Epic BOSS: My egg flew away?

Yunjianyue was unwilling to give up.

Her eyes were fixed on the two-person-tall Phoenix Egg; a hatching progress bar above it was already more than halfway complete…

"I heard someone in Kyoto has hatched a pet before."

"The first player a pet sees upon hatching will become its master…"

"If I leave…"

Yunjianyue felt a bit despondent.

She was already considered very strong in Hai City, but ultimately, she wanted to become even stronger.

How great was the allure of a powerful phoenix pet for a 'Flame Elementalist' like her?

"Stop thinking about it, let's go!"

Her younger brother, Mountain Snow, watched the progress bars of the Upper Gauges above everyone's heads, his eyelids twitching.

Originally, there was a team of sixty people guarding this place.

But after that BOSS arrived, several Upper Affixes surrounded the area, penetrating the defensive barrier to cover the entire Hideout!

More than ten people had already fled.

The remaining forty-plus people were all nervous; they were Yunjianyue's loyal subordinates, so they hadn't abandoned her and fled…

But Mountain Snow couldn't let this situation continue.

The white-haired youth pulled his sister, Yunjianyue, and led the other forty-plus people to quickly leave the core area of the Flame Fountain Hideout.

Above their heads, two Upper Affix gauges had already reached 100%, plunging them into 'Wither' and 'Corruption' states.

Wither Gauge: Upon reaching 100%, all damage is reduced by 99%!

Corruption Gauge: Upon reaching 100%, no buffs can be obtained!

These two types of Upper Affix gauges stacked relatively quickly.

The 'Chaos' and 'Stripping' affixes were still in the process of continuously stacking.

Since 'Chaos' is a long-duration loss-of-control negative affix, its stacking speed isn't very fast, similar to Nightmare or Whispers.

Especially when relying solely on the surrounding Upper Affixes, it's much slower than 'Wither' and 'Corruption'.

Within seconds of the Epic-grade phoenix BOSS flying over, 'Wither' and 'Corruption' had already maxed out, preventing them from dealing damage while also making them unable to receive any buffs.

At this moment…

Mountain Snow pulled Yunjianyue along, quickly escaping the Hideout.

The further they were from the BOSS, the slower the Upper Affix gauges stacked, but they had to be over twenty kilometers away from the BOSS to completely break free…

Based on this group's Agility and speed, they should have been able to escape.

After all, they averaged over two hundred Agility; running at full speed, they could cover forty to fifty meters per second.

Moreover, that Epic-grade BOSS was flying more than ten kilometers away, launching attacks at other players in the distance.

But what they didn't expect was…

When they began to move in large numbers, 'Chaos-born · Dual Phoenix Body · Lutil' actually noticed; she spread a pair of wings burning with black flames and flew straight toward the 'Flame Fountain' Hideout!

"Holy crap, why is it coming over here?"

"Quick, let's go!"

"It's no use, that bird is too fast. It must be going supersonic…"

Before Yunjianyue and the others could react, the Epic BOSS had already arrived and was circling above them, its two heads and four cold eyes staring intently at them.

Yunjianyue and the others were still inside the Hideout, protected by the defensive barrier.

But now they were stuck; they couldn't leave, and they couldn't stay…

If they didn't leave, the Chaos gauge would eventually max out, and they would fall into Chaos!

But if they left, they would face the BOSS's attacks!

"Split up!"

Yunjianyue had now reacted and regained her composure.

She immediately gave the order and headed north with Mountain Snow.

The others also scattered, running in different directions, trying to leave the Hideout.

However, the Epic-grade BOSS 'Lutil' let out a disdainful sneer and flapped her wings. Wisps of black flame swept out, actually surrounding the entire Hideout's defensive barrier!

If anyone tried to leave the Hideout, they would be burned to Death by the flames and immediately fall into a state of Chaos!

It was clear that the BOSS was no longer in a hurry.

Because she sensed that their egg was not in any danger.

Thus, they wanted to thoroughly torture these human players!

"We're doomed!"

Yunjianyue and the others all turned pale; they hadn't expected the BOSS's skill range to be so massive, covering the entire Hideout area. They couldn't even run away!

…

At the same time.

Many players in the vicinity, some with quick reflexes, had cleverly logged off as soon as they saw the Epic-grade BOSS appear.

Because the BOSS arrived so quickly, some players who hesitated for just a couple of seconds didn't have time to log off.

They were dragged into combat, and the Chaos gauges above their heads maxed out in just a few moments.

These players who had fallen into Chaos respawned in the Hideout one after another, their eyes red as they completely lost control and attacked the other players around them!

They killed and died incessantly.

The tradable lifespan orbs dropped on the ground were constantly being picked up and then dropped again.

Because the players were killing each other, the amount of tradable lifespan dropped would not decrease.

Therefore, when a group of players killed each other, the total amount of tradable lifespan remained the same.

Some weaker players would completely lose their lifespan and die, but some stronger players would ultimately survive…

In the previous life, as many as twenty thousand people lost their lives completely because of this.

But now…

Not only had the twenty-kilometer radius been evacuated beforehand, but more importantly, Qin Feng's warning had already spread among the people in the Haicheng Ruins.

The vast majority of players knew something was wrong as soon as they saw the BOSS.

They logged off immediately!

This meant that the overall losses in Hai City this time would not be very significant.

Of course, if the BOSS were allowed to continue its rampage, the final outcome would definitely be terrible…

Fortunately, at this moment, Qin Feng arrived.

Riding Osirio and remaining in a state of stealth, he had arrived at the teleportation point in the center of the Haicheng Ruins.

"Let's go."

The two of them flew toward the 'Flame Fountain' Hideout.

Along the way, it could be seen that there were almost no players left in the City Ruins below, or there were some guild Hideouts where players lost to 'Chaos' were fighting each other…

And when Qin Feng flew into the Flame Fountain, he found…

There were also over forty people fighting each other at the respawn point of the Flame Fountain Hideout.

Among them were a white-haired youth and a flame mage dressed in red.

"Yunjianyue, Mountain Snow."

Qin Feng recognized the two of them but didn't pay it any mind.

Seeing that this group had also fallen into Chaos, their eyes red as they slaughtered each other, Qin Feng ignored them.

He had already obtained the entry and exit permissions for the 'Flame Fountain' Hideout.

So he went straight in…

"Here, hold it tight."

Qin Feng quickly found the core area, lifted the two-person-tall Phoenix Egg, and tossed it to Osirio.

"Got it!"

Osirio's eyes lit up as he reached out with his dragon claws and hugged the Phoenix Egg.

"Let's go."

Without giving the Epic-grade BOSS outside any time to react, Qin Feng jumped onto Osirio and instantly flew toward the horizon!

This situation…

Instantly made the Epic-grade BOSS blow a fuse!

Originally, the Epic-grade BOSS 'Lutil' had been enjoying herself while watching those humans fall into Chaos.

But as she was watching, she discovered that their egg had somehow flown away?!

Qin Feng's Stealth Level was too high; even this BOSS couldn't see through it.

All they could see was the fiery-red Phoenix Egg, which was originally inside the Flame Fountain, suddenly taking flight!

An egg was flying toward the horizon all by itself!

???

Whoosh!

The Epic-grade BOSS immediately gave chase!
