Overlord Blade led over a dozen subordinates, charging forward without a word and launching a direct attack on the Predator·Taotie.
The archers fired Frost Arrows, and the mages cast Ice Spikes, all aiming to control Taotie.
However, their attacks couldn't hit the high-speed moving Taotie, as every strike was evaded effortlessly.
In the blink of an eye, Taotie had already charged forward.
SLASH!
Its sharp claws, like blades, shattered the shield of a knight at the forefront, piercing through his body.
WHOOSH!
White light flashed, and the knight was instantly killed on the spot.
"SPREAD OUT!"
With Overlord Blade's shout, everyone scattered. While attacking Taotie to attract its attention, they simultaneously retreated in different directions.
Facing the provocation of a group of humans, the bloodthirsty Taotie lost its mind, furiously chasing after Overlord Blade's subordinates.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue, hiding behind an earthen wall, watched as Taotie hunted down Overlord Blade and his team. He understood: they were sacrificing their lives to buy him time.
With every tragic scream, white lights flickered in the distance, one after another.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue's eyes filled with intense killing intent and hatred.
"Don't worry, I won't let your deaths be in vain."
He muttered to himself.
Taking advantage of Overlord Blade's group distracting Taotie, Zhang Yue resumed hunting Slimes.
Afraid of making too much noise and attracting Taotie, Zhang Yue did not summon the Apocalypse Black Dragon.
Instead, he relied on his own strength to single-handedly kill the Slimes.
However, with just a dozen people, Overlord Blade's group couldn't hold off Taotie for long.
Before long, the commotion in the distance quieted down.
Zhang Yue knew: Overlord Blade and his group were all dead.
After finishing off Overlord Blade's team, Taotie noticed the movements from Zhang Yue hunting Slimes and immediately gave chase.
Seeing that the mission progress had reached 99.7%, Zhang Yue had no other choice.
He summoned the Apocalypse Black Dragon and the Skeleton King, intending for them to continue killing Slimes while he drew Taotie away.
Just as Taotie charged from a distance, an unexpected disturbance arose from all directions.
Looking around, Zhang Yue saw a large number of players charging from the surrounding areas.
These were all level-45 veteran players who had been active in the Seventh World for years, here to collect Slime Medals.
What surprised Zhang Yue was: these players seemed to recognize him, pointing in his direction and shouting:
"That's Zero!"
"Everyone! Get to work. Protect Zero! Don't let the Predator get near him."
"Brothers, CHARGE!"
With a loud cry, the group of players, as if following some kind of call, stormed into the Slime Village. Without hesitation, they attacked Taotie.
Faced with the players attacking from all sides, Predator·Taotie let out a long howl to the sky. Its blood-red eyes glowed, and an overwhelming killing intent erupted from its body.
The next moment, its body moved like lightning, diving into the crowd.
SHWISH! SHWISH! SHWISH!
Wherever Taotie passed, white lights flickered continuously, and screams of agony echoed endlessly!
Based on Taotie's skill, awareness, and damage output, Zhang Yue had already determined: it was a level-50 god-tier boss.
Because of this, even these level-45 veteran players with high skill levels and excellent equipment couldn't withstand Taotie's attacks.
Anyone touched by Taotie was instantly killed, with no chance to resist.
Meanwhile, their counterattacks barely dealt a few hundred points of damage to Taotie, which was negligible.
Yet, what puzzled Zhang Yue was: knowing that this was an unbeatable foe and that rushing in was a death sentence, these players showed no hesitation.
Everyone charged at Taotie like madmen, with a determination to die if needed.
Zhang Yue didn't know any of these people.
Why were they risking their lives to protect him?
Of course, in this situation, Zhang Yue had no time to ponder.
Taking advantage of their efforts to hold off and distract Taotie, Zhang Yue quickly worked with the Apocalypse Black Dragon to accelerate the slaughter of the remaining Slimes in the village.
At the same time, elsewhere, members of the Glory Guild also arrived at the Slime Village.
To witness Zhang Yue's death at the hands of the Predator·Taotie, Ling Ke'er personally came to the scene.
Seeing countless rogue players in the Slime Village desperately resisting the Predator, Glory Peerless frowned and asked, "What are these lunatics doing? Have they lost their minds?"
Ling Ke'er, however, was indifferent, even proud. "See that? The Predator's strength is invincible."
"No one in the Seventh World can defeat the Predator. No matter how many people there are, it's just moths to a flame."
"Zhang Yue, let's see how you plan to fight the Predator this time."
The rogue players managed to hold out for several minutes.
Zhang Yue couldn't fathom how many of them had died. However, their valiant resistance bought him precious time.
In those few minutes, Zhang Yue finally killed every last Slime in the village.
When the mission progress bar reached 100%, the mission status changed from the red "In Progress" to the green "Completed." Zhang Yue sighed in relief.
Since the bounty mission came from a secret realm scroll and didn't require an NPC, the mission could be submitted directly upon completion.
Zhang Yue immediately submitted the mission through the task list.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the King-tier Bounty Mission [Slime Slayer]. Rewards: Experience +5,000,000, Gold +200, Alien Energy +20 billion (10,000x multiplier), Rare Pet Eggs x3, and [Level-45 6-Star Equipment Boxes] x3]
WHOOSH!
A warm golden light enveloped Zhang Yue. With the generous 5 million experience reward, he leveled up twice, reaching level 45 from level 43 as desired.
Looking at the Predator·Taotie still rampaging among the rogue players who helped him, Zhang Yue's eyes gleamed with endless killing intent.
Opening his inventory, he took out the level-45 7-star gold Void Set he had prepared long ago, replacing his level-35 5-star Reaper Set in one click.
A silver robe replaced the black one.
At that moment, Zhang Yue felt as though he had transcended, his whole being elevated.
Waves of silver light flowed around him, forming a powerful magical field.
The set bonuses of the 7-star Void Set were visibly far superior to the 5-star Reaper Set:

Zhang Yue casually opened his status screen to check his current attributes.

Overall, Zhang Yue's stats had improved by about 70% compared to before.
For a level-45 player, Zhang Yue's strength was undeniably excessive.
Gripping the Void Staff in his hand, Zhang Yue locked his sights on the god-tier boss: Predator·Taotie.
Just then, Su Jingyan suddenly sent him a message…
