40: Chapter 40 Humanoid BOSS

Jiang He sprang up and rushed toward the sound.

His gaze locked onto a strange four-person squad.

The lead knight [ID: Iron Tooth] was trampling the wild flowers Mumu had just gathered with his boot sole.

"Little girl, don't be ungrateful." Iron Tooth looked down at Mumu, his tone full of arrogance, "Seeing that you're a lone little warrior, I'm showing you kindness by taking you to level up—that's me doing you a favor! Understand?"

"I don't need you to take me."

"Heh? You prefer the hard way over the easy way?" Iron Tooth sneered and reached out his large hand toward Mumu's slender arm.

This grab was like lighting the fuse of a powder keg!

The color instantly drained from Jiang He's face, and his cold killing intent almost solidified.

Whoosh, a Blood Speech Technique blasted forward.

Iron Tooth's HP hit rock bottom, scaring the other party into retreating and shouting: "Watch out, there's a BOSS."

"Brother, they're bullying me, wuu wuu…" Mumu turned and threw herself into Jiang He's arms.

At this moment, the few people saw clearly who was opposite them; it was actually a player?

But it was shocking enough.

To actually beat Iron Tooth to critical HP in one hit?

Even if they encountered a BOSS, it wouldn't be critical HP in one hit, right?

The key was, the person opposite was actually a priest?

Iron Tooth, however, didn't think that much and angrily rushed forward: "Damn it, how dare you sneak attack me?"

Whoosh, another Blood Speech Technique, and Iron Tooth was sent back to the city on the spot.

The remaining three were scared out of their wits. Is this the kind of damage a priest should have?

"B-big brother, we were just passing by, we don't know that idiot, please just let us go like we're nothing." The priest in the team began to beg.

Jiang He's gaze was like a knife, coldly sweeping across their three terrified faces:

"Go back and tell everyone, the Canyon Forbidden Zone is mine."

"If anyone dares to come here again, I will show no mercy."

"Get lost."

The three acted as if they had been granted amnesty and scrambled to escape the scene.

He had intended to use this to deter other players, but unexpectedly, things went against his wishes.

After the three people returned, they did indeed tell the other players Jiang He's exact words.

But this only aroused the curiosity of other players even more.

A level four player? Two attacks to kill Iron Tooth instantly?

And the key is that he's a priest?

This inevitably made people suspect that he must be wearing some rare equipment.

The result was that people began to gather manpower one after another, heading to the Canyon Forbidden Zone to kill the humanoid BOSS.

That day, Jiang He was exhausted, grinding monsters and cleaning up intruders.

The two had just arrived at the depths of the Canyon Forbidden Zone.

Before they had time to rest, a burst of footsteps came from behind them.

Judging by the sound.

This time, the number of people should be no less than fifty.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a dark crowd of people surrounded them.

"Kid, let's see where you can run now." Someone shouted.

Jiang He was speechless; what was wrong with these people?

Dying in batches after batches? And they still dare to come?

Just as Jiang He was sighing, several fireballs attacked him.

Jiang He pushed Mumu away: "Mumu, find a place where no one is and hide."

"Mm-hmm, good luck, Brother." Mumu ran off; she had already witnessed her brother's capabilities and was no longer worried about his safety.

Jiang He dodged the attacks with lightning speed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, he cast several Blood Speech Techniques at the same time.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: "Damn it, why does this priest's Healing Spell carry an attack effect?"

"What kind of crappy Healing Spell is this? And it has a poison effect? Damn, my HP…" The person hadn't finished speaking before his HP was completely drained by the poison.

Jiang He had long since activated Dark Injury Poison, constantly switching positions.

Using his long-range advantage to kill the mages and priests in the back row.

At this time, someone shouted: "Knights, warriors, charge forward with me! He's a priest, he fears melee combat."

Dozens of knights and warriors rushed up.

Seeing that the opponent was about to reach him, Jiang He sighed and charged forward as well.

A cold glint flashed; no one saw how he made his move.

Swish, one slash.

Swish, swish, two slashes.

The front-row players were stunned.

Is this really a priest?

Who the hell shouted that he fears melee combat?

This guy is even fiercer in melee than at range.

That day, the Novice Village chat channel was extremely lively.

