168: The second boss appears!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

As a large number of Fireballs fell, the Dense Forest in front erupted with an astonishing roar.

The scorching flames completely enveloped the massive body of the Curse Worm.

"Aow!"

Although Ye Xiao's current damage was only 20% of its original, the power of his Fireball, having evolved multiple times, still far exceeded that of Professionals at this stage.

Each individual Fireball could still deal 18,000 damage to the Curse Worm.

In an instant, the Curse Worm, hit by the Fireball, twisted its enormous body wildly.

The health bar above its head instantly bottomed out.

However, the Curse Worm did not die from this.

In almost the blink of an eye, the Curse Worm's health bar was fully restored.

This miraculous sight somewhat surprised Ye Xiao.

"What kind of ability is this? The description doesn't seem to mention such a skill?"

He murmured softly, but Ye Xiao was not flustered.

Absolute Evasion still had over fifty seconds remaining; he didn't believe this Curse Worm could infinitely regenerate its health.

He waved his hands again, and hundreds more Fireballs rained down from the sky.

Having learned its lesson once, the Curse Worm was smarter this time; as soon as Ye Xiao waved his hands, its massive body retreated rapidly with incredibly strange speed.

In an instant, countless Fireballs landed on the spot where it had been.

Ye Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he saw this scene.

Another Fireball.

Immediately after, he activated Void Phantom, and his entire figure instantly entered the void, surrounding it.

At the same time, the Curse Worm, relying on its agile movements, continuously dodged Ye Xiao's Fireballs.

However, just as the Fireballs disappeared, Ye Xiao appeared without warning beside the Curse Worm.

Before the latter could react, Ye Xiao had already struck the Curse Worm with his staff.

"Bang!"

The moment the staff touched the Curse Worm's body, a not-so-intense sound was heard.

In an instant, the Curse Worm's massive body trembled violently, then it seemed to be frozen in place, motionless.

At this moment, Zhou Wan and the other two, who had just barely recovered from the shock of Ye Xiao's sky-filling Fireballs, saw the Curse Worm inexplicably stop moving.

But before the three could question it, suddenly, the Curse Worm's massive body exploded.

Countless disgusting chunks of flesh scattered, and black blood rained down from the sky.

This explosive scene once again left Zhou Wan and the other two stunned.

From the appearance of the Curse Worm to its death, less than 20 seconds had passed.

The three of them had only just managed to check the Curse Worm's attributes, confirming that it was the boss of this secret realm.

But before they could figure out how to escape the boss's pursuit...

The boss just died like that?

It died without any warning.

It clearly possessed a staggering 2 million health points and 7,000 defense.

Yet, it was so easily smashed to pieces by Ye Xiao's single strike.

At this moment, even the usually calm Zhou Wan couldn't help but doubt if she was dreaming.

After all, that Curse Worm was a Level 120 boss.

Since when was a boss even weaker than an ordinary monster?

Her mind was in a turmoil.

But the next moment, Zhou Wan suddenly remembered the vast expanse of Fireballs from earlier.

That's right!

If it was him, everything seemed to make sense.

Indeed, just after Ye Xiao unleashed his Fireball, Zhou Wan seemed to have guessed the identity of the young man before her.

Night Shadow!

The newcomer who rose powerfully this year, who single-handedly killed dozens of prodigies of the same level.

He was also the one who, in a fit of rage, first slew five Level 180 Professionals, and then, in one go, massacred thousands of Level 90 Professionals.

It was said that not long ago, even when facing the 13 Eight-Turn powerhouses dispatched by the Zhou Family, he was still able to remain completely unharmed, and even under the very noses of these powerhouses, he slaughtered the entire legion of a city before calmly departing.

The Zhou Family naturally paid close attention to such a promising newcomer.

And Zhou Wan, having been raised by Zhou Yi since childhood, naturally knew some information about Night Shadow immediately.

Therefore, the moment Ye Xiao suddenly unleashed his signature sea of Fireballs, Zhou Wan also understood Ye Xiao's identity at once.

Consequently, after realizing this, Zhou Wan felt that, compared to the incredible feats mentioned above, now, merely using 20% of his power to instantly kill a Level 120 boss, seemed less surprising.

In fact, Zhou Wan even had a feeling of 'of course' within her heart.

No wonder, no wonder her grand-uncle cared so much about this person's opinion, even going so far as to break the rules and kill Yang Jian for no reason.

If the other party was Night Shadow, then it made sense.

At this moment, Zhou Wan suddenly remembered that Yang Jian had earlier wanted Night Shadow to kneel and apologize to him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that Yang Jian had indeed courted his own death.

However, at this time, Ye Xiao was not paying attention to the different emotional changes of Zhou Wan and the other two.

After dealing with the Curse Worm, Ye Xiao's brows unconsciously furrowed.

The reason was simple: the Curse Worm did not provide him with any experience after its death.

There was only one reason why this would happen.

That was, the Curse Worm had not truly died.

But its body had clearly been blasted into smithereens by him; he didn't understand why it wasn't dead yet.

Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation came from behind him.

Ye Xiao turned around and immediately saw a monster identical to the Curse Worm emerge from somewhere unknown.

As soon as this creature, identical to the Curse Worm, appeared, it once again charged towards Ye Xiao.

The next moment, the same attack move.

Touch of the Void!

However, Ye Xiao, who was still in Absolute Stillness, was not afraid in the slightest.

After easily dodging again, Fireball reappeared.

However, this newly appeared Curse Worm clearly understood Ye Xiao's Fireball very well.

Its enormous body bounced off the ground, then leaped into mid-air, escaping the attack range of the Fireball.

At the same time, due to its extreme speed, Ye Xiao was temporarily unable to get close enough to use a normal attack on it.

Then, Ye Xiao continuously released Fireballs, while the Curse Worm frantically dodged.

After some entanglement, unknowingly.

The Curse Worm had already appeared in front of the pile of corpses that Ye Xiao had previously shattered.

At this moment, Ye Xiao's round of Fireballs had just finished.

The Curse Worm immediately seized the opportunity, and dozens of tentacles surged out wildly.

Then, under Ye Xiao's surprised gaze, it grabbed all the scattered body fragments and blood clots towards itself.

Subsequently, Ye Xiao saw that the Curse Worm actually began to eat these blood clots.

Immediately after, the Curse Worm's massive body eerily emitted a dazzling red light.

Throughout the entire process, the Curse Worm's speed was so fast that Ye Xiao had no time to stop it.

This strange scene caused a brief silence throughout the Forest of Curses.
