Chapter 281

At the same time, another Soul Fire was cast, causing the Battlefield Snake Turtle to roar in pain.

Its snake tail lashed out again, producing an even more intense sound.

The Bone Armor shattered upon impact, but Lin Moyu was quick to replenish his defense.

The snake tail struck again and again, faster and faster, until it became a blur.

Lin Moyu was fully focused, constantly replenishing his Bone Armor while seizing opportunities to attack the Battlefield Snake Turtle with Soul Fire.

The Battlefield Snake Turtle shrieked in pain, its giant eyes fixed solely on Lin Moyu.

Hatred permeated the air; it wanted to kill Lin Moyu.

It ignored the Skeleton Warriors and the Skeleton Mages.

At this moment, it only wanted to kill Lin Moyu.

While it was attacking Lin Moyu, the Skeleton Warriors had surrounded it once again.

At the same time, more Skeleton Warriors climbed onto its body, continuously launching attacks.

Although each strike didn't deal much damage, the total amount was quite considerable.

The 1,690 Skeleton Mages on the periphery were releasing skills without a moment's pause.

If this continued, with enough time, they would inevitably grind it to death.

Lin Moyu used Soul Fire to firmly hold the aggro of the Battlefield Snake Turtle.

At this moment, he transformed into a meat shield, blocking attacks for the Undead Legion.

As long as he could hold out, eliminating the enemy was only a matter of time.

Lin Moyu braced himself and gave it his all.

He had to go all out.

This was no ordinary monster; it was a level 64 boss-tier monster.

It was an even more powerful existence than the level 58 Earth Touch Dragon God.

The difference between being above level 60 and below level 60 was truly significant.

From this, one could see just how powerful the boss guarding the very center of the Core Area must be.

For countless years, it had never been killed by anyone.

It wasn't that people didn't want to kill it; it was that they truly couldn't.

Just reaching the center of the Core Area was difficult; even the outskirts of the Core Area were not places where an average team could survive.

At the very least, all members needed to be level 60, with full equipment and skills learned, just to barely survive here.

And they had to be extremely careful; if they encountered a group of monsters or a boss like the one before them, there was a possibility of being wiped out.

Lin Moyu had been here for five days and had only encountered such things three times.

Once was an Abyssal Demon, which he had to tangle with for a long time before finally killing.

Another time, it was a 12-person human team.

At that time, those people were very curious about Lin Moyu.

Operating alone in the Core Area was unprecedented.

The other time was a 6-person Dragon race Professional team; Lin Moyu killed 3 of them, and 3 escaped.

The Battlefield Snake Turtle leaped high into the air once again and landed with a boom.

It activated its earth-shaking skill, and Lin Moyu was sent flying by the immense force.

Although he wasn't injured, he was thrown hard and looked quite disheveled.

"Too strong!"

Lin Moyu thought to himself, but his skills didn't stop, one after another.

He had tried Bone Fangs; although Bone Fangs had extremely strong penetrating power, the Battlefield Snake Turtle's defense was just too high. He could only make a few insignificant little holes, barely breaking the skin.

The damage was far inferior to Soul Fire.

He needed to replenish his Bone Armor almost every second, and his mental energy was being consumed rapidly.

Only five minutes into the fight, over half of his mental energy had been consumed.

However, the Battlefield Snake Turtle had also sustained significant injuries by this point.

Through the unremitting efforts of the Skeleton Warriors, they had finally smashed open its turtle shell.

Each slash landed on its flesh, tearing open its skin.

The Battlefield Snake Turtle roared angrily, its snake tail sweeping across its own back, sending a large number of Skeleton Warriors flying.

But the next second, even more Skeleton Warriors jumped back up.

Many ants can kill an elephant; with enough skeletons, they could chop a boss to pieces.

"It's about time."

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and the back of his hand suddenly grew hot.

The Strong Soldier skill bestowed by the Primordial Rune was activated.

In an instant, every skeleton acted as if it had taken a stimulant, slashing harder and with greater power.

