Swish!
In the instant Lu Ming drew his sword, a shadow of the blade pierced through the body of the Saber-toothed Tiger King.
-29280!
Roar!
With a fierce roar, the Saber-toothed Tiger King's health bar suddenly dropped by 10%, enraging it instantly as it charged towards Lu Ming with its massive jaws wide open!
On either side, the Undead Warriors summoned by Lu Ming, fortified with War Tread and Life Barrier, rushed towards the Saber-toothed Tiger King.
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
Dozens of Soul Shatter attacks simultaneously erupted within the Saber-toothed Tiger King.
-2236!
-2236!
-2236!
...
The Saber-toothed Tiger King's 2800 armor points were simply too high.
Even with the 4440 attack power boost from Lu Ming's War Tread, the damage dealt by the Undead Warriors was quite limited.
Dozens of Soul Shatters combined only managed to deplete a tenth of the Saber-toothed Tiger King's health.
Meanwhile, the Saber-toothed Tiger King unleashed its skill—D-level Berserk Roar!
Roar—
Accompanied by a continuous fierce roar, powerful sound waves erupted from the Saber-toothed Tiger King's mouth.
All around, the Undead Warriors, stunned by the sound waves, saw damage numbers as high as 6000+ pop up above their heads!
Even with the protection of Lu Ming's twentyfold enhanced E-level Life Barrier and the 14880 shield from Lu Ming's tenfold health limit, the Undead Warriors couldn't withstand such sustained damage.
In an instant, dozens of Undead Warriors around were all slain by the Saber-toothed Tiger King!
This formidable strength made Lu Ming break out in a cold sweat.
But at the same time, the Man-Eating Ant Hat's Strong Acid Rebound effect was triggered, causing the Saber-toothed Tiger King to suffer 160% damage reflection while dealing damage to the Undead Warriors.
Accumulating over 200,000 points of reflected damage, the Saber-toothed Tiger King was instantly killed!
Boom!
As the massive body of the Saber-toothed Tiger King crashed to the ground.

A pleasant system notification sounded in Lu Ming's ear.
[Ding~ Killed level 30 Silver BOSS Savage Saber-toothed Tiger King, Experience Points +420000!]
Lu Ming was stunned.
"You can actually play like this?"
Just a moment ago, Lu Ming felt a bit regretful about the sacrifice of those dozen Undead Warriors.
But looking at it now, they died for a worthy cause!
It was truly unexpected; even the Silver-level BOSS itself probably didn't anticipate such a hasty demise!
On the other side, when Qin Churan turned around and saw that the Silver-level BOSS, which had just been summoned, had vanished in the blink of an eye, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"What the hell?"
"A level 30 Silver BOSS, taken out instantly??"
"Is it really that exaggerated..."
On Lu Ming's side, after claiming the BOSS reward of 420,000 experience points, his experience bar shot up from 63% to 84%!
"It seems that if I take down another BOSS, I can safely level up to 20!"
With this thought, Lu Ming quickly looted the drops from the Saber-toothed Tiger King.
There was no time to carefully check what had dropped; he just threw everything into his bag.
Then he immediately crushed another Silver BOSS summoning scroll.
Whoosh!
As the barrier opened, a second Savage Saber-toothed Tiger King appeared.
Meanwhile, outside the Viper Cave.
The Dragon Soul players stationed at the entrance seemed to sense something unusual.
"Did you hear any sounds from inside just now?"
"Such intense roaring, and a slight tremor—could it be that they're fighting the vipers inside?"
"This is a level 42 map; how could a mere level 30-something Assassin possibly kill a level 42 viper?"
"They probably won't need us to act; the vipers inside will take care of them."
As everyone chatted and laughed.
Dragon Soul Guan Yu seemed to realize something, his expression suddenly turning serious.
"No, that's not the sound of a snake; something's happening inside!"
"Send a team in to check it out!"
"Yes!"
Deep within the cave.
With the second Silver-level BOSS Saber-toothed Tiger King summoned, Lu Ming intended to use the same method, sacrificing a dozen Undead Warriors to use the equipment passive Strong Acid Rebound to counter-kill the BOSS.
But unexpectedly, each Saber-toothed Tiger King seemed to share some sort of consciousness.
This Saber-toothed Tiger King seemed to understand the reflective damage trait of the Undead Warriors and stubbornly refused to use the AOE skill Berserk Roar!
Instead, it switched from offense to defense.
No longer launching fierce attacks, it used various defensive skills to withstand the attacks from the Undead Warriors!
Clearly, it was stalling for time.
Because if Lu Ming couldn't kill it in ten minutes, it would escape.
"Didn't expect this beast to be quite clever!"
Unfortunately, being clever wasn't enough; it couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Undead Legion.
Even if the Undead Legion wasn't used, relying solely on Lu Ming's once-per-minute Sword Draw, he could unleash ten Sword Draws in ten minutes.
With each Sword Draw dealing 29,000 damage, ten Sword Draws would be enough to kill the Saber-toothed Tiger King with over 280,000 health points!
However, Lu Ming wanted a quick victory, so he summoned all the Undead Warriors, employing a swarm tactic.
The Saber-toothed Tiger King refused to attack the Undead Warriors.
The damage from the Undead Warriors alone wasn't enough to pose a significant threat to the Saber-toothed Tiger King.
Time wasn't a concern; as long as the BOSS could be killed within ten minutes, it would be fine.
But during this slow-moving battle.
Lu Ming suddenly saw through the Shared Vision of the Undead Warriors guarding the cave entrance that Dragon Soul players had broken in!
The Undead Warriors didn't even have time to escape and were instantly slaughtered by the Dragon Soul players!
Lu Ming's brow furrowed immediately.
"They're in!"
"Damn it..."
With the battle halfway through and unable to relocate, Lu Ming could only speed up, trying to finish off the Saber-toothed Tiger King before the Dragon Soul players arrived.
But he was ultimately a step too slow.
Hearing the commotion behind him.
Lu Ming turned to see a group of level 50 Dragon Soul players easily breaking through the defensive line formed by the Undead Warriors and charging in!
Seeing Lu Ming commanding the Undead Legion to besiege the Saber-toothed Tiger King in the cave, the Dragon Soul players couldn't help but feel amazed.
"Really taking it easy, huh? At a time like this, this guy still has the mind to hide here and kill a BOSS? Is he planning to enjoy one last BOSS kill before dying?"
"Wait! In the level 42 Viper Cave, where did a level 30 Saber-toothed Tiger BOSS come from?"
"It must be a BOSS summoning scroll collected from the Western Farm!"
"This BOSS is worth a hundred thousand on the market! Let's kill that Trickster and God Slayer, Moon, then call a few level 30 brothers to take this BOSS, and we'll make a fortune!"
"Brothers, let's go! Kill them!"
With these words.
The Dragon Soul players excitedly charged towards Lu Ming and Qin Churan.
In the face of danger, Qin Churan looked at Lu Ming: "Can you tell me what your plan is?"
"I don't mind dying, but I don't want to die without knowing why!"
While using Sword Draw and the Undead Legion to deplete the BOSS's health, Lu Ming glanced at the anxious Qin Churan and said, "Take down the BOSS, level up to 20, and I can handle Dragon Soul."
As soon as Lu Ming said this.
Qin Churan didn't doubt the truth of Lu Ming's words at all!
"Alright, I'll hold them off!"
With that, Qin Churan slashed the last remaining viper in front of her.
As if suddenly making a decision.
She turned, gripped her dagger tightly, and resolutely charged towards the Dragon Soul players, who were a full 17 levels above her!
