Snow Lotus

Thankfully, the whole village went out to cut down trees today, otherwise they would have come running in shock when they saw the special effects of the Heaven-Tier Skill book.

"Congratulations to the player for creating a Heaven-Tier Skill book. This is now being announced server-wide. Would you like to hide your ID?"

"Hide."

Within the secret realm.

Where the Ice Wolf King fell, a short tree made of ice and snow suddenly appeared.

There were rows of glowing red orbs on top; the group counted them, and there were exactly twenty.

"Captain, is this a new item from the secret realm? One for each of us?" Da Fei leaned forward to look at the Red Orb, but didn't dare to take it.

He's having a bad day, so it's best not to do anything rash.

Having witnessed the previous Antidote incident, everyone now has a concept of what items might appear in the secret realm.

The Red Orb was clearly a prop prepared for them, but without Zhou He's order, no one dared to take it.

Zhou He frowned, looking at the low tree in front of him, his mind troubled. "What if this Red Orb is a trap?"

Jian Qingfeng: "I'll take it first."

He has the highest stats; even level 80 dungeon damage won't kill him instantly.

But Zhou He felt that as the strongest person in the Dragon Nation, Jian Qingfeng could not be allowed to have any accidents.

Jian Qingfeng didn't think so; the strong have their own pride.

If you always stood behind others when danger struck, how could you have gotten to where you are today?

"Okay." Zhou He finally nodded in agreement.

"The Doctor is monitoring his blood volume."

Jian Qingfeng looked at the Red Orb in front of him, took a deep breath, and reached out to pluck it.

The Red Orb disappeared immediately after he got it, as if it had merged into his palm. The next second, a system notification sounded.

"Congratulations, player, you have received the Gift of the Kind. Health +1."

Everyone watched Jian Qingfeng nervously. When the Red Orb disappeared immediately after being removed, their first thought was: This isn't a prop, it's a trap!

"Qingfeng! Are you alright!" Zhou He was shocked and rushed forward to check on Jian Qingfeng's condition.

Jian Qingfeng lit up with joy after he realized what the Red Orb was.

"I'm fine, this is Extra Life."

Extra Life! This is something only available in the Trial Secret Realm.

The 20 Red Orb represent that each of them will have one chance to die.

"That's wonderful!" Everyone was overjoyed.

Having Extra Life means there are costs associated with trial and error.

After someone plucked a Red Orb, the Ice Tree melted at their feet.

Full of confidence, everyone walked forward along the road.

Just then, the System Channel began broadcasting.

"System: Congratulations to the mysterious player for creating a Heaven-Tier Skill book. This is an official announcement."

"System: Congratulations to the mysterious player for creating a Heaven-Tier Skill book. This is an official announcement."

"System: Congratulations to the mysterious player for creating a Heaven-Tier Skill book. This is an official announcement."

"Holy crap, the skill books were just updated yesterday, and someone already created a Heaven-Tier Skill book today! Who is this amazing genius? I'm so envious!"

After the initial shock, Da Fei couldn't help but exclaim.

Jian Qingfeng and Zhou He exchanged a glance.

Another Heaven-Tier Skill has appeared in the game!

In the previous ten years, only four skills were created. In just two months this year, seven have already appeared in the game. With this Heaven-Tier Skill book, there are now eight Heaven-Tier Skills.

Unfortunately, so far, apart from Ye Bugu, they haven't found any other owners of Heaven-Tier Skill. The player who created the skill book this time also chose to hide their ID.

Zhou He was deeply worried, unsure whether the appearance of so many Heaven-Tier Skill was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Don't think too much, let's finish the dungeon first."

The group continued forward, and soon they arrived at a plaza-like area where they encountered the second boss of the secret realm.

Name: Snow Lotus (BOSS)

Level: 80

HP: 80000/80000

Everyone, including Zhou He and Jian Qingfeng, stared in disbelief at the BOSS in front of them.

The Snow Lotus is not a mutated plant, nor is it a Fierce Beast; it is a person, a woman.

She sat gracefully in the center of the square, dressed in white with white hair.

Her skin was so white it was almost transparent, and her face and exposed body were covered in shimmering snowflake patterns, which didn't seem to be painted on, but rather were naturally there.

