The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

However, it hadn't even taken its first step to launch an attack.

A red figure appeared instantly above its head.

Without any fancy skill effects, the Ghost Bride simply floated there quietly, her pale, jade-like hands gently resting on the giant skull.

[Love and Hatred Lock] activated!

The immense resentment was like countless invisible steel wires.

It instantly pierced into the incredibly hard bone gaps of the Iron Bone Corpse General.

"Click click click—"

A chilling sound of bones cracking rang out.

That iron body with extremely high physical defense was like a crispy biscuit weathered for thousands of years under the corrosive influence of conceptual-level resentment.

Immediately afterwards, a green poisonous mist, like a maggot clinging to a bone, burrowed into the cracks in its skeleton.

[Decay Aura] stacked with [Plague Outbreak]!

This is a true, devastating attack!

They don't even talk to you about armor or magic resistance.

To strip away directly from the essence of life.

The Iron-Bone Corpse suddenly drooped its head, which had been held high, in that instant.

The soul fire in its eye sockets flickered wildly, as if it were enduring some indescribable pain, wanting to swing its greatsword to fight back, but its body was as if it had rusted.

Every joint was trembling and disintegrating uncontrollably.

The 150,000 health bar was like a dam bursting, gushing out uncontrollably!

three seconds.

Just three seconds.

"BOOM—!!"

With a deafening roar, this elite boss, capable of giving a full five-person squad a hard time for half an hour,

The massive body collapsed with a crash, shattering into a pile of rotten bones emitting green smoke.

He was utterly dead.

A crystal emitting a purple glow, and a piece of equipment that looks like a breastplate.

It burst out from the remains of the corpse.

Gu Xu was too lazy to even bend over.

With a thought, the spatial power of the [Domain of Calamity] was activated, and the spoils on the ground vanished instantly, appearing in his backpack the next second.

"Tsk, without Jiang Shu around, I have to come up with my own ideas even to pick up equipment. It's a little strange."

Gu Xu made a somewhat Versailles-like comment, glancing at the contents of his backpack.

[Refined Bone Breastplate (Silver Grade)]

Necromantic Essence (Rare Material)

"It's alright, better than nothing."

……

The square was deathly silent.

If Gu Xuqing's previous actions of mowing down monsters like grass were still within the acceptable range for everyone, then...

This scene has completely shattered the worldviews of these military leaders.

That's a level 15 elite monster!

Moreover, it is the Iron-Bone Corpse General, known for its defense!

In previous years' martial arts competitions, which new team wouldn't be terrified when encountering this kind of BOSS?

You even have to go around it!

The results of it?

That kid named Gu Xu stood still without moving, and the BOSS disappeared as if it had been erased by an eraser.

"This...this isn't right, is it?"

A major general wiped the cold sweat from his brow: "I saw it clearly just now, the BOSS was instantly killed before it even used any skills?"

"What kind of damage numbers are these? Is this a newbie?"

At this moment, Wang Meng's eyes widened to the size of bull's eyes.

He had imagined many scenarios, such as Gu Xu being caught in a tough battle or having to go through a lot of trouble.

But there was one thing he never considered...

Gu Xu could crush this BOSS as easily as crushing an ant.

Just as everyone was still reeling from Gu Xu's instant kill of the BOSS.

A new situation suddenly appeared in one corner of the screen.

At the other entrance to the Bone Forest, a fully armed five-man squad was cautiously sneaking in.

That was a new recruit team belonging to the Candle Dragon Legion.

The leader was a young man who had awakened the S-rank [Swift Swordsman] talent.

He was brandishing his longsword with great enthusiasm, saying to his teammates behind him, "Everyone, hurry up! According to intelligence, there's a level 15 Ironbone Corpse General here. If we take it down, we'll get 10 points!"

"This is our chance to climb the ranks!"

"Don't worry, Captain, my crowd control skills are ready!"

"My explosive arrows are ready!"

This team works together fairly well, and they're clearly aiming for the first kill of the elite monster.

They traversed the withered forest, rushing towards the BOSS spawn point with great anticipation.

However, when they rushed out of the woods and saw the scene before them,

Everyone slammed on the brakes in an instant.

In front of the bone mountain that should have been occupied by a giant BOSS.

Empty.

All that remained were scattered bones, still emitting green toxic gas and corroded into pits.

as well as……

A young man with his back to them, dressed in a black robe, exuding a dark aura.

To his left, floated a red-clad female ghost whose face was obscured and who exuded a sinister aura.

To his right lay a huge rat, its body oozing pus, gnawing on a bone.

This scene, like a scroll painting of hell, is filled with a breathtakingly eerie beauty.

"Where...Where's the BOSS?"

The captain stammered a question, his mind completely blank.

The boss is gone?

These fragments scattered all over the ground... could they be the legendary indestructible Iron-Bone Corpse General?

Hearing the noise, Gu Xu slowly stopped.

He slowly turned around.

Along with him, the eerie bride floating behind him and the laughing rat on the ground also turned their heads at the same time.

Three pairs of eyes—

A pair of eyes as calm as still water.

A pair of eyes, though unseen, exuding a chilling coldness.

A pair of green lights gleaming with greed and malice.

All the blows landed on the five-person team that had mistakenly entered the "forbidden zone".

"Gulp."

Someone swallowed, and the sound was particularly loud in the deathly silence.

The five new recruits of the Candle Dragon Legion felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.

My legs started shaking uncontrollably.

That sense of oppression was a hundred times more terrifying than facing elite monsters outside!

Looking at his comrades who looked terrified, like startled quails, Gu Xu smiled slightly, revealing a seemingly harmless smile.

He gently adjusted his cuffs, his voice soft:

"Wow? You got here pretty fast."

"Wow? You got here pretty fast."

His casual greeting echoed through the desolate, withered forest.

The five new recruits from the Candle Dragon Legion stood frozen in place, completely motionless.

"This...this is..."

A moment later, the archers in the ranks, their throats dry, asked in disbelief, "That's Gu Xu? The sole survivor of the God-Slaying Army?"

No one answered him, but everyone had their own answer in their hearts.

Before entering the secret realm, they had discussed tactics with great confidence in the rest area.

Back then, they were full of vigor and thought Gu Xu was just a lucky freak. They believed that if they met him, they would definitely teach him what teamwork was and what the treacherous nature of society was.

Even just a few minutes ago...

They were also thinking of taking down the BOSS and getting off to a good start.

But now, when this young man in black robes actually stood before them, all their grand pronouncements turned into fish bones stuck in their throats.
