Chapter 1 The King of Trees

Upon hearing Shi Feng's command, Gu Jiuji, looking at the towering King of Trees that resembled a mountain peak, raised the Titan's Guardian in his hand and charged towards it.

"Is it really okay to have him pull the monster alone?" Feng Qianyu watched Gu Jiuji getting closer and closer to the King of Trees, and worried, "It would be better to have more people pull the monster, so we can share the damage."

Compared to the King of Trees, Gu Jiuji's size was no different from an ant, not to mention the difference in attributes. Facing the twelve main vines of the King of Trees at once, even the top MTs of today, let alone Tier 3 summoned beasts, would probably be seriously injured and their attributes would drop with a single blow.

"No need, Jiuji alone is enough." Shi Feng said with a smile.

Although some changes have occurred with the King of Trees, the fundamental skills and attack patterns will not change. For Bosses like the King of Trees, it will directly use the Tier 3 skill Thorns Strike on the first locked target.

Even if this move cannot kill a Tier 3 summoned beast, it can seriously injure it. Not to mention players. Tier 3 summoned beasts are valuable combat power, so naturally, they cannot be used for adventure. The usual practice is to let one person die to block the Thorns Strike first, and then the MT will tank.

However, Gu Jiuji holds the epic Titan's Guardian, so there is no need to sacrifice others and waste combat power at all.

Seeing Gu Jiuji step into the 200-yard range of the King of Trees's alert, the twelve main vines of the King of Trees turned into sharp spears, directly stabbing at Gu Jiuji, even piercing the air in an instant. The speed was so fast that it was like twelve green lights flashing past.

Thorns Strike!

"So fast!" Gu Jiuji was also taken aback. Fortunately, Shi Feng had already reminded him to activate Titan's Will as soon as he stepped into the King of Trees's alert range.

As Titan's Will was activated, golden divine runes appeared on Gu Jiuji's body, and his eyes turned dark gold, causing the mental pressure exerted by the King of Trees to dissipate instantly. Because of the upgrade to epic, the Titan's Will skill was greatly strengthened, reducing damage taken by 90%, increasing attack speed by 100%, increasing movement speed by 30%, with an initial speed of 80% of the maximum speed, lasting for a full 20 seconds.

Seeing the twelve main vines falling, the Titan's Guardian in Gu Jiuji's hand instantly appeared in front of him, turning into afterimages. Although the shield was not large, it seemed to form a wall, completely enveloping Gu Jiuji, and directly blocking all the attacks of the main vines.

Boom boom boom…

A series of bombardments and explosions sounded, making everyone's scalp tingle with each strike.

"Not dead? No way!"

"He actually held on?"

As the smoke dissipated, Gu Jiuji, who had been bombarded, was still standing there, with nearly one-tenth of his health bar remaining.

"This destructive power is too strong!" Gu Jiuji looked at his health bar, which had less than six thousand health points left, and couldn't help but gasp, "Legendary monsters are indeed beings that cannot be provoked."

With 90% damage reduction, and blocking all attacks with the shield, more than 50,000 health points were consumed…

Without Titan's Will, even if he activated a life-saving skill, he would probably be instantly killed.

After the Thorns Strike ended, the main vines of the King of Trees lashed out again, the speed was so fast that only a shadow remained.

"Not good! Heal him quickly!" Feng Qianyu shouted quickly upon seeing this.

However, the speed of healing was ultimately a bit slow. The vine had already appeared on Gu Jiuji's side, but with the blessing of Titan's Will, Gu Jiuji reacted extremely quickly, directly tilting the shield to the side, and appeared on the side as if teleporting.

Bang!

A crisp sound echoed across the field, and Gu Jiuji couldn't help but retreat three steps to steady his body, his health points decreasing again.

-3208!

"He didn't die even with that?"

Everyone looked at the still-alive Gu Jiuji, their mouths wide open.

It was already impressive enough to withstand the ultimate move of a Legendary Boss without dying, but seeing that Gu Jiuji's normal damage blocked by the shield was only over three thousand, this defense was simply terrifying.

As the main vine fell, one healing spell after another landed on Gu Jiuji's body from the back row, instantly restoring Gu Jiuji's health points to half, far away from the danger zone.

"Alright! Everyone, take action!" Shi Feng immediately gave an order.

Immediately, six Tier 3 summoned beasts rushed up, and the assassins who had been lurking also rushed towards the King of Trees one by one, taking out Flame Potions and throwing them at the King of Trees when they were less than 40 yards away.

The moment the Flame Potions shattered on the King of Trees, they directly burst into flames, and the crimson flames began to spread. As one bottle of Flame Potion after another was used, the crimson flames spread throughout the King of Trees's body, turning it into a burning tree of flames.

"Aoooo!"

The King of Trees roared and screamed frantically in the flames, and its base attributes began to decline slowly, making Gu Jiuji, who had been defending all along, feel a lot more relaxed. The damage gradually changed from more than three thousand to more than two thousand, and he could easily block it even when facing the attacks of twelve main vines at the same time.

