Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Long Tongue

The Xuanjin Ant-eating Beast BOSS was extremely fierce, and Lu Mingyuan was disinclined to provoke it. His target was strictly the mutated Ant King. However, a single statement from Song Jian was enough to pique his interest.

The mutated ants, in the presence of the Xuanjin Ant-eating Beast BOSS, became not but fodder. Whether it was a mutated worker ant, or a mutated soldier ant, neither stood a fighting chance against the beast, their only option was to run away in a scramble.

Lu Mingyuan believed that even the mutated Ant King itself, facing the Xuanjin Ant-eating Beast BOSS, would also be in for a tough fight.

“Maybe if I kill it, I might come across an item that could subdue the mutated Ant King. If I were to have such an item, I need not form a team with Song Jian. The spoils from killing the mutated Ant King would be all mine…”

Once the thought struck, it spread throughout Lu Mingyuan’s mind like wild weed. Glancing at Song Jian with an odd look, Lu Mingyuan joined the battle.

Seeing Song Jian daring to rush and attack it, the Xuanjin Ant-eating Beast grew even more irate. In its eyes, even a mutated soldier ant was better than Song Jian. Humans were too insignificant in its view. Had it not been for the Ant King by its side, which attracted the attention of the Xuanjin Ant-eating Beast, this colossal BOSS might not have even cast Song Jian a glance.

As the seemingly insignificant human launched an attack, the rage of the Xuanjin Ant-eating Beast was palpable. Bellowing in fury, it opened its gaping jaw, filled with jagged teeth, and its fluid, tough tongue whipped out against Song Jian.

The beast’s attack was incredibly swift, with multiple afterimages appearing mid-air, making it impossible to discern its actual target.

This kind of soft weapon, similar to a whip, could not be fended off with a long sword. Song Jian could only leap into the air, but the beast’s tongue followed suit, its serpentine antenna swiftly snaking around a large tree behind Song Jian and circled back towards Song Jian in mid-air.

Once caught by the beast’s tongue, Song Jian would face the same fate as the corpse of the mutated soldier ant, getting pulled into the beast’s mouth and ripped apart by its sharp teeth.

“Iron Wings!”

With a mental command from Song Jian, a pair of wings glistening with metallic radiance suddenly sprouted from his back. With a sound of “whoosh”, Song Jian accelerated in mid-air, leaving the Ant-eating Beast’s extended tongue clutching at thin air.

Though the Beast had shifted all its attention to Song Jian, Lu Mingyuan continued to observe from a distance. Thick magic energy swelled up around him, but he dared not release a spell.

At this moment, Song Jian had not inflicted any damage on the Beast. In other words, Song Jian had not firmly drawn the Beast’s aggro onto himself. The moment Lu Mingyuan entered the clash, the Beast’s aggro would quickly switch to him.

Song Jian, hovering in mid-air, was also acutely aware of this. Seeing the Beast’s tongue retract, Song Jian raised his sword and slashed at the Beast with all his might.

Light Strike!

A dazzling golden light suddenly illuminated the surrounding darkness as bright as day. The golden Sword Qi mercilessly slashed at the Beast’s back, causing over a dozen black-green scales to shatter instantly.

As Xuanjin Ant-eating Beast was not a shadow creature, Song Jian’s holy attack was not able to deal double damage. Therefore, this strike only caused the Beast to suffer around two-three hundred Vitality Points of damage.

The Beast let out a painful roar. It turned around and swung its right claw in the direction of Song Jian.

Three blade-shaped light traces appeared out of nowhere in midair, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and swooped towards Song Jian’s chest. These three light traces left white striae in the air as if they were tearing the space apart.

The light traces were incredibly fast; Song Jian had no time to dodge. By the time he noticed the light traces and planned to evade, they had already arrived at his chest.

The Iron Wings sprung forth as if they had a mind of their own, quickly furling over from both sides to shield Song Jian.

Clang, clang, clang~

The crisp sound of impact echoed in mid-air. The Iron Wings gained three significant scratches, scattering countless dazzling sparks;

the Iron Wings had a damage immunity limit. Song Jian suddenly felt a tearing pain in his chest, taking over eight hundred points of damage.

This amount of damage to an average level 20 player would cause severe injury and life-threatening damage, even if it didn’t result in instant death.

“The damage is too high!” Song Jian exclaimed. After all, the equipment on him was of a far higher quality compared to average players. Even though he wore leather armor, Song Jian was confident that even a defensive warrior in plate armor wouldn’t have much more defense and resistance than himself.

After dealing a successful hit, The Ant-eating Beast BOSS suddenly lunged at Song Jian mid-air.

Song Jian was shocked. He didn’t expect such a huge Ant-eating Beast to have an amazing leaping ability. Hastily, he controlled his Iron Wings to dodge laterally in mid-air.

Whoosh~

The Beast in mid-air shot out its long tongue towards Song Jian again, and its blood-red tip darted out like an arrow. Just as Song Jian evaded the Beast’s leap by drawing an arc in mid-air, he had not expected the Beast’s tongue to coil around his right leg from behind.

Alarmed, Song Jian turned around to strike the tongue with his sword. The Beast’s tongue was as resilient as old cowhide. Even after four or five slashes, Song Jian failed to leave a single cut, dealing only five-six hundred points of damage to the Beast.

When Song Jian raised his sword again to strike, a strong force pulled his right leg, making him lose balance. No matter how hard he flapped the Iron Wings, he was unable to control his body mid-air, and the flying sword in his hand was thrown away.

The head of the Ant-eating Beast BOSS fiercely jerked down, causing Song Jian to fall from the sky like a meteorite and crash into the ground, creating a huge crater.

Song Jian spat out a mouthful of blood, and his vitality points decreased suddenly by more than three hundred.

Seeing Song Jian in a miserable state, Lu Mingyuan, who was prepared to attack, hesitated again. The fireball he had conjured in his hands had yet to be unleashed.

Song Jian gritted his teeth, and with a thought, two burly Fire Elves suddenly appeared next to him. As soon as they appeared, they spewed scorching flames toward the long tongue wrapped around Song Jian’s right leg.

The Ant-eating Beast BOSS, in what seemed like a reflexive action, began to shake its tongue and growled. It tried to pull Song Jian into its mouth.

Song Jian clutched the long tongue with both hands, pushed his feet against the inner wall of the crater, and pulled back. For a moment, both the Beast and Song Jian were engaged in a tug of war with the long tongue stretched taut.

The Xuanjin Ant-eating Beast BOSS let out a thunderous roar, and the force it exerted suddenly increased. Song Jian felt his body being pulled by a massive force, causing his body to get hauled toward the Beast.
