Chapter 66: Success Need Not Be Mine!

"Well done!"

As the ugly and massive figure of the Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch was forcefully smashed out of the ground, Chairman Sun on the city wall shouted out of character for the first time.

Zhang Chiming beside him was even more shocked with his mouth wide open.

"Th… How did they do this?"

He muttered to himself, his face filled with complete incomprehension.

"They actually… really dragged that BOSS hidden underground out!"

Chairman Sun took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, his eyes flashing with a shrewd light.

"It is that swordsman."

"The companion of that white-robed mage."

"He is the one who found the specific location of the BOSS!"

A look of wild joy finally bloomed on Zhang Chiming's face, and he slammed his hand hard against the city wall's embrasure.

"Good! Very good!"

"I do not even know where these two heroes popped out from!"

"When this beast tide ends, I will definitely personally submit a report for their merits!"

Chairman Sun's eyes returned to their usual calmness, but his profound gaze remained locked onto those two figures in the battlefield below, as if pondering something.

At this moment, in the battlefield below, the Battle Intent had already boiled to its peak.

The Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch, blasted out of the ground, was like a turtle whose shell had been flipped open, losing the earth as its most solid barrier.

It appeared extremely fragile.

"Kill it!"

"Right now!"

Dozens of Professionals roared, transforming the full chests of accumulated anger and hatred into the most violent attacks, pouring them out.

"Flame Storm!"

A mage raised a staff high, and a scorching tornado rose from the ground, fiercely tearing at the BOSS's body.

"Holy Light Judgment!"

A paladin was bathed in golden light all over, and a huge light sword descended from the sky, slashing onto the BOSS and emitting bursts of black smoke.

The Berserker's giant axe, the assassin's dagger, the archer's rain of arrows…

Countless skills, like a tide, bombarded the body of the Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch wave after wave.

Its already scanty health bar rapidly hit rock bottom at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The final blow is mine!"

A blood-soaked Berserker roared, leaping high, the giant axe in his hand burning with a blood-colored light flame, about to unleash his ultimate move.

But right at this moment!

"Roar——!"

The near-death Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch suddenly let out a sharp screech.

"Swoosh!"

A thick vine suddenly burst out from beneath it, with unimaginable speed, tightly binding a figure and lifting them high!

All the Professionals who were preparing to release skills suddenly froze in their movements, stopping one after another, their brows tightly locked.

That figure lifted high by the vines was none other than—

Yasuo, who had just sneaked underground and forced out the BOSS's location!

No matter how agile Yasuo's movement technique was, being deeply trapped underground gave him no room to dodge at all.

After completing a round of burst attacks, he was tightly entangled by the BOSS with countless tiny roots, unable to move.

At this moment, he actually became the BOSS's bargaining chip to threaten everyone.

The Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch held Yasuo high in front of its body, its three huge pupils staring fixedly at the crowd below, as if proclaiming with its actions:

Whoever dared to attack again would make this human be buried together with it!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Huai sneered in his heart.

The intelligence of this BOSS truly far surpassed ordinary exotic beasts.

It even knew how to take hostages.

However…

Using my Clone to threaten me?

Did it really think I would be afraid?

Once dead, twenty-four hours later I am still a fine hero.

He immediately manipulated Gandalf, shouting at the surrounding Professionals.

"Everyone! Do not stop!"

"Kill this BOSS first!"

However, the Professionals besieging the BOSS hesitated.

Looking at that swordsman who was lifted high by the vines, drenched in blood yet still having cold eyes, their faces revealed unbearable hesitation and struggle.

Although they did not know what this brother's name was.

Yet it was precisely because he disregarded his own danger that he lured out this cunning BOSS, giving them the hope of killing the BOSS.

Now, must they sacrifice him just to kill the BOSS?

This made many people present unable to bear it in their hearts.

Seeing the hesitant appearance of the people around, Zhou Huai became a bit anxious.

He could clearly feel that the terrifying wounds on the Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch were beginning to heal at a slow speed.

