"Tap, tap..."
The sound of sparse footsteps echoed through the chamber.
Yi Tianchen was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. He pressed one hand against the cave wall while gripping the Venomous Fang Dagger tightly with the other, kneeling on one knee as he focused on the scene about to unfold in the hall.
Soon, three players burst into the room, and to Yi Tianchen's surprise, the leader was someone he recognized. This person was Invincible King, the most outstanding tank in the entire King's Guild. It was clear that Zeng Jian had decided to let him lead the charge this time, indicating a strong determination to take down the Cunning Ring Serpent King.
"It seems like the real battle is about to begin!" Yi Tianchen murmured softly as he watched Invincible King rush in.
"Left side, charge straight ahead!"
With a quick sweep of his eyes across the cave, Invincible King immediately commanded his two companions to charge left. At that moment, the Cunning Ring Serpent King was positioned on the right and, upon noticing these unfamiliar intruders, let out a fierce warning before pursuing the three.
Yi Tianchen shook his head speechlessly. After all, a beast was still just a beast; even if it held the title of BOSS, it could easily be toyed with by players.
Shortly after, more people rushed in from the entrance. These were thirteen players designated as front-line tanks for defeating the BOSS. Although each of them wielded nothing but novice iron spears, their training as tanks had undoubtedly increased their physical attributes significantly.
The thirteen quickly formed a line, ready to withstand the BOSS's assault. At this point, under Invincible King's leadership, the Cunning Ring Serpent King had already chased them around in circles. Although it had taken down one of its minions, they had successfully held off the BOSS.
Returning to their starting point, Invincible King swiftly moved behind the thirteen and called out, "Split into two groups and flank them!"
The battle officially commenced. With the BOSS successfully distracted, reinforcements quickly entered.
"Yi Tianchen, I advise you to hand over your weapon obediently; otherwise... I guarantee you'll regret coming into this world!" Zeng Jian shouted angrily at Yi Tianchen above.
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly and twirled the Venomous Fang Dagger in his hand before responding in a deep voice, "Oh really? A defeated foe dares to boast here?"
"You..." Zeng Jian was nearly driven to the brink of rage by Yi Tianchen's words. Remembering how he had been toyed with earlier, anger flared within him as he shouted, "You better watch your mouth! If I hadn't underestimated you before, do you think you could have beaten me?"
Yi Tianchen glanced at the group systematically attacking the Cunning Ring Serpent King and laughed, "What's wrong? Are you not convinced? Come on up! I promise I'll be right here waiting for you! But... I'm afraid you might not have the guts!"
"Do I look like I'm afraid of you?" Zeng Jian roared, ready to charge forward, but was quickly held back by Overlord Batyen standing beside him.
"Yi Tianchen, you understand the situation now. Going against a king will not end well for you. If you can hand over your weapon, we can let bygones be bygones!" Overlord Batyen stepped forward.
"Let bygones be bygones?" Yi Tianchen couldn't help but scoff, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? What, does the king's top mage want to come teach me a lesson?"
"I..." Overlord Batyen's expression darkened, and he was momentarily speechless. As the king's chief mage, he had taken the mage route into Zero Era and had no combat power before officially changing classes.
"Ahhh..."
At that moment, the Cunning Ring Serpent King, cornered by the crowd, suddenly unleashed a powerful attack. A blinding circle of golden light erupted from the Cunning Ring Serpent King, instantly striking outwards and killing four players on the spot, leaving everyone present in stunned silence.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this scene, Zeng Jian couldn't help but twitch his mouth as he pointed at Yi Tianchen and said, "You better not come down here, or I'll make you pay!" He then shouted at his subordinates, "Everyone, fight with everything you've got! Whoever dares to retreat will be dealt with first!"
After that, Overlord Batyen quickly stood up and shouted, "Brothers, don't fear sacrifice! New players won't lose levels upon death. The President has always treated us well, and now is our time to show ourselves and repay the President! If we can take down this BOSS, we will raise the King's Guild banner high in Zero Era. Whether we feast or starve depends on this battle!"
Undeniably, Overlord Batyen was incredibly good at rallying people. His simple words immediately inspired many of his followers to charge fearlessly to the front lines. However, this reckless approach came at a heavy cost.
Behold! Every move made by the Cunning Ring Serpent King seemed to bring forth waves of deadly white light. Even Yi Tianchen above felt a twinge of hesitation!
But as history has shown, effort and reward are always proportional. With each wave of their comrades charging forward, the Cunning Ring Serpent King's Health Points steadily decreased at an impressive rate.
