Fortunately, the coordinates Fatty sent was not far away. It only took Li Yi 9 minutes to arrive at the destination.
It was a dense forest with mountains after mountains before him, and he could not see the end at a glance. Here was the Western Continent’s Star Mountains. The complexity of the terrain was comparable to that of Grizzly Hill. Without such an item as Ice Toad King that could leap over the cliffs, it was impossible to reach the interior part.
Li Yi switched to riding the Ice Toad King to cross over several cliffs and spotted Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was circling around a large protruding rock. The humanoid boss, Alaska the Defector, held two blades in hand and was chasing him continually, while Fire Spirit Pet would play out a few punches from time to time.
Alaska the Defector had 1,500,000 HP, and since he was a Poisonous Thief, it was not easy to deal with him. Chen Yang had been battling for more than half an hour and could only reduce 50,000 HP of Alaska the Defector. The reason was simple, this thief-boss did not only know how to use Stealth but he also secretly used Bandage to heal while in Stealth Mode.
Chen Yang finally managed to take 100,000 HP off, but the boss would recover about 50,000 to 60,000 with an emergency Bandage. The most perverse thing was that the Cooldown time for the thief-boss’ Bandage was very short. It could be used again in just after 20 seconds.
Not to mention that the thief-boss would disappear after 5 hours, even if you gave Chen Yang 5 more days, he would not be able to defeat the boss still.

Alaska the Defector gave two consecutive slashes and instantly took away two-thirds of Chen Yang’s HP. Fatty was startled, and he immediately triggered the Dwarf’s Innate Ability, Statue Mode.
[Statue Mode: Dispels poison, disease, and bleeding effects. Increases your DEF by 10%. Lasts for 8 seconds. Cooldown: 3 minutes.]
Li Yi arrived and drew his bow to shoot. With just a few arrows, he managed to pull aggro on Alaska.
When he jumped into the deep abyss, Violent Bear King was automatically disbanded. Now that all Class Skills could not be used, naturally, he could not summon any pets.
The Life Sacrificial Curse was quite prevalent. Even if the character died within its time limit, it could not be dispelled, and without a Priest and the corresponding scroll to lift the curse, Li Yi could only shoot point blank at this time.
Alaska gave up Chen Yang, coldly sneered a few times, and entered Stealth Mode.
“Whish!”
Li Yi raised his hand and shot out an arrow, hitting Alaska, who was using Stealth and interrupted his use of Bandage.
Bandage originated from the first-aid skill of lifestyle class, and this life skill could be learned by everyone. The effect was that one could heal in 8 seconds while in battle. The HP regenerated and the Bandage level was interrelated, and the Cooldown time for players was 2 minutes.
Additionally, any attack could interrupt the use of Bandage.
“Super terrific. You’re actually able to aim at him even when he uses Stealth.” Chen Yang gave Li Yi a thumbs-up and ordered Fire Spirit Pet to attack.
Alaska used Cyclone Step to chase after Li Yi, who immediately ran towards Chen Yang’s.
Fire Spirit Pet came up, and after a few heavy fire punches, the aggro on Alaska was pulled over to it.
Fire Spirit Pet was unable to resist Alaska. It basically turned into ashes after 4 to 5 hits. However, this stuff was of an infinite variety. As long as Chen Yang’s mana was sufficient, he could summon one after another without limit.
Li Yi continued to deal damage. With the damage of 900+ an arrow, he was dealing more than Fire Spirit Pet even by just shooting at point blank.
“I can’t use skills, so you have to pay attention to your mana.”
Chen Yang nodded and pointed his staff. Soul Staff Technique landed on Alaska’s head, chipping off 38 HP.
Summoners had only one attack skill, Soul Staff Technique, which could be used for ranged and melee attack. Its force was so weak that it was known as the crappiest skill ever in the history of Pantheon. There was none other than it.
Soul Staff Technique was really trashy, but if one knew how to utilize it, one could also play out a wonderful battle.
