Chapter 18 The Ferocious Giant Ape King!

The effects of the Wind Storm Field were still active.

Sword Dragon's health had returned to a healthy state.

Currently, Lin Chen and Zhu Niao were coordinating their attacks, and Sword Dragon could barely withstand the monsters, so the battle continued as it was.

However, there was a very important point to note here.

Lin Chen specifically instructed Liu Mengyao, "The Giant Ape Generals can only pull a maximum of three at a time. If we pull more, it might trigger their special skills… To be safe, let's just pull two at a time."

The Giant Ape Generals had a skill: Summon Giant Apes!

When the Giant Ape Generals received more than a certain amount of damage simultaneously, they would summon a batch of Giant Ape Warriors, a technique similar to the Monkey King pulling out hairs to create clones. Lin Chen even suspected that this setting was borrowed from the Monkey King in *Journey to the West*.

In short, it was extremely similar.

They had to be careful.

If it were the old Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao, they probably couldn't even withstand these small monsters. Now, they could kite a large group of them, especially with Zhu Niao as a turret, and Lin Chen equipped with top-tier gear.

They could definitely clear this dungeon.

The key was speed.

They had to finish the battle within fifty minutes.

They needed to solve it quickly, but they couldn't deal with too many Giant Ape Generals at once.

That was the troublesome part of this dungeon.

So, Lin Chen still focused on clearing the small monsters. As for the Giant Ape Generals, he would defeat them one by one later.

Killing eight thousand Giant Ape Warrior small monsters was also time-consuming. Although Zhu Niao's skill damage was amplified in the Wind Storm Field, and it could cooperate with Lin Chen to roast and kill a Giant Ape every five seconds on average, the actual battle was far from as simple as it sounded.

But what Lin Chen didn't expect was that the busiest person wasn't him, nor Zhu Niao and Sword Dragon, but rather Liu Mengyao, the priest.

In such a battle, her healing output was the guarantee against a team wipe.

So Liu Mengyao's skills never stopped, constantly keeping Lin Chen and both pets at full health!

Ten minutes later, the Wind Storm Field and Burning Heavens Scorched Earth skills both ended.

At this time, the ground was densely covered with Giant Ape corpses.

Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao both reached level 102.

Zhu Niao and Sword Dragon both reached level 107.

But there were still at least three thousand small monsters that hadn't been killed.

At this time, the Wind Storm Field entered its cooldown period. Without the Wind Storm Field's wide-range output and crowd control, killing these small monsters became inefficient.

It was a losing proposition.

Then…

"Next, let's clear out those elite monsters first."

Lin Chen knew that the elite monsters in the dungeon, the Giant Ape Generals, each guarded a territory. There were a total of 16 elite monsters. They had killed four earlier, leaving twelve. Among them, six Giant Ape Generals were now all alone.

So they would defeat them one by one!

This would also ensure that they wouldn't summon new small monsters.

So now it was single-target output.

This was Lin Chen's stage to shine.

First, he would have Sword Dragon attract the Giant Ape General's aggro, then start with Wind Blade, followed by the 'Wind Sand Swallow' homing skill to temporarily blind the Giant Ape General.

Then, he would continuously cast Wind Blade.

In five seconds, Lin Chen dealt 130,000 damage.

The Giant Ape General's health was dropping rapidly. Finally, it was directly taken away by Zhu Niao's Flame Barrage!

Very efficient.

Lin Chen and the others immediately rushed to the next point. Lin Chen even discovered that his Wind Blade could directly attract the Giant Ape General's aggro. This made things even easier. He lured out each Giant Ape General one by one and killed them individually.

After wasting about ten minutes running around the map, they had wiped out all the Giant Ape Generals.

Now all the Giant Ape Generals were gone.

At the same time, a huge roar came from the center of the map!

Giant Ape King!

Title: Fighting God!

Of course, according to the game dungeon's story, the title of Fighting God was self-proclaimed by the Giant Ape King.

