Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

Of course—it's second to last.

This is the second ancient boss that can be challenged.

The first one is Hera, who is ranked ahead of the Sirens.

The Sirens are located in the map of the Genos Deep Sea.

"So? Is the ancient boss Sirens inside? I remember it was inside a super big seashell."

Mo Fan asked.

A moment later, Feng Ling'er replied to the message.

"Let me look carefully."

The communication panel fell silent for a moment.

Mo Fan sat on the stone steps at the edge of the Magic Crystal Plaza, waiting patiently.

The square was still bustling with people.

However, there seemed to be more people in the square than before he entered the secret realm.

About seven or eight minutes passed.

News from Wind Chimes has arrived.

And this time, it's not text.

It's a picture.

Mo Fan clicked on the picture and took a look—

In the center of the image is a gigantic seashell.

The seashell was a deep, dark blue, its surface covered with intricate patterns that reflected a faint, cold light in the seawater. The two lobes of the shell were tightly closed, with occasional glimmers of golden light seeping through the gaps.

The bottom of the shell sits atop a massive coral base, surrounded by scattered fragments of shells and starfish, resembling some kind of altar.

The entire shell is at least three or four meters tall.

"Found it." Wind Chime's text message followed immediately.

A glint of light flashed in Mo Fan's eyes.

Sure enough, it's here.

Immediately afterwards, Wind Chime sent another message.

"I'll try to see if I can trigger it."

Mo Fan did not stop him.

During the closed beta, triggering this ancient boss was very simple—just walk up to it and tap the shell.

(Or was it star magic? The author can't quite remember, after all, the Hero Challenge is over, and the Sirens inside Genos's deep-sea shell are gone too.)

If the conditions are met, the challenge can be started.

If the conditions are not met, then you cannot take on the challenge.

About a minute later.

Wind Chimes sent another message.

This time it's a text message and an image.

"Triggered. A phantom has appeared."

Mo Fan clicked on the picture.

In the image, the giant seashell has slowly opened a crack, and golden light emanating from the crack spreads across the seawater like diluted sunlight.

Above the seashell, a majestic phantom slowly emerges.

It was a huge merman male, wielding a trident, with a strong physique, a fish tail, and blond hair.

The phantom's face was cold and majestic, its long golden hair flowing in the seawater, and the tip of its trident flashing with eerie blue lightning.

Even though it's just a blurry image, the sense of oppression still comes through the picture.

Immediately afterwards, Wind Chime sent a screenshot of the panel notification.

[Hint: The Hero's Challenge - Ancient BOSS - Sirens has been triggered.]

[Challenge Requirements: Defeat Hera, and have your pet reach level 30 or higher.]

[The player's current pet level is insufficient, and the prerequisite boss Hera has not been defeated. Unable to challenge.]

(The game requires level 25 and above; this has been slightly adjusted.)

Upon seeing this prompt, Mo Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Level 30 or above.

We still need to defeat Hera first.

Hera is the first ancient boss in the Hero's Challenge.

During the closed beta, Hera's location was...

Mo Fan closed his eyes and recalled for a moment.

Hera—if I remember correctly, it should be in the Prada plains.

In other words, Hera's conditions are likely similar, requiring the pet to reach a certain level, most likely level 25 or higher.

Chapter 118 Zhuang Xiao?

"It's pretty much the same as the closed beta test," Mo Fan thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, the siren's phantom vanished into nothingness.

The giant seashell closed up again, returning to its previous silence.

Wind Chimes sent its last message.

"The ancient boss is indeed here. But it's currently unchallenging. My level isn't high enough, and I haven't defeated the prerequisite bosses."

Mo Fan replied, "Okay, I understand. No rush. We'll talk about it when I reach the required level."

"it is good."

Communication has temporarily come to an end.

Mo Fan turned off the control panel, leaned against the stone steps, his thoughts still churning.

Ancient bosses do indeed exist in the current dungeons.

This means that the Brave Challenge route is available.

You might even be able to obtain a skill stone that grants the ability to settle scores quickly and decisively.

In addition to skill stones, defeating ancient bosses will also drop a lot of experience points and rewards.

During the closed beta, the experience dropped by ancient bosses was quite substantial.

If this were placed in today's world—

"I wonder what loot these ancient bosses will drop now?"

Mo Fan muttered to himself.

The loot drops during the closed beta period and the loot drops after merging with reality are unlikely to be exactly the same.

Just like cocoa nuts, rock pebbles, and skill stones, although their names and functions are largely the same as during the closed beta, there have been some changes in the details.

The drops from ancient bosses are probably similar.

"However, whatever falls, it certainly won't be bad."

Mo Fan was certain of this.

After all, the status of an ancient BOSS is what it is.

That's one of the most challenging challenges in the entire Rock Kingdom system.

"However, since the Hero's Challenge exists, then the Eight Badges, and other things, must also exist, right...?"

Mo Fan pondered this in his heart and waited for Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Ling'er to come out at the Mo Fan Magic Crystal Plaza.

......

Just as Mo Fan was waiting, a figure suddenly walked towards him.

"Big boss?"

A voice, tinged with a hint of probing and doubt, came from the side.

Mo Fan turned his head.

A young man stood not far away, his eyes wide, staring at him in disbelief. The man was wearing a grass-green hoodie, not particularly tall, but full of energy, his eyes shining as if he had discovered some rare treasure.

"My God, it really is you, boss!"

The person opposite looked delighted and became excited, quickly walking over.

Mo Fan looked the other person up and down.

The face looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't quite place it at first.

Seeing Mo Fan's expression, the other person quickly pointed to his face and said repeatedly:

"Boss, you've forgotten me? It's me, Zhuang Xiao!"

"It's the player from the Ancient Cocoa Tree Secret Realm, the one with the Meow Fishing mini-game—the one with the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles pet!"

Zhuang Xiao.

Yunnan Bridge Noodles.

Mo Fan's memory instantly surfaced—back then, in the fishing mini-game, this player, with the 60% success rate of the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles, successfully caught the first fish and shared the information from the exchange panel with everyone present.

I remembered.

Mo Fan nodded slightly: "Now that I think about it, I have to thank you for sharing the information back then."
