Snake King Mutation

The Bamboo Viper Snake King immediately unleashed the Sweep the Army skill upon attacking. Its thick tail swept across, crushing small trees and scattering grass. Ye Luo, who was preparing to attack slightly closer, was also within the skill's range. Thanks to an increased range, Yan Hua Yi Leng was spared as she was 17 meters away from the Bamboo Viper Snake King.

Ye Luo was sent flying, and a damage number exceeding 200 appeared above his head. More importantly, after being swept away by the massive tail, he was stunned and completely unable to move.

The Bamboo Viper Snake King showed no mercy. It slithered and weaved, and when it was still 5 meters away from Ye Luo, it quickly sprang up. Its two fangs easily pierced the Demon Ant Chestplate, and another damage number exceeding 200 floated up.

Clearly, the Bamboo Viper Snake King had activated the Serpent Fang Strike skill.

That wasn't all. Blood flowed from where the fangs pierced, and a yellow damage number of 50 appeared above Ye Luo's head every second, indicating the bleed effect from Serpent Fang Strike had taken hold.

Using Sweep the Army followed by Serpent Fang Strike was exactly what Yan Hua Yi Leng had feared most. Fortunately, only Ye Luo had taken the damage. Seeing the Bamboo Viper Snake King preparing to attack Ye Luo again, she unhesitatingly used the Frozen Arrow skill, successfully stunning it for 3 seconds.

At this moment, Ye Luo finally recovered from his stun. Seeing his health points suddenly drop to below 500 and still decreasing, he unhesitatingly swallowed a mutated Major Blood Recovery Pill. Simultaneously, he launched his own attack.

A combination of Slash + normal attack + Combo Attack was unleashed, dealing over 1400 damage to the Snake King in an instant. Furthermore, the potent poison effects from the Jade Poison Bead and the mutated Rotten Skin Powder took effect.

Although the Snake King had 50% poison resistance, it still lost over 40 health points per second under the assault of the two potent poisons. It was better than nothing.

Furthermore, the effect of the mutated Rotten Skin Powder reduced the Snake King's overall defense by 10%, and its health recovery speed was halved. This allowed Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng to deal even more damage.

With the health recovery from the mutated Major Blood Recovery Pill, the Wolf King Ring, and set bonuses, Ye Luo's health drop halted. With around 600 health points, he could withstand the Snake King's attacks for a while.

A short while later, the Snake King also recovered from its stun. It was furious with Yan Hua Yi Leng and slithered towards her in pursuit.

Even with the 20% slow from Ice Spirit Power, the Snake King's speed was still slightly faster than Yan Hua Yi Leng's, who had taken a mutated Gale Pill. It would likely catch up to her in less than ten seconds.

However, Yan Hua Yi Leng didn't flee because if she did, the Bamboo Viper Snake King would still pursue her. Ye Luo, being the slowest, wouldn't be able to keep up and thus couldn't deal damage. It was better to face its attacks head-on.

Yan Hua Yi Leng was now level 18, and her Flying Snow Robe had also reached level 18, significantly increasing her defense. Because of this, even though Yan Hua Yi Leng was a Leather Armor class, her physical defense was not much lower than Ye Luo's.

Moreover, Yan Hua Yi Leng had invested all her points into agility, giving her a much higher evasion chance than Ye Luo. Therefore, enduring the Bamboo Viper Snake King's attacks for a while was not a major issue.

"Ye Luo, don't hold back on your control skills for now, go all out with control," Yan Hua Yi Leng said, not forgetting to attack while speaking.

The Bamboo Viper Snake King had already used its two active skills. There was no need to save control skills to interrupt its abilities in the short term, so there was no need to conserve them.

Knowing this, Ye Luo unhesitatingly unleashed a combination attack of Soul Shocking Slash + normal attack. The two attacks dealt over a thousand damage, and most importantly, stunned the Snake King in place for 3 seconds.

During these three seconds, Yan Hua Yi Leng took a mutated Major Blood Recovery Pill, and soon after, her health recovered to over 900 points.

Shortly after, the Snake King recovered from its stun. It opened its fangs to bite, and Yan Hua Yi Leng's health rapidly decreased. However, with the support of the elixirs, combined with her positioning and evasion chance, she could withstand more than ten attacks.

When Yan Hua Yi Leng's health dropped below 400, Ye Luo unleashed his strongest attack. He used two combination attacks simultaneously, dealing massive damage to the Snake King in a short period and shifting its aggro.

Slightly moving away from the Bamboo Viper Snake King and slowing down her attack speed, Yan Hua Yi Leng managed to regain aggro. She had the opportunity to quickly replenish her health.

Thus, the two took turns tanking the Snake King's attacks. When their health dropped below 400, they would switch out. They managed this without much danger, and the Snake King's health was also rapidly declining.

After more than two minutes, the Snake King had lost nearly 20,000 health points. Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng could see the dawn of victory.

"Ye Luo, the Snake King's Serpent Fang Strike skill will be off cooldown in over 20 seconds. This skill is incredibly powerful; we need to keep our health above 600," Yan Hua Yi Leng said, calculating the time. "Of course, it would be even better if we could interrupt its skill. You go first with Soul Shocking Slash, and if you fail, I'll use Frozen Arrow."

