Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 208 Lu Yuan Slays the Mountain Toad, Battle of Monsters

Am I the only one who thinks the stats of the Abyssal Fiend are terrifying? At level 200, its stats jump to hundreds of thousands or even millions. Is that reasonable?

[Were the game's stats filled in with their feet? How did the numbers suddenly inflate so ridiculously? It's beyond my imagination.]

[I remember during the Chinese New Year, a foreign forum posted Lu Yuan's damage details: 999,990 damage per punch. This Sea Abyss Evil Dragon has exactly one million HP, possibly the first monster in history to survive a single punch from Lu Yuan.]

[You're overthinking it. That 990,000 damage is the current version's displayed limit, not Lu Yuan's damage limit. Don't you understand that numerical values ​​are all unknown and have questionable value?]

[If Lu Yuan really wants to kill you with one punch, then those who deserve to die will die. It depends on whether he wants to torture you or not. If he wants to torture novices for fun, he'll throw a lot of punches, but it's a bit cruel.]

Is it cruel? I think it's alright, just do whatever makes you happy.

Bro, your thoughts are dangerous.

[What does "demon" mean? Does it mean you become a demon after level 200? Or does it mean the game enters the Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) version at level 200?]

【may be.】

We're only one Super Weapon 2.0 version away from the Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) version, which is pretty close.

[What's the rush? We haven't even found any clues for Super Weapon 2.0. We can't unlock the next version without collecting enough clues.]

That's true, I'm getting a little irritated.

[What level are you guys? You're already discussing Super Weapon 2.0? Have you even reached level 100 yet? What are you fantasizing about? Are you crazy? Do you think the game is too easy and want to make it harder for yourselves?]

[That makes sense. 】

However, I still want to expedite the transition to the Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) version.

[6. The Super Weapon 2.0 update hasn't even arrived yet, and this guy's already fantasizing about fantasy martial arts. That's ridiculous.]

[Stop with this nonsense, does anyone want to deal with the Abyss Demon Dragon?]

[Bro, are you serious? Did you even see that Abyss Dragon's stats? You want to take it down? With what? With your head? Do you think we can even scratch it? We're not even sure if we can break its defenses, and you still want to mess with it? You're asking for trouble. Go to the top right corner.]

[Don't do anything reckless, thank you.]

[Cowards, you bunch of cowards.]

……

Wangyou County, a small courtyard in the south of the city.

"Lu Yuan, a spirit has appeared."

The Peach Blossom Fairy landed beside Lu Yuan and said in a somewhat anxious tone.

"Ok?"

Lu Yuan, who was on the recliner, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Location."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Five Tiger Mountain, the one where you blasted off one of the peaks."

"I see."

As Lu Yuan stood up and was about to jump, Xue Huang, who was sitting on the table next to him, immediately flew over and tied himself tightly to Lu Yuan's belt.

Not to be outdone, the divine furnace, which was still spewing clouds and mist, shrank and transformed into a small ornament, which was gently hung on the other side of Lu Yuan's belt.

How can a meal be complete without its divine stove?

Is this decorative broken knife trying to monopolize something?

Don't even think about it.

"Be careful, that stinky toad is poisonous. Its venom can corrode metal and stone, and it can also detonate. Be very careful not to inhale the venom. If it detonates inside your body, you will be reduced to ashes."

"Peach Blossom Fairy said quickly."

"Well, I see."

Lu Yuan faced the direction of Five Tiger Mountain, pressed his legs down slightly, and the next moment, with a loud bang, the floor beneath his feet instantly turned to dust, and Lu Yuan flew into the sky like a cannonball.

Bang bang bang.

A series of loud bangs, as if the air was being crushed, echoed from high above, and Lu Yuan's figure quickly disappeared into the air.

at the same time.

Four Tigers Mountain.

The pervasive poisonous gas, like a green canopy, covered the sky, and the area was filled with an unbearable stench.

A large number of players have gathered in the outer area.

They soaked towels and covered their mouths and noses tightly.

They carried buckets of kerosene and poured it onto the ground in front of them.

The two swords clashed, and the sparks that flew quickly ignited the oil on the ground. As a raging fire broke out, a large area of ​​poisonous gas in front of them was instantly cleared away.

Seeing that this was effective, they continued to use kerosene and continued to pour it.

According to the information given by Fairy Peach Blossom, this mountain toad is of average strength, only about the same as a Blood Corpse. If there are enough players, they can probably take it down.

"Ah~"

A frog croaked.

The player in front suddenly stopped in place. A moment later, with a loud bang, the player in front exploded on the spot. The poison gas in his body quickly spread, and with a series of explosions, all the players who stepped into the poison gas were declared dead.

