"Is this even possible?"
Yan Qiu stared at the massive Frost Bone Dragon suspended in midair. Just standing this far away, she could feel her body grow cold, and warning signals kept blaring inside her head.
The colossal bone wings flapped ever so slightly, and a shockwave of air erupted with a deafening boom.
Even a fool could tell that a High-grade Grand Lord was far more powerful than a regular Grand Lord — they weren't even in the same league.
Shi Feng understood this all too well.
The Frost Bone Dragon was the final boss guarding South Lake City, so of course it wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Fortunately, he had two trump cards up his sleeve. A fight wasn't out of the question.
And even if he died, it didn't matter — he'd simply be teleported out of the Abyss battlefield with no death penalty.
Shi Feng raised the dark gold whistle to his lips and blew. The sound echoed throughout South Lake City.
"Roar!"
With a thunderous roar, a golden magic circle materialized in front of Shi Feng, and from within it burst a giant tiger wreathed in black flames.
The tiger stood over four meters tall. Its claws burned with pitch-black fire, and its entire body was clad in sleek black battle armor. Just standing there, it sent the surrounding temperature skyrocketing — the ground beneath its paws melted from the searing heat, giving off a clear message: stay away.
"What is that?" The others stared at the flame tiger that had suddenly appeared, frozen in shock.
"A mount, of course," Shi Feng said, walking up to the great beast and stroking its smooth fur with clear satisfaction.
Demonic Flame Battle Tiger — a dark gold-grade mount, Level 40, with 1.02 million HP.
In his previous life, the best mount Shi Feng had ever obtained was only gold-grade.
But this time he had gotten lucky, killing Noia — the boss guarding the Dark Cavern map — and earning this dark gold-grade mount as a result.
Mounts were incredibly valuable for players fighting in the wild.
And once you reached dark gold grade, that value skyrocketed.
Even a bronze-grade mount already had some offensive capability and could assist players in combat.
But at dark gold grade, the mount itself was equivalent to a Leader-level monster. Sure, a Leader monster might not be much to a top-tier player, but the real power of a dark gold-grade mount wasn't its raw combat strength — that was mainly for showing off in front of ordinary players.
The true strength of a dark gold-grade mount lay in its auxiliary skill effects.
It was like having an extra player by your side who could cast support skills.
"Dark gold-grade skills really are something else." Shi Feng checked the Demonic Flame Battle Tiger's skill list and felt a small jolt of surprise.
A Level 40 gold-grade mount had only two auxiliary skills — one single-target and one AoE.
But a Level 40 dark gold-grade mount had three auxiliary skills: one single-target and two AoE.
