This bull-headed commander walked upright, standing three meters tall. His skin was dark red, covered in strange patterns. His large, bell-like eyes gleamed with a yellowish light, and his nostrils flared as he puffed out heavy breaths. His muscles rippled like coiled dragons, brimming with explosive power. He wielded a massive axe made from the bones of some unknown animal, exuding an imposing aura. From a distance, he resembled a giant with a bull's head.

When the Bull-Headed Commander saw Zhang Shi and the others, it was as if he had killed his father. Without saying a word, he strode towards Zhao Feng, who was at the front. His steps shook the mountains and forests as if an earthquake had occurred.

Having witnessed the might of the Bull-Headed Commander, Zhao Feng dared not underestimate him. He activated his full buff and unleashed a sweeping attack to meet the opponent's attack head-on.

Surprisingly, even with multiple buffs, Zhao Feng was still no match for his opponent. Zhao Feng felt a powerful force coming from his arm, and the Battle Axe flew backward uncontrollably along the force, causing Zhao Feng to retreat repeatedly until he had taken more than ten steps back before he was able to dissipate the force.

"careful!"

Before Zhao Feng could react, the beast bone axe was already falling on his head. At the critical moment, Ge Dalong placed a water wall above his head and then put a layer of ice armor on his body, which blocked the axe blade and saved Zhao Feng's life.

The Minotaur Commander moved swiftly, roared, and then changed direction with his axe, delivering a downward slash that instantly shattered the Frost Armor.

At the same time, Zhang Shi had already teleported behind the Minotaur Commander and swept his sword across its neck, intending to behead it.

The bull-headed commander felt a chill run down his back and nimbly dodged to the side. The blade struck its shoulder, and Old Duan's blade became lodged in its flesh.

The Minotaur Commander cried out in pain, turned around, and slapped at the area where Zhang Shi was, but missed. Zhang Shi had already teleported back to his teammates. Old Duan withdrew from the Minotaur Commander's body, taking away a large chunk of flesh, leaving blood everywhere around the Minotaur Commander.

Seeing this, Wu Qing unleashed both curses and punishments on the Minotaur Commander. However, the boss was of such a high rank that it was immune to the curses, but the punishments still had some effect. The Minotaur Commander's momentum immediately weakened, and it seemed that Wu Qing had drained a lot of its energy.

Taking advantage of the lull, Zhao Feng retreated to the rear, gathered his soldiers, and set up the magic cannon.

"Fire! Blow this minotaur to death!"

In an instant, muskets and cannons roared. Even the Minotaur commander, facing the giant cannons enhanced by array patterns, dared not be careless. He swung his giant axe to block and deflect the incoming cannonballs. As for the bullets from the muskets, they couldn't even penetrate its hide.

The bombing lasted for a full five minutes, and the jungle behind the Minotaur Commander had been razed to the ground, filled with smoke and ruins.

As the smoke cleared, the Minotaur Commander stood tall, its body charred black, panting heavily. It looked quite disheveled, but not badly injured. It touched the wound on its shoulder, glaring angrily at Zhang Shi. Clearly, the culprit who caused the injury angered it the most, and this time its target had shifted to Zhang Shi.

Wu Qing activated the Staff of Ancestors, summoning the Taunt Totem. The Minotaur Commander felt a wave of dizziness, and then, upon seeing the Taunt Totem in the formation, a sudden surge of even stronger anger welled up within him, making him want to smash that wooden carving with a smiling face to pieces.

Immediately, it changed its target again and began to attack the blue-glowing totem pole frantically. In just a few rounds, the taunt totem's protective shield was about to collapse.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng quietly approached the Bull-Head Commander from behind, and the two attacked together, heading straight for the Bull-Head.

Although the Minotaur Commander's rage clouded his judgment, his instincts remained. He swung his giant axe, spinning in place, creating a whirlwind that forced the two back. At the same time, the protective shield was breached, and the taunt totem was cleaved in two by the axe, its taunt effect dissipating. The Minotaur Commander regained his senses and instantly charged towards Zhang Shi, launching an attack.

"Swish swish swish!"

Countless sharp icicles rained down from the sky—Ge Dalong's blizzard was upon them. The Bull-Headed Commander was forced to halt his attack once more, swinging his great axe to defend himself.

The ice spikes were exceptionally sharp and dense, and many cuts quickly appeared on the Minotaur Commander's arm. The power of the ice began to spread from its arm to its entire body, and its movements noticeably slowed down.

How could Zhang Shi miss such an opportunity? He took out his composite bow and fired a series of arrows at the Bull-Headed Commander. In just an instant, the Bull-Headed Commander was covered in arrows, looking like a hedgehog.

Unfortunately, the old ox had tough hide and firm muscles, and the arrow got stuck in its flesh, preventing it from causing fatal damage.

After the blizzard subsided, the Minotaur Commander was furious.

It held a giant axe in one hand, roared to the sky, and then its body emitted bursts of white light. Several bolts of lightning followed, striking Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng on the head in an instant.

The lightning was too fast for the two to react. The next moment, Zhang Shi felt a tingling sensation throughout his body. Although the black light armor helped him resist a lot of magical damage, the burning sensation at that moment still made Zhang Shi extremely uncomfortable, and he almost lost his mind.

Zhao Feng's situation was even worse. The Golden Essence Stone Heavy Armor had no special defensive effect against magical attacks. He managed to withstand the blow thanks to his strong physique. Although he didn't die, he wouldn't wake up for a while.

Clearly, this lightning bolt was the Minotaur's ultimate move. After unleashing this attack, it knelt on the ground, leaning on its great axe, beads of sweat dripping down its face, and it no longer had the strength to attack.

This sudden powerful attack left Wu Qing and Ge Dalong completely bewildered. After they came to their senses, they quickly ordered their soldiers to provide ranged support to the boss, hoping to hold it off and rescue Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng.

Unfortunately, the magic cannons were long gone, and the remaining muskets were completely ineffective against it. Ge Dalong desperately unleashed ice spikes and water walls at the Minotaur Commander to buy time, but with little success. This boss had high defense and health; it protected its head with its hands and slowly walked towards Zhang Shi, enduring the ice spikes, seemingly determined to fight him to the death today.

Wu Qing had already released the protective knot on Zhang Shi, and Zhang Shi's mind was gradually returning to normal. However, the Bull-Headed Commander had already arrived in front of him.

At the critical moment, a beam of white light shot out from the white tiger on Zhang Shi's chest. It was Pipi who came out of the white tiger space and rushed to the face of the bull-headed commander.

The Minotaur Commander hadn't expected Zhang Shi to have a backup plan even after things had come to this point. Unable to dodge in time, Pipi scratched a bloody mark on its face. With a swift movement, it slapped Pipi away, and just as it was about to swing its great axe with its other hand, it suddenly felt its hand go empty. Turning its head, it discovered that its arm, which was holding the weapon, had been severed. Looking towards Zhang Shi, it saw a gleaming kitchen knife pressed against its face.
