169: The boss is getting stronger

In a blink, Ye Xiao scanned the Curse Worm's information.

---

[Curse Worm (Boss)]

[Level: 120]

[Attack: 15,000]

[Defense: 8,000]

[Skills: Curse's Sorrow, Weakening Touch, Dark Surge, Dark Corrosion]

---

This sight made Ye Xiao's pupils constrict slightly.

Its health had increased by a million, and its attack and defense had both increased by 1,000 points.

What was going on?

Though surprised, Ye Xiao's reaction was extremely fast.

He unleashed several Fireball spells in quick succession.

The overwhelming Fireball spells instantly covered the Curse Worm.

Perhaps it was due to the wide coverage of Ye Xiao's Fireball spells, or some other reason, but this time, the Curse Worm, after consuming the flesh and blood, did not dodge, allowing the Fireball spells to strike its massive body.

The health bar above the Curse Worm's head disappeared again, but in an instant, it was full once more.

This situation had already occurred once before.

Ye Xiao frowned.

Could it be that simply clearing its health bar wasn't enough to truly kill this Curse Worm?

He recalled how the first Curse Worm died; it was only thoroughly killed by his explosive magic weapon, which directly shattered its physical body.

Thus, Ye Xiao once again cast a barrage of skills, sealing off a two to three hundred meter radius around the Curse Worm, then, empowered by Divinity Speed, he swiftly closed in.

The Curse Worm clearly guessed what Ye Xiao intended to do, and a dozen tentacles instantly spread out, attacking Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's Absolute Evasion still had 10 seconds remaining, so he naturally handled these tentacles with ease.

After nimbly dodging, he appeared in front of the Curse Worm.

At this moment, he could clearly feel a hint of confusion in the Curse Worm's large single eye.

Perhaps it was confused as to why, despite its speed being clearly faster than Ye Xiao's, it consistently failed to hit him.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiao had no intention of explaining anything to amonster.

Under the Curse Worm's astonished gaze, the staff struck down fiercely.

“Bang!”

Even though this second Curse Worm's health was a million higher than the first, and its attack and defense had also increased.

But Ye Xiao's magic weapon damage was truly explosive; under the enhancement of thousands of Fireball spells, the Curse Worm simply couldn't withstand this normal attack damage.

Its physical body directly burst open, blood splattering everywhere.

However… after killing the Curse Worm once more, Ye Xiao's brows furrowed again.

Just like the first time, there was no kill notification.

In other words, this Curse Worm wasn't dead yet?

As soon as the thought arose in Ye Xiao's mind, a familiar energy fluctuation came from behind him again.

When Ye Xiao turned to look, he was met with that familiar figure.

The Curse Worm!

This was the third one.

At this point, Ye Xiao's Absolute Evasion had expired.

Facing these tentacles, Ye Xiao naturally didn't dare to be careless and quickly retreated.

This newly appeared Curse Worm's target did not seem to be Ye Xiao; seeing Ye Xiao dodge, it turned and rushed towards the scattered chunks of flesh.

Just like before, when the Curse Worm absorbed the previous corpse again.

Its health once again surged by a million, reaching a terrifying 4 million, and its attack and defense also increased by 1,000 points each.

This bizarre scene made Ye Xiao frown deeply.

This Curse Worm's ability was truly extraordinary; its health bar would instantly recover after being cleared, and even if its physical body was shattered, a new one would reappear.

Once a newly appeared Curse Worm ate the previous flesh and blood, its attributes would skyrocket.

And most importantly, without the help of Absolute Evasion, once hit by the Curse Worm's tentacles, the weakening curse on him would stack again.

Currently, Ye Xiao's attributes had already dropped to 19%; if he were hit a dozen more times, even if his overall attributes far surpassed ordinary people, with the ebb and flow, he might not truly be a match for this Curse Worm.

For a time, Ye Xiao, facing the Curse Worm whose strength had increased again, could only continuously retreat.

During this period, Ye Xiao even summoned two clones to stall the Curse Worm.

Unfortunately, the clones' abilities had also dropped to 19%; facing this ridiculously bizarre Curse Worm, the two clones couldn't last long before being shredded by the Curse Worm's tentacles.

Fortunately, at this moment, Void Phantom's cooldown ended.

Before the Curse Worm could readjust its aim, after another round of indiscriminate bombing yielded no results, Ye Xiao's body once again vanished into the void.

The Curse Worm, having lost sight of Ye Xiao, seemed to sense what Ye Xiao was about to do and became extremely vigilant.

However, facing Ye Xiao's Void Phantom, all of this was clearly futile.

When Ye Xiao's figure reappeared, without any surprise, the Curse Worm's body burst open again.

The third Curse Worm died.

But it didn't surprise Ye Xiao; almost without pause, the fourth Curse Worm appeared.

Ye Xiao, seeing this scene, was quite helpless.

Logically, there should only be one boss in each secret realm.

He couldn't understand where these Curse Worms were coming from.

Unfortunately, the Curse Worm would not answer his questions.

After repelling Ye Xiao, this Curse Worm still quickly devoured the flesh and blood of its 'predecessor,' and then the human and themonster once again became entangled in battle.

Although the Curse Worm's strength had grown significantly again, for now, Ye Xiao was still able to handle it calmly.

After stalling for another minute, Void Phantom's cooldown ended again.

He once again blew up the opponent with the excessive burst of his magic weapon.

However, then came the fifth, the sixth… as the seventh Curse Worm appeared and absorbed the flesh and blood.

This Curse Worm's health had already surged to a terrifying 8 million.

Its attack and defense were also a full 6,000 points higher than the first Curse Worm that appeared.

If it continued to grow at this rate, as long as these Curse Worms appeared endlessly, even if Ye Xiao used the power of his magic weapon, he wouldn't be able to defeat it.

In fact, later on, as the Curse Worm's attributes grew to a terrifying extent, Ye Xiao himself would become extremely dangerous.

There must be some crucial element here that Ye Xiao hadn't discovered.

He didn't believe that such attributes would appear on a level 120 boss.

At this moment, the now stronger Curse Worm pounced on Ye Xiao, clearly confident in its increased strength to completely annihilate the human before it.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao quickly thought for a moment and then made a decision.

This time, he didn't intend to kill the Curse Worm in front of him; instead, as the opponent approached.

He directly cast the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning barrier.

In an instant, the Curse Worm's massive body was fixed in place, its dozen tentacles frantically slapping against the invisible barrier around it.

It also let out a sharp shriek.

Clearly, this sudden change made the Curse Worm extremely angry.

At the same time, Ye Xiao somewhat unexpectedly discovered that, in addition to anger, the Curse Worm subtly showed a hint of unease.

This discovery immediately made Ye Xiao's heart stir.
