Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Splash—splash—

The Flaming Rhinoceros treads on the water, stirring up waves.

Sizzle—Sizzle—

The lake water splashed onto it, evaporating from its hot blood, but also lowering its body temperature.

Beneath the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros's black skin, its magma-like blood darkened, and its aura rapidly declined.

"Old Ji, Fatty Lao, it's your turn now."

Before Xiao Yun could finish speaking, two muffled gusts of wind came from both sides.

On the back of the Flaming Rhinoceros, the Blood Curse Ox-Bird's pupils constricted as it issued a loud warning.

"Gurgle!"

At the same time, blood mist surged between its wings, and two barriers quickly took shape.

"I've been waiting for you for so long."

Not far away, Wang Tianyuan's lips curled up slightly as he aimed at the Blood Curse Ox-Bird, which was not yet protected by the barrier, and pulled the trigger of the secret crossbow.

shhhhhh!

Three sharp arrows pierced the air and arrived in an instant, blocking all the Blood Curse Ox-Bird's escape routes.

"Gurgle!"

Sensing the threat of death, the Blood Curse Ox-Bird let out a low growl and forcibly interrupted its barrier-forming process.

At the same time, three sharp arrows were already close at hand.

Without any hesitation, the Blood Curse Ox-Bird flapped its wings and took to the air, its wings whipping up a gale that formed a blood-red storm, blocking Wang Tianyuan's attack.

However, the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros on the other side was not so lucky.

bang bang-

Ji Mingyu and Zhong Mo's attacks landed on the Flame Calamity Rhino at the same time. Under the long-planned surprise attack, even the Flame Calamity Rhino with its strong defense was severely injured.

"Aww!"

The Flame Calamity Rhinoceros let out a painful howl, its thick skin cracking open, dented from the blows of the axe and the Holy Book, its wounds a bloody mess.

Hot blood dripped into the water, making a sizzling sound.

The Flaming Rhinoceros thrashed wildly, crashing into Ji Mingyu and Zhong Mo.

Zhong Mo raised his shield, firmly planted it, and took a blocking stance, withstanding its attack head-on. He even had the strength to use his other hand to grab an axe and chop fiercely.

Ji Mingyu was prepared. After dodging the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros's attack, he flipped over and leaped onto its back, then swung his fists and smashed them wildly onto the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros's head.

"Awooooo!"

The Flame Calamity Rhinoceros was momentarily disoriented, raising its bewildered eyes as it tried to find its partner.

"Gurgle!"

In the sky, the Blood Curse Ox-bird responded anxiously, trying several times to use magic to help the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros escape, but was always interrupted by arrows shot by Wang Tianyuan at the crucial moment.

The two bosses' stats plummeted, and Lu Zhi and the others watched in stunned silence at the edge of the battlefield.

"Defeating the boss... is it really that easy?"

"Could it be that we just haven't found a way before? If we separate the two bosses and defeat them one by one, I feel like we can do it too."

The girls whispered among themselves, but Lu Zhi, who was beside them, shook her head:

"Tactical theory is one thing, but actual combat is another."

She glanced at Ji Mingyu and the others, then at the two bosses who were being beaten with their heads held down, her expression somewhat complicated.

"We all know that these two bosses are fire-based, and water can neutralize some of their power, but does anyone have a way to lure the bosses to shallow water?"

"We all know that the most important thing to deal with these symbiotic bosses is to break them up and prevent them from fighting together, but who can guarantee that this can be done?"

The girls remained silent, but some were still unconvinced.

"Although...although it's difficult, we can always manage to do it if we think of a way, right?"

She gave a soft hum and said:

"Aren't we all in the Ninth Sequence? Why can they do what we can't? Sister Lu Zhi, you're underestimating us too much."

"Okay, let's call Xiao Yun now, and you can go and replace that fat guy. I'm sure Xiao Yun and the others will be happy to do so."

The girl paused for a moment, then fell silent.

Although she is also a warrior, it would be better to let her die than to withstand the BOSS's attacks like Zhong Mo or to hold down the Flame Calamity Rhino's head like Ji Mingyu.

"What a bunch of freaks... How can these guys be so strong? Are they all A-level talents?"

Upon hearing her words, the goddesses reacted in various ways.

Many girls looked at Xiao Yun and the others, their beautiful eyes sparkling with fervent desire, harboring their own thoughts.

If I could get on the good side of such a powerful person, wouldn't survival be much easier in the future?

Suddenly, even Wang Tianyuan, who was on the "Scumbag Killer List," became handsome and dashing again in the eyes of the women.

Being both strong and handsome, is that what you call a scumbag? That's called being dashing and charming, okay?

Lu Zhi glanced at the girls with starry eyes and sighed inwardly.

Admiring strength is human nature, and she couldn't be bothered to care.

Her gaze returned to the battlefield.

In just a few minutes of talking, the two bosses had lost more than half of their health.

Although this hunting efficiency was beyond imagination, Lu Zhi still had some doubts.

Apart from the very beginning of the battle, Xiao Yun has not made a move since.

Although that frenzied state of blood and fire cannot last, according to Lu Zhi's judgment, if Xiao Yun adds damage, the kill efficiency will be at least 30% faster.

She glanced at Xiao Yun at the edge of the battlefield, her eyes flashing:

"What is he waiting for?"

Just then, a sharp screech resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Gurgle!!!"

Seemingly unable to bear the harassment any longer, the Blood Curse Ox-Bird spread its wings, unleashing a crimson storm, followed by a blazing inferno.

Wang Tianyuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his hand and fired a crossbow bolt, but it was easily blocked by the flames burning on the wings of the Blood Curse Ox-bird.

