Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 1284 A Duel with an Archaic Species
The evolved Silvermoon Demon Rat was more than twice the size it was before, a good six meters tall, like a two-story building. The aura it exuded was also completely different; the fierce energy made even breathing feel heavy.
The displayed data had also undergone earth-shattering changes.
Silvermoon Rat King (Weakened), Primordial Species, Great Lord, Level 64, HP 90,000,000.
Compared to before, it was like comparing heaven and earth.
Just as Shi Feng was marveling at the change in the Silvermoon Rat King's attributes, the Silvermoon Rat King also glanced at Shi Feng and suddenly disappeared from its spot.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Shi Feng. Its four sharp claws descended simultaneously, forming a sky full of claw shadows, impossible to avoid, the speed as fast as a shooting star.
"So fast!"
Shi Feng believed he was already fast enough, but he was still much slower than the Silvermoon Rat King, not to mention the Silvermoon Rat King had four arms, even if he was a bit faster, he couldn't withstand it.
Two fists couldn't beat four hands, especially when Shi Feng's two fists were no match for the opponent's four hands.
Sword Defense!
Bang bang bang...
More than a dozen silver-white streams of light flashed past, followed by the sound of the protective barrier shattering.
With just one round of attacks, all the defense times of Sword Defense were used up.
After one round of attacks, the Silvermoon Rat King launched another offensive. This time it was different from the last time. All four claws were flashing with scorching black mist, looking illusory, like whips directly lashing towards Shi Feng. The four long whips directly sealed off all of Shi Feng's retreat routes, as if it were a whip master, making it impossible to avoid.
"It's clearly a forced evolution, how come the intelligence has also increased so much?" Shi Feng's face turned grim as he watched the incoming whip shadows.
Whenever monsters were forcibly evolved, not only would they suffer backlash, but they would also be in a weakened state for a long time. All aspects of their attributes would drop significantly, and their intelligence would also be greatly affected. Only after the weakened state was lifted would they return to their peak state.
Although Shi Feng had only briefly exchanged blows, he could see that the Silvermoon Demon Rat in front of him already possessed the strength of the fourth floor of the Trial Tower. It was hard to imagine what level the Silvermoon Demon Rat's combat skills would reach if it evolved normally.
Fifth floor of the Trial Tower? Or the sixth floor?
Such high attributes, coupled with superb combat skills, were a nightmare just to think about.
Not to mention a hundred-man Tier 2 team of Level 60s, even a master team composed entirely of high-level players would probably not be a match. It was like the evolved Tier 5 Primordial Species back then; because that Tier 5 Primordial Species had no weaknesses at all, they could only confront it head-on, and it was finally wiped out by a Tier 6 God-ranked player leading the team.
Faced with the Silvermoon Rat King's skill attack, Shi Feng used Shadow Steps without saying a word.
Instantly, ten phantoms appeared around him.
The moment the whip shadows fell, Shi Feng directly switched places with a phantom in the distance.
The four whip shadows missed and smashed into the ground. Suddenly, the ground was divided into several pieces, like a sliced cake. The depth alone was five or six yards, extending all the way to fifty yards away. The power of the attack was so strong and the range so wide that even Shi Feng was amazed.
After one round of whip shadows ended, Shi Feng once again replaced a clone, directly appearing beside the Silvermoon Rat King, and the Abyss Blade in his hand swung fiercely.
Chop!
-16748!
After one strike, the Silvermoon Rat King also reacted. With a turn and a strike, two whip shadows fell towards Shi Feng. Shi Feng once again replaced a clone to the other side, and then used Wind Lightning Flash, four cyan arcs of electricity pierced through the Silvermoon Rat King's body.
-7950!
-10748!
-29601!
-20007!
Although the Silvermoon Rat King's defense hadn't increased much, with 90 million HP, this bit of damage was nothing. The only thing to be thankful for was that in its weakened state, it couldn't recover HP during combat; once its HP was gone, it was gone.
With ten phantoms alternating in battle, even the Silvermoon Rat King was suppressed by Shi Feng for a time.
The Shadow Lion and two Tier 2 demons also arrived to join the battle at this time.
Faced with the attacking Shadow Lion and the two Tier 2 demons, the Silvermoon Rat King directly lashed out with four shadow whips, two to deal with the Tier 3 Shadow Lion, and two to deal with the two Tier 2 demons. The attacks were very precise, forcing the attacking Shadow Lion and demons to defend themselves.
However, the attack speed of the shadow whips was very fast. Before Shi Feng could control them to dodge, they were hit by the four shadow whips. The Shadow Lion was knocked back more than ten yards on the spot, with two damage numbers of over 170,000 appearing above its head, while the Tier 2 demons instantly lost more than 300,000 HP and were sent flying more than thirty yards...
"What strong power!" Shi Feng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this scene.
The power was comparable to that of a high-level Great Lord of the same level.
Fortunately, he didn't directly confront it head-on, but conservatively used his life-saving skills to resist. Otherwise, if the four shadow whips landed and he was hit, he would probably be instantly killed on the spot. Even if he blocked them, he would definitely lose a lot of HP.
After Shi Feng understood the Silvermoon Rat King's power, he directly changed his attack pattern.
He would personally control the Shadow Lion, and the two Tier 2 demons would assist as DPS.