Players outside the toxic zone turned pale upon seeing this.

These mountain toads are even harder to deal with than blood corpses.

Not a single drop of poison gas can be inhaled; if you do, this is the consequence: you'll be blown up.

Just as they were racking their brains trying to figure out how to get in.

A booming sound came from the sky.

A figure descended from the sky, landing directly inside the poisonous gas.

boom……

The toxic zone was smashed into a large crater.

Lu Yuan emerged from the crater, his body wreathed in red flames. He glanced at the players outside the poison zone.

"Holy crap, it's the chief constable."

"Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly, don't get caught in the crossfire."

When the other players saw that it was Lu Yuan, they didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately packed up their things and ran away.

They knew very well that once Lu Yuan made a move, this mountain toad would surely die.

There's no need for them to waste any more time here.

After the players left, Lu Yuan's senses quickly detected the mountain toad hidden underground.

"You dodged well, but unfortunately, you were just a little short."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, just as he was about to punch the toad underground to death.

The poison gas around him suddenly went berserk, constantly rushing into his mouth and nose.

The toad seemed to want to poison Lu Yuan with poison gas.

Unfortunately, the toxins in the toad are too weak.

They couldn't even activate Lu Yuan's Holy Protection passive skill.

A continuous stream of poisonous gas entered Lu Yuan's body, but before it could take effect, it was quickly digested by Lu Yuan's body.

"Have you had enough fun?"

Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Croak, mortal, something's wrong with you."

"How come you weren't poisoned to death?"

"What kind of monster are you?"

The ground surged, and a huge, ugly toad crawled out from underground.

The small, attic-sized eyes stared intently at Lu Yuan.

The mountain toad couldn't understand why the mortal before him hadn't been poisoned to death yet.

Its poisonous gas is extremely potent; it can even kill spirits and monsters.

"The poison gas is too weak; it won't kill me."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

The ground beneath his feet had been corroded and rotten by the poisonous gas, resembling a pile of fermenting matter—it was disgusting.

The gas from the mountain toad is very poisonous, but it's not quite enough.

"Insanity."

The toad shook its body defiantly, and the pustules on its skin began to burst, releasing an even stronger toxic gas.

Lu Yuan took a sip.

It has a slightly fishy smell.

Before he could continue his evaluation, a burst of green light erupted from Lu Yuan's body, and the poisonous gas that had entered Lu Yuan's body instantly dissipated.

Saint's passive ability remains formidable.

Are there any other methods?

"If not, you can set off now."

Lu Yuan tilted his head, looking curiously at the mountain-like toad. "Who exactly are you?"

"There's something wrong with you."

The mountain toad took a half step back, startled by Lu Yuan's gaze. The ground rumbled loudly, and the mountain toad looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of fear in its eyes.

The mountain toad is very timid.

It wanted to escape.

"Aren't you seeking revenge?"

"How come you don't even recognize your own enemy?"

Lu Yuan suddenly smiled.

"You are... Lu Yuan?"

The toad instinctively took a few steps back.

"You got it right, but there's no reward."

"Do you have any other skills? If not, you can set off now."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

He sensed the toad's fear and knew that the toad was trying to escape.

But you think you can just run away whenever you want?

Have you asked me?
"Don't underestimate a toad, you bastard."

The mountain toad trembled with anger at Lu Yuan's repeated words.

This human in front of me is too arrogant.

Don't think you can ignore it just because you have some ability.

It's a mountain toad, a toad spirit destined to become a monster.

The toad's gills bulged, and a thick green toxic gas sprayed towards Lu Yuan.

Hidden within the poisonous gas is a tongue strong enough to pierce through mountain rocks.

"You're making me feel nauseous."

Lu Yuan tilted his head and dodged the attack of the tongue hidden in the poison gas.

That's disgusting, he had no choice but to hide.

Lu Yuan stretched out his hand and struck.

With a soft "plop".

Lu Yuan's hand passed through the mountain toad's tongue.

Grabbing the gap in the toad's tongue, Lu Yuan gave it a sharp tug, pulling the toad forward dozens of steps. Before it could react, Lu Yuan flung it away, unleashing a burst of immense power.

He ripped the toad's tongue off.

Blood was spilled all over the ground.

The toad covered its mouth in pain.

Before it could recover from the pain, a fist appeared in front of it, but it didn't enlarge quickly.

"Do not……"

"Wait, we can talk..."

The aura of death was palpable.

Lu Yuan seemed not to hear the mountain toad's pleas for mercy.

boom……

The toad's head was punched through.

The brain was blasted to pieces.

The toad's enormous body crashed to the ground, its life force rapidly dissipating.

died.

