Should I avoid its sharp edge?

"A boss appeared!"

Chen Ming's eyes lit up.

Boss monsters in Eternal are extremely powerful; generally, multiple people need to cooperate to successfully conquer them.

Of course, the rewards for killing a boss are also very generous, especially for the first kill, which not only guarantees a 100% drop rate for equipment and items but also grants extra attribute rewards.

The experience provided is also far beyond what ordinary monsters can match.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Ming looked back.

He saw a golden-colored Goblin holding a battle-axe, staring at him with predatory eyes.

Behind it, a large number of ordinary Goblins had gathered, at least a hundred of them.

[Goblin Leader: Golden Goblin] (black iron grade boss)

[Description: A half-breed mongrel; the Golden Saint Clan will never recognize your status.]

...

Although it was only a lowest-tier black iron grade boss, the Golden Goblin's attributes could only be described as outrageous; any player at this stage would die upon contact.

"Roar, roar!!"

Seeing the enemy who killed its kin right before its eyes, the Golden Goblin let out a roar and led its group of Goblins in a swift charge.

"Retreat first."

Chen Ming squeezed his legs while riding the Ice Emperor Wolf King.

The Ice Emperor Wolf King immediately retreated. After reaching level 3, its Agility attribute was now as high as 70 points.

Although the Golden Goblin's Agility was a notch higher, it wouldn't be able to catch up in the short term.

Chen Ming seized the opportunity, decisively drawing his bow and nocking arrows to rapidly fire at the group of ordinary Goblins following behind the Golden Goblin.

After several hours of slaughter, the toxin damage from the Source of All Evil had stacked to 135 points.

Just one arrow to apply the toxin was enough to easily insta-kill those ordinary Goblins.

In just a few minutes, all the ordinary Goblins following the Golden Goblin were shot dead.

Bright red kill notifications popped up continuously like raindrops before his eyes.

"Now it's your turn!"

Chen Ming's gaze locked onto the Golden Goblin.

The Golden Goblin had already caught up behind him. Without hesitation, Chen Ming stood up on the Ice Emperor Wolf King's back and leaped forcefully, flying out to widen the distance again.

Meanwhile, the Ice Emperor Wolf King suddenly turned around and pounced, pinning the Golden Goblin to the ground.

"Roar, roar!!"

The Golden Goblin let out a low growl, repeatedly hacking at the Ice Emperor Wolf King with its Heavy Axe.

However, the Ice Emperor Wolf King's HP bar was now as high as 3400 points. Even with the Golden Goblin's staggering damage output, it couldn't do anything to the wolf for the time being.

Chen Ming seized the chance, drawing his bow and nocking arrows to unleash a barrage of attacks.

Arrows flew from his hands one after another, every single one hitting its mark precisely on the Golden Goblin.

-16.

-37 (true damage).

The Golden Goblin's defense could only be described as outrageous.

Even with attributes as explosive as Chen Ming's, the damage dealt was pitifully low.

Fortunately, the toxin damage from the Source of All Evil had stacked to 240 points. Once all three stacks were applied, it could drain up to 720 HP from the Golden Goblin every second.

4000...

3000...

2000...

...

In just a moment, the Golden Goblin's HP, which was originally 5500, had dropped to around 2000.

"Roar!!"

The Golden Goblin roared, forcibly breaking free from the Ice Emperor Wolf King's entanglement and charging recklessly toward Chen Ming.

As a black iron grade boss, it had already developed a glimmer of intelligence.

The Golden Goblin understood that only by killing the human before it could it have a chance at survival.

"Only realized it now?"

"Too late!"

Chen Ming chuckled and retreated quickly.

By the time the Golden Goblin drew near, its HP was already below 1000.

[Notification: Goblin Leader: Golden Goblin's HP is down to 15%, about to enter a berserk state.]

A danger warning popped up before his eyes.

A surge of blood erupted from within the Golden Goblin, and its body began to swell at a visible rate, its muscles becoming extremely bulging.

Normally, when facing a boss in a berserk state, most people's first principle would be to temporarily avoid its edge, wait for the berserk state to end and the boss to enter a weakened state, before continuing the fight.

But at this moment, a smile curled on Chen Ming's lips: "I avoid its edge?"

"What a joke!"

With those words, he raised the sun chaser and fired an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow landed on the Golden Goblin.

In the next instant, the Hunter's Execution Effect activated.

Amidst a series of unwilling wails, the Golden Goblin gradually slumped to the ground.

"Do not anonymize!"

Chen Ming had never liked hiding his head and tail.

At the moment he made his choice, a series of world announcements popped up before all players.
