Chapter 326: Chapter 323: Teasing the BOSS

A great battle was about to erupt. The four-person team leaped from the Water Luminous Beast’s back at almost the same time, charging toward the behemoth before them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Earth Breath Beast’s footsteps thundered like rolling thunder. The hilly terrain was like flat ground beneath its feet. Seeing the four turn back to counterattack, the Earth Breath Beast let out a cold roar. A terrifying sonic wave blasted out, fierce as a gale and powerful as a tidal wave.

"Brother Feng, what’s the plan? You take command," Sirlius shouted, his expression grim.

"This thing is huge and its movements are sluggish. Your job is to harass it. Don’t worry about dealing much damage, just make sure you don’t get hit," Feng Hao replied in a low voice. With his primary and secondary Su Mu Daggers in hand, he fearlessly charged underneath the Earth Breath Beast.

"Understood." Sirlius nodded. The Contract Mark on his brow glittered as a surge of Magic Power flowed through the air and into the Water Luminous Beast.

The next moment, the Water Luminous Beast was suffused with a golden light. Its aura intensified several times over as it roared and charged at the Earth Breath Beast.

However, the size difference was too great. To the Earth Breath Beast, the Water Luminous Beast’s bites were like a mere tickle, completely ineffective. Left with no choice, it could only attack with water-elemental Magic.

The Earth Breath Beast clearly paid the Water Luminous Beast no mind. It raised a clawed hoof and swatted at Sirlius, a move powerful enough to blot out the sky.

"ROAR—!" The Water Luminous Beast reacted quickly. It instantly turned back, shot forward like a cannonball to get in front of Sirlius, and scooped him onto its back, narrowly avoiding the Earth Breath Beast’s attack.

Meanwhile, Jin Li and Xi Yueyao had already launched their attacks from two other directions.

Xi Yueyao loved grand scenes like this, so she was in a state of excitement from the very beginning. The shadow of her dark-red whip flickered continuously, lashing against the Earth Breath Beast’s tough armor.

"How is it only a little over two thousand damage? No, no way! This is pissing me off!"

Xi Yueyao pouted in dissatisfaction. Her lithe figure darted back and forth, and before anyone knew it, she had climbed onto the Earth Breath Beast’s back. Then, to everyone’s astonishment, she leaped onto its head, aimed for its eyes, and began whipping them relentlessly.

As it turned out, the young lady’s idea was correct.

The Earth Breath Beast’s entire body was covered in hard, black armor with almost no weak points. The most obvious vulnerability was its eyes.

Unfortunately, the Earth Breath Beast was no fool. It quickly shut its eyes and, with a violent shake of its head, sent Xi Yueyao flying.

The moment Xi Yueyao was thrown, Sirlius and the Water Luminous Beast arrived just in time to catch her.

"Yaoyao, are you okay?" Sirlius asked nervously.

"Don’t worry, I’m not that easy to kill." Xi Yueyao smirked, her eyes full of confidence.

It couldn’t be helped. With her ice sculpture talent, she was indeed the last person they needed to worry about.

On the other side, Jin Li had already transformed into a Dark Gold Bronze Man. His fists flew in a blur, wildly striking the Earth Breath Beast’s body and producing a series of bell-like chimes, which quickly drew the beast’s attention.

Meanwhile, Feng Hao had already hidden beneath the Earth Breath Beast. While using [Shadowmeld] on himself, he fed the potent poison [A Little Red] to his Poisonous Chain.

’A Little Red only works on contact with blood. I have to find a way to make a wound.’

Feng Hao frowned in thought, then tried to use [Dark Moon Massacre] with his off-hand Su Mu Dagger.

His off-hand Su Mu Dagger had a high sharpness attribute after being fused with a Natural Essence. Combined with the destructive effect of a mastered [Dark Moon Massacre], even ordinary fifth-tier equipment would struggle to withstand it.

But the Earth Breath Beast’s black armor remained completely unscathed, which gave Feng Hao a major headache.

Fortunately, the Earth Breath Beast wasn’t paying him any attention; it was still "playing" with Sirlius and the other two.

’No, I have to aim for a weak point.’

