In the dungeon forest, the three players who had confirmed their battle plan, led by Wang Zhifan, cautiously began to head deeper inside, searching for the boss of this dungeon.

However, it wasn't long before an unexpected situation appeared before their eyes.

"Boss, there are too many gorillas, we must modify our plan."

At this moment, peeking out from behind a barrier formed by the trunks of two adjacent large trees, the three players saw a group of about ten gorillas in the forest approximately twenty meters ahead!

They varied in size, male and female, some leisurely munching on unknown fruits, others frolicking with each other, and some were lying on tree trunks napping.

But the most striking among them was undoubtedly a particularly huge and robust silverback gorilla, nearly three meters in length and weighing over a thousand pounds!

This fellow was sitting on the ground like a human, leisurely watching its kin around it, like a statue of a gorilla version of a bodybuilding world champion.

"Indeed, we need to revise it. I didn't expect the dungeon boss wouldn't be a solitary entity... Rashly attacking could end badly."

Wang Zhifan agreed with the teammate's suggestion. Originally, their plan was set for a single target, but it turned out the dungeon boss came with several lackeys!

Despite the normal gorillas looking far less intimidating than the silverback, their numbers were around ten, and they weren't weaker than ordinary humans. If the three players directly attacked their leader, and these ten gorillas rushed over alongside a boss-level silverback, then it would be hard to say who would hunt whom.

"We can't rush. First, find a way to eliminate the small monsters around the boss, then focus on the boss."

Wang Zhifan then proposed his strategy, which was the usual stable plan: take down the smaller threats that add risk before tackling the main bigger target.

"I can confidently shoot these normal gorillas, but it might provoke a group reaction."

The bespectacled gunner in a black leather jacket expressed he could handle the little monsters but acknowledged a risk of the situation spiraling out of control.

"We can lure them one by one. There's a kind of fruit on the tree there, which seems to be what they're eating, and it can be used as bait."

The young mage in a checkered shirt timely offered his opinion, noticing something nearby that could be used as bait.

"Let's try that, but let's first attempt to lure the boss away alone, it would save us a lot of trouble if successful."

Wang Zhifan thought separating the boss from the small fry entirely was also a viable option, and this method would be more straightforward.

"Lure the boss directly? What if it notices us?"

The black leather-jacketed gunner teammate immediately questioned Wang Zhifan's new proposal, pointing out the high risk since throwing something to entice a peripheral normal gorilla was one thing, but catching the boss's attention could spell trouble.

"There is some risk, but it won't be too much. I'll take charge of the execution, and you all be ready to support from a safer distance."

Though naturally cautious, Wang Zhifan usually preferred to avoid potential risks, but that didn't mean he shied away from challenges or conflicts.

Sometimes, under certain conditions, moderately taking risks was the more efficient choice. As for now, he determined he could escape the monster chase or directly overpower them, so executing the lure-the-boss task himself was more appropriate.

"Boss is certainly the boss, we'll follow your lead!"

Seeing Wang Zhifan willing to take on risk and responsibility, the bespectacled gunner and checkered-shirt mage guys felt relieved and cooperated with him more enthusiastically.

And Wang Zhifan didn't hesitate, quickly coordinating the details with his two teammates, instructing them to hide in a far-off bush, ready to provide remote support, while he himself picked some of the fruit those gorillas were eating, then sneaked back to their territory to begin his maneuver.

He first used the Wolf-Slaying Blade to lightly slash the ground three times, stacking both the Berserk Buff and Fury Buff to three layers, then with his boosted 24 points of strength and 17 points of agility, he started throwing the fruits from a considerable distance toward the silverback gorilla sitting on the ground.

Thanks to his powerful attributes, Wang Zhifan's strength and physical control far surpassed ordinary people. Although his first thrown fruit slightly missed, the second one accurately landed on the silverback's back.

Even though the silverback gorilla was bulky and robust, its reactions weren't slow. When it felt something hit and hurt a bit, it immediately stood up on all fours, swiftly turning toward the attack's direction, searching for the culprit's trace.

And Wang Zhifan was waiting for just this reaction. At this moment, with his body still well-hidden, assisted by the cover of tree branches, he flung the third fruit over a decent distance toward the silverback gorilla, precisely hitting its body again.

Consequently, the silverback gorilla immediately caught sight of the attack source. It stood upright, relying only on its thick hind legs, and began to pound its broad furry chest with equally robust forelimbs, while its large fanged mouth roared thunderously toward Wang Zhifan's direction.

"Still not coming over? Let's give you another one as a gift."

Seeing the silverback gorilla still posing instead of charging over at this point, Wang Zhifan didn't hold back, hurling another fruit from afar at the posturing silverback, hitting its chest directly.

This time, after being repeatedly taunted, the silverback gorilla was thoroughly enraged. Even though it hadn't yet seen its enemy, it didn't matter anymore. It only wanted to smash into pulp whatever was mocking it in front!

The massive creature propelled itself with a kick of its hinder legs, its body leaping forward seven or eight meters like a giant muscle statue. It then began a straight sprint toward Wang Zhifan's direction, disregarding any branches or trunks in its way, all snapped by its arms thicker than people in one sweep! Like an unstoppable tank charging through the battlefield!

"This guy's really fast... but its normal gorilla companions haven't caught up, plans are going smoothly."

Wang Zhifan didn't rush to escape but first confirmed whether the ten or so normal gorillas behind the silverback followed their leader.

He saw that the situation was favorable, with most other gorillas still in their previous states, only a few turning their heads to observe their leader, but none immediately joined the commotion.
