The Skeletal Mages' frail physique made them easy targets for the Earth Evil Centipede's Swipe skill, which easily slew quite a few of them. The Skeletal Mages swiftly scattered and spread out to avoid giving the Earth Evil Centipede the opportunity to kill them en masse.
Under the curse's influence, the Earth Evil Centipede's speed was significantly reduced, making it time-consuming for it to catch even a single Skeletal Mage.
Meanwhile, the Skeletal Warriors rushed over and climbed onto its back, and then hacked away with their blades. Though the damage wasn't large, but many a little makes a mickle.
The battle devolved into a war of attrition, with one side in pursuit and the other in retreat.
Lin Moyu unleashed Soul Blaze continuously, causing the Earth Evil Centipede to howl in agony each time.
Soul damage was excruciatingly painful. Whether human, monster, or Demon, none could endure it.
The poisonous fog still persisted. But in the presence of the Lich Generals' Legion Heal skill, it was rendered ineffective.
The Earth Evil Centipede suddenly turned and raised its colossal body, over 100 meters in length, looking like a towering mountain. It targeted a Lich General and lunged, its front legs glowing.
Skill: Slice and Dice!
With a loud bang, the Lich General was sent flying, seriously injured by the attack.Subsequently, healing light coming from the remaining nine Lich Generals fell on its body, restoring it to health almost in an instant.
The Earth Evil Centipede's skill was unable to kill the Lich Generals in one strike. In turn, as long as the Lich Generals weren't killed in one strike, they could be saved.
For every skeleton that died, Lin Moyu would release another one, making it seem like he had an endless supply of them.
The Earth Evil Centipede kept using its skill to kill one Skeletal Warrior after another, as well as relentlessly pursued the Skeletal Mages, dashing back and forth, but its efficiency kept declining.
Lin Moyu had already adapted to its attack pattern. When the Earth Evil Centipede was about to catch up to the Skeletal Mages, he would have the Lich Generals retrieve them, foiling its attempt.
After several such instances, the Earth Evil Centipede gave up on pursuing the Skeletal Mages and instead turned its attention to the Skeletal Warriors.
At this point, Lin Moyu retrieved the Skeletal Warriors, leaving only those on the Earth Evil Centipede's back.
Although the Skeletal Warriors on the ground were numerous, but with the Earth Evil Centipede's swift movement, very few could effectively attack it. It was more practical to keep only those who could inflict damage.
In fact, when the poisonous fog failed to have its intended effect, the Earth Evil Centipede's fate was sealed. However, due to its formidable physique and defense, it would take time to take it down.
Standing at the center of the battlefield, Lin Moyu repeatedly used Soul Blaze. With no skeletons left to attack, the Earth Evil Centipede directed its attention back to him, enraged by his persistent attacks.
The Earth Evil Centipede, with its limited intelligence, targeted Lin Moyu once again, launching a fierce offensive against him.
Unbeknownst to it, the Skeletal Warriors that had been withdrawn before were released bit by bit. These Skeletal Warriors nimbly leaped onto its back.
Compared to the massive Earth Evil Centipede, the Skeletal Warriors' size was negligible. It didn't notice them on its back. Before long, its back was once again covered with Skeletal Warriors.
The second round of assault ensued, mirroring the one from just minutes earlier. The Slow Curse was swiftly replaced with the Damage Curse.
Skill: Bone Fangs!
Skill: Berserk Strike!
Lin Moyu and the Skeletal Warriors simultaneously unleashed their skill. This time, Lin Moyu's Bone Fangs skill burst forth more violently, at least three times per second.
Under the Damage Curse, the Earth Evil Centipede's defenses were once again breached. The Skeletal Warriors' skill, the Skeletal Mages' concentrated fire, and Lin Moyu's Bone Fangs collectively inflicted massive damage.
Lin Moyu's Bone Fangs were particularly effective, seeing as they were released 10 times within 3 seconds.
The Earth Evil Centipede's flesh was ripped open, and green blood splashed about, corroding the ground.
The creature ran wildly, slicing and sweeping around and spewing out more poisonous fog. But in Lin Moyu's eyes, these were merely its death-struggle.
At this point, it was greatly weakened, its attacks not as powerful as before. Its Slicing and Dicing once even failed to kill a Skeletal Warrior in one hit. As its strength continued to wane, its cries grew fainter.
A few minutes later, the Earth Evil Centipede was pushed to the brink of death. Suddenly, it began frantically digging into the ground.
Shrouded by the poisonous fog, a large patch of the ground was corroded, turning as soft as tofu. In the blink of an eye, Earth Evil Centipede's head had already burrowed into the ground.
Lin Moyu quickly realized that it was trying to escape, "In your dreams!"
With a thought from Lin Moyu, Skeletal Warriors grabbed it and pulled. At the same time, the Damage Curse was switched to Slow Curse to stall for time.
Thousands of skeletons clung to the Earth Evil Centipede's legs, dragging it out from the ground.
"Why do high-level bosses always try to run?" Lin Moyu muttered to himself.
The Earth Evil Centipede showed the same behavior as the Soul Devour Insect King.
Lin Moyu preferred dungeon bosses who fought to the death, saving him time and effort while giving the opponent a quick death.
If the Earth Evil Centipede burrowed into the ground, catching it again would be incredibly difficult. The battle had already dragged on for nearly 20 minutes, and Lin Moyu was determined not to let it escape.
The Earth Evil Centipede thrashed, but its strength had already waned.
2,000 Skeletal Warriors, half gripping its legs and the other half on its back, continued their relentless assault.
Lin Moyu approached and pointed at the Earth Evil Centipede's head.
"Die!" He whispered and changed the curse.
Next, the final round of attacks erupted: Bone Fangs, Berserk Strike, and concentrated magic firepower.

Despite the hardships, seeing these rewards made it all worth it.
Not counting the three platinum rank equipment, the Poison Gem was truly priceless, permanently reducing poison elemental damage by 50%. Coupled with his passive Elemental Resistance skill, it could yield an 8-fold reduction in poison elemental damage.
If he were fortunate enough to acquire a poison elemental skill... he would really hit the jackpot.
The Poison Crystal, a dark green gem that looked like it had a liquid flowing inside, possessed a beauty that could stir one's heart.
Lin Moyu never expected to find an Elemental Crystal here. He realized that Elemental Crystals could be obtained not only through dungeons but also from world bosses.
"Teacher must not have killed the Earth Evil Centipede before, or else he would have told me about it."
Bai Yiyuan never mentioned the Earth Evil Centipede to Lin Moyu, otherwise he would have surely warned him.
The Immemorial Battlefield was vast and teeming with world rank bosses. Even after many years of adventuring there, one might not encounter every single boss.
With the Earth Evil Centipede's death, the poisonous fog gradually dissipated.
Ling Yizhan and the others saw the unscathed Lin Moyu standing in front of the enormous body of the Earth Evil Centipede, his head lowered.
At this moment, Lin Moyu gave off a different feeling, as if he were a towering giant overlooking the heavens and the earth.
"He really did it."
"Incredible. Soloing the Earth Evil Centipede, probably no one else can pull that off."
"Anyway, I've never seen it done before."
The isolated space gradually dissipated, and the strange and eerie light of the Immemorial Battlefield returned and underwent a change.
Then, Lin Moyu saw the change in the sky, as well as the Succubus Alice hovering in the air.
Panic-stricken and in disbelief, Alice let out a scream and fled in fear, not daring to look back.
"So it was her doing!"
Lin Moyu understood how he had ended up here and came across the Earth Evil Centipede. It was all orchestrated by her.
