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

Bang! ! !

The stone monkey collided with the BOSS, producing a sound like exploding rocks.

The sound was deafening due to the narrow passageway of the valley.

"Holy crap!"

Bai Ye belatedly covered his ears, feeling as if his head was buzzing from the shock.

He figured it out; this was probably some kind of triggered counterattack after being put on the defensive.

At this moment, a small crack appeared on the BOSS's shell.

"Wow, she actually broke through!"

The sight left Bai Ye speechless.

At the same time, he was also filled with lingering fear, thinking that if that attack had hit his own Ghost Wolf, it would probably have killed him instantly.

【Aww!!】

Blood seeped from the BOSS turtle's nose after being hit hard, indicating that it had suffered some degree of injury.

When a tortoise's shell is so hard that it is difficult to break with sharp weapons, a shock attack can actually be more effective.

However, the injury aroused its bestial instincts, and it tried to bite the stone monkey with its big mouth.

However, the stone monkey was too round to bite properly, so when it got close, the only option was to shake its head and bump into it.

Without the ability to bite, its attack threat is significantly reduced.

boom!

However, a BOSS is still a BOSS, and this whip still sent the stone monkey flying far away.

"I almost forgot!"

Only then did Bai Ye remember to quickly have the heroic spirit heal the stone monkey.

And it was a relentless, continuous grinding, regardless of the cost.

After all, the only hope of defeating this BOSS right now rests entirely on the Stone Monkey.

"Hurry up, keep attacking!"

Dawn urged Bai Ye to control the Ghost Wolf again.

Actually, he wasn't very confident either, because even with the healing spirits helping to restore his health, the stone monkey still lost a lot of health points.

Especially in the wild, the healing of heroes shouldn't be possible indefinitely.

Therefore, at this time, we need to rely on other heroic spirits.

Under his command, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei once again took the lead.

Their tactics changed; they no longer attacked but focused on defense, forming a human wall to block the BOSS's attacks for the stone monkey.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

When the Ghost Wolf had fully charged its attack again, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei immediately moved aside.

Bang!

The stone monkey crashed into it again, and this time it hit the same spot with pinpoint accuracy.

The cracks on the BOSS turtle's shell have widened further.

"There's definitely potential!"

Bai Ye, watching from the side, was immediately invigorated.

……

At the same time, behind a large rock outside the valley.

Two furtive figures were watching the valley entrance where loud crashing sounds were frequently heard.

"Are you sure you saw Bai Ye enter the valley?"

The man who spoke was about twenty years old, and his triangular eyes and hooked nose gave him a sinister air.

"You're absolutely not mistaken."

The seemingly honest and simple-minded young man patted his chest and guaranteed, "I've been following him here ever since he bought the Heroic Spirit Card from me."

"Okay, I understand. You did a great job."

The man nodded upon hearing this.

"What about the agreed-upon compensation...?"

The boy chuckled and rubbed his hands together.

The next second, a cold dagger silently emerged from his back and pierced him through the heart.

The cloaked spirit holding a dagger slowly emerged, its expression indifferent.

"you……!"

The boy stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but the words caught in his throat.

He collapsed to the ground with a thud, trying to reach out and grab the other person's foot, but the overwhelming sense of powerlessness throughout his body prevented him from doing so.

"..."

The man glanced down at the life slipping away, then quickly looked away.

"I never imagined I would have the opportunity to contribute to my lord's siege plan."

"Knowing that his son died in the dungeon should more or less disturb the city lord's mind."

"However, this matter needs to be handled gradually."

"First, we need to find out the exact location of his territory."

He started to think about it.

……

【Aww…】

The giant mountain tortoise boss finally succumbed to the onslaught of the heroic spirits and slowly collapsed.

In reality, the stone monkey only made four impacts before it succumbed and died.

However, it was precisely because of these continuous impacts that the tortoise shell was truly breached, giving the other heroic spirits a chance to prove their worth.

Under Li Ming's command, Zhang Fei leaped onto the turtle's back and launched a fierce attack on the open wound, eventually defeating the BOSS.

"It actually worked!"

Even with the facts right in front of him, Bai Ye still found it hard to believe.

But a white light flashed across the Ghost Wolf, upgrading it to LV3 and further enhancing the sense of reality.

The Stone Monkey's level has been increased to LV3.

The Heroic Spirit's attributes have been improved.

Meanwhile, Dawn also received a notification.

Unlike Bai Ye's ghost wolf, which wasn't far from LV3, the stone monkey gained almost a full bar of experience points.

Your Summoner Rank has been increased to LV4.

[Received 500 Cubic Coins and 1 Cubic Stone Upgrade Card.]

Even he himself leveled up to LV4. He had to admit that the experience points given by this BOSS were really plentiful, enough to match its difficulty.

Unfortunately, after just a glance at the milestone, it was clear that although the BOSS was powerful, it only counted as "1" in terms of killing monster leaders.

"Got some loot, bro."

At this moment, Bai Ye happily pointed to the location of the BOSS.

After it turned into blue light and dissipated, it left behind a huge, glittering cube coin and three cards.

"You can keep the cards, just give me a little bit of the cube coins."

However, Bai Ye did not pick it up, choosing to avoid suspicion with great discretion.

In fact, he could already recognize what those two cards were just by looking at the patterns on the cards.

Although he was tempted, he didn't want to get it.

To be fair, the greatest credit for defeating this BOSS belongs to Dawn.

Therefore, the loot should be picked up by the opponent.

"Let's just forget about it, let's not break up."

However, Li Ming shook his head.

"Alright."

On the surface, Bai Ye readily agreed with everything, but inwardly his opinion of Li Ming had lowered somewhat.

This boss will only drop a thousand or so coins at most, which he doesn't need.

However, this kind of behavior of taking everything for oneself is indeed unpleasant.

"You can take all the cube coins."

But that's not what Dawn actually meant at all.

Although I am the main force in this battle, the process would probably be much more troublesome without Bai Ye's assistance.

"OK."

Bai Ye then realized he had misunderstood and grinned.

So he walked up to it confidently and scooped up the cube coin.

Just as I predicted, 1189 cubic coins.

The two cards that Dawn received were also of exceptional quality.

You have obtained a Level 1 Upgrade Card (Broken Force) x1.

You have obtained 1 Cube Stone Upgrade Card.

These are both things he can use right away.

After taking all their spoils, the two left the valley.

In order not to reveal the Scarecrow's abilities, Dawn chose to ride back with Bai Ye on wolves.

Unbeknownst to them, their whereabouts were being observed by a pair of eyes hiding outside the valley.
