50: White-browed Tiger King
With the addition of Li Ruo and her four companions, the northern front was stabilized.
The eighth wave was still Level 35, but this time it was replaced by elite monsters—Monster Type—with only four appearing from each direction.
Bai Zhaoning and her three companions had one more basic potential point than others, thanks to Huang Chen. Their equipment was also top-tier, and their combat awareness, honed in the Land of Skeletons, made their fighting power terrifying.
Among them, Xia Qing was a Fire Elementals mage, and Xie Chunyan was a Wood Elementals mage; both were primary attackers.
Chen Yichun gave up Wood Elementals output and, with Bai Zhaoning, used Water Elementals' 'Wind-Swept Remnant Snow' combined with Frost Domain to slow the Monster Types to their lowest speed.
Although the Monster Types were five levels higher than them, their potential points had long exceeded their own Level 30+, and their skill proficiency was also high enough.
Especially Xie Chunyan's 'Poison Stacking',
Wood Elementals, when not having to worry about their own lives, found killing bosses incredibly satisfying.
In just a moment, the four Monster Types were defeated.
With Li Ruo and her four companions joining the northern front, the fighting was also relatively relaxed.
The main issue was Shu Xi's side. Although there were a full 800 people, their attack power was relatively low, with damage points barely reaching double digits even after breaking defense.
And even with the Lotus's blessing, a single breath attack from a Monster Type could deplete a third of their health.
If they were accidentally focused by three or more Monster Types, they would instantly perish.
In response to this situation, Lin Han promptly instructed everyone to spread out.
Thus, what they lacked in output, they made up for in numbers.
Under the various Water Elementals slowing skills, the four Monster Types were eventually worn down and killed.
One can imagine how difficult it was for other Novice Villages in Huaxia to defend against these ten waves of monster sieges without adequate levels, equipment, or Halos.
Fortunately, monsters could only enter through the city gate, and large creatures like the Monster Types could only pass one by one, which gave them a chance to kill them.
Moreover, Huaxia was full of gaming masters. Some Novice Villages even developed strategies to block low-level monsters at the city gate with tank players, then have mages kill the higher-level monsters behind them to clear the wave.
Of course, this method of clearing was very slow.
Originally, after Huang Chen killed the four Monster Types on his side, he wanted to help.
But then he thought, these people's levels soared like rockets.
They lacked too much combat experience. As the foundation for his future city, how could they be like this?
So he just stood at the city gate, observing, ready to provide support if any danger arose.
It must be said that the gameplay of letting monsters directly into the city was indeed fast.
As Huang Chen welcomed the final tenth wave's Level 40 Silver Boss, the White-Browed Tiger King, Feng Wu's Novice Village had only reached the seventh wave, the Kui Niu.
When the White-Browed Tiger King arrived at the square, everyone was startled by it.
The White-Browed Tiger King was enveloped in a terrifying aura. Its body was several times larger than an ordinary White-Browed Tiger.
It stood two meters tall at the shoulder, nearly six meters long, with amber pupils like two burning ghostly lamps, emitting a chilling glow.
"Howl..."
The White-Browed Tiger King slightly raised its head, revealing sharp, stark white fangs, a low growl rumbling in its throat.
All the monsters in the square had been cleared. At this moment, everyone rushed to the side guarded by Huang Chen, and those at Level 30 eagerly cast a 'Probe Skill'.
[White-Browed Tiger King (Metal Elementals Silver-tier Boss)]
[Level: 40]
[Health: 20 million]
[Attack Power: 20,000]
[All Resistances: 4,000]
[Movement Speed: 350 meters/second]
[Skill 1: Tiger Roar: Unleashes a materialized golden sound wave from its mouth, spreading outwards in a fan shape. Those hit will be stunned for 2 seconds and receive Metal Elementals damage equal to 120% of the Tiger King's attack power. Cooldown: 10 seconds.]
[Skill 2: Crushing Metal Claw: The Tiger King charges and strikes, knocking back the enemy, dealing 300% of its attack power in damage, and stunning for 2 seconds. Cooldown: 5 seconds.]
[Skill 3: Blood Battle: When the Tiger King's health drops below 50%, its entire body's bloodlust will be ignited, increasing all resistances, attack, and health recovery speed by three times for 120 seconds. After the skill effect ends, the Tiger King will enter a 60-second weakened state, during which all attributes are halved. Cooldown: 5 minutes.]
After someone shared the Tiger King's attributes in the regional chat, everyone gasped.
"Holy crap, how do we fight this? I'm Level 30 with 2668 potential points. I put 800 points into Internal Force, and my skill damage is only about 4000. Can that even break the Tiger King's defense?"
"Even if it can break defense, I bet it won't be faster than its health recovery..."
"The Tiger King has 20,000 attack! One skill is 60,000 attack! I have 1500 stamina and 30,000 health; I can't even withstand one hit."
"We can't confront it head-on. How about kiting it?"
"How do we kite? Its speed will instantly kill us. Whoever it targets dies. We're really doomed this time!"
...Huang Chen didn't pay attention to the chat box. In his previous life, the Tiger King indeed caused massive casualties upon its first appearance.
But after everyone figured out its habits, killing it was relatively simple.
The Tiger King would target the last person who attacked it. In Huang Chen's village in his previous life, they lured the Tiger King to the main street in front of the inn.
Then, Wood Elementals players at both ends of the street continuously stacked poison with their skills to wear it down.
The Tiger King was literally beaten to death while running back and forth between the two sides.
Otherwise, according to Star Abyss's balanced output, other attributes would only deal a few hundred damage to the Tiger King per hit, while the Tiger King's recovery speed was 1.5%, meaning 300,000 per second. Their damage wouldn't even keep up with its recovery.
However, this life wouldn't be so troublesome.
Huang Chen had 16,197 stamina. After the Lotus's blessing, his health was 485,000. This way, the Dream Butterfly Aura could restore 97,182 health per second.
With this, even if he stood there and let the Tiger King attack him, it couldn't kill him.
The Tiger King was very fast, rushing to Huang Chen's front in less than a second.
"Roar~"
Upon meeting, the Tiger King immediately opened its massive maw and roared, unleashing its 'Tiger Roar'.
Huang Chen was stunned on the spot before he could react.
A blood-red '-21215' floated above his head.
Huang Chen's vision immediately turned white, and his head buzzed.
However, he had equipment with stun-reduction effects, so he woke up after only a second and a half.
His combat experience was rich. Taking advantage of the Tiger King's skill cooldown, he first used a Three-Fold Sun Strike to push the Tiger King back two steps.
Then, he continuously clapped his hands, and after 'giving the Tiger King a green hat,' he furiously stacked Poison Sand Palm.
The Tiger King pounced from this point, raising a claw to strike down at Huang Chen's head.
Huang Chen dodged sideways, and after dodging, he delivered several more consecutive strikes.
After several failed attacks, the Tiger King's health had significantly dropped. It immediately opened its mouth wide again,
"Roar~"
But this time, Huang Chen was prepared. As the Tiger King opened its mouth, he teleported behind it, unleashing a flurry of Poison Sand Palm strikes like raindrops.
Finally, the Tiger King's health dropped below 50%, and a series of bloody mists appeared around its body.
Blood Battle was passively activated...
