168: A monster boss that looks expensive

[Stealing...]

[Steal successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining B-grade Skill Summon Treant, B-grade Skill Earth Entanglement, and B-grade Skill Swamp!]

Although Chen Ming wasn't afraid of the monster summoner in terms of numbers.

But if there's a more convenient way to resolve it, why butt heads and cause himself extra trouble?

First, he stole all the monster summoner's skills, and the moment the treant was about to collapse and disintegrate, he immediately triggered the [Summon Treant] skill again.

The treant reformed.

Only this time, control fell into Chen Ming's hands, not the monster summoner's.

The monster summoner tightly hugged the staff in his hands, looking harmless and trembling.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that summoning a treant to deal with Chen Ming would result in the opponent targeting his skills, violently stealing them, and using them against him.

Wooden fingers grew out, like octopus tentacles, wrapping the monster summoner into a cocoon, tightly binding him.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

He was repeatedly thrown into the air, then slammed down, enduring constant brutalization.

His health plummeted wildly.

In no time, the moment it reached thirty percent, he was [Executed] on the spot.

As a summoner, after losing his summoned creature, he had no power to resist, like a fish on a chopping board.

[Successfully killed Treant Summoner! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Golden Chest +2!]

[Extracting...]

[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new Undead Servant: Treant Summoner!]

After dealing with the treant summoner, Chen Ming waved his hand and dismissed the six treants.

They turned into a large area of hundreds of thick roots, re-entering the soil...

As he wanted to continue exploring, the Undead Zombie he had dispatched sent back a message.

Found Man!

Chen Ming closed his eyes, temporarily took control of the Undead Zombie, and upon opening them, the scene suddenly changed.

In an empty space before him, he could see a dazzling brilliance like diamonds, exceptionally bright!

And the Man was raising his arms, with a foolish expression of being deeply attracted, like a walking corpse, walking towards the light.

Chen Ming could feel that the light had a strong bewitching quality.

Fortunately, his mental strength was strong enough, coupled with the other enhancements brought by his skills, so he wasn't affected like the Man.

By reading part of the Undead Zombie's memory, Chen Ming learned that the Man had used some kind of item to make himself invisible.

Unfortunately, he accidentally stumbled into this unknown area, was attracted by the colorful light, and voluntarily revealed himself.

And then this scene unfolded.

Chen Ming closed his eyes and opened them again, returning to his main body.

Then, using the Undead Monarch's exclusive S-Rank Skill, [Shapeshift and Shadow Swap], he instantly swapped positions with the Undead Zombies.

He took out the sunglasses he had previously looted from the mall, worth tens of thousands, and put them on.

After blocking the dazzling glare, Chen Ming saw a huge diamond, placed on four pitch-black, giant claws that grew out of the ground, like a ring setting?

The entire diamond was no less than ten meters high, its brilliance dazzling.

Opening the Resource Map, Chen Ming immediately knew what this thing was.

What was exposed was actually just the tip of the iceberg.

The rest was all buried underground.

And it was precisely the boss of this secret realm instance!

Chen Ming was unwilling to see the prey he had targeted being snatched away by someone else.

Clenching his five fingers, he summoned a wisp of lightning, like a spear, and hurled it towards the diamond.

Crackle! Crackle!

The sound was incessant, the might of the lightning earth-shattering!

Just the residual power of an electric arc sent the Man flying, his back slamming heavily against a tree trunk.

"Cough!" His expression changed drastically, he spat out a mouthful of blood, regained consciousness, and fell.

He had regained consciousness, but who knew how many bones in his whole body were broken.

Due to the lightning, his limbs felt strongly paralyzed and he couldn't move.

Moving even a little, the feeling was a hundred times! A thousand times! more painful than hitting a nerve.

"Roar!"

Also letting out a scream was the spider that originally had most of its body hidden underground.

That's right, a spider.

Most of its body was composed of special gems similar to diamonds, and the giant gem used to bewitch people was actually its abdomen.

The reason it could emit bewitching light stemmed from a skill effect that could uncover the deepest desires in people's hearts and make the target completely lost within them.

By the time they reacted, they had already been swallowed whole by the spider that emerged from the ground, digested until not even bone fragments remained.

"Damn it! Why is it like this? I just managed to escape..."

Lying on the ground, barely sitting up, the Man's eyes were full of unwillingness.

He had thought his plan would go smoothly.

"Fine then, at least before I die, I can see him being brutally killed by the boss, so I won't be lonely on the Netherworld road," the Man said in a voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.

He became increasingly weak, using even a little strength felt like his body was falling apart.

He looked at the Diamond Spider.

It was indescribably strange, the white furry part above its mouth had a mimicked ghost face.

The surrounding rhomboid, varying in size and slightly darker blue gem-like parts, were its real eyes.

Its eight legs, the upper and lower parts were angular, like carefully cut bluish diamonds, while the central part was covered in pitch-black fur, making them appear thicker.

Recalling the scene he had just seen, the Man was certain he had been bewitched.

In his fantasy, he had assembled a million flame legions, controlled the world, and the top figures of countless nations all swore allegiance to him.

And then?

Then, before he could be happy for two seconds, Chen Ming forcefully shattered his beautiful dream, turning him into this miserable state.

His hatred towards him surged straight up.

Anyway, he was going to die no matter what, so why not let himself die in a beautiful dream?

Chen Ming didn't care what he was thinking, he stepped forward, facing the Diamond Spider alone.

"Roar!"

The Diamond Spider roared, expressing its anger.

Its mouth full of sharp teeth, all the way to the depths of its throat that Chen Ming could see, were of the same material, highlighting its nobility.

"Like to bark?" Chen Ming summoned the Dangerous Rover Mech, quickly equipped it, and took off the Shotgun from his waist.

Giving the Diamond Spider no room to react, he directly shoved the barrel into its throat.

Bang!!

Pulling the trigger, countless shattered diamonds scattered in the air like blood.

The Diamond Spider was blasted dozens of meters away, rolled several times, and broke several hundred-year-old trees before finally stopping.

With its back to the ground and face to the sky, it struggled for a long time before successfully flipping over.

'Mech!!'

'Wait! Isn't this the Mecha Celestial that was making waves on the internet before? Not only does he have Undead summoning skills, but he also fished up a Mech??'

After learning this, he recalled how smug he had been, thinking himself invincible just because he had fished up an S-Rank Skill.

The Man suddenly felt that his failure wasn't without reason; it was quite laughable.

He completely understood the saying, "There are always people better than you, and skies beyond skies."

His heart couldn't help but waver, 'Can that spider really kill him?'

He had a feeling that he would be walking the Netherworld road alone, unable to accompany Chen Ming.
