Seeing the two huge sea serpents sliding their long bodies through the waters in his direction and noticing their clearly ominous eyes, Xie Feng paused for a moment to think before finally making a decision.
With a gust of wind lightly surrounding his body, the special skill Gale Track belonging to the title Wind God was successfully activated. That small wind, as if it had been stimulated, began to grow slowly but surely and steadily.
Stomping hard on the frozen platforms under his feet, Xie Feng advanced instead of retreating and in a second appeared in front of the two sea serpents.
The beasts’ bodies were deep blue with a small metallic sheen. As if they were veins, their whole body was ringed by light blue lines, giving them a mysterious and deep appearance. Although these were only two normal level 20 beasts, they had enough HP to give many players problems.
Both snakes opened their jaws wide and bit towards Xie Feng at full speed. However, the attack pattern of the beasts was simply too simple so it posed no threat to someone like Xie Feng.
His feet moved strangely and his body leaned slightly to his left, causing the two huge heads to pass beyond his body. However, Xie Feng did not attack the beasts and instead passed beyond them.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The wind surrounding Xie Feng’s body suddenly became much stronger and the two fifteen meter long sea serpents were forced back a few meters as they hissed menacingly but now with their guard slightly raised they no longer approached so casually.
Gale Track’s effect increased Xie Feng’s attack power by 5% for each monster he forced back by making use of the wind generated by the skill itself. That was precisely what Xie Feng was doing.
After forcing the two sea serpents to retreat, Xie Feng continued to advance but had not even gone ten meters further when another four sea serpents identical to the previous two appeared before him.
The bodies of the sea serpents seemed to coil around each other as they rushed toward him, glaring at him with their slitted pupils as if he were small prey. Four hideous morbid ones shot toward Xie Fen with the intention of tearing him into pieces.
A normal level twenty player would easily lose at least half of their health bar from a joint attack like this. Even dying was not impossible.
However, even before the giant heads of the sea serpents could touch his armor, Xie Feng passed by them like a flash of red lightning. His spear glowed with an intense bloody red as the wind surrounding his body and weapon became thicker.
The four sea serpents were sent flying four or five meters, clearing the path they were blocking with previously blocked with such vehemence.
The four serpents returned to the surface after falling noisily into the water and began to chase furiously after the little human who had sent them flying.
Xie Feng looked over his shoulder and quickly saw that the four sea serpents had now joined forces with the initial two, increasing the number of sea serpents to six.
At 250 meters, the number of sea serpents chasing Xie Feng was approximately one hundred.
When he reached 290 meters, the number of sea serpents chasing him was simply too many to count, but Xie Feng estimated that there should be about three or four hundred.
If someone were to look down from the sky, they could easily see a tornado-shaped wind tube horizontal to the sea that was about fifteen meters long. But the most terrifying thing was that right behind it, hundreds of monsters were running rampant while roaring furiously.
Such a lineup was enough to kill even a small team of normal elites. But Xie Feng did not stop his steps and continued further, breaking the three hundred meter mark.
As long as Xie Feng did not attack, Gale Track’s effect which pushed his enemies out of the way would be maintained. Of course, since the skill’s maximum was to increase the damage of his next attack by 100% at most, even if Xie Feng continued to send enemies flying, he could no longer accumulate extra damage. However, Xie Feng’s intention was to make good use of the wind tornado, not necessarily the 100% extra damage.
What Xie Feng wanted was to push away all the enemies blocking his path, otherwise, if he continued to fight like this, by the time the effect of the boots was over he would have no choice but to call Ling Long to swim in the deep water. But the problem was that although Ling Long could move freely in the water, the terror of the deep water monsters was not something she could handle yet.
Another big problem with this method was that, while it allowed Xie Feng to charge straight ahead without interruption, the monsters he did not slay would chase him to the ends of the earth since he had technically provoked and attacked them. Therefore, unless Xie Feng suddenly disappeared at an astonishing speed or unless he killed them all, he would be chased as long as he stayed in the ocean.
After crossing the three hundred meters, just as Xie Feng expected, another creature appeared blocking his path.
Sea creatures were different from land creatures. Although the agility of such beasts might not compare to certain types of land or air-type monsters, the size of water monsters was generally much larger than land or air monsters. Of course, there were exceptions, but that was the general rule since, leaving aside single-celled organisms invisible to the naked eye, even the smallest insect of the sea known as paedocypris was larger than a land ant.
This creature blocking Xie Feng’s path was about a hundred meters long and at least thirty meters tall. Its body seemed to be made of the purest metal as the sun’s rays were automatically reflected upon contact with the beast’s body.
[Protector Fortress Whale: KING grade boss
[Level: 25
[HP: 50.000
[Description: Possesses a unique defense in its class.
[Skill(s):
[Iron Skin (Passive Skill): With scales as hard as the toughest metal, it can resist most physical attacks. Effect: Decreases the damage of incoming physical attacks by 70%.
[Endless Absorption (Active Skill): With its large size, it needs a lot of food. This turned its appetite into a powerful weapon. Effect: When opening its giant mouth, the Protector Fortress Whale creates a whirlpool of water that draws its enemies towards it, inflicting 1000 points of water-type magic damage per second to all enemies twenty meters around].
Two simple, but extremely horrifying skills. Even Xie Feng felt the hairs on his body stand on end. With such a pair of skills, even a team of fifty or sixty players couldn’t necessarily defeat this monster!
The huge difference between the Lord grade and the King grade was too great, obvious to anyone who saw it. Of course, even among the monsters of the same rank, there were some stronger than others and some of them were even weaker than a Lord grade in terms of health. However, each of the King-grade monsters possessed the ability to cause a small commotion among the players.
Of course, none of this mattered to Xie Feng currently. Although the Iron Skin skill of the Protector Fortress Whale could give him several headaches, his current intention was not to fight against this beast.
Xie Feng continued to move forward with no intention of retreating. In fact, even if he wanted to retreat it was not possible for him since there were approximately half a thousand sea monsters recklessly chasing him.
The huge beast saw the ant-like human being charging at it and was enraged beyond words. With a strange roar, the Protector Fortress Whale flapped its fins and tail, shooting at Xie Feng like a torpedo.
Although the monster’s size was quite considerable, its movement speed was not slow at all and if a player dared to underestimate it they could easily be swallowed to death!
With the beast’s movement, the waters shook fiercely and ten-meter high waves surged like nothing else.
Xie Feng taunted the beast and turned into a red flash lightning, with his crimson spear in front. Making use of all 300 STR points, he used his spear to move the surrounding tornado forward, thus boosting its power. Even with his high STR his spear constantly thrummed, almost escaping from his hands.
However, the effect was remarkable.
Boom!
With a loud boom, the huge Protector Fortress Whale was engulfed by the tornado and sent flying a dozen meters before crashing heavily into the water, sinking and raising a wave over two hundred meters high in the process.
Xie Feng immediately stopped controlling the tornado and let it run wildly around him, which released much of the tension on his spear.
Bang!
A loud bang resounded behind him and with a quick glance, he saw how the big wave hit many monsters heavily after falling down into the ocean again. Although the impact was powerful, taking over a thousand life points from several sea serpents, none of them died and continued to chase Xie Feng furiously.
Soon, the giant king grade whale joined the sea serpent army while roaring fiercely.
Now, not only did a total of nearly five hundred level twenty monsters viciously hunt him now; even a monster capable of killing a hundred players in the same level wanted to eat him alive!
Considering he was level 24, this was enough to scare any player beyond words… With no intention of stopping, Xie Feng continued to charge deeper into the waters.
