"Boom rumble..." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The ground trembled ever more violently, even the mountain wall couldn’t withstand such amplitude, causing dirt and stones to tumble down, forming a gray curtain at the cave entrance. From Su Ran’s angle, it actually looked quite artistic.

"Overturning Water, what’s happening?"

The charming young man couldn’t hold back any longer and flew up on the Firebird, arriving beside Su Ran. He looked curiously at the constantly trembling cave and asked, "Opening a treasure chest doesn’t need such a big commotion, right? What kind of earth-shattering deed have you done?"

"Don’t mention it."

Su Ran muttered in frustration. After a glance, he continued, "The treasure chest was fake, nearly fell for the mimic’s trap. Luckily, I dodged in time and didn’t get hurt, but unfortunately, it alerted that statue. What’s happening now is just the prelude to the BOSS’s entrance."

"So that’s it. I thought something was off earlier. How could the system just give you three treasure chests for free? Now I understand; it’s all full of tricks!"

The charming young man said with deep feeling. Just as he was about to say more, a loud crash sounded from the cave, and a gray shadow flew out, followed immediately by the flaunting mimic.

This dark shadow was Su Ran’s doppelgänger, Thunder Bat. Its power was no match for the mimic, so being knocked out was expected. What surprised Su Ran was how the mimic, without wings, followed and jumped out.

Well, see, now it’s fallen.

"I’ll go take out that mimic!"

The charming young man volunteered, diving down on the Firebird to avenge the Thunder Bat.

Su Ran wasn’t too worried about this since the mimic was a melee target. The young woman had aerial superiority and was already invincible. Destroying the mimic was just a matter of time.

"Thunder Bat, go!"

Su Ran turned his attention to the cave. The mountain wall had been shaking for so long, and the statue still hadn’t appeared. He lost patience and directed Thunder Bat to go back into the cave to investigate.

Poor Thunder Bat was used as cannon fodder again, sacrificing itself to uncover the truth. This was such a noble mentality that even Su Ran, the instigator, felt a slight touch. But he quickly put that thought aside—it’s fine, just summon it again! Why make a fuss?

Just as Thunder Bat entered the cave, the earthquake subsided. The statue stood up, moving its limbs with great difficulty as if its arms were filled with lead.

"This..."

Su Ran hadn’t expected this BOSS to be so dull, far from what he’d imagined, leaving him speechless. Damn, worrying for nothing!

Under his directive, Thunder Bat launched an attack on the statue. He needed to use Thunder Bat to probe the BOSS’s reality. If it really behaved as it appeared now, then there’s no reason to hold back—just finish it off!

For Su Ran, the BOSS was far more valuable than a silver chest. As long as there’s a ten percent chance, he wouldn’t be merciful!

"Squeak squeak..."

Thunder Bat directly used its [Thunderous Strike] skill, charging with tremendous force to collide with the statue. Although the attack wasn’t strong, it could at least reduce the statue’s defense by 15%, and most importantly, test the statue’s true level. Maybe it could trigger the Plague Body and Thunder Tribulation Body, although he didn’t want to see that.

After multiple probes by Thunder Bat, Su Ran confirmed one fact: the statue’s attack frequency was terribly slow. After battling for two to three minutes, it hadn’t hit Thunder Bat once. However, its defense was like an iron plate; Thunder Bat’s attack power couldn’t breach it. Helplessly, Su Ran decided to use a strategy of luring the enemy out.

Under Thunder Bat’s firepower attraction, the statue moved slowly, taking ten minutes to cover a mere five meters, finally reaching the cave entrance.

Seizing the opportunity, Thunder Bat launched another charge, crashing hard into the statue’s leg.

However.

The statue didn’t move an inch, but Thunder Bat ended up stunned.

The statue grabbed Thunder Bat’s bone frame, pummeled it into a bone ball, and tossed it out like garbage.

"Damn!"

Thunder Bat’s heroic sacrifice didn’t trigger Thunder Tribulation Body or Plague Body. Su Ran didn’t have time to think much, jumping into action personally, conjuring three fireballs and aiming them at the statue’s lower half.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of the fireballs exploding echoed but didn’t affect the statue. It glanced in Su Ran’s direction, took a big step forward, ready to teach this annoying intruder a lesson.

With that step, like spilled water, it couldn’t be taken back. The statue missed a step, fell straight down, and its fate... was devastating.

Despite all its strength, the statue couldn’t resist the pull of gravity, falling headfirst into the ground, left only with its legs above, trembling slightly.

"What happened?"

The charming young man had just finished off the mimic and hadn’t even had time to gather the loot. Turning around at the loud noise, she saw two legs.

She was astonished and instinctively asked. After asking, she realized this must be the statue Su Ran had mentioned.

"Speedy delivery, please sign here."

Su Ran responded cheerfully, not rushing to deal with the BOSS, heading straight to the cave. With the BOSS out of the way, it was time to open the treasure chest!
