Chapter 165

Eh, not dead?

Xiao Feng took a look, and it seemed he indeed hadn't gained any experience, and Arui'er hadn't burst into a pile of gold coins and equipment.

Does that mean you can't die even when your health bar is emptied?

Under his curious gaze, the Arui'er that had turned into an ice sculpture gradually emitted a glint of golden light from its body.

+100000

+100000

+100000

One by one, green numbers floated up from his body, and the previously emptied health bar began to slowly recover.

When it kept recovering to 5 million HP, a crisp "crack" sound rang out.

The ice shell on Arui'er's body shattered, revealing the thick armor underneath.

Whoosh~

The shield's golden light shone broadly, forming a stream of energy that flowed into his body.

A massive +5 million heal appeared, and Arui'er's HP became 10 million.

"I go, this heal amount is more than just 10 yards greater than Miaojie's!" Xiao Feng was shocked beyond belief.

The last shard of ice fell away, and Arui'er fully regained freedom.

He let out a long breath, still shaken, and said: "What a terrifying ice arrow, I almost couldn't recover. Xiao Feng warrior's attack power far surpasses that of the City Lord!"

City Lord Kaxius awkwardly rubbed his nose.

Xiao Feng then gave a dry cough and said: "Um... that true damage was purely accidental; I'm actually not that strong normally."

Although the ice arrow's damage itself was already absurd, the truly absurd part was the true damage.

Once triggered, this thing can't be blocked even by immortals!

If it weren't for the skill that revives from desperate straits, Arui'er would have kicked the bucket!

Arui'er gave a thumbs-up, openly expressing admiration, saying: "This isn't just a fluke; strength is strength!"

Xiao Feng gave a dry laugh and reluctantly accepted the praise.

He asked: "Have I passed the assessment? What mission does the City Lord wish to entrust to me?"

"Naturally, you have passed."

Kaxius took out a scroll, activated it with magic, forming a Spiritual Barrier that enveloped the three of them.

"This is a divine power isolating Spiritual Barrier; it can prevent the perception of god‑level experts from seeing this place." He explained.

Xiao Feng's spirit jolted.

That means we still have to guard against gods and demons learning of this?

Hiss!

A major mission! Absolutely a major mission!

He quickly pricked up his ears, fearing to miss any detail.

Inside the isolating Spiritual Barrier, Kaxius and Arui'er exchanged a glance.

The latter spoke: "Xiao Feng warrior, have you heard of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield?"

"I've heard a little; could this matter be related to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield?" Xiao Feng asked in surprise.

The Myriad Heavens Battlefield is the stage for god‑level powerhouses; even a chief god there is merely a slightly stronger character, not a top‑tier one.

Arui'er said: "It has no direct relation to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, but we must deal with a super‑strong expert who comes from the Myriad Heavens Battlefield."

"Oh? Could it be a god?" Xiao Feng rubbed his hands, excitedly saying.

Anyone coming from the Myriad Heavens Battlefield is definitely a god‑level powerhouse!

Kaxius nodded and said, "Exactly, and it's not just any god—it's a mid‑tier deity with a strength of level 380!"

Whoa!

A level‑380 god!

An existence far more formidable than Miheer!

"Where is he? Should we go take him down now?" Xiao Feng grew even more excited, his transcendence skill itching to be used.

Kaxius shook his head and said, "Not now; his power is too great. We must wait until he is at his weakest for us to have a chance to win. If we act rashly, a sweep of his willpower will knock us out, and then he will drain us dry."

"Weak? Unconscious? Drain?" Hearing these keywords, Xiao Feng couldn't help but imagine the state of this level‑380 boss.

However, before he could start imagining, Kaxius added, "That guy is a giant beast that suffered heavy wounds and has remained in a coma. Perhaps because of that coma, even the gods cannot sense its presence. Yet even unconscious, its instinct remains terrifyingly fierce: any creature that comes within one kilometer will be stunned by its willpower and then have its life force drained, turning into a skeleton."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng gave a slight nod.

Putting it that way, it's indeed a bit troublesome.

NPCs can't approach; they die if they get close.

As a player who can resurrect infinitely, he naturally bears the task of probing the boss's condition.

But one kilometer is too far; it's impossible to kill the boss from outside that range.

Therefore, we must have the corresponding ability to get close to it.

Kaxius continued, "We've observed that creature for a while; its surroundings lack living beings, and its wounds heal very slowly. Moreover, every ten days it falls into an extremely weak phase, allowing approach to within 300 meters. Furthermore, the weaker the creature, the less likely it is to arouse its vigilance."

In other words, Xiao Feng, who is only level 120, can approach it more easily.

"If it's just me alone, can I take it down?" Xiao Feng asked.

Arui'er nodded, then shook his head.

He said, "Your attack power is enough to injure it, but it might not be easy to kill. Once wounded, it could launch a furious counterattack, so we're not sure whether we can slay it."

"Alright… then when should I try? Where is it?" Xiao Feng, somewhat impatient, wanted to give it a go.

As for the level‑380 boss, not to mention the quality of its loot, the experience alone would be enough to give him a great rush!

Kaxiusi said: "There are still 8 hours until it enters its weakest stage; come to Cheng Zhu Fu a bit earlier, and I'll take you there."

8 hours……

Not too much, not too little; you can go to Abyssal Zhan Chang and wander a few loops before returning.

"No problem, I'll arrive early." Xiao Feng replied.

"It's best to keep this secret; don't let anyone know, including your adventurer friend. Because we can't be sure whether that guy also has an inheritor." Kasius instructed.

Xiao Feng nodded.

This time the system didn't issue a quest to him.

Perhaps this quest's quality is too high, exceeding Mythic level.

It's also possible that the success rate of this matter is too low, so Kasius can't guarantee giving him a reward.

After making the plan, Xiao Feng left Cheng Zhu Fu.

Kaxiusi and Arui'er watched him leave the garden, their faces showing a mix of anticipation and worry.

"City Lord, if this adventurer also can't deal with that monster, what should we do?" Arui'er asked.

Kaxiusi said: "Its existence has always been a threat to Storm City. If there's truly no way, we can only inform the Divine Temple, have the temple's personnel communicate with Shen Jie, descend a deity, and slay it."

"But if we do that, the benefits will be taken by the Divine Temple. That's an intermediate god; the treasures on its body are absolutely astonishing, enough for you to reach God-level and me to reach demigod!" Arui'er said, somewhat unwilling.

Kaxiusi sighed, "So it's up to whether this adventurer Xiao Feng can kill it."
