【烈阳之炎王龙：首领模板。区域BOSS，古龙。HP=2.24W/2.25W、MP=3K/3K。力量75、敏捷75、精神60、魅力70。】

[Unit Traits/Skills - Sunfire, Veteran, Explosive Dust, Flame Burst, Ley Line Nuclear Explosion, Spouse Bond (Not Activated)]

As the serpentine light and shadow that flew out from Cheng Tian's mask burrowed into the body of the Flame King Dragon, its health bar data was simultaneously displayed.

This was the first time Cheng Tian had ever seen a BOSS unit whose attributes had all exceeded their maximum values.

Although in terms of health, it is not as high as many other boss units in Cheng Tian's past dungeons, those high-health units usually have some kind of building or vehicle characteristics. As a trade-off for high health, attributes such as agility are also low, or even only 1 point to indicate that the attribute is still alive.

However, Teostra is clearly an individual with high overall quality and almost no weaknesses. It is unknown whether it was originally like this or whether the fragment of the Sun God Gem on its head gave it something.

A strength-to-health ratio as high as 1:300 is indeed terrifying, especially compared to the fact that even after job advancement and bloodline purification, most players only hover around 1:20. This makes it even more suffocating.

However, although the BOSS's health and mana bars are ridiculously high, players have equipment and items to rely on, so it's not entirely impossible to defeat it.

However, when it came to Cheng Tian's turn, the situation was slightly different.

The Teostra in front of us is almost on par with a large golden crown, meaning it is about 22 meters long from head to tail. It is a behemoth among its kind. Even the Sauron, which was previously enhanced by the Aether Crystal, looks like a child in front of it.

However, the Crimson Deviljho, which had a bond with Cheng, was almost two sizes larger than the Teostra. Unlike the Teostra, it didn't have the flashy mane and wings, making it appear more rounded and plump. (Starry Sky Outpost: This guy has stolen countless hunters' captured dragons!)

Moreover, judging from the data alone, Crimson, who had been released into the wild and then returned to Cheng Tian's Bond Stone, has also received further attribute enhancements after being balanced and synchronized with the difficulty of the B-level dungeon.

原本的深红恐暴龙基础数据为——HP=1470/1470、MP=70/70。力量42、敏捷25、精神14、魅力20。

而在进行了副本难度同步后，又因为成为了程天的羁绊随行兽而进行了数值平衡后，最终深红的个体数据变成了——HP=8.5K/8.5K、MP=200/200。力量85、敏捷49、精神20、魅力20。

Three of the data points are completely inferior to Teostra, but the Strength attribute is superior to Teostra.

As for the situation where the health is lagging behind, it is actually the result of numerical balance.

Just like hunters taming pets in World of Warcraft, when wild beasts become pets, their strength-to-health ratio drops from that of wild NPCs to a value closer to that of players. If it hadn't become Cheng's bond companion, Crimson, as a land police officer, would have at least 2+ health.

However, although the health points have decreased, there are other areas to balance them.

For example, the various skills and items from the master, the smoother attacks after becoming one with the master, and the comprehensive enhancement after merging into one with the master.

The Rathalos's feline pounce was met head-on by the Crimson Deviljho, causing it to stumble.

In the New World, there are not many units that can directly confront it, but unfortunately, Crimson is one of them.

And it’s not over yet.

A flash of light appeared on Cheng's body, and he transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the Deviljho's body. At the center of the Deviljho's forehead, Cheng's signature Tai Chi Eye appeared. Simultaneously, Crimson's attributes received a second surge, increasing from 85 Strength, 49 Agility, 20 Spirit, and 20 Charisma to 97 Strength, 50 (61) Agility, 45 Spirit, and 32 Charisma.
The Crimson Deviljho's attributes all received a 25% boost from Cheng's base attributes!

The power difference between the two sides was already significant, and it was amplified in an instant. So when the Teostra, which was dizzy from the head-on collision, heard the footsteps that almost shook the earth, it hurriedly flapped its wings, spraying out a large amount of explosive dust and launching its massive body into the air.

Despite possessing the excellent qualities of "Crimson Ranger" and unable to break through its agility limits, Crimson's powerful charge was still dodged by Teostra at the last second.

Moreover, when the Crimson Deviljho collided with the dazzling explosive dust that resembled fireflies dancing in the sky, the small flames spewed from Teostra's mouth also ignited the dust it had released.

The continuous small explosions completely enveloped the crimson area!

But is it safe in the air?
Eileen, who had switched back to using the Elven Longbow from her Dragon Cannon, remarked that those who drown are all good swimmers, and those who fall to their deaths are all good flyers.

The wind-elemental arrow, imbued with powerful penetrating force, pierced through the air with unparalleled precision, passing right through the membrane of Teostra's outstretched wings!

Teostra's fleshy wings couldn't hold the wind in time, and it crashed on the spot.

It was at this very moment that, from the still-lingering smoke and dust of the explosion directly below, a bizarre maw, second only to the "Strange Dragon/Electric Dragon" in Monster Hunter history, emerged and bit down on Teostra's lower neck as if catching a ball!

Although Teostra's dust consumption is low, its explosion is considerable and it has a powerful knockback effect.

Unfortunately, the Crimson Deviljho possesses a "Deep Spade" mutated bloodline within its body.

Although the origin of this mutated bloodline is only from MapleStory, and even the dragon beast units with multiple bloodline mutations in MapleStory are far less abnormal than Monster Hunter, in some aspects, the old games are more unreasonable than the new games.

As walking natural disasters, each ancient dragon has a corresponding natural phenomenon.

Kirin corresponds to thunder, Kushala Daora corresponds to storm, and Zorah Magdaros corresponds to volcanic eruption. So, what about Teostra?
It represents the rhythm of lava.

While representing the rhythm of magma, Teostra also draws power from the magma of the earth's veins and stores it in its body, releasing it when needed. This means that its dust explosion is essentially another manifestation of scorching lava.

The Crimson Deviljho possesses a bloodline-level innate immunity to lava!

Under Cheng Tian's guidance, Crimson not only bit Teostra's neck, but also activated a special skill called "Dragon Armament" on the spot.

【Dragon Armament is in the process of being checked——】

【Judgment successful.】

[Until the Teostra breaks free from the Crimson Deviljho's maw, it will provide the Crimson Deviljho with an additional attack bonus in the form of "Teostra's Explosive Dual Blades".]
