Chapter 288: Lord-Level BOSS
Translator: 549690339
Song Jian had chosen a place teeming with water plants. It was hard to spot a person hidden behind the rocks unless one looked carefully.
Six and a half minutes quickly passed and Song Jian imdiately activated the Black Pearl, instantly wrapping himself in a bubble of air.
As ti ticked by, the troop of Fishhead Monster Guardians began swimming upstream to the lake’s surface, ready to switch shifts with another troop.
Song Jian too, slowly left the rocks and swam towards the main camp’s stone cave at the bottom of the lake. According to the treasure map, the “Eye of the Fire God” was hidden inside this cave.
As Song Jian swam to only about 11 or 12 ters from the cave’s entrance, a sharp screech echoed from the shore of Jinyang Lake. A disheveled small fishhead monster was stumbling towards the lake, screaming loudly as it ran.
If Song Jian could see it, he would recognize it as the very sa fishhead monster that had escaped him before.
Alard by the small fishhead monster’s warning, the troops guarding the fishhead monster’s main camp imdiately plunged into chaos. They all jumped into the water and began to frantically search their surroundings. Upon hearing the commotion overhead, Song Jian’s heart sank. He imdiately quickened his speed towards the stone cave. Suddenly, a sharp piercing sound echoed from behind him. He turned his head to see a harpoon whizzing through the water towards him, leaving a long trail in its wake.
Song Jian veered sideways as the harpoon flew past him, embedding itself deeply into a stone at the bottom of the lake.
“I’ve been discovered!” Song Jian internally panicked as he turned to see a small squad of fishhead monster guardians swimming towards him rapidly.
Underwater, these fishhead monster guardians were swift, their abilities having evolved considerably, comparable to level twenty monsters.
To fight against a squad of fishhead monster guardians comparable to level twenty monsters, Song Jian might be able to annihilate them given so ti. However, where was he? This was the fishhead monster’s main camp. If fighting were to break out, it would surely attract other fishhead monster guardians. He might be able to take on three or five, but as the numbers grew, even ants could kill an elephant. By then, he would probably not even have a chance to escape.
With this in mind, Song Jian imdiately swam towards the nearby cave. Only by entering there could he escape the pursuit of these fishhead monsters.
The invaders identified, within monts, a dozen or so fishhead monster guardians were hot on Song Jian’s tail. Their movent also alard the surrounding water elents. Massive amounts of water elents began to converge in their direction. Two light blue water elents even appeared ahead of Song Jian.
At this point, Song Jian had no choice but to plunge forward.
Soon, Song Jian entered the alert range of the two water elents. They turned around and began preparing Frost Arrows to shoot at Song Jian.
Frost Arrows did not cause much damage, but they had an extrely annoying effect – chill delay. If they hit the target, it could slow the target’s movent speed by 40%. Once hit, the target would be stuck until death.
Song Jian quickly took cover behind a rock. The Frost Arrows left a long, white, frozen track in the water before smashing into the rock.
Soon, a thin layer of frost covered the surface of the human-height rock, imdiately lowering the surrounding water temperature by five to six degrees.
Song Jian’s eyebrows knitted in a frown. The two water elents were blocking the entrance of the cave. To get inside, he would have to defeat those two water elents first.
However, these two water elents were also level fifteen monsters. Moreover, they were underwater, all their attacks carried the chill delay effect. Even if he could ultimately defeat them, the ti it would take for that would be enough for the fishhead monsters and water elents behind him to catch up. When that happened, death would be inevitable.
Just then, a frosty white ice elental Boss, made up of heavy ice blocks, slowly walked towards his location from about a dozen ters away from the cave.
This Ice Elental Boss’s body was a full circle bigger than the regular water elents. Its eyes, like two huge sapphires, shimred brilliantly. Its body was covered with an armor made of solidified ice blocks. In its hands, it tightly held a pale gold trident.
“LV15 Ice Elental Overlord Frendzal (Overlord), Vitality Points: 4800/4800, Traits: Enhanced Coldness, Bloodline of Frost, Skills: Intimidate, Dominion, Frosty Current, Chilling Beam, Trident of the God of War.”
“A Lord level Boss?” Song Jian was shocked and quickly shrunk behind the rock, for this was the very first Lord level Boss he had ever encountered.
The two water elents didn’t give up attacking Song Jian and kept summoning Frost Arrows. At this mont, the Ice Elental Overlord walked over and upon seeing the two water elents, stopped in its tracks, raising its trident in their direction.
The Frost Arrow that had already been conjured imdiately disintegrated into scattered water elental energy. The two water elents looked surprised and turned to look at the Ice Elental Overlord.
Upon seeing the Ice Elental Overlord, the two water elents quickly bowed in courtesy and slowly backed away, not even daring to speak.
The mont the Ice Elental Overlord appeared, all the water elents tailing Song Jian instantly stopped in their tracks, bending their bodies in his direction. They did not dare to move a step closer.
The Ice Elental Overlord commanded all the water elents in Jinyang Lake, but the fishhead monsters were not under its control.
Seeing the Ice Elental Overlord, the pursuing fishhead monsters also began to panic. They dared not continue their chase, fearing that they would cause a misunderstanding with the Ice Elental Overlord and get themselves killed.
Until a Lord level Boss appeared among the Fishhead Monsters, they wouldn t dare to approach this Elental Master of Ice in the middle of the lake.
“I hope it hasn’t noticed …” Song Jian nervously hid himself behind the rock and in the dense underwater grass. A battle with this Elental Master of Ice underwater was pure suicide, unless he could lure it onto the land where he stood a chance of killing it.
“This is a Lord level Boss, surely it will drop so good stuff after I kill it.” Song Jian’s eyes glowed as he stared at the slowly approaching Elental Master of Ice.
But with his current strength, killing the Elental Master of Ice underwater was nothing short of fantasy. All he could hope for was that its alert range wasn’t too large to discover his presence behind the rock.
Son, the Ice Elental Overlord slowly moved away from the cave entrance and began his routine patrol around Jinyang Lake. As he started to fade out of sight, the fishhead monsters and water elents behind him beca jittery. Song Jian imdiately ca out from behind the rock and swam towards the cave, followed by a swarm of monsters. The water elents in the vicinity also began casting Frost Arrows. Song Jian had to swim towards the cave with all his might, knowing that even a single hit from the horde of monsters could cost him his life.
As Song Jian entered the cave, he felt like he had passed through a thin mbrane. The cave was very dry, and the transparent mbrane at the entrance kept all the water out.
