Part-time Boss
Chapter 72 - 72 72 Flol

72: Chapter 72 Flol 72: Chapter 72 Flol Mo Fei and Muradin hurriedly approached.

At the moment, the elf girl was standing in front of an altar, carefully examining some strange murals behind the altar on the wall.

Mo Fei was a typical combat player, anyone with a health bar was a target, and he couldn’t be bothered with the storyline—he hated puzzle games the most.

Watching Odin, wearing an explorer’s hat and holding a magnifying glass in earnest as he played the archeologist, felt surprisingly convincing.

He casually began to take a look as well.

The murals were more than a dozen in total, seemingly coherent in nature, telling a story of something that had occurred in the past.

The first picture depicted a group of people trekking through the mountains.

Although the style was primitive, one could vaguely make out that it should be some ancient human tribe.

The second picture showed a huge mountain under which laid numerous dragon corpses.

The third mural depicted a group of people gathered around a fire roasting huge chunks of meat, apparently celebrating some sort of festival.

The fourth mural showed several buildings under construction.

The expressions of the construction workers seemed very strange, as if they were full of fear—unless it was just the style of the painting.

The fifth mural depicted a group of serpent people chasing humans, while a few dragons circled above, seemingly observing something…

Before Mo Fei could make sense of it all, Odin had already nodded with conviction.

“I understand now.

The place where we are now must be a ritual site.

See that stone cup on the altar?

We just need to pour fresh blood into it to open the gate before us.”

Mo Fei looked towards the altar and indeed there was a square concave slot on it, with a channel extending into the wall, disappearing into the unknown.

Since the expert had spoken, it was time to act.

As for fresh blood, it was easy to come by; when searching the corpses of the serpent people earlier, he often found something called Serpent People’s Blood.

Serpent People’s Blood (Material)

Item Description: Blood left over from serpent people after death.

Some alchemists might be interested in this.

Originally, Mo Fei had planned to see if any knowledgeable (or gullible) buyer would purchase it at auction, but now he knew exactly what it was for.

He dumped all the Serpent People’s Blood from his bag into the concave slot.

After throwing about forty of them in, the slot was filled.

As the fresh blood flowed into the channel, the wall began to shake.

The altar in front of them slowly parted, revealing an entrance leading underground.

Hot air surged out of the opening, and looking deep into the cave, one could still see a dim red light.

Muradin watched with great excitement, “Haha, I knew bringing you was a wise choice.”

Internally, Mo Fei realized that it made sense why the serpent people could survive in the icy landscape—it was due to the presence of a volcano.

It seemed that their main target was below, but it was uncertain what kind of boss it might be.

“What are we waiting for?

Let’s go down!” Muradin said, eagerly leading the way into the cave.

Mo Fei quickly followed, and soon the group made their way underground through the cave.

After about a hundred meters, they arrived at a huge fire cavern, which must have been inside the mountain of Sky Piercing Peak.

Most of the floor had solidified into black rock, but occasionally one could see dark red, uncooled magma flowing through the cracks between the volcanic rocks.

The ground didn’t seem very stable.

At the end of the cavern stood a huge dragon-shaped sculpture.

Mo Fei’s heart leapt with joy; the sculpture’s design was quite similar to the Ancient Dragon rock carving he had in his possession.

An instinct told him that the key to reaching the Dragon Delight lay there.

He scanned the fire cavern and did not find any monsters or bosses.

Had he been overthinking things?

As he hesitated about whether to release his dog to check for any invisible units, Muradin had already stepped onto the black rocky ground.

Muradin Bronzebeard (King of the Hill): “Hmm, the ground seems quite firm.

I’ll go scout ahead, you guys stay here…”

Boom!

The sound of shattering rocks interrupted him.

The ground in the center of the cavern suddenly broke apart, and from the boiling magma emerged a massive creature.

This creature resembled a giant lizard, at least fifteen meters long, its body covered with crimson scales.

Magma slowly trickled down those scales, which made it clear that the creature had a formidable fire resistance; it must have been dormant in the magma before.

The beast was fat and strong, with a curved neck topped by a lizard-like head.

Its yellow eyes were fierce and bloodthirsty, and atop its skull were a bunch of sharp spines.

On the creature’s back were a pair of underdeveloped dragon wings that seemed disproportionate to the massive body.

