Chapter 462: Mounted Eagle Ape King

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Nine Solitary Spears was instantly unhappy when he heard this, "We finally made our way up after so much trouble. Why are we going down now? Stop fooling around with us."

Fearless replied, "According to the pattern of the first stage, the BOSS controlling the monsters should be at the back end of the crowd of monsters. As long as the squad drags the crowd of monsters down and leave a few of us here, we should be able to locate the BOSS."

"What if the BOSS is among the crowd?" Thunderlord pondered for a moment before asking.

Fearless laughed, "The higher we stand, the clearer we can see!"

"F*ck…" Thunderlord Block was lost for words.

The Eagle Riding Demonic Apes were currently hovering above the crowd. As they looked up from the bottom, the flock of monsters were blocking the ray of light so all they could see were black patches. It was almost impossible to detect the BOSS from here.

If a group of them were to lure the flying monsters down, the flying monsters would be flying at a lower alt.i.tude than at the peak of the mountain. Without the flying monsters blocking the sunlight, the players on top could see everything clearly.

"Everything makes sense but who is going to stay here?" Thunderlord Block asked Fearless.

The people staying at the peak of the mountain must not just be able to locate the BOSS, they must be capable enough to deal with the BOSS too. They couldn"t afford to have fewer people dealing with the BOSS. However, if they wanted to lure the crowd of monsters down the mountain in the first place, they couldn"t afford to compromise on the numbers too. Therefore, choosing the people to stay at the peak became a problem.

If there were too few people left on top, they might not be able to kill the BOSS. If they left too many people on top, they might not be able to pull the aggro away. Therefore, the person staying at the peak had to a top expert among experts.

Naturally, Thunderlord Block could be considered as a top expert. However, after getting tricked by Fearless once, he instantly grew wary when Fearless suggested something like that.

Fearless continued, "We only need to leave three of us on top. An Archer to lure the BOSS, a Guardian to defend and a nimble expert who can do extreme damage."

Yang Nuo was the only Archer so there was no one else in for consideration. Ming Du could be the one to cause extreme damage but the word "nimble" just wouldn"t go well with him. The only other nimble person who could cause great damage was w.a.n.g Yu.

As for the choice of Guardians, Fearless looked at Crotch Lord and then Thunderlord Block before chuckling. "This time, Crotch Lord shall be up. Thunderlord cannot make it."

"Tsk!" Thunderlord Block replied, "This trick again? A top expert like myself will not fall for the same trick twice."

At the thought of this, Thunderlord Block told Fearless, "I shall be in charge of protecting you then."

Thunderlord Block was not dumb since he was able to go pro in the gaming industry. His intention was fairly obvious as he was trying to tell Fearless that he would follow him everywhere he went to prevent him from doing anything harmful to Thunderlord Block.

Fearless laughed, "Alright, remember to protect me well and don"t run away."

"Don"t worry, I will not leave more than an inch between you and me." Thunderlord Block replied in a serious and slightly malevolent tone.

"Old Bull, Crotch Lord and Sister Clear Snow shall stay here."

"En." w.a.n.g Yu nodded.

"We"re not having a Mage here?"

After Fearless decided on who to leave on top, Thunderlord Block suddenly asked out of curiosity.

Because w.a.n.g Yu was able to see through Thunderlord Block"s ultimate skill, Thunderlord Block might not be too happy with him. Regardless, Thunderlord Block wouldn"t doubt w.a.n.g Yu"s strength. However, he still felt that leaving a Pugilist behind considering this unique scenario was evidently not the most suited.

The target was a flying monster and also a BOSS. Even a mage might not be able to reach the BOSS in terms of the range of attack. No matter how impressive a Pugilist was, a Pugilist was only able to fight in close range battles. This was, of course, unless w.a.n.g Yu could violate the system settings.

Fearless replied, "A Mage is not nimble enough and will get killed by the BOSS easily."

"But a Pugilist…"

"Or should we leave you here instead?"

Just as Thunderlord Block wanted to continue arguing, Fearless" words made him stop.

"Alright, a Pugilist then. The worst that can happen is merely squad obliteration. Since I haven"t cleared the first stage, my completion level is still 0…" Thunderlord Block finally resigned to his fate.

After allocating the roles, w.a.n.g Yu and the two others stayed at the peak while everyone else followed Fearless" lead back down to the mountain waist.

The Eagle Riding Demonic Apes spotted movement as they followed after them promptly. At this moment, the three left on top looked over at the back of the flock of monsters. They saw a unique looking Eagle Riding Demonic Ape.

This Eagle Riding Demonic Ape was about twice the size of a normal one. The ma.s.sive eagle that it was riding also had two horns and it looked extremely bold and powerful. This should be their BOSS.

Mounted Eagle Ape King (LV40) (Gold BOSS) (Elite)

HP: 50000, 250000

MP: 5000, 25000

Skill: Boulder Toss, Swooping Arrest, Magical Ape Fist, Ape Stick Strike, Force Takeover

The Mounted Eagle Ape King hovered above the flock of flying monsters. If the trio didn"t stay behind at the peak of the mountain, they really wouldn"t be able to spot him. At this moment, the b*stard flapped its wings and was about to follow the flock of monsters. However, Yang Nuo took aim and a dizzy arrow struck the Mounted Eagle Ape King on the body.

Yang Nuo"s range of attack and accuracy didn"t magically increase. It was because the three of them were only less than tens of metres away from the BOSS. Moreover, the target was a ma.s.sive one and it was moving at a rapid speed while hovering on top. With such conditions, Yang Nuo could be considered blind if she missed her shot.

"Eee!" The eagle carrying the Ape King let out a screeching cry as the wings flapped and deflected Yang Nuo"s arrow… As for the BOSS, it didn"t even pause for a single moment, let alone dizzy.

"F*ck!" w.a.n.g Yu and the two others had their mouth wide opened in awe.

Against a primate and also a beast-type monster who could defy control and had the BOSS halo, Yang Nuo"s amateur skill was utterly useless.

"Sister Clear Snow, your shot has absolutely no effect at all…" Crotch Lord looked at the BOSS in the sky and was flabbergasted.

Just as Crotch Lord spoke, the Mounted Eagle Ape King turned around immediately and had their aggro locked on w.a.n.g Yu and co.

This enormous and ugly looking monster gave the three of them chills.

w.a.n.g Yu replied, "It wasn"t completely useless. At least we managed to lure the aggro to us…"

Yang Nuo, as a Demon Hunter, was extremely effective against dark attributed monsters. Even though Yang Nuo"s shot wasn"t able to control the BOSS, the damage dealt wasn"t low and this arrow managed to draw the Mounted Eagle Ape King"s aggro. This was the main purpose anyway.

"Bang!" The Mounted Eagle Ape King"s sandbag sized fist smashed against the ma.s.sive eagle"s head.

"Eee!" The ma.s.sive eagle let out a devastating cry as it charged right towards the three of them on the ground.

"Oh G.o.d!"

Crotch Lord raised his s.h.i.+eld to taunt the incoming Mounted Eagle Ape King.

However, this Mounted Eagle Ape King was an elite monster who wouldn"t be taunted…

The Mounted Eagle Ape King completely disregarded Crotch Lord as it charged right towards Yang Nuo, who wasn"t very far away from Crotch Lord.

"Aiya, please don"t come this way…"

Yang Nuo was thoroughly frightened as she cried out embarra.s.sed and at a complete loss.
