326: Powerful, the Scarlet Witch enters the scene.
Yi Linglong watched the two part ways, a struggle visible in her eyes.
But soon, she became resolute.
Besides her identity as a Professional, she was also a soldier, and obeying orders was her duty.
And Chu Tian was not the kind of headstrong person; if he said these Professionals should retreat, he must have his reasons.
Thinking of this, Yi Linglong pressed a button.
Immediately, a piercing sound echoed across the battlefield, traveling far and wide.
A team of Professionals entangled with a Mountain Ridge Giant heard this sound and exchanged glances with their companions.
"Are they crazy? Retreat now?"
"I don't know, are they trying to shrink the defensive line?"
"Let's retreat! At a time like this, we must obey orders!"
These people were not all soldiers; many had joined the Shangjing Base later.
But in the end, they still decided to retreat towards the temporary camp.
However, as soon as they turned around, they saw Gu Qinghan flying towards them.
Moreover, they also saw another team that was retreating.
"Is he really crazy? Is this person here to die?"
"That side is also retreating. Can this person fight two BOSSes at once?"
"Should we help him? After all, he's alone... Can anyone truly do that?"
But before they could discuss a result, Gu Qinghan gave them the answer.
Someone truly could do it.
The Bear King's massive body descended from the sky, still empowered by Deaths Touch.
He charged directly towards the Mountain Ridge Giant in the other direction, while Gu Qinghan pushed a red sphere, over a meter in diameter, straight ahead.
The red sphere was very fast, rushing directly in front of the Mountain Ridge Giant, where it was struck by the opponent's club.
However, a cold smile appeared on Gu Qinghan's face, and he softly uttered one word:
"Explode!"
Red, blood-like energy suddenly surged from the Blood Bomb, blasting the Mountain Ridge Giant's upper body backward slightly.
At the same time, its weapon was nearly blasted away.
Gu Qinghan looked at the damage caused by the Blood Bomb and couldn't help but feel helpless about the Mountain Ridge Giant's defense.
After a brief moment of stiffness, this Mountain Ridge Giant immediately returned to normal and charged towards Gu Qinghan.
At this moment, Gu Qinghan directly pulled out the Embrace of the Netherworld and opened the blood-red gate.
This time, it wasn't the Filth Blood Warlock or the Undead Warrior who appeared first.
A graceful figure slowly emerged from it, her skin a delicate pink, like an alluring peach.
Gu Qinghan's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted in his mind: "Put on some clothes!"
The Scarlet Witch's steps faltered for a moment but quickly returned to normal.
At the same time, blood flowed over her body, transforming into a cool set of clothes that covered the parts that made it impossible to look away.
The reason Gu Qinghan had this fellow appear now was precisely for this control effect.
As the Witch made her entrance, the three Mountain Ridge Giants suddenly lowered their arms and swayed as they walked towards her.
Gu Qinghan wasn't in a hurry to attack the one in front of him; instead, he counted the seconds in his mind.
As the tenth second approached, this fellow finally showed signs of gradually waking up.
At this moment, the Scarlet Witch suddenly transformed into a bat and crashed into the fellow's body.
A second later, she appeared behind the opponent, holding a slow-moving, rock-like object in her hand.
Gu Qinghan flew to a position where he could see the entire battlefield, twitched his lips, and muttered to himself:
"Is this this guy's blood? Or is it something forcibly collected by that skill..."
No one answered his question, but Gu Qinghan didn't need to know.
Undead Warriors and Filth Blood Warlocks rushed out of the blood-colored gate again, but they headed towards the Bear King.
After all, the Scarlet Witch should be able to deal with a Mountain Ridge Giant one-on-one.
As a level 40 BOSS, the Mountain Ridge Giant's combat power was less than 200,000.
And the Scarlet Witch was Gu Qinghan's first BOSS-level subordinate.
[Scarlet Witch (BOSS): Level 41]
[Combat Power: 230,000]
[Description: A deadly rose blooming in blood, its beautiful appearance needs to be watered with the blood of enemies]
[Charm: The moment the Witch descends on the battlefield, she will charm all designated targets for 1-10 seconds, exiting the controlled state after being attacked. Cooldown: 60 minutes]
[Blood Harvest: Transforms into a bat state, passes through the enemy's body, and forcibly collects the enemy's blood. Detonating the blood will cause a large amount of damage. This skill has a separate cooldown for each target.]
[Blood Imprisonment: Casts a large net woven from blood, imprisoning the target for 3-5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute]
[Blood Protection: Uses the power of blood to protect the space around herself, shattering after taking a certain amount of damage. Cooldown: 30 minutes]
Her combat power was significantly higher, and the Scarlet Witch's fighting style was clearly agile, which happened to counter the Mountain Ridge Giant.
The Scarlet Witch continuously weaved around the Mountain Ridge Giant, unleashing streams of blood-red energy attacks on the massive creature.
Moreover, when she wasn't transforming into a bat, two bat wings even appeared on her back.
Gu Qinghan finally understood why this fellow was so frustrated; when she fought Gu Qinghan, she hadn't used her full strength at all.
Perhaps she felt that Gu Qinghan wasn't worth her full effort, or for some other reason.
But in any case, she paid the price for her underestimation.
At this moment, the Witch was like a resentful woman, venting her anger on the Mountain Ridge Giant.
Gu Qinghan originally wanted to help, but after realizing he wasn't needed, he didn't bother to intervene.
At this point, he also had a more comprehensive understanding of the rarity classification of monsters.
First, there were unmarked monsters, then Elite, Leader, and BOSS.
Unlike some games he had known before, BOSSes in the Game of Gods were not the rarest existence.
Above them, there were also Monarch and Emperor types; as for higher ones, he hadn't seen them yet.
As for the appearance of terms like Black Iron or Silver, it indicated that the monster would likely drop good items of that quality.
"By the way, it seems that the monsters appearing in the gate of calamity are at most BOSSes?"
Gu Qinghan thought thoughtfully, because the other two levels of existence he had obtained through special means.
One was the Crown Prince in the Insect Tide Secret Realm, and the other was the Ocean Overlord, strengthened by death abilities in the real world.
But Gu Qinghan felt that he would definitely encounter Monarch-level and Emperor-level existences again in the future.
And there would certainly be many of them.
The battle on the Scarlet Witch's side ended faster than Gu Qinghan expected; she had become level 41 because she became Gu Qinghan's subordinate.
But over countless years, she had experienced innumerable battles, and fueled by rage, every move was deadly.
After killing one Mountain Ridge Giant, this fellow still wasn't satisfied and said to Gu Qinghan:
"Let me kill the other one too, can I?"
Gu Qinghan first picked up the dropped treasure chest, then looked at the Witch and said with a smile:
"Please mind your tone when speaking. You are my subordinate now.
If you maintain this attitude, in future battles against strong enemies, I will only let you out to watch, understand?"
The Witch gritted her teeth, but her warlike instinct and her master-servant relationship with Gu Qinghan forced her to bow her head.
Seeing the Bear King fiercely battling the Mountain Ridge Giant, she finally made up her mind and lowered her proud head to Gu Qinghan:
"Alright, I understand."
"What am I?" Gu Qinghan pressed.
"Ma... Master..."
