After he walked out of the cave, the time for the elite Green Mud Monsters to respawn still took a while. So, he walked straight into the village. After all, the mission had already indicated that it could be submitted. He was ready to return to the village to receive the next mission.
After he walked for a while, he finally arrived at the village. He walked towards Scarkey’s house and knocked on the door.
“Is Mr. Scarkey home?”
Scarkey looked like he had not woken up yet. In a daze, he looked at Li Yi in front of him as if he did not recognize him.
“If you have something to say, say it quickly. You’re the one who disturbed me from my dreams!”
Li Yi took out the crystal plate from his backpack and directly spoke.
“Mr. Scarkey, is this what you wanted me to take back? I brought it back.”
Li Yi handed the crystal plate to Scarkey.
“Oh? I didn’t expect your strength to be so good that you actually found this thing. However, there are still some missing components at the moment. I need to do some research.
One thing is for sure, I can confirm that that place is even more dangerous. Go and increase your strength a little more before asking me more!”
After saying that, Scarkey took the crystal plate and returned to his room.
[System Notification: Mission Updated!]
[Mission Content: Scarkey needs time to find clues about the Lost Ring. Please level up to level 8 before looking for Scarkey to receive the next mission! (sixth ring)]
[Mission Reward: Unknown!]
Li Yi shook his head. He did not expect there to be another level from this mission. Perhaps the guy who completed the mission in his previous life had already surpassed level 8, so there was no such thing. Since that was the case, he would just continue to level up.
Li Yi then walked out of the village.
“Roar!!”
At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud roar from afar. The ground began to slightly tremble. It was comparable to the scene of the boss he killed yesterday, the King of the Green Mud Monsters!
The commotion did not scare everyone. Instead, it made them even more excited. Many people ran out of the village. It seemed that they have already received the news from their teammates.
“Hurry up and leave!!! A special boss has appeared outside the village. We have to kill it. There are definitely fine-tier or even flawless-tier equipment insights for us. Divine Revelation has already notified us.”
“I’m pumped! Even if I have to die, I’ll?still kill the boss to get rid of a layer of its health!”
Countless players cried out as they frantically ran out of the village. They looked like they were fighting to be first, as if they were afraid that the boss would be killed by someone else.
However, there were still some who did not immediately head over. Many of them knew how powerful the boss was, and they did not have any equipment right now. If they went, they would probably be instantly killed. There were also some who wanted to take advantage of the situation at the last moment.
“A special boss?”
Li Yi suddenly remembered. In the game world, not long after the server opened, an extremely special boss was dropped in all the Novice Villages.
This kind of boss could not be defeated by a few people alone. The mechanism of the boss was different from those black-iron bosses. It required the players to work together.
It was necessary to avoid all the skills of the boss. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill it.
After the first Novice Village killed this special boss, a large number of equipments, skill books, materials, and other items dropped. The items had a 30-second protection period. After killing the boss, they would have to fight for it with their own abilities.
He remembered some of the items dropped by this special boss. It was said that in the Novice Village where the first boss was killed, one of them had obtained a special necklace. Li Yi did not know the specific effects of the necklace, but the person who had obtained the necklace did not reveal it.
If that was the case, then this necklace should definitely belong to Li Yi. Other equipments, skills, and so on were all trivial matters. With his strength and his memories from his previous life, it would not be difficult for him to obtain these things.
Right now, what he was interested in were those special equipment, tools, and so on. Those were truly priceless treasures. Even gold coins or US dollars could not buy them.
Those things would only appear once in the game. There would never be a second one!
...
“Carefree Dream!!”
Right as Li Yi was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone call out from behind him.
He turned around and saw Snow Chaser running towards him. Her enviable figure was definitely eye-catching when she ran.
From afar, Snow Chaser could see the man with the steel sword on his back. He was also dressed in awe-inspiring armor. In this Novice Village, he seemed to be the most charming-looking person.
“Carefree Dream. I’ve finished learning my skills. Now, I can fight alongside you.”
After saying that, Snow Chaser waved the staff in her hand and said with a proud expression.
“Hey! Very good!”