As Lu Yuan stepped on the toad's corpse, a spirit appeared before him. He grasped the spirit and looked at the toad's corpse with icy eyes.

"Rubbish."

After a long pause, Lu Yuan finally uttered a two-word evaluation.

"Buzzing..."

Blood Radiance at his waist was extremely excited.

Not to be outdone, the Divine Furnace also frantically declared that it could do it too.

"The corpse and the spirit, you can divide them as you see fit."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Blood Emperor swiftly landed in front of the essence, and just as he was about to swallow it whole, the Divine Fire Furnace moved even faster, spitting out tongues of fire and snatching the essence from Blood Emperor's mouth.

"Grass."

The Blood Emperor Blade trembled with rage.

They wished they could fight the divine furnace.

This broken stove, what are you trying to steal?

You have no manners at all. Don't you know what first come, first served means?
With his essence gone, Xuehuang had no choice but to swallow the mountain toad's corpse as a second-best option.

A moment later, the mountain toad's enormous body was completely absorbed by the Blood Emperor, and the poisonous gas was not wasted either, as it was also completely consumed by the Blood Emperor.

After finishing these tasks, the Divine Fire Furnace and Blood Emperor did not linger. With a whoosh, they flew into the sky and chased after Lu Yuan.

Several hours passed.

The players in the surrounding area waited for a long time and found that there was no movement at Four Tigers Mountain before they dared to approach. They saw that the poisonous gas at Four Tigers Mountain had disappeared and immediately realized that the mountain toad was dead.

at the same time.

The moment the mountain toad died, a spirit hundreds of kilometers away suddenly stopped its journey. It sensed danger and lingered for half an hour before finally choosing another direction: the seaside.

The mountain toad is dead; there may be a formidable enemy ahead.

Its strength was comparable to that of the mountain toad, and rushing over there would only lead to its death. So it chose the direction of the sea, intending to go with the evil sea dragon.

Other spirits that arrived at the same time also chose to change their routes.

South China Sea.

The dragon-like shadow hidden in the giant waves suddenly leaped out of the sea, its ferocious head bearing a single horn.

"waste."

After uttering those two words, the evil dragon of the sea abyss once again disappeared into the ocean, but the height of the giant wave also increased several times over.

The giant waves, hundreds of meters high, were like an apocalyptic disaster, smashing the islands along the way and causing heavy casualties among the island's natives. The Southeast Asian tourists suffered even more calamity.

For a time, overseas gaming forums were filled with lamentations.

Meanwhile, many overseas players are also laughing at the players of Dayong.

With such a terrifying monster, players of the Great Yong Kingdom are likely to be in trouble.

"Huhuhu..."

As the monstrous sea dragon drew ever closer, the waves along the Lingnan coast grew ever larger.

Some villages have already been destroyed, with huge waves crashing ashore and houses and boats reduced to rubble.

Fortunately, they had already evacuated the coastal residents; otherwise, before the evil dragon even landed, hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Dayong would have been killed or injured.

"Alert, alert."

The border troops stationed in Black Mountain City temporarily abandoned their mission to search for the remnants of the Demon Yin Sect. They began to patrol frequently, wary of any spirits that might appear at any time.

"General, we have discovered traces of a spirit in an area 100 miles north of Black Mountain City. Our initial assessment is that it is a thousand-year-old tree spirit from Qingcheng Mountain."

"General, we have discovered traces of monsters in an area three hundred miles south of Black Mountain City. The preliminary assessment is that they are man-eating tigers."

"Urgent report! The superhumans patrolling the coast have discovered a man-eating tiger and are engaged in battle with it. Should we provide support?"

"If you don't provide support, notify the nearby supernatural beings and mark the exact location of the man-eating tiger for them."

"Urgent report! Urgent report! A vine-like spirit has been spotted in Sujia Village on the coast. It has been preliminarily identified as a vine snake. Our soldiers have been bitten. A supernatural being has come to our aid."

"Fight, assist the aliens in slaying the Vine Serpent."

"Urgent report! Huge waves have been spotted 200 miles from the coast. They are overwhelming and roughly several hundred meters high. High risk! High risk!"

"Preliminary assessment indicates it is a vicious sea dragon."

"Withdraw, retreat across the entire front back into the city."

"Notify the Others to retreat."

In the few days following Lu Yuan's slaying of the mountain toad, the whereabouts of the monster continued to emerge.

Conflicts between players and spirits occur frequently.

Not only the players, but also the martial arts masters from both the righteous and demonic paths who had gathered because of the remnants of the Demon Yin Sect joined forces to kill those monsters.

An urgent report was sent to Wangyou County.

"A vicious dragon has appeared in the abyss; please, Mr. Lu, make your move."
