Chapter 72: Hope
As the long staff collided with the robot, the Rx Pursuer exploded.
*Boom! Boom!*
Seven fully charged little robots self-destructed, creating an astonishingly powerful blast. The ground was blasted into a large black pit, and countless pieces of earth flew everywhere.
In the arena, the Assassin’s Mark skill was triggered, and double the flames burned the Chaos Demon King, causing him to let out a painful groan. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
“Not bad, kid. I underestimated you.” The Chaos Demon King emerged from the flames. The armor on his body was cracked, his fur was scorched black, large patches of blood had congealed, and numerous dark wounds were revealed, making him look extremely ferocious.
As he spoke, sparks flew out, caused by the Burning skill.
“Minor injury? Or serious injury?” Li Feng’s eyes focused on the Chaos Demon King. He naturally didn’t expect the seven little robots to kill the opponent; severely injuring him would have been enough.
However, his expression changed in the next moment because Li Feng saw that the wounds on the Chaos Demon King’s body were gradually healing.
“Self-healing ability.”
Li Feng hadn’t expected the Chaos Demon King to possess a skill like Self-Healing. This made things much more troublesome.
A dimensional creature with such high defense and a recovery-type skill was simply despair-inducing.
“Die!” The Chaos Demon King grinned, taking large strides towards Li Feng. A terrifying aura emanated from his body, stirring up a fierce wind that rustled the surrounding leaves.
“Go.”
Li Feng naturally didn’t dare to confront him head-on and dodged. He was very weak himself. He sent out another five little robots, charging at the Chaos Demon King like angry little bulls.
“Hmm!”
The Chaos Demon King’s expression changed. He was still wary of the explosive power of these little robots. He threw his long staff, smashing it towards the robots, not daring to get too close.
However, this action made Li Feng’s eyes light up. “It seems the little robots can still threaten this monkey.”
This made him excited again. If the Rx Pursuers were truly useless, with the Chaos Demon King’s domineering personality, he would definitely have chosen to confront them head-on.
This meant there was room for maneuvering.
*Boom! Boom!*
This time, three of the five little robots were smashed by the Chaos Demon King’s staff, but the remaining two still exploded, causing the Chaos Demon King to cough up more blood.
He roared in anger, pointing at Li Feng, “You slimy worm! If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one! What kind of ability is it to shoot arrows from the shadows?”
“Indeed, that Self-Healing ability seems strong, but the internal injuries this monkey sustained won’t heal so easily. And I still have the Burning skill, which is practically the bane of Self-Healing.”
An excited expression appeared on Li Feng’s face. He ignored the Chaos Demon King’s provocation. After all, he was just a physically weak Summoner. One-on-one combat wasn’t his forte; group fights were the way to go.
He then waved his hand, and the remaining five robots all charged out. At the same time, he used his last bit of mana to apply the Assassin’s Mark to the opponent.
“Hmm!” The Chaos Demon King saw that there were still robots. Then, feeling the strange mark on his body again, he roared, “Indestructible Golden Body!”
Indestructible Golden Body was an advanced version of Diamond Body, granting him powerful defensive capabilities for one minute. However, after one minute, he would enter a weakened state.
He usually wouldn’t use this skill because, in his weakened state, even an ordinary player could potentially kill him. But now, he was pushed to his limits by Li Feng.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
This time, the Chaos Demon King directly tanked the robots. Terrifying flames raged in the air. He spat out another mouthful of blood, but his eyes gleamed with ferocity. He had ultimately endured it.
“Die!” Now, the Chaos Demon King’s fur was dull, and his aura was weak. He took a large stride and appeared before Li Feng, raising his long staff and smashing it down.
Li Feng showed no fear on his face, instead revealing a look of delight. He saw hope. This monkey, like him, had fallen into a weakened state.
*Thump!*
The game screen went black. Li Feng felt a slight pain in his head. “It’s been a while since I’ve tasted death.”
◈◈◈
Since only the Dark Cat Forest and Loran Depths remained in the game, he hadn’t died in the game for a long time. Today, he had experienced it again.
“Phew!”
Li Feng exhaled slightly. His face was pale, but his eyes were full of spirit. “If I can find a few more teammates, I should be able to kill the Chaos Demon King. But who should I choose?”
As long as he could drag the Chaos Demon King into a weakened state, even a slightly stronger ordinary player could kill him.
However, the people he teamed up with had to be trustworthy. Otherwise, if a skill book really dropped, a conflict might arise.
In this world, only benefits were truly reliable.
“Zhou Dayu.” Li Feng thought of Fatty, but he quickly shook his head. Zhou Dayu was a Support Class. Even facing a weakened Chaos Demon King, he wouldn’t stand a chance.
“That’s right.” His eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his forehead. “How could I forget about Hua An and Luo Feng?”
These two had very strong backgrounds. Even if a valuable skill book dropped, they probably wouldn’t betray him on the spot. Moreover, they had made deals before, so Li Feng trusted them to some extent.
With this in mind, he immediately called Hua An.
“Hello, who is this?”
The call was quickly answered, and a rather authoritative voice came through, making Li Feng chuckle. “It’s me, Li Feng.”
“What’s the matter?” Hua An was slightly surprised that Li Feng would call him.
“I want to kill a Dimensional Lord, but I’m a bit short on strength. I’d like to invite you to join me. Are you in?”
“I’m in. What dungeon?” Hua An was a little excited. He also wanted to see Li Feng’s true strength.
He had been training under his mentor these days and had become much more proficient in using his skills. Moreover, he had replaced the Sky Thunder Technique skill. He now had the confidence to fight even the Thunderbolt Gobzan from before.
The sky had cleared, the rain had stopped, and he felt he could compare himself to Li Feng again.
Li Feng: “Water Curtain Cave, Chaos Demon King!”
“Water… what? Water Curtain Cave? Are you sure?” Hua An was shocked. “Are you serious? You’re not joking with me, are you?”
He had been in Jianye Academy for some time now and naturally knew the difficulty of the Water Curtain Cave. It was a nightmare in the eyes of new students.
Even he wouldn’t dare to say he could solo the Chaos Demon King.
“Are you in or not?” Li Feng didn’t waste words and asked directly.
‘D*mn it!’ Hua An wanted to curse. He was just about to show off in front of Li Feng, but the guy dropped a bombshell. How was he supposed to respond?
Hua An gritted his teeth. “I’m in. If you dare to go, why wouldn’t I? It’s just the Water Curtain Cave Dungeon.”
Li Feng: “Good. Tomorrow at noon, we’ll meet at Sky City.”
