In the deepest part of Wolf King Valley.
Su Yu stood behind a large tree, observing the distant [Howling Moon Wolf King].
[Howling Moon Wolf King IVIO (Rare)]
Health: 140000
The [Howling Moon Wolf King] is a giant wolf similar to a tundra wolf in shape, standing 3 meters high and 4.6 meters long, its fur as white as snow and demonstrating a martial air.
What is most noteworthy, of course, is its health, a whopping 140,000! It is 1,000 times that of monsters of the same level!
In “Evolution”, the health of a regular boss is generally 10 times that of monsters of the same level. High-quality bosses range from 12 to 30 times, and rare bosses 33 to 100 times.
However, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] is a bit special. It acts as the boss of a monster siege, a “raid boss,” with its health boosted by 1,000 times, reaching the caliber of a top-tier epic boss.
Moreover, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] isn’t just a lone wolf. It is surrounded by 12 [Elite Wolf King Guards] (IVIO, Health 1400), standard boss templates.
Gazing at this prideful group of wolf tribe bosses, Su Yu’s expression became serious.
He was simply not a match for the [Howling Moon Wolf King].
The Wolf King is enormous in size. Typically, in the game, larger size usually means faster speed.
Even if Su Yu used an ice spell to slow down the [Howling Moon Wolf King], it could still easily catch up with him. The idea of “kiting” wasn’t going to work.
As soon as the Wolf King caught up with him, a single swipe would knock him offline.
Perhaps Su Yu, with his experience, could dodge a few strikes, but don’t forget the Wolf King has 140,000 HP! In a long battle, Su Yu can’t ensure he won’t be hit by the Wolf King once.
One hit would be the end of him.
“Sigh! I’d better let the village players handle it… but can they really handle it?”
Su Yu had no confidence.
In his previous lifetime, there were quite a few incidents of monster sieges in the novice villages and main cities. The success to failure rate was approximately fifty-fifty.
But this time was different. The Wolf King’s attack came too early!
If it wasn’t for Su Yu, this monster siege might not have been triggered until tomorrow night when a general force of players reaches levels 7 and 8, and the first batch of players starts leveling up in Wolf King Valley. By then, the players might be able to hold their ground.
But now…
Su Yu shook his head: “Currently, only a few avid players reached level 7, and all of them have logged off.”
“Most of the players are around level 4. The Wolf King has a level suppression of up to 6 levels on them… the failure rate for this monster siege is at least 95%.”
“Forget it, I should report this to the authorities, Emperor Blood, and Zhan
Tian in the hope that they can make a difference and advise the players to seek refuge in other novice villages.”
Su Yu gave a sigh, turned around towards the entrance of Wolf King Valley, and opened his private chat interface at the same time.
But as soon as Su Yu turned around, he saw a steep cliff on the inside of the entrance to Wolf King Valley, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew this cliff.
On finishing the [Annie’s Revenge] quest, Snow Fall had once recommended him to jump off this cliff to dodge the lethal blow of the [Star-forged Dragon King].
But since it was Snow Fall’s suggestion, Su Yu dismissed it without a thought.
Now looking again at the cliff, a bold idea emerged in his mind, it seemed like he could find a way to deal with the Wolf King!
“Now that the game season just began, the threat range of the monsters should not have been adjusted, and perhaps I could use this cliff to kill the Wolf King boss! ”
Su Yu’s eyes brightened!
The monotonous leveling for the past four hours had bored him stiff, but now he finally found a challenging goal, and a sense of long-lost excitement instantly welled up!
However, before dealing with the Wolf King boss, he needed to be well-prepared.
For instance, he needed a better set of faster-moving equipment, preferably dual speed equipment, and an [Ice Arrow] spell scroll.
If not, he wouldn’t even reach the cliff edge with the boss before it caught up with him and killed him.
With this in mind, Su Yu didn’t hesitate and put on his full speed leather armor and ran towards Nolan Village at full speed.
Now, Nolan Village was crowded with people.
Players from other villages heard that the 6th novice village had a monster siege event and rushed over with the mindset of participating, making the small village packed to the brim.
Su Yu passed through the surging crowd in the village, barely squeezed into the warehouse.
After entering the warehouse, he finally sighed with relief.
Fortunately, the inside of the warehouse was a separate plane, otherwise, with so many people crowding in, he wouldn’t be able to buy anything.
He opened the product search interface of the warehouse and skillfully selected the keywords [Equipment], [Movement Speed], [Breastplate].
He quickly found a long list of equipment. Their levels ranged from 3 to 5, and
90% of them were leather armor.
For example, [Traveler’s Leather Jacket IV3 (Excellent)] (Defense +8,
Movement speed +0.3)
The increased movement speed provided by these breastplates isn’t high, roughly 0.2 to 0.4.
But these breastplates are very cheap, generally priced between 10 to 30 spiritual energy coins.
At this stage, speed equipment has no use for leveling up, so what seems to be an excellent quality piece of equipment is no different from unenhanced equipment for the players.
Su Yu, who has plenty of money, directly selected the five breastplates with the highest increase in movement speed.
Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!
The five breastplates were quickly taken from the warehouse.
Upon receiving the five items, Su Yu used the [Point Star Hand] on each one of them.
“Ding, do you want to spend 300 spiritual energy coins to strengthen [Wind
Talker’s Chest IV3 (Excellent)]?”
“Confirm!”
“Ding, [Wind Talker’s Chest IV3 (Excellent)] quality has been upgraded to [Wind Talker’s Chest IV3 (Rare)], gained Defense +5, an additional attribute:
Agility +3.”
Not this one, next!
“Ding, do you want to spend 500 spiritual energy coins to strengthen [Red Wolf’s Jacket Iv5 (Excellent)? ]
“Confirm!”
“Ding, [Red Wolf’s Jacket Iv5 (Excellent)] has been upgraded to [Red Wolf’s Jacket Iv5 (Rare)], gained Defense +5, an additional attribute: Attack Speed
+100/0.”
“Ding, [Uncle Anno’s Leather Armor IV3 (Excellent)] quality has increased…”
The additional property from each strengthening is random, so Su Yu had to keep strengthening, hoping for a dual speed increase.
He had finished strengthening all five pieces, but none of them were the “dual speed” equipment he wanted.
Su Yu’s facial expression didn’t change; he bought another five pieces of equipment with the highest increase in movement speed.
Eventually, when [Point Star Hand] was used on the eighth piece.
“Ding, [Fast as Wind Leather Armor Iv4 (Excellent)] quality increased to [Fast as Wind Leather Armor Iv4 (Rare)], gained Defense +5, additional attribute:
Movement Speed +0.3.”
“Finally got it!” Su Yu let out a long breath.
[Fast as Wind Leather Armor Iv4 (Rare)]
Defense +9
Movement Speed +0.4
Movement Speed +0..3