As Tier 3 monsters as well, the Shadow Lion's strength might not be as good as the Silvermoon Rat King's, but their speeds were similar. With his level of control, it wouldn't be difficult for him to have the Shadow Lion withstand the Silvermoon Rat King's attacks. After all, the Silvermoon Rat King was only at the level of the fourth floor of the Trial Tower.
For ordinary players and elite players, this combat level was very high, but for him, it wasn't even considered an entry level. Even if he was distracted by controlling the monster's battle, it wouldn't be as easy as controlling his own body, but he could still reach the level of Half-Step Refinement, leaving the Silvermoon Rat King several streets behind.
The Shadow Lion, completely controlled by Shi Feng, easily dodged three of the four shadow whips from the Silvermoon Rat King. One claw slammed into the last shadow whip that couldn't be avoided, while the other claw used the Tier 2 skill Shadow Claw, landing directly on the Silvermoon Rat King's face, leaving four bloody marks and slamming the Silvermoon Rat King's head against the ground.
-438749!
The Shadow Lion's attack directly stunned the Silvermoon Rat King, its gaze at the Shadow Lion filled with surprise.
The stupid lion that had been swatted away by it before had actually hit it with such agility.
Immediately, the Silvermoon Rat King directly threw Shi Feng to the back of its mind and began to focus all its attention on dealing with the Shadow Lion, continuously bombarding the Shadow Lion with shadow whips, one round after another. Even Shi Feng couldn't do anything about it and could only take defensive measures.
Although the Shadow Lion couldn't hurt the Silvermoon Rat King anymore, Shi Feng and the two Tier 2 demons could attack the Silvermoon Rat King's blind spots from the side, taking away tens of thousands of HP from time to time.
A war of attrition unfolded for a time.
The Silvermoon Rat King's HP was decreasing bit by bit, losing only 1% after a long time. The Shadow Lion's side was about the same, so they just consumed each other like this.
"It's a good thing it's in a weakened state." Shi Feng roughly calculated the consumption of both sides and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If they continued to fight like this, he would definitely be able to kill the Silvermoon Rat King before the Shadow Lion died. If it wasn't in a weakened state, even if he kept fighting, he wouldn't be able to exhaust the Silvermoon Rat King to death, because combat recovery was the monsters' greatest reliance.
Because of this, when dealing with Bosses in God's Domain, the key was not that many high-level players couldn't beat the Bosses individually, but that they couldn't exhaust the Bosses to death.
The Silvermoon Rat King, without combat recovery, had its HP dropping bit by bit.
95%...90%...80%...
After fighting for nearly an hour, the Silvermoon Rat King's HP finally dropped to 10%, while the Shadow Lion still had more than 60% left. During this time, Shi Feng always used Life Bloom on the Shadow Lion. The Silvermoon Rat King had no temper at all and could only watch helplessly as the Shadow Lion recovered to full HP.
"Roar!"
The Silvermoon Rat King was finally enraged at this time. With a roar, black magic arrays appeared on its four claws, beginning to condense violent magic power, and it slammed down on the ground beneath its feet.
Instantly, black rays of light burst out from the ground within a radius of 100 yards.
A Tier 2 Battle Axe Demon was accidentally attacked, instantly losing more than 600,000 HP, and these black rays of light were becoming more and more numerous as time passed.
After three seconds passed, Shi Feng no longer had any energy to dodge these black rays of light emerging from the ground, and had no way to use Sword Defense and Absolute Defense to resist.
As these black rays of light ended, the HP of the two Tier 2 demons was less than 30%, while the larger Shadow Lion had only 40% HP left...
"As expected of a Primordial Species, it's really not that easy to deal with. Even in a weakened state, this skill is enough to wipe out a master team several times over." Shi Feng looked at the over-exhausted Silvermoon Rat King and was secretly shocked.
If the Silvermoon Rat King was in its prime, he would definitely be dead, there was no other possibility, because he had not found the Silvermoon Rat King's weakness so far. To win, he could only confront it head-on. To defeat the Silvermoon Rat King in its prime, unless there were several Tier 3 experts to tank or use several Tier 3 summoning scrolls, and then use intermediate magic arrays to suppress it, there was no other way.
At this time, the over-exhausted Silvermoon Rat King was motionless. Shi Feng was not polite and directly activated Dragon Force, using Phantom Kill and Nine Dragons Slash to attack frantically with the Shadow Lion.
If he waited for the Silvermoon Rat King to recover and come again, he would really be dead.
9%...
7%...
5%...
1%...
Seeing that its HP was only a little more than ten thousand points, Shi Feng used Divine Grace and Flame Burst.
Streams of scorching fire slowly devoured the last ten thousand points of the Silvermoon Rat King's HP, and it crashed to the ground, motionless.
"Finally succeeded!" Shi Feng took a deep breath and couldn't help but sit down on the ground to rest.
He had been fully controlling the Shadow Lion while assisting in the battle from the side, which was really exhausting. If he continued to fight, Shi Feng suspected that he would be exhausted to death by the Silvermoon Rat King first.
Then, Shi Feng found that his motionless experience points had moved. He hadn't gotten any experience points for killing so many Silvermoon Demon Rats before, but now he was actually getting them, and the experience points were soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye.
10%...20%...30%...
It kept soaring until it stopped at 50 levels 69%, the experience points given were beyond imagination.
And the death of the Silvermoon Rat King also dropped a pile of glittering gold items.
