Ding! You caused damage to the Desolate Shrine scene, drawing the pursuit of Mist Island hunters!
Almost at the same instant the notification sounded, Xu Kun retreated at top speed. The spot where he had been standing was instantly covered by a pool of green fluid. The vegetation on the ground was corroded away in an instant, bubbling with white foam!
"Gulp!" Xu Kun swallowed hard.
Mist Island hunters?
There had been no record of such beings on the metal wristband!
Xu Kun's scalp went numb. The lingering fear in his heart continued to whirl around, impossible to dispel!
The Fire Dragon Barrier covered his body as Xu Kun stared vigilantly in every direction!
At last, rustling came from a dense patch of grass. Xu Kun followed the sound, and the moment he saw the creature reveal itself, a chill ran through his entire body and goosebumps erupted all over him!
A huge termite emerged. It resembled a Corrosive Poison Termite Race, but it was dozens, perhaps even hundreds of times larger!
Its entire body was crystalline. Within its otherwise ordinary termite-like form, green fluid representing deadly poison surged everywhere, flowing toward its front mandibles!
Thick venom continuously dripped from its mandibles onto the ground, corroding inch after inch of soil beneath it!
Its two thick antennae twitched back and forth, as if confirming the enemy's presence!
Its bloated abdomen heaved up and down as it dragged across the ground. Who knew what it was doing!
Xu Kun held his breath and watched the giant termite from afar.
The Myriad Races Bestiary appeared in his hand, emitting a soft glow that enveloped the giant termite's entire body!
The giant termite did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. It appeared to be waiting for something!
As he watched the blank page sketch out the giant termite's image, Xu Kun was both shocked and delighted!
Such a massive termite had to be a boss, but the pressure it gave him was too overwhelming for him to act rashly!
Soon, detailed information appeared on the page!

Introduction: The king termite born among the F-tier Mist Island race, the Corrosive Poison Termite Race. Its duty is to patrol the Desolate Shrine, and it hunts anyone who damages the shrine!
Note: The Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor is the Corrosive Poison Termite Race's sole ultimate boss!
After seeing the attributes of the huge termite before him, Xu Kun's mouth fell open wide enough to fit an ostrich egg!
An E-rank boss!
The Corrosive Poison Termite Race's sole ultimate boss!
Powerful attributes!
Both its Physical and Magic Attack Power had reached 500. With his tiny frame, he would not even survive two bites from it!
Its health had reached a staggering 5000. The Minotaur Chieftain's 2000 health was not even worthy of carrying its shoes!
But that was not even the worst of it. With 288 Poison Attack and 128 Poison Resistance Ignore, it was enough to teach rookie trial-takers what true despair meant!
Even if someone, like Xu Kun, had gained resistance bonuses from equipment early on and happened to have Poison Resistance, the 128 Poison Resistance Ignore would probably reduce it straight to zero!
Thankfully, he had sensed something wrong and dodged that Poison Marsh. Otherwise, with 500 Magic Attack Power plus 288 Poison Attack, he would probably have been left at critical health!
As expected, its E-rank talent had doubled the original F-tier talent of the Corrosive Poison Termite Race!
This boss's two skills, the same as those of ordinary Corrosive Poison Termite Races, had correspondingly increased damage and recovery. It also had an additional skill... Egg Laying!
Xu Kun's thoughts raced. Seeing the huge termite's abdomen constantly heaving, he immediately realized that it was laying eggs!
At that moment, Xu Kun's gaze toward the giant termite was blazing with excitement!
Heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard. He had finally encountered an E-rank boss, and it was even a race's sole ultimate boss!
If he could kill this Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor, did that mean he would gain control over the entire Corrosive Poison Termite Race?
He could also obtain an E-rank talent, as well as the massive loot drop of an E-rank boss!
Then... how should he deal with this giant termite?
Xu Kun regretted using Wrath of the Fire Dragon to clear the small monsters earlier. If he had saved it, he could have wiped it out in one go now. No matter how strong this giant termite was, it could not withstand 5000 Fire Attribute damage per second!
And judging from their respective attributes, if he tried to kite it, even against the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor with all attributes reduced by 30% in its weakened state, it would still take quite some effort. With its immense damage, he would be in extreme danger!
That meant the only way to quickly deal with this giant termite without risking injury was...
Unyielding Starfire!
Since fighting his way here, Xu Kun had only used this SSS-tier skill once, on the Minotaur Chieftain!
Now that all the level-10 monsters had been cleared, and he had only encountered one boss before this, Xu Kun had originally stacked 100 layers of Unyielding Starfire to save for the final boss...
Watching the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor's abdomen constantly wriggle, Xu Kun could not stop the corners of his mouth from lifting. "Heaven is helping me!"
Xu Kun did not attack. Instead, he quietly waited for the giant termite to lay its eggs. Its antennae kept swaying, proving that it remained on guard against a possible attack from Xu Kun at all times!
It was laying eggs, but that did not mean it had lost its means of attack. Its close-range attacks were equally terrifying. It looked wide open, but in reality, it was luring him into a trap!
That could be seen from its constantly chewing mandibles!
Soon, the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor's body trembled. The green coloration across its body flowed toward its lower half. Beneath its reproductive glands, eggs fell one after another, cracked open, and familiar Corrosive Poison Termite Races crawled out!
The Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor entered its weakened state. With a twitch of its antennae, the newborn Corrosive Poison Termite Races immediately launched an attack on Xu Kun under its command!
These newborn Corrosive Poison Termite Races were not like the ones that had occupied the Desolate Shrine earlier and followed some sense of honor. In other words, the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor had ordered the previous termites to defend the shrine, while the command it gave this new batch was to kill Xu Kun!
Xu Kun swung his longsword, creating a screen of dust before him. It was the Flying Sand and Rolling Stones skill!
Then sparks flickered in his palm as he locked onto the distant insect emperor in its weakened state!
"Explode!"
Terrifying energy erupted from the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor as the sparks fell. Even with 5000 health, its health was instantly emptied!
A magnificent loot explosion!
Ignoring the rapid notifications ringing in his ears, Xu Kun did not dare hesitate. He cast Wildfire Scorches the Plains blindly toward the newly born Corrosive Poison Termite Race swarm trapped by the dust. The area was not large, but because the termites were so tiny, dozens of them were killed in an instant!
He charged forward, stunning one termite while using Stomp to immobilize every termite around him. His 4.2-meter fire sword slashed wildly, taking the lives of Corrosive Poison Termite Races one after another!
Using every trick he had, Xu Kun relied on his high mobility to continually dodge the Poison Marshes spat out by the remaining Corrosive Poison Termite Races!
Finally, after much effort, those Corrosive Poison Termite Races that had just witnessed the beauty of the world were sent off to paradise!
With insect corpses littering the ground, Xu Kun collapsed onto the floor without a care.
