319: escape
On the other side, Huang Chen continuously tangled with the Blue-Eyed Gold-Pupiled Beast.
Every time the Gold-Pupiled Beast's vertical eye lit up, Huang Chen would interrupt it with various skills. When skill interruption failed, Huang Chen would use his Black and Yellow Body to immunize himself from most attacks.
Even when the Black and Yellow Body was on cooldown, he had the Water Element users' Level 40 skill [Agile Body], which could instantly remove the slowing effect and last for three seconds. Its cooldown was 10 seconds, decreasing with proficiency.
As long as his speed didn't drop and he wasn't hit by the Gold-Pupiled Beast's pounces and bites, taking some damage was relatively easy to withstand the opponent's skills.
In this way, Huang Chen suppressed the Blue-Eyed Gold-Pupiled Beast for a full 25 minutes before finally killing it.
Ding! You have killed the boss, Blue-Eyed Gold-Pupiled Beast. You have gained 1 million points and contribution!
Hearing the system notification, a look of ecstasy appeared on Huang Chen's face. A Level 60 BOSS gave 10,000 points, a Level 70 gave 100,000, and a Level 80 already gave 1 million. So if he killed 100 of them, wouldn't he be able to exchange for a God Rank armor?
When he first entered the battlefield, he was misled by his previous life's experience, thinking that 100 million contribution points were impossible to obtain.
After all, in his previous life, at the end of the Asura Battlefield, the highest score was only a little over 10 million.
However, the reality was that an 80-level boss gave 1 million points. For 100 million, he only needed to kill 100, which didn't seem too difficult.
He already had demon slayer for weapons, ensuring his attack power. The only thing he lacked was high-level defensive gear, preferably armor.
He looked at the special monsters all over the mountains, as if looking at a treasure vault of equipment.
This place seemed tailor-made for him. Other Trial Takers, if their skills hadn't reached the pinnacle of perfection, couldn't enter at all, because their defense wasn't enough, and a single skill from a boss would probably instant-kill them.
Even if their skills reached the pinnacle of perfection, without evasion, it would be extremely difficult to enter the monster horde and kill an 80-level special boss.
"What's the point of Star Abyss creating this place?" Huang Chen muttered to himself.
As of now, besides him, basically no one else has the ability to delve deep into this plain, right?
Star Abyss couldn't have set up such a place just for him, could it?
The Asura Battlefield itself is a random drop, so organizing large-scale teams is basically impossible.
Moreover, don't assume that the Forbidden City's inner disciples have all reached the 'great success' realm. This is the result of Huang Chen's continuous soul honey consumption and Zi Han's special training.
For other ordinary Trial Takers, breaking through to 'minor success' in all skills after a year would already be considered exceptionally talented.
"A frog in a well!"
Just then, Zi Han let out a sneer from the pet space.
"The purpose of Star Abyss is to make you constantly stronger. To become stronger, you need to fight more powerful monsters."
"The death rate for that is very high, but here you can't really die. From another perspective, doesn't this resemble a scaled-down version of special training?"
"Moreover, here, the higher your talent, the faster you comprehend, and the faster your strength improves... This is also a disguised way of screening for high-talent, high-quality groups!"
Huang Chen secretly nodded. Indeed, the entire Star Abyss was like raising Gu, first stimulating the potential of Trial Takers from various directions, and then letting them compete among themselves, with the fittest surviving.
Just then, his communication panel flashed urgently.
Elise: Hubby, Lan Yufei of the Rain Clan contacted me. She said she has an opportunity and wants to make a deal with you. She's behind you, blocked by monsters and can't get through.
"Lan Yufei? Rain Clan?" Huang Chen still had some impression of her. She was eighth in the Heavenly Ladder individual challenge, and had directly conceded when she encountered him.
What impressed Huang Chen wasn't her strength, but her comprehensive score of 99.
Huang Chen licked his lips. A 99-point goddess, while she couldn't make the goddess record holy, it wouldn't be bad to take her in as a tool-person to add potential points.
Immediately, he replied to Elise.
Huang Chen: Got it. Push her friend request to me. I'll go find her after I'm done here.
