Chapter 753 – Boiling Mountains

Three hours later, we cleared out all of the Mang Battle Tigers on the second floor of the Deer Cry Cave . By the end of this, we had completed the fourth set of the Deer Cry Outfit . We had already given up hope on mass producing this set . Even if we had cleared out the entire third floor, at most we would have six or seven of those Deer Cry Outfits . But, that wasn’t bad either . We would only give those to the most top tier swordsmen of [Zhan Long] to equip . That way, they would be able to deal the greatest force .

……

“BOSS is here, it’s a tiger . ”

Qing Qian raised her dagger and charmingly stood beside a wall . She smiled to me, “It’s a wild beast type BOSS . Logically speaking, its drop rate for pet eggs and mounts should be fairly high . Everyone pray for good luck!”

I nodded, “Prepare for the fight, I’m going ahead to check out the BOSS’s stats!”

“Yes sir!”

I lead my horse forward . When I was only 40 yards away from the BOSS, his stats appeared . It was another level stronger than the BOSS from before, but it shouldn’t be too much of a problem . Everyone’s equipment and levels were growing better and stronger . Unless the BOSS was a Hybrid Demon King . Otherwise, the Ghost Harvest BOSS’s are no longer unrivaled . Besides, we had twenty people with us this time, with all types of attacks and players . There was nothing to fear .

The fierce tiger was at least three meters tall and looked more like an elephant . The fur on his back did not look soft at all, but rather spiky, like a porcupine . It growled, revealing long and sharp canines that looked to be at least 20 centimeters long . The sight of it made goosebumps rise up on my arm . A dull red flaming aura rose from its body, giving off heat . Furthermore, that fierce tiger looked straight at me, its eyes filled with killing intent——

[Hell Fire Tiger] (Ghost Harvest BOSS)

Level: 148

Defense: 14000

Skills: [Hellfire Claw] [Awe of the Land] [Burstfire Raid] [Boiling Mountains]

Introduction: Hellfire Tiger, originally a battle beast raised by one of the kings in the depths of hell . The Hellfire Tiger was born from within the boiling depths of magma . It had taken the power of the flames to stay alive . It is extremely strong . After it was tamed, it became the tooth and claw of Hell . While on a mission, it was brought to the human world . In the end, it was surrounded by three Holy Domain Heroes . It escaped with mortal injuries and ran to Deer Cry Cave where it slowly recovered . Finally, it was tamed once again by the Qin Deer and became one of the Beast Guardians

……

“The skill names are really pretty…” Meng Yao said as her eyes lit up .

Qing Qian agreed, “Yup, Awe of the land, Boiling Mountains, who knows what kind of effects those are . Should we prepare to attack now? Matcha will be our tank and Brother Xiao Yao will be back up . ”

I nodded, “Yup, sounds like a plan . When we attack and the BOSS activates a skill, let’s do all we can to interrupt it so that we can decrease our losses . Its attack power is incredibly fearsome, we cannot underestimate this tiger . On top of that, it’s clear as day that his strength is above that of the bear . ”

“Yes sir!”

Matcha raised her Lion King Shield and lead her horse forward . “Peng!” she rammed against the Hellfire Tiger . She swung her long sword and activated [Skyshaker Pierce]+[Flame Axe] . “Pu pu!” She dealt 4000+ damage . Matcha’s defense was incredibly high but with the Black Flame Set, her attack was pretty high up as well .

“Grr… . ”

The Hellfire Tiger let out a roar and swung its fierce claw, lunging right onto the shield!

“15227！”

My heart shook . That attack power is insane . Even the Lion King shield couldn't completely block it . If I were the one there, I’m afraid that the tiger would’ve taken out twenty thousand of my health in one swipe?

Thankfully, the Hellfire Tiger’s normal attack wasn’t as high . With a normal hits it only dealt around 6000 damage . With our healers around to wean Matcha, there wasn’t any fear for her life .

Behind me, I set up an [Azure Dragon Crossbow] . I urged my horse forward and then activated a [Black Tortoise Realm] onto the BOSS, and decreased its movement speed . I then set up a [Soul Army] to back up our attacks . Then, with both my Zhen Yue Blade and my Dragon Reservoir Sword, I cut into the side of the BOSS, and activated all kinds of skills and attacks against it . I had a country weapon in one hand . Even a Ghost Harvest BOSS couldn’t block the edge of my attacks!

Qing Qian let out a shout and a black fog covered her body . It was as though a demon witch from hell was charging towards the BOSS . Her dagger now had a range of three yards . “Shua shua shua!” She swiped at the BOSS’s back, dealing quite a bit of damage . In addition, her damage output was not much lower than wan Er’s . I was speechless . The attack power of the [Unrivaled Spirit] was incredibly strong . What would happen if Wan Er learned it?

“Grr!”

The Hellfire Tiger roared and swept its tail at Wan Er and Qing Qian, dealing 15,000 daamage . Thankfully it wasn’t life threatening . Following that attack, the flaming aura around the Hellfire Tiger’s body suddenly grew and flames rose from the tiger’s four paws . I was all too familiar with this attack . It was the [Burstfire Raid]! A tiger the size of a mountain was lunging right at us!

“Huh?!”

