"boss!"
Besides being several times larger than the other demonized treants, this boss also has a terrifying ghost face on its trunk. Strangely, the withered trunk is covered with seven or eight branches full of life.
These branches swayed up and down, like writhing slender snakes.
"It seems that this corrupted, withered tree spirit king is the final boss guarding the first level of this secret realm. But this boss's attributes are a bit terrifying."
Wang Ming then looked at his character attributes.

......
The monsters within this secret realm, like the corrupted treants outside, have an extremely high probability of triggering Soul Devouring.
After killing countless monsters on the first level of the secret realm, Wang Ming stole dozens of attribute points. In addition, after killing the uncorrupted withered tree spirits for several hours, Wang Ming's attributes also improved significantly.
"Defense of 107 points is still very low compared to the boss's attack, but with two types of health recovery potions, it's barely enough to fight back. However, we still need to be careful of the boss's skills."
"Roar~"
Before Wang Ming could think it through, the boss roared and attacked him first.
Suddenly, the boss stretched out a vibrant branch and lashed it out at Wang Ming. Upon seeing this, Wang Ming quickly retreated to dodge.
“mISS”.
Having dodged the attack, Wang Ming did not stop, but continued to retreat. Soon, Wang Ming controlled the distance between himself and the boss to the maximum distance of 20 meters.
Wang Ming took out a dart and shot it at the boss.
-1!
-143.
-55.
-46.
-52.
-107.
...
"It's a critical hit." Wang Ming looked at the red forced 1 point of damage and was somewhat surprised. Then he glanced at his character's special attributes.
Critical hit chance: 2.75%
The critical hit rate is almost 3%, no wonder the first hit triggered a critical hit. It's just a pity that the additional damage from bare hands is fixed and only related to one's own base attribute value; other attributes don't get any bonus.
"Roar~"
Seeing Wang Ming moving away from him, the boss roared, and the seven or eight vibrant branches grew longer in the wind.
Then, the boss swung its branches and attacked Wang Ming.
Wang Ming retreated again, trying to dodge the boss's attack, but as soon as he lifted his foot, the boss's branches came crashing down on him with a whistling sound.
"The speed has increased, and the attack range has also increased." In desperation, Wang Ming did a side somersault and rolled to the left, but that was the result; Wang Ming still took a hit from the boss.
“mISS”.
-135.
-135.
...
"System notification: You have been attacked by the corrupted Treant King, HP -135."
"System notification: You have been attacked by the corrupted Treant King, HP -135."
...
It turned out that the boss's attack activated four branches. Although Wang Ming dodged the first branch, after rolling, the other three branches fell one after another and all hit Wang Ming.
"I made a mistake. This boss's attack range is farther than mine. This way, I can't hit the boss and instead become its target. I can only fight it hand-to-hand."
Seeing the boss waving its branches, Wang Ming understood what was going on. He then used a basic health recovery potion and a basic instant health recovery potion before rushing towards the boss.
Seeing Wang Ming charging towards him, the boss swung its branches, repeatedly striking Wang Ming. Wang Ming dodged left and right, avoiding most of the attacks, and finally reached the boss's side.
Then, Wang Ming threw a punch at the boss.
-172!
-143.
-55.
-46.
-52.
-107.
...
Another critical hit!
"That's right, I am the Chaos Fist Master, and my own damage is not low."
Wang Ming's eyes gleamed as he relentlessly attacked the boss. However, the boss's long branches, unable to be used effectively, became a hindrance instead.
Suddenly, the boss became the target of the attack.
"Roar~"
The boss roared, and seven or eight branches rapidly shortened, then spun 360 degrees in place. Wang Ming was caught off guard and was knocked away by the boss.
-405.
"System notification: You have been hit by the corrupted Treant King's skill - Sweeping Attack, HP -405."
"Ouch, that hurts! That attack took away a third of my health." Wang Ming used another life-restoring potion and then charged towards the boss.
After a dozen or so rounds, the boss's health had dropped by half, while Wang Ming's health was kept at around 900 points.
Seeing how difficult Wang Ming was to deal with, the boss's branches stopped lashing at Wang Ming and instead began to twist rapidly.
Seeing this, Wang Ming knew that the boss was about to unleash an entangling skill, so he quickly gave up attacking and tried to dodge the branches. However, there were too many branches, and Wang Ming was eventually caught up by the boss's branches.
-203.
-203.
-203.
...
"System notification: You have been attacked by the corrupted Treant King's skill - Entangling Attack, HP -203, HP -203..."
A series of damage numbers appeared above Wang Ming's head, and his health dropped rapidly.
Wang Ming was unable to use instant health potions because he was entangled by the boss. Fortunately, he kept using basic health recovery potions, and with his own health regeneration, he was not killed by the boss.
A few seconds later, the boss's entanglement skill ended, and Wang Ming broke free from the boss's control.
Wang Ming quickly used an instant recovery potion, and his health gradually returned to normal. Then, Wang Ming attacked the boss.
Despite using every trick in the book, the boss was still unable to kill Wang Ming.
Wang Ming was overjoyed, knowing that defeating the boss was only a matter of time.
A dozen minutes later, the boss's health was reduced to less than 3,000 points.
But then, another accident occurred, this time not because of the boss, but from an external source.
"Warning: Due to force majeure, you are about to be disconnected from the server. Please exit the game within 5 minutes. If you do not exit within 5 minutes, you will be forcibly kicked out of the game."
"Warning: Due to force majeure, you are about to be disconnected from the server. Please exit the game within 5 minutes. If you do not exit within 5 minutes, you will be forcibly kicked out of the game."
"warn,......"
"Damn it, I've lost track of time." Wang Ming was anxious, but there was nothing he could do but keep attacking the boss, trying to kill it within 5 minutes.
5 minutes.
4 minutes.
3 minutes.
...
The boss's health was decreasing, but time was also passing. With only one minute left, Wang Ming gave up dodging and traded blows with the boss.
60 seconds.
50 seconds.
...
"Roar~" Finally, with 37 seconds left, the boss let out a final roar and then collapsed to the ground.
"System notification: Congratulations on defeating the Yellow-rank boss, the corrupted Tree Demon King. You have gained 4000 experience points, an additional 800 experience points + 2000 experience points, 30 silver coins, and +10 merit points."
"System notification: Your cultivation technique - Soul Devouring has been successfully activated, granting you 5 points of Strength, 2 points of Spirit, and 3 points of Stamina."
"System notification: Congratulations, your level has increased to level 7, and you have gained 20 health points, 10 mana points, and 5 free attribute points."
With a flash of golden light, Wang Ming leveled up to level 7.
But Wang Ming couldn't care less about that now. After collecting all the items dropped by the boss, he used the portal to leave the secret realm.
