Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 99 War God

Lin Ye felt the completely different energy and blood within his body, like surging mercury.

In the past two weeks, his level has only increased by 1 level, barely reaching LV.17.

The upgrade speed is far slower than it was a while ago.

But Lin Ye completed a true transformation in his martial arts realm.

With a thought, he brought up the attribute panel.

[Endurance: 92.8]

[Temporary Skill: Crystallization]

The basic attributes on the panel did not show explosive growth.

But Lin Ye understood that numbers could not fully define his combat strength at this moment.

The true terror of a martial artist at the Meridian Opening Realm lies in their mastery of their own Qi and blood, a skill that has reached a completely new level.

Lin Ye raised his gun.

His eyes narrowed, his arm muscles tensed, and he casually stabbed at the rusty metal factory wall half a meter away!
In that instant, Lin Ye clearly felt that the total amount of qi and blood he mobilized was several times greater than before his breakthrough!
That condensed, almost tangible power flowed down his arm and into the gun.

laugh!
A sharp whistling sound rang out!
A sharp gust of wind, almost invisible to the naked eye, detached from the spear tip, drew a straight white line in the air, and slammed into the wall in the distance!

laugh!
A crack had been torn open in the wall!
As Lin Ye looked at the masterpiece of this shot, the image of Yan Hui's knife flashed through his mind.

Yan Hui's realm is definitely higher than mine when I first entered the Meridian Opening stage. He has probably already opened all twelve regular meridians, and may even have begun to open all eight extraordinary meridians.

But in terms of the power it has shown at this moment, my shot is no less powerful.

Lin Ye knew very well that Yan Hui had held back with that strike.

But wasn't my own shot also without using any spear momentum or charging up any force?

Lin Ye had no idea who would win if he fought Yan Hui again at this moment.

But he will definitely not be defeated as quickly as before.

In addition to improving one's martial arts foundation.

Lin Ye was also very curious about the extent to which the [Crystallization] skill had been enhanced after consuming so many source crystals.

All of this needs to be tested by a worthy opponent.

Lin Ye stood up, his gaze passing through the dilapidated windows of the factory building and landing on the deeper, more desolate heart of the abandoned city.

He glanced at the quest panel, at the advanced quest that had been hanging there for quite some time.

[Advanced Quest: Goblin Centurion]

It's time to go and meet those two gatekeepers who are entrenched here.

……

Lin Ye was not arrogant.

Even though his level was already on par with those two fused monsters, and he had even broken through to a higher realm.

He began the same tedious observation and planning he had done when he hunted that mutated black panther.

However, this time, Lin Ye only needed one day.

A day was enough for him to confirm several things.

First, although the two fused giants were once human, they have now been completely reduced to monsters dominated by instinct and strange commands.

Their intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary mutated beasts, but their behavior patterns are rigid and predictable.

Prioritize eliminating all mutated beasts within your field of vision.

Secondly, the abilities of the two giants are clearly distinct.

One is purely a power type, with a robust body and astonishing strength, capable of easily breaking and tearing apart tons of reinforced concrete, and then throwing it like a cannonball.

The other is an agile type, with a relatively slender body and a speed as fast as a ghost. Its hunting method relies on a huge chelicerae that has mutated from its right hand to thrust straight at its prey and kill it with one blow.

Third, and most importantly.

Within this abandoned city's third ring area, they have no rivals. All mutated beasts are instantly killed, making it impossible to test their defenses or identify any weaknesses.

Furthermore, although the two giants' activity ranges are not fixed, they always maintain close contact and will never allow the other to escape their sensory range. Lin Ye's goal is to defeat them one by one, which is the most reliable strategy.

Therefore, Lin Ye chose an abandoned multi-story parking garage as the battlefield.

It has six floors above ground and three floors below ground.

This complex terrain, with its jagged internal structure and numerous obstacles, is ideal for setting traps and is also an excellent location for dividing the battlefield and pulling monsters apart.

Lin Ye spent half a day setting up several traps at key points in the parking lot.

everything's ready.

He captured several low-level mutated beasts to use as bait to lure monsters.

Dark as ink.

The hunt has officially begun.

"Ouch-ouch-!!!"

A howl, filled with pain and hunger, came from the mouth of a mutated hyena whose hind leg had been broken by Lin Ye.

The stench of blood, mixed with its desperate howls, carried far across the deathly silent streets.

Not long after.

Heavy, drum-like footsteps came from the other end of the street.

The power-type fusion monster was successfully lured by the bait.

Lin Ye's figure was hidden behind a load-bearing pillar on the third floor of the parking lot, his aura completely concealed.

He watched as the giant dragged its heavy steps into the trap zone he had set up—a fragile area whose foundation he had destroyed beforehand.

It's now!

Lin Ye suddenly emerged from behind the pillar, his spear flashing like lightning, accurately piercing the steel bar supporting the last suspended concrete slab.

Boom! ! !
There was a loud noise!

The ground beneath the powerful behemoth's feet instantly collapsed! A crater over five meters in diameter appeared with a deafening roar!

Gravel and dust shot into the sky.

However, there was no joy on Lin Ye's face.

The moment the trap took effect, he heard an increasingly ferocious roar coming from the bottom of the pit!

Amidst the smoke and dust, the giant leaped across five or six meters, its thick right arm gripping the edge of the pit before it climbed out.

It only had a few minor scratches on its body, without even any noticeable bleeding.

Collapse traps are almost ineffective!
"Roar!!!"

Enraged, the giant monster locked its crimson eyes on Lin Ye's figure, let out a deafening roar, and charged forward with great strides!
Lin Ye's eyes were cold. Without lingering for a fight, he turned and retreated deeper into the parking lot.

He detonated the second trap as he ran at top speed.

Those were several oil drums filled with gasoline that he had placed in advance at the entrance on the second floor.

boom! ! !
Flames shot into the sky, forming a scorching wall of fire that instantly engulfed the giant's massive body.

A pungent, burnt smell filled the air.

But amidst the raging flames, the giant's steps faltered for less than two seconds.

It roared, its body engulfed in flames, like a fire demon from hell, and smashed through the wall of fire, its speed increasing rather than decreasing!

Flames cannot cause it any real damage either!

Lin Ye's heart sank slightly.

These two traps were the most powerful conventional methods he could think of.

In the end, all he did was scratch the other person's itch.

It seems that as these monsters become stronger, these traps are gradually becoming meaningless.

Ultimately, it takes real strength to defeat them.

However, although he failed to harm the fusion monster, Lin Ye's core objective was gradually being achieved.

Just as the powerful giant was enraged and frantically chased after Lin Ye, rushing all the way to the upper level of the parking lot.

The deep underground entrance to the parking lot.

Another slender figure appeared silently.

It's that agile fusion giant.

A mutated serval that Lin Ye had released earlier was now fleeing in a panic and happened to rush past the underground ramp in front of it.
