Chapter 63: The Ogre Chieftain
[Demonized Ogre] (Demonized Monster)
Skills: Superhuman strength, reckless charge, tough skin.
Description: An ogre completely corrupted by the abyssal energy.
“Damn, there might be abyssal demons here!” Jiang Chen’s heart sank.
The ogres before him, having been demonized, had black bumpy leather armor growing on their skin surface. This was a product of demonization, able to resist 10% of damage, and their attributes were enhanced as well.
The deeper into the cave, the more thorough the mutation, which said a lot about the situation.
“Lightning Infusion!”
The demonized ogres’ defense had greatly improved. Jiang Chen’s normally unstoppable lightning arrow rain didn’t kill a batch outright, and after the skill ended, he had to follow up with two or three more shots to finish them off.
There were more than thirty ogres in this cave. Jiang Chen’s longbow fired continuously for two minutes, then he stepped over many corpses and moved further into the cave’s depths.
There were still a few demonized ogres here and there, and the deeper he went, the stronger the monsters’ attributes became, with increasingly horrifying mutations.
However, this posed no threat to Jiang Chen.
After about ten minutes inside the cave, Jiang Chen entered a huge stone hall. In the center was a red silk curtain arranged in a way only humans would decorate, and even the floor was paved with stone tiles.
“When did monsters start enjoying such luxuries?”
Jiang Chen held his Painted Sparrow Phantom Bow cautiously, his boots with cyan patterns slowly stepping forward on the floor.
His longbow swept aside the red silk curtain, and what he saw stunned him.
On the bed lay two human women around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, their clothes torn. Their bodies were covered with bruises and contusions. They noticed Jiang Chen’s arrival but showed no extra reaction; their eyes had lost all color.
Clearly, these were two human women who had been violated.
One of the NPC women’s gaze lingered on Jiang Chen for a moment and saw the Yunhuang City badge on his arm, her eyes briefly gaining some light.
“Has Yunhuang City finally noticed the anomaly here?” the woman asked.
Jiang Chen lowered the silk curtain and said, “Yes, Mentor Jona from Yunhuang City discovered the anomaly and sent me to investigate.”
The NPC woman replied, “I see. We were captured here by demonized ogres from Keke West Village. Those filthy monsters defiled us. I’ve lost all will to survive.”
“No, brave warrior, thank you for risking your life to come here. There are still a few girls in the secret prison over there who were also captured and brought here. Please, you must rescue them. I don’t want them to suffer like us… please.”
At that moment, the other woman suddenly muttered, “It’s already too late. That filthy disgusting monster is back. No one can escape; everyone will die by the monster’s hands. Everyone will die.”
Jiang Chen also noticed strange sounds from the nearby corridor.
The next moment, a roughly three-meter tall monster with pitch-black skin stepped out from the corridor. It had a dog’s head and many spikes protruding from its back.
Its current form had almost completely deviated from the ogre template, thoroughly corrupted by the abyssal energy, even showing traits of abyssal creatures.
[Demonized Ogre Chieftain — Shatu]
Quality: Golden-level BOSS
Description: Ogre Shatu’s favorite pastime is listening to the screams of women, especially human women. He spares no effort to torment his playthings and devours them at his most joyous moments.
Even its level was hard to determine, but judging from the level of monsters outside, the opponent’s level likely didn’t exceed 40.
Unexpectedly, this mission had hooked a big fish. If Jiang Chen killed it, he might even get to contact the city lord. The higher the NPC rank, the higher the level of quests and rewards they can offer.
But a golden BOSS wasn’t an easy target. Jiang Chen was only equipped with level 10 gear, so killing the BOSS alone would be tough.
At this moment, the ogre chieftain spoke: “So you’re a weak adventurer from Yunhuang City. Looks like today I get a nice meal.”
A meal? What arrogance!
What to do when the BOSS looks down on you?
What else? Just fight!
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen bent his bow and nocked an arrow, shooting one in blazing fire mode.
This arrow mainly tested the opponent’s basic stats.
Decent damage. The BOSS’s defense must be around 800 to 1000 points. Golden BOSSes always had good defense.
Breaking through that defense significantly is enough.
Jiang Chen immediately changed the arrow effect.
When fighting a BOSS solo, frost arrows gave the greatest benefit.
“Damn adventurer, I underestimated you!” snarled the ogre Chieftain.
Jiang Chen’s figure flickered like a phantom as he shot several arrows quickly at the ogre Chieftain. The damage was impressive, with DPS easily reaching 5000 without strain.
The ogre Chieftain was a 30+ level golden BOSS with health definitely over a million. Jiang Chen knew this, but his only concern was the opponent’s skills, which he still knew nothing about.
“Foolish brat, be cut in half!”
The ogre Chieftain grabbed a stone axe from the corner. Although it was a stone axe, it was extremely sharp in his hands. He activated some unknown skill, as the axe glowed with crimson energy.
It was like a special blade; when the axe swung down, it released energy that could hit Jiang Chen remotely.
Jiang Chen slid quickly to dodge, narrowly avoiding the axe’s glow. While dodging, his bow didn’t rest; crystal arrows imbued with chilling frost shot out continuously.
The ogre Chieftain kept getting hit by arrows and couldn’t even maintain his footing. Furious, he growled, “Damn it, you’re disgusting like a slippery eel! Take my axe!”
As Jiang Chen retreated, he suddenly stopped, gathered energy, and shot a powerful arrow that pierced the BOSS’s neck in an instant. The crystal arrow instantly turned red with blood.
The shock arrow succeeded, interrupting the BOSS’s skill and giving Jiang Chen a short window for stand-and-shoot damage.
After a rapid volley of arrows and follow-up attacks, Jiang Chen dealt 15,000 damage in just one second, but this also thoroughly enraged the ogre chieftain…
