Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 913 - 810: Bro, You’re So Cool!

[Polluted Fusion Skeleton: Advanced Monster]

The boss in the third area of the Mizhang Ridge dungeon is at a higher level than the bosses in the previous two areas, but for Jiang Yuan, who has weathered many storms, it's no longer a tough challenge.

It's about ten meters tall, seemingly a slightly bloated skeleton at first glance, but upon closer inspection—it's formed from countless bones of varying sizes fused together.

Occasionally, an animal skull would emerge from its thigh or back, and its body would intermittently spew out black polluted air like a jet, making it look filthy and disgusting, very unsettling.

"Everyone stand back, let me handle this!" Jiang Yuan shouted, starting with zero frames, locking onto the target and directly throwing a Five Elements Cloud-Piercing Thunder.

"Crack!"

Amidst the crashing thunder, Qing Niao's eye twitched, yelling hoarsely, "Brother! No!"

But it was already too late.

There was no cast time for him to use his skill, and there was no stop button midway. Even though he heard his sister's voice trying to stop him, he could only watch as the thunderbolt struck down.

[Evasion!]

Unexpectedly, the fierce thunder fell on the opponent's head, yet not a single drop of blood was lost, and two words slowly floated above the boss's head.

Jiang Yuan immediately let out a sigh of relief, thinking since it evaded, there shouldn't be any dangerous consequences. However, he couldn't have imagined that this boss was such an expert at playing dead!

Its health bar was full, without losing a single point, yet it 'crackled' and shattered, shattering into various bone frames of different shapes and sizes, crawling chaotically on the ground.

"Run! Run! Quickly!" Qing Niao, practiced in her movements, picked up her axe and dashed off;

The skylark flapped its wings frantically, flying erratically, while still reminding its owner, "Sir, run quickly, those bone spikes will come out from underground and stab your feet! Flying won't help, they'll still stab you!"

Jiang Yuan: ...

Too late again, he was already stabbed.

Somehow, those sharp bone spikes emerged from the ground, delivering a sudden thrust.

[Evasion!] 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

His health bar lit up in his view, while two larger words floated by.

Well, after a lively exchange, neither side lost a single drop of blood.

"Brother! Run quickly! It has more tricks up its sleeve!" Qing Niao turned her head to see her brother still standing in place and shouted, "Don't be fooled by those bone spikes retracting, that's just to deceive you, it'll soon launch an even bigger attack!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan tossed a ball of Ice Flame, while his armlet automatically opened, smoothly transforming into a golden disc that lifted him into the air.

Sure enough, the skeleton monster's stabbing attack missed, and more bone spikes launched another assault over a larger area.

"Bang bang bang!"

Countless bone spikes shot upward, hitting the disc without causing any damage, and instead were ignited by the pollutant-burning Ice Flame.

For a moment, blue flowing flames rose atop the white bone spikes, with -60, -50... numbers floating in his view. The skeleton monster clearly didn't expect that spreading out would make it burn even more fiercely, crawling faster, desperately trying to burrow into the ground to extinguish the flames.

Having used a Skill Upgrade Card, the Level Six Ice Flame was no longer the Little Karami from before, definitely not easily extinguishable.

The bone spikes burned wherever they burrowed.

Jiang Yuan stood with hands behind his back, supported by the golden disc in mid-air, watching the fire spread, knowing that the skeleton monster couldn't fuse for a while. He flew over to Qing Niao, landed beside her, and asked with a smile: "Where's your fire? Why haven't you used it?"

"I used it, but my realm is too low now, and my internal Spiritual Power is limited. I can't sustain such a large-scale burn," Qing Niao replied, her eyes wide with genuine admiration, shining brightly, "Brother, you're so cool!"

She had hoped to seize the rare opportunity to shine, planning to quietly defeat the skeleton monster with Skylark so her brother would see her in a new light.

To her surprise, this creature was a 'soft touch'!

Before even starting a fight, it disintegrated everywhere and sneak attacked her instead.

After several exchanges, they gained no advantage, and her weapon was dragged away by the crawling bone spikes, fused into the skeleton monster, and couldn't be pulled out.

Unable to fight effectively and with no possibility of escape, she had no choice but to seek her brother's help.

He arrived quickly; though he hadn't figured out the skeleton monster's tactics, he executed a flawless counter with no harm, turning the Ice Flame he had given her against their enemy.

Qing Niao felt both admiration and envy, thankful for the Celestial Fire; look at how others have raised such an Ice Flame, what has it been eating to grow so big? Way more ferocious than the Flame from last time!

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Yuan was taken aback, realizing that the Ice Flame couldn't just be thrown to use; it required Spiritual Power support to work.

It seems like innate skills aren't different from other Cultivation Skills and Magical Treasures.

In simple terms, they're like household appliances—the more 'electricity' the owner has, the more they can use and for longer durations; without sufficient power, no matter how advanced the appliances are, they can't be turned on.

Comparing like this, the system's data-driven approach is really exhilarating!

"Sir, you're amazing. If I can cultivate to even half your strength, I'd be perfectly satisfied," Skylark said with starry eyes, its small body with big eyes looking adorably cute.

"You're cultivating in the fire element, and with your great talent, you should be able to build your Foundation within a few days." Qing Niao touched its little head jokingly said, "Put in some more effort, raise your realm a bit more, and my brother might grant you a Divine Fire, and you'll be amazing."

"Really?" Little Skylark tilted its head, blinking starry eyes at Jiang Yuan.
