Chapter 122
The ferocious beast king suddenly burst forth from the northeastern woods, its dark fur like a runaway shadow sweeping across the decaying leaves, its 5-meter-long body carrying an overwhelming force—
Completely ignoring Robot 1's manganese crystal shield, it slammed its front paws hard on the edge of the shield, tilting it with a "clang," its target aimed directly at the blue deer protecting the innermost side.
Clearly, the pale blue aura barrier continuously released by the blue deer became the most obstructive defense in its eyes. In its wide-open maw, 15-centimeter-long venomous fangs gleamed coldly, and saliva dripped onto the ground, instantly corroding small pits and carrying a nauseating fishy smell.
Before the green deer could fully retract its barrier, it was slammed hard into the side by the ferocious beast king's front paw.
The light blue aura barrier shattered with a "crack," dissipating like broken jade. The green deer, like a leaf caught in a gale, flew straight for 3 meters before crashing heavily into a pile of decaying leaves. Pale pink blood spilled from its mouth, splattering onto the leaves and instantly spreading out.
It struggled to raise its head, and beneath its light blue fur, a 10-centimeter-long gash was torn open on its side, revealing pale pink flesh. Yet, it still stubbornly raised its short horn, the tip of which gleamed with a faint blue light, showing no sign of retreating.
"Azure Deer!" Su Jing's pupils contracted sharply, and cold sweat instantly soaked the grip of the laser gun in her palms, but she remained completely calm—
The ore stream that had gathered in front of her earlier was already restless. The deep purple of manganese crystals and the dark red of hematite intertwined wildly according to her will, and quickly condensed into a shape 1 meter in front of her: a 3-meter-long metal spear with a silver-gray body, a sharp triangular spearhead, and a cold light at the tip. The spear shaft was wrapped with a half-finger-wide metal ridge, which not only enhanced the grip but also prevented slipping.
Her arm muscles tensed as she aimed the metal spear at the beast king's exposed left eye, revealed by its painful roar. "Throw!" she shouted, and the metal spear, like lightning, sliced through the air, precisely piercing the beast king's left eye socket. Dark red blood gushed out instantly, splattering onto the decaying leaves with a sizzling sound.
The ferocious beast king let out a deafening roar of pain, its left claws frantically clawing at its eyes, only tearing the wound wider, the shattered eyeball dripping with blood.
Its movements became chaotic for a moment, and as it spun in place, its left hind leg was inadvertently exposed to the black bear—the black bear had already rushed out from beside the shield, its massive body pouncing with immense force, its 10-centimeter-long black claws digging deep into the beast king's leg flesh, its sharp teeth biting into the hamstring.
With a sharp "crack," the hamstring was severed, and the beast king's left hind leg instantly went limp, unable to support its body weight any longer. It could only stand on three legs with difficulty, its roar filled with pain and madness.
"Now!" Su Jing shouted at the blue deer, and at the same time pressed the trigger of the laser gun—the pale red laser beam accurately hit the beast king's right shoulder, which was its weak point exposed when it was frenzied. The high temperature instantly burned through the fur, leaving a small charred hole.
With its injured side dragging, the blue deer struggled to its feet. Its light blue antlers gleamed even brighter than before. It charged suddenly toward the belly of the ferocious beast king—where the fur was thinnest and the old scratches from the Earth-Splitting Wolf still remained.
The antlers plunged in hard, and pale pink blood flowed down the antlers. The roar of the ferocious beast king weakened instantly. On Su Jing's communicator, its health bar dropped rapidly to 28%, and a scarlet "Berserk" notification popped up instantly: [The ferocious beast king has entered a berserk state, attack power +100%, defense +50%, lasting 5 minutes].
After going berserk, the ferocious beast king's muscles bulged, its dark fur stood on end, the blood flow at its wounds slowed down significantly, and the severed tendon in its left hind leg seemed to be forcibly tightened.
It suddenly flung away the black bear that was biting its throat, and its right paw slashed at Su Jing with afterimages, twice as fast as before.
Robot No. 3 instantly moved in front of Su Jing, unfolded a portable shield, and with a "bang," slammed its claws into the shield, leaving five deep claw marks. The energy ripples on the surface of the shield pulsated violently, but it was not shattered.
"Number 4, attack its right foreleg joint!" Su Jing seized the opportunity to turn to the side and once again activated her mineral power—this time, she condensed two half-meter-long metal daggers. She threw the daggers at the black bear, "Catch it! Slash its old abdominal wound!"
The black bear caught the short blade precisely, gripped the hilt with its huge claws, and pounced on the beast king's belly again. The short blade pierced the old wound, and dark red blood gushed out.
The green deer exerted its strength again, pressing its antlers against the lower part of the beast king's throat, its vital breathing passage. The beast king's roar instantly became hoarse, and its claw movements became increasingly weak.
Seeing this, Su Jing took out a Qi Gathering Pill from her spatial storage and put it in her mouth to replenish her depleted mental energy. Then she raised the laser gun and aimed it at the Beast King's right eye—its only remaining visual organ.
A pale red laser beam shot out in succession, striking the beast king's right eye three times. The eyeball shattered completely, rendering the beast king blind and leaving it only able to flail its claws wildly. The black bear seized the opportunity, biting down on its throat and tearing fiercely, while the blue deer pressed its antlers against its heart and exerted tremendous force—with a "thud," the antlers pierced its chest. The beast king's body stiffened abruptly before collapsing heavily to the ground.
Dark red blood spread across the decaying leaves, the berserk state instantly dissipated, and the massive body remained motionless.
Panting, Su Jing walked to the green deer, took out a healing pill from her spatial storage, crushed it, and applied it to the wound on its side.
When the pale green powdered medicine came into contact with the wound, the bleeding stopped instantly, and the edges of the wound even began to glow faintly red, indicating that the medicine was accelerating the healing process.
Just as she was about to check on the black bear, the communicator on her wrist suddenly emitted a golden light, and a warm notification popped up: [Detected that you and 5 friendly monsters (Tier 1 Treasure-Hunting Rat Little Gold, Tier 2 Green Deer, Tier 3 Black Bear, Tier 1 Spirit Grass Rat, Tier 1 Grass-Protecting Rabbit) jointly killed the dungeon BOSS Ferocious Beast King, with a cooperation rate of 100% and all monsters' favorability increased to "Intimate"!]
Unlock the passive skill "Monster Synergy": Friendly monsters in the intimacy state will actively cooperate with your combat and gathering commands, and can share some of their perception (such as Xiao Jin's spirit herb detection and Qing Lu's danger warning)].
Su Jing was stunned for a moment before she remembered that when she was collecting spirit herbs before, she had helped two first-tier little monsters—the spirit herb rat helped her find the Qi-gathering grass hidden under the tree roots, and the grass-guarding rabbit helped her clear the poisonous vines around the spirit herbs. At that time, she only gained "friendly" favorability, but she did not expect that this time when they killed the BOSS together, their favorability was raised to "intimate".
At this moment, Little Gold ran out from behind Robot No. 5's shield, jumped onto her shoulder, and happily rubbed her cheek; Black Bear walked to her side and gently rubbed his forehead against her arm, and the old wound on his left shoulder seemed less ferocious because of the victory;
Qinglu lowered her head and licked her palm. Under her pale blue fur, the wound on her side had already scabbed over.
In the distance, two small figures came running quickly from the woods—the Spirit Grass Rat carrying a plump Qi-gathering Grass seed, and the Grass-guarding Rabbit carrying a pale golden Spirit Grass leaf. They ran to Su Jing's feet, placed the gift in front of her, and their bright black eyes were full of affection.
