Chapter 70 Everyone's Carrying the Flight

"Boss Yi Meng, this is the Seer from our Supernatural Research Institute. Her game ID is Potato Grown on Potatoes, and she is also a primary director of our guild."

By the time Netherworld Pardon arrived at the Arctic coast with his team, he found that someone had already beaten them to it!

Just as Netherworld Pardon was about to speak, he realized the person who had arrived first was none other than Xu Xu Ru Sheng, who hadn't replied in the group chat.

It was their Guild Leader!

Well, well! The Guild Leader stays silent in the group chat just so he can wait for the big boss here? Truly sneaky and suspicious behavior!!

An aggressive Netherworld Pardon rolled up his sleeves and walked forward. Before he could even open his mouth, Xu Xu Ru Sheng, seeing him approach, greeted him enthusiastically!

"Netherworld, you're here too."

Netherworld Pardon: "Heh, hehe."

"What a coincidence. We encountered a six-star ultra-high-level Mutated Nian Beast and bumped into Boss Yi Meng. We were just worrying about being one person short, and then you arrived. Perfect."

The words he had intended to say got stuck in his throat. Netherworld Pardon looked at his Guild Leader and then at Lin Xi Yi Meng, thinking to himself that the Guild Leader was quite unethical. He didn't even notify the group after meeting the boss. Was it really just because they were short one person?

In that case...

"Sure, count me in!" Netherworld Pardon chose to join without hesitation.

Are you kidding? How could he miss the first kill announcement for a six-star Mutated Nian Beast? Just thinking about it made him a little excited.

Seeing this, Xu Xu Ru Sheng looked at Boss Yi Meng, who was standing at the very front. After getting a nod from Lin Xi Yi Meng, he introduced the team members for this raid.

"Let me introduce her. This is Potato Grown on Potatoes, the Seer of our guild and the institute. Her crystal ball and cards are very powerful."

"Crystal ball and cards?" Netherworld Pardon thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Why isn't it a compass or tortoise shells?"

This was the first time Netherworld Pardon had met Chi Tudou; he had only heard of her before but had never seen her.

Hearing this, Lin Xi also turned her head to look at Xu Rusheng and Chi Tudou, feeling somewhat curious as well.

Noticing their gazes, Xu Rusheng sighed somewhat helplessly. "Sigh, it's not that we don't want to. To be honest, those things... the traditions have been lost."

"However, Divination techniques are mostly the same. They all involve using a medium to trigger foresight. Crystal balls and cards are just another type of medium; they're all the same."

Lin Xi frowned at those words, feeling that this matter was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

When she arrived just now, she had followed the bad luck of that super-unlucky player, Dongfeng Huanye. By the time she got here, Xu Rusheng and that black-cloaked girl named Chi Tudou, who was holding a small colorful crystal ball, were already there.

Presumably, that girl Chi Tudou must have predicted it.

"So, the other one is..."

"Hello! I'm Dongfeng Ye Fang Hua Qian Shu. It's a pleasure to meet you, bosses!"

Dongfeng Ye Fang Hua Qian Shu happened to live by the sea. It was pure coincidence that she caught this wave of random six-star Mutated Nian Beast spawns. If Xu Xu Ru Sheng and the others hadn't arrived first, she probably would have logged off.

Thus, there were exactly six people, just enough to meet the requirements to engage this six-star Mutated Nian Beast.

"Boss Yi Meng, do we really... not need more people?" Xu Xu Ru Sheng asked with some concern. Although he had absolute confidence in Yi Meng, this was a six-star Mutated Nian Beast. There was no prior data on this creature. If they encountered danger, would six people be too few?

"It's enough." Lin Xi waved her hand. "If we can't handle it, it won't matter how many more people go in."

In reality, Lin Xi wanted to say that more people would just be a hassle. It would be harder to find a chance to use her modifier then. Fewer people was better!

But on the surface, she still had to say some polite words.

As for what those words meant to others, that was none of her business.

Hearing this, Xu Rusheng hesitated for a moment before nodding. At the same time, Boss Yi Meng's image grew even taller in his heart!

Boss Yi Meng is so noble! She's doing this to protect other players in the Dragon Kingdom and prevent them from going in just to die!

Thinking about it, if it were the Eagle Nation or the Sakura Nation, they definitely wouldn't let go of this chance to test the waters. They would surely want as many people as possible to go in, preferably after gathering data. How could they be like Boss Yi Meng, sacrificing herself for the greater good?

Now that the game has descended and the apocalypse is approaching, there really aren't many bosses left with this kind of awareness!

It wasn't just Xu Rusheng; the other team members who heard Lin Xi's words were all moved to tears, completely forgetting that they were the ones about to enter the Mutated Nian Beast raid.

"Wuwuwu, to be able to enter a dungeon and kill a six-star Mutated Nian Beast with a boss like this, it's worth it even if I die!" Dongfeng Ye Fang Hua Qian Shu sobbed, her eyes full of tears.

Lin Xi: ...

Is this necessary? I just think more people are a hassle. Why are you all crying, being moved, and acting all reverent? What's going on?

Being stared at like that, Lin Xi turned back awkwardly. She then swiped her hand, leading the team toward the six-star Mutated Nian Beast resting on the water's surface. Simultaneously, a game confirmation interface popped up in front of the six of them.

[Do players 'Lin Xi Yi Meng', 'Dongfeng Huanye', 'Xu Xu Ru Sheng', 'Potato Grown on Potatoes', 'Netherworld Pardon', and 'Dongfeng Ye Fang Hua Qian Shu' wish to form a team to kill the six-star Mutated Nian Beast?]

Confirm!

As everyone clicked confirm, their vision went dark. When the light reappeared, the entire team was right in front of the six-star Mutated Nian Beast, staring into its hollow silver eyes, which were as large as silver moon discs.

"Th-this guy has cataracts?" Dongfeng Huanye swallowed and whispered, "That's too unlucky. Being a Mutated Nian Beast with cataracts and not being able to see clearly is just too..." pitiful.

Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Xi covered Dongfeng Huanye's mouth.

Good grief, thank goodness she didn't let her finish. This person's constitution was like it had been cursed; one wrong word and something unexpected would happen.

They were fighting a six-star Mutated Nian Beast, after all; she couldn't let her talk nonsense.

Gently patting Lin Xi's hand, Dongfeng Huanye signaled that she wouldn't speak recklessly again. Only then did Lin Xi slowly release her, not forgetting to warn, "Don't think too much, just keep your mind blank!"

"O-okay." Dongfeng Huanye nodded. Just like when they farmed Nian Beasts before, she stood obediently to the side, indicating she wouldn't interfere.

"What do we do now?" Facing a Mutated Nian Beast at such close range for the first time, right under its nose, Netherworld Pardon felt some lingering fear. He suppressed his trembling legs and tried to steady his shaking voice as he asked.

"What do we do?" Lin Xi glanced at the health bar the opponent displayed. Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands... one hundred million, one billion, two billion.

A mere two billion HP. Nothing to fear.

Or rather, as long as it was a Mutated Nian Beast with a health bar, there was nothing to fear. It was just a matter of spending a little more or less time.

"Go rest on the side, don't interfere with my attack!"

Xu Xu Ru Sheng, Netherworld Pardon, Potato Grown on Potatoes, Dongfeng Ye Fang Hua Qian Shu: So they were just here to make up the numbers, otherwise the mob wouldn't spawn! It's just two billion HP; the boss can solo it!

Is this what it feels like to be carried by a boss?

Love it, love it!
