Chapter 1573: Chapter 1574: One-hit Kill Chapter 1573: Chapter 1574: One-hit Kill Entering the dungeon, Song Jian looked up at the towering mountain, fixating on the temple that radiated golden light above, where a gigantic centaur phantom loomed, while Zhang Hong took out a parchment scroll from his inventory, scrutinizing it carefully.
After a while, Zhang Hong raised his head to look, and seeing Song Jian looking his way, he couldn't help but give an awkward smile and said, “The treasure map dropped by the first BOSS varies in digging location every time we enter the dungeon.”
“Treasure map?” Song Jian raised an eyebrow and chuckled. He wasn't too concerned; such things were luck-based. Legendary-quality treasure maps could yield gold-quality items, and some maps were even traps, sealing powerful BOSSes. Once the seal was broken by digging, the BOSS would emerge, with the digger being its first victim.
“Phew, this time it's near the second BOSS, thankfully…” Zhang Hong let out a sigh of relief and said, “Last time, it was by the Promotion Temple, and we had to clear almost the entire dungeon to dig it up, which was utterly despairing.”
Zhang Hong put away the treasure map, and the two began climbing up the mountain path. Along the way, they encountered multiple level 100+ demons. Although these demons were mini-bosses in the dungeon, each possessed the strength of a level 100 Lord-level BOSS. Before, Zhang Hong would lure and kill them one by one. Now with Song Jian, they took them on directly, dispatching all the blocking mini-bosses swiftly and cleanly.
Hum~
A white light suddenly shone from beneath Song Jian's feet and then slowly faded away.
The Endless Hunt Aura had leveled up once more. The more monsters he killed, the higher the aura level climbed. Song Jian's aura had now reached level eleven, increasing his damage by 5%. Given Song Jian's base damage, a boost of 5% was equivalent to the enhancement of an epic weapon, which was quite terrifying.
Seeing the brief flash of white light under Song Jian's feet, a look of surprise appeared in Zhang Hong's eyes. He could tell that Song Jian must have mastered an Aura Skill, which was highly sought after and hard to come by. Aside from Aura Skills naturally possessed by the Holy Knight profession, it was extremely difficult for players of other professions to acquire an Aura Skill.
“Up ahead is the first guardian BOSS, a Flame Devil Bull with early Legendary Realm strength,” Zhang Hong whispered, pointing to the decrepit palace ahead. “This bull's strength attribute exceeds three hundred points, it can deal crushing damage to me, but its speed is average. As long as we're careful with its charge skills, we can kite it to death. Oh, and its Domain Power is a high-temperature field, enhancing damage from flame magic…”
Zhang Hong briefly explained the attributes of the first dungeon BOSS. In his view, with the strength of Song Jian and himself, this first BOSS wouldn't pose any threat. After all, he, a third-tier Holy Knight, could kite and kill this BOSS. Coupled with Song Jian, who likely had already broken into the Legendary Realm, dealing with this devil bull would be a walk in the park.
They stepped into the temple, and Song Jian immediately felt a wave of heat hit him. The temperature was as if he were in volcanic lava, instantly reminding him of the time he had encountered the Flame King in Scorching Gorge.
“Ice Purity Formula!”
Zhang Hong murmured softly, a cool breeze emanated from him, and Song Jian immediately felt a touch of coolness. A “Cooling” enhancement effect also appeared in his status bar.
“It can only last for five minutes; we'd better resolve the fight quickly. If it drags on for too long, I won't have enough mana,” Zhang Hong said.
If it were just for himself, his mana would barely suffice, but with an additional person, Zhang Hong's mana was now under strain.
“Five minutes is more than enough,” Song Jian laughed.
As if sensing the presence of strangers, a terrifying giant beast, over five meters tall and twelve to thirteen meters long, appeared before them.
“””
The Flame Devil Bull was shrouded in a dark red glow, its two horns on its head, like forged iron, exuded a chill light. In its lantern-sized eyes was a look full of brutality and ferocity. Excited, the devil bull raised its head and let out a loud roar before “trot trot trotting” towards Zhang Hong and Song Jian.
“Be careful, once you're within a three-meter range, the temperature will skyrocket, and even the Ice Purity Formula will be useless,” Zhang Hong said cautiously.
Although Zhang Hong had killed this devil bull twice, each time was fraught with danger, and he had to grind it down over time.
Chaos Sword Canon, Celestial Fall!
The Thousand Swords Art was still cooling down, and Song Jian, wanting to save time, launched a powerful move right from the start. The second technique of the Chaos Sword Canon, Celestial Fall, was specially designed to counter Divine creatures. Though it was meant for them, its single-target burst damage was extremely strong, more than enough for an early Legendary Realm BOSS.
Zhang Hong only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, as though they had been pricked by a needle, and he involuntarily closed them. When he realized something was off and forced his eyes open, he was startled to find the Flame Devil Bull's massive body already lying about five meters away from him.
“Dead, is it dead?” Zhang Hong rubbed his eyes instinctively, even pinching himself. He could hardly believe that a tough BOSS with over ten million Vitality Points had been killed instantly upon entering the fight.
“What a piece of junk!” Song Jian had already started collecting the items dropped by the BOSS. A Legendary Realm BOSS had only dropped some blue and green items, and the highest quality among them was merely a silver-quality ring, which made Song Jian curse out loud.
“You, you killed it in one move?” Zhang Hong asked in shock.
“It was just an early Legendary Realm BOSS, and my profession is inherently strong in attack and weak in defense. Isn't one-hit kill normal?” Song Jian laughed.
“But…” Zhang Hong looked troubled.
“Alright, let's continue. You said the location of that treasure map is near the second challenge?” Song Jian asked.
“Yes, past the first challenge, approaching the entrance to the second challenge's BOSS…” Zhang Hong said.
As they moved forward, Zhang Hong became silent, occasionally casting a fearful glance at Song Jian. Although he didn't know how strong a player became in the Legendary Realm, Song Jian's damage was evidently more terrifying than he had imagined.
“Without damage weakening between players, with his damage, who can't he kill in one move now?” Zhang Hong couldn't help but think to himself, “Once Song Jian truly advances to the Swordsman Immortal profession, who and what profession could counter him?”
Zhang Hong held the treasure map, looking at it as they walked, and soon, the two arrived in front of a huge rock. The treasure map in Zhang Hong's hands suddenly emitted a dazzling purple light.
“This is the place!” Zhang Hong said excitedly, striding forward and pressing the treasure map against the boulder.
