Provocation, barefaced provocation!

Song Jian narrowed his eyes, and a trace of coldness flashed through them.

It’s just a Level 10 Elite Boss. If this were in the wild, Song Jian would definitely avoid it from a distance; but now within his manor, even if there were several such bosses, he wouldn’t be afraid.

“Alex, retract your roots and branches…” Song Jian ordered.

The roots and branches that covered the wall slowly retracted. The clawed zombie, seeing this, thought Song Jian was afraid, becoming more excited and jumping around.

It raised its right claw to the sky, and fire elements quickly gathered, forming a huge fireball out of thin air.

Whoosh-

The fireball smashed violently against the manor’s fence with a loud rumble, depleting more than 30 points of defense. If this were a wooden wall, the fireball would pose a great threat, but with a Level 3 stone wall, the only damage caused was from the impact, while the threat of the flames was minimized.

“That’s all you’ve got?” Song Jian smirked with a mocking smile, gesturing a disdainful motion towards the clawed zombie.

Although the clawed zombie didn’t understand Song Jian’s gesture, it could still discern the expression on his face.

Roar-

The clawed zombie quickly gathered a ball of flame and threw it towards Song Jian.

The huge fireball drew an arc, trailing a long tail of fire, flying over the fence and hitting the third floor of the castle.

Before Song Jian could dodge, the sinister Bloodthirsty Demonic Tree waved a thick branch and violently struck the fireball. After a loud “boom,” the fireball dispersed into a sky full of flames and gradually disappeared.

The branch that struck the fireball only had a burnt patch on its surface and lost dozens of yellow-brown leaves, with no other changes. The Vitality of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Tree even dropped only by a few points, an insult to the attack of a Level 10 Elite Boss.

The clawed zombie roared angrily, its legs pedaling, and its body lunged towards the manor like a sharp arrow.

Even if its attributes were halved during the day, and it was using its full power, an ordinary person’s eyes would find it hard to capture its figure.

Thump thump thump-

After crushing the heads of over a dozen mutated zombies in a row, the clawed zombie rushed near the fence.

Swish swish-

Seven or eight wooden spikes from the Wooden Spike Trap shot out but only stabbed the afterimage of the clawed zombie.

“I’ll kill you!” The clawed zombie, standing atop the high fence, pointed at Song Jian on the third floor of the castle and roared in a vague voice.

Song Jian’s eyes flashed as he activated the skillful insight, locking onto the clawed zombie.

Whoosh whoosh-

Arrow Towers on both sides of the fence fired two hardwood arrows at the clawed zombie.

The clawed zombie had a mocking smile on its face. The hardwood arrows were fast in the eyes of ordinary zombies and hard to dodge, but to the clawed zombie, they were as slow as snails, easily avoided with a simple stretch.

Standing still on the fence, the clawed zombie only dodged when the arrow was near, twisting its head to avoid the trajectory of the arrows.

What it didn’t expect, however, was that after the hardwood arrows grazed past its ear, they strangely drew an arc and shot towards its hindbrain at a minimal angle.

Too close to dodge, the Clawed Zombie’s face changed drastically as it lunged forward and lay on the wall. Two hardwood arrows flew past its scalp;

“How could this happen…” a puzzled look flashed in the Clawed Zombie’s eyes;

Before it could react, the Arrow Tower shot another two hardwood arrows at it. The two arrows that it had dodged earlier looped back midair and headed for it;

The Clawed Zombie looked up and saw a grin on Song Jian’s face on the third floor of the castle. Its anger flared up instantly;

“It’s your doing!”

The Clawed Zombie lunged furiously at the third floor of the castle;

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-

More and more hardwood arrows flew towards the Clawed Zombie’s back. It was extremely difficult for it to dodge them midair. Feeling seven or eight arrows approaching from behind, the Clawed Zombie struggled to twist its body to avoid the attack;

However, except for two arrows that missed its ribs, the rest hit its heart;

Unable to control its body, the Clawed Zombie fell to the ground;

Whoosh, whoosh-

A dozen tree roots sprang out from the soil, piercing through the zombie’s body like spears. Its arms, thighs, abdomen, and chest were all impaled by the roots;

Thud-

The Clawed Zombie hit the ground hard, and more tree roots shot towards it, continuously entangling its body;

“All-” The Clawed Zombie struggled desperately, raising its right hand to gather fire elements again. However, as soon as it did so, five or six tree roots pierced through its palm;

Ka-ching-

The zombie managed to break free from a tree root’s entanglement but was caught by even more roots. The Clawed Zombie could feel the roots piercing its body, constantly sucking its internal energy and devouring every cell of its body;

After struggling for seven or eight minutes and at the cost of a dozen broken roots, the Bloody Vengeful Poison Tree, Alex, finally killed the Clawed Zombie and dragged it into the soil to serve as its nutrients;

A golden light flashed, and the Bloody Vengeful Poison Tree leveled up to become a Level 5 Elite Boss;

“A Level 10 Elite Boss was killed just like that; it’s simply unbelievable!” Song Jian showed no expression, but his heart was full of amazement;

The psychic lock-on from the Eyes of the Heart skill also brought Song Jian an unexpected surprise. Once an enemy was locked on, it was like having a target set and any aimed long-range attack would become a lock-on attack, making it impossible for the enemy to escape;

As time ticked by, a thick layer of monster corpses piled up outside the walls. If it weren’t for the Bloody Vengeful Poison Tree continuously dragging the dead monsters into the soil as nutrients, the pile of corpses would probably be taller than the walls by now;

A Level 5 Elite Boss no longer caught Song Jian’s attention. Instead, he focused on the Level 10 Elite Bosses that were attracted to the area;

Several tens of minutes later, Song Jian killed five more Level 10 Elite Bosses. They were all lured by the manor, including the Flayer Zombie Kulamar. Once locked on psychically, the Agile Boss was directly crushed by two rounds of Catapult attacks, not even leaving a complete corpse. It was certainly the most miserable Boss death there was;

The number of monsters gradually dwindled, and Song Jian’s level reached 9 at 86%. Such a level was a lofty existence for other players;

A faint white light slowly appeared, covering the entire manor. Song Jian could hardly wait to hear the system announce the creation of the safe house.

However, it was at this moment that a “thud, thud, thud” sound came from the distance. Looking up, on a wide street, a knight clad in full armor, holding a palm-wide longsword and straddling a warhorse equipped with horse armor, slowly approached the manor;