With his attack having failed, Feng Hao didn’t hesitate. He quickly used Shadow Strike to get behind the Earth Breath Beast, where a giant black "chrysanthemum" appeared before him.

He hadn’t wanted to be so crass, but the Earth Breath Beast’s armor was just too tough. He could only aim for its... chrysanthemum.

’Damn it, the smell is eye-watering!’ Feng Hao cursed inwardly. Forcing himself to endure the nauseating stench, he raised his hand and stabbed.

As it turned out, for most creatures, the "chrysanthemum" is always a vulnerable spot. As soon as Feng Hao’s dagger struck, blood gushed out.

Feeling the sharp pain from its rear, the Earth Breath Beast went berserk, its thick tail whipping around wildly.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Under the successive blows, a large swath of the mountain forest was flattened, leaving behind a series of stunning gullies.

Thankfully, Feng Hao’s footwork was slick, and he was protected by the phasing effect of [Shadow Strike], allowing him to narrowly avoid the lashing of the beast’s tail.

"Go!"

Feng Hao once again slipped beneath the Earth Breath Beast. He flung out the [Poisonous Chain], and after absorbing the [A Little Red] poison, the chain’s color deepened considerably. It was now shrouded in a black halo, looking utterly sinister.

Guided by his Divine Sense, the chain accurately pierced the Earth Breath Beast’s chrysanthemum, pouring all of the poison in through the wound.

At that moment, the Earth Breath Beast finally sensed the danger. Its life force immediately lost its ability to regenerate, and its health began to drop continuously under the 500-potency poison.

Perhaps because of the Earth Breath Beast’s immense size, the toxins from A Little Red were significantly weakened.

According to Feng Hao’s Crystal Eye, it was only dealing 271 points of poison damage per second, but that was already enough.

"AWOO~!" The Earth Breath Beast roared and collapsed to the ground, trying to crush Feng Hao.

But Feng Hao had already anticipated this. Using the retracting force of his Poisonous Chain, he slid out from under the Earth Breath Beast.

He immediately unleashed a Secret Technique combo: [Dark Moon Massacre] + [Moon Wheel Dance] + [Moon Thorn] + [Shadow Sparks]. The full combo dealt less than thirty thousand damage, but a staggering 60 points of life force damage.

It might not seem like much, but for life force, 60 points of damage was terrifying!

You have to understand, the Earth Breath Beast only had 1091 total life force. And because of the effects of [A Little Red], its Qi Blood could never fully regenerate, which meant its life force couldn’t recover on its own.

Life force could only begin to recover on its own after Qi Blood was full. This was precisely why Feng Hao dared to challenge the Earth Breath Beast.

To be honest, without the effects of [A Little Red], the Earth Breath Beast’s Qi Blood would have quickly refilled, and at that point, his piddling life force damage would never have been enough to wear it down.

"Haha, a combo for 60 points of life force damage! Nicely done, Brother Feng!" Sirlius, who had also monitored Feng Hao’s damage, couldn’t help but laugh excitedly.

At this point, the Earth Breath Beast finally recognized Feng Hao as a threat. It completely ignored the other three’s attacks and turned to pounce on him.

With the Earth Breath Beast’s frenzied attacks, the small hill they stood on was flattened without them even noticing.

But Feng Hao was very experienced in dealing with this kind of clumsy monster. With the help of [Shadow Strike] and his [Poisonous Chain], he moved just like Spider-Man, zipping around the Earth Breath Beast.

Every now and then, he would toss out a [Dark Moon Massacre] and a [Moon Wheel Dance], easily chipping away at the Earth Breath Beast’s life force.

As soon as [Moon Thorn] and [Shadow Sparks] were off cooldown, he would rush in and unleash another full combo.

After a few such exchanges, the Earth Breath Beast’s life force had already dropped below eight hundred.

Seeing Feng Hao having so much fun, Xi Yueyao couldn’t sit still any longer. In a single bound, she once again leaped onto the Earth Breath Beast’s back and sprinted for its head. "Wahahaha, I’m back~!"

"Kid, be careful!" Feng Hao called out with a sense of resignation.

"Don’t worry! I’ve got my ice sculpture to protect me. It can’t hurt me," Xi Yueyao said, brimming with confidence.