Their base strength attribute soared directly from 52,000 to 166,000.

Coupled with the bonus from the Lich General.

At this moment, their strength attribute had reached as high as 200,000, surpassing the [Battlefield Snake Turtle].

With the additional 500% damage, their attack power surged to a shocking level.

Skill: Berserk Strike!

Lin Moyu thought to himself, and the Skeleton Warriors' skill erupted.

Red light filled the air, and the sound of thudding continued incessantly.

Large areas of the turtle shell shattered, and then blood splattered everywhere.

The spraying blood turned into specks of starlight and vanished in mid-air, not a drop hitting the ground.

Lin Moyu had waited until now to use the Strong Soldier skill precisely to kill the Battlefield Snake Turtle directly and end the battle.

He also joined the battlefield himself.

His spirit attribute had reached 60,000, and the power of his Soul Fire was greatly enhanced.

Combined with the 500% additional damage from the Strong Soldier skill.

The Battlefield Snake Turtle let out an unprecedented, earth-shattering shriek.

In an instant, it was heavily injured and on the verge of death.

The skills from the Primordial Rune were too strong, so strong that even Lin Moyu, the user, was somewhat shocked.

"It's done!"

He felt a surge of joy, knowing he could take it down.

Suddenly, the Battlefield Snake Turtle retracted its greenish head, tail, and four legs.

Skill: Withdraw into Shell.

Its body emitted a faint glow, forming a protective layer.

All the skeletons on its back were shaken off.

Within the faint glow, its injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seemed as if specks of starlight were descending from the sky and landing on its body.

Even the Skeleton Warriors in the Strong Soldier state could not break through the shimmering protection or harm it in the slightest.

The shimmering light connected with the heavens and earth; there were no gaps, and Lin Moyu couldn't even flip it over.

What a disgusting skill.

How was he supposed to fight this?

Lin Moyu smiled bitterly in his heart.

Who would have thought that it would end up like this?

Once it retracted in there, the level of cheating far surpassed a Knight's Ultimate Defense.

Watching its injuries recover, its aura growing stronger and stronger.

Lin Moyu moved his thought.

"Retreat!"

Chapter 261: Fortunately, I Retreated Quickly; Shields Descending from the Sky

The Battlefield Snake Turtle's defense was outrageously high, coupled with its dual Immunity traits.

He fought for a long time, even using his trump card, the Strong Soldier skill, and finally managed to grind it down to low health.

And it ended up using a withdrawal skill, erasing all his previous efforts.

Lin Moyu gritted his teeth in frustration; this was practically cheating.

It was already tough enough, with strong vitality and terrifying attack power.

And to add such a perverted recovery skill on top of that.

That makes it impossible to fight.

If it happened again… it would be a waste of manpower and resources.

Once was enough; Lin Moyu didn't want to experience it a second time.

He decisively led his team to retreat.

He couldn't deal with it for now; he would provoke it again later.

Following the route he had taken over the past few days, he retreated rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

After this battle, Lin Moyu gave up on his plan to continue deeper.

If even a level 64 normal boss was this difficult to fight, let alone higher-level bosses.

If he encountered a Lord-tier boss, or even a World-tier boss.

Whether his Undead Legion could hold up was still a question.

When it came down to it, his level was still lacking.

This battle made Lin Moyu clearly realize that he was, after all, only level 33.

Although his number of skeletons was large, his talents were strong, and the buffs were astonishing.

But in the end, he was still only level 33.

He didn't have truly powerful skills.

As Lin Moyu retreated, he summarized the situation.

This was his first retreat since he started his career.

He had encountered many powerful bosses before, and he had always been able to grind them to death in the end.

But this time, Lin Moyu really had no confidence; he felt uneasy.

He wasn't like many Legendary-tier professions that had some major ultimate skills.

That could instantly turn the tide of battle.

Perhaps Corpse Explosion counted as one, but unfortunately, it was severely restricted in the Core Area.
