Chapter 345 - 164: Annihilating the Boss, Leveling Up, Unexpectedly Colossal Gains
BOOM!
In an instant, a special skill that multiplied attack power by a hundred was copied onto every Defense Tower. Then, the Ten Thousand Linked Bonds activated, unleashing all their various Attributes and Bond effects.
WHOOSH!
In the blink of an eye, a massive volley of attacks rained down on the giant bat, whose movements were restricted by [Cyan Sparrow].
BOOM!
Boosted by the immense skill effects, the power of Shen Fei’s various Defense Towers was even greater than the previous Cluster Attack from a hundred towers. As countless people watched, the giant bat, pinned by Cyan Sparrow, had its health bar instantly depleted.
BOOM!
[You have killed the level 100 boss, Extreme Yin Bat King. Experience +1,000,000,000 (1 Billion)!]
[Ding! You have obtained a Blood Race Blood Origin Stone!]
The boss was blasted directly into dust, and Shen Fei’s personal panel automatically opened, displaying two lines of text.
This boss gives so much experience? And it drops loot after it dies? Is it a guaranteed drop from bosses, or did my special loot-drop mechanic kick in again?
The boss had been instantly annihilated, just as expected, and the thought surfaced in Shen Fei’s mind. At the same time, he commanded the Vine Tower beside him. It grew a long vine that reached out 70 kilometers to retrieve a fist-sized, red, spherical stone—the loot dropped by the giant bat upon its death—and brought it into his hand.
A wave of commotion rippled through the crowd.
Shen Fei lowered his head to look at the newly obtained Blood Origin Stone.
Meanwhile, the members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang on the walls of Qing City erupted in cheers. Their own attacks had failed to even make the boss’s health bar appear—it had taken a combined assault from everyone just to display it. Now, they had just watched Shen Fei kill that same boss in a single hit. Originally, seeing that their ten thousand-plus Defense Towers combined had only managed to shave off a tenth of a single boss’s health, they had feared that these 32 bosses would be an arduous fight. No one had expected that, even when facing such a powerful boss, Shen Fei could still kill it in one shot. It was as if there was no limit to Shen Fei’s attack power.
A similar uproar swept across Great Xia. People elsewhere had tried all sorts of attacks on the new bosses, only to see a health bar appear in a few rare locations, and they were extremely worried. But through the live broadcast on the Forum, they saw Shen Fei still pulling off instant kills, and everyone erupted in cheers.
Countless people began calculating travel times in the thread hosted by Sun Yu, trying to figure out how long it would take for "their local boss" to arrive. Then, based on the arrival times, they created a schedule for Brother Chongtian to annihilate the bosses one by one. The plan was simple: Shen Fei would kill the bosses that were closer first, and then the ones farther away.

[Name: Blood Race Blood Origin Stone]
[Effect: Can be used for Refining the Blood Race bloodline and replenishing Blood Race power. Upon use, one can transform their race and change their bloodline...]
[Status: Special Version Item. Currently unusable!]
"Holy shit!"
On the walls of Qing City, Shen Fei examined the item dropped by the giant bat, not expecting to see yet another "Currently unusable!" tag. Moreover, looking at the [Blood Origin Stone]’s Attributes, he could tell at a glance.
This damn thing is an item from Version 4.6!
He’d just been thinking about accelerating the version update. He never imagined an item from Version 4.6 would show up this soon!
Holy shit! Version 4.6 is exactly when...
After quickly checking the item’s Attributes, Shen Fei was about to mutter to himself when he heard Sun Yu’s frantic shouts from beside him.
"Boss!!"
"Boss!!"
"Boss!!! Look, quick!!"
"There’s another health bar!!"
"The Monster Nest that the giant bat just charged out of—its Invincible status is gone! It’s showing a health bar now!!!"
Sun Yu’s yelling snapped Shen Fei out of his thoughts about Version 4.6. Using his Detection Tower, he looked and, sure enough, saw a health bar and a name appear above a Monster Nest 80 kilometers away:
[Name: Bat Nest]
[Health: 10,000,000,000/10,000,000,000]
.
When a monster boss died, the Invincible status on its Monster Nest disappeared, immediately revealing a health bar that could be attacked.
After the monster tide is dealt with and the boss is dead, the Monster Nest can be destroyed?
The thought surfaced in Shen Fei’s mind as he stared at the newly appeared health bar. In his past life, he was at the bottom of the ladder and had never even entered a Neutral City. Naturally, he had no idea that after a monster tide near a Neutral City ended, there was a rule allowing the Monster Nest to be destroyed. Clearly, the sudden appearance of this health bar was telling players that there was a way to deal with the all-out monster tide of Version 4.1 from a position of strength.
As long as a Monster Nest exists, it will spawn a small wave of monsters every three days and a large wave every seven days. But if the Monster Nest is destroyed, the monster tides will no longer spawn. This... this was a good rule!
Kill the bosses first!
The moment he saw the health bar, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Fei’s mind. However, he didn’t rush into a decision. Instead, he directed his Defense Towers to attack the other 31 bosses around Qing City. He still had to think about whether or not to attack the Monster Nest.
Destroying the Monster Nest would indeed stop the periodic monster tides from spawning. But in truth, having monster tides to practice on, and later, to level up with, was also necessary. Destroying it had its advantages, but letting it exist also had its benefits. Of course, a Monster Nest with 10 billion health wouldn’t be easy to destroy anyway. Its health was just too high.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Thinking quickly, Shen Fei adjusted his mindset and continued annihilating the other bosses.
[You have killed the level 100 boss, Burrow Zombie King. Experience +1,000,000,000 (1 Billion)!]
[Ding! You have obtained a Corpse Race Corpse Origin Stone!]
.
[You have killed the level 100 boss, Lustful Ram King. Experience +1,000,000,000 (1 Billion)!]
[Ding! You have obtained a Lustful Sheep Race Sheep Origin Stone!]
.
[You have killed the level 100 boss, Thunderstorm White Tiger King. Experience +1,000,000,000 (1 Billion)!]
[Ding! You have obtained a Tiger Race Tiger Roar Stone!]
.
Under Shen Fei’s swift command, the 31 bosses that had been running rampant around Qing City were rapidly eliminated.