It was buying time!

Once it recovered some strength, it would definitely burrow back underground without hesitation!

By then, wanting to find it again would be as hard as ascending to heaven!

"If you do not make a move, I will!"

Zhou Huai hardened his heart, manipulating Gandalf to raise his staff without hesitation, and a freezing chill began to condense.

"[Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal]!"

However, halfway through his incantation, a rough, large hand suddenly pressed down on his staff, forcibly interrupting his casting.

"Brother! Do not be impulsive!"

A burly middle-aged man rushed in front of him, persuading him with an anxious expression.

"Give us some time!"

"We… let's think of another way! We can definitely save that brother!"

"Right! We cannot give up any comrade-in-arms!"

"He is a hero! How can we watch him die with our own eyes!"

The others also echoed one after another.

Zhou Huai was so angry he wanted to curse.

These people simply had holes in their brains!

By the time you all think of a way to save Yasuo, this BOSS would have long since run away without a trace!

In fact, this had nothing to do with right or wrong.

It was just that Zhou Huai and these Professionals viewed problems from completely different angles.

In the eyes of these battle-hardened Professionals.

Whether it was Gandalf or the captured swordsman Yasuo.

The strength they displayed both possessed extraordinary potential.

Given time, they could definitely grow into the backbone of the Great Xia Country, top experts sufficient to change the future battlefield situation.

Compared to this BOSS, Yasuo's value was clearly higher.

This was the real reason they hesitated.

Just at this moment, Zhou Huai's eyes suddenly moved.

He instantly switched his consciousness.

"…"

Yasuo, lifted high by the vines, slowly raised his head.

Looking at those figures below who were hesitating and even arguing because of him, a flash of complex emotion crossed his eyes.

The next second, he used all his strength and let out a heaven-shaking roar.

"Brothers! Make a move quickly!"

His voice was passionate and stirring, echoing across the chaotic battlefield.

"What are you still hesitating for?!"

"Could it be that you want to let this beast run away?!"

"Think of those comrades who died under its vines! Think of those destroyed Magical Cannons!"

"Could their sacrifices be in vain?!"

He took a deep breath, his voice carrying a resolute smile.

"I am not afraid of death!"

"Being able to fight side by side with everyone, I have no regrets even in death!"

"Success need not be mine!"

"All of you fucking… make a move!"

"Roar——!"

The Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch seemed to understand the resoluteness in these words, feeling the murderous intent reignited from the crowd below.

It was enraged!

It let out a frantic screech, and the vines binding Yasuo suddenly tightened, then… fiercely tore to both sides!

"Squish——!"

A teeth-aching sound of flesh being torn apart rang out.

Yasuo's body was actually forcefully torn into two halves!

Fresh blood, like raindrops, fell from the air.

This scene deeply stung the eyes of everyone present.

"No——!"

"Brother!"

The eyes of all the besieging Professionals instantly turned red.

Endless grief and indignation turned into the purest power at this moment.

"Ahhh! Beast! I'll kill you!"

That Berserker who made the first move let out a heart-rending roar, the blood-colored giant axe in his hand carrying an indomitable Aura, fiercely hacking down onto the pupil of the Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch!

"Avenge the hero!"

"Die!"

Countless immensely powerful skills erupted simultaneously at this moment.

All the lights converged into a destructive torrent, completely submerging the massive body of the Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch.

It didn't even have time to let out a wail before that last trace of HP was completely cleared to zero!

Following the death of the Earth Vein Saprophytic Monarch, atop the towering city wall, those wildly spreading dark green vines seemed to instantly lose all vitality, rapidly withering, turning into flying ash, and peeling off from the wall structure.

Zhang Chiming, with bloodshot eyes, watched this scene and suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointing towards the endless beast tide below.

"City Guard, listen up!"

"Immediately replace the core magic crystal of the Magical Cannon!"

His voice became hoarse due to extreme anger, yet carried an unquestionable resoluteness.

"I will tear those motherfucking exotic beasts… all into pieces!"