After saying that, Li Yi took out a gemstone scepter that emitted a faint green light and handed it to her.
“We’re going to fight the boss soon. You can use this for now!”
Snow Chaser took the scepter and checked its attributes. Her expression changed drastically and she immediately said, “This... This attribute can be sold for at least 5 gold coins. The real value is at least 45,000 US dollars. This is the equipment you obtained?! I don’t have a lot of gold coins right now. Why don’t I transfer 45,000 US dollars to you.”
Li Yi nodded and said, “Sure!”
Snow Chaser’s family background was not bad. It was not difficult for her to take out this money.
“Then it’s a deal. Thank you so much. You can’t buy this thing even if you have money!”
After Snow Chaser transferred the money, he immediately gave up the new staff to her, and she happily and equipped the powerful staff. The attributes of the staff immediately increased by a large margin.
“Let’s go, it’s time to take a look at the special boss!”
“Okay!”
...
The two of them went outside of the village. The outside was densely packed with many players. There were at least tens of thousands of players present. Everyone’s eyes shined as they stared at the scene in front of them. Those who did not know better would have thought that there was a big star that was hung in the middle.
At this moment, there was a huge cage in front of them. Inside the cage was the main body of the boss. It looked to be in a confined state.
There were already a large number of players that tried to attack the cage. It seemed that the durability of the cage was slowly decreasing.
Watching this, the people from several guilds around them did not move. Their gazes were all locked onto the cage that slowly lost its durability. Everyone knew that this boss was not easy to defeat, so they prepared themselves to observe how it moved first.
There were quite a number of guilds in the Novice Village. There were four to five guilds such as the Undead Guild, Summer Wind Guild, and so on. Li Yi did not know much about them either. It was possible that they had already disbanded in the middle and later stages of the game.
Among these players, only Li Yi was more familiar with the two guilds. One was the Scorching Sun guild, and the other was the Proud guild in the sc*m gathering place.
“Boom!!”
The durability of the cage had reached 0. The cage was broken, and the face of the boss got completely revealed in everyone’s eyes!
The boss was at least 5 meters tall, and its entire body was covered in black metal armor. Only a pair of extremely cold eyes were shown as if it was a devil from hell.
A huge red cloak was draped behind its back, and both of its hands gripped on the greatsword. At this moment, its eyes stared coldly at the players in front of it.
[Boss: Demonized Commander]
[Rarity: Special]
[HP: 300,000]
[Physical Attack: 300]
[Magic Attack: 260]
[Physical Defense: 100]
[Magic Defense: 80]
[Boss Skill: ???]
[Special Skill: ???]
As expected, the HP of this special boss was very high. However, its defense was still relatively low. However, it had a lot of f*cking skills! All of them were large-scale attacks!
Fortunately, the Demonized Commander that just came out was still bounded by chains, and it looked like it could not move freely. At that moment, it raised the greatsword in its hand high up and released a long roar.
The next moment, everyone saw a layer of darkness that appeared at the center of the boss’s feet, and it instantly covered the surrounding area. If they wanted to attack the boss, they had to enter this area.
[System Notification: The Demonized Commander has used the skill ‘Light of Fear’. All players who enter this area will have their attack reduced by 20%! When there are no players in the ‘Light of Fear’, the boss will immediately refresh its status!]
However, after releasing its skill, the Demonized Commander stood still on the spot. The chains on its body made it unable to move.
At this moment, many players had also charged forward to attack the boss. However, the players, who originally did not have a high attack power, had their attacks reduced, which resulted in an embarrassing number!
“-2.”
“-8.”
“-1.”
“-7.”
However, they had the advantage in numbers. There were at least 300 players that surrounded the boss. In just one round of attacks, the boss had already lost close to 1,000 HP.
At this moment, the spectating guilds saw that the boss’s movements were restricted. Hence, they decided to send a small portion of their players to attack the boss. Their main force of players was left at the back.
Seeing this situation, Snow Chaser was also prepared to go forward. However, Li Yi immediately pulled her back.
“Let’s wait before we go! The boss’s condition isn’t right at this moment.”