Especially with skilled players like King's Eternal weaving through the chaos while frequently striking at the Cunning Ring Serpent King's weak points to deal significant damage. Coupled with Invincible King's effective crowd control and timely positioning, aside from the occasional outburst from the Cunning Ring Serpent King that took down a few weaker subordinates, the entire battle began to fall under their control.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this scene, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but curse under his breath. At this rate, it seemed inevitable that the king would take down the Cunning Ring Serpent King. In an instant, Yi Tianchen felt a surge of urgency; if he couldn't obtain the Cunning Ring Serpent King's Snake Gallbladder, then all his plans for Identification Technique and wealth would turn to dust.
With that thought in mind, Yi Tianchen tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand, resolutely prepared to take a desperate gamble. Of course, Zeng Jian below was no fool; since he dared to enter, he must have set up defenses against Yi Tianchen. He had likely laid out a web of traps, just waiting for Yi Tianchen to stumble into them.
Yi Tianchen was aware of this as well, but given the circumstances, he had no choice. Even if it meant stepping into the gates of hell, he had to take the risk. Moreover, there was an unpredictable variable in play—one that no one could control or foresee. This variable was the Cunning Ring Serpent King, currently besieged by everyone.
"Hiss!"
As if sensing Yi Tianchen's thoughts, the Cunning Ring Serpent King suddenly swung its long tail, sending four or five players flying. The weaker ones were instantly reduced to white light. Following that, a spray of venom shot out, hitting three players in front and leaving them writhing on the ground in agony.
As the attacks from the crowd intensified, the Cunning Ring Serpent King's counterattacks grew increasingly ferocious. With players unable to return in time, the number of people present dwindled rapidly. Before long, the Invincible King—the primary tank—was sent out after enduring two consecutive attacks without timely healing due to cooldowns on potions.
With the loss of Invincible King as a powerful shield, the entire battle situation began to shift dramatically. The first to feel the impact was King's Eternal. Previously aided by Invincible King's positioning, he had managed to land some hits; but now that Invincible King was gone, King's Eternal's attacks were severely diminished. His defense and Vitality could not compare to Invincible King's; with just a slight brush from an attack, he turned into white light.
With two major forces taken down in succession, Zeng Jian beside them was so furious that his teeth were grinding together. After this upheaval, the number of players remaining on the king's side had sharply decreased to eleven—including Zeng Jian and Overlord Batyen, who had yet to make a move. Witnessing this sudden change, Yi Tianchen felt a surge of joy and began searching for the best opportunity to strike.
Soon enough, during a gap when reinforcements for the king were delayed in arriving, the Cunning Ring Serpent King unleashed another powerful attack that instantly killed three players. Zeng Jian outside let out an angry roar and charged forward with his Rotten Sword while Overlord Batyen gritted his teeth and followed suit with his staff.
"Hiss!"
Faced with the formidable Cunning Ring Serpent King, its hissing sound at that moment was undoubtedly a haunting melody of death. With its massive body and overwhelming strength, the Cunning Ring Serpent King's attacks encompassed nearly one-third of the hall; wherever it struck, there were cries of despair.
"Die!"
Zeng Jian charged forward with a fierce shout and struck hard against the Cunning Ring Serpent King's back with his sword. Then he suddenly pivoted on his foot and took advantage of several minions' positioning to launch frequent successful strikes.
"It's time!"
Yi Tianchen gripped the dagger tightly, the fervor in his eyes quickly replaced by a glint of coldness. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a cruel smile, as he cast a glance at the agitated Cunning Ring Serpent King.
Only a sliver of blood skin remained!
"Damn it, there's no time!" Yi Tianchen's expression hardened as he let out a loud roar, pulling the dagger and leaping from the twenty-meter-high cave, propelled by a powerful force and speed towards the Cunning Ring Serpent King.
"Stop him!" Zeng Jian shouted as he saw Yi Tianchen make his move. However, at that moment, only five members of the remaining forces were left, and with this distraction, one more was taken down by the Cunning Ring Serpent King.
"Bang!"
As he descended rapidly, Yi Tianchen drove the dagger forcefully into the Cunning Ring Serpent King's neck. Yet, at that instant, Zeng Jian and the others' attacks also landed on the Cunning Ring Serpent King simultaneously.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Three beams of golden light shot out in succession, leaving everyone utterly stunned. The formidable Cunning Ring Serpent King was not killed by Yi Tianchen's stab, nor by Zeng Jian's assault, and certainly not by Overlord Batyen's strike; instead...
It was crushed to death!!!
