Introduction: A chieftain that has fought its way out of the F-tier Minotaur tribe. It has an extremely violent personality, and any existence that provokes it is bound to suffer its relentless charging attacks. Weak enemies are only fit to tremble and submit under its heavy hooves!

After reading the information about this magnificent, mountain-like Minotaur Chieftain, Xu Kun gulped.

"These stats are insane!"

Apart from its talent, which is still the ordinary F-tier Minotaur Strength, all other stats of this giant minotaur have exploded!

Even though its movement speed is 0.1M/S slower than that of ordinary minotaurs due to its large size, its [Minotaur Charge] skill perfectly makes up for the lack of movement speed!

Enemies locked onto within a 10-meter range will have nowhere to hide!

Not to mention the 220 Physical Attack, which is already enough to easily break through Xu Kun's current level 4 defense of 136!

With 150 Physical and Magical Defense, coupled with its own 2000 Health, Xu Kun's basic attacks aren't even enough to scratch it!

What's more, in addition to [Minotaur Charge], the [Trample] skill, which shares the same name as other minotaurs, has also been greatly enhanced, and the key is that both of these skills come with crowd control!

One is a stun (unable to perform any actions), and the other is a freeze (unable to move). Besides the fact that it can pose a decent damage threat to Xu Kun, more importantly, as a boss, it has the ability to command its subordinates to fight!

Even if the attacks of ordinary minotaurs can only cause a mandatory -1 damage to Xu Kun!

That's enough to threaten Xu Kun's life!

After his initial shock, Xu Kun wiped a handful of excited saliva from the corner of his mouth… ah, no, tears!

Heaven have mercy, he thought that he wouldn't have the chance to add to the kill count of bosses in his [Myriad Races Bestiary] on the first floor of the Haotian Pagoda's novice trial!

But now, this old bull has delivered itself to his doorstep!

Great fortune, tonight we're having beef!

"I'll accept your talent, and I look forward to the moment you drop a lot of loot!"

After saying that, Xu Kun's palm showed a few sparks, which was the prelude to the release of his SSS-grade skill, Unyielding Starfire!

That's right, when dealing with a boss whose stats are stronger than his own, Xu Kun is already planning to use the Unyielding Starfire, which he had already collected on the Cavern Giant Rat in the level 1 monster area, to carry out a one-shot kill plan!

I don't care how high your defense is, or how thick your health bar is!

As long as your fire resistance isn't high enough, the Unyielding Starfire, which can instantly deal nearly 30,000 damage at level 4, is enough to kill this Minotaur Chieftain more than a dozen times!

"No!" Just as Xu Kun was about to get up, he thought about it and extinguished the flames in his palm.

At this moment, the Minotaur Chieftain was heavily surrounded by a group of minotaurs. He could instantly kill it, but after killing it, he probably wouldn't be able to easily go up and loot the corpse in a short amount of time!

Boss drops are different from picking up the corpses of small monsters!

As a top student, Xu Kun naturally knew that he could only scavenge some materials from ordinary small monsters, but bosses are different!

The reason why bosses are so sought after is because every time you kill one, it's a surefire win!

The most basic thing is Spirit Stone Shards, which are the unified currency circulating throughout the Haotian Pagoda and among the myriad races!

According to unreliable sources, the price of one F-tier Spirit Stone Shard is as high as 10,000 Human Race coins!

A boss definitely won't only drop one or two, just thinking about this is exciting!

In addition to that, boss drops also include equipment, skill books, high-level materials, and all kinds of valuable miscellaneous items!

Among them, the most important thing is equipment. Taking the novice trial stage as an example, 99.99% of the trial participants complete the entire novice trial map with a set of novice three-piece suits!

Without killing bosses, you won't have the chance to get new equipment!

Don't think that Xu Kun obtained a complete set of A-grade equipment at level 0, but according to Xu Kun's own judgment, this set of equipment probably won't be outdated until level 20!

Many people are still in awe of the Perfected Blazing Spirit Set even when they reach level 20!

The price of ordinary F-tier single-piece equipment is tens of thousands, and it is still a case of having the money but not being able to buy it!

Overall, according to official data, even the value of the lowest-level F-tier race boss is no less than 100,000 Human Race coins, which is enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for several years!

The above is only based on the scope of ordinary people, but is Xu Kun an ordinary person?

He is the child of fortune with maxed-out luck!

Bosses drop equipment starting at E-grade, which can easily sell for tens or even hundreds of thousands!

Calculating for maximum profit, Xu Kun instantly killing the Minotaur Chieftain from a distance is definitely an unwise choice. Under the threat of the Minotaur herd's own Trample skill, Xu Kun might find it impossible to move after killing the boss!

