Healing to Kill

```

[King of Firestone: LV15 (Silver Level BOSS)]

[Rock Spikes: Every time Health Points drop by 10%, it will hammer the ground, causing rocks within a 30-meter radius to rise and form numerous spikes, dealing 300% Strength damage to the target.]

[Lava Rain: Every time Health Points drop by 20%, it will scatter a large amount of lava, dealing 500 fire damage to the target and applying a burning effect, causing an additional 100 burning damage per second for 10 seconds.]

[Life Furnace: Each time it kills a target, it will absorb the target's life energy to strengthen itself.]

Jiang Chen dragged the King of Firestone towards the outskirts of the Ashen Land.

At the same time, he sent a voice message in the team channel: "Qing Ying, Xiaoyao, go to the place I just went and find a stone pit."

"Stone pit?"

Qing Ying was slightly puzzled, but she still replied in the team channel, "Okay, got it!"

Then, she and Tao Xiaoyao headed deeper into the Ashen Land.

Soon.

The two women arrived at the place where the King of Firestone had been sleeping.

There was a circular pit over ten meters long, with pools of lava flowing inside.

"Brother Mortal World, we found the stone pit!" Qing Ying said in the team channel.

"In the center of the pit, there's a Fire Crystal. Break it!"

After Jiang Chen spoke, Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao noticed the orange-red, semi-transparent stone in the middle of the pit.

[Fire Crystal: The core crystal of the King of Firestone. Destroying it will put the King of Firestone into a weakened state for half an hour!]

"I got it!"

Qing Ying's eyes lit up, instantly understanding that this was the mechanism to weaken the BOSS!

She immediately avoided the flowing lava on the ground, walked to the center of the pit, and slashed the Fire Crystal with a basic attack.

...

Ashen Land.

More and more people were arriving, and the vast outer area was already populated by over a thousand players.

A four-person team, arriving late, had to move further in to find an empty area for mob farming.

Just as they found a less crowded spot.

Boom!

Boom!

...

The ground shook with violent impacts.

The team looked up and was stunned by the sight before them.

A massive Flame Stone Beast, with lava flowing over its body, was walking towards them.

"It's a level 15 Silver Level BOSS!"

A Knight in the team turned pale.

"Someone's ahead, they lured the BOSS over here!"

A female Priest pointed to a small figure in front of the BOSS.

"Don't panic, look at the BOSS's head!"

The Mage team leader remained calm. Those who could reach the main city at this stage were all top-tier players with good gaming skills.

Hearing this, the other three teammates looked over.

Immediately, they noticed the word "Weakened" next to the BOSS's name.

"This BOSS is in a weakened state!" the female Priest exclaimed.

"That's right, weakened state!"

The Mage team leader nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"So... should we attack?"

The Knight and Archer stared intently at the BOSS, licking their lips.

"We can give it a try!"

The Mage team leader cast a Fireball spell at the BOSS.

-35.

The King of Firestone, taking damage, immediately ignored Jiang Chen and walked towards the Mage.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and withdrew from the BOSS.

"The Priest is leaving!"

The Knight in the team looked puzzled.

"Ignore him, he's probably a lone wolf player. Even if he encounters a weakened BOSS, he can't handle it alone."

The Mage team leader quickly said, "Everyone, attack the BOSS, watch your positioning, and try not to get hit!"

"Yes!"

The team charged at the BOSS.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had already moved away, observing from the side.

Their positioning was quite good, and the BOSS's basic attacks couldn't hit them.

However, their damage output was a bit low.

The King of Firestone had 300,000 Health Points, and they could only chip away at it slowly.

Fortunately, in its weakened state, the King of Firestone not only had reduced movement and attack speed but also a fatal flaw: it couldn't use its skills!

Even with low damage, as long as they had enough time, they could whittle the BOSS down.

This gave the team hope!

Twenty minutes later.

The BOSS's Health Points had dropped by 15%!

"Is this place too deep? Why haven't other players come yet?"

Jiang Chen murmured softly.

He stretched and prepared to head to the outskirts to inform other players about the BOSS.

Just as he took a few steps.

He saw several players approaching from a distance.

"They're here!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and stopped.

Soon, these players also noticed the BOSS.

Jiang Chen knew that once other players saw the weakened BOSS, the news would spread quickly.

As expected.

Within a minute or two, more players arrived.

Soon, there were already twenty to thirty people around the BOSS.

At this time.

Players farming small mobs elsewhere also learned that there was a weakened Silver Level BOSS deep in the Ashen Land.

In the outer area of the Ashen Land.

The Heavenly Guild had occupied a relatively large territory, farming Flame Stone Beasts.

"Guild Master, I heard there's a BOSS ahead, and many people are heading there. Should we go?"

The white-haired Mage, All Laws Return to One, asked Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama beside him.

Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama killed a nearly dead Flame Stone Beast, picked up the dropped [Heart of Firestone], and asked, "What level is the BOSS?"

"Level 15 Silver Level BOSS!"

"Hah! A level 15 Silver Level BOSS? Who can beat it now? Going there is just asking for death!"

Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama killed another nearly dead small mob and quickly picked up the loot.

"This BOSS is in a weakened state, its skills are restricted, and its Health Points have already dropped by a third," All Laws Return to One quickly said.

"What?"

Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama was stunned and angrily scolded, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Uh..."

All Laws Return to One explained with a bitter face, "Guild Master, I just found out."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry and take people over there!"

"Yes!"

...

This scene was happening among various guilds in the Ashen Land.

"Everyone, follow me to kill the BOSS!"

On the side of the King Guild, Domineering Madman, who had received the news, also led his team towards the depths of the Ashen Land.

...

"A weakened BOSS? Luck is really on our side!"

On the other side, Qi Sha, the vice president of Immortal Legend, also had a look of surprise.

They had come to Giant Deer City because the Heavenly Guild was targeting the first kill team, hoping to profit from the situation.

Unexpectedly, they first encountered a limited-time quest, and now a weakened Silver Level BOSS.

This trip was like hitting the jackpot!

Almost all the guilds that came to Giant Deer City felt incredibly lucky!
