System: the sapling of the tree spirit has grown into maturity and underwent an uncontrollable mutation. The mature tree spirit has transformed into an Elite Level BOSS[LV1 Bloody Shadowy Poisonous Tree].
âElite Level BOSS at level one? Thatâs quite a high starting point!â Song Jian rubbed his chin, looking at the stats of the once sapling, or rather, the now âBloody Shadowy Poisonous Treeâ.
Bloody Shadowy Poisonous Tree (Elite), Vitality Points: 400/400, Characteristics: Super Toxic, Super Vitality, Super Defense, Super Resistance, Super Roots, Super Devouring.
With four hundred vitality points, it has already surpassed quite a fewâ level five Elite Level BOSSes. Its six superb traits left Song Jian flabbergasted. What kind of monster had he created?
âMaster, Alex heeds your summoning!â A red light flashed in the eyes of the Bloody Poisonous Tree and it respectfully said to Song Jian.
âPhew, thankfully it hasnât turned against me, otherwise I really would have shot myself in the foot.â Song Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
âProtect and eliminate all enemies invading the mansion!â Song Jian commanded.
âAs you command, master!â
The moment the Bloody Poisonous Tree spoke, the name above its head also changed. It transformed into the âLV1 Bloody Shadowy Poisonous Tree â Alexâ, becoming a BOSS with a unique name.
System: The arrival of a Level 1 Mansion has attracted the attention of the Elite Level BOSS at Level 10, the [Roaming Zombie â Robert], who wall appear in twenty minutes.
Faced with a Level 10 Elite BOSS, Song Jian felt numb. Up till now, he had drawn over ten Elite Level BOSSes from within a kilometer radius.
âThis Roaming Zombieâs nameâ¦I seemed to have heard it somewhereâ¦â A thought flashed through Song Jianâs mind, but it was soon attracted to the gradually disappearing green light pillar.
When the green pillar disappeared, Song Jian couldnât help but feel anxious, his palms getting sweaty, just like facing the final exam after a long period of revision.
âBring it on, ail zombies are trash in front of my Level 1 Mansion!â Song Jian thought and appeared on the surrounding wall.
The Level 1 Mansion belonged to Song Jian. Within this territory, he could instantaneously teleport to any corner, but he wouldnât have this kind of teleportation ability outside the mansion.
The spectating players had waited for more than an hour until the light pillar finally collapsed which made them excited too.
âHey, this monster siege seems grander than the first playerâs, Iâve seen at least a dozen Elite BOSSes aloneâ¦â
âCanât you see the shelter this big-shot established is more of a castle than an actual shelter?â
âHave you seen that tree? This big-shot cultivated his own Elite BOSS; we canât compareâ¦â
âBig shot with the Elite BOSS, asking for supportâ¦â
âBig shot with the Elite BOSS, asking for support +1â¦â
âBig shot with the Elite BOSS, asking for support +10086â¦â
Although the green light column was intense, the outside players could still see Song Jianâs movements. They personally witnessed the Bloody Poisonous Tree grow from a sapling to an Elite BOSS.
âIf only 1 also had such a big tree in my shelter.â Keâer thought enviously, â1â11 ask Little Cheap Brother where he got it from and Iâll raise one tooâ¦â
Boom-
A crisp shattering sound accompanied the disappearance of the green light column, turning into glittering fragments scattering in all directions.
Roar-
At the same time, all the monsters roared and charged towards Song Jianâs mansion.
Swish-
At the same time, hundreds of mutant zombies drew near to the walls of the manor. All the wooden spike traps were activated instantaneously, with numerous robust spikes emerging from the ground and piercing through all the monsters within range. Even those monsters that didnât die were left critically wounded and waiting to die. By the second time the wooden spikes emerged, at least hundreds of mutant zombies were taken down;
In only a matter of seconds, Song Jianâs Experience Points grew visibly;
Swish- Swish- Swish-
From all sides of the Arrow Tower, crossbow bolts began shooting out. Zombies were pierced with bolts all over their bodies and fell to the ground before they could get near the walls;
Boom-
A giant boulder crashed viciously into a pack of monsters about ten meters away. With this strike, five to six monsters were crushed into mush. The catapult had opened fire;
Song Jian stood on the wall, expressionless as he watched the monster horde surging towards him like a flood. Wave after wave of monsters reached the wallâs base just to end up collapsing;
The bloody poison tree also roared into action. Countless roots sprouted from the mud, climbing up the wall covering both sides of the main gates. The roots pierced through the horde of monsters like spears, each attack killing five to six monsters;
Then, these roots wrapped around the monstersâ corpses and slowly retracted, burying the dead under the roots of the Poison Tree;
Several seconds later, a slight ringing sound came from behind Song Jian;
Hum-
A golden light flashed out of nowhere. The Bloody Bayou Poison Tree had leveled up, climbing from level one to level two;
Then, after about ten more seconds, the Bloody Bayou Poison Tree once again emitted a golden light as it rose to level three;
However, very soon, a golden glow emitted from Song Jian as well. He, who was originally seventh-level, had now reached the eighth level;
All the monsters killed by manorâs defense structures counted towards Song Jianâs tally. Itâs as if in a matter of a few seconds, Song Jian had killed two to three hundred mutant zombies. Even these were just level one to three mutant zombies, such a large quantity resulted in a rich amount of experience. Even the Bloody Bayou Poison Tree, it had to share half of the experience earned from the monsters it killed with Song Jian.
Upon reaching the eighth level, Song Jian had accumulated four skill points. However, despite having more than ten skills accessible in his skill bar, he still didnât have a primary cultivation skill, which he felt slightly regretful about;
All bullets for any firearms he had were fed to the Poison Tree, leaving Song Jianâs only ranged attack skill being âEarth Teeth Assault.â But every time he released this skill, it consumed ten Vitality Points and could only attack one target at a time. In the current situation, using âEarth Teeth Assaultâ would be inefficientâit would be better to save it for confronting the Elite Level bosses. Looking at the swarm of monsters rushing over and shattering just like waves crashing against the rocks, Song Jian was reassured, thinking, âWeâre stable this wave!â
However, at that moment, Song Jian abruptly felt a spine-chilling sensation. Sensing the impending danger, his body instinctively teleported to the third floor of the castle;
Boom-
A giant iron ball with a diameter of over one meter crashed fiercely where Song Jian had been standing moments ago. The iron ballâs surface was covered in protruding spikes sparkling with a metallic gleam and appeared threateningly savage.
That attack caused a drastic reduction in the wallâs defense level, plummeting it by over six hundred points. The previously sturdy third-level stone wall now had a foot-long crack, and splinters of stones scattered;
From the window, Song Jian saw a zombie over two meters tall, wearing chains around its bare upper body like half armor. It was gripping the tip of the chain attached to the massive iron ball that had just hit the wall;
LV5 Chain Hammer Zombie (Elite), Vitality Points: 390/780, Traits: Enormous Strength, Hammer Throw
Watching the zombie slowly pulling back the chain and retrieving the enormous spiked iron ball, Song Jian grimaced;
âI canât let it keep doing that. If it continue hitting, the third-level stone wallâs defense wonât even last a few hits!â