Talent, boss kill count, drops, I want it all!

But the drops from a boss are time-limited. For a low-level F-grade boss like the Minotaur Chieftain, the drops only last for ten minutes. Xu Kun doesn't think he can safely navigate through the Minotaur herd and collect the loot within ten minutes!

"I still need to outsmart them!"

Xu Kun suppressed his excitement and decided to take it one step at a time!

Clear the mobs first, then deal with the main course - the boss!

When Xu Kun emerged from behind the tree he was hiding behind, the Minotaur herd, which had been quietly drinking water, noticed his presence.

Moo~

A Minotaur closest to Xu Kun let out a warning growl, its front hooves scraping the ground, its bovine eyes fixed on Xu Kun, ready to attack at the slightest provocation!

"Shut up!"

Xu Kun didn't indulge its temper, immediately throwing an Explosive Fireball, which exploded in a burst of sparks on the Minotaur's head!

-940

The Chosen One's 100% critical hit rate made killing low-level mobs as easy as chopping vegetables!

The high damage value far exceeded this Minotaur's health limit. With a reluctant "Moo," the Minotaur that had threatened Xu Kun fell to the ground in defeat!

Ding, you have killed a Minotaur, experience +0.5%!

The experience value has decreased again. If Xu Kun's current experience pool is only 4th level 0%, then he would need to kill the entire Minotaur herd to gain enough experience to reach 5th level!

After instantly killing a Minotaur, the death of its kin aroused the hatred of the other Minotaurs, but they didn't attack immediately. Instead, they all looked towards the Minotaur Chieftain in the center!

The Minotaur Chieftain slowly raised its large head. Xu Kun could even see contempt in its eyes!

Then, it let out a low roar, and the other Minotaurs understood, walking towards Xu Kun in groups of two or three.

"Hehe, sending the underlings to their deaths first? Just what I wanted!"

Seeing several Minotaurs gathering, Xu Kun decisively threw out a Wildfire. Before the kill notification could sound, he was already drawing his sword and attacking from the side!

"Quick Strike!"

Xu Kun's speed suddenly increased, attacking the three Minotaurs approaching from the side.

-234 -19 -20

The effects of Bleed and Paralysis Venom appeared simultaneously. The already slow Minotaurs were further slowed down. The Flame Spirit Sword's Splash attribute could also apply these two buff-type skills!

-7 -7 -7

Under the true damage, all defense was useless. Taking advantage of the Bleed and slow, Xu Kun delivered another strike to the other two Minotaurs that had been splashed!

After three strikes, Xu Kun retreated without looking back, leaving the three Minotaurs with a 14.3% reduced movement speed unable to keep up with Xu Kun's pace. With the Bleed effect on their heads, they staggered a few steps. Soon, their health bars were emptied, and the three Minotaurs fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!

In a flash, the 4 Minotaurs that had been chasing Xu Kun were also killed within the coverage of Wildfire!

Ding, you have killed 7 Minotaurs, experience +3.5%!

"Moo moo moo~"

Seeing his subordinates falling one after another at the enemy's hands, the Minotaur Chieftain let out an angry roar. The earth trembled. Xu Kun, who had already retreated, looked back.

Apart from the dozen or so weaker Minotaurs surrounding the Minotaur Chieftain, the remaining one hundred and eighty or so Minotaurs were charging towards him with steady steps!

"Not picking strong ones for guards, are those few little cows?"

Seeing that the Minotaur Chieftain still wasn't moving, Xu Kun joked easily, but he also had an idea in his mind!

Not giving these slow-moving Minotaurs a chance to surround him, Xu Kun used the terrain of the forest to play guerrilla warfare, kiting the stupid cows with the two ranged skills Explosive Fireball and Wildfire.

"Sigh, Wrath of the Fire Dragon still has ten minutes of cooldown, otherwise I would have just gone for a one-wave push!"

Xu Kun said, but his hands didn't slow down. He occasionally found a few straggling Minotaurs and easily reaped their lives without giving them a chance to use Trample!

Indeed, relying on Wrath of the Fire Dragon could easily clear the field, but Xu Kun's ambition wasn't there. His science teacher had told them that relying solely on powerful skills and the power of equipment made it difficult to master superb combat skills!

When climbing to higher levels, it was easy to encounter existences with skill-sealing abilities. At this time, you had to rely on your own qualities and engage in the bloodiest melee combat with the opponent!

Positioning, finding opportunities, using strengths to compensate for weaknesses, these were qualities that a strong person must possess!

