“Nice!”

Chen Mo was overjoyed. He ran to the edge of the pit and fired bolts into it without aiming.

Roar!

The Mutated Slime King bounced around furiously inside the pit, but it could not jump out from it.

“Just let me kill you, enough with the meaningless resistance!” Chen Mo said with a smile.

He was relieved that his efforts were not in vain. He wondered what the Mutated Boss Monster would drop when it died.

A normal Slime King already had a chance of dropping Purple Equipment, thus the Mutated Slime King could surely drop Purple Equipment too!

Once he slew the Mutated Slime King of the current instance of the Rookies Village, he would kill himself and reborn in a different instance of Rookies Village to take on the next Slime King. He would be able to get a full set of Purple Equipment. He should be able to face Inoch by then!

“Crap!”

Chen Mo was indulged in his imagination while attacking the Mutated Slime King. His DPS (damage per second) was high because of the Slime’s Poison. Every normal attack would deal more than sixty damage to the Mutated Slime King!

However, the Mutated Slime King went enraged a little over ten seconds after it was knocked into the pit. It let out a furious cry while expanding a little. It then bounced five meters into the air and crashed down on Chen Mo!

“Damn it, as I thought, fighting a Mutated Boss Monster isn’t going to be easy!” Chen Mo thought.

The pit he put in so much effort to dig up could only trap the Mutated Slime King for slightly over ten seconds. He did have the Dazing Trap, but the skill’s cooldown was twenty-seven seconds. There was still some time left until he could use it again.

Chen Mo’s speed was more or less the same as the Mutated Slime King after equipping the Gale Boots, but he noticed that not only was the Mutated Slime King able to jump higher, it was faster too. Chen Mo tried to kite the Mutated Slime King around the pit, but it soon caught up to him in no time!

Left with no choice, Chen Mo jumped into the pit!

The pit he dug up was not only just to entrap the Boss, but to serve as an obstacle too!

Chen Mo would be thanking the Heavens if the Mutated Slime King ended up jumping into the pit on its own, but he strongly doubted that it would jump back into the pit again after it had just jumped out of it.

As Chen Mo thought, the Mutated Slime King stood on the edge and glared at him. It did not jump into the pit.

“If you aren’t going to jump down, I’ll attack then!”

Chen Mo raised the crossbow. He quickly fired a few bolts at the Mutated Slime King from inside the pit.

Roar!

The Mutated Slime King cried out furiously after receiving a few attacks. It shuddered while a lot of crystalline purple orbs around the size of a fist fell out from its body and rolled into the pit.

“F**k me!”

It was not Chen Mo’s first time seeing them. He clearly remembered how the group of Players had been wiped out instantly by the attack. His HP was more or less the same as those Players. He would die for sure if he was hit by two of the orbs.

There was nowhere he could run to in the pit. Luckily, Chen Mo had placed a rope on four sides of the pit beforehand. he quickly climbed up the rope.

The pit was filled with almost a hundred purple orbs. It was impossible to attack the Mutated Slime King freely inside it.

Even though he could climb the ropes, the time it took to climb out of the pit was clearly longer than jumping into it. When Chen Mo finally reached the top, the Mutated Slime King was already bouncing toward him rapidly. Its pitch-black eyes were glaring at Chen Mo as if it had sworn to end his life.

As expected of a Boss Monster, it was different than the low-level creatures. It was extremely difficult to kill it even when he was trying to outsmart it.

Any other Players would have trouble stopping the Mutated Slime King from coming any closer and end up reviving in the town after dying to the Boss. The purple orbs were still around in the pit. Chen Mo would die if he was to jump back into it.

Luckily, Chen Mo still had some other tricks!

The Hunting Trap!

It was the trump card he had obtained from Gleeson. He only had a limited number of them, thus he was unwilling to use them. However, if he did not use it now, he would die for sure.

Chen Mo stopped hesitating. He quickly placed a Low-level Hunting Trap in the direction that the Mutated Slime King was coming from.

Snap!

The Mutated Slime King was enormous. The tiny Hunting Trap was obviously not big enough to snare it.

