15: Chapter 15: A Show of Skill That Shocks the Rescue Team

"Are you kidding me? By the time you finish charging for a minute, we'll all be dead!"

In this life-or-death moment, Mao Renfeng's tone was sharp and mean, even when facing two beauties.

Dongfang Xue's beautiful eyes turned cold. "I was only explaining the method to break through the Black Widow Queen's defense; I didn't say we had to do it!"

"Hmph!"

Mao Renfeng gave a cold snort and fell silent.

But just then...

The Black Widow Queen lost her patience and launched a tentative attack, spitting a massive poisonous spider web at the team.

Everyone failed to react in time and sat there waiting for death as despair flooded their hearts.

At the critical moment...

Li Mumu charged toward the spider web with the cloud-piercing staff in hand.

"First Class Skill: Demon Subduing Staff Technique!"

Li Mumu used the tearing effect of the Demon Subduing Staff Technique to shred the spider web to pieces.

Immediately after...

Li Mumu took a javelin-throwing stance and hurled the cloud-piercing staff, crackling with red lightning, at the Black Widow Queen, causing a brief paralysis effect.

At the same time...

Screee...

Seeing their queen under attack, the ordinary Black Widows became bloodthirsty and frenzied, leaping toward the team.

"Dongfang Xue!!!"

Li Mumu shouted.

"I'll buy time for the charge; everyone else, protect her!"

Boom!

After using his shield to block and slash back a Black Widow, Mao Renfeng roared, "Li Mumu, get back here! Angering the Black Widow Queen will only lead to a more miserable death. Are you trying to get us killed?!"

Li Mumu acted as if he hadn't heard him and continued forward. He switched to his human-beast form, and a title appeared above his head: i am the most handsome guy in huaxia.

Taunt.

A blatant taunt.

Handsome.

The kind of handsome that leaves one without friends.

In the next moment...

The dense swarm of ordinary Black Widows turned around in unison and surged toward Li Mumu, submerging him like a flood.

Almost simultaneously...

The paralysis effect on the Black Widow Queen wore off, and she opened her massive bloody maw to bite down on Li Mumu.

"No!"

Liu Lin cried out in alarm.

Just then...

From beneath the swarm of Black Widows, Li Mumu let out a massive roar.

"Orc True Form!!!"

Li Mumu switched to his beast form.

A massive Golden-Haired Giant Ape rose up, beating its chest with its hands and roaring at the Black Widow Queen.

From the outside, the Golden-Haired Giant Ape's eyes had lost their pupils and turned blood-red; its face was hideous and terrifying, like a demon god.

In the next moment...

The Golden-Haired Giant Ape slammed its fists into the ground, causing the earth to shake, before charging at the Black Widow Queen to engage her in combat.

The team was utterly shocked by this scene, standing frozen with their mouths agape.

Is he even fucking human?!

How can he be such a freak?!

Everyone is clearly at the low Bronze rank, so why is the gap so massive?!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed what was happening.

Among them, Dongfang Xue was the first to snap back to her senses. Knowing the best opportunity had arrived, she commanded, "Liu Lin, put everything into healing Li Mumu."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Liu Lin exerted every ounce of strength, shouting frantically, "First Class Skill: Holy Healing Technique!"

"First Class Skill: Holy Healing Technique!"

"First..."

Dongfang Xue nodded. "Sister Baoer, Mao Renfeng, let's kill the minions first. Once we reach level four, we'll go all out against the Boss!"

"Got it!"

"First Class Skill: Firebird Strike!"

"First Class Skill: Savage Charge!"

"First Class Skill: Arrow Shadow!"

The three of them worked together to kill the ordinary Black Widows. In less than five minutes, everyone except Li Mumu had reached level four.

With his beast form and Liu Lin's frantic healing, Li Mumu managed to maintain a 40-60 split against the Black Widow Queen and her swarm.

Li Mumu, four!

Black Widow, six!

"Alright, I'll start charging my attack now. Sister Baoer and Mao Renfeng, keep attacking the minions to relieve the pressure on Li Mumu."

Without hesitation, Dongfang Xue drew her bowstring while giving orders. An ice arrow formed in her hand, continuously absorbing spiritual energy from the air and becoming more refined.

A minute later, the charge was successful. The ice arrow in Dongfang Xue's hand became crystal clear and pulsed with immense energy.

Swish!

The ice arrow shot out, flying accurately toward the red spots on the Black Widow Queen. As it drew near...

"First Talent Skill: Arrow Shadow!"

One arrow split into twelve.

Bang, bang, bang...

Screee!!!

The Black Widow Queen screamed in pain, her body wobbling unsteadily.

Seeing the opportunity, the Golden-Haired Giant Ape clenched its fists and slammed them toward the Black Widow Queen's massive head.

"I'll kill you, you motherfucker!"

Thud!

A loud boom.

The Black Widow Queen lost her balance entirely and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.

"Well done!!!"

In the darkness nearby, the guards who had just arrived let out a collective exclamation of praise.

Originally, their orders were to rescue Li Mumu's Team and immediately evacuate the Spider Cave dungeon.

But now, seeing that Li Mumu's Team had a chance to kill the Boss Black Widow Queen, the guards looked at each other and decided not to intervene for the time being.

Because helping would mean Li Mumu's Team would lose their qualification for the assessment, and their points would stop being calculated.

However, even though they weren't helping, the shock in the guards' hearts was not diminished in the slightest.

"Hiss~~ Seriously, isn't this beastman kid's strength a bit ridiculous?!"

"Yeah, it's been years since I've seen such a powerful newcomer."

"The last newcomer this badass was the Professional Textbook, Great God Ye, right?"

"Not quite. Last year's Dragon Knight, Ji Lingchen, was also super badass, okay?"

"Tch~ It's not like I haven't seen him. Ji Lingchen was badass, sure, but Li Mumu is clearly even more badass, alright?!"

"Sigh, it seems my wife was right. I'm really getting old; I can't keep up with today's youth."

"Captain, I'm afraid you've misunderstood what my sister-in-law meant."

"Hahaha..."

"Go away! Your sister-in-law is a decent person, not like you with your filthy thoughts."

"Captain, look! There's another change on the field."

Following a guard's reminder, everyone looked toward the field. They saw the ordinary Black Widow spiders undergoing a mutation; their eerie green eyes turned a fanatical crimson, and their bodies began to shake uncontrollably.

Not good, the Boss is going berserk!!!

Just as Dongfang Xue fired the tenth arrow of her charged attack, the Black Widow Queen suddenly went berserk without warning.

Boss Berserk: A unique skill of Boss-level demonic beasts. In the berserk state, the beast's four-dimensional attributes are significantly increased, and its minions are influenced to enter a fanatical state as well.

Note: Killing a Boss in a berserk state increases the chance of dropping high-quality items.

"Berserk?"

Liu Lin's face fell as he said miserably, "Why are we so unlucky? We even ran into a Boss going berserk."

"Impossible!" Wang Baobao's expression was just as grim as she shared her thoughts. "The condition for a Boss to go berserk is that they must be farmed without taking damage, but Xiao Mumu was covered in wounds earlier. It doesn't meet the conditions for berserk at all!"

Dongfang Xue frowned slightly. "That's not entirely correct. There are two other conditions that can trigger a Boss Berserk."

"One: receiving extreme humiliation when at low health."

"Two: the Boss is female and is currently pregnant!"
