When there were enough players, they could surround and kill a powerful Lord BOSS, and they could also use their numbers to whittle down a Celestial BOSS. However, when it came to Heaven's End BOSS, it could be said that it was beyond what players could handle. No matter how many players there were, whether it was ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand … even if it was a large alliance, charging forward would only be sending them to their deaths. Any one of the Mountain Giant's attacks could cause massive AOE destruction. With such destructive power, players' fragile bodies would be crushed like ants. They wouldn't even be able to resist the Mountain Giant's attacks.
With Ling Chen's current strength, perhaps he could rely on the Lunar Scourge's abilities and Broken Shadow to survive for a short period of time. However, if he wanted to fight against it, or even defeat it, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was dreaming.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The Mountain Giant continued to chase after them, and every step it took would cause a massive earthquake. Its immense might locked onto Ling Chen's body. The Mountain Giant's body was simply too big, and its aggro range was also quite large. Perhaps the entire Nameless Ridge was within its aggro range.
Ling Chen could guess that the Mountain Giant was truly angry, and was determined to chase them out of the Nameless Ridge or destroy them. The aura he had felt when they first killed the small Rock Monsters wasn't an illusion … now that he thought about it, it seemed to be the Mountain Giant's warning. The Rock Devils that appeared afterwards, as well as the Rock Devil King, were all summoned by the Mountain Giant to stop him and Tian Tian. However, these Rock Devils and the Rock Devil King had all been destroyed by it, and he and Tian Tian had charged into its territory. As such, the Mountain Giant was completely enraged. The Nameless Ridge had been covered with rocks and countless trees, proving that it had been in this state for tens or even hundreds of years. Now that it had been forced to wake up, how could its anger be small? It wouldn't just scare them away.
"Ahhhh … it's coming, ahhhh!!"
With Broken Shadow, although he was able to shake off the Mountain Giant by a considerable distance, its body was simply too large. When he turned around, he felt as if the Mountain Giant's body was right behind him. Its one-eyed head felt as if it was looking down at him from above. Tian Tian screamed in fright, her body tightly wrapped around Ling Chen's body, not daring to look back. Ling Chen frowned and ran forward with all his might. The only thing he could do was to escape with all his might. The Mountain Giant's movements were slow, but it could cover dozens of meters with each step. Even with Broken Shadow, the distance it could cover wasn't too great.
After activating Broken Shadow, Ling Chen went over a mountain ridge. With another Broken Shadow, he passed through the second mountain. When he turned around, he found that he couldn't see the Mountain Giant's entire appearance, and the pressure it gave off made him feel as if the Mountain Giant wouldn't be able to take a single step. If it stopped, its next step would land on top of him and Tian Tian's heads.
Looking at Tian Tian, whose eyes were tightly shut, Ling Chen's forehead and back were covered in cold sweat … crap! He could only use Broken Shadow one last time. If the entire Nameless Ridge was within its aggro range, let alone once, even if he used Broken Shadow 10 times, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Once he was locked onto by the Mountain Giant, he wouldn't be able to use teleportation items, nor would he be able to log off safely. Once Broken Shadow's effects ended, the Mountain Giant would catch up to them. When that time came, he and Tian Tian could only face death.
Moreover …
Ling Chen didn't use Broken Shadow again. Instead, he looked back as he ran, staring at the Mountain Giant's approaching body. His eyebrows furrowed, and his hands clenched into fists.
If there really is a Lunar Scourge's orb in this area, then for Ruo Ruo, I have to obtain it no matter what. No matter what obstacles there are, I have to overcome them.
This Mountain Giant is too powerful, and I can't find any way to resist it. However, can I really only run away? I've finally found the location of the orb, but I can only run away. What can I do to save Ruo Ruo?
Ling Chen's footsteps gradually slowed down … moreover, it seemed that even running away was just an extravagant hope.
After using Broken Shadow twice, he had put less than 1,000 metres between them. However, the Mountain Giant's aura did not weaken at all. It seemed that unless they could leave the Nameless Ridge, even if they ran another 10 kilometres, they wouldn't be able to escape. However, he and Tian Tian had walked from the edge of the Nameless Ridge to here for an entire day, and it was impossible for them to escape before it caught up. Even if he used Broken Shadow one last time, it would be useless.
Looking at Tian Tian, who had her eyes tightly shut and her face scrunched up, Ling Chen inwardly sighed … Tian Tian, if I knew that we would meet an enemy like this, I wouldn't have brought you here from the Peace Town. Now. All I can do is give you a bit of time to escape and a bit of hope. I hope that with me blocking it, it will forget about you.
Ling Chen did not use Broken Shadow one last time, and instead, he stopped walking. Behind him, the Mountain Giant was quickly approaching, and every step it took caused the earth to shake. However, Ling Chen's expression was strangely calm, and there was not a trace of nervousness or fear on his face. He put away Little Gray and put down Tian Tian's curled up body, pressing his hands on her shoulders.
