Volume 1 Chapter 14: Setbacks and Sacrifice (3)
The team continued to move forward, killing several groups of monsters along the way, but I felt a little uneasy. Han Jiang suddenly said, "Little Bird, you go ahead!" Lonely and I suddenly realized what was going on, but Fatty and the others still didn't understand.
I explained, "The silver wolf we killed just now was a small boss that spawned normally in the Blue Wolf Gorge, and the golden wolf king is a G-level boss, and there should be 5 silver wolf kings guarding him. We definitely can't beat so many bosses at our level, but the wolves only attack players within a 50-meter range, and the bird's archers have the longest attack range. The elves are born with good eyesight. After she leads the way and finds the wolf king, she can use the bow and arrow to lure the silver wolves around it one by one and defeat them one by one. We still have a slight chance of winning, otherwise there is no need to fight."
Ah Wei, Fatty, Fish Lover and Qianshan Feiniao had not participated in the internal test. After listening to my explanation, their faces became serious. Only then did they realize that the super boss was not easy to beat. I don't know how powerful the golden wolf king is, but the five silver wolves... As long as three of them attack at the same time, we can only run away!
After changing the formation, we moved forward more slowly. Fei Niao gave instructions from the front. If we encountered an ordinary wolf pack, she would retreat back to the middle of the team, and Lonely and I would still lead the way.
Gradually walking to the deepest part of Qinglang Gorge, Fei Niao suddenly made a gesture, she found the Wolf King!
We looked far away, but our eyesight was not as good as the Elf's. The scenery in the distance was a little blurry, and we couldn't see the figure of the Wolf King. In real life, I am a little shortsighted, but when I selected the Elf for the internal test, my eyesight was so good, absolutely the standard of a pilot!
However, even Fei Niao could not attack the Wolf King at such a long distance. We cautiously walked forward a few more steps. When we estimated that they were about the right distance, Fei Niao, Fatty and Awei used long-range attacks to lure and kill all the monsters nearby. After making all preparations, Fei Niao drew his bow and shot an arrow at a silver wolf next to the Wolf King.
We are now about 100 meters away from the wolf king. Everyone can clearly see the wolf king's appearance. A huge wolf with a golden body and a long golden mane on its neck is lying on a boulder to bask in the sun and take a nap (in order to allow more novices to get familiar with the game as quickly as possible, the time in the game for the first three days of Fantasy Zero is all daytime. After three days, the time in the game will correspond to the real time, and there will be corresponding changes in the natural environment such as wind, frost, rain, snow, and the waxing and waning of the moon. The abilities of characters and monsters will be affected in different environments)! Five silver wolves lazily lay at the feet of the wolf king.
Fei Niao's archery skills are pretty good, and he actually hit a silver wolf on the first shot from such a long distance. Although the super-long range greatly weakened the power of the bow and arrow, it only tickled the silver wolf, but it successfully attracted its attention. After a wolf howl, the silver wolf that was hit by the arrow stood up and shook its body, then suddenly crouched down and accelerated, rushing towards us like a silver lightning.
Wow! Monsters can also play surprise attacks? Fortunately, the distance is far enough. Although the silver wolf is fast, it gives us enough time to react. Fei Niao quickly retreats, and the three warriors rush forward. With the experience of killing the previous silver wolf, we kill it more easily this time, and soon we succeed in killing the wolf.
Following the instructions, Fei Niao continued to "seduce" the second silver wolf. Alas, this monster-luring tactic can only be used against G-level bosses. Higher-level bosses definitely understand the principle of concentrating forces and have already led their minions to pounce together! During the internal test, a player planned and organized a team of thousands of people to kill the SS-level boss Seven-winged Dragon King. At the beginning, they entered the Dragon King Valley very smoothly. Unexpectedly, the Dragon King set up an ambush. When the player's large force entered the narrow terrain, the Dragon King led his three golden dragons, dark dragons, red-armored dragons, jade dragons... a total of 14 dragons, as well as a large number of flying dragons, red dragons , green dragons, black dragons, golden dragons... and countless various ground dragons. The dragon army rushed out and cut the player team into two sections that could not take care of each other. Then there was a bloody massacre... The dark dragon also launched the space magic "confinement", so that the players who entered the Dragon King Valley could not use the return scroll or random scroll, and could only wait to die! It can be seen how powerful the AI of high-level bosses in Fantasy is!
