Chapter 275: Self-Destruct Device
At this moment, the Zombie Boss, with one of its legs already blasted off, remained in a “crippled” state, its mobility largely diminished. Feng Kai held onto his long spear, did not fight back directly, but kept harassing and attacking the Boss.
The Blood Crows and Blood Zombies also rushed towards the Boss. Even though they were no match for the Boss, being cleaved into halves by the Boss, they successfully delayed the Boss, contributing their part.
Now, around the Boss, ice and snow swirled around. Once the Blood Crows flew within three to four meters of the Boss, their speed dropped, and their bodies gradually began to freeze.
Feng Kai noticed a “Frost Laceration” debuff in his status bar. This level three debuff reduced movement and attack speed by 30% if within five meters of the Boss. There’s also a certain chance of getting frozen.
Feng Kai understood that the Boss had begun to fight desperately, which was not sustainable. His current task was not to kill the Boss, but to last until Song Jian emerged from the Physics Building since Song Jian would naturally deal with the Boss.
“Go for it, have a go! Didn’t I originally want to fight this Boss alone?” Feng Kai murmured to himself, gritting his teeth while fiercely jabbing with his spear.
“All of you will die!”
“Eight Directions Soul Extinguishing Sword!”
The one-legged Zombie Boss, the lower its vitality, the fiercer its fight. Amazingly, it used frost force to replace its severed leg, and soon enough, a large block of ice had taken its place.
Though movements were still not very easy, turning around posed no real issues.
“So it can do that too? Hey pal, you’re doing a pretty good job with your prostheses. Instead of staying here as a Boss, don’t you think it’d be more promising to work in prosthetics?” Feng Kai quipped, retreating step by step.
A dozen transparent icy swords emerged above the Boss, flying towards the retreating Feng Kai.
Feng Kai fled towards a small grove in front of the Physics Building.
With a series of booms, a third of the grove was blown apart, revealing the bare ground covered in frost. Even the trees near the edge of the explosion were covered in frost, giving off a chill of midwinter.
Feng Kai slumped in front of a fractured tree stump, his face filled with terror. He had witnessed the Boss use this move against Song Jian. The effect seemed extreme, but Song Jian seemed to incur little damage. However, when the attack was directed at Feng Kai, he felt as though he had met his end.
“Too terrifying!” Feng Kai murmured in terror. One of the frost long swords’ shadows hit him, dropping his vitality by a third. Thankfully, it was directional and not targeted. Otherwise, even leaving a complete corpse behind would be wishful thinking.
“Originally I wanted to take this boss on my own…” Feng Kai was in pain. Initially, he pinned his hope on landmines, but now he discovered that without the simultaneous blast of five or six infantry landmines, it’s challenging to inflict lethal damage on the Boss.
However, he could only set up one landmine at a time, making things awkward. After the boss stepped on one and suffered severe damage, it became furious with Feng Kai. But he didn’t have time to set up the second mine, and had to dodge the Boss’s attacks.
After releasing large magic tricks twice in a row, the Boss also seemed tired. It limped towards Feng Kai with an ‘ice-block’ for a leg making a ‘crac’ noise at each step, leaving traces of ice shavings.
Feng Kai became afraid of the Boss. He didn’t have many skills, only the ability to set infantry landmines and basic gunmanship.
Taking setting up infantry landmines as his primary skill, Feng Kai hardly needed to produce the landmines, ten would generate each day automatically. With an increase in levels, their power would increase too, making them his most potent attack.
Initially, he assumed that he could kill this boss alone. Now in retrospect, that was just his misinterpretation. Feng Kai felt an impulse to run away.
The villain, although locked on him, wouldn’t chase you endlessly like ordinary monsters, as long as you ran far away. Escaping should be easy.
“Three minutes, I said I could delay the monster for three minutes, but it has only been over a minute…” Feng Kai was in turmoil. Looking at the Boss slowly approaching him, he yelled and made a decision. He climbed up from the ground, held the long spear tightly, and rushed towards the Boss again.
Ding Ding Dong Dong-
In front of the Boss, Feng Kai had no resistance left in him. Due to the increased vitality recovery speed from the main quest, Feng Kai hadn’t run out of vitality yet.
In fact, Feng Kai fought so desperately not only because of the promised three minutes, but also because he had ambitions for the Boss. Such a powerful boss, if killed, would surely drop great loot.
Of course, the main piece would be taken by Song Jian, but at least Feng Kai should get a share. Without any contribution, even if Song Jian gave him some goods, Feng Kai would probably feel embarrassed to take them.
“Three minutes, three minutes, ah~”
Boom!
Once again, Feng Kai was sent flying by a strike from the Boss. He fell heavily to the ground, feeling as though all the bones in his body were broken.
Pu~
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Feng Kai glanced at his vitality, which had dropped to a third. With such low blood volume, if the opponent released another big move, he might die right there.
“Three minutes, three minutes.” Feng Kai murmured, standing up once again with gritted teeth, gulped down a potion, and clung to his long spear with trembling hands.
Just then, a severe explosion came from the third floor of the Physics Building. A figure flew out of the window, holding something shimmering with blue light.
Thud-.
Song Jian crashed onto the ground from the third floor, floating up a damage of over sixty points.
“Damn, there’s even a self-destruction mechanism…” Song Jian was frightened. He nearly lost this “unique” device in the blast. Fortunately, he blocked with his body at the last moment and managed to retain the device in the last second.
A light blue sphere was tightly grasped in his hand, with a mini operating table floating in the center of the transparent sphere.
Seeing Song Jian coming out of the Physics Building, Feng Kai’s eyes lit up, calling out: “Boss! Save me!”
