Chapter 128: with translation of chapter title

This boss's tentacles not only each have independent HP, but when they retract underwater they can quickly recover to full state!

"We must press them to the ground and kill them!"

Xiao Feng made a judgment, no longer holding back the Ice Arrow, and shot it at the No. 1 tentacle that had just emerged from the water.

Pfft—!

The huge Ice Arrow struck the No. 1 tentacle, and a damage value as high as 700 million floated up.

The boss's magic resistance was completely ineffective against Transcendent skills, and it was instantly killed at full HP.

After losing two tentacles in a row, the boss grew angry, and two more tentacles extended, swinging at Xiao Feng.

"Hey, is that all?"

Xiao Feng completely disregarded this stupid pure-physical attack style; he dodged if he could, and bore it head-on if he couldn't.

The Earth Elemental Shield, based on 5700 attack power, had a shield effect of over 68 million; not to mention a few strikes, even a storm-like barrage could be withstood!

"Ice Arrow!"

With a 5-second cooldown being fast, the Transcendent Ice Arrow was unleashed again instantly, instantly destroying another of the boss's tentacles.

Teammates stared in disbelief behind him; the diminutive Xiao Feng moved freely between the massive boss and the Flame Lord, his magic flowing effortlessly, as if facing not a mythic boss with twenty times the HP but an ordinary minor monster.

"When will we ever be able to fight a boss like this?" Dagger Sister said wistfully.

Candle Dragon replied dryly: "At least a pure-tank knight level 120 with full mythic gear could possibly withstand the boss's attacks, and must also be instantly healed to full after taking a normal hit, otherwise two hits would kill him outright. But even then, he could only bear damage; as for output… even if the whole team were level 150, it's uncertain whether it would be enough."

"Sigh, comparing people makes people angry!" the Killer God said glumly.

These people, many of them are world-top professional players.

Yet in front of Xiao Feng, they appeared extremely weak.

Boom!

The boss's tentacles had already been destroyed four times by Xiao Feng.

Accompanied by a roar from the Flame Lord, with a mighty pull, the boss's silhouette was finally dragged out of the water.

"So huge!"

Upon seeing the boss's full appearance, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

The "Abyssal Devourer"'s tentacles are nearly 80 meters long, its main body an octopus head 18 meters in diameter, and when fully spread it can cover an area of one to two hundred meters!

Otherwise, it would not be able to easily overturn a 15-meter-long large ship.

At this moment, having been dragged ashore, it now has only four tentacles left, two of which are half-ruined, clutched in the Flame Lord's hand, dripping with fluid.

"Damned humans!"

After coming ashore, the boss spoke in human voice, letting out a muffled, guttural roar.

At the same time, a huge single eye resembling that of the Abyssal Demons emitted black light; a sheet of dark light shone down, freezing everything within a hundred-meter radius, and simultaneously both Xiao Feng and the Flame Lord had over 800,000 damage appear above their heads.

Fortunately the teammates were far enough away, otherwise they would likely have been wiped out.

Xiao Feng was frozen, unable to move for 10 seconds.

But he showed no panic, silently casting Levitation Technique to remove the control, then hurling a fireball plus a lightning arrow.

Bang!

Hiss!

The two minor skills dealt over 20 million damage to the boss.

The Abyssal Devourer roared in pain, its four tentacles flung the Flame Lord aside and then lashed toward Xiao Feng.

The tentacles were coated with a layer of poison; upon striking Xiao Feng, they not only inflicted high damage but also applied a poison damage of -10,000 per second.

"What a pitiful boss."

Xiao Feng looked pityingly at the weak mythic boss; seeing that the Ice Arrow's cooldown had ended, he casually cast it forth.

Pfft~

The Ice Arrow struck the boss's main body.

The massive octopus monster instantly had its HP emptied, letting out a miserable scream as its tentacles flailed wildly, then slowly sank into the Ash River.

Splish~

River water sprayed, raising towering waves.

At the same time, gold coins rained down like a downpour, accompanied by red and orange light, blanketing the small riverside clearing.

"Ding~ You defeated the level 150 mythic leader Abyssal Devourer, gaining 43,100 reputation!"

"Your team defeated the mythic leader Abyssal Devourer, sharing 2,784,000 experience!"

The pleasant system notification sounded, and all team members, including Xiao Feng, leveled up!

"Old Xiao, you're awesome!!"

"Damn, this isn't fighting a boss—clearly the boss is desperately struggling under Old Xiao's torment!"

"So strong, no wonder he's Xiao Feng the god!"

The crowd walked out from the distant rubble and returned to the riverside.

Xiao Feng checked the dungeon progress; it had become 2/9, and he felt pleased.

He laughed loudly: "In just over half an hour we've pushed two bosses—this speed is beyond what even the game designers would have expected!"

Dungeons above Epic level are meant for long-term campaigns; each mythic boss is extremely tough to handle, and it's common to spend several days failing countless times.

But Xiao Feng's heaven-defying talent makes such a boss—lacking special skills, relying only on brute force—basically no different from a cabbage.

Many things dropped on the ground: 3.2 million gold, three mythic items, nine legendary items, several mythic potions and scrolls, and one Epic skill book—basically comparable to the first boss, the Demon Sword General.

Xiao Feng picked up everything, tossed it into the team's pack, then divided the relatively ordinary Epic equipment and scrolls equally among everyone.

"Next we go check Old Three. Old Li, where did you say the red skull marker is?" Xiao Feng said.

Li Li pointed ahead and replied: "Continue forward along the riverbank for about a kilometer, then walk two hundred meters toward the shore and you'll arrive."

Alright, let's keep moving!

The big shots go first; I'll gather some materials from the boss's corpse!

Xiao Dao still has a quest to do; there's a small broken tentacle on the shore, which is his quest item collection spot.

Everyone waited a couple of minutes; after he finished gathering, they continued on.

The ground by the river is littered with jagged rocks, making it hard to walk without a path.

Moving along the riverbank, the piranhas in the water will occasionally leap out to attack the group.

But with Xiao Feng around, basically whoever shows up first dies, so there's not much danger.

After walking several hundred meters, everyone could already see in the distance the 'Skull Head' area that Li Li mentioned.

It was a huge nest covered in white bones all around.

Inside and outside the nest, bleached white bones were scattered everywhere—beast skeletons, human skulls, and some strangely shaped bones resembling flying dragons, all placed in various spots; from afar it looked a bit frightening.

Hmph...

A deep, muffled sound came from that direction, like an old horse snorting, except the sound waves were tens of times louder, like thunder.

Dao Jie lightly leapt onto a rock and glanced over there.

Then she exclaimed in surprise: 'It's a big dog… no, not a dog; its head looks like a lion's, with horns on top, like a qilin!'

'A qilin? Are you sure you're not seeing things?' hearing this, everyone doubted a bit.

This is a Western fantasy-themed game; how could an Eastern mythological divine beast appear?

Only Xiao Feng showed a hint of surprise, quickly jumping onto a rock to look as well.

In the distant huge nest, a beast over 15 meters long lay asleep on the ground.

Its fur was brown‑green, its build indeed dog‑like, its head like a male lion's, though its mane wasn't that long.

At the chin and eyes were tufts of white long hair, like a beard and white eyebrows, adding a bit of dignity.

On its forehead were a pair of sharp black horns.

This doesn't look like a qilin either; do you have a misunderstanding about qilin?' Xiao Feng questioned Dao Jie's judgment.

'Well, what else could it be then?' Dao Jie said, pouting.

'Like…'

Xiao Feng couldn't think of what it resembled for a moment, then replied: 'We'll see when we look. Let's go, take it down!'
