Chapter 499: Killing The Bosses

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Spider Prophet!” Lin Jie was astonished. He did not expect that the Spider Prophet had parasitized the Spider Overlord. The Spider Prophet’s Parasitic could allow it to randomly attach itself to any monster’s body, so of course, it would include the Spider Overlord.

Killing two Hidden Bosses at the same time, the number of loots obtained would definitely be huge. However, the precondition was that they had the ability to kill them! Controlling the Spider Overlord itself was difficult enough, and now with the Spider Prophet, it was completely beyond Lin Jie’s scope of control. Currently, that ball of sparkling Spider Energy was about to land on the top of Lin Jie’s head and explode.

“Tree of Life!”

At that moment, a pale purple Life Treant took roots and grew, instantly growing as tall as two people. The Tree of Life was an exclusive skill of recover-type Druids. The Tree of Life would heal all the players around it, it was an AOE healing skill. When the Tree of Life healed a single target, the healing amount would increase by an additional 60%.

+465!

+465!

After the Tree of Life healed Lin Jie twice, it exploded into shreds by the Spider Energy, since this type of continuous healing-type summoning creature’s health points would not exceed 100. The good thing was that the Tree of Life had provided Lin Jie more time to react. The Shield Specialist’s Intervene had also temporarily taken the damage from the Spider Overlord, while Lin Jie used Army Obliteration after Shield Cut to knock the Spider Prophet away.

Then he turned around and said to Breeze Wind, “Leader, change people! It is impossible to kill the Bosses with this team.”

Breeze Wind was stunned, then she asked, “Still all-DPS?”

“Yes!” Lin Jie nodded. Although this team was the jack of all trades, the distribution of roles was too varied. If they were from the elite team of Never Setting Sun, then they might still have a chance to win with such a team since the equipment attributes and their skillful execution needed not to be mention. Meanwhile, the strength of that group of people was mostly at a second-rate level. As long as the poison of the Spider Overlord was spilled onto them, they would basically be close to death.

It was mentioned at the beginning that Never Setting Sun had split into a few teams to explore separately so that they could finish exploring the Spider Den faster. Breeze Wind gritted her teeth and instantly started to inform those from other teams to come and change people.

“Breeze, are you really listening to that guy? A pure DPS team would not even be able to defeat normal monsters.”

“That is… It took me ages to reach Level 40, I don’t want to die once because of an outsider.”

“Breeze, what happened to you today? It doesn’t seem like your style.”

Breeze Wind stayed silent. It was rare for her to not fly into a rage. If it was the team she usually led, such situations wouldn’t even happen! However, now, this bunch of people were the second-rate members in the guild, which did not have teams, they were just temporarily gathered for Breeze Wind to command for a while. The execution ability couldn’t be compared to the fixed team she had led at all.

She was ashamed to tell Lin Jie, “I’m sorry, no one is willing to come.”

“Oh,” replied Lin Jie calmly as he knocked the Spider Prophet into the air once again. He knew that wanting a full DPS team was hard for people to accept. Even dealing with Normal Elites needed MTs to tank and Priests to heal people, so it was natural for them to suspect that it was just looking for death by facing the Hidden Boss with a pure DPS team.

However, although Lin Jie understood others’ concerns, he was still furious inside. He was not the only one present, but there were also others from Never Setting Sun. As players from the same guild, those groups of people did not even think of coming to help at all.

“Then, we will forcibly kill it!” Lin Jie emphasized the two words “forcibly kill” and said, “Shield Specialists, activate Intervene and Demoralizing Shout!”

The two Shield Specialists instantly did as they were ordered, and with a lift of their shield, they used Intervene beside Lin Jie. They did not hesitate to activate Shield Wall. Although the damage of the Spider Overlord was high, it was not enough to kill Shield Specialists that had activated Shield Wall. Immediately after, a Demoralizing Shout instantly pulled the aggro to himself! Lin Jie saw the situation and immediately attacked the Spider Overlord’s leg! He used Army Obliteration and attacked only one spot!