"The boss has entered its second phase!"

Wang Tianyuan's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath and was just about to unleash his full power when he heard the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros roar from the other side.

"roar!"

On its body, flesh and blood churned like waves, and its black scales rubbed together, sparking intense heat and crackling.

hum - hum - hum -

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros, Ji Mingyu's pupils constricted. He flipped over and was about to pull Zhong Mo away to avoid it.

Just then, the power accumulated on the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros suddenly erupted.

boom!

A violent surge of blood energy erupted, and the force of the attack sent the two flying.

"Is this the second phase of the BOSS? Its power is terrifying."

At the edge of the battlefield, several girls turned pale instantly, and Lu Zhi's expression was also tense.

The power unleashed by the two bosses simultaneously was terrifying; even with Xiao Yun and his group's exceptional strength, they were likely powerless to stop them.

"Sister Lu Zhi, shall we withdraw?"

"Wait...wait a little longer."

Lu Zhi pursed her lips, constantly rubbing the metal ball in her hand, her eyes flashing.

The flames on the Blood Curse Ox-Bird grew increasingly intense as it rapidly approached the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros.

"Damn it, we can't stop it."

Wang Tianyuan cursed angrily, feeling somewhat powerless.

At that moment, a magical spear instantly materialized behind the Blood Curse Ox-Bird and shot out into the air.

"Gurgle!"

The Blood Curse Ox-Bird cried out in alarm, flapping its wings to create a blood-red flame barrier behind it.

crackling sound—

The flame barrier shattered instantly, emitting a mournful cry of despair.

A cold glint flashed in the Blood Curse Ox-Bird's eyes, and blazing flames rose, reinforcing the barrier and firmly wedging the spear in mid-air.

Having just deflected an attack and before he could even catch his breath, another sharp sword beam pierced through the air and was upon him in an instant.

This attack was too tricky. The Blood Curse Ox-Bird, which had just blocked the magic spear, had no time to defend itself and could only raise its wings to block in front of it.

Boom boom boom—

The sword's edge shattered the flames surrounding the Blood Curse Ox-Bird, and blood and flames exploded together like dazzling fireworks.

Amidst the smoke and dust of the explosion, the Blood Curse Ox-Bird let out a mournful cry and plummeted from the smoke.

Its right wing drooped limply, and between the bloody wounds, the flesh and bone had been completely severed, only held together by fascia to prevent it from breaking completely. It looked utterly miserable.

"It's a success!"

Lu Zhi cheered, but when she saw the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros rushing towards the Blood Curse Ox-Bird, her face turned pale.

5 meters...3 meters...

As it drew closer to its companion, the Blood Curse Ox-Bird in the air looked at the figure wielding the longsword and a slight smile appeared on its lips.

These guys didn't even see through its disguise, and actually gave it a chance to catch its breath.

Soon, when they return to their companions, it will be the end for these guys!

But the next second, upon seeing the slash marks that lit up on its wings, the smile on its lips suddenly froze on the spot.

"We've been waiting for you for so long..."

Xiao Yun's lips curled up, and he made a hand seal with one hand.

"Break the void—switch positions!"

hum!

The world suddenly changed, and when the Blood Curse Ox-Bird came to its senses, it found itself with nothing beneath it.

It turned its head in terror and looked at the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros.

The Flame Calamity Rhinoceros and the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with utter bewilderment.

My companions are over there, and what's above my head...?

Before it could react, Xiao Yun's cold whisper came from above.

"Calm your mind, calm your breath, concentrate your spirit..."

In Xiao Yun's eyes, the lines of runes intertwined, and the patterns of all things were clearly visible.

Immediately afterwards, all things subsided, and the world in Xiao Yun's eyes finally coalesced into a single point on the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros.

Despite the fact that the opportunity to kill a powerful enemy was right in front of him, Xiao Yun remained completely calm.

He simply raised his hand, grabbed the falling spear behind him, and began chanting the incantation for the "Ode to Blood and Fire."

"Sacrificing life, burning blood, a furnace of life, an undying ode."

boom!

On the spear in Xiao Yun's hand, even purer and more violent crimson flames shot into the sky, revealing a ferocious beast head with its gaping maw.

The Flame Calamity Rhinoceros's eyes were filled with terror, but it had no time to react.

scoff-

The spear pierced its body in an instant, and roaring crimson flames erupted, igniting it from the inside out.

The Flame Calamity Rhinoceros let out a painful cry, shaking its body wildly, but it was pinned to the ground by the spear and could not break free.

Xiao Yun flipped over and landed on the ground, picked up the mithril sword, and slowly walked towards the Blood Curse Ox-Bird.

crackling sounds—

Behind him, the body of the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros was ablaze with intense flames, and its mournful cries grew fainter and fainter.

The Blood Curse Ox-Bird staggered to its feet, trembling as it raised its broken wings and let out a final cry toward Xiao Yun.

"Gurgle!"

Xiao Yun nodded slightly and raised his hand to unleash a sword strike.

stab-

With a soft whistling sound as the longsword tore through flesh and bone, the charred body of the Blood Curse Ox-Bird slowly collapsed.

At the same time, the mournful cries of the Flame Calamity Rhinoceros behind them disappeared, and the blood-red flames on its charred body slowly died down.

"Phew...it's over."

Xiao Yun Chang let out a breath, looked at the sunset on the horizon, and a smile appeared on his tired face.

"Minister Lu, now that our biggest threat has been eliminated, what delicious food are you preparing for us for dinner?"

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Lu Zhi, Xiao Yun looked over in surprise.

Lu Zhi leaned against a tree like a wooden doll, biting her lip and staring blankly at him, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.