Mo Fei looked up above the monster’s head.

Flol (Magma Earth Dragon): Terror Grade rank one, Level 55.

Health Points 66000.

He felt some surprise in his heart.

There were many types of dragons within the Dragon Race, but it was his first time encountering this variety.

Muradin Bronzebeard (King of the Hill), “Odin’s beard, what monster is that?

Hehehehe, this time you all just watch, let me have a good time playing with this big guy!”

The dwarf charged straight toward the Magma Earth Dragon.

Mo Fei did not interfere.

A Gold tier hero against a Terror Grade rank one BOSS, and ten levels higher at that, should have no problems; it would be best if he, a mere level 10 Bronze tier, didn’t go meddling.

Muradin used his ultimate move as soon as he engaged.

Hero Combat Technique—Storm Hammer!

The battle axe in his hand, imbued with the power of the storm, spun out and struck.

Boom!

-3500!

The massive force caused the Magma Earth Dragon’s head to immediately display a sign of dizziness.

No sooner than the hammer was thrown, Muradin performed a dwarf toss, soaring into the air and landing squarely on the Magma Earth Dragon’s back, lifting his axe and aiming a strike at the Magma Earth Dragon’s skull, clearly aiming for a killing blow.

Although there was a huge advantage in rank, a BOSS was still a BOSS, generally with combat strength far surpassing that of heroes at the same level, and with a tremendous advantage in health points.

Muradin was also quite the Blood Bull, but he had only a little more than 8000 Health Points; he couldn’t afford to drag out the fight, it was best to strive for a decisive strike.

However, the Magma Earth Dragon’s toughness was extremely high; it recovered in less than two seconds from being stunned.

Before the axe could even come down, it shook its head and flung Muradin away.

Mo Fei wasn’t idle; although he didn’t dare to engage directly, he could still command his troops.

“All units, fire at will, give it everything you’ve got!”

Dwarf gunners and Kingdom crossbowmen formed a line and began firing; such a large target was nearly impossible to miss.

In an instant, crossbow bolts and bullets flew everywhere.

However, the monster’s scales were rather sturdy, and the crossbow bolts inflicted only single-digit and teen digits of damage, while the guns did slightly better, dealing just over twenty.

Several volleys later, they hadn’t even dealt 1000 damage combined.

Seeing the monster’s ferocity, Muradin was invigorated.

He stood up and charged again; this time, he gave up on landing a killing strike and went directly for crippling attacks, the battle axe in his hand furiously hacking at the Magma Earth Dragon’s limbs.

He was short in stature, but his movements were incredibly agile.

The Magma Earth Dragon, whether trying to batter with its claws or swipe with its tail, was led in circles.

Even when Muradin did suffer a hit, his robust dwarven physique hardly minded it.

Within Muradin’s body, there seemed to be boundless strength.

He matched the Magma Earth Dragon blow for blow: shield blocking, battle axe hacking, occasionally unleashing a combat technique.

After several exchanges, the Magma Earth Dragon was covered with wounds, and its health had dropped by more than twenty thousand.

However, Muradin had also lost over three thousand points of his health.

If it were just this, the outcome of the contest wasn’t certain, but heroes could drink health potions.

Muradin pulled out a potion and gulped it down.

As the King of Ironforge’s brother, the potion he drank was naturally no cheap product; with a guzzling sound, a bright red number of +2000 popped above his head, almost instantly filling his health to near full.

Damn, that potion’s healing power is fierce, Mo Fei thought, glancing at his own small +200 health potion in his pocket and silently letting out a sigh.

The Magma Earth Dragon looked at Muradin, its yellow eyes flashing with a cunning light.

Suddenly, it turned and began to flee.

Muradin couldn’t let it go, of course.

Just as he was about to catch up, the Magma Earth Dragon made a mighty leap, its massive body jumping more than a meter high, then crashing down with a thunderous sound.

With a crack, the rock shell beneath it was instantly crushed, and the Magma Earth Dragon plunged into the molten lava beneath the earth’s surface.

That moment left Muradin stunned in place, but Mo Fei sensed the danger.

“Get back here!” he shouted.

Just as Muradin turned around, the ground below him suddenly broke apart, and he plunged into the lava with a splash.
