Chapter 480 Ye Yao's Challenge
His health dropped by a third.
"Treatment!" he shouted.
The priest behind him immediately healed him, restoring his health to full.
The mage begins to deal damage.
Fireballs, ice arrows, and arcane missiles slammed into the gargoyle, each strike only taking away a small chunk of its health.
The gargoyle's health bar is slowly decreasing.
98%......95%......92%......
Ye Yao concealed herself in the darkness and slowly moved behind the gargoyle.
The gargoyle's attention was entirely focused on the warrior in front of it, and it did not notice the danger behind it.
Ye Yao waited for her opportunity.
Finally, the gargoyle unleashed an area-of-effect spell, forcing the warrior to retreat.
At that very moment—
Ye Yao made her move.
Her dagger pierced out like a venomous snake, striking precisely the gargoyle's vital spot on the back of its neck.
[Shadow Backstab] - Triggered!
Crit!
The gargoyle let out a mournful roar, and its health bar dropped drastically.
It turned around, intending to attack the attacker behind it.
But Ye Yao had already disappeared into the darkness once again.
The gargoyles' hatred returned to the warrior.
The battle continues.
92%......87%......83%......
Ye Yao emerged from the darkness time and time again, striking vital points each time.
The gargoyle's health bar is getting lower and lower.
50%......40%......30%......
Finally, when the health bar dropped to 20%, the gargoyle went berserk.
Its entire body glowed with a dark red light, and it brandished its stone claws, attacking everything around it wildly.
The warrior was swatted away by a claw, the mage was forced to retreat, and the healer desperately tried to heal him.
"Stay calm!" Ye Yao's voice came from the darkness. "It's dying! Don't panic!"
The group regained their composure.
The warriors went back up, the mages continued to deal damage, and the healers gritted their teeth and persevered.
10%......5%......1%......
The final blow.
Ye Yao emerged from the darkness, her dagger plunging deep into the gargoyle's nape.
boom--!!!
The gargoyle's enormous body crashed down, turning into a pile of rubble.

Ye Yao landed on the platform, panting heavily.
The battle lasted less than ten minutes, but she was greatly exhausted.
Stealth, flanking, assassination—every move requires intense concentration.
Shen Yiyi ran over.
"President, are you alright?"
Ye Yao shook her head.
"It's okay. Continue."
She looked towards the center of the platform. There, a portal of light appeared, leading to the second level.
"Walk."
The ten-person team stepped into the portal.
......
In the eastern border, on a certain plain.
Chen Shan chopped down the giant sand lizard in front of him with an axe and wiped the blood from his face.
"Which one is it?" he asked.
Situ Zhen stood to the side, adjusting his glasses.
"The twenty-seventh today."
Chen Shan grinned.
"It's alright. It's just too slow."
He looked behind him.
More than three hundred people were resting. Those were all the members of his guild "Dragon Abyss" in the Eastern Territory.
After more than a day of gathering, everyone finally assembled.
Situ Zhen said, "That's already pretty good. Right now, there are only a handful of guilds in the Eastern Territory with three or four hundred members. Even the combined number of members in the War Alliance and Crimson Romance is probably less than ours."
Chen Shan nodded.
"I wonder what those two guys are doing."
Situ Zhen said, "During the overlap period, I heard they were with Lin Tian. They must be doing quite well."
Chen Shan sighed.
"Lin Tian... that freak. When will I be able to have his kind of strength?"
Situ Zhen smiled.
"President, you're already amazing."
Chen Shan shook his head.
"Not enough. Far from it."
He gripped the battle axe tightly in his hand.
"I need to become stronger. At least I need to be able to exchange a few blows with Lin Tian."
Just then, a young soldier ran over excitedly.
"President! President! There's good news!"
Chen Shan looked at him.
"What good news?"
The soldier was panting, his face full of excitement.
"I...I found a BOSS about thirty miles to the east!"
Chen Shan's eyes lit up.
"BOSS? What level?"
The soldier said, "I don't know. But it looked really big and fierce. There was a group of wild monsters surrounding it, like they were protecting it. I took a look from afar and didn't dare to get close."
Chen Shan laughed heartily.
"Boss! Great! I was just looking for a place to practice!"
He turned around and looked at the more than three hundred people behind him.
"Brothers! Did you hear that? There's a boss to fight! Anyone want to go?"
The crowd shouted in unison.
"dare!"
Chen Shan picked up his battle axe.
"Let's go! Let's show that boss what the Dragon Abyss Guild is all about!"
More than three hundred people set off eastward in a grand procession.
......
In a valley in the eastern border region.
Chen Shan stood on a boulder, looking down at the scene below.
Deep in the valley, there was indeed a huge monster.
It was a colossal rock beast, over forty meters long, its entire body composed of bluish-gray rock.
Its limbs are as thick as mountains, and the ground trembles slightly with every step it takes.
The rocks on its back form countless sharp protrusions, like a sword mountain.
Around it, hundreds of level 50+ monsters roamed, like its guards.
Mountain Giant
Rating: 55
Skills: Earthquake Stomp, Rock Throw, Landslide, Berserk...
Situ Zhen stood beside Chen Shan, his expression grave.
"Level 55 boss."
Chen Shan nodded.
"Can you fight?"
Situ Zhen thought about it.
"Yes, but at a price."
Chen Shan remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he laughed.
"Then let's fight. The brothers have been with me for so long, it's time they saw what a real fight is like."
He turned around and looked at the more than three hundred people behind him.
"Brothers! This is going to be a tough battle! Some people might die, some might lose equipment, and the whole team might be wiped out. But I promise, everyone who survives will get a huge share of guild contribution points!!"
The crowd cheered.
"Dragon Abyss! Dragon Abyss! Dragon Abyss!"
Chen Shan raised his battle axe.
"Follow me!"
More than 300 people surged into the valley like a tide.
The battle begins.
......
The mountain giant discovered the intruders and let out a deafening roar.
The surrounding monsters frantically pounced on the members of the Dragon Abyss Guild.
The two sides were locked in a fierce struggle in the valley.
Chen Shanding was at the very front.
His [Unbreakable Barrier] talent grants him terrifying defensive capabilities.
Those level 50+ monsters could only deal a small amount of damage when they attacked him.
His health points exceed 500,000.
"Brothers! Charge with me!"
He chopped down a sand giant lizard with an axe and continued onward.
Situ Zhen was directing from behind.
"Mages, focus fire on those on the left! Warriors, hold the line on the right! Assassins, flank and cut through the backline!"
