Chapter 1033: King

Without a doubt, the figure atop that massive main tomb is this time's BOSS.

But after seeing that figure, Su Sheng's eyebrows twitched slightly.

It was a bone throne.

Seated on the throne was a skeletal corpse, whose size was only that of an ordinary person; it seemed somewhat massive only because of the bone throne's backdrop.

Is this the final BOSS? Why does it look so lacking in prestige?

Moreover, the whole corpse sat on the bone throne without any sign of life… Right, it is already a skeleton, so where would life come from? In fact, even the soul flame is absent; its two eye sockets are pitch black.

The only noteworthy thing is a crown on that skeletal head.

That's all.

However, to be safe, Su Sheng did not act rashly; instead, he moved to a relatively open spot, stood his ground, observed the surroundings, and waited for the Yanhuang crowd behind him to pass through the palace's back door.

After a short while, everyone had gathered at the location of the city's tomb.

"Isn't this the Huangcheng ruins? How can there be a cemetery?"

Nightcoming Big Bear spoke with some surprise.

"Who knows? But it looks like the throne in the very center should be the final BOSS, right? Yet this final BOSS seems a bit underwhelming," a Yanhuang squad leader on the side replied.

Indeed, compared with the previous BOSSes, whether the first wave's Ghost-faced Spider King or the later Magic Golem.

They all appeared majestic or terrifyingly fierce.

But now the Skeleton Frame on the throne looks like an ordinary human skeleton, merely adorned with a crown.

"Anyway, this must be the final stage of this Dungeon; let's go take a look."

Seeing everyone assembled, Su Sheng turned, called out, and rode ahead.

The Yanhuang crowd behind, under Zhang Zhi's command, formed a battle formation and steadily advanced behind Su Sheng.

…

…

Meanwhile, outside the Dungeon.

A group of relatively short players arrived before this ruin.

"Baka, this place has a huge ruin."

"Don't panic, there are no monsters, and this place is rarely visited by people."

"Since that's the case, this spot is quite recognizable, so let's use it as a rally point, start scouting the surroundings now, and then everyone meet here."

"We must absolutely avoid the fiasco like last time with Gongben Yida Liu; we need to confirm whether this is the Huaxia server's Main City.."

"If this isn't the Huaxia server's Main City, we should keep the item, find a way to get to the Main City map, and then use the item."

"Hai!!"

"Very well, then we will act separately."

…

…

Buzz!

As the scholar approached, the Skeleton Frame atop the high platform suddenly lit a dazzling red glow in its hollow eyes.

Red soul flame!

"Who dares to disturb my long slumber?!"

When that seemingly frail Skeleton Frame lifted its head, a soul-shaking pressure suddenly enveloped this city's tomb.

This…

Su Sheng couldn't help but frown, and the suan ni beneath him showed even more vigilance, staring intently at the skeletal frame.

Is this really an ordinary Skeleton Frame??

Although this is just a game, the aura emanating from that Skeleton Frame felt genuinely substantial.

"Are you intruders?"

"Hmm? Phoenix? Just a drop of bloodline?"

The skeleton seemed to sense something; the red soul flame in its pupils flickered, staring fixedly toward Li Wenwan.

"What of the Phoenix Flame? Mere mortal auspicious beasts cannot compare to my celestial constellations."

"How dare you disturb my long slumber??"

Suddenly a faint divine fire spread from the red soul flame of that skeleton, then directly enveloped the entire Skeleton Frame.

Immediately, the Skeleton Frame, shrouded in the faint divine fire, rose up, looking as if Li Wenwan's attack had triggered the Phoenix Flame effect.

At that moment, Li Wenwan couldn't help but turn pale, her whole body trembling slightly.

(PS: According to the author's research, Zhu Que is the deity of the celestial constellations, while the phoenix is the king of all birds on earth; although both are fire birds, Zhu Que ranks above the phoenix, with only one Zhu Que in the world, whereas phoenixes are a species.)

"Wenwan, how are you?"

Huang Mingxin, standing nearby, noticed Li Wenwan's condition and couldn't help to ask, somewhat worried.

"I'm fine; I just feel I might be countered by this boss," Li Wenwan shook her head. "Although this is just a game, I can sense that it's a higher-ranked entity than me."

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression growing solemn.

This is the Zhu Que Huangcheng ruins, and judging by the current pace, this Skeleton Frame might be the former emperor of the old Zhu Que Huangcheng, right?

Moreover, considering Zhu Que Huangcheng, its crown and earlier words, together with Li Wenwan's behavior, this boss seems linked to the Zhu Que divine beast.

"Since you have disturbed my slumber, you shall receive punishment."

Immediately, the Skeleton Frame, its whole body cloaked in faint divine fire, clenched its bone claws sharply.

A red flaming longsword then appeared in its hand.

Then, he stepped down from the Skeleton Throne step by step.

Seeing this, Su Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue, "What a high class!" He had just said he was a bit lacking.

Indeed, you can't judge a person… no, you can't judge a skull by its appearance.

Although it looks like just a normal human skeleton, aside from the crown on its head and the Skeleton Throne beneath it, there is nothing else unusual.

But unexpectedly, it was so divine.

Since that's the case, Su Sheng won't be polite.

Charge!

Skill On!

Taunt!

-1!

Seeing the Hate Value appear, Su Sheng let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there is a Hate Value.

Luckily it's not a hero-unit boss; after all, from this boss's lines just now, it sounds like a wise hero unit, like that special boss that previously attacked Yanhuang Town.

But the presence of Hate Value proves this boss is not a hero unit.

That makes it easy.

But thinking about it, this is just a Thousand-Person Raid. If there were no Hate mechanism, it would indeed be hard. After all, throughout the journey, we always lose troops. They wouldn't set up an unbeatable Thousand-Person Raid, right?

At the same time, Su Sheng checked the boss's information.

Skeleton King. Zhu Que (Fake. Lord-level BOSS).

Level: 77
