I haven’t seen a 50-meter-tall Ultraman, but I have seen a 100-meter-tall Buddha!
Beyond the Fish King Pool lies the Binyang Three Caves within the Dragon Gate Grottoes.
These are three entrances to the caves carved into the mountain wall.
The space inside is vast, and there are many buddha statue-type monsters.
It is also the most likely place for a BOSS to appear.
Lin Xuan had already arrived at the second cave entrance.
At the entrance, a twelve-person team was battling a buddha statue BOSS nearly ten meters tall.
Unlike the Sakura Country team he encountered before,
Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to act this time.
It wasn't because this European Continent team had more members.
Instead, the Lord-level buddha statue they were besieging still had a very healthy amount of health.
Without a detection skill, he couldn't see the exact health.
However, once in battle, the health percentage would be displayed.
Currently, the BOSS's health bar was still at fifty percent.
It was not suitable to act yet.
“The data shows that although most of the monsters on this First Level of the Underground Palace are Level 60, there are quite a few above Level 70.”
“If this buddha statue is a Level 70 BOSS, its health might reach tens of millions.”
“My talent deals 5% true damage based on the opponent's lost health.”
“Calculated this way, I only need to act when its health is at ten percent.”
“Then I can use the three Soul Fires from my skill Split to trigger three true damage effects at once and take down the BOSS!”
“However, that would require transforming into the Lich King, and if I kill it, I won't be able to convert it into a Contract Beast.”
“Forget it, this thing has too low growth potential; I won't waste a contract slot.”
Lin Xuan thought to himself, leaving Irena and Silly Cow at the first cave entrance, and slowly walked forward.
Seeing Lin Xuan approach, two members of the twelve-person team became wary.
The two withdrew from the battle circle, staring intently at Lin Xuan.
Since they were already in the Relic, there was no need to talk about courtesy or honor.
Moreover, they were a group of foreigners.
Lin Xuan glanced at them lightly, pretending to pass by, and headed straight for the third cave.
This small team saw that he wasn't coming over.
They also relaxed their guard and continued to focus on dealing with the BOSS.
At the entrance of the third cave, there were also signs of battle.
Someone might be fighting inside.
However, further ahead was the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave.
That place was larger than the Binyang Three Caves, with more monsters.
Most Professional Players would likely choose to go there.
The commotion inside this third cave was not significant.
There shouldn't be a BOSS battle inside.
But just in case,
Lin Xuan still stealthily snuck in for a look.
Indeed, inside, only a five-person team was battling a group of ordinary buddha statues.
The drop rate for pet eggs within the Relic was very high.
While the buddha statue as a pet had slightly lower growth stats,
it could drop a group defense skill called 'Copper Wall Iron Wall'.
It was very powerful and highly favored by support and tank warriors.
However, the drop rate was very low, so the price was extremely expensive.
These people were probably farming for skill books.
Having confirmed there was no BOSS,
Lin Xuan exited the cave and stayed at the cave entrance, slowly battling, waiting for the adjacent BOSS to be low on health.
This twelve-person team from the European Continent seemed to have been temporarily formed.
Their coordination was very poor.
After reaching thirty percent health, the BOSS's attacks became somewhat berserk.
It took these people nearly an hour to get it down to ten percent health.
Seeing them struggle so much,
Lin Xuan almost didn't want to make a move.
However, a Relic was not a place for pleasantries, but for killing.
Every year, when the Relic in Xia Country opened, there were no restrictions on foreign Professional Players entering.
But some national Relics, when opened, only allowed their own country's Professional Players to enter.
They claimed their country was too small and resources were limited.
They said they were very grateful for Xia Country's generosity in sharing Relic resources.
They said it nicely, but in reality,
foreign Professional Player teams who came to Xia Country's Relic every year wouldn't even say thank you.
They would even get into conflicts with many people.
Lin Xuan didn't know what the higher-ups in Xia Country were thinking.
He wouldn't tolerate these people who came to Xia Country to snatch resources.
As the twelve-person team was putting all their effort into preparing to slay the BOSS,
three faint green flames curved and struck the BOSS's body.