Almost every second, a new kill announcement spammed the screen:

[Player... was killed by Chuan Liu Bu Xi in the Canyon Forbidden Zone]

Ever since Jiang He retrieved his equipment, he had been using the concealment mask.

Changing the appearance of his entire set of equipment, including his nickname, which he changed to [Chuan Liu Bu Xi].

In less than ten minutes, the number of opponents had been cut in half.

Just as Jiang He was preparing to press his advantage.

Mumu's cry for help came from behind: "Brother, save me, there's a monster."

He turned to look and saw a dragon-shaped monster with red scales all over its body and flapping wings chasing Mumu.

[Ancient Lava Dragon · Gluttony (Lv10 · Cub Stage)]

[HP: 100000]

[Dragon Might Domain: Can be released after reaching adulthood (Suppresses attack/defense of hostile targets within range)]

[Danger Level: Village-Annihilation (for the Novice area)]

"What the f*ck?" Jiang He was stunned.

Didn't he kill this BOSS himself?

How did it revive?

His gaze swept over the three small words "Cub Stage" after the BOSS name...

Jiang He's mouth twitched: "Damn, this thing even reproduces?"

Then the one he killed wasn't its dad… no, it was its mom.

Jiang He flashed a few steps to Mumu's side, simultaneously blasting out two Blood Speech Techniques.

-6000

-6000

The dragon cub felt the pain and stopped.

Floating in mid-air, it let out a dragon roar.

Immediately after, it gathered a ball of fire in its mouth and sprayed it at the two of them.

Jiang He pushed Mumu away, and he himself was hit by the flames.

-800

Seeing the red numbers floating above his head.

Jiang He was overjoyed.

It really was just a cub; it didn't even have one-tenth of its mother's power.

Just when Jiang He was preparing to deliver the killing blow.

A childish female voice, which only Jiang He could hear, sounded urgently in the depths of his consciousness:

"Master, this is a BOSS with intelligence; it can be taken as a battle pet."

While Jiang He was ecstatic, he pounded his chest.

"Damn, how did I forget about having Ah Li?"

At this moment, he felt like crying.

How could he have forgotten such an important thing?

One must know, Ah Li is a level 40 hidden BOSS.

She is a god in this Novice Village.

Releasing her to take Mumu to grind monsters would be a total sweep.

But right now, he didn't have time to regret it; he simply asked about the battle pet matter.

When Ah Li submitted to him initially, it was because of favorability.

But the dragon cub in front of him clearly had its hatred value maxed out.

Where the hell would favorability come from?

Ah Li's voice carried a hint of cunning and matter-of-factness:

"Beat it. For a silly cub that has just developed intelligence, how could its brain distinguish between love, hate, and enmity? It only knows pain. Beat it until it hurts, beat it until it's afraid, beat it until it understands that if it doesn't listen, it will be in agonizing pain, and beat it until it obediently lowers its head and submits."

Jiang He's mouth curled up; bullying little ones was something he could do with his eyes closed.

Whoosh, whoosh, he threw two Blood Speech Techniques.

The dragon cub felt the pain and was just about to counterattack.

Immediately after, two Healing Spells landed on it.

Jiang He was actually healing it?

"Good little dragon, stop struggling, listen to Brother… come over to Brother… wouldn't it be majestic to be a mount?" He carefully took a step forward.

Jiang He approached it cautiously.

But the dragon cub seemed to reject him; every time Jiang He took a step forward, it flew back a step, always maintaining a safe distance.

Seeing it act like this, Jiang He lost his patience and shouted directly: "Damn it, hurry up and honestly come over to be my sister's pet, otherwise, believe it or not, I'll kill you? I already killed your mother, I don't mind adding you to the list."

This string of insults completely enraged the dragon cub.

Next, the dragon and the man unfolded a rogue-style melee brawl.

At this moment, the group of players behind them was completely dumbfounded.

"Is this something a human would do? Killed someone's mother? And then make them be a pet for your sister?"

"Damn, buddy, can you focus on the main point?"

"Don't you see this kid isn't even going for the kill? He's clearly just toying with this dragon."

Everyone looked over, and it was true; Jiang He cast a Blood Speech Technique, then immediately followed up with a Healing Spell.

Isn't this just giving you a slap in the face, then immediately giving you a sweet treat?