"Which villain dares to help the Heavenly Palace to stop this Fighting God?"

The Giant Ape King roared.

At the same time, all the small monsters that were still alive ran towards the center of the map.

At this time, even if Lin Chen attacked those small monsters, he couldn't attract their aggro.

They seemed to have gone crazy, with only their king in their eyes, and no enemies.

"I didn't expect these Giant Apes to be such fanatic fans."

Lin Chen joked with Liu Mengyao, then had Zhu Niao cooperate with him to deal damage and take away a batch of Giant Ape Warriors. Then, he said to Liu Mengyao, "Alright, let's head over there now and clear the dungeon!"

"The Giant Ape King can also summon Giant Ape Warriors. Can Sword Dragon withstand it?"

Liu Mengyao was a little worried.

"We have to withstand it even if we can't."

Lin Chen didn't say much. They had come this far, were they going to retreat?

That wasn't Lin Chen's style.

The current situation was that, according to the normal dungeon process, they should first clear out the eight thousand small monsters, then defeat the Giant Ape Generals one by one, and finally fight the Giant Ape King alone. During this time, the Giant Ape King would summon three waves of Giant Ape Warriors, with 500 summoned at 70% health, 1,000 summoned at 50% health, and 2,000 summoned at 30% health.

In addition, the Giant Ape King had one million health!

Its attack power was 68,000!

Excluding defense, even the current Sword Dragon could only withstand four to five attacks from the Giant Ape King.

Indeed, as Liu Mengyao said, Sword Dragon probably couldn't withstand it.

After all, it was a pseudo-Transcendent, not a true Transcendent!

"If it really doesn't work, I can only go up, or let Zhu Niao go up, and hold on at critical moments!"

Lin Chen made up his mind.

Then, they rushed to the center of the map.

They started fighting directly as soon as they met.

Lin Chen was calculating the time. It was now thirty-five minutes into the dungeon, and the Wind Storm Field's cooldown had just finished. He immediately covered the entire central battlefield, and Zhu Niao's Burning Heavens Scorched Earth was used as well.

Then, Zhu Niao unleashed all kinds of output skills.

But its and Lin Chen's target was the same…

The Giant Ape King!

Boom boom boom!

Roar roar roar!

The sounds of the battlefield giants continued. There were the sounds of Lin Chen and Zhu Niao's skills, the Giant Ape King's roars, and Sword Dragon's constant roaring. It instantly turned into a complete mess.

Liu Mengyao was constantly changing her position, following behind Lin Chen to heal Sword Dragon. But Sword Dragon was really taking too much damage now. Its health was dropping by tens of thousands at a time, and Liu Mengyao couldn't keep up with the healing.

With great difficulty, they cleared one thousand of the three thousand small monsters. At this time, the Giant Ape King's health dropped to 70%, and it summoned another five hundred Giant Ape Warriors.

At this time, the Giant Ape King finally came within two yards of Zhu Niao and Sword Dragon.

It was originally 30 yards away from Zhu Niao and Sword Dragon, but because of the Wind Storm Field's control, and Lin Chen's manipulation of the wind, it had walked those thirty yards extremely slowly.

At the same time, Zhu Niao and Sword Dragon were also moving, so it was having a hard time chasing.

At this time, the Giant Ape King could be said to be extremely angry!

"Despicable and tiny humans, how dare you play with this Fighting God like this! Then let you see the power of the Fighting God!"

Roar!

The Giant Ape King's body, which was more than ten meters tall, was like a small mountain when it stood up.

It punched down at the ground.

The ground cracked, and the cracks extended all the way to Lin Chen's feet.

A damage number appeared above Lin Chen, Liu Mengyao, Zhu Niao, and Sword Dragon's heads…

-11000!

-8900!

-6500!

-4300!

Good heavens.

This one attack had taken away 6,500 of Lin Chen's health.

His health immediately entered an unhealthy state, and 40% of his health bar disappeared.