He didn't immediately set off to find Lan Yufei. His top priority now was to farm points.
With so many monsters in sight, an 80-level boss wasn't hard to find. Even if he killed one every half hour, 100 bosses would only take a little over ten days to clear.
Moreover, he also planned to see what else was in the depths of the plain. After all, the further in he went, the higher the monster levels would be. Maybe he could even encounter 90-level or even 100-level bosses, achieving his goal in one go.
After delving about fifty kilometers, a scorching aura hit him. A large area ahead had scorched black ground, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur. Some monsters with lava flowing over their bodies roamed within it.
And in the center of that scorched earth, there was a figure whose oppressive aura was several times greater than that of the Blue-Eyed Gold-Pupiled Beast.
It was a gigantic bird! Its entire body was covered in feathers burning with dark red flames, and its long tail feathers were like flowing lava. Every flap of its wings stirred up large sparks of intense heat.
Sky-Burning Flame Phoenix lv100 Rank: Special Monster Boss
"Level 100!" Huang Chen's eyes narrowed. This was definitely one of the top bosses in the current Asura Battlefield! Based on points increasing tenfold for every ten levels, if he could kill it, the points should be 100 million. This truly was a one-step solution.
He carefully observed the Blazing Phoenix's activity range and surrounding environment.
The Sky-Burning Flame Phoenix had extremely strong territorial awareness; even the hundred-level Lava Giants roaming nearby dared not approach its core area.
"I can fight an 80-level Blue-Eyed Gold-Pupiled Beast, and even double that strength might be barely manageable, but the boss in front of me gives me a feeling of invincibility. Moreover, it's a bird-type boss, if I rashly attack, I won't be able to escape when I want to." Huang Chen quickly assessed the risks.
"Perhaps if my skills improve by another realm, I could try."
"Forget it, I'll let you off for now." Huang Chen decisively gave up. Forcing a kill on a Level 100 boss at this stage was too low in cost-effectiveness.
"Caw!"
However, just as Huang Chen was about to turn and leave, the Sky-Burning Flame Phoenix suddenly let out a sharp cry, its two burning eyes staring directly at Huang Chen's position.
"Not good, I've been discovered!"
"Discovered!" A warning bell rang loudly in Huang Chen's heart.
The Blazing Phoenix didn't hesitate. Its massive body suddenly shook, and a thick, blazing white flame breath tore through the air, shooting directly towards Huang Chen's location at an astonishing speed. Where the flames passed, the ground rocks instantly melted into scorching lava.
"Black and Yellow Body!" Huang Chen reacted extremely quickly, and a dark golden halo instantly enveloped his entire body.
Boom!
The flame breath slammed into the small hill. The mountain beneath Huang Chen's feet disintegrated and vanished upon contact, leaving a huge lava pit. Even in a magic-immune state, the terrifying heat still felt like it would melt him.
Without time to think, the Black and Yellow Body, at the pinnacle of perfection, lasted for 8 seconds. Using the recoil from the explosion, Huang Chen shot straight into the sky, fleeing back the way he came.
However, a scorching energy still covered him. At this energy intensity, as soon as the Black and Yellow Body disappeared, Huang Chen's current defense would definitely be melted by this energy.
The Sky-Burning Flame Phoenix did not pursue. Its Blazing Breath would adhere to the opponent for ten seconds, and according to the current skill levels of Trial Takers, their magic immunity skills would last at most five seconds.
Once the magic immunity wore off, this person would not escape death.
Huang Chen dared not look back. The strength of the Level 100 special monster boss was truly beyond his imagination. He could only flee at full speed now.
Three seconds passed, the flames on his body were still there;
Five seconds passed... A solemn expression appeared on Huang Chen's face. The Black and Yellow Body was about to disappear.
Although dying here wouldn't mean truly dying, he was currently ranked first on the leaderboard. It would be too embarrassing to suddenly lose 10% of his points.
Eight seconds were almost up. Huang Chen's thoughts sank into his backpack, preparing to take medicine and endure it.
"Are you stupid?"
Just then, Zi Han's voice echoed in Huang Chen's mind.