After about
Looking at everyone's eager and excited eyes, to be honest, the fact that the Wolf King was left alone was also very tempting to me! What if another dark gold equipment dropped? If you want to get rewards for anything, there are always costs and risks! Gritting my teeth, I said, "Everyone get ready. The Golden Wolf King is a G-level Boss, much stronger than the Silver Wolf. It is possible to kill low-health professions in seconds. Fatty, birds and fish must keep their distance, especially the birds. You have weak attack power, so you might as well not make a move. Be responsible for monitoring the movements of nearby monsters. There is no need to lure them this time. The three of us will go and kill them. Wei, don't attack at close range. Just stand far away and throw talismans. OK?"
Everyone nodded. Actually, my instructions were just to remind them. They were all veteran players and had a high level of knowledge and skills in their respective professions, so there would be no problem in cooperating with each other.
I walked side by side with Lonely and Hanjiang. When we were 50 meters away from the wolf king, we seemed to have violated the wolf king's cordon. The sleeping wolf king suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. Wow, he was three times the size of an ordinary blue wolf! He was not in a hurry to attack. He stood proudly on the big rock with a majestic posture, looking down at us coldly. The golden mane on his neck shone brightly in the sun, showing a kingly demeanor. But at this moment, we had no time to appreciate the extremely realistic and exquisite scene of Fantasy. The three of us exchanged glances and rushed forward together!
The Golden Wolf King is a pure physical attack monster, but just because it doesn't know magic doesn't mean it doesn't have long-range attack capabilities! When the enemy attacks it, the Wolf King opens its huge mouth. The Beast King Boss has a common skill called "Beast King Shock Cannon"!
A ball of white light whizzed towards us, aiming at me in the middle. I was startled. This was not something fun. Although its attack power was not as strong as the Wolf King's claws, tearing and biting, physical defense was half as effective against something like a Qigong wave. If I got hit by it, I would lose a lot of blood! I immediately jumped to the side to avoid the light bullet. The light ball exploded when it hit the ground, raising a large piece of soil. My vision was blocked. I could only vaguely feel a flash of golden light in front of my eyes, and then I heard Han Jiang's muffled groan!
Amazing! The Wolf King actually knows how to make a feint to the east and attack in the west! I don't have time to think about it. I rushed to Han Jiang. Han Jiang is a swordsman. His health and defense are less than Mo Mo. It is very dangerous to face the Wolf King alone!
At this time, Fatty and Awei didn't care that attacking the Wolf King would draw its attention to themselves, and they sent out ice arrows and talisman papers respectively, which hit the Wolf King, causing him to sweat profusely. They only deducted 24 and 37 points of blood respectively. The Wolf King didn't care at all and continued to pounce on the precarious Hanjiang River!
Fortunately, I arrived in time, blocking Han Jiang, and took the Wolf King's attack for him. At the same time, I stabbed the Wolf King back. Finally, my attack had some effect, deducting more than 350 HP from the Wolf King. The Wolf King's grab caused me 406 life losses. Although I had nearly 1,000 HP, I still felt a burning pain at the place where I was hit. I guess Han Jiang was just K-ed up, and his health was probably at the bottom. To withstand such an almost instant kill attack, the 10% pain simulation effect was also impressive, and it would not be lighter than a heavy punch in reality. No wonder Han Jiang's face turned pale, and the blood on his shoulder was still gurgling out. In order to avoid overly bloody scenes in the dream, generally after being attacked, there is only a flash of blood, and the body will not leave scars. Only torn wounds will continue to bleed like this. It seems that the Wolf King has a skill similar to the "crack claw" of the giant bat.
Fortunately, we all brought gold medicine, and Han Jiang's bleeding stopped quickly and he retreated temporarily. While he drank the medicine, he kept casting healing spells on him, and his life was soon replenished.
I had to swallow a small pill worth 30 silver coins (instantly replenishing 500 HP). Oh my god, I didn't expect the wolf king to be so much stronger than the silver wolf. I could only withstand three attacks from it at most, and I didn't have time to slowly replenish my HP with the water of life! Sure enough, in a flash, the wolf king bit me again, but I didn't dare to dodge. If I let it break through my defense, the fat bird behind me would be killed instantly!
It was another head-on collision, and both the man and the wolf were hit at the same time. The wolf king didn't care, but I suffered a great loss. Not only did I feel uncomfortable pain every time I was hit, but being forced to use the Xiaohuandan made my heart bleed!
At this time, Loneliness also arrived. He slashed the wolf king's thigh from behind. Fatty and Awei's attacks were not as good as the wolf king's. The wolf king only lost more than 10 points of blood! There was no other way. This guy's magic defense was very high, but his physical defense was even higher than his magic defense. With my attack, I could only knock off more than 300 of his blood. Loneliness, whose attack power was only about half of mine, was good enough to break his defense!
