Seeing his own boss being snatched away, Proud Dali angrily asked, “Carefree Dream, how can you be so shameless up to the point that you even stole our boss?”
Li Yi smiled and said, “Hehe! If you steal bosses from other people, why can’t I?”
Proud Dali angrily shouted, “F*ck this! Brothers, attack him! Focus all your firepower on him! We have all the elite players with us today. We’ll definitely be able to defeat this person!!”
Then, more than twenty Magic Apprentices around Li Yi immediately raised their magic staff and attacked Li Yi with their skills.
“-19.”
“-13.”
…
[System Notification: You have received a malicious attack from a player. You will not be affected by getting a red name if you counterattack or kill the player!]
Li Yi’s magic defense was almost over 100 points at the moment, and the magic attacks of these Proud Guild members had only reached around 100 points. After a wave of attacks, not a single drop of HP was lost from Li Yi.
Li Yi strode towards the group of Magic Apprentices with intentions of attacking them. Suddenly, Clutch King charged over with his sword in hand. There was a red glow on the blade, and it was the Warrior Apprentice’s skill, Heavy Strike!
Li Yi easily moved with a Z-like dodge from his attack. This caused Clutch King’s eyes to widen. “How did he just dodge my skill just now? How… How is this possible?”
In a blink of an eye, Li Yi had already arrived in front of a group of Proud Guild members.
“Horizontal Sword Slash!”
He held his magic weapon in front of him and began his attack, a shadow of a horizontal slash could be seen by others.
“-711.”
“-738.”
“-1610! Critical Hit!”
…
He killed the Proud Guild members in an instant. Not a single one of them survived his skill!
Li Yi looked at the remaining members from Proud Guild and advanced towards them. Under Proud Dali’s venomous gaze, he quickly commanded the rest of his members to retreat back to the Novice Village.
“Just you wait, Carefree Dream, I will-”
“-977.”
With just one attack, Li Yi immediately sent Proud Dali back to the Novice Village himself.
Li Yi looked at Clutch King who was behind him and straightforwardly pointed out his opinions, “Your strength is too weak now; you don’t even have the right to touch me at this moment!”
Li Yi easily slaughtered the players from Proud Guild while he dodged the attacks from the other players behind him. None of the players even had a chance to even graze his hair!
At this moment, Clutch King asked in shock, “What technique did you just use? I couldn’t reach you at all; I even have a swordmaster that I learn from in real life!”
Li Yi said, “If you want to learn, I’ll teach you! However, you’ll have to follow me!!”
He knew Clutch King’s temper very well. He liked fighting with players very much, and he liked fighting with strong people the most. Even if he died ten or a hundred times, he would give up so easily.
Clutch King immediately agreed. “Okay! It’s a deal!”
Li Yi and Clutch King continued on their journey together.
…
Not long after, Li Yi had brought him to the valley. This was the gathering place of the great Bandit leader, Wiles. He glanced at the entrance of the valley. Compared to the other two bosses, Willy and Wilkes, the environment of this place looked to be much better.
It was a beautiful environment with birds that chirped and flowers that bloomed happily on the ground. It was such a waste of resources to have this kind of place that was occupied by a bunch of evil Bandits.
Li Yi checked the monster’s attributes from a distance.
[Level 8 Patrol Bandit (elite)]
[Health: 4,000]
[Physical Attack: 270]
[Defense: 100]
[Skill: Horizontal Sword Slash]
…
Li Yi took out the double-edged steel sword in his backpack and said, “Come on, how can someone like you not have a better weapon?!”
Clutch King checked its attributes and immediately widened his eyes in shock. He could not take his eyes off the weapon in front of him.
Li Yi said with a smile, “How’s it? Is this weapon okay?”
Clutch King said excitedly, “It’s more than okay! I can easily throw mine away!”
“Great, then I’ll give it to you!”
Li Yi waved his hand and gave the double-edged steel sword to Clutch King. This weapon was exactly what the player needed right now. Due to the prices of gold coins slowly soaring up, it would definitely be easy to sell it for at least seventy to eighty thousand dollars.
Clutch King equipped the weapon immediately. He was so touched that he could not speak. Li Yi just patted him on the shoulder and spoke, “Okay! It’s time to fight. You have to study hard and try to defeat me as soon as possible!”
Then, Li Yi moved forward at such a high speed that even the Bandit had no time to react. His Combo and Heavy Strike landed precisely on the Bandit’s neck.
“-1,410! Weak Point Damage, Critical Hit!”
“-1,200! Weak Point Damage!”
“-2,010! Weak Point Damage!”
This attack directly killed this Level 8 elite Patrol Bandit on the spot! On the other hand, Clutch King had to be very careful when he dealt with the elite Patrol Bandit in front of him. The Bandit’s damage was relatively high, so it had to be an intense battle for him to make no mistakes. Otherwise, his health would not be able to hold on.
Li Yi did not bother with him; he knew that he could handle it on his own. Oddly enough, at this moment, he thought of Snow Chaser. If she were here, it would have definitely been much easier to kill the Bandits.
However, Snow Chaser had not been online for a while. He reckoned that something had happened to her at home.
…
With the support of his magic weapon, the speed at which they killed monsters passed by quickly. The Bandits in the valley were wiped out in an hour. Li Yi had finally leveled up from level 7 to level 8 from the EXP gained. The speed at which he leveled up was simply too slow. When compared to Clutch King, he jumped from level 5 to level 6 quickly and he was on the verge of reaching level 7.
The higher the level one reaches, the slower the leveling speed becomes. Novice Village was not meant for players who were about to reach level 10.
Finally, the two of them arrived at the entrance of a cave. On the right side of the cave, there were a lot of human skeletons, and above them showed a sinister sign — Wiles Cave!
When they entered the cave, it had a spacious atmosphere. At one glance, they could see that this cave burrowed deeper into the ground than they initially thought. Moreover, the sound of thunder-like snoring could be heard from inside; they deduced that it could be the boss that produced that noise.
However, this was a very cocky boss. There were very few Bandits in this cave, so much so that there were only two who stood guard! Both of the Bandits held on to their long swords and shields while they guarded the boss’s treasure chest in the middle.
Li Yi checked the attributes of the guards and the treasure box.
[Rare Boss Treasure Box (Silver level): The leader of the Bandits, Wiles’s most precious treasure. Whoever that dares to touch the contents, Wiles shall chase you to death!]
[Reward: Unknown!]
[Level 8 Bandit Guard (elite)]
[Health: 6,000]
[Physical Attack: 180]
[Defense: 150]
[Skills: Shield Strike, and Stab]
A typical monster with high health, high defense, and a low attack was good practice for Clutch King. When Clutch King looked at the attributes, he was shocked. “Damn, this is my first time seeing a silver treasure chest. Can I open it?”
Li Yi stopped him and said, “Let’s take care of these two monsters first, one each! Whoever becomes the first to defeat their monsters will open the treasure chest!”
Clutch King immediately raised his hand in protest. “This isn’t fair! Your equipment is so awesome, how can I be faster than you?”
“Critical Hit!”
Li Yi ignored his protests and released an attack that dealt a terrifying amount of damage.
“-41,230!”
This instantly killed the monster he chose to attack.
After he killed the monster, Li Yi said, “I’ll leave the remaining one to you, I’m going to open the treasure chest!”
“Damn! I hope you open an empty treasure chest!” Clutch King went and begrudgingly fought the other monster one-on-one..