Successfully killed Lord-level buddha statue, Experience +450,000
Congratulations on gaining Free Attribute +1, Skill Point +1
Current Level experience has reached one hundred percent, Level increased to 52!
Congratulations on obtaining Pet Egg: buddha statue, after hatching it can...
...
Speak of the devil.
This time, snatching the BOSS not only dropped a pet egg but also a very rare skill book.
More importantly, he also gained attributes and skill points.
One must know,
Professional Players had a chance to gain attributes and skill points every time they first killed a monster.
However, the probability was very low.
Even lower than the probability of clearing a dungeon for the first time.
Since Lin Xuan changed his profession, he had killed so many monsters, and this was only the third time he had gained them.
“Holy cow!”
“Fuck!”
“Don't eat sour radishes!”
“...”
With the BOSS snatched, the twelve-person team instantly erupted in rage and launched an attack.
Lin Xuan, of course, didn't waste words.
However, he hadn't even transferred these few people into the Frost Domain yet.
The surrounding mountain path suddenly began to shake violently.
The stones, trees, flowers, and plants on both sides of the mountain path all shook violently.
“Rumble!”
“Rumble!”
...
Mixed in with the rumbling were various exclamations and curses.
This commotion
momentarily made Lin Xuan and the Professional Player team in front of him stop their attacks.
Everyone looked down the mountain path in the direction of the greatest commotion.
After more than a dozen consecutive rumbles,
in everyone's sight,
hundreds of Professional Players were fleeing in panic.
Behind them, countless stone statues stood.
Some of these stone statues were intact, while others were missing arms and legs.
However, behind all the stone statues was a huge dark shadow.
“I'll C it! This BOSS is off the charts!”
“Run, quick, run!”
“It's all that Masked Man's fault for wiping out my thousand-man group! How the hell are we supposed to fight this?!”
“Who the hell alarmed it so quickly? I'd like to thank them!”
Someone in the Professional Player team screamed in horror.
Lin Xuan, however, narrowed his pupils and curved his lips.
There was mist within the Relic.
So, it was impossible to see too far.
But that huge dark shadow
clearly indicated that a big one had arrived.
Combined with the words from these Professional Players,
it was obvious.
The dark shadow must be the World-Class BOSS buddha statue within the Longmen Grottoes Relic!
“Rumble!”
As the rumbling and exclamations continuously approached,
the mountain rocks, soil, trees, and flowers on both sides of the mountain path shook even more violently.
The ground beneath Lin Xuan and the others' feet seemed about to collapse.
Some Professional Players couldn't even stand steadily and could only lie prostrate on the ground.
Finally,
the massive dark shadow emerged from the mist and appeared in Lin Xuan's vision.
When it fully revealed its true form,
Lin Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It was too damn big!
The buddha statue itself was a hundred meters tall.
It was entirely black, with a majestic face and downcast eyes.
Intricate and mysterious patterns were carved on its body, emitting a faint golden light.
As it approached,
a heavy and oppressive aura enveloped the world.
The air seemed to solidify, and even breathing became difficult.
“Is this... a World-Class Giant BOSS?”
I've never seen a fifty-meter Ultraman, but I've seen a hundred-meter Buddha!
Even Tiga would be called a little brother if he came.
“Fuck!”
“Run!”
Seeing this gigantic World-Class BOSS,
the few European Continent Professional Players who had intended to attack Lin Xuan
didn't even think about fixing its big feet and turned to run.
Rumble rumble—
The mountain path was collapsing.
Everyone quickly fled downhill towards the Yi River.
Lin Xuan also didn't hesitate.
Although he wasn't afraid of this BOSS,
the nearby terrain was destroyed and not suitable for battle.
Following the slope, he ran down to the side of the turbulent Yi River below.
As Lin Xuan just stood firm, he found that the Yi River beside him suddenly began to boil.
Immediately after, a massive shadow, over a hundred meters tall, stood up, pushing through the river water that fell like an ordinary waterfall.
Two World-Class BOSSes appeared simultaneously!
