Chapter 52 Chapter51- Raging Treant King
After John finished speaking to Wolf Howl.
Suddenly, Wolf Howl rolled his eyes and turned into a wisp of black smoke before disappearing.
This left Riverlo and Lolo quite surprised.
"What happened, we didn't do anything to him!" Lolo said, "Could he also forcibly log off?"
John shook his head, "He committed suicide."
In the game "Godslayer", there is a specific option left for players to commit suicide.
After suicide, the player will be directly teleported to the respawn pool in the nearest city.
Correspondingly, if a player commits suicide, the character's loss will be very high.
Not only will they lose more Exp, but also randomly drop a piece of Equip and an item.
Therefore, even if a player is killed by a monster or another player, they usually wouldn't choose to commit suicide.
Wolf Howl's suicide this time clearly demonstrated the psychological damage John's intimidation had inflicted.
He would rather commit suicide and drop Equip than stay here any longer.
At this point, Riverlo noticed a black cloak that Wolf Howl had dropped upon death.
He picked it up to take a look:
[Shadow Cloak (Uncommon): Once belonged to a distinguished assassin, it can help the owner hide their figure in the shadows.]
[Level: 40. Can be equipped when the level reaches 40 or agility reaches 80.]
[Attributes: +20 armor, +12 agility]
[Set Effect: Shadow Set (1/2), when two pieces of this set are equipped, the skill 'Shadow Assassination' can be used.]
[Shadow Assassination (Special Skill): Allows the wearer to throw their equipped weapon, dealing three times the weapon's attack power + three times the agility value in damage, and inducing 'Shadow Poison' effect on the hit enemy. 'Shadow Poison' causes the target to lose 2% of their HP per second, lasting for 8 seconds. If the poisoned target's HP falls below 10% during the duration of 'Shadow Poison', they will be killed instantly.]
…
"Amazing!"
After reading the attributes, both Riverlo and Lolo couldn't help but exclaim.
The attributes of this Equip were quite good.
Moreover, the additional skill from the set was even more fearsome.
Lolo recalled the dagger Wolf Howl had thrown at her from the shadows, it was likely a skill like this!
"No wonder the Wolf Guild is so arrogant, the Equip of their vice guild leader is already so powerful!" Lolo couldn't help but sigh,
"I really don't know where they get so many good Equip from."
Riverlo picked up the cloak and handed it to John, "Galewind, this is an assassin's Equip, you can have it."
John laughed and shook his head, "I don't need it. Didn't you see I didn't have any trouble defeating Wolf Howl?"
Riverlo looked at John and said, "But I don't see you wearing any good cloak either, did you beat Wolf Howl without any Equip?"
John replied, "I did want to get a good set of Equip, wearing novice Equip all the time does indeed look bad. Once the Wolf Guild matter is settled, I'll go get some decent Equip."
Riverlo said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for troubling you, for delaying your own matters because of me..."
"No, I'm not fond of the Wolf Guild either, it's not just for you, so don't feel bad," said John, "It's a pity that you're a hunter, this cloak won't help you..."
At this moment, as if remembering something, John looked at the well-behaved Lolo standing on the side and asked:
"By the way, what's your sister's class?"
Before Riverlo could answer, Lolo responded herself, "Brother Galewind, I'm an assassin too!"
John handed the cloak to her, "That's perfect, here you go, you can make use of it."
Lolo said with some embarrassment, "But I haven't reached level 40 yet, and my agility isn't 80 either..."
John looked surprised, "What? I thought by level 35, an assassin's agility should be around 80?"
Lolo scratched her head, "My assassin class is a bit unique..."
"She's a 'Mage Assassin'," Riverlo explained on behalf of his sister, "A hidden class that assassins can advance into, excelling at stealth and casting powerful spells to assassinate. This class doesn't have as high agility as a typical assassin, but their mental and intellectual abilities are much higher."
John nodded.
That made sense why her agility wasn't up to 80.
Seeing that Lolo was at level 37, John said,
"That's okay, you can still take it. You'll reach level 40 sooner or later, and you can put it on then."
Seeing John's insistence, Riverlo smiled at his sister, "Just take it, Lolo. Shouldn't you thank Galewind?"
"Thank you, Galewind brother!"
Lolo happily accepted the cloak, she truly loved this Equip.
"What a pity, a pair is needed to activate the special skill."
John smiled, "Isn't that easy? Wolf Howl can use this skill, which means he definitely has the other piece of this set."
"Once we leave the Raging Forest, I'll find him and get the other piece from him."
John's tone was extremely relaxed, as if he was talking about what to have for dinner that night, completely disregarding Wolf Howl.
As they were talking, something strange happened in the forest.
Numerous birds flew into the sky, something fearsome seemed to be moving in the forest.
Riverlo's companion, Whitty, was frantically barking at the depths of the forest, its fur standing on end.
John also noticed the anomaly, he turned around, looking at the ground.
Beneath the surface, where Riverlo and Lolo couldn't see, horrifying roots were spreading, quickly reaching under their feet.
John turned back and asked the clueless Lolo,
"By the way, didn't your brother say you guys came to defeat a boss? A Treant Elite Boss?"
Lolo nodded, then said regretfully,
"It's all Wolf Guild's fault! We were about to take down the boss, and then those guys suddenly ambushed us... and the elite treant boss, that we had whittled down to only one-tenth of its HP, ran away."
"Ran away?!" Riverlo was shocked when he heard this.
"Yeah, why? What's wrong?"
Lolo didn't understand why her brother was so nervous.
John looked back towards the depths of the forest and said,
"I guess, that treant that ran away, has probably gone to get reinforcements. It's coming back for revenge."
Riverlo nodded,
"The treants in the Raging Forest are all connected. This boss surely knows even stronger treants deep within the forest! You letting it escape will definitely draw a more formidable boss!"
He then turned to John, "Brother Galewind! We need to get out of here!"
John shook his head, "We can't run anymore."
Riverlo looked confused, "Why? Treants are slow, as long as we move fast we can..."
Before he could finish speaking, the ground beneath them suddenly burst open.
Numerous vines shot out, aiming directly for them!
John snorted coldly, and the Divine Blade appeared in his hand.
Then, countless flashes of sword light swept across.
All the vines that had burst out were sliced into pieces by John!
Although they were safe for now,
their retreat had been cut off.
Around them, countless vines sprouted from the ground, blocking all the paths.
Overhead, various vines obscured the sky.
Even if they could fly, they would find it hard to escape today.
"What is this?!"
Riverlo stood stunned, finally understanding what John meant by not being able to run anymore.
Lolo was also shocked, she had never seen such a scene.
Whitty, however, was very brave.
It stood protectively in front of its master, ready to charge and attack at any time.
John said, "This is probably another elite Treant boss, stronger than the former one ."
Just as he finished speaking, the ground shook in the depths of the forest.
A nearly thirty-foot-tall tree slowly walked towards them.
The tree was lush with leaves and branches, and above it displayed:
[Raging Treant King (Elite Boss)]
[Level: 100]
[Attributes: ...]
...