Similar to “normal bleeding”, when skills and attacks simultaneously hit the same spot and hit continuously, it might trigger an additional effect. The eight legs of the Spider Overlord were its strongest weapons. They were tougher than steel and extremely sharp. However, no matter how sharp they were, the spider leg was still flesh, so when it was sliced by the Dark Gold longsword, the skin was instantly cut open by a layer, revealing the disgusting green spider meat.

“Shield Cut!”

Lin Jie sliced again vigorously and at the same spot. The spider leg was actually chopped off by Lin Jie! The Spider Overlord, which had been injured gravely, wailed out in pain, and it spat out an immense number of spider threads towards Lin Jie, wanting to entangle him.

“Intervene!” shouted Lin Jie.

The other Shield Specialist was very obedient and immediately blocked in front of Lin Jie. However, he was trapped by the spiderweb, the Boss then directly threw him into its mouth and swallowed him!

A high damage value popped up -5,000! He was instakilled!

At the same time, the Spider Overlord’s health points also gradually recovered. Even the cut spider leg seemed to be growing back out.

The Spider Overlord’s Spiderweb Devour was able to use its spiderweb to trap the enemy. Once the enemy was trapped, then it would directly devour and instakill the enemy! However, the Spiderweb Devour was very easy to dodge since all instakill-type skills had certain limitations. For Spider Devour, the slow movement of spitting out the spiderweb provided a long reaction time for players.

“What is happening?” Breeze Wind realized something was amiss.

However, Lin Jie did not respond. He knocked the Spider Prophet away, then used Ice Spirit Slash to freeze it, and threw the Spider Prophet towards a Hunter for him to try his best to kite it. Afterward, Lin Jie continued to attack the Spider Overlord.

Lin Jie did the same thing again and successfully chopped off the Spider Overlord’s second leg. Immediately after, to replenish health and regenerate its leg, the Spider Overlord Boss used Spiderweb Devour again, and it was a repeat of what happened previously. The other Shield Specialist had been devoured to protect Lin Jie.

The lower abdomen of the Spider Overlord became bloated and heavy from its previous shriveled-up state, and its Defense also decreased a little. Lin Jie took advantage of it and chopped off the third spider leg.

Screech…

The Spider Overlord was infuriated, the spider thread it spat out simply covered the entire area. The spider thread was extremely tough, so unless it was Broken Blade, the spider thread could not be cut.

When Lin Jie was about to continue finding cannon fodder, he realized everyone avoided him and was far away. Lin Jie blinked and used Death Grip to grab a Fire Mage, who was dodging and directly threw him to the spiderweb. That Fire Mage was then swallowed by the Spider Overlord, satisfying it.

“F*ck… He’s trying to kill us all!”

“Yeah! And here I thought it was some special battling method, it’s simply sending us to our deaths.”

“I’ll retreat first.”

Lin Jie’s strange actions instantly incited the fear of these players—they did not care why Lin Jie did that, but if it sent them to their deaths, then they would not agree! Therefore, that group of players immediately wanted to retreat.

Lin Jie’s eyes turned cold. He pierced the compound eyes of the Spider Overlord and activated Forward Charge. He directly dashed towards the group of players that were escaping. The Spider Overlord, which had its eye pierced, instantly spat out spiderwebs crazily in rage. Lin Jie dodged to the side with an elegant turn.

Meanwhile, the other players behind Lin Jie did not react in time and were all wrapped in the spiderweb-like dumplings before being swallowed by the Boss.

Now, there were only three people left, Lin Jie, Don’t Sweep Fallen Flowers and Breeze Wind. After dodging the Boss’ attack, Lin Jie had a grim smile as he walked towards Don’t Sweep Fallen Flowers.

Don’t Sweep Fallen Flowers looked at Lin Jie in astonishment and stepped backward. “F-F*ck, what are you planning to do?”

“Kill the Bosses.” Lin Jie took a look at Don’t Sweep Fallen Flowers and Breeze Wind. He said calmly, “I still need to feed one more person, which one of you is willing?”

Don’t Sweep Fallen Flowers was completely stunned, he did not understand why this powerful expert, who he had been despising before revealing his strength, had suddenly turned hostile.

Meanwhile, Breeze Wind’s expression was that of having expected everything. She smiled faintly. “It indeed is your style.”

