Chapter 433: It Actually Ran Away, Cowardly Boss
Lin Moyu saw the boss, a creature with a tiger’s head, covered in scales, and a tail full of barbs.
It roared at the skeletons, its fur standing on end like sharp arrows.
Standing over six meters tall and more than fifteen meters long, it was a true behemoth.
Of course, it couldn’t compare to world-class bosses like the Earth Dragon God.
Similarly, its combat power wasn’t determined by its size.
It seemed to sense the strength of the skeletons and didn’t attack directly.
It was clear that it was cautious.
If it sensed danger, it might even run away.
After level 60, bosses also gained some basic intelligence.
Many people believed that level 60 was a watershed.
But Lin Moyu thought that level 60 was a transitional stage.
At this stage, attributes surged, and bosses became stronger.
This was to better adapt to the power beyond level 70.
A breeze blew, and the detection skill returned its information.
["200" Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger (Boss-level Monster)]
[Level: 64]
[Strength: 160,000]
[Agility: 140,000]
[Mental: 40,000]
[Constitution: 160,000]
[Skills: Gale Roar, Iron Armor Impact]
[Traits: Elemental Damage Reduction 50%, Physical Damage Reduction 50%]
Lin Moyu glanced at it; its total attributes reached 500,000.
This was what a core area boss should look like.
With both elemental and physical damage reduction, plus the boss’s vitality, it was indeed strong. At least, if it clashed with the Earth Dragon God, it would be hard to say who would win.
Mu Xianxian, seeing such a powerful boss for the first time, couldn’t help but ask, "Can we beat it?" Lin Moyu looked at her slightly scared expression, "What if we can’t beat it?" Mu Xianxian didn’t hesitate at all, "If we can’t beat it, I’ll hold it off, and you run." This girl didn’t seem to value her own life.
One might think she had a resurrection skill.
Lin Moyu chuckled, "No need, get ready to use your collection skill."
With a thought, the undead army charged forward.
A fully organized undead army, with 300 Skeleton Berserkers at the front, Skeleton Archers in the middle, and Skeleton Mages at the back.
As the undead army moved, the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger also responded.
Although it was cautious, as a boss, its pride wouldn’t allow it to run without a fight.
Even if it had to run, it would fight first.
The Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger let out a deafening roar and leaped high, pouncing towards the Skeleton Berserkers.
In mid-air, elemental explosions erupted on its body.
Then, a dense barrage of arrows from the Skeleton Archers pierced its body.
The Iron Armored Tiger’s body was covered in thick, sturdy black armor, and the arrows made dense sounds as they hit.
As a boss, it had extremely strong defense.
Without being cursed, the attacks from the Skeleton Mages and Skeleton Archers, although capable of causing damage, weren’t particularly significant.
A flash of fire, and the Flame Lich appeared beside Lin Moyu.
In an instant, all members of the undead army had a Flame Aura under their feet, while the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger was engulfed in flames.
[Flame Aura: Grants a Flame Aura to all members of the undead army, dealing fire damage to all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius. The damage is determined by the skill level and the Lich’s attributes.]
Currently, the only target within range was the Iron Armored Tiger, so all the Flame Aura’s attacks were directed at it.
The Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger let out a high-pitched roar, clearly suffering from the flames.
When the Flame Lich appeared, Mu Xianxian’s eyes lit up, staring at it, "Wow, so cute!" Lin Moyu had expected this reaction and chuckled without answering.
He observed the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger’s reaction, not willing to let such a good experimental subject go easily.
After a while, he noticed that the black armor on the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger was indeed damaged by the flames.
"It seems effective, let’s try this."
A cold wind blew, and the temperature dropped significantly.
The Ice Lich appeared beside Lin Moyu, emitting a chilling aura.
A blue aura appeared under the skeletons’ feet.
[Ice Aura: Grants an Ice Aura to all members of the undead army, causing a freezing effect on all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius. The freezing effect is determined by the skill level and the Lich’s attributes.]
The blue Ice Aura and the red Flame Aura intertwined, creating a beautiful sight.
The Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger, already burning, was suddenly covered in a layer of ice.
Especially its limbs, where the ice was particularly thick, as if trying to freeze it completely.
It gradually fell into a frozen state.
Then it let out a roar, its body glowing, and activated a skill.
The ice layer on its body shattered instantly.
[Skill: Gale Roar]
A fierce wind blew away the ice layer, but the cold air still lingered.
The wind blew away the ice, but it couldn’t blow away the Skeleton Berserkers.
The Skeleton Berserkers stood firm, continuing their relentless attacks.
Although it wasn’t completely frozen, its speed was significantly reduced.
From Lin Moyu’s perspective, it was at least two to three times slower, putting it at a disadvantage under the Skeleton Berserkers’ siege.
The Ice Aura, although not an attack, had a curse-like effect that seemed irremovable.
Unless it had a status immunity ability like Lin Moyu.
When the Ice Lich appeared, Mu Xianxian let out another scream, "This one is cute too!"
Lin Moyu still ignored her.
"Good effect, let’s add another one."
Electric sparks crackled, and the Lightning Lich appeared.
A Lightning Aura appeared under the skeletons’ feet.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Countless bolts of lightning struck down from the sky.
It was as if the god of thunder was angry, and in almost an instant, the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger was struck by hundreds of lightning bolts.
The Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger let out a wail and activated another skill.
[Skill: Iron Armor Impact]
Its iron armor exploded, turning into a whirlwind of iron armor around its body.
This skill had considerable power and impact.
The powerful force pushed back the nearby Skeleton Berserkers.
Even the Skeleton Berserkers that had jumped onto its body were shaken off.
At first glance, it seemed to have grown several times larger.
The Iron Armor Whirlwind not only pushed back the Skeleton Berserkers but also acted as a sturdy shield, blocking elemental explosions and arrows from the Skeleton Archers.
Even the Flame Lich and Lightning Lich’s aura attacks were blocked outside.
"This skill is quite good, I wonder how strong its attack is," Lin Moyu commented lightly.
The Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger, now extremely fierce, roared continuously.
Just as Lin Moyu was waiting for its next move, it suddenly turned and ran.
Mu Xianxian was astonished, "It... ran away!"
Lin Moyu was speechless, "What a coward."
His expectations were dashed; the creature had used its skill just to escape.
After all, it was a level 64 boss, how could it be so cowardly?
But it also proved that it had some basic intelligence, at least a survival instinct.
Mu Xianxian watched the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger run away and asked, "Should we chase it?"
"It can’t escape," Lin Moyu said softly, and a gust of wind arose.
The Storm Lich, covered in wind elements, appeared.
In an instant, the speed of the undead army increased dramatically, at least tripling.
Their speed exceeded 1,000 meters per second, even faster than the Lightning Undead Wings.
In just a few seconds, they caught up with the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger and surrounded it again.
The Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger maintained its skill, charging around, trying to break through the skeletons’ encirclement.
The iron armor whirled, pushing back the Skeleton Berserkers, creating a gap.
Just as it saw hope, its body suddenly froze, unable to move, covered in fine bones.
[Skill: Skeletal Prison]
The Skeletal Prison triggered a paralysis effect, immobilizing the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger like a binding spell.
Its skill was also interrupted.
In its slightly terrified eyes, the Skeleton Berserkers raised their axes and charged.
A red mist spread, and a curse descended.
Lin Moyu said softly to Mu Xianxian, "Go set off the fireworks."
