Chun didn't have to wait long.

Kasha alerted again: "They're here! Although we can't see how many heads, it's clearly much stronger than the Six-headed Serpent from before!"

Chun decisively ordered: "Activate defense, throw the corpses ashore!"

As the whole team was once again covered with shields and illusions, the Volcano Dragon also started swimming rapidly towards the shore.

However, they were still discovered by an insect swarm!

Looking at the opposing boss lineup that numbered in the dozens, Chun truly gasped!

What would happen if we collided head-on? What exactly was this event triggered by Olka testing?

At this moment, Old Wine and Nan no longer held back, flying through the air while throwing bottles wildly, causing the entire insect swarm airspace to explode into a smoky mess.

Then came various poisonous mists, blood mists, and fire rains forcefully clearing the way, but even so, there were still hundreds of insect swarms breaking through the firepower net to test our shield's strength. The first layer's Mana Shield quickly broke, but Medusa's second layer Earth Shield stood incredibly firm!

No wonder she just ate a Crystal Core; the effect is vastly different!

Great, as long as it doesn't deplete my Earth Lotus.

Finally, the Volcano Dragon broke onto the shore, also tossing the mound-like corpse of the Six-headed Serpent to the roadside.

Chun was extremely excited and nervous: "Now run along the main road!"

Volcano Dragon: "Understood, Master!"

Indeed, when faced with high-end scarce resources, the insect swarm wasn't interested in fighting to the death. The bosses among them, like giant leeches, started gnawing on the meat mountain.

The team's pressure sharply reduced, and those small insect swarms still in pursuit were directly cleared with a few shots, disappearing entirely.

Then they turned their attention to the swamp's activity, noticing a giant mountain rising from the water!

Everyone was shocked: "Eight-headed Serpent!!"

The Eight-headed Serpent clearly only had eyes for the corpses, eight massive roars sweeping through the forest—Chun felt the shields shaking violently, but it seemed like he heard "Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do" by his ears!

With these eight massive roars, the ordinary insect swarms exploded in mid-air on the spot, blood and flesh falling like rain.

Wine Angel spoke solemnly: "That's a sound explosion! If sand and water aren't packed into boxes, these glasswares can't withstand anything like these insects!"

Chun nodded repeatedly in shock: "What level of strength is the Eight-headed Serpent?"

Wine Angel sighed: "I don't know; do any of you?"

Aimee sighed: "No Great Demon Race has fought it yet. It's said that the Nine-headed Serpent can rival gods!"

Wine Angel shook his head: "That's a Hydra, very special, not all Nine-headed Serpents are that powerful."

While they were talking, a sudden gust burst from the forest depths, sounding like an airplane taking off with a buzzing vibration that resonated through the sky. A small, dark glowing object rose up, with the surrounding space violently distorting.

Everyone was stupefied: "What is that?"

At that moment, even the Shoe Angel was shocked awake: "Could it be?"

Wine Angel trembled as he spoke: "The legendary Chaos Beetle?"

Holy Shit? Upon hearing the word chaos, an ancient aura engulfed them — it must be strong, right?

Plague Angel urged anxiously: "Don't just stare, run as far as you can! If you can fly, get out of the vehicle—or better yet, help push!"

Chun instantly sensed the urgency akin to a doomsday battle: "I'll get down to push too!"

Kasha grabbed Chun and pulled him back into the carriage: "Lie down, don't look up at the sky!"

Uh... alright, I'm the weakest, so I won't look up!

Thus, the Volcano Dragon used all its strength to sprint wildly. Chun only felt the intense tremors from behind, with all sorts of visual and sound effects in full... until the sounds faded into the distance, and the convoy had crossed the forest's boundary.

At this point, the Volcano Dragon also collapsed from exhaustion; after all, running at full speed consumes several times the Physical Strength.

Chun asked: "Can... can I look now?"

Everyone panted heavily: "It's fine now; you can look, they're still fighting!"

As he observed the flickering dark light in the distance, Chun still asked: "What is the Chaos Beetle?"

Wine Angel solemnly explained: "In theory, Gods and Demons are immortal beings with an indestructible soul! But Gods and Demons originated from chaos, and only the Power of Chaos can kill Gods and Demons! Of course, the most ancient Power of Chaos no longer exists, and this Chaos Beetle can't be chaos in the absolute sense, but it still deals significant damage to the Divine-Demonic Attribute. Most of us here have divine characteristics or demonic nature, making it difficult to oppose the Chaos Beetle."

Kasha also added: "The guild leader's previous owner Dios died at the Earth Flame Tribe, and his Demon Soul did not return, presumably killed by the Power of Chaos."

Holy Shit, even though I knew the leader was fierce, I didn't think they were this fierce!

Chun exclaimed in disbelief: "So isn't the Power of Chaos practically invincible?"

Old Wine chuckled and shook his head: "It's not that powerful against mortals, only dealing true damage! So you can simply understand it as Godslaying Power, Demon Slaying Power."

Holy Shit, true damage that ignores armor and defense isn't nonsense?

Chun was incredulous: "Does this Decaying Forest produce such entities, implying something secretive?"

Everyone looked at each other, saying: "It's our first time knowing there's something like this here."

How about we keep it a secret?

Impossible, at least five mercenaries have backers, and soon the backers will know. Later this Decaying Forest is bound to be bustling.

Finally, the team's physical strength mostly recovered.

The Volcano Dragon asked: "Master, shall we set off?"

Chun gazed at the distant and gradually diminishing momentum, suddenly struck by an idea, whereby two super bosses are fierce fighting, and players can swoop in for benefits! At the very least, he wanted to know who won or lost!

As soon as the thought emerged, Chun's enthusiasm became uncontrollable; he must swoop in for benefits! He had the Earth Lotus for protection, the Shrinking Earth Technique, and the Invisibility Technique, and could even dive in the swamp, making the likelihood of approaching unnoticed very high!

Furthermore, the previous battle was earth-shattering, presumably ordinary bosses and minions were all wiped out, greatly enhancing safety.

Chun's determination was set: "I'm the only mortal present, and I want to go back and sweep the battlefield. If I die, I believe you all can still complete the mission. If I succeed, the guild's benefit would be immense!"

Everyone froze, staring at each other in shock!

It was still Plague Angel who spoke first: "Support the guild leader to give it a try. If the beetle is defeated and the Power of Chaos is devoured, don't be disappointed. The dead boss-level beetles that haven't been handled yet have Beetle Crystal Cores and other materials. Although not very useful, these can be handed to the guild to enhance its reputation!"

You're indeed considerate!

Wine Angel also spoke: "Here's the plan, we'll wait here first. If something happens to the guild leader, just say so in the guild channel. If it's too far to contact via channel, we'll wait for at most an hour before we finish the mission ourselves."

Holy Shit! The way you speak is exactly like a player!

Chun was invigorated: "Alright, let's do it that way."

Everyone said: "Then we wish the guild leader good luck!"

It felt a bit strange, do demons even wish for good luck?

Chun laughed: "Wishing our entire guild the best of luck!"
