeleton Great Mage and Skeleton Sharpshooter have attack ranges exceeding 2,000 meters.

Even without seeing a target, once they lock onto it, they can attack.

Especially the Skeleton Sharpshooter, once a target is locked, its arrows never miss.

A multitude of Skeleton Great Mages and Sharpshooters emerge, pouring firepower downwards.

The Elemental Explosion raised a dazzling light, illuminating the darkness.

The vines are blown apart, and leaves flutter down.

All the giant leaves and dwarf trees riot at this moment.

Their giant leaves simultaneously emit dazzling light, detach from the branches, and fly toward the sky.

These monsters display a new skill: Giant Leaf Cut.

The edges of the giant leaves sprout serrations, extraordinarily sharp.

They spin rapidly in the air, emitting a harsh sound of serrated edges scraping the air.

There are so many giant leaves that they block the sky and shade the sun.

Jiang Chen rides the Lightning Nether Spirit Wings, deftly flying and dodging in the air.

But some cannot be avoided; giant leaves strike the Bone Armor, making it flash, glitter, and creak.

Dense cracks appear on the Bone Armor.

The giant leaves' attack power is immense; the Bone Armor can endure at most two hits before shattering.

"Truly worthy of a Level 72 monster, indeed different."

A full 300,000 strength attribute grants the giant leaves and dwarf trees an extremely high attack power.

Its attack power already far exceeds that of Level 68

"Battlefield Beast".

It can even rival the pre‑Nirvana "Ancient Luan Bird".

There are so many giant leaves, at least several hundred thousand.

They completely envelop the Skeleton Great Mage and Skeleton Sharpshooter.

Causing massive damage to them.

The Lich General continuously heals, but can only barely maintain balance.

The Skeleton Great Mage and Sharpshooter's attacks never pause, yet so far no giant leaf or dwarf tree has been slain.

Jiang Chen realizes there is a problem.

Round after round of attacks, even though the giant leaves and dwarf trees have 300,000 constitution attribute and are plant-type monsters with life‑enhancing traits,

they still shouldn't be able to endure this long.

After all, they are merely ordinary monsters, not a BOSS.

"Could it possess an ability akin to full linkage?"

At this moment, Jiang Chen's gaze turns toward the distance.

By the light of the Elemental Explosion, he sees distant giant leaves and dwarf trees that were not attacked, yet their vines are massively broken.

Clearly unscathed, the vines still snapped.

Jiang Chen confirms his suspicion; they indeed have a talent like full linkage.

Damage can be transmitted to allies by some means.

Allow this endless forest of giant leaves and dwarf trees to share the damage collectively.

He didn't expect they had such a function; monsters Above Level 70 are indeed unusual.

"Then let's try again!"

"See who's sharing faster, or I'm hitting faster!"

Jiang Chen feels a stir in his heart.

Nine thousand Skeleton Berserkers appear in midair simultaneously, rushing down at high speed.

The giant leaves soaring in the air instantly acquire a new target, charging toward the Skeleton Berserkers.

Beside Jiang Chen, colors red, cyan, blue, gray, white, yellow and various other hues suddenly emerge

appear.

Flame Lich, Storm Lich, Ice Lich, Earth Lich, Lightning Lich, Undead Lich pop out one after another.

Six Auras instantly appear beneath the Skeletons' feet.

Flames rise, and flames ignite on the soaring giant leaves.

Lightning crackles and strikes down.

Thousands upon thousands of lightning bolts no longer concentrate on a single point.

With too many targets, the Lightning Auras each select their own target.

The pitch‑black space becomes fully illuminated, countless fireballs appear in the air, and the ground is filled with flashing thunder.

Skeleton Berserkers, bearing wind, fire, lightning and thunder, land in the thicket, swinging Giant Axes to chop down.

The vines are cut, and branches explode into fragments.

Skeleton Berserkers quickly locate the core of the giant leaves and dwarf trees, collectively unleashing their skills.

Each giant leaf and dwarf tree is short and stout, surrounded by dozens to hundreds of Skeleton Warriors, and simultaneously enduring dozens to hundreds of skill strikes.

As the Skeleton with the strongest burst power in the Undead Legion, it has never disappointed Jiang Chen.

Each skill strike instantly deals damage equivalent to 2,700,000 points of Strength attribute.

Add the damage increase from the Aging Curse.

