CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: BATTLING THE AREA BOSS

The survivors of the entire Channel 107 began to accelerate their assault on the leaderboards.

At this moment.

On a Sky Island Territory with a vast area exceeding forty squares.

Han Xing was engaged in combat with a colossal creature.

In front of them, a towering giant brown bear, easily three to four meters tall, roared in anger.

An information window for the brown bear appeared before them.

[Iron-Backed Brown Bear (One-Star Elite Creature)]

[Level: lv5]

[Power 31, Agility 20, Spirit 21, Constitution 35]

[Skill 1: Bear Paw Strike (The brown bear swings its enormous bear paw at the ground, generating a powerful shockwave to knock back surrounding enemies and deal significant damage), Skill 2: Ironback Impact (Iron-Backed Brown Bear charges at the target, sprinting speed increased by 100%, and upon hitting, guarantees a critical strike and knockback effect), Skill 3: Furious Roar (The brown bear lets out a deafening roar, dealing sonic damage to surrounding enemies and increasing its critical strike rate by 50%)]

A formidable panel!

Just its basic attributes alone could crush Han Xing, who was donned in full Green Armor, even though ’Coal Ball’ had leveled up to Level 3, it was still suppressed in attributes.

"Such a strong creature, could this bear be the regional boss?" Han Xing pondered.

However, Coal Ball’s agility attribute had already reached 21 points, and with the skill boost from ’Void Flashes’ granting 200% movement speed.

Even this Level 5 Elite Monster couldn’t keep up with Coal Ball’s pace at all.

Han Xing only saw a black shadow constantly flickering around the Iron-Backed Brown Bear, leaving occasional wounds on its body.

"Roar!"

The brown bear let out an angry roar, continuously flailing its broad bear paws, wildly swiping at the sky, but try as it might, it couldn’t touch even a hair on Coal Ball.

Just then, Han Xing’s Wind Chasing Arrow shot forth.

The Fine Iron Arrow carrying a tearing-through-the-air sound appeared instantly in front of the brown bear.

The target was none other than its eye as big as a bronze bell.

However, this Level 5 Elite Monster reacted swiftly.

Upon seeing the arrow approaching, the Iron-Backed Brown Bear quickly turned, meeting the arrow with its steel-needle-haired back.

Bang!

The arrow hit, but the expected scene of piercing through flesh did not appear.

The Fine Iron Arrow made a dull sound upon contact with the bear’s back.

It was as if the arrow hit a concrete wall rather than the bear’s body.

"What terrifying defense!"

Han Xing was amazed; he also noticed the impressive 35 points of Constitution the Elite Brown Bear had, which granted it formidable flesh defense.

The arrow failed to deal any damage and instead completely enraged the gigantic creature.

It suddenly stood upright, pounding its chest repeatedly with its bear paws.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a series of dull thuds, the brown bear opened its mouth and howled skyward.

"Roar!!!"

A terrifying shockwave began to spread.

"No, it’s the Elite Monster’s skill, Furious Roar!"

Han Xing’s face changed instantly, "Coal Ball, retreat quickly!"

Furious Roar is an area skill; although Coal Ball is strong, its Constitution is weak compared to the brown bear.

Enduring this sonic attack up close would mean heavy injury if not death!

However, Coal Ball also wasn’t foolish; upon detecting the brown bear’s sonic attack, it had already retreated backward.

A flash of the black shadow, and Coal Ball appeared at the edge of the territory.

The Greyback Brown Bear’s attack didn’t cause much harm.

Han Xing sighed in relief, but he hadn’t noticed the brown bear had by then shifted its hatred target onto him.

In the next moment, the brown bear got on all fours, drool hanging from its mouth, and glared at Han Xing furiously.

A sinking feeling of dread rose in Han Xing’s heart.

As he realized, the Greyback Brown Bear charged toward him like a cannonball!

This was its second skill, Ironback Impact!

Danger!

At the critical moment, Han Xing used the Hunter’s basic skill, Roll!

Crouching slightly, Han Xing rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the Iron-Backed Brown Bear’s charge, feeling fear linger in his chest.

Ironback Impact hitting an enemy guarantees critical and knockback effects.

Given his frail build, even if he survived a hit, he’d be flung high, falling off the Sky Island Territory.

At this point, Coal Ball flashed near the brown bear.

Coal Ball’s eyes showed killing intent, seemingly furious at the brown bear’s attempt to attack Han Xing.

"Awoo!"

Coal Ball let out a growl that was both cute and fierce.

Han Xing watched its form become illusory.

The next moment, countless spikes sprouted from Coal Ball’s shadow.

Void Ghost Wolf’s second skill, Counterattack Spike, activated!

The next moment, ten spikes fired simultaneously.

Each Counterattack Spike bore the Power of the Void, carrying unmatched lethal power.

Even with the Iron-Backed Brown Bear’s terrifying defense, it was easily pierced; its massive body was practically a target at this moment.

Thud, thud, thud!

With a few fleshy sounds, the Iron-Backed Brown Bear took on Coal Ball’s burst skill at close range, at least seven spikes hitting its body.

The Iron-Backed Brown Bear didn’t expect this little creature to inflict such grave damage, its frustration palpable.

Yet, the Counterattack Spike carried the Power of the Void, continuously corroding its wounds, drastically reducing its state.

Void Ghost Wolf’s third skill, [Power of the Void] The damaged enemy not only experiences inhibited healing but also reduced defense!

Han Xing’s eyes lit up, seizing the opportunity!

Without a thought, he used his strongest burst skill.

Multi-Shot!

In the next moment, five Fine Quality Fine Iron Arrows, shot out with swift speed, hitting the brown bear.

Moreover.

Among the five arrows, two triggered the Armor Piercing effect, boosting damage tremendously!

This time, Han Xing’s arrows faced no obstacle, puncturing the brown bear’s thick skin, embedding in its flesh easily.

Han Xing squinted, watching this gigantic creature expectantly.

Yet, he found it still full of energy, showing no hint of weakening.

"Is it immune? Indeed, the snake venom on a Level 1 creature has no effect on this Level 5 monster."

Han Xing felt some regret.

He shook his head, refocusing on the battle at hand.

At this point, Coal Ball again diverted the Iron-Backed Brown Bear’s attention.

Han Xing reassumed his role as a long-range attacker.

Having a formidable pet upfront made a Hunter’s combat easeful.

Once the Iron-Backed Brown Bear’s defense was reduced, and Han Xing’s arrows could damage it, the battle had little suspense remaining.

Three minutes later.

The Iron-Backed Brown Bear bristled with three to four dozen arrows like a porcupine.

It was utterly exhausted.
