Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 97: Capturing the First Boss
Monarch Melpa frantically bounced and struggled inside the trap, unleashing a barrage of powerful, non-elemental skills. In particular, her unique 'Mount Tai Press' skill caused the ground to tremble violently with each use, collapsing a section of the trap. Although Kakarot was quite powerful after his transformation, he only lasted for less than three minutes before vanishing in a flash of light and returning to the party list.

The gap between the two is indeed too large. Firstly, there is the level suppression, and secondly, Monarch Melupa is a BOSS-level mythical beast, whose various enhancements completely outclass the ordinary Iron Fist Ape.

No matter how strong the attributes of a mythical beast are, they are still based on its basic attributes and basic qualities.

Kakarot temporarily withdrew from the battle, and Blazing Bull immediately took his place.

It is foreseeable that once Monarch Melupa is captured, the Blazing Bull, which also focuses on being a tank and dealing massive damage with powerful impacts, will be kicked out of the fighting team and relegated to being a fire starter in the stronghold. Therefore, this battle can also be regarded as the last battle in which Chanan and the Bull teamed up together, and it is worth commemorating.

Niu Niu seemed to sense this as well, so even though its attributes were relatively weak, it still performed quite impressively. Its body was covered in flames as it fearlessly charged towards Monarch Melupa, who suppressed it with both level and rank. However, during the charge, it died before it could even begin, leaving behind only tears for the hero. Even though Niu Niu was fearless, the gap between them was too great, and it was still crushed into a meat patty by Monarch Melupa with a single crushing blow, disappearing into light.

Niu Niu's death was not glorious at all, and even a bit frustrating.

In its area of ​​expertise, it was completely and utterly crushed... without a doubt.

With the Fiery Bull gone, Monarch Melupa had no more distractions. She jumped out of the first trap, and then... plop, fell into the second trap.

There were no nails or sharp stakes in this trap, but rather a large amount of water mixed with mud and sand. The narrow pit was seven or eight meters deep. Monarch Melupa was trapped inside, struggling to jump out again, but unable to extricate herself... Her enormous weight was no longer an advantage, but a burden.

The three mythical beasts that had been tamed by Shi Shugang began to unleash their skills under the command of their leader.

Their levels are low, and their skill damage is not high. When they hit the level 23 monarch Melpa, it's like scratching a thorn. But if they hit her repeatedly, they can still deduct a little bit of health... barely enough to consume a little bit of the monarch Melpa's healing.

Yang Guo finally made the first move. He gripped the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword tightly, soared into the air, and delivered a heavy blow to the bone crown on the head of the monarch, Melupa.

The hard bone crown cracked open, and blood splattered from Monarch Melupa's forehead. It grew increasingly frenzied, its howls echoing throughout the forest, startling the phantom beasts that had been watching from a distance, causing them to flee quickly and daring not to approach.

clap clap clap!
Yang Guo wielded the heavy sword with ease, executing two sets of sword techniques in succession. Every move landed on Monarch Melupa, yet he failed to kill her.

This thing is both too meaty and too tough!

Cha Nan even thought that it would be great if this thing could maintain its high defense and high health after being subdued.

However, after being subjected to Yang Guo's continuous attacks, Queen Melupa was indeed seriously injured, and her struggles and roars became much weaker.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong also joined the attack.

The countless shadows of sticks and the howling dragon shadows combined perfectly, crashing down on Monarch Melupa one after another. This ferocious and enormous phantom beast finally succumbed to the oppression and collapsed into the mud, unable to rise and struggle any longer.

Cha Nan then used a high-level Palu Ball to measure the capture success rate, which had reached 27%.

Without hesitation, I threw out a ball to test the waters.

However, the Parul Ball landed on Monarch Melpa and bounced off without even a cast bar.

This indicates that although the mythical beast was on the verge of death, it still had a strong will to resist.

"Keep fighting! Just leave it a breath!" Cha Nan said. The two Grandmasters and one Innate Realm expert, the three masters, made their move again, but this time the methods they used were no longer mainly based on violent destruction, but rather on many methods of attrition and wear-down.

For example, Yang Guo used the rarely used 'Jade Bee Needle', a hidden weapon taught to him by Xiaolongnu that he had never used before, but now he used it without hesitation.

After harassing Monarch Melpa for another three minutes, Chanan used a high-level Palo Alto to measure the capture success rate, which had reached 33%. He then threw out another Palo Alto.

This time it wasn't bounced off, but it also failed.

continue!

Continue!
Continue!

It took a full eleven high-level Paluk balls from Chanan before the monarch Mepal was finally subdued and transformed into a stream of light to report to the base space.

Meanwhile, in Cha Nan's backpack, light gathered, and three ancient civilization components appeared, while two more ancient technology points appeared on the technology page.

"Huh... this drop rate is a bit high!" Cha Nan remembered that when playing the game, the first time you defeated a normal BOSS, you would get an ancient civilization component and an ancient technology point.

"Could it be because BOSS-level mythical beasts are rarer and harder to find in the realistic mythical beast world?" Cha Nan suspected that it was not just for this reason, but the information he had was limited and there was no comparison, so he could only leave the question for the time being.

However, in any case, this is a great thing for now.

This means that he can now plan to establish breeding ranches and manufacture the most basic Palu egg incubators.

"Regarding the milk and honey, we can try using the ones brought from the martial arts world first. If the cakes we make don't produce a breeding effect, then we'll go find Bo Ba Niu and Knight Bees." Cha Nan thought to himself, but he didn't rush back to the stronghold. Instead, he led everyone into the cave, heading towards the mountain cave that Monarch Melupa had previously been in.

The cave was long and narrow, winding and twisting. After walking for about a hundred meters, we finally arrived at an open space inside the mountain.

Beneath the rock walls on both sides, some glowing cave mushrooms were growing. These were an ingredient for a medicinal concoction, and Cha Nan collected them.

Deep inside the cave, there were indeed two large open-pit Paru ore deposits standing there, radiating abundant primordial energy. Near these two open-pit Paru ore deposits, there were also some smaller associated iron ore and coal ore deposits, all of which were worth mining.

"As expected, BOSSes don't stay in places without treasures. Even the stronger Gale Falcons know to build their nests in places with Palu ore. How could Monarch Melpa be an exception?" Chanan felt that he had found a pattern. In fact, there was no need to search for BOSSes aimlessly. Instead, he should first find out where there might be rich Palu ore deposits. Then, in places where the mineral deposits are concentrated, there is a high probability that BOSSes will be hiding.

Shi Shugang and his team of magical beasts stayed behind to mine ore, and then slowly carried it back to the stronghold. Cha Nan, along with Guo Jing, Yang Guo, and Huang Rong, returned to the stronghold first to prepare for building a breeding ranch and a Palu egg incubator.

Even if breeding cannot be started for the time being, the incubator can still be used for hatching eggs.

Cha Nan still has some Palut eggs in his possession.

They were originally meant to be eaten, but now perhaps we can try hatching them first.

　It will be available at midnight on Sunday. I hope you'll all support it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
