Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of liquid, the wounds of the Mandrill King healed quickly. Not long after, he was back to normal. He turned around and glared at Zhang Shi and others.

Seeing the Mandrill King's wounds healing so quickly, Zhang Shi's eyes glared, secretly amazed at the monster's remarkable resilience. He quickly signaled to Zhao Feng, and the two of them understood, deciding to adopt a more aggressive tactic.

"Everyone, concentrate your firepower and contain its movements!" Zhang Shi ordered loudly. At the same time, his figure turned into a black shadow again, and he used the Shadow Step to shuttle across the battlefield, trying to confuse the King of Mandrills.

The soldiers reacted quickly. The musketeers adjusted their angles and fired dense bullets like a rainstorm. Although it was difficult to penetrate the thick skin of the Mandrill King, it successfully attracted its attention and prevented it from focusing on Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng took the opportunity to circle around the Mandrill King and swung his massive axe. Each blow was accompanied by a roar, attempting to tear a hole in its weak defense. After the attack, he immediately retreated, not daring to engage it head-on.

The Mandrill King roared furiously, his massive body darting left and right across the battlefield, attempting to escape the relentless onslaught. Often, with a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng was forced to dodge quickly. However, he and his musket cleverly formed two angles, making it difficult for the Mandrill King to protect both ends, and his energy was rapidly depleted.

Zhang Shi, using the flexibility of Shadow Step, only attacked when the skill had two charges, constantly flashing around the Mandrill King, harassing it. Looking for an opportunity to kill it with one strike, it wasn't long before the Mandrill King's body was covered in wounds again, blood gushing out, and its speed was getting slower and slower.

Zhang Shi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, closely following every move of the King of Mandrills, fearing that this cunning mandrill was deliberately showing weakness. The three sides attacked with caution and never let the other side close the distance easily, just waiting for that decisive moment.

Suddenly, the Mandrill King let out a deafening roar, and his body shook violently, sending the surrounding soldiers back several steps. Its eyes were red, as if burning with rage, and it charged straight at Zhang Shi.

Zhang Shi's heart tightened, but he didn't retreat. He took a deep breath, his strength surging, and without even looking, he lifted Old Duan and slashed forward.

He moved his body to the side, cleverly avoiding the fatal blow of the King of Mandrills, and at the same time, he swung his knife back, leaving a deep wound on the arm of the King of Mandrills.

However, the Mandrill King seemed to have anticipated his move, twisting its massive body in mid-air. The moment Old Duan's arm made contact, its other hand unexpectedly reached out to grab Zhang Shi at an incredible angle. Startled, Zhang Shi quickly activated Shadow Step to distance himself.

The Mandrill King seemed a little annoyed at not being able to subdue Zhang Shi. After shaking off the blood on his hands, he steadied himself and attacked Zhao Feng again.

The two families fought from the open space to the woods. The King of Mandrills was incredibly powerful, and each attack was enough to destroy the surrounding trees. Zhang Shi relied on his flexible body and Lao Duan's sharpness to deal with the King of Mandrills. The King of Mandrills was covered with scars, and even though he found a chance to drink a few more mouthfuls of monkey wine, his wounds could not be completely healed, and the grass around him was all scarlet.

The Mandrill King leaned against an ancient tree, breathing heavily. After a long battle, even he was beginning to tire. Zhang Shi's men and horses were even more exhausted. Even Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng were somewhat exhausted. Many soldiers had pale lips and trembling fingers. The intense pursuit and fighting had pushed their physical strength and willpower to the limit.

Suddenly, the white mist behind them became thicker, and a group of people passed through the mist, revealing their figures and heading straight towards Zhang Shi.

Zhang Shi looked at the group of figures and his expression lit up with joy.

The visitors were Ge Dalong and Wu Qing. They led fifty infantrymen and approached rapidly with artillery pulled by horses.

It turned out that Zhang Shi had already informed his companions at the shelter when the Mandrill King was taking monkey wine to heal his wounds. After arranging matters within the shelter, they checked their equipment and brought some soldiers to reinforce, arriving just in time before the main force was exhausted.

Wu Qing quickly lit a bunch of incense, and all kinds of halos turned on. The soldiers felt as if they had eaten Snickers, their physical strength recovered rapidly, and their various attributes also improved significantly. They quickly raised their muskets and continued to shoot at the King of Mandrills.

Ge Dalong first cast an ice blizzard on the head of the Mandrill King, and then fired a series of ice cones, successfully controlling the already exhausted Mandrill King and restricting its movements.

"Bang bang bang!"

The artillery had adjusted the angle and fired at the target in unison.

The King of Mandrills was huge, and the artillery could fire at its body without precise aiming.

The cannon was much more powerful than the musket. The king of mandrills was unable to dodge and was immediately blown to pieces with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Zhao Feng seized the opportunity when the Mandrill King was about to open his mouth and swung his massive axe fiercely. With the force of splitting mountains and splitting rocks, the axe blade struck the Mandrill King's head directly.

The Mandrill King roared in pain, his body stumbling forward involuntarily. Zhang Shi seized the opportunity to follow, flashing to its side. Old Duan flashed through like lightning, this time piercing the Mandrill King's heart directly.

"Ow~"

The King of Mandrills collapsed to the ground powerlessly, his eyes fixed on Zhang Shi, his chest and abdomen contracting violently.

To prevent any accidents, Zhang Shi didn't move forward immediately, but waited for the system's kill notification. About two minutes later, the Mandrill King finally expired, and the rare-level boss's massive experience reward arrived. Zhang Shi flashed with a golden light, reaching level 22. Zhao Feng and the others also skipped levels to level 20, unlocking new skills.

The skill Zhao Feng unlocked was called Berserk, which could significantly increase his strength and agility for 10 seconds. The trade-off was that once the skill wore off, he would fall into a weakened state, significantly depleting his stamina.

This shortcoming is not a disadvantage for Zhang Shi and others who are wealthy. At most, they can just consume more consumables. Anyway, there are a lot of foods in the warehouse to replenish physical strength and energy.

The skill unlocked by Ge Dalong is Ice Armor, which can cast an ice protective armor on himself or friendly units, which can withstand a certain degree of attack and absorb energy. When the ice armor is broken, it will also launch ice fragments in all directions, which can cause damage and slow down the enemy.

It is a life-saving skill with good effects. The most important thing is that it can also be used by teammates, so it is very practical.

The skill that Wu Qing unlocked is Curse, which is a single negative status skill that can comprehensively reduce the attributes of the hit unit according to a percentage, and if the opponent dies, the curse will be transmitted. It can be regarded as a damage-increasing auxiliary skill.
