Chapter 122: Final BOSS!
Picking up the ring, Li Xiang glanced at its attributes and was stunned.
【Water Serpent's Ring】
Quality: Black Iron
Part: Ring
HP +547
Constitution +29
Strength +50
Trait: Breath-holding time +120s
Durability: 100
Required Level: 40
Restriction: Warrior
【Commentary: Formed by the energy of the Water Serpent, it allows the wearer to breathe underwater.】
The attributes were ordinary, but the trait was amazing!!!
Breath-holding time +120 seconds, which is 2 minutes, directly adding two minutes of breath-holding time. Li Xiang already had the double breath-holding time effect from eating Water Avoidance Pills.
Therefore, this trait, when applied to Li Xiang, means four minutes!!!
"Gotta speed up, 8 minutes have passed..."
Putting away the ring, Li Xiang sped up and ran directly towards the other end of the island.
Along the way, any Monster that attacked Li Xiang was lucky to survive. Those who weren't lucky were directly taken down by the combination of Counterattack and Counter Blood.
...
Outside, all the players looked at the progress leaderboard for the "Water Serpent's Calamity" instance and were stunned.
They saw that the progress, which was originally at 37%, suddenly began to skyrocket.
38%...39%...40%...
45%...46%...48%...
55%...60%...65%...
From 38% to 65%, it took less than 1 minute.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Demon Hand was fighting the second BOSS in his instance. A few seconds later, the BOSS fell.
Demon Hand grinned, "10 minutes, the second BOSS is down... faster than I expected."
"Qu Ge Mingzi Hao Nan... You are destined to be stepped on by me!!!"
...
In the Water Serpent's Calamity instance.
Li Xiang looked at the Water Serpent in front of him, which was over three meters tall, and then at his skill bar.
Because he was moving too fast, the Wind and Thunder Descend skill hadn't finished cooling down yet.
His gaze returned to the BOSS in front of him.
【LV45. Flying Arrow Water Demon King】
Quality: Silver BOSS
HP: 2393860
Physical Attack: 15390～15473
Physical Defense: 12250
Magic Defense: 11005
Skills: Ultra-long Range Shot, Heavy Gravity Arrow, Water Cannon Heavy Arrow, Hundred Arrows Flying, Summon Flying Arrow Water Demon
【Commentary: The king among Flying Arrow Water Demons, possessing extremely strong single-target killing ability. It excels at direct attacks. Once targeted by it, You are destined to have no chance to dodge or escape!!!】
Undoubtedly, this BOSS's attributes were very strong.
Nearly two hundred forty thousand HP, physical attack of fifteen thousand, both defenses were over ten thousand.
Without a ultimate skill, fighting it would be quite difficult.
"Quick battle, quick decision!!!"
Charge!!!
Close the distance!!!
Seeing Li Xiang approach, the BOSS immediately drew its bow.
Boom!!!
A thick arrow instantly tore through space and hit Li Xiang in an instant.
Li Xiang, who had just charged out over ten meters, was instantly knocked back over ten meters.
-13084
Over ten thousand damage popped up from Li Xiang's body.
Li Xiang climbed up from the ground and charged towards the BOSS again.
The BOSS's arrow appeared again, extremely fast, carrying a terrifying sonic boom, and instantly hit Li Xiang.
Li Xiang's body was knocked back again.
-14184
"Damn it... it won't even let me get close..."
All of the BOSS's attacks had a knockback effect...
Calculating the distance between them, which was about forty meters, Li Xiang's mouth twitched.
If it were a regular player, they would be kited to death upon arrival, with no chance to resist.
But he was not a regular player.
Space Shuttle!!!
At the extreme distance of fifty meters, Li Xiang's body appeared directly beside the BOSS.
The single-target ultimate Wind and Thunder Descend was still on cooldown, but the area-of-effect ultimate Thunderstorm Descends could be used.
Thunderclouds gathered aggressively above the island. The next second, boundless lightning instantly struck down.
Crack!!!
Rumble!!!
-2760700
The BOSS's health bar was instantly emptied.
"Ding! You have killed the Silver BOSS 'Flying Arrow Water Demon King' across levels, gaining Experience x10421833 and BOSS Points x4."
"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up. Current level: 38."
"Ding! Level up reward, Free Attribute Points +5."
...
Outside the instance.
"Holy crap!!! Qu Ming is too fierce, killing the BOSS in ten seconds!!!"
"Demon Hand just barely killed the BOSS!!!"
"Now both sides' progress is tied!!!"
"Qu Ming only entered the instance when Demon Hand was already at 32%!!!"
"Qu Ming, awesome!!!"
"Don't celebrate too early, it's not the end yet. The forums are saying that Demon Hand has a treasure that can instantly kill the final BOSS of the instance!!!"
"Holy crap!!! Is that true?!"
"It should be true, it's going crazy on the forums right now!!!"
"Hiss... Qu Ming is in danger..."
"Qu Ming will definitely make a comeback!!!"
"Watch your wording, it's not a comeback, it's a crushing victory!!!"
"..."
Inside the instance, Li Xiang picked up the BOSS's drops and checked them. There was nothing particularly noteworthy.
Narration appeared.
【Brave adventurer, You have proven your strength, but... the road ahead is even longer and more arduous.
The battles that follow will be entirely in the water...
The dangers in the water far exceed those on land...】
The narration ended, and Li Xiang looked at the sea area ahead.
After passing through the island, it was time to enter the water.
Underwater combat was a nightmare for ordinary players.
But for Li Xiang, who had directly swum through the first obstacle, it was merely child's play.
As soon as he entered the water, Li Xiang noticed something different. The water in this area was much heavier than the water before the island.
Swimming was very strenuous.
Within a few seconds, underwater currents surged, and attacks landed directly on Li Xiang.
-24215
Over twenty thousand damage popped up from Li Xiang's body, instantly shaving off a tiny bit of his million-plus HP.
Li Xiang immediately looked around but found no clues.
Diving into the water, he didn't see any suspicious targets, but he did see a few ordinary Monsters.
To be precise, they were Elite versions of the Monsters encountered earlier!
For example, the Elite version of the Steel Shield Water Demon had a whopping 125,000 HP!
Charge entered the fray.
The Group Fire skill was activated.
Dense damage numbers appeared.
-44944
-45101
-44999
...
However, after a short while, another twenty thousand-plus damage value appeared on Li Xiang's body.
Li Xiang checked the combat log. It was clearly caused by a BOSS named 'Deep Sea Water Serpent'...
It was very likely the final BOSS!!!
