Chapter 297: The Ultimate Boss Descends!

The Ten Nations Battlefield.

The Northern Wasteland.

A fierce wind whipped sand and stones, howling through the ruined ruins.

Boom!

A massive shadow hunter leopard, seven or eight meters tall, let out an agonizing cry.

Its huge body crashed heavily to the ground.

Raising a cloud of dust into the air.

Then.

The shadow hunter leopard's body dissolved into specks of light, vanishing into the air.

Leaving behind only a glowing orb of golden light.

Lin Mo sat astride Da Bai, seeing the golden glow on the ground.

His eyes lit up.

"Oh?"

"Drop?"

He patted Da Bai's neck.

Da Bai strode forward with elegant steps.

Lin Mo bent down.

Grabbed the golden orb in his hand.

The light faded.

A legendary unique weapon—a short knife—appeared in his grasp.

He glanced casually at its stats.

Not bad.

Lin Mo flipped it into his system inventory.

Then.

He glanced at his inventory, packed full of unique weapons.

Lin Mo couldn't help but sneer.

"Real bad luck."

"Hasn't it been nearly five hours?"

"I've cleared at least dozens of bosses—except for that one guaranteed first-kill drop, I've only gotten two others."

"This drop rate is genuinely moving."

"No wonder unique weapons are so rare."

Lin Mo shook his head.

He had no respect for the drop rates in the Ten Nations Battlefield.

But he didn't care much.

Even if unique weapons dropped too rarely, the EXP from killing bosses was real.

Lin Mo checked his panel stats.

【Current Level: LV. 4 (85%)】

Looking at the number.

Lin Mo's lips curled slightly.

"Not bad."

"Might as well treat this as leveling up."

"I have to admit, the EXP gain rate here is truly high."

Lin Mo sighed.

Outside,

to level from 40 to 44,

even with an auto-leveling external tool, it would take four or five days.

But now,

in the Ten Nations Battlefield,

BOSSes at LV. 0 littered the ground.

No one was competing for spawns.

All the EXP was his alone.

In less than five hours, he leveled up four times!

And the progress bar was about to break into LV. 5.

"If I could book this place daily for grinding, it'd be perfect."

Lin Mo closed his stats panel contentedly.

Then,

he opened his communication panel.

Checked the reports from the other four nations.

Silent.

No messages popped up.

No system notifications of any nation killing a boss.

Lin Mo frowned.

It had been five full hours since the last boss kill notification from the other four nations.

In those five hours,

the teams from those four nations had vanished as if erased.

They hadn't killed a single boss.

Lin Mo found it ridiculous.

He skillfully extended his finger and began composing a message.

Clicked send.

【Dragon Nation: Hey, are you guys moles? Which hole did you crawl into?】

【Dragon Nation: Come out and grind! Don't you feel bad leaving all these bosses unclaimed?】

【Dragon Nation: Just casually killed a leopard—dropped a legendary short knife. Feeling sorry for you guys, I'll gift it to you, out of national courtesy.】

【Dragon Nation: Coordinates (X: 5661, Y: 2314). It's lying right on the ground.】

【Dragon Nation: Hurry up and grab it—no second chances.】

Sent several messages in a row.

Broadcast to the remaining four nations.

After sending,

Lin Mo looked at the chat history.

The screen was filled with his own messages.

"That's dozens already."

"Can these guys really be this calm?"

"Not even a single word?"

Lin Mo shook his head.

In these five hours, every time he killed a boss, he sent a message over.

All kinds of mockery.

All kinds of provocation.

But,

the other side remained dead silent—no reaction at all.

"Boring."

Lin Mo lifted his head.

Looked at the gray, endless sky and the boundless wasteland around him.

The Ten Nations Battlefield was simply too vast.

Like an independent little world.

To find eighty people deliberately hiding here

was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"I give up on these cowards."

"Won't even grind bosses—just hiding, huh?"

Lin Mo sighed.

In his skill bar,

【【Fireball】 was frantically bouncing up and down, looking agitated.】

【"So annoying! So annoying!"】

"These ants! These useless wastes!"

"How much longer are they going to hide?!"

"It's been five hours already! Five hours!"

"Even after all this time, I haven't had a single chance to strike!"

"Do they know how terrifying my Nine Yang Inferno Technique is, and are they so terrified they won't even show their faces?!"

"Cowards! Absolute top-tier cowards!"

As Little Fire roared.

"Ice Spike Spell" also coldly snorted.

"Hmph, what a bunch of trash—they can't even compare to a single hair of the master."

Saying this,

"Ice Spike Spell" changed her tone, becoming sweet and dreamy as she gazed adoringly at Lin Mo.

"Only someone with my master's fearless aura deserves my admiration~"

"Ah! I can't wait to be brutally whipped by my master!"

「……」

Lin Mo's lip twitched.

"Go away."

At that moment,

"Fireball Spell" suddenly turned its attention toward "Earth Shield Spell."

"Brother Two, are you even capable?!"

"Aren't you the guy who calls himself a ground radar?"

"Aren't you supposed to sense vibrations?"

"It's been this long—four nations, eighty people, a massive group—and you still can't find them? What good are you?!"

After being scolded so harshly by his older brother,

"Earth Shield Spell" immediately shrank into a pitiful little ball.

"Big Brother… it's not my fault…"

"I've done my best, really!"

"But my sensing range is only three to five kilometers at most…"

"And beyond three kilometers, the sensitivity drops off drastically…"

"Earth Shield Spell's" voice grew even more forlorn.

"Worst of all, I can only detect moving objects on the ground!"

"If they just stay perfectly still… there's nothing I can do!"

Hearing Little Earth's explanation,

"Fireball Spell" grew even angrier.

"Excuses! All just excuses!"

"If you're weak, you're weak! Don't make excuses!"

"I don't care! If you can't find them today, don't expect me to protect you anymore!"

Seeing another family feud brewing,

Lin Mo quickly interrupted them.

"Enough, enough, stop arguing."

"This isn't Little Earth's fault."

"The Warring Nations Arena is enormous, and if they're deliberately hiding, it's no surprise they're hard to find."

Lin Mo comforted the dejected Little Earth.

Then he patted White's head.

"Forget it. Let's head back and search near their original coordinates again."

"I don't believe eighty people could leave absolutely no trace."

Lin Mo gave the order.

White let out a low growl and turned to run back the way they came.

At that moment,

Lin Mo's interface suddenly popped up a notification.

【Global Announcement!】

【LV. 0 Ultimate Boss — 'Destruction Dragon' will officially appear at coordinates (X: 2199, Y: 8754)!】

【Appearance Countdown: 10 minutes!】

【Defeating this Boss will drop: Divine Forge Stone!】

【Note: This Boss is extremely dangerous. All warriors are advised to proceed with caution!】