However, the Low-level Hunting Trap would place an enormous monster in the Injured state. The Mutated Slime King’s speed dropped significantly after stepping on the Hunting Trap.

Nice! It worked!

Chen Mo let out a relieved sigh. If the Hunting Trap did not have any effect on the Mutated Slime King, he would have no clue what to do anymore.

The Mutated Slime King’s speed had greatly reduced. It could no longer catch up to Chen Mo. Chen Mo turned around to set traps and fire bolts at the Mutated Slime King.

Normally, the effect of the Hunting Trap would last for ten seconds, but since the Mutated Slime King was a Boss Monster, the debuff would be gone in less than ten seconds. However, it had bought Chen Mo enough time. The Dazing Trap was off cooldown soon.

The Mutated Slime King was even angrier when Chen Mo kept attacking it. It tried its best to bounce forward, but it had no chance of catching up to Chen Mo under the Injured state.

It was Chen Mo’s first time using the Hunting Trap. He realized how useful the item was.

The Mutated Slime King’s defense was weaker under the Injured state. His attack was dealing more than 100 damage.

In the few seconds that the Mutated Slime King was under the Injured state, its HP had dropped very quickly, losing over a thousand HP.

Roar!

The Injured state finally ended. The Mutated Slime King cried furiously and charged at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo surprisingly went forward instead of backing away. When the Mutated Slime King was about to slam on him, he moved to the side and tossed a Dazing Trap at it!

Boom!

The Mutated Slime King flew into the air and fell into the pit again.

“Let’s see how you’re going to survive this time!”

After the series of events, the Mutated Slime King only had around eighty thousand HP left. He might be able to kill it after repeating the same sequence a few times!

If the Mutated Slime King did not have any other tricks up in its sleeves, Chen Mo could easily abuse the pit to slowly wear down its HP.

Around ten seconds later, the Mutated Slime King let out a furious roar and jumped out from the pit again.

Chen Mo was expecting it this time. He did not panic after the first experience. When the Mutated Slime King came closer, he jumped into the pit and attacked the Mutated Slime King a few times. The Mutated Slime King started unleashing the purple orbs into the pit. Chen Mo immediately climbed up the robe and used the Hunting Trap on the Mutated Slime King.

80%…70%…60%…30%…

The same sequence repeated a few times. Twenty minutes were gone fairly quickly.

The Mutated Slime King’s HP had dropped to 30%. Chen Mo was looking at the Mutated Slime King nervously.

In traditional games, many Bosses would enter a second phase or go enraged when their HP dropped to a certain level.

He did not recall the Nouveau Riches Club mentioning about the Slime King’s second phase when they were killing it for the first time. He wondered if the Mutated Slime King would have a second phase.

The Mutated Slime King was already very troublesome to deal with. Unless anyone could come up with the same plan of digging up a pit, it was unlikely that anyone would stand a chance against the Mutated Slime King regardless of the numbers of Players they had. After all, Players that were still in Rookies Village lacked impressive equipment.

HP…20%…10%!

The Boss did not mutate further, nor did it have a second phase!

The Mutated Slime King seemed to be angrier, but nothing out of ordinary happened.

Chen Mo let out a relieved sigh. The Mutated Slime King was still a Boss Monster at Rookies Village after all, thus it was not too insane.

Roar!

Chen Mo’s continuous attacks eventually drained the remaining 10% HP of the Mutated Slime King. It fell to the ground after a furious cry.

Clink!

Lots of items scattered across the ground under the Mutated Slime King’s body!

The Mutated Slime King had dropped incredible loots!

Unlike the elite wolves and Mutated Black Goblin, Chen Mo immediately noticed a few pieces of equipment apart from bronze and silver coins. He even saw something like a scroll!

“HAHAHA!”

Chen Mo jumped into the pit excitedly. He quickly picked up the items on the ground.

“Scroll of Skill Mutation?”

Chen Mo noticed an ancient red scroll by his feet. He could not help but pick it up first. He was astounded as soon as he read the item’s description.