The giant‑leaf dwarf tree's defenses are instantly broken, and it shatters.

The severe damage prevents them from transmitting to allies to share the burden.

With a bang, a giant‑leaf dwarf tree explodes under the strike of a Skeleton Berserker.

"Killed a level‑72 giant‑leaf dwarf tree, Experience +2,160,000"

"Obtained dwarf‑tree seed"

Subsequently, one after another, the giant‑leaf dwarf trees slaughtered by the Skeleton Berserker are all shown, none spared.

"The corpse is obtained."

With the corpse, the Weapon is obtained, and the rest is easy.

Jiang Chen, with Qiao Zhixin, flies down and quickly enters the skill range.

Lock

Lock corpse, hand slightly raised, skill erupts.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

"Corpse Explosion (Divine Power Level 7), detonates the corpse, dealing 40% of the corpse's HP as damage to enemies within 7 meters."

Corpse Explosion has risen to Divine Power Level 7; after amplification, the skill range reaches 420 meters.

The damage dealt also reaches 2,400% of the corpse's HP.

The giant‑leaf dwarf tree just slain is still fresh, its HP remains abundant.

Amid the explosions, a multitude of vines collapse.

The sudden terrifying damage renders the giant‑leaf dwarf tree's damage‑sharing ability null.

A large number of giant‑leaf dwarf trees are killed.

When a dwarf tree dies, its skill also ceases.

The giant leaves that were soaring and cutting in the air drift down, and a rain of leaves falls.

Jiang Chen rides the Lightning Nether Spirit Wings, soaring onward; wherever he flies, explosions echo.

There are so many giant‑leaf dwarf trees that Jiang Chen cannot even count them.

Everywhere his gaze reaches, there are dwarf trees.

Jiang Chen lets go, detonating wildly, blasting to his heart's content.

Anyway, he doesn't need to worry about Spiritual Power consumption; he just needs to keep exploding forward.

It can be called a technique devoid of artistry; the battle turns into a one‑sided slaughter.

At this moment, Qiao Zhixin has recovered; she is embraced by Jiang Chen, her small face flushed bright red, burning with heat.

But she dares not say anything, nor move; she feels it's fine to just curl up like this.

She can feel experience soaring, each explosion bringing a heap of experience.

She never imagined that the obviously terrifying level‑72 monster, in front of Jiang Chen, would still be so unscathed.

Jiang Chen is truly formidable.

Qiao Zhixin cautiously looks up at Jiang Chen, seeing his face.

"He

how can he be so powerful?"

"Being held by him feels so safe; if it could stay like this, how wonderful."

"Ah, Qiao Zhixin, what are you daydreaming about?"

Thinking that, Qiao Zhixin can't help but close her eyes, even shyer.

All of a sudden, the explosions cease.

At the same time they change direction.

Originally advancing, they suddenly begin to retreat rapidly.

A howling gale rushes past her ears; Qiao Zhixin can feel Jiang Chen retreating very quickly and urgently.

"What's happening?"

She opens her eyes and lets out a light gasp.

A massive tree appears not far away.

It is many times larger than the previous giant‑leaf dwarf trees.

It stands tall, at least several hundred meters high, taller than a small mountain, massive.

Its leaves are absurdly lush, covering the sky and blocking the sun.

Suddenly darkness, a gigantic vine slashes forward at high speed.

Speed reaches the extreme.

With a bang, Bone Armor shatters in response, and Jiang Chen is also slung away.

The terrifying impact force sends Jiang Chen uncontrollably flying thousands of meters away.

Jiang Chen's expression is now very solemn.

He was just exploding with excitement, but suddenly all the giant‑leaf dwarf trees burrow underground simultaneously.

Then the ground twists, and such a massive giant tree appears before him.

Its appearance makes Jiang Chen feel shocked to his core, a sense of danger instinctively surges.

So he doesn't even think, he immediately retreats at speed.

Even so, he still gets slashed once.

The terrifying power made Jiang Chen feel shocked; that attack just now was far too strong.

Bone Armor, equivalent to 300,000 points of Constitution attribute, turned out to be essentially useless.

Jiang Chen was at least three thousand meters away from the opponent, which just exceeded the opponent's attack range.

From far away.

Watching, before figuring out the opponent's strength, Jiang Chen didn't want to get close.

When in doubt, use Detection Technique.

The instant he saw the attribute, Jiang Chen turned and left.