What's most eye-catching is her forehead, where a black lotus pattern contrasts sharply with her sacred appearance.

If it weren't for the information above the woman's head, no one would have guessed that she was the second boss.

"She... she..."

Da Fei pointed at the BOSS not far away, unable to utter a complete sentence.

This world has no concept of immortals, demons, or ghosts, Da Fei didn't know how to describe it.

I feel that the BOSS is a person, but not entirely.

After the initial shock, everyone looked at Zhou He.

"Guild leader, what's going on? Why is this boss a person?"

Zhou He looked serious; he didn't know what was going on either.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a boss in the game.

I guess I shouldn't count as a person...

"Don't overthink it, let's fight."

Jian Qingfeng spoke.

The Snow Lotus and the Ice Wolf King have the same amount of health.

However, compared to the massive and ferocious Ice Wolf King, the slender Snow Lotus looked easier to fight.

But for some reason, Zhou He had a bad feeling.

He felt a little relieved knowing they had an extra life.

"Let's engage the monster."

The Snow Lotus's damage is not high; it's much weaker than the Ice Wolf King's.

Everyone felt much relieved.

While attacking, Zhou He observed the Snow Lotus's movements as Xiao Fan had instructed.

He paid particular attention to every instance when his health dropped by 10%.

According to Xiao Fan, if a BOSS has a special mechanism, it will usually release its attack at a specified percentage of its health.

Sure enough, when Snow Lotus's health dropped to 80%, Zhou He noticed a change in her movements.

"The BOSS is about to trigger its mechanics, everyone stop attacking." Zhou He didn't know what the Snow Lotus's mechanics were, so he could only stop attacking to deal with it.

The next second, he saw the Snow Lotus return to the center of the square, its graceful figure beginning to spin.

As she spun faster and faster, petals spread outwards from her as the center.

"Get out of the way!"

It goes without saying that being touched by a flower petal can cause harm.

The petals flew so fast and so densely that, except for a few people who moved with great skill, everyone was hit by the petals to some extent.

Fortunately, the petals didn't deal much damage, and with Jian Qingfeng activating a damage reduction skill in time, the Doctor managed to bring the low-health players back to health.

After the mechanism ended, no one lost their life.

Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief.

The humanoid Snow Lotus is easier to defeat than the Ice Wolf King, at least it doesn't have the weird mechanism of teammates turning into health bars.

This obvious mechanism suggests he still has confidence in his teammates.

Players who come here to explore the wilderness are all quite skilled.

When the BOSS's health was close to 50%, Zhou He noticed that the black lotus on her forehead began to flicker.

He immediately realized that there was another mechanism at play.

"The boss will trigger a mechanic when its health drops to 50%, so prepare to stop attacking."

Zhou He gave an advance warning.

Just as Zhou He was about to call a halt when the BOSS's health reached fifty percent, Snow Lotus's body suddenly rose into the air and floated a hundred meters above the center of the square.

"Holy crap! It can fly!"

Da Fei exclaimed in surprise, suddenly feeling as if he had stepped on something. His health began to drop rapidly, and when he tried to move away, he found himself trapped in place.

-8HP

-8HP

Looking down, I saw a black lotus flower.

No need to think about it, this is the BOSS mechanism.

Da Fei sighed inwardly at his bad luck today.

Fortunately, although this mechanism causes continuous health loss, the loss is minimal, and you can withstand it for more than ten minutes without any problems.

"Watch out for the Black Lotus on the ground, stepping on them will cause you to lose health," Da Fei warned his teammates, looking at the Black Lotus appearing on the ground.

Although there are many Black Lotus on the ground, the spaces between them are quite wide, so as long as you are careful, you will not step on them.

Of the team, only Da Fei was imprisoned.

"Clear the wind and release the control."

Jian Qingfeng rolled his eyes, a rare occurrence for him. It was as if he had bought the book "Soul Suppressor" specifically for Da Fei.

As the flute music began, the restraints on Da Fei disappeared.

Da Fei was a little embarrassed and was about to apologize.

Snow Lotus, hundreds of meters in the air, suddenly descended at an extremely high speed.

As she landed, a visible air wave spread outwards.

Before Zhou He could speak, a system notification appeared.

You are dead.