Dancing Forest and Xing Lie both didn’t get the chance to dodge and was instantly killed in the onslaught . They had both received close to 30,000 damage . I quickly opened my hand and activated, [Binding Chains]!

Peng!”

Iron chains burst through the floor and wrapped around the tierg’s legs, locking it in place . Matcha quickly charged over and attracted the BOSS to her again . Darling Duck quickly revived the two of them . This could be considered a warning that the BOSS was giving . If we underestimate it, then the price we pay would be equally as heavy .

“Surround it!” Li Mu roared/

Wang Jian and Old K lead a group of people over, surrounding the BOSS . As soon as it was trapped, the Hellfire Tiger roared again, creating a small whirlwind in the cave . It was his [Awe of the Lands] skill . Thankfully, Li Mu and Wang Jian had a lot of health . Both of them retreated with 25% of their health left, allowing Matcha and I to continue tanking the BOSS’ hits .

From then on, nobody dared to underestimate the enemy . Li Mu and Yao Yan all looked on from afar, waiting for Matcha and I to switch out when we hit critical health . This didn’t mean, however, that we didn’t have a chance . Matcha had the Lion King Shield to protect her, so killing her was a far too difficult task . I, on the other hand had 20% [Drain] . Additionally, with the Zhen Yue Blade and Dragon Reservoir’s attack, my survivability was also pretty incredibly . As long a we could hold our ground then we could survive .

……

Around fifteen minutes later, with the combined effort of Dong Cheng, Dancing Forest and Xing Lie’s ranged attacks, the Hellfire Tiger was in critical health . Despite that, its attacks were just as equally fierce . Even though none of the people in our group had hit the Holy Domain, our advantage in intelligence exceeded that of the advantage in a Holy Domain and so killing the BOSS with our team work was not hard .

“Grrrr… . ”

The Hellfire Tiger suddenly stopped its attack . It raised its head towards the sky and let out a series of roars . The earth split and flames soared into the sky . Furthermore, magma bubbled out like water and spurt furth . At the same time, an enormous rock that looked like a mountain suddenly fell from the sky . Motherf*cker, so this is what the Boiling Mountain was . Flames spewed as though under a cauldron as the rivers water boiled and the boulder the size of a mountain . So that is where the skill name [Boiling Mountain] had come from .

“Careful!”

I gripped my Zhen Yue Blade and shouted, “Retreat, the attack range is a hundred yards!”

Qing Qian and Wan Er both quickly darted backwards . Anyone who couldn’t get out could only prepare their potions and take the attack head on . Matcha and I continued to attack . Even Meng Yao’s Verdant Peach was beside us, ramming into the BOSS . This [Boiling Mountain] effect lasted a whole twelve seconds . Three of the people in our team had died while Matcha and I had both fallen to critical health .

“Matcha, retreat!”

I covered for her . I could not let [Zhan Long]’s chief knight die . I myself had activated my [Chi You Body]’s unrivaled effect to take on the BOSS . It was 25 seconds long, enough time for everyone to regain full health .

The magic of the unrivaled body is that you could sustain attacks without taking damage to your health . It wasn’t like other unrivaled skills that don’t take attacks . This way, it was much easier to attract firepower and aggro .

Not long after Matcha, Meng Yao and Li Mu returned to full health and once again joined in the battle . The people who had died were all revived . In less than two minutes, the Hellfire Tiger cried out and collapsed in a pool of blood . It had finally died . Additionally, it dropped a pile of equipment . Among them, I saw another faint green skillbook . I felt my heart jump . Our luck wasn’t bad, looks like we got another skill!

……

“We finally killed it!” Li Mu took a deep breath and said, “Guildmaster, quick, go and check out what we got . ”

“Got it . ”

I leapt off my horse and walked forward and picked up the drops . Afterwards, I took out the green skillbook first . I waved my hand over the skillbook to see the stats . It was the second [Unrivaled Spirit] book . This time, the three assassins ROLLed for it again and Wolf ended up as the victor . Wan Er’s beautiful eyes were practically red . “Wu wu” she cried . She had fought a week's worth of BOSSes trying to get the skill but it still hadn’t come . In the end, while we were in Deer Cry Cave, we got two in a row and she still couldn’t get it .

I smiled comfortingly to her and then rubbed her shoulder, “Don’t panic, you’ll get it eventually . Isn’t it just a skillbook? If it really doesn’t drop, then we’ll just buy it from another player . ”

Wan Er nodded, “Well, looks to be that way… . ”

We continued looking through the rest . The Hellfire Tiger gave us four equipments and they all looked pretty impressive . However, what was most disappointing, was that of all four pieces, there wasn’t a single one that was worth our attention . The highest tier was a Saint Tier while the lowest was a Green tier . I gripped the Green tier sword, at least it had given us the [Unrivaled Spirit] book, otherwise it would’ve all been for nothing .

……

“Everyone, stand over there!” Li Mu waved . Everyone followed his command and stood on the roulette plate at the center of the second floor . Like that, it would send us to the third floor .

“Shua!”

Magic light rose up all around us . I could hear the wind screeching from all sides . In the next moment, all twenty of us appeared on the third floor . I could hear the cries of deer in all directions . Birds sang and fragrant flowers bloomed . It looked nothing like the deadly battlefield that we had imagined . Have we finally arrived at the Qin Deer’s den?