Gym Teacher: The science teacher is right!

"Hehe, positioning, positioning, the ghost blade is unleashed, you can't see it!"

Although this group of Minotaurs was annoyed by Xu Kun's shameless tactics, who told them they were slow? They could only watch helplessly as Xu Kun reaped the lives of their companions one after another!

"Time's almost up!"

Looking at the cooldown time of Wrath of the Fire Dragon, which had entered a one-minute countdown, he had also killed dozens of Minotaurs during this time. The Minotaurs behind him were already shoulder to shoulder, trying to squeeze Xu Kun's range of movement!

This time, Xu Kun didn't retreat but advanced, charging directly towards the Minotaur herd!

Seeing this, the Minotaurs, who were distressed by not being able to touch Xu Kun, let out joyful roars!

However, just as this group of Minotaurs was facing a formidable enemy, preparing to attack in unison, Xu Kun leaped up, easily stepping on the backs of the Minotaurs, jumping to their rear!

"Hey, stupid cows, come hit me, neener neener neener!"

Feeling deeply insulted in their intelligence, the minotaurs angrily turned their bodies around. However, their original shoulder-to-shoulder formation made it difficult for these large minotaurs to turn around at once. Each one was bumping into the other's rear, and they were squeezing each other's faces, causing chaos on the scene!

Xu Kun jogged a few steps and returned to the small river, facing the small mountain-like Minotaur Chieftain across the river!

Seeing that his subordinates couldn't do anything to this little shrimp, the Minotaur Chieftain was so angry that two streams of white mist spewed from its nostrils!

"What are you looking at?"

"Moo moo moo moo~"

"Tch!"

Ignoring the Minotaur Chieftain's angry roar, Xu Kun conjured a fireball in his palm and threw it towards its side.

"Moo~"

A "delicate" minotaur beside the Minotaur Chieftain couldn't withstand such damage and immediately fell beside the Minotaur Chieftain!

Seeing this, the Minotaur Chieftain's eyes turned red. It mournfully licked the "beautiful cow" beside it, whose face had been completely destroyed by the Explosive Fireball. Then, its bull eyes stared fixedly at Xu Kun!

Ding, you have been locked on by the Minotaur Chieftain!

"As expected, it's this guy's harem. Come on, avenge your wife!"

Xu Kun provocatively waved at the Minotaur Chieftain. As he wished, the Minotaur Chieftain's hooves flew as it charged straight into the small river, rushing towards Xu Kun!

Its massive size even caused a brief interruption in the river's flow!

Water splashed everywhere, and the Minotaur Chieftain, with its speed doubled, quickly came within 10 meters of Xu Kun!

Xu Kun's expression remained unchanged. At this moment, the minotaur herd was divided into three parts!

One part was still struggling to turn around in the forest, preparing to reunite with their boss and knock Xu Kun, this uninvited guest, to death!

Another part was the "beautiful cows" on the opposite bank, cheering and supporting the Minotaur Chieftain who had initiated the Minotaur Charge!

The last part was this giant minotaur that had already approached Xu Kun, which was also Xu Kun's biggest target on this trip - the boss of the minotaur herd!

Sparks flickered in his palm. Xu Kun waved his hand and scattered them towards the Minotaur Chieftain. Countless sparks fell and landed on the Minotaur Chieftain's broad back!

"Snap!"

Xu Kun snapped his fingers and then naturally turned around.

Boom!

The Minotaur Chieftain's body, which was halfway through its charge, suddenly exploded, creating a wave of air that instantly evaporated the small river beneath it!

A real man never looks back at explosions!

Feeling the sound of the massive body falling to the ground behind him, Xu Kun glanced indifferently at the minotaur herd that had already rushed out of the forest!

Before, these minotaurs were scattered on both sides of the river, and even the Wrath of the Fire Dragon, with its enormous power, was not enough to cover the entire field. But now, under Xu Kun's deliberate lure, the range was just right!

Xu Kun waved the Flame Spirit Sword, feeling the familiar heat coming from the sword, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"I'll send you to see your boss!"

A fire dragon leaped out from the sword and fell into the forest in front. Soon, a raging fire broke out, and the minotaurs had no choice but to kneel down and be swallowed by the flames!

With the battle settled, Xu Kun slowly turned around, patted the Minotaur Chieftain's big head that was close at hand, and then looked at the dozen or so "beautiful cows" trembling on the opposite bank!

"Go and accompany your king properly!"

With a final move, Wildfire turned into a rain of fire and fell, covering the heads of those dozen delicate minotaurs!

Ding, congratulations on killing the F-tier boss Minotaur Chieftain, experience +...
