The chain-hammer zombie slowly retracted its chain, letting out a furious roar before spinning its hammer violently again;

At this point, the chain-hammer zombie was over ten meters away from the wall, out of Song Jian’s attack range;

“Kiddo, you think just because you’re standing further away means 1 can’t attack you? You’re naive, too naive!” Song Jian scoffed, controlling three catapult towers and two arrow towers that were aiming directly at the chain-hammer zombie, and began to focus fire;

Bang bang bang-

Three stones hit the chain-hammer zombie almost simultaneously, and three damages over a hundred floated up above its head, knocking it down instantly.

Upon hitting the chain-hammer zombie, the three stones shattered into hundreds of fragments, scattering all around and downing a large swatch of zombies;

The chain-hammer zombie had a total of 390 vitality points, and after being hit by the three stones, it was already critically wounded;

Swish swish-

Before it could crawl back up, two wooden arrows had already pierced its body;

-39

-38

The chain-hammer zombie let out a helpless roar, just as it managed to stand up straight, two points of damage floated up from its head with its body once again crashing onto the ground, this time, it couldn’t stand backup anymore;

The level-five elite boss got one-shotted, leaving all the watching players’ jaws dropped. At the current stage, encountering such a boss, players would usually take a detour and not dare to provoke it;

“Equipment! Blue quality equipment!” Everyone’s eyes lit up;

The moment the chain-hammer zombie fell, an equipment emitting blue light burst out from its body, instantly catching everyone’s eyes;

Players who owned a piece of white-quality equipment at this point could already saunter around showing off, let alone a blue-quality one!

For a moment, public sentiment was running high, with plenty of people itching to go and compete for the equipment;

“Do you have looting qualifications?”

Looking at a few people who want to rush to loot the equipment, Wang Qi asked coldly, causing the people to be taken aback, and then show regret in their eyes;

These people had only watched and did not partake in attack, resulting in no inflicted damage on the boss, thus naturally, they did not possess the qualification to loot the dropped items;

“Next time there’s a boss, I’ll strike it a couple of times first, so I can at least inflict some damage and gain looting qualifications!” one person said with regret. The chain-hammer zombie wasn’t far away from him, so he had the opportunity to attack the boss;

“Even if we can’t have it, that guy can’t either. He won’t possibly need to charge into the crowd of monsters to loot the equipment, right? When the protection time is over, then it’s everybody for themselves…” One person sneered with his arms crossed;

No sooner had the words been spoken than five or six long roots pierced through the bodies of dozens of monsters and reached out for the blue equipment. Before anyone else could react, several roots had already bundled up the boss’s corpse and the blue-quality equipment, swiftly retracting back inside the wall;

“Oh my god, it can even automatically collect equipment…” For a moment, everyone was speechless, helplessly watching all the monster-dropped items, one by one, being bundled up and dragged back into the manor by the roots;

Watching the roots working like tentacles, dragging items one after another, Song Jian had a sense of unease;

“Is that guy gonna hog them all and leave none for me?” Song Jian wondered to himself;

“Alex, how about giving me half of the items you drew?” Song Jian probed;

“Why should I share with you the items I got with my efforts?” Alex insisted. Experience points were shared equally because the system mandated it. But he wanted the equipment too? No way!

You utter bastard! Your argument seems valid and I have no idea how to refute it!

Song Jian was at a loss for words. He could only watch in dismay as items emanating all sorts of light, one after another, were dragged into the earth by the tentacle-like roots while Alex’s level surprisingly advanced once again from level three to level four. Such speed was faster than most players’ levelling up speed;

“Forget it, forget it. Let’s carry on it’s my own self-nurtured tree anyway. 1 will stay hopeful even in tears. Luckily, all the meat sticks in my own pot, it’s alright, it’s alright…” Song Jian tried to console himself;

Seeing that Song Jian had nothing to say, the corner of Alex’s lifeless mouth curled up, and he appeared to be rather crazed.

Not only the roots but the tree branches also began to grow wildly, creeping over the wall like ivy, stretching slowly towards the crowd of monsters;

Before long, the front wall had extended outwards by over ten meters, all of which were Alex’s roots and branches, covering a thick layer where the area had turned into a bottomless pit. No matter how many monsters stepped in, they would disappear in an instant;

Song Jian’s experience points began to rocket up. With dozens of monsters dying per second, despite each one only yielding him dozens of experience points, but cumulatively, it was still a considerable amount. His experience bar was about to be filled again, having just levelled up to level eight;

“Although there are no item drops, at least the experience points increase rapidly.” Song Jian laughed;

Just then, with a “bang”, a giant fireball fell from the sky and hit hard on the tree roots and branches that Alex had spread out, instantly igniting a large area;

Alex’s vitality point bar dropped by a small section;

Looking up, Song Jian saw in the distance on the seventh floor of a high-rise building, a person-shaped monster, skinny in appearance, grabbing onto the edge of a window with one hand, its other hand constantly condensing fire element;

This monster looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, only around one and a half meters tall and appeared malnourished. It was so emaciated, resembling skin and bones, a stark sight with protruding ribs and limbs like dried wood.

What was amazing was that this monster had an abnormally large head, at least twice the size of a regular adult, and its right hand was grotesque, with red skin, a full hand of wrinkles, and four fingers shimmering metallically, just like four sharp blades;

[Claw Zombie – Wang Dachui], Level 10 Elite Boss, Vitality 800/1600, Traits: Ultra Flame, Ultra Speed

“This is a boss drawn by the manor, a level 10 elite…” Upon looking at the figure of the claw zombie in the distance, Song Jian felt a chill in the heart.

Bosses that are one kilometer away are about to make their appearances in succession. It should be noted that within one kilometer, the level of the bosses does not exceed five. But outside one kilometer, the highest boss level can reach 10, which, even with their abilities halved during the day, Song Jian alone can’t handle it;

“Another boss with long-range attacks, and it seems to counter Alex too…” Song Jian squinted his eyes and sized up claw zombie;

It was out of the range of the arrow tower, but still within the range of the catapult;

Song Jian controlled the catapult and aimed a fierce attack at claw zombie, but the moment the three stone balls approached it, claw zombie leapt sideways with a lightning speed.

The three stone balls landed harshly on the spot where claw zombie just was, instantly creating a large hole in the wall;

The claw zombie revealed a mocking look in its eyes, turned around, and showed its butt cheekily to Song Jian, all the while spanking it;