“Eh?” Lin Jie frowned, what did Breeze Wind mean?

“Fallen Flowers, you go and feed the Boss,” ordered Breeze Wind.

Don’t Sweep Fallen Flowers felt like crying. Indeed, he was the scapegoat, once it was time to sacrifice people, it was he who would be sacrificed. However, at that moment, the Boss’ attack also arrived. Don’t Sweep Fallen Flowers did not bother to resist and was swallowed after being trapped by the spiderweb.

At that moment, the system’s prompt message was sent.

—Battle prompt message: Spider Overlord has overeaten, its Movement Speed is decreased by 20%, its Attack Speed is decreased by 20%, 200% damage amplification. This effect lasts for 30 minutes.

That’s right, the reason why Lin Jie had fed that group of team members was to trigger the damage amplification state.

Lin Jie looked at Breeze Wind coldly because he knew that that woman had definitely realized something, but it seemed like she did not intend to obstruct him. Otherwise, with Lin Jie’s personality, Breeze Wind would be the first to die.

“Kill them,” said Lone Wolf calmly.

He opened the equipment window and equipped the items that he was known for—Death Light Helmet, Kiara Beast King Armor, Bloodsweeping Cloak, and so on… Lin Jie put them on one by one. Finally, he grasped his hand, and the Broken Blade landed within his hands. Those items spelled Codename Lone Wolf! The instant Lin Jie was changing his equipment, the Spider Overlord and Spider Prophet had already joined hands and pounced towards Lin Jie!

Kacha— Kacha—

Lin Jie’s skin was shining with a pale blue light, emitting the aura of the sea. The scales of the Sea King Scaly Armor surged out through the tip of his skin. What followed next was the burning of Lin Jie’s Blood Power and the sound of the beating of Heart of Enrage, which was as loud as the bass drum—it was deafeningly loud! Death Rage was then activated, and the Blood Power, which was burning, was converted into a blood-red illusory greatsword that enveloped the Broken Blade.

Dragon Armor Removal!

Lin Jie shouted ferociously, and Dragon Armor Removal let out the roar of a dragon, which hit the Spider Overlord’s lower abdomen. The Spider Overlord’s lower abdomen’s fur, which had powerful defensive abilities, was instantly torn apart and revealed the hideous flesh within. Immediately after, a golden greatsword descended from the sky, directly slicing through the Spider Overlord!

-562,612! (Critical Hit)

A fearsome six-digit damage value popped up from the Spider Overlord’s head. Ever since Lin Jie had entered the Blade Peak Canyon and cleared the Holy Light Temple, his attack output had increased by 30%. With the 200% damage amplification effect of the Spider Overlord, it had resulted in such a frightening damage value!

The Spider Overlord’s body spasmed and struggled a little before it fell to the ground, not making another sound.

Meanwhile, the Spider Prophet, as a Boss with only 200,000 health points, it was impossible for it to stop Lin Jie, who was in such a state! With an Army Obliteration, its health had dropped dangerously low and activated Forced Invisibility, but it was exposed by Lin Jie’s Thunder Explosion, and he used Shield Cut to instakill it!

The two corpses were silently placed in front of one’s eyes.

Breeze Wind was dumbfounded! Those two were Hidden Bosses, so why did they look so weak in front of that man? That abnormally powerful crazed man!

“A total of 8 Mutated Spider Threads, this is what we promised, so I’ll take it.” Since Lin Jie had exposed his identity, he got straight to the point.

Lin Jie had decided to enter the depths of the Spider Den to train his level and search for Bi Yueshuang. He could also gather Mutated Spider Thread on the way. If Never Setting Sun was scheming something, then Lin Jie did not mind him sending some people for Lin Jie to kill—he could even obtain loots from killing people, it was killing two birds with one stone.

As for the remaining items… The most precious items dropped by the Hidden Bosses were materials. As for the equipment, they were not up to Lin Jie’s standards, so he was not interested. Thus, he simply left it for Breeze Wind.

“You are… Codename Lone Wolf?” asked Breeze Wind in disbelief.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Lin Jie grinned, but his gleaming eyes were cold. “Why?”