Nodding, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng had already witnessed the Snake King's skill usage pattern. The probability of them successfully interrupting its skills by taking turns was quite high.

Over 20 seconds passed, and the Snake King's first active skill's cooldown was complete. At this moment, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng became even more focused, ready to use their skills to interrupt it at any moment. However, to their confusion, the Snake King showed no intention of using Serpent Fang Strike.

"Could it be that this damned snake wants to use both skills together after Sweep the Army is also off cooldown?" Ye Luo said, cursing. "It's really quite cunning..."

Before he finished speaking, the Snake King's head slightly retracted, its body coiled, and then it sprang forward. Clearly, it had activated the Serpent Fang Strike skill again.

Although he was speaking, Ye Luo kept a close eye on the Snake King. The moment it sprang up, he decisively used Soul Shocking Slash. A massive sword-shaped phantom shot out with a heaven-shattering sword cry.

Ye Luo was lucky; he successfully stunned the Snake King. With that, they were free of worry for a short period and unleashed their strongest attacks.

Another two minutes passed, and Yan Hua Yi Leng said, "Ye Luo, the Snake King's Sweep the Army will be off cooldown in 10 seconds. To avoid being attacked simultaneously, I'll retreat 10 meters away, and you'll be responsible for tanking." As she spoke, she began to move back and slowed her attack speed.

At this moment, Ye Luo's health was above 900, and he still had the Soul Shocking Slash skill available. The cooldown for his elixirs had also finished. He could hold on for a while. He nodded and continued to attack the Snake King while repositioning.

Soon, the Snake King's skill cooldown was complete. This time, it didn't launch a surprise attack. It immediately swept its massive tail, without any warning, giving Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng no time to react.

As expected, Ye Luo was swept away and stunned again. What made them want to laugh and cry was that Yan Hua Yi Leng, who always had a high hit rate, actually missed. Furthermore, Frozen Arrow was dodged.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, Yan Hua Yi Leng didn't hold back and unleashed her strongest attack, drawing the Snake King's aggro in the shortest possible time. This gave Ye Luo a chance to breathe.

In reality, even if Yan Hua Yi Leng hadn't drawn the aggro, there wouldn't have been much danger. After all, it was just one skill, and without the high damage of Serpent Fang Strike, Ye Luo could have endured it.

However, Ye Luo's health was already below 400, and Yan Hua Yi Leng's damage output was higher. To defeat the Snake King as quickly as possible, increasing the attack power was necessary.

Having coordinated so many times, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng's teamwork was quite tacit. They no longer gave the Bamboo Viper Snake King a chance to use two skills on one person simultaneously. In this way, they attacked without much danger, and the Snake King's health slowly continued to drop.

More than ten minutes later, the Bamboo Viper Snake King had only over 20,000 health points left. Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng could see victory in sight. They suppressed their excitement and continued to attack.

"Ding~!"

System notification (Combat System): The Bamboo Viper Snake King's life is nearing its end. Under the threat of death, it has successfully broken through, evolving into Silver Grade. Its attributes have increased by 30%, and it has learned the Venom Spray skill.

As it spoke, a surge of powerful energy flowed into the Bamboo Viper Snake King. Its body grew larger, and its aura became several times more ferocious.

"Uh, monsters can also mutate and evolve?" Ye Luo exclaimed in surprise, looking at the Snake King, which was much thicker than before.

"Boss-level monsters have a certain chance to evolve and mutate when their health drops below 20%. This is common knowledge in the online gaming world," Yan Hua Yi Leng said, her tone as calm as ever. "For players like us, monster evolution brings more benefits, as it greatly increases the possibility of obtaining higher-tier equipment."

"But we have to survive to kill the monster first," Ye Luo muttered softly, but he didn't forget to replenish his health and continue attacking. At this point, he was unwilling to give up on the Snake King.

"Although the Snake King has evolved and its attributes have increased by 30%, its health has also increased proportionally to its remaining health. Its current health is less than 30,000," Yan Hua Yi Leng said, a hint of emotion in her tone. "Most importantly, its first two skills have just been used, so we have a high chance of killing it!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo also noticed that the Snake King had only 26,000 health points left. He was invigorated and unleashed combination skills, dealing nearly a thousand damage to the Snake King again. He even had the leisure to examine the Snake King's newly learned skill.

Venom Spray: A skill learned by the Bamboo Viper Snake King after evolving to Silver Grade. It can spray snake venom in a 60-degree fan-shaped area within 10 meters in front of it, forming a poisonous mist that inflicts targets with severe poison, causing them to lose 80 health points per second and reducing their defense by 30% for 10 seconds. The skill cooldown is 10 minutes.

"Uh, this Snake King's newly learned skill is so domineering," Ye Luo exclaimed. However, he quickly discovered the skill's characteristics. "But it can only spray venom in a fan shape. As long as we separate our positions, only one of us will be hit. And if we move away from the direction of its tongue, we might be able to dodge when it sprays the venom."

"I'm more than ten meters away from it, so I'm not worried about being hit by the venom at all," Yan Hua Yi Leng said indifferently, then looked at Ye Luo, who had moved to the opposite side. "So you need to be careful and keep your health above 800."

"Uh, this..." Ye Luo was dumbfounded.
