I summon the heroic spirits of China in the infinite world.

The fact that the main battle hero had been upgraded to LV3 put Dawn at ease.

The monster that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei needed two hits to defeat just now can now be killed in one strike.

However, even though both are at LV3, Liu Bei's attack still requires two hits to kill.

The comparison made him realize that although the total attribute bonus from leveling up was the same, the direction of the dimension of improvement for each hero was not necessarily the same.

Compared to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei has higher defensive and support attributes such as health.

It's common knowledge within the Summoner community that Heroes may have different starting points. For example, one Hero may have 100 total attribute points at LV1, while another may only have 80.

However, this gap is usually not very large, and it can be completely made up for by later upgrades.

Furthermore, the total attribute bonus a hero gains each time they level up is the same.

Therefore, what truly differentiates one Heroic Spirit from another is their Spiritual Characteristics and Combat Abilities.

Using Bai Ye's Ghost Wolf as a reference, Li Ming believes that his Chinese Heroic Spirits are still very powerful.

After clearing out the monster stronghold, he arrived at the agreed location right on time at noon.

"Brother, you've finally arrived."

Bai Ye, who had arrived ahead of time, rode on the back of a wolf and greeted him with a smile.

Today he brought all three ghost wolves, and in addition, there is a new heroic spirit.

This heroic spirit was very small, about the size of a palm.

It has an anthropomorphic flower bud head and legs formed from roots.

"This is..."

Dawn's gaze was drawn to it.

"I just bought this from someone else; it's a recovery-type Heroic Spirit."

Bai Ye placed the plant on his shoulder, seemingly showing off.

There will always be a lucky few who get Heroic Spirit Cards as drops in dungeons, and then sell them in the public chat.

Because dungeons restrict the number of Heroic Spirit cards that can be carried, these non-bound Heroic Spirit cards obtained within the dungeon itself become especially valuable.

Generally speaking, the same Heroic Spirit card will be sold for a higher price elsewhere.

However, considering the nature of this instance, the price is actually about the same as outside.

Bai Ye happened to see someone selling it this morning, and thinking that it might be useful in this BOSS test, he bought it just to be on the safe side.

"So this is where the BOSS is."

Dawn looked towards a valley in front of the two.

The valley is lined with dense, slanted trees that block out most of the sunlight.

In a desolate world, it's rare to see so much greenery at the same time.

It is precisely because of this anomaly that it easily attracts the attention of the outside world.

According to intelligence, that big guy is lurking inside.

"Unfortunately, we don't have any Heroic Spirits skilled in fire-based techniques."

Bai Ye looked up at the top of the valley and sent out a ghost wolf: "Let's go, try not to make any noise."

It must be said that this ghost wolf is more suitable for reconnaissance than the heroes of dawn; it is light-footed and makes no sound.

As the two entered the valley, a stench of decay immediately enveloped them.

But this decay was different from the desolate decay that dawn had in mind; it had a fresh feel to it.

This may sound contradictory, but it is indeed the case.

Because at the base of the rock wall, one can see slight traces of moss and faint moisture.

The valley is actually not very wide, just wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side.

Li Ming and Bai Ye maintained a respectful distance as they walked side by side.

【roar……】

A short while later, the ghost wolf that had gone to investigate returned and growled at Bai Ye.

There's a situation ahead.

Bai Ye slowed down his pace, not entirely certain.

Heroic spirits cannot carry out overly complex commands; "Return upon encountering a monster" is the limit of the commands they can issue.

Li Ming remained silent, instead quietly shielding Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in front of him.

After walking about a hundred meters forward, the two saw their destination.

A very large mountain tortoise.

This large tortoise has an arched shell and its entire body is the color of old wood.

It lay firmly in the middle of the valley, completely blocking the road.

Their arrival did not escape the mountain tortoise's notice, but it merely glanced at the two of them before lowering its head again.

This boss is a relatively rare neutral monster; it will only attack when attacked or when it senses obvious malice.

That's about all the relevant information provided in this small channel.

After all, the person who discovered it, [Letian Letian], only scratched the surface and didn't dare to explore further.

"Turtle-type monsters generally have extremely strong defenses; we might not even be able to break through its defenses."

Bai Ye, with a keen sense of self-awareness, stepped back a few paces and gestured, "Why don't you go first, I'll back you up."

Anyway, the person who originally wanted to take down this boss was Leon Lai, not him.

He had already given up hope when he saw such a huge turtle with his own eyes.

"However, the price of high defense is usually low attack power."

"With my healing spirit here, I should be able to keep you healed for a while."

"Just to be on the safe side, why don't you go for my wolf first?"

"We each have one horse, so there's one left. Would your spirit like to ride one too, and unleash a full wolf rider combo?"

Perhaps because of nervousness, Bai Ye suddenly became more talkative.

"Wolf riders... never mind."

If it were a horse, Dawn would really like to let Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei try it out.

However, he did not refuse Bai Ye's suggestion to let him ride on the wolf's back.

This kid had even turned the wolf's head around beforehand, so that if anything went wrong, he could escape immediately.

After all the preparatory work was arranged, he gave the order for Guan Yu to bring his broadsword to the BOSS.

Based on his observations over the past few days, Guan Yu has the highest attack power among Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei's attack power is slightly lower than Guan Yu's, but his health is higher.

Liu Bei's main strength is his strong defense.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to have Guan Yu take the lead in the attack.

When Guan Yu approached, the BOSS only glanced at him once more before retracting its head, limbs, and tail into its shell, looking as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

[Sold in reduced quantities, first sale!]

Boom!

Then Guan Yu struck the tortoise shell with his sword, sparking bright sparks.

However, upon closer inspection, Li Ming realized that it was indeed as Bai Ye had said.

Only a faint mark remained on the tortoise shell, which did not appear to cause any effective damage.

Even the Heroic Spirit with the strongest attack power couldn't break through the opponent's defense.

【Woohoo!!!】

Although it couldn't break through the defenses, this action still successfully angered the BOSS.

A low, resonant growl emanated from the tortoise shell, and then its limbs emerged.

rumble…

The heavy feet pounded on the ground, causing the mountain wall to sway slightly.

"..." x2

Li Ming and Bai Ye watched the BOSS's actions, momentarily speechless.

Because this guy... is so slow.