Alas, this battle cannot be fought. Lonely's attack and defense are second only to mine. His attacks are basically ineffective. As for the Wolf King with an attack power of more than 600, Lonely will definitely die with just one critical hit. Hanjiang can't break the Wolf King's defense at all. The others will basically die if they are touched by the Wolf King. I am the only one who has the ability to fight against the Wolf King, but I only have 5 small Huandan pills on me for emergency. How long can I last? Moreover, as a G-level Boss, it has more than just the two skills of "Beast King Impact Cannon" and "Splitting Claw"? Who knows when he will come up with a powerful trick, and we will not rest in peace? The authentic G-level Boss is indeed much more powerful than the H-level Bat King!
While holding off the Wolf King's attack, I shouted, "Everyone, use the City Return Scroll quickly! The Wolf King is too powerful and we can't defeat him!"
Lonely also understood the difference in strength and said angrily: "Let's go back first and practice a few more levels before challenging this guy. There's no way we can do this today!"
Han Jiang was even more concise and clear: "Retreat!"
A flash of white light appeared. Ah Wei probably learned the lesson from the last time he died, so he moved the fastest. Fatty, Bird, and Fish Lover hesitated for a moment. After all, they were not frontline fighters, and they did not feel as much pressure from the Wolf King as the three of us. Maybe they were still thinking about whether they could use other tactics to kill the Wolf King. However, this momentary delay caused unnecessary losses. The Wolf King seemed to understand that we were going to escape, and suddenly jumped high, crossed over my head, and with a lightning-fast blow, he knocked Bird to the ground!
After all, she was a girl. When danger came, she even forgot to use her natural agility to dodge. She only had time to let out a scream, but the wolf king showed no mercy. He opened his huge mouth, and bit the bird's white neck with his sharp fangs mercilessly!
"No!" Han Jiang, who was always calm, had never uttered such a panicked cry. Perhaps the dream was too real. Seeing the bird's body turning into white light and floating in the air, I actually had a feeling that the bird was really dead, and an important companion and friend would leave us forever!
But as the captain, I had to stay calm! I grabbed Han Jiang, who was furious and about to fight the Wolf King, and shouted, "Everyone, run away quickly. If you are slow, you will die! Go back to the city and meet Fei Niao!"
The second half of my sentence worked, making Hanjiang realize that this was just a game. The dead birds would be reborn in the city. She must be expecting us to escape successfully!
Without daring to hesitate any longer, Fatty, Fish and Lonely used the scroll to return to the city one after another. Hanjiang took a look at some potions and a necklace that dropped after Fei Niao died. Although he knew that Fei Niao liked the necklace very much, he also understood that there was absolutely no chance to pick it up again, so he had to open the scroll with me.
After coming out of the return point, I called Fei Niao and found that she had indeed been reborn in the Hall of Samsara (in the Western Continent, it was the Temple of Resurrection) and was waiting for us at Taibai Restaurant.
After everyone gathered together, the mood was a little low. After all, this was our first time working together to challenge a Boss, and we ended up suffering heavy losses and returning in failure. There was no way we could be happy.
"The failure of this operation is mainly due to my fault." I said, "I am a veteran of the internal test and I have long known how powerful the Golden Wolf King is. However, I failed to correctly assess the difference in strength between the two sides and rashly invited you to fight the boss. Little bird, it is my fault that you died and lost experience. I will help you level up later to make up for it."
After hearing what I said, everyone said at once: "This is none of your business." "It's our fault that we didn't escape in time." "Han Jiang and I also participated in the internal test. Didn't we agree to kill the Wolf King?"...
"Stop, listen to me. Even though we failed this time, we are not without gain." I took out more than 200 gold coins dropped by small bosses such as the Violent Wild Wolf and the Silver Wolf King, and more than 20 pieces of equipment I got today, and piled them on the table.
"No matter what, we still make more money than we lose!" I said deliberately in a relaxed manner.
Sure enough, seeing so much money and equipment piled together, everyone's mood finally improved.
"As usual, one for each person. Little Bird dropped a necklace today, so she gets to choose first."
After dividing the spoils, seeing that it was already past 4 o'clock, Fei Niao said that they couldn't stay up all night today. The others also said that it was time to log off and rest. They stood up and said goodbye to each other, agreed on the time to go online tomorrow, and then logged off one by one.
Only Wei and I were left. I said, "Wei, I'm sorry that I said yesterday that I would kill the Wolf King to help you get revenge, but today I got nothing. Do you want to level up with me, and then go and take down the Wolf King after you level up a few more times?"
"No, I'm not as energetic as you. Besides, I have some work to do on the website tomorrow. I have to log off and get some sleep now."
"OK, then you go ahead and I'll practice on my own."
