Chapter 13: Maze of Caves, Giant Gorilla with Obsidian Fur

Just as Li Jun was about to continue slaying monsters, he suddenly encountered two people.

"Oh no, didn't we just pass by this place?"

"Damn. It seems we have lost our way."

"Why don't we hurry up and teleport now? We can't find our way out anyway."

"**Sigh**, this is the only way..."

The two realized they had lost their way and helplessly took out a return scroll.

Then, the two were teleported away at the same time.

At that moment, Li Jun realized that he couldn't find his way out either, and the problem was that he didn't have a teleportation pass.

If he really lost his way here, he would be in danger.

For now, Li Jun could only hope in the Eye of Truth.

Since his Eye of Truth could see where the dangers and opportunities were, it should be able to find the way out, right?

With this thought in mind, Li Jun activated the Eye of Truth and looked around.

When he looked at one of the cave holes, a notice hovered before the hole, "Inside."

When he looked at another cave hole, he received a notice, "Outside."

Li Jun quickly understood the meaning behind the notices. Walking towards "Inside" would allow him to reach the center of the cave.

If he walked towards the "Outside" notice, he would be able to reach the outside of the cave.

Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, his Eye of Truth was able to see the path he needed to take.

Otherwise, without the scroll, it would be a dead end for him.

If Li Jun was lucky, he might meet a kind-hearted person who would sell him a teleportation scroll.

However, he should not place his hopes on others in the first place.

At that moment, two other people walked into the cave where Li Jun was.

Both were girls. They looked at Li Jun's cave hole and frowned.

"It's over. We can't find the exit," one of them said.

"It seems we can only teleport like the others."

The two girls nodded their heads and took out teleportation scrolls.

Then one of them noticed Li Jun.

"Are you lost too?" she asked.

"No. I can find an exit," Li Jun replied indifferently.

The girls looked at each other and smiled.

"You are lying to us, aren't you? The path here is disorganized. How can you find an exit? If you want to leave, I have an extra teleportation scroll here. I can sell it to you."

Li Jun shook his head slightly, "No need. Keep the scrolls for yourself. My goal is to kill the boss."

The two girls pursed their lips, assuming that Li Jun was boasting.

They didn't say anything else, opened the scroll, and left.

After everyone had left, Li Jun continued forward.

He chose the entrance marked "Inside" and went there. This way, he could reach the center of the cave.

Li Jun believed that the legendary boss would be in the center of the cave!

He continued forward, mercilessly killing every rock serpent monster he encountered.

Gradually, Li Jun's mission goal was nearing completion. Moreover, the number of rock serpent monsters around him was also decreasing.

Li Jun knew he was about to reach the boss's lair, which is why there were fewer monsters around him.

Since then, Li Jun was more cautious in moving forward.

When Li Jun passed through another tunnel and entered the next cave, he smelled blood.

This fresh scent of blood made Li Jun frown. It seemed he was almost there!

He lowered the brightness of his flashlight and crouched down, moving quietly forward.

Finally, he reached the last tunnel. Through this, he could reach the center of the cave.

Li Jun passed through the tunnel. Through the dim light, he could vaguely see the situation in the cave ahead.

There was a massive beast resting on the ground, as if in a deep slumber, from which a strong scent of blood emanated.

Li Jun turned up the brightness of his flashlight to its maximum and observed the beast intently.

It didn't take long for Li Jun to discover that the reclining creature was none other than a giant gorilla.

It was covered in obsidian-black fur, and its swollen muscles indicated immense strength.

Its chest rose and fell heavily, and it emitted deep, audible breaths.

Li Jun used his "Eye of Truth" to get information about the beast, and the data of the giant gorilla with obsidian fur appeared.

[**Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla**]

[ Attack: 85 ]

[ Speed: 55 ]

[ Health: 220 ]

[ Mana: 40 ]

[ Defense: 120 ]

[ Current Condition: Postpartum ]

[ Status Effect: Health decreased by 20%, Speed decreased by 25%, Attack increased by 15% ]

Upon reading the status effect, Li Jun realized that the gorilla was in a weakened state because it had just given birth.

The reduction in speed by 25% was a significant issue for it.

Its speed wasn't high to begin with, and with this reduction, it became even more vulnerable to attack.

Despite that, the defense power of the giant gorilla was incredibly high.

With a defense of 120 points, Li Jun might need to bypass this armor at least twice to be able to deliver an effective blow.

Speed was his only advantage. Utilizing this advantage to bypass the defense twice would not be a difficult task.

Of course, if he really wanted to inflict more damage, he would need to bypass the defense three times.

Li Jun took a deep breath. If he were attacked by the gorilla, he would surely receive significant damage.

It seemed that if he wanted to defeat this giant gorilla, he would have to be cautious.

At that moment, Li Jun was not thinking of retreating. He had to overcome this boss!

After all, one of the evolution materials he needed was derived from this boss!

Li Jun stood firmly in front of the giant gorilla with obsidian fur, taking advantage of the time when the gorilla was still in its slumber to bypass its defense for the first time!

After gathering his strength, Li Jun suddenly swung his palm!

The sharp wind blades penetrated the body of the giant gorilla with obsidian fur. They couldn't even scratch its skin, just cut through a layer of the obsidian fur!

Despite that, the giant gorilla felt the pain and woke up immediately, releasing a high howl.

"Roar!!"

A thunderous roar came from the giant gorilla as it was in pain. It quickly stood up and glared at Li Jun.

It was about three meters tall, and its body was full of muscles.

The giant gorilla with bloodshot eyes looked angrily at Li Jun, then swung its heavy fist towards him.

Li Jun was secretly pleased when he saw the gorilla's fist heading towards him. The gorilla's speed had already significantly decreased!

Even if he delayed for a fraction of a second before dodging, he could easily escape it.

After retreating a few steps, Li Jun easily avoided the attack of the giant gorilla with obsidian fur.

The giant gorilla was furious. It dropped to all fours and charged at Li Jun!

Li Jun did not boast this time and quickly dodged the attack.

A collision with the enraged giant gorilla could have been fatal.

After avoiding its attack, the giant gorilla hit the wall and was dazed.

Li Jun took advantage of this opportunity and rushed forward, delivering another blow with his palm!

The second time he unleashed the Cutting Wind Blade skill, he cut a large swath of fur!

This time, it left deep marks on its thick skin.

The giant gorilla felt intense pain and quickly turned around, charging at Li Jun again!

Li Jun swiftly jumped up, using a double jump to increase the distance between them.

The giant gorilla turned and charged again, slamming into the wall.

With a loud boom, the entire cave shook.

At that moment, Li Jun fell from the sky, unleashing the Cutting Wind Blade again!

The third time the Cutting Wind Blade struck, it cut a large piece of flesh from the giant gorilla with obsidian fur!