Take Chen Yang’s current tactics for example. He first used Quell Anger to reduce his pet’s aggro before striking the boss with the Soul Staff Technique. By doing so, the aggro on the boss would be transferred to him.
Regarding infinitely summoning his pet to resist the boss, Chen Yang was still short on mana, but there would be no problem after transferring aggro. His mana could slowly regenerate while running.
When Alaska’s HP dropped by about 100,000, he once again used Stealth, but Li Yi immediately shot at him and exposed him.
“F*ck. You’re actually able to find him while he moves into Stealth Mode. Tell your bro quickly, how did you do it?” Chen Yang enviously called out.
“Intuition!” Li Yi smirked.
It was indeed intuition. The intuition from playing Thief for eight years in the past life...
Of course, even if there was a mistake in his intuition, it did not matter. Li Yi’s human Innate Ability, Sensory, had not even been used.
Alaska’s Bandage was interrupted again, so he was exceptionally enraged, and his aggro toward Li Yi instantly surpassed Chen Yang. Cyclone Step was initiated, and he charged over.
Chen Yang ordered Fire Spirit Pet to move forward to block him but it failed. The aggro at the moment was so high that it could not be transferred.

Li Yi was almost killed with two slashes. Fortunately, the terrain here was complicated. Li Yi ran around the large rock and finally escaped any further attacks.
Li Yi waved an arm and used Life Blood, the Professional Skill acquired through advancing to Intermediate-level Apothecarist.
Regenerating 800 points of HP in 5 seconds, very quickly, all the HP that was lost was recovered.
Fire Spirit Pet dealt heavy blows continually, and Alaska’s aggro was finally shifted again, allowing Li Yi to once again pull apart the distance from him.
Being unable to summon a pet and use any skills, there was no need to mention how frustrating that would be in battle.
Fortunately, the two had a tacit understanding, and no one made any mistakes. Except for the danger during aggro transfer, there was nothing else to pay attention to.
Alaska’s HP continued to drop and quickly reached below 200,000.
Most of the bosses in King of Pantheon would use some very perverse skills when their HP dropped. Alaska was no exception. One could see him suddenly jumping into the air and hurling out a stream of red smog downward.
“Living Poisonous Smog!”
The effective range of the red smog was 300 yards, and one could not escape from it and would just have to resist it upfront.
“Don’t move. Don’t move at all. Best to be beaten than to move at all,” Li Yi cautioned Chen Yang.
Living Poisonous Smog was the Poisonous Thieves’ unique skill. Of course, if it was used by players, its range would certainly not be this amazing, but the effect was the same.
For those who came into contact with Alaska’s Living Poisonous Smog, once they moved or cast a spell, they would immediately become stiff and be unable to move. The Living Poisonous Smog would then erupt inside their body for 30 seconds, and basically, once it erupted, you would die.
This trick was coined by the players as Falling Over With A Smile Or Half-a-step 1 . It was easy to survive it. So long as one did not cast any spell or walk but just stand still for 10 seconds, it would pass.
Fire Spirit Pet contracted it. It only took a little step, and the Living Poisonous Smog erupted inside of its body. Its HP was instantly brought down to zero, and it turned into ashes, falling to the ground.
Alaska gripped his double blades and rushed over, targeting Chen Yang. Fortunately, 10 seconds was not that long. Time was almost up when Alaska approached him. Chen Yang took on 4 slashes, gulped down a bottle of Intermediate-level Recovery Potion, and immediately used Statue Mode to resist.
Li Yi’s arrow came just in time to intercept Alaska before he could deal the final blow to Chen Yang, effectively saving his life. Subsequently, Alaska jumped into the sky again...
“Living Poisonous Smog!”
The endless casting of Living Poisonous Smog; the most perverse phase had begun.
In order to avoid this trick, one had to run as far away as possible every time Alaska jumped. With that, when the time was over, the effect of Living Poisonous Smog would disappear.
