Chapter 93 Where is such a big boss?
Chapter 93 Where is such a big boss?
Half an hour later, the surrounding trees gradually thinned out and the terrain became flatter, and they had returned to their usual leveling area of around level 10.
Here, groups of two or three players began to appear, fighting monsters. Warriors were at the front, mages and archers were dealing damage from behind, and priests were busy healing. The battle was back and forth, and it was quite lively.
A level 10 assassin player with the ID "Zhao San'an" is cautiously stealthily trying to sneak up behind a lone "Petrified Lizard" and backstab it.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of several giant wolves in the distance, their bodies a deep blue and wreathed in black flames.
Its imposing appearance, its dazzling lighting effects, and its commanding presence!
"An elite monster! And a species I've never seen before! It might be a boss!" Zhao San'an's heart started pounding uncontrollably, as if he could see top-tier equipment and tons of experience beckoning to him.
He held his breath, activated his speed boost, and silently crept up behind one of the ghost wolves. The poisoned dagger in his hand gleamed coldly as he unleashed his highest-damage skill—[Backstab]—with all his might!
"Explode it for me!" he shouted in his heart.
Clang!
The dagger struck the wolf precisely on the back of the neck.
-1!
A number floated up above the wolf's head.
"Huh?" Zhao San'an's ecstatic expression froze instantly, replaced by astonishment and confusion.
The Shadow Wolf that had been ambushed slowly turned its head, a hint of anthropomorphic doubt seemingly flashing in its scarlet wolf eyes.
It sized up the little creature in front of it, who was holding a dagger and had a blank expression. It seemed to have determined that the other party was no threat. It just let out a low but intimidating whimper from its throat, and the breath it exhaled carried faint specks of demonic flame.
"Holy crap?! What the hell is this thing?!" Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
He immediately started yelling incoherently in the team chat: "Coordinates (112, 458)! Bosses spotted! Multiple ones! Several super bosses I've never seen before!"
"Help! No! Run! This boss's stats are insanely high! My level 10 assassin can't even deal damage with a backstab! It's forcibly taking 1 point of damage!!"
The moment he sent the message, his survival instinct kicked in and he turned to run away.
However, the harassed Shadow Wolf seemed to have been provoked by his attack, and although its orders were to wipe out wild monsters, it had no reason to let go of this little insect that had taken the initiative to provoke it.
It casually raised one of its huge wolf claws, wreathed in eerie blue flames, and slapped it toward Zhao San'an!
Before the claw strike even arrived, the terrifying wind pressure had already made Zhao San'an gasp for breath. He had no doubt that if that claw struck, he would instantly turn into a white light and be sent back to the city for free!
"It's over!" He closed his eyes in despair, his heart filled with regret.
......
On the other side, Lin Tian, who was leisurely riding on the back of the Blazing White Tiger and was even a little drowsy, suddenly heard a crisp system notification sound.
[Ding! Your summoned creature has been attacked by player [Zhao San'an]!]
Lin Tian was slightly taken aback, withdrawing his spiritual sense from its vacant state and scanning his surroundings: "We're already back near Luoxia City?"
He immediately understood what was going on.
To ordinary players, their 200 Shadow Wolves with exaggerated attributes and flashy appearance are probably no different from a group of wild bosses that suddenly spawn.
It's perfectly normal to be attacked as if you're the boss.
"Tsk, troublesome." He frowned slightly.
......
Just when Zhao San'an thought he was going to die, the expected excruciating pain did not come.
He cautiously opened one eye and was astonished to find that the terrifying wolf in front of him had vanished.
Not only that, but the other several equally intimidating blue wolves around them also disappeared.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just his hallucination.
The stark contrast between his near-death experience and his current state of mind made Zhao San'an's legs go weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He was panting heavily, still shaken, and looked around blankly.
"What...what exactly happened?" He touched his unharmed neck, his mind filled with questions.
The team chat channel has exploded:
"Zhao San'an! What's going on? Where's the boss? Send me the coordinates!"
"Brother San'an, are you alright? Why are you so quiet?"
"Am I seeing things? How can there be a boss like that in a level 10 area?"
"Zhao San'an, you're not lying to us, are you?" the female priest in the team asked suspiciously.
"That's right, that's right, Zhao San'an is definitely bragging again!" The female mage chimed in.
Zhao San'an then came to his senses and excitedly replied in the team chat: "Why would I lie to you guys! I'd be a dog if I were lying! That was really terrifying! That thing was definitely a big boss!"
"I thought I was going to die! I don't know how, but they all suddenly disappeared! It's a pity I was too excited to take screenshots, otherwise I would have definitely shown you!"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." The composed warrior captain spoke up. "It's probably some kind of special mechanism or they were lured away. It's good that they're alright, let's continue grinding and leveling up, everyone focus."
......
Lin Tian had already canceled the [Summon Wolf Pack] skill.
"It's better to keep a low profile to avoid attracting unnecessary attention and trouble," he muttered to himself.
Although he is not afraid of trouble, he hates problems.
During a break in his journey, he opened his attribute panel again to take stock of what he had gained on this trip.
[Current remaining upgrade points: 32145]
[Dominion Power: 21850]
[Star Power: 10000/10000]
Looking at the accumulated resources on the panel, Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction.
"I've saved up over 30,000 upgrade points," he calculated. "That's enough to upgrade three S-grade skills or equipment to SS-grade."
He currently possesses numerous S-rank skills, such as [Law Imprisonment], [Universal Guidance], and [Dominator's Eye], among others.
Each upgrade to SS rank results in a qualitative leap in power.
However, upgrading from SS rank to SSS rank requires an astronomical number of upgrade points (100,000), and it also requires a long period of accumulation.
"I've accumulated over 20,000 points of Dominator's Power." His gaze fell on the enhancement effect of [Dominator's Power]. "I can try using this to permanently increase my base attributes."
However, his base attributes are too high, especially his intelligence, which has exceeded 10,000.
According to the rule of [Power of Domination] that "the higher the attribute, the more it consumes with each upgrade", it is still unknown how much these 20,000+ points of Power of Domination can improve the character.
"The power of the stars is back to full."
