Whoooosh!
Clatter! Clatter!
Dada dada dada…
A three-way chase unfolded, with Bai Qiu being the slowest of the three parties.
Fortunately, he had started running a full kilometer in advance, but even so, the distance between all sides was rapidly closing.
At that moment, the players in Zone 2233 received Zhang Shiyao’s pinned megaphone message and barrage megaphone warning in the channel!
“Everyone outside the Safe Zone, run back immediately! A boss-class monster is about to charge through!”
The two megaphones carried the exact same message.
Zhang Shiyao was extremely well-known in Zone 2233; her speaking up—and using two megaphones at once—instantly grabbed everyone’s attention.
“Holy crap! The fluffy little scammer girl just used TWO megaphones in the zone chat! That’s 110 Sanctum Coins spent just like that!”
“Running, running! Even normal mobs almost beat me to death—if I don’t run now, am I waiting to be buried?!”
Players outside the Safe Zone immediately began calling for their teammates to retreat.
“I wonder if it’s true? That little kid isn’t messing with us, right?”
Someone in the zone channel voiced doubt.
“It’s fake! She just wants to hog all the EXP outside the Safe Zone! Don’t fall for it!”
Another person raised an opposing voice.
“You above—why are you such a scumbag?! Pah! If you’ve got guts, step outside the Safe Zone before saying that crap!”
Some sharp-eyed players quickly realized the situation and lashed out at the troublemakers.
“Heh! I’ve already unlocked my Noble Phantasm and was hoping to run into something strong! I’m absolutely gonna see for myself tonight!”
A few arrogant players still refused to return to the Safe Zone.
Dada dada dada…
Bai Qiu dashed into the Safe Zone like a streak of sparks and lightning.
Less than two hundred meters behind him, a Dragonfang Monarch burst into brilliant cyan light.
In the next instant, it charged straight into the Safe Zone’s barrier, slamming hard against it!
Rumble!!!
The massive impact made the entire Safe Zone barrier tremble violently!
Sonic Boom Charge!
This skill possessed such terrifying destructive power—there probably wasn’t a single building at this stage capable of withstanding such an attack!
Bai Qiu thought to himself grimly.
After entering the Safe Zone, he immediately set Zhang Shiyao down, grabbed two potions, and gulped them down in one breath.
Instantly, a wave of weakness washed over him!
This was the side effect of the Berserk skill—five minutes of weakness, completely immune to potion recovery.
Bai Qiu took a deep breath, pulled out the Blazing Staff, and began condensing the Infernal Spear!
“Monsters… ahh! Aaaaah! Save me—!”
Those stubborn players who refused to run and stayed outside the Safe Zone were immediately noticed by the Dragonfang Monarchs after their failed barrier breach.
The massive beasts opened their jaws and pounced toward the panicked players.
Of the twelve players who didn’t believe the warning, seven managed to run back after being scared out of their wits.
Five died in the jaws of the Dragonfang Monarchs!
And the very last person who jumped into the barrier alive was brutally bitten and lost an entire leg.
Blood splattered everywhere!
“Ha… Aaaaah! Save me! My leg—my leg is gone! Someone help me!!”
The player, at first relieved to have narrowly escaped death, fell to the ground.
But upon seeing that one of his legs had been torn off and was still spraying blood—
A wave of terror and despair overwhelmed him.
He bawled hysterically on the ground, completely losing all composure and dignity.
The other survivors, though uninjured, collapsed on the ground as well, scrambling backward on hands and feet—none willing to help.
Because the Dragonfang Monarchs that had terrified them half to death were still ramming the barrier again and again, making thunderous booms.
They didn’t dare gamble.
Who knew whether the barrier could continue holding back those two monsters?!
If the barrier broke, wouldn’t the person closest to it be the first to die?
Because of that, not only those nearby, but even the rest of the players watching from behind didn’t dare step forward to help.
They all stood frozen, only observing from a distance.
Zhang Shiyao glanced at Bai Qiu, who was holding his staff and charging up power.
Gritting her teeth, she grabbed healing potions and rushed forward, shouting:
“Don’t move! I’m going to apply healing potion on you!”
The man writhing and screaming on the ground slowly quieted down.
Whimpering, he watched as Zhang Shiyao poured bottle after bottle of healing potion onto the severed stump of his thigh.
The blood that had been gushing wildly soon stopped, and the terror and despair in his heart gradually eased.
“Hurry! Drink these potions!” Zhang Shiyao said.
She handed the potions over; when he didn’t respond, she directly pulled out the stopper and shoved the potion into his mouth.
After finishing that, she took out several pieces of cloth, made quick cuts with her small knife, and fashioned a simple stretcher.
Meanwhile, Bai Qiu’s Infernal Spear finished charging!
He seized the moment when the Dragonfang Monarch had just spat a fireball at the barrier—its line of sight obscured by the explosion—and dashed forward!
Burst Mode! Mana Overflow!
Bai Qiu shot out from the flames, driving the Infernal Spear directly into the Dragonfang Monarch’s abdomen, releasing all the stored energy in an instant!
The wyvern-shaped Dragonfang Monarch had three weak points: the heart, the brain, and the abdomen.
The heart and brain were protected by tough scales and internal bone structures—nearly impossible to break.
But the abdomen had no bone, and even the scales there were thin.
The Infernal Spear only paused for a split second before piercing straight into the Dragonfang Monarch’s belly.
A foul stench of burning flesh mixed with the aroma of cooked meat filled the air.
Though the spear created only a small hole on the outside, the true devastation erupted inside its abdomen.
The creature’s entire stomach area turned bright red—like a shrimp being boiled!
Bai Qiu dismissed the staff and retreated at full speed, narrowly avoiding the Monster’s counterattack.
A moment later, the second Dragonfang Monarch slammed its massive wing down on him—an unavoidable strike.
Clang!
The metallic sound rang out as Bai Qiu crossed his arms to block it.
The impact blasted him back into the Safe Zone.
He tumbled several meters before the force finally dissipated.
“Hah!”
Bai Qiu sprang to his feet and immediately pulled out the Thunder Staff, beginning to summon Thunderbirds.
Soon, interwoven bolts of lightning formed bird after bird, each launching through the barrier and bombarding the heavily injured Dragonfang Monarch.
“Roooaarrr—!”
The wounded Dragonfang Monarch tried to flee, but it couldn’t fly and could barely move.
Under the relentless pursuit of the Thunderbirds, it finally crashed to the ground, on the verge of death.
The other Dragonfang Monarch frantically spread its wings, trying to shield its companion—but the Thunderbirds curved sharply around its defenses and continued striking the injured one without fail.
This was precisely why Thunderbird were recognized by the system—their range, power, and firing speed had all been greatly enhanced, and they even possessed the agility of real birds.
They could pull off maneuvers like suddenly soaring straight upward at a ninety-degree angle right before crashing into the Dragonfang Monarch’s wing, narrowly avoiding it, then plunging straight into the wounded enemy’s abdomen and exploding!
“Sizzle—!”
“Roar…”
After enduring the barrage of more than a dozen Thunderbirds, the heavily injured Dragonfang Monarch let out a final wail before completely dying, dissolving into white light.
A small green orb of light floated out along with the loot, all of which Bai Qiu collected together.
“He… actually killed it?!”