In this battle, the two fought with much difficulty, especially Li Yi, who could not use any skill. He was so frustrated that he almost swore out loud.
There were, fortunately, a number of special skills from the equipment he was wearing; small fireballs, Dark Devour, and Fiery Boots were used interchangeably, resolving many of Alaska’s deadly attack.
Finally, after battling for more than three hours, Alaska fell at the feet of the two.
Another Hall of Fame record was achieved. But when the System notified whether to announce the name, Li Yi declined.
‘People are still lambasting in the World Channel. If the name for the first kill is announced now, wouldn’t that be telling everyone that I, Dark Wing, am at the West Continent and that I’ve just killed three alt accounts that were not even Level 10 yet? Brother Windcloud Nine would be proven right...’
“Sigh. Low-key’s really a byword for you, bro.” Chen Yang shook his head helplessly.
The System’s information for the first kill spammed. [Player ** and Player **** has achieved the first kill of Level 40 World Boss, Alaska the Defector. System reward 100 points Reputation Value with Pantheon World obtained! System reward 3 Skill Points obtained! System reward 200,000 EXP obtained!]
Chen Yang went forward to loot the corpse, and the System’s notification sound rang out about ten times. From the top to the bottom of the Virtual Inventory Pane were all materials.
“20 sets of Phoenix Tail, 20 sets of Stardust Fragments, 20 sets of Fire-scale Crystal Jade, 20 sets of Deep Sea Ice Beads... Dang, why are they all materials?”
Chen Yang lost interest after taking a look at it.
“What do you know? These things are worth more than equipment.”
Facing Fatty, who knew nothing about the trade, Li Yi explained to him while keeping the materials.
“Regarding the equipment at the present, except for certain legendary ones, the rest is just a transition. When you get to more than Level 100, will the current equipment still be useful? I tell you, there’s no use at all. Only these materials are extremely useful regardless of what level!”
“They’re precious to you, but to me, they’re just rubbish.” Chen Yang’s lips twitched. He did not change his point of view just because of Li Yi’s words.
“If you don’t want them, then they’re all mine.”
“I don’t care even if you throw it away.”
‘Fine. There’s nothing more to say.’ Li Yi chuckled and put all the materials into his backpack.
’20 sets of Fire-scale Crystal Jade would be enough to make tens of thousands of Flame Arrows. This is a huge profit.’
Chen Yang rode on the Ice Toad King and leaped away. To him, looting treasure chest was much more enjoyable. Not only did he have the best chance to loot legendary equipment, but he also could obtain achievements and Hall of Fame records.
“Huh, as long as your bro continues to work hard, it won’t take long for me to climb up Blade Peak.”
Li Yi had shared the video of him climbing Blade Peak to Chen Yang. Chen Yang was extremely envious. He secretly tried a few times but did not even manage to reach halfway. After falling to death for more than a dozen times, only then did he temporarily give up the idea.
After acquiring 20 sets of Fire-scale Crystal Jade, Li Yi was very satisfied. Upon returning to Shattered Frost City, he immediately began the process of making arrows.
Be it beginner level or intermediate level, the materials for the making of Flame Arrows were the same. The only difference was that Intermediate-level Flame Arrows required more materials. Apart from that, there was no difference in terms of the types of materials.
Red lights flashed continuously in both Li Yi’s hands and one Flame Arrow after another was made by him.
[Beginner-level Flame Arrow: 30–50 ATK. Special effect: There is a certain chance to cause the target to be in a burned state. HP drops 20 points per second for 20 seconds. At this time, when the archer attacks the target, the damage value will increase by 5%-10%.]
[Intermediate Flame Arrow: 50–80 ATK. Special effect: There is a certain chance to cause the target to be in a burned state. HP drops 30 points per second for 20 seconds. At this time, when the archer attacks the target, the damage value will increase by 10%-20%.]
With all this stuff, whether it was leveling up or PK, Li Yi would most certainly be a force to be reckoned with.
