Chapter 1076 - Chapter 1076 Chapter 1078 Sandstorm Lord_1

Chapter 1076: Chapter 1078: Sandstorm Lord_1 Chapter 1076: Chapter 1078: Sandstorm Lord_1 Song Jian crawled out of the sleeping bag, and by then the robot Nafiboja had already transformed back into its previous shape that was best for evasion and running. It lay prone on the dune, pointing ahead and motioning Song Jian with a wave of its hand.

“Quick, look over there, a King Level BOSS is heading our way…” Nafiboja whispered.

Song Jian was startled and quickly packed up his sleeping bag, then lay down next to Nafiboja, squinting into the distance ahead.

The surroundings were dark, and squinting, Song Jian could make out a huge figure in the distance using the faint starlight. It was over ten meters tall and looked like a massive tornado slowly moving through the Golden Desert.

Such a huge body moved through the desert making only a slight sound, which Song Jian found odd. When the creature entered his field of vision, he realized it was an elemental monster that could flow and walk on the surface of the desert.

“Sandstorm Lord, a King Level BOSS, level one hundred, with over ten million Vitality Points? Damn it, how did we run into such a terrifying creature?” Song Jian couldn’t help but curse, “Isn’t this supposed to be an area with level sixty to seventy monsters? Why is there a level one hundred King Level BOSS here?”

“This is a mutated King Level monster. Ordinary Sandstorm Lords are indeed only level sixty and are considered elite BOSSes. They have to be killed consecutively three times to be completely defeated…” Nafiboja said softly, “This King Level BOSS probably needs to be killed over ten times to be completely destroyed. It’s advised not to engage in a head-on conflict; evasion is the best strategy…”

“Killed over ten times? Wouldn’t that convert to over a hundred million Vitality Points?” Song Jian exclaimed in horror.

“Every time it is killed, its Vitality Point maximum will decrease, and its attributes will weaken. It’s not reviving at full strength!” Nafiboja explained.

“That’s still amazing. How could there be such a terrifying BOSS…” Song Jian’s face turned ugly. He had been thinking about using the Thousand Swords Art to devour this King Level BOSS and convert it into proficiency, but after hearing Nafiboja’s introduction, he immediately discarded the idea.

“We must avoid it. In the desert, it has high perception and can sense nearby enemies through the pulsations of the desert…” the robot Nafiboja glanced at Song Jian and said.

“Damn it, I forgot you come with a built-in taunt aura…” After cursing under his breath, Song Jian immediately took action, his figure swiftly retreating backward to increase the distance from the Sandstorm Lord.

In the escort mission, all monsters encountered would initiate attacks on the robot Nafiboja as if it had a built-in taunt aura.

“Slow down, moving too fast will cause tremors in the earth’s ley lines, making it easy for it to detect us…” the robot Nafiboja called out urgently from behind.

Song Jian’s figure suddenly froze, and his speed drastically slowed down. He tiptoed backward, and before long, the Sandstorm Lord’s form appeared in front of the two of them.

Song Jian had previously estimated the Sandstorm Lord’s height to be around ten meters, but that was due to the distance. Now, as the Sandstorm Lord drew closer, Song Jian realized that its size exceeded his expectations; its height was over fifty meters, with a colossal body that was basically invisible, resembling a vast whirlwind mixing endless grains of sand, roaming throughout the desert.

The fine sand underfoot continued to merge seamlessly into its body as it moved along, small dunes disappearing behind it, turning into a flat bed of sand.

With such a creature, how could one possibly think of combating it with mere human strength?” Even with the Thousand Swords Art at his command, Song Jian couldn’t help but marvel at the towering figure in the distance.

“Such a being, common people would only think of how to avoid it, not how to confront it?” the robot Nafiboja asked, somewhat puzzled.

Song Jian immediately showed an embarrassed smile, inwardly reminding himself to stay cautious. Ever since he had mastered the free use of Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art, he had become overconfident. BOSSes of the same level no longer mattered to him, and he would dare to confront any BOSS below King Level upon sight.

Even with the King Level BOSS, after having slain one, his heart was filled with a hint of disdain.

Seeing the Sandstorm Lord before him, Song Jian began to reflect on the situation.

As the two retreated slowly, the distance between them and the Sandstorm Lord, on the contrary, got even closer, causing Song Jian’s eyebrows to furrow involuntarily.

“If this continues, I’m afraid both of us will soon enter its guard range…” Song Jian whispered.

“If it really comes down to it, you can abandon the escort mission. It will only be attracted to me and won’t attack you for the time being. You have three minutes and fifteen seconds to withdraw…” Nafiboja’s eyes flickered incessantly as she spoke in a low voice.

“I could let go of the scroll of slaughtering intent, but the Sword Immortal outfit piece is an item I am determined to obtain. How could I give it up so easily?” Song Jian glanced at Nafiboja and thought to himself, “Besides, we’ve already traveled a third of the distance, giving up now would really be such a waste…”

The Sandstorm Lord moved with deceptive speed, its whole body shifting across the surface of the desert, much like a vast sandstorm.

With a thought from Song Jian, his figure instantly blurred, and moments later, two identical Song Jians appeared before Nafiboja.

Sword Shadow Clone!

Song Jian intended to distract the Sandstorm Lord with his clone and take the opportunity to get away with Nafiboja in reality.

Flickers of light danced in Nafiboja’s eyes, and moments later, above the heads of the two “Song Jians,” a line of small text appeared.

Above the left Song Jian hovered “Clone Probability 27.54”, and above the right Song Jian was “Clone Probability 72.12”.

Quickly, the Song Jian on the right drew the Sky-breaking Sword and dashed off in a different direction without any cover, moving at great speed.

Boom, boom, boom~

The Sandstorm Lord seemed to have sensed something, stopped in its tracks, and gazed towards the fleeing Sword Shadow Clone. In no time, a smaller three-meter-tall Sandstorm Lord split from the original and charged towards the Sword Shadow Clone at immense speed, kicking up clouds of dust and creating a trench several meters deep in the desert.

Song Jian’s expression instantly became solemn. If the Sandstorm Lord didn’t chase the clone, he would have no choice but to take Nafiboja and hide in the Broken Voice Country. However, he was unwilling to reveal the fact that he possessed Divine Country, even before a robot.

The Sword Shadow Clone turned its head for a glance and immediately behind it, a trace of white light appeared, and a pair of wings with metallic sheen emerged. With the wings spread, the clone’s speed increased even further.

The clone that the Sandstorm Lord had split off chased only a few hundred meters before dissipating; it seemed that was the limit of the Sandstorm Lord’s control.

“Roar~”

The Sandstorm Lord let out a bestial roar and turned to chase after the Sword Shadow Clone. Seeing this, Song Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