At this time, six Tier 3 summoned beasts and five MT teams each pulled on a main vine, greatly reducing Gu Jiuji's pressure.

However, the King of Trees, whose attributes had decreased due to anger, suddenly became faster in attack speed. Along with this, hundreds of branch vines constantly attacked the surroundings. Each strike had 35% of its power, easily suppressing Grand Lords of the same level.

In an instant, the Tier 3 summoned beasts and the MT team were in trouble.

Even if it was just a branch vine, a single strike on the MT's shield could bring seven to eight thousand points of damage to the MT. Distributed among them, each person had to face at least three or four branch vines, plus the damage from the main vine, they couldn't withstand even the life-saving skills, and their health points were rapidly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, everyone truly understood the horror of the King of Trees.

"As expected of a Legendary monster, relying solely on Flame Potions is still not enough." Shi Feng sighed helplessly, took out five thousand Magic Crystals, and put them into the Ring of Gospel to activate World Projection.

As the World Projection descended, the attributes of the King of Trees declined once again, which allowed the MT team that was tanking to breathe a sigh of relief and barely hold on.

"Everyone, attack with all your strength!"

Shi Feng immediately gave an order, and at the same time activated Phantom Kill, directly rushing towards the King of Trees.

Because of the effect of the Flame Potions, the King of Trees's defense was weakened. Arrows and magic bombarded the King of Trees's trunk, causing two to three thousand points of damage each time. Among them, the fire-type skills and magic had the best effect, with the damage usually being over five thousand points.

Among them, Zhao Yueru was the most fierce. Holding the Ice-Fire Fury, fire bombarded the King of Trees's body, causing twenty to thirty thousand points of damage each time.

"How high is her spell damage?" Qing Huang, who was beside her, looked at Zhao Yueru and didn't know what to say.

She was also an Elementalist, and her level was as high as Level 48. She also had an epic staff, an epic robe, and epic gauntlets. Using a Tier 1 fire-type magic attack would only deal 12,000 to 13,000 damage. Compared to Zhao Yueru, she was more than twice as bad.

As everyone continued to output in an orderly manner, the health points of the King of Trees began to decrease little by little.

90%……70%……50%……

However, as the King of Trees's health points continued to decrease, the number of branch vines began to gradually increase, and these branch vines not only attacked the MTs in the front row, but also occasionally suddenly emerged from the ground to attack the healers and ranged DPS.

Although the branch vines only had 35% of its power, it was a guaranteed kill against cloth armor professions with low health and low defense, causing team members to constantly be killed.

By the time the King of Trees's health points had only 20% left, the number of team members had sharply decreased from one thousand to over seven hundred.

"Damn intruders, all of you shall become my nourishment!" The King of Trees suddenly roared angrily.

The original twelve main vines suddenly turned into eighteen main vines, and each main vine could easily cause nearly 20,000 points of damage to an MT who had activated burst mode. The six additional main vines instantly killed six MTs, and even the rescue was too late.

Seeing that a squad of MTs was directly annihilated by the King of Trees, the aggro also became very chaotic.

"Attack with all your strength! Delay as much time as possible!" Shi Feng shouted repeatedly, "Use all the skills you can!"

Suddenly, a squad of MTs was annihilated, and the main vines reached eighteen, making it impossible to block them. The only thing they could do was to deplete its health.

At this time, Gu Jiuji, Dark Night Rhapsody, and Jing Wuming didn't dare to hold back any longer, directly activating burst skills. At the same time, Gu Jiuji also activated Titan's Heart, forming a layer of life shield that could absorb up to ten times his maximum health points in damage.

The three of them directly used Frost Moon Three Kills!

Immediately, three rays of light flashed, and even the King of Trees couldn't help but scream, losing more than two million health points in an instant, and his health bar dropped a lot.

Shi Feng also didn't hold back, directly activating Dragon Force and using one skill after another.

Feng Qianyu also unreservedly took out one Tier 3 magic scroll after another and bombarded it.

As Shi Feng and others frantically attacked, the King of Trees became even more violent, causing team members to be killed like crazy. Although Shi Feng wanted to summon direct guards, direct guards could not be summoned in the ruins, so he could only summon Tier 3 demons to help.

Seeing that the King of Trees's health points had only 2% left, the number of members in the thousand-man team was less than three hundred, of which 70% of the healers were dead, and only a dozen MTs remained.

"Fight! Everyone, retreat!" Shi Feng gritted his teeth, took out a Tier 4 super-large Destruction Scroll from his backpack, and unfolded it, "Die!"

As the magic scroll was unfolded, the entire space seemed to freeze at this moment, and the scarce magic power frantically condensed on the magic scroll, and a golden magic array formed at the feet of the King of Trees.

Boom!

A golden beam of light rose up, soaring straight into the sky, passing through the magic barrier in the sky.

All the branch vines and main vines of the King of Trees also disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the remaining 2% of health points instantly cleared, turning into a cloud of dust and dissipating, leaving only a desolate wasteland…
