Defeating Shattered Frost

The group continued to focus their attacks on the BOSS, while Xiao Fan would kill one of the smaller monsters each round to prevent the BOSS from summoning more.

Soon, Xiao Fan cleared out all the "Powerhouse" and "Fearless Demon" items from the platform, leaving only "Undying".

"Undying" means truly "Undying"!

Xiao Fan really couldn't handle this mob that had even more health than the boss.

Fortunately, this thing does little damage, so we can ignore it.

The only annoying thing is that this little monster has a taunt skill; it can use it occasionally to randomly target a player and make them attack it.

Xiao Fan had already been called out three times, and he suspected that this thing only mocked the strong.

The ensuing battle went smoothly.

The BOSS summoned two attack-type minions, which Xiao Fan cleared away. He ignored the "Undying" minions that were summoned.

I've gotten used to being mocked, so it's nothing special.

Once the summoning mechanics were clear, this boss wasn't difficult to defeat. Aside from its high damage output, it had no other mechanics, and the group easily defeated it.

As the BOSS's health dwindled, everyone seemed to be injected with adrenaline, unleashing a frenzied barrage of attacks.

"Is it finally going to pass?"

Everyone was both excited and nervous, fearing that something unexpected might happen again after reaching this point.

Fortunately, nothing happened until the BOSS, Shattered Frost, had its last drop of health depleted.

Its corpse did not fall; instead, in its final moments, it struggled to look up at the sky. Its feet gradually turned to metal, then the metal spread to its legs, upper body, neck...

Finally, it transformed into a golden statue with a human body and a rabbit's head.

The eight "Undying" creatures that hadn't been killed surrounding them also vanished into thin air along with the BOSS's demise.

Xiao Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the boss's death is equivalent to passing the level, and the mobs will die along with it."

That makes sense. If players have to manually kill a monster with 240,000 HP, the difficulty of this boss would increase by a thousandfold.

This is clearly illogical.

"Finally, we won..."

Apart from Xiao Fan, everyone else in the team was almost in tears.

It's so hard! It's so hard for them!

A whole week! A whole week! God knows how they spent that week!

He gets beaten up by an endless stream of monsters every day, leaving him bruised and battered.

Today! They've finally turned things around!

"It has to be Brother Chen! He passed it in one go, he's amazing!"

"Of course, don't you know who Brother Chen is? He's the undisputed number one commander in the Dragon Nation."

The word "worship" has been overused.

The crowd surrounded Xiao Fan, showering him with praise.

Only the fat man walked up to the statue that the BOSS had turned into and kicked it twice viciously.

"Damn boss! Try summoning another monster and see what happens!"

The fat man looked smug; he had finally gotten his revenge!

Xiao Fan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Don't kick it back to life."

"Huh? It can be resurrected?"

The fat man was startled and quickly moved aside, watching the Boss warily.

It's clear he truly believed it.

The crowd let out good-natured laughter.

At that moment, the system voice suddenly sounded.

"Congratulations to the player for defeating Shattered Frost. All members of the team have gained temporary speed attribute in the Secret Realm."

Xiao Fan:...

Super not hehe.

Based on his past experience, there's a 99% chance that the temporary stat boosts from defeating a boss will become incredibly powerful later on.

In other words, there's a boss to fight later in this secret realm, and it's very strong!

Xiao Fan suddenly felt that it wasn't a big deal for the fat man to kick him a couple of times.

"I wonder if the other three teams have cleared the stage yet."

Although all twelve platforms were at the same height, Xiao Fan and his team could not see the other teams' situations from their positions.

"We'll find out when we go down."

Although Qin Muyu said that, she was very certain that the other teams hadn't passed.

It's not that she doesn't trust the other teams, it's that she trusts them too much!

After the BOSS is defeated, a white halo appears at the edge of the platform.

Xiao Fan went in first, and a prompt appeared in front of him.

"Should we return to the square?"

"Yes."

The next second, Xiao Fan felt a mysterious force lifting him up and causing him to fall.

Xiao Fan's feet had barely touched the ground when an urgent voice came from behind him.

"Gods, you guys beat it?"

The Ye Bugu; Xiao Fan turned around.

"Holy crap! What are you all doing here?"

Behind him, the Ye Bugu, the Feng Qi, and Bai Qian's three teams were staring straight at him. She suddenly turned around, startling Xiao Fan.

At this point, the rest of the team also came down from the platform.

"Hey! What are you guys doing here? Did you beat the boss?"

The fat man, with his protruding belly, walked forward.

Seeing his smug look, everyone instantly understood.

Xiao Fan's team has cleared the path.

Actually, having waited so long below the platform, they had already guessed that Xiao Fan's team had likely passed.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long.

"Jiu Chen's abilities in the secret realm are indeed well-deserved."

Feng Qi and Bai Qian thought the same thing at the same time.

They had previously raided these dungeons together, so they were well aware of the difficulty of the bosses.

As soon as Jiu Chen arrived, the team cleared the stage in one go.

Indeed, a person's reputation is well-deserved.

Jiu Chen truly deserves the title of the number one overpowered character in the Cloud Sea.

Ye Bugu had long since lost all suspicion of Xiao Fan.

Jiu Chen is just that invincible!

"Have you found the conditions for the boss to summon minions?"

After the initial shock, Bai Qian couldn't help but ask.

She had been fighting that boss for a few days and was curious about the summoning conditions.

Before Xiao Fan could speak, the fat man waved and smiled at her.

"Haha, it's not that amazing after all."

Bai Qian:...

Can't you even listen to what I'm asking?!

"Stop messing around, there are still 11 bosses to fight here."

Xiao Fan pulled the fat man aside and shared the summoning mechanics of the Shattered Frost Rabbit boss with the other three teams.

They are now in a secret location and should be sharing information.

"I can't believe it!" Bai Qian's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Who would have thought!

"I suspect the conditions for these twelve bosses to summon minions lie within the minions themselves. You can try to find them."

Xiao Fan suggested.

"Hey pro, why don't you come join our team and give us some pointers? We're all in the same dungeon, so switching players shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Ye Bugu suddenly had this great idea.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi and Bai Qian's eyes lit up instantly.

If Xiao Fan could join their team, wouldn't they be able to easily defeat the BOSS?

Xiao Fan:...

So everyone else fights three bosses, but he fights twelve?

Hehe.

Xiao Fan shook his head.

"This won't do."

"Why? We haven't even tried it yet!" Ye Bugu, unwilling to give up.

"Because for each boss defeated, everyone in the team will gain a temporary attribute from the dungeon."

"I suspect these attributes will be useful when the team fights the final boss in the later stages of the dungeon."

"We should aim to ensure everyone gains all three attributes in the early stages," Xiao Fan explained.

"What? This secret realm only has 12 bosses? There are bigger ones later on?"
