Chapter 643 - 469: Top Ten Face the Boss_2
"The biggest difference between them and elemental entities is that they possess a complete physical form."
"These bat-fire creatures are one of the more common magical beasts in the City of Eternal Fire, characterized by their large numbers and unity, making them fast-moving and hard to target."
"Their downside is that their bodies are quite fragile, far inferior to fire ghouls."
"Fire ghouls and bat-fire like to attack together, earning them the nickname ’Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts’."
"It’s rather rare to see only bat-fire present."
Before entering the instance, Ti Jiu had also done his homework.
[Zee Zee Gaa Gaa!] xN
Just as he finished speaking, they suddenly heard several beast calls from the fiery ruins behind them.
Turning around to take a closer look, they saw seven or eight bat-fires perched on the ruins, flapping their wings, ready to launch an attack on them.
"Not good! Another monster ambush!"
Ti Jiu immediately shouted out to alert his teammates.
But in the middle of his call, he watched helplessly as those bat-fires suddenly elongated inexplicably.
As if grasped by two invisible giant hands, pulled fiercely at their heads and feet...
Sssla! xN
They were all torn apart into halves, falling to the ground before they could take flight.
"Are these beasts attacking from both sides again?!"
"Is it fire ghouls or bat-fires?!"
"Long Ren, quickly deploy the [Barrier]!"
"So boring, always playing sneak attacks."
The team heard the call and prepared to fight, only to find no trace of fire ghouls or bat-fires behind them in the main path or above.
"Uh, um..."
Feeling the eyes on him, Ti Jiu stammered, "The beasts are gone!"
"Ti Jiu! What are you doing?!"
"False alarm, are you messing with us?!"
"Didn’t expect you to learn to lie."
"Is it funny to joke like this?"
"Next time, let the beasts eat you first. Had me worrying for nothing."
After each one scolded him, they turned their attention back to the front.
Wronged, Ti Jiu couldn’t even explain, only able to muster a bitter smile.
There really were beasts just now, but they were killed instantly. How could you blame me?
"Hey, did you just use the third stage of [Gravity Field]?"
But when Ti Jiu looked at Li Pu again, he suddenly showed an excited expression.
"Uh-huh."
Li Pu nodded.
"Hiss!"
Ti Jiu, receiving a confirmation, held his breath.
It had taken him a long time just to comprehend the first stage, still unable to fully master it.
The third stage seemed completely nebulous, only understood through textual descriptions.
Unexpectedly, Li Pu wielded it effortlessly, using it to instantaneously wipe out the beasts!
Compared to those unfamiliar with [Gravity Field], Ti Jiu realized how formidable the third stage of this skill was.
It meant that his elder brother now possessed a means to kill invisibly.
The pity was that he knew the landing point of the [Gravity Field] required line-of-sight aid; otherwise, directly crushing through the beasts’ flesh to their life centers would be more effective than any attack method.
"Not good! Come quick to help!"
At this time, Li Yilou’s cry for help suddenly came from the front.
Following the sound, Li Pu saw that the bat-fires in the sky had been completely annihilated by everyone working together.
And a new beast was slowly approaching from the main path’s distance.
Yes, just a single one.
Yet its appearance immediately revealed it wasn’t an ordinary creature.
Its species was somewhat similar to an ogre.
Crimson skin, a massive body, especially that round belly.
Unlike humans or regular animals, its limbs had two joints—meaning two elbows or two knees—giving its movements a distinctly twisted and bizarre look.
The entire body was cloaked in flames, a trait of all the beasts here.
This ogre had a fire-scorched, red iron basket on its back, filled with bricks and stones. In its bizarrely curved hands, it held a shovel too small for its size.
"This is a Road Builder! A unique monster in the City of Eternal Fire!"
"It’s a boss-level entity, and we actually encountered it!"
"How unlucky, how trivial."
"Fifth transformation, LV80, Grade A!"
"Is it really time for a strategic retreat?"
With everyone talking, Li Pu quickly gathered information about this monster.
"Looks like we caused too much damage to the ground; that’s why it’s here now."
"Road Builder, unique to the City of Eternal Fire."
"Its mission here is said to be repairing the main roads in the City of Eternal Fire."
"Since senior students don’t enter lower-grade instances, no one has defeated this guy yet."
"Every team encountering it ends up defeated, inevitably fleeing in panic."
"Even the top ten teams from previous grades couldn’t manage."
Ti Jiu elaborated with more reliable information.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Li Pu raised his eyebrows.
A unique beast in the City of Eternal Fire, never before defeated.
Does this mean it’s capable of offering a rare, exclusive card?
[You destructive troublemakers!]
The ogre, with poor eyesight it seemed, only noticed them when it was about 50 meters away.
Then, shouting angrily, it picked up speed towards them with odd, shuffling steps.
"Charge! Everyone, together!"
"Otherwise, we have no chance!"
Li Yilou yelled, commanding the Hundred Horned Rhino to launch a charge first.
[Rhi Rhi Rhi!]
Following his signal, the rhino’s horn transformed into a gigantic charging Knight’s Spear, head lowered, charging directly at the ogre.
"Is that the Knight’s Spear form?!"
"With such a long charge distance, even the notorious Road Builder couldn’t come off lightly."
"Indeed, as long as we seize the initiative, we might actually have a chance, right?"
The top ten students, all with sharp perceptions, marveled at the Hundred Horned Rhino’s move, which undoubtedly showcased high-level skill.
Meanwhile, they each commanded their main combat summons to follow closely, planning a concentrated attack.
Bzzz!
Then, as the Hundred Horned Rhino charged midway, white light began to gather at the spear tip.
It was clear this was more than just a simple physical attack, also involving energy for dual composite damage.
The gathering white light seemed to make it move faster.
Swish!
Seconds later, everyone watched as the large rhino spear pierced the ogre’s belly.
However, at this moment, the ogre exhibited the strength of an LV80 Grade A boss.
The white dazzling spear, highly regarded by all, merely caused a dent in its tough belly, failing to pierce it!
"Th-This level of defense is too strong?!"
"Oh no, if even Li Yilou’s rhino is like this, won’t our summons be..."
"In big trouble, it’s counterattacking now!"
Amidst cries of alarm, the ogre threw its shovel into the basket, then clamped its hands together, forming a fist.
Bang!
A heavy punch came crashing down, not only sending rubble flying but forcefully bending the Hundred Horned Rhino’s tough horn—
Followed immediately by a kick, knocking the rhino to the roadside.
Bang!
The force of this kick seemed greater than it looked, triggering an explosion as the rhino collided with the fiery ruins.
The critical point was that the Hundred Horned Rhino was considered a thick-skinned, thick-fleshed type; otherwise, it wouldn’t be the tank in this team’s front line.
Yet it was now dispersing into blue light, actually being killed outright!!
"No! My Rhino!"
Though it could resurrect, Li Yilou still felt quite distressed.
[You all! Caused more damage!]
The ogre pointed at the sunken section of the main path in front of it, roaring angrily at the group.
"Did I see wrong? The Hundred Horned Rhino got one-shotted?"
"It was our primary tank, for crying out loud!"
"In that case, who can withstand its attack?"
"No wonder no seniors have ever defeated it before..."
The top ten students, at this moment, found their morale hit quite hard.
"The road was clearly damaged by your own punch."
Only Li Pu couldn’t help but retort.
