Chapter 228
With a "bang," the extreme cold power contained within exploded instantly, freezing most of the giant insect's body completely.
Hellscream high into the air, his battle axe blazing with black, doomsday fire, and slashed down fiercely at the monster's open mouth.
"Boom!!!"
A jet-black pillar of fire shot into the sky, and the giant worm let out a miserable cry, its massive body staggering back a few steps.
The crisis is over.
Shen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing.
Fortunately, the Black Dragon Lord provided some assistance, allowing him to see the monsters' skills in advance and thus predict their spellcasting based on their casting animations.
Otherwise, even if they could fight, it wouldn't be as easy as it is now.
At this moment, the rhythm of the battlefield was once again brought under their Control.
Hellscream, Xiao Hei Hound, and Black Jian San worked together to hold the giant worm back.
Leina led the Dretch Legion, continuously unleashing firepower from the rear.
After two or three minutes of fierce fighting, the battle was finally nearing its end.
During this time, the giant insect also unleashed a number of skills.
These include [Ground Collapse Vortex], which can create large-scale collapses, and [Worm Swarm Summoning], which can summon a large number of Elite larvae, among others.
But Shen Xing anticipated all of these moves and resolved them in time.
Similarly, Leina seized the opportunity and launched several consecutive attacks on him.
I have to say, this guy is really tough.
Any other Tier Three Boss would have been reduced to ashes after being hit by these rounds of concentrated fire.
But this guy still had strength.
However, it's nearing its limit.
The giant insect was covered in charred bullet holes, and it swayed, clearly on the verge of collapse.
Shen Xing estimated that another concentrated attack would be enough to wipe it out completely.
Just then, the giant insect suddenly abandoned all its attacks, retracted its forelimbs to its chest, and curled up its massive body.
Those cold eyes swept over the crowd, then the massive body suddenly sank, burrowing into the depths of the ground without warning.
With no target left to attack, the battlefield fell silent instantly.
"Be careful," Shen Xing said in a deep voice, "This guy might launch an attack on us from underground!"
Upon hearing this, the generals all became extremely vigilant, gripping their weapons tightly.
But to their surprise, the giant worm's first wave of attacks came not from the main force like Hellscream, but from the Dretch in the rear.
Two enormous bone spikes burst from the ground like lightning, and with a "poof," the two Dretch were pierced through on the spot. Before they could even scream, they were dragged deep into the ground.
Leina and Black Arrow reacted immediately, unleashing fireballs and ice arrows at the ground, but they were still a step too late.
That guy was too fast; he made his move and immediately fled.
The battlefield fell silent once more.
After a moment, Shen Xing heard a faint sound of wind.
Turning his head sharply, he saw two bone spikes silently emerge from the ground, dragging the other two Dretch underground.
Fast, too fast!
The entire process was completely silent, taking less than a second from breaking ground to dragging.
This elusive hunting method sends a chill down one's spine.
Even more unsettling was that as the giant insect continued its hunt, dragging the troops underground to devour them, the weakened aura could be clearly felt rapidly recovering.
Shen Xing took a deep breath to calm herself down.
He knew that in situations like this, he shouldn't rush things.
There must be some flaw to be found.
Leina and Xia Wanyin beside them also focused their attention, their senses spreading out like an invisible spider web, carefully capturing every tremor from the ground.
Suddenly, Xia Wanyin, who was standing next to him, spoke up, "Shen Xing, forty-five meters to your right rear!"
"Xiao Hei, the chains!"
Shen Xing issued the command almost without thinking.
"Pfft! Whoosh!"
Two bone spikes and a pitch-black chain shot out simultaneously.
Bone spikes pierced the bodies of two Dretch, but Xiao Hei's chains also burrowed deep into the ground, hitting their target.
"Hiss!!"
A hissing sound came from deep underground, and the black soil in that area began to churn violently.
Everyone was overjoyed, knowing they had finally caught the guy.
Chapter 159: Super High Drop Rate, Stable Gold-Giving BOSS!
Everyone was overjoyed, knowing they had finally caught the guy.
Just then, a terrifying force came from the other end of the chain, dragging Xiao Hei and his horse forward.
Hellscream grabbed the chain, his thick legs digging into the ground, and gritted his teeth as he dragged the chain back.
Sensing the threat, the giant worm began to struggle even more frantically.
The soil in that area churned violently, the force so great that even the two generals were no match for it, and they were dragged forward.
Shen Xing frowned, just about to call for backup.
"Roar!!"
Hellscream truly roared this time.
Its bat wings were fully extended, black flames surged from its body, and veins bulged all over its body!
Under its terrifying force, the earth began to rise, as if some enormous creature was being dragged out of the ground.
With a "whoosh" sound!
The giant dragon-blooded worm was forcibly pulled out, its massive body slamming heavily onto the ground.
Without Shen Xing giving the order, Leina and the Dretch Legion were already poised to attack, and hundreds of fireballs the size of washbasins rained down like meteors!
"Boom!!!"
Flames soared into the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daytime.
The sharp hissing stopped abruptly, and the giant insect's massive body collapsed with a crash.
The flesh and blood on his body rapidly receded after the Soul Fire was extinguished, and the massive skeleton scattered across the ground once more.
Then it weathered away completely in a short time, leaving only a few glittering treasures.
[Successfully defeated the Dragonblood Burrower, progress unlocked: 1/5]
"Snap!"
A crisp sound rang out from the center of the Dragon Tomb.
A crack ran from top to bottom across the surface of the massive tombstone.
However, Shen Xing had no time to pay attention to the tombstone at the moment; instead, he focused his gaze on the spoils dropped by the giant insect.
There, besides a dazzling soul, there was a green bead and a jet-black scythe.
He immediately sent the Fried Chicken flying, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the spoils into his backpack.
[Obtained: Reaper's Great Scythe (Gold)]
[Obtained: Dragonblood Burrower's Boss Soul (Tier Three) *1]
[Obtained: Advanced Material - Giant Worm Core (Tier Three)]
[Received: 15 Greater Soul Stone]
"!!!"
Shen Xing's eyes widened.
Good heavens, this time we not only got a Tier Three Boss Soul, but also a Tier Three Advancement Material!
These two items alone are worth over 150 million yuan.
What's more, there's also a golden weapon and a full 15 Greater Soul Stone behind it.
"As expected of a BOSS, the drop rate is too high."
Shen Xing sighed softly, feeling that the trip had been worthwhile.
Instead of checking the rewards immediately, he ordered, "Go to the main battlefield and help Gorehowl and the others clear out the remaining monsters."
"Yes, my lord!"
With the addition of these generals and the Dretch Legion, the battle became an overwhelming one-sided affair.
A large number of Dragon Tomb Guardian were killed, turning into Soul Stone and soul fragments scattered all over the ground.
Twenty minutes later, the last Dragon Tomb Guardian Priest was killed by Gorehowl's sword, and the battle ended.
Looking around, the ground was littered with the corpses of numerous half-dragons, but with a gentle breeze, they all turned to ashes and vanished into the world.
These Dragon Tomb Guardian had been dead for many years, but a special power within the Dragon Tomb allowed them to maintain their last vestiges of life and instincts.
Shen Xing took a deep breath and ordered, "Everyone, clean up the battlefield!"
The remaining troops immediately sprang into action.
Because there were quite a few monsters killed this time, it took more than ten minutes to clean up the battlefield.
Gorehowl gathered all the spoils and handed them over to the lord.
