Chapter 278 – West Emerges Again (1/2)

How could a high-rank Yao boss as powerful as the Violent Ox King be killed by just Fatty and SnowPhoenix? The ox was only hit with a temporary set back and let them gained the upper hand. As an ice mage, SnowPhoenix just happened to be the bane of fire-attribute existences, which was why she brought her guild members here to grind. When a bunch of ice magic spells were cast in a row, the Violent Ox King was tightly oppressed.

“Attack!” Seeing the ox’s mighty magma land on them as well, the rest of ShowPhoenix’s guildmates were angered and started attacking.

All sorts of skills rained on the boss, and a portion of them, unknown whether accidentally or deliberately, landed on Fatty.

“Fudge! Can you guys pay attention?!” Fatty cursed and shouted.

When all of SnowPhoenix’s control skills were on cooldown, the boss took the chance to immediately cast the fire ring that had knocked Fatty flying earlier. The ring sent everyone flying over ten meters. The boss finally escaped the vexing situation and seized the initiative.

Boom! A leg as thick as a millstone heavily stomped on the ground. The heavens swayed and the earth shook, the land ruptured and fire erupted violently.

“AHH!” Wretched screams resounded as several players were one-shotted.

SnowPhoenix’s face abruptly changed as he instantly ordered, “Move back, quickly move back!”

Having shooed away the others, the Violent Ox King looked around before its huge bell-round eyes settled on Fatty.

“Whatcha looking at? Haven’t seen a handsome man before?” Fatty yelled at the boss as he hovered in the air.

“MOO!” the ox suddenly roared. From a distance all the way until right up to where they were, the earth rumbled and more roars echoed endlessly, followed by an approaching tide of red – a pack of no less than ten thousand Violent Oxen.

“Run! It’s calling for its mobs,” screamed SnowPhoenix. Disregarding Fatty, she hastily turned and ran in the other direction.

Making the mobs chase after SnowPhoenix and the others, the Violent Ox King’s hooves blazed up again. It stepped on the air and started a deadly pursue after Fatty.

Fatty slowly flapped his Zephyr Wings. Watching as the ox approach, he didn’t retreat.

Dark Sacrificer Inky appeared in front of Fatty and instantly cast Mental Breakdown. With a bang, the ox was forcefully pushed back several meters, putting some distance between them.

“Ahhh!” More wretched screams rang out. The team members led by SnowPhoenix were simply powerless against the tide of oxen and died one after another. Only a few escaped with their lives.

Whoosh! A pair of wings grew out from SnowPhoenix’s back and she also slowly flew up.

“Money Grubber, it’s all because of you!” Seeing her teammates die miserable deaths, SnowPhoenix was so angry her chest kept heaving.

“You’re blaming me? You think the monsters won’t attack you without me here?” Fatty pouted.

SnowPhoenix stiffened. She couldn’t say anything to that.

Boom! The Violent Ox King charged at Fatty once more. At the same time, it spewed out a huge flame that spread like fireworks dragging a long tail as it rocketed towards Fatty.

“Icy Fortress!” SnowPhoenix first cast a defensive barrier on herself. Then, to everyone’s surprise, she quickly moved back, intending to retreat.

“You don’t want to avenge them?” Fatty instigated.

“The two of us are no match for this monster. Revenge will have to wait until our guild master brings an army here.” SnowPhoenix kept retreating. When she saw that the Violent Ox King didn’t give chase, she simply stood there to watch the show. She told Fatty, “Don’t blame me for not fulfilling my promise. Even if I try, I’ll die all the same. You’re better off hurrying back to town.”

The Violent Ox King was equal to a player of the 8th class enhancement, so it naturally was impossible for the two who had just reached 50 to beat it. The creature’s health alone was enough to tire them to death.

Fatty was noncommittal. If SnowPhoenix couldn’t help him out with anything, he wouldn’t insist on dragging her to her death. However, since he himself had been targeted by the boss, he couldn’t run even if he wanted to.

As the Elemental Guard once again appeared, Fatty slowly lowered his elevation. In the air and relying on the Zephyr Wings wasn’t as convenient as being on the ground.

A sky full of flames struck the Elemental barrier. Thanks to the 80% elemental damage decrease, Fatty only needed to eat a red pill.

The Violent Ox King was neither slow nor hurried as it took steps towards Fatty. Just now, Fatty had ridden on its back because of its carelessness, which was an utter humiliation for an advanced boss like itself. The ox wanted to properly torture Fatty so as to eliminate the fury in its heart.

“You don’t have to do this. What’s the point of killing and fighting all day? How about we all sit down and negotiate?” Fatty said to the ox.

Rumble! The earth trembled as the pack of oxen turned around and charged towards Fatty.

“I run!” Fatty Earthwalked into the middle of the pack and clung to a random ox’s belly. No one could see him at all from above.

Sweeping the sky without a sign of Fatty, the Violent Ox King bellowed. All of a sudden, the pack of oxen stopped, then… lay down on their bellies.

Bam! Fatty felt like he had been smashed by a megalith. His bones and muscles felt broken, and his health sharply plummeted. However, he only let out a cry at first. Then, he endured the pain and didn’t reveal himself.
