"..."

The surviving players retreated to the Dung Beetle's side.

The Dung Beetle also looked toward the Tree Demon Race Boss leaping toward them from afar.

The Mahayana Realm Leader of the Tree Demon Race was at the front, followed by three Integration Realm Tree Demons!

So, it was a main Boss with three lesser ones.

The Dung Beetle, seeing the Tree Demons approach, hesitated no longer. Glancing at his remaining 30,000 Contribution Points, he unhesitatingly invested them in Armament Haki.

The Eight Gates Escape Armor required too high a Constitution. Having missed the initial opportunities to upgrade his physique through Martial Arts, it was now almost impossible to improve it further.

So, Armament Haki was the only viable option.

Contribution Points weren't just for resurrection; they could also enhance a player's Cultivation Techniques.

With 30,000 Contribution Points spent, his Armament Haki instantly leveled up to the Ninth Floor!

It seemed like it could be improved further, but that would require even more Contribution Points.

Still, he now felt somewhat confident about facing the Tree Demon Race Boss.

"Human Race, you have quite the nerve to attack our Tree Demon Race clansmen!"

The Tree Demon Race Leader was covered in vines, its entire body resembling a lush, vine-draped Big Tree. Yet, the aura it emitted instilled fear in many players.

"How annoying! Believe it or not, I'll chop you down for firewood!" the Dung Beetle scoffed.

At the same time, he turned and whispered to Steady as an Old Dog, "I'll engage these three bosses. You take the opportunity to clean up the other Tree Demons, and remember to observe their Demon Race Skills. After you're done, bring everyone over to help."

"Don't worry, Boss, leave it to me!" Steady as an Old Dog replied, nodding immediately.

Just observe their Demon Race Skills? Piece of cake.

After saying that, the Dung Beetle turned back to face the Tree Demon Race Leader.

The real pressure came from this Tree Demon Race Leader. If he couldn't defeat it, the players would surely suffer.

"Armament Haki, Ninth Floor, activate!"

The next moment, a dark cyan hue began to surface on the Dung Beetle's body, encasing him as if in black steel.

Ordinary Armament Haki could only envelop players.

But the Armament Haki the Dung Beetle unleashed now wrapped his entire being.

That's right! His entire body was enveloped.

The Single Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes began to rotate slowly, his entire being filled with a surging fighting spirit.

"Come on! If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'll log off for good!"

The Dung Beetle beckoned to the Tree Demon Race Leader.

SWISH!

A root, as thick as an arm, suddenly shot up from the ground beside the Dung Beetle. It transformed into a whip and lashed fiercely at him.

CRACK!

With that single strike, the Dung Beetle screamed as he was sent flying like a cannonball into the distance.

Huh???

The players from Wood Leaf Village witnessed this, dumbfounded.

"What's happening?"

"Is our Village Chief getting thrashed?"

"Damn it, this Boss is terrifying! Aren't the Game Designers going to nerf it?"

"It's over! Our Boss got thrashed. Do we still engage?"

"Engage? Are you kidding? The Boss is second on the Combat Power List. If even he got thrashed, how are we supposed to fight?"

"Let's split, guys! I'm off to train. After I power up, I'll come back and get revenge!"

"The wheel of fortune turns; don't underestimate someone just because they're down on their luck now!"

"..."

Immediately, the players turned and ran.

Even a First Test Player had been sent flying; how could they, Fourth Test Players, possibly face such a Boss?

It was better to retreat sooner rather than later.

"Kill all these members of the Human Race! Avenge our clansmen!"

The Tree Demon Race Leader snorted coldly, ordering the three Mahayana Realm Tree Demons behind him to take action.

The tide turned instantly. These lesser Tree Demon Race bosses began to massacre the players from Wood Leaf Village.

The Fourth Test Players dropped like flies, some cursing in frustration as they died.

As for the Dung Beetle...

After being sent flying, he smashed through several trees before slamming hard into the ground, creating a large crater.

Terrifying!

Is this still a Boss?

Why did it seem so easy for Old Mo to fight Bosses, yet I, number two on the power rankings, am suffering so much?

This has to be fake, right?

Damn Game Designer! Are you deliberately beefing up the Bosses just because you can't directly nerf our power levels?

Just then, Steady as an Old Dog sent a message to the Dung Beetle. He reported that all the players from Wood Leaf Village had been killed, including the entire Ao Xiang Squad.

That's right, instantly killed!

The usually formidable Ao Xiang Squad was killed in an instant.

Damn it, this Boss is impossible to deal with!

The Dung Beetle, seeing the incoming message from Steady as an Old Dog, quickly replied.

Dung Beetle: "Get your team to resurrect immediately and come help! We won't fight them head-on. We'll use guerrilla tactics!"

Steady as an Old Dog: "It's no good, Boss. It looks like we've all run into trouble. Other player groups encountered Demon Race Bosses and have been nearly wiped out."

Dung Beetle: "What are you saying? They're all dead? Even Old Mo is dead?"

Steady as an Old Dog: "I saw him fall. And everyone from Lingxiao Hall has used Cyclic Resurrection as well."

Dung Beetle: "Fuck! What about the Construction Team?"

Steady as an Old Dog: "Daytime Alms is outside cursing the Game Designer right now. Their Road Roller was torn apart by the Demon Race..."
