A boss with only 5000 health... this really something to celebrate. This boss couldn"t even compare to the normal monsters! It was simply a G.o.dsend...
"Stormbringer! Kill it!" Sanguine Warflag immediately shouted without waiting for Fearless to speak.
"Don"t kill it..." Fearless knitted his brows and said.
Fearless had a strange feeling that something wasn"t right ever since they had encountered the ghost wall.
As a beta tester of the game, Fearless had previously challenged the Hurricane Cavern dungeon in the past. But during that time, they had only cleared the normal dungeon, hardly anyone ever attempted to fight the elite difficulty and above.
Even though challenging higher tiered dungeons would mean that there were more hidden bosses like this Fantasy Serpent. Fearless had never heard of a boss being stationed at such an odd position. And such a simple boss with only 5000 health at that...
But Fearless" instruction was a second too late. Sanguine Stormbringer had already fired his arrow towards the Fantasy Serpent.
The Fantasy Serpent"s form flickered slightly as it"s appearance changed to that of Sanguine Stormbringer. Strangely enough, once the arrow struck it, the real Sanguine Stormbringer turned into a ray of white light...
"What the f*ck!!! What a despicable boss!!!" Everyone shouted.
d.a.m.n it. It would imitate whoever attacked it and would cause them to receive the damage that they dealt to it as well.
Archer"s had very little health to begin with, thus there was no way that Sanguine Stormbringer would even survive an attack from himself given all the top tier equipments that he was wearing.
He had used the strongest skill that Sharpshooter"s had in an attempt to kill this boss in one hit.
The boss suddenly opened it"s mouth to speak after Sanguine Stormbringer"s death.
"Despicable intruders, even though you have slain my brethren I do not wish to fight you, for I am a pacifist. I will give you one opportunity. If you can answer my riddle, I will let you pa.s.s."
"Do you believe it"s words?" Sanguine Warflag asked Fearless.
After facing an elite boss previously, everyone knew that these bosses liked to toy with their preys, especially this one. One look at it"s skills and the previous exchange with Sanguine Stormbringer revealed it"s questionable character.
"What can we do if we don"t believe it"s words? Do you think we can bypa.s.s it?" Fearless replied.
"You mean Brother Bull can"t do anything either?" Sanguine Warflag asked w.a.n.g Yu.
"Nonsense! Didn"t you see what happened just now? Brother Bull will definitely die if he tried to fight it..."
"Che!" w.a.n.g Yu grunted in discontentment.
"What"s the riddle?" Fearless ignored w.a.n.g Yu"s unhappiness and asked/
"What create walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon..." The Fantasy Serpent started to ask.
"Man!"
"What"s with all these old fas.h.i.+oned western riddles? Why would you even bother asking such a s.h.i.+tty riddle?" Fearless interrupted before the Serpent even got the chance to finish it"s riddle.
"Oh well, to think that you would be so smart..." The Fantasy Serpent chuckled before it continued with another riddle: "If there is light, I lose my light. But if I am bestowed with light, I will help men walk."
"Torch. Can you ask a more challenging riddle?" Fearless yawned.
"..." The Fantasy Serpent remained silent before it suddenly burst into anger: " These are the f.u.c.king riddle"s that the game designers programmed me to ask! Do you think I have a choice?"
Who would have thought that this AI would actually scold it"s creator...
The next few riddles that the Fantasy Serpent asked were also easily solved by Fearless…...
These were all common riddles that everyone had heard of before...
But as the riddles progressed, the players started to feel a sense of danger emanating from the Fantasy Serpent.
Even if these people could not sense killing intent like w.a.n.g Yu, they could still vaguely feel that there were some changes about the Serpent"s disposition.
The originally half a metre long Fantasy Serpent had suddenly swelled to two metres long. It had been progressively getting larger with each riddle that Fearless solved.

"Fearless, stop solving it"s riddles, you"ve been tricked..." w.a.n.g Yu hurriedly pulled Fearless aside.
"Huh?"
Only after w.a.n.g Yu had pulled him away did Fearless suddenly notice that the Serpent had swelled in size.
"What the f*ck has this guy been eating?" Fearless gasped.
"It"s been feeding on your knowledge!" Sanguine Warflag mocked.
"F*cking h.e.l.l, how dare this b*tch trick me..." Fearless angrily cursed as his face flushed red with embarra.s.sment.
After all these years of gaming, Fearless had always been the one tricking and scamming others. Yet today, he had fallen for the trap of this seemingly innocent and curious boss. If word of this ever got out, he was sure that the other players from the Quan Zhen Sect would never let it go till the day he died.