Tian Tian, who had left Ling Chen's body, opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion, "Big brother, why did you stop … Ahhh, it's coming! Ahhh!! "
From Tian Tian's angle, she could immediately see the approaching Mountain Giant, and the pressure and terror it gave off caused her to cry out. She leapt onto Ling Chen's body, her body trembling. Ling Chen pulled her shoulders and looked into her eyes as he calmly and earnestly said, "Tian Tian, listen up. Immediately run in the direction behind you, which is also the direction we came from. Run as fast as you can, and don't stop. When you feel like you're being locked on to, don't run. Instead, immediately use a teleport scroll to go back to the city or log off. Do you understand? "
If he attacked the Mountain Giant and drew all of its aggro onto himself, the Mountain Giant's aggro towards Tian Tian would completely disappear. When that happened, Tian Tian would be able to return to the city or log off safely. This was the only method he could think of. Otherwise, he and Tian Tian would be killed by the Mountain Giant.
No matter what, he had to protect Tian Tian!
"Then … Then what about you, big brother?" Tian Tian asked timidly, her face still filled with worry and fear.
"I'll run in the other direction." Ling Chen pointed to his right as he laughed, "If we run together, it'll definitely catch up to us. If we split up, it'll only be able to catch up to one of us. This is the best method. "
"But … but …" Hearing Ling Chen's words, Tian Tian felt that something was wrong, and she said worriedly.
"There's no time to hesitate! If we don't run, the Mountain Giant will catch up to us, and we'll all be trampled to death! " Ling Chen raised his voice, "Before we came here, we agreed that you had to listen to me. When I tell you to run, you have to immediately run without any hesitation. If you don't listen, I won't bring you out to play next time. Also … you don't have to worry about me at all. I'm so fast that it definitely won't be able to catch up to me. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and run. "
"I … I understand." After being yelled at by Ling Chen, Tian Tian, who had almost lost the ability to think, could only anxiously nod and take 2 steps back, "Big brother, you also have to … run faster. Don't let it catch up to you."
After saying this, Tian Tian ran as fast as she could towards the direction they had come from. Ling Chen stood there, silently watching her run away. Only when her petite figure disappeared behind the rubble did he turn around and look at the Mountain Giant, who was less than 300 metres away.
300 metres was only a distance of 3 body lengths for the Mountain Giant, and it could be crossed in just a few steps.
Ling Chen's eyes narrowed. There was no fear in them, only a sharp glint. With a flash of light, the 2 Celestial grade weapons appeared in his hands. His face was completely covered by the Evil God's Mask.
"Zephyr!"
A light gust of wind whistled past, and the Great Ravager and Zephyr Sword glowed with a faint green light. The Mountain Giant only had one weakness, and that was that it was afraid of wind-type attacks. The Zephyr Sword's attribute conversion skill, Zephyr, was the Mountain Giant's most powerful counter.
"Little master, are you really going to … challenge it?" Ling Chen's attitude caused Qi Yue to feel quite shocked. Ling Chen was unrivalled amongst players, and could easily kill Lord Bosses of similar levels, as well as Celestial Bosses of similar levels … however, with his LV20 status, challenging a LV33 Heaven's End grade Boss, and one that had inherited the Earth God's soul and power at that, was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a dragonfly trying to shake a tree.
"There's nothing we can do about it," Ling Chen said helplessly, "Since there's no point in running, it's better to turn around and stab it twice. At least we'll be able to protect Tian Tian this way. "
Qi Yue could only helplessly sigh, "Indeed, unless there's a miracle … such as a bolt of lightning striking down from the heavens and destroying this rock giant, or if this rock giant digs a hole and buries itself, you won't be able to escape. That seems to be the only way. Little master, if you're above LV60, and your stats and skills are fully matured, you might be able to defeat it, but right now, there's no chance at all. However, little master, don't forget about the consequences of dying. "
Under the Lunar Scourge's' Heaven's Jealousy ', once a player died, their level would immediately return to 0.
Ling Chen's eyes twitched as he gritted his teeth, "At a time like this, it's fine if you don't comfort me, but can you not add fuel to the fire like this!! How do you know that I'll definitely die … maybe my grandma's aura will activate and kill it!! "
"Back in the Novice Village, I had normal equipment, novice skills, and was able to defeat a LV10 Celestial grade Boss … now, I have 2 professions, 2 Celestial grade weapons, and 4 God Orbs in the Lunar Scourge. Do I really not have any hope of defeating this Heaven's End grade Boss?!"
"If I don't try … how will I know!"
As he said this, a vicious expression appeared on Ling Chen's face. He gripped the Great Ravager and Zephyr Sword tightly.
Boom!
The Mountain Giant stepped within 100 metres of him, causing the ground to tremble and the blood in his body to boil. He deeply breathed in, and with a loud roar, he charged towards the Mountain Giant … charging towards this monster that was thousands of times bigger than him.
