32: Chapter 32: Slay the Boss and Recruit Henchmen
"Sigh!"
Yun Xingxiao let out a sigh.
She knew clearly in her heart that even Liu Yibo, who was the Chief Examiner, had died tragically in the Swamp Wetlands. This incident had escalated beyond what the examiners could handle.
"What is the situation in the dungeon now?"
"We don't know."
"The number of casualties?"
"We don't know."
"..."
"Damn it, just tell me, what do you know?!"
Yun Xingxiao really couldn't stand this group of examiners and couldn't help but swear.
An examiner surnamed Yun quickly replied, "Xingxiao, it's like this. As the dungeon entrance closed, the communication equipment we set up earlier lost its signal. So, we don't know the situation inside right now."
"Fortunately, an oddity like Li Youqian appeared in this year's assessment. By buying points, he caused many people to be eliminated early. Therefore, the remaining number of people in the dungeon is less than 600."
"However..."
"However what?" Yun Xingxiao frowned.
The Yun-surnamed examiner scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly, "However, the remaining five hundred-plus people are all elites of the Five Cities. The descendants of the Wang, Li, Zhang, and Liu families are all inside the dungeon."
Yun Xingxiao: "..."
This conversation really couldn't continue.
"Have you notified Great God Ye of the Imperial Mausoleum?" Yun Xingxiao asked, holding onto the last shred of hope.
"Yes." The Yun-surnamed examiner sighed with a bitter face, "The Imperial Mausoleum replied that Great God Ye started playing his 'running away from home' game again a month ago, and he can't be contacted at all."
Yun Xingxiao clutched her heart and said with a choked voice, "Then doesn't that mean the dungeon will only open once the people inside kill the Silver Boss, or the monsters kill all the survivors?"
The Yun-surnamed examiner nodded in response and then sighed softly, "It's too difficult for a bronze-level to kill a Silver Boss. Historically, no one has ever done it except for Great God Ye."
As soon as these words were spoken, the examiners were instantly silenced.
Indeed.
That was a powerful Silver Boss, not something that could be defeated by numbers alone. I'm afraid the outcome of this beast tide...
Yun Xingxiao shook her head and said, "Prepare to collect the bodies. Notify the major families in advance to wait at the dungeon gate."
"Yes!"
...
...
The scene shifted.
Inside the Spider Cave dungeon.
Liu Lin looked at the tens of thousands of little spiders in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh... At a time like this, I actually miss that fat guy Li Youqian. If he were here, these Level 1 monsters would be killed in seconds!"
Seeing that the little spiders were about to reach the backline, Li Mumu didn't care about anything else and directly activated his skills for one last gamble.
"First Pet Skill: Heaven and Earth Shattering!"
"First Class Skill: Demon Subduing Staff Technique!"
Both control skills were placed on the Boss.
Tactical control!!!
Then, Li Mumu seized the opportunity, turned around, and released a move unique to Qigong Masters toward the swarm of little spiders.
"Qi Sea!"
Releases a large amount of Nen Qi for intimidation, pressure, and to knock enemies unconscious. Those much weaker than oneself are directly knocked unconscious, while those similar in strength experience the pressure effect.
Unconscious: Stuns the target to achieve a control effect + weakens the opponent's attributes by 40%. The duration is related to Spirit power.
Pressure: Reduces the target's movement speed and attack speed + reduces the opponent's damage by 40%. The duration is related to Spirit power.
Bang!
A golden Qi Sea swept out in all directions. The moment the little spiders came into contact, they foamed at the mouth and fainted.
At the same time.
The Crypt Lord was affected by the pressure, reducing its damage by 40%.
Meanwhile, Li Mumu rose to bronze Level 8.
"Everyone, seize the opportunity and kill this bastard!!!"
"Alright!"
"First Class Skill: Firebird Strike!"
"First Class Skill: Arrow Shadow!"
"First Pet Skill: Searing Fireline!"
"Enchantment!"
"..."
Spells were cast continuously with seamless cooperation.
Ten minutes later, finally...
The Silver Boss, Crypt Lord, who had been arrogant and overbearing just a moment ago, began to teeter and stumble toward the landing spot of the golden treasure chest.
"Child, my... my child..."
Before it could finish its sentence.
Thud!
A flash of light passed, the Crypt Lord died, and the ordinary monsters regained their sanity and retreated.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the Silver Boss, Crypt Lord. Your level has risen to Silver Level 1. You have accumulated a total of 3 bronze Gacha draws and 1 Silver Gacha draw.]
[Ding! Host has upgraded to Silver, unlocking the talent skill: Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils.]
[Ding! Host's first kill of a Silver Boss, extra reward of 1 Silver Gacha draw.]
Silence!
The scene was pin-drop silent!
The Professionals watched the scene before them, dumbfounded.
The Silver Boss is dead?
Killed by a group of us bronze-level Professionals?
This isn't a dream, is it?!
After a long while.
Tang Baihu rubbed his eyes, looking at the Crypt Lord lying motionless on the ground, and finally couldn't help but exclaim, "Incredible! Li Mumu, you are truly incredibly awesome."
Zhu Xiaoshan shook his head, his hands clutching his hair in shock, "In my life, I've never respected any peer, but Li Mumu, you are the first man I've ever respected."
"More than that! If I were a woman, I'd definitely kiss you to death."
"Exactly, seeing Li Mumu, I finally understand how those men turn gay. He's just too damn handsome."
Wen Zhenming and Zhou Wenbing hugged Li Mumu's neck, moved to tears.
After the four spoke, they, along with Liu Lin, threw Li Mumu into the air and caught him, repeating this many times to celebrate.
"Li Mumu!"
"Li Mumu!"
"Life-saver!"
"Handsome guy!"
"..."
Seeing this, even the usually expressionless Dongfang Xue shed tears.
"It's good to be alive!"
Having said that, she and the equally excited Wang Baobao hugged each other and wept.
Boohoo... it was too hard!
"Boss, from now on, you are the big brother of our Four Great Talents of Jiangnan. Please accept this bow from your younger brothers."
After the Four Great Talents put Li Mumu down, they immediately knelt on one knee to perform the brother-recognition ceremony.
Seeing this, Li Mumu quickly helped the four up and said, "You mustn't. Killing the Boss was everyone's credit..."
"No!"
Tang Baihu said sternly, "Brother Li, you need not say more. Once the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan have decided on something, we never go back on it."
Li Mumu: "..."
What's the situation?
While fighting, I somehow recruited four underlings?
Whatever.
If they want to acknowledge me, then let them.
Next, Li Mumu came to the Boss's side and crouched down to take the monster core, while the others cleared the battlefield and picked up the equipment and items dropped by the Boss.
With a swift stroke of his blade, the monster core was removed and fed to the Little Fragrant Pig.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, killing the Silver Boss Crypt Lord. The system is issuing the corresponding rewards.]
[Ding! Little Fragrant Pig has upgraded to Silver, unlocking the skill: Sit on You to Death.]
[Ding! Ten Eight-fold Experience Stones.]
[Ding! Two thousand Blood Pills.]
[Ding! Two thousand Spirit Medicines.]
Blood Pills and Spirit Medicines are tonic medicines taken by Professionals at the Silver level, which can quickly replenish health and spirit.
Note: Low-level Professionals cannot take high-level tonics; otherwise, they will be unable to withstand the medicinal power and explode.
OK.
After hearing the series of rewards issued by the system, Li Mumu beamed with joy, planning to study them properly after returning home.
But now.
There was something even more important: the items dropped by the Silver Boss.
La la la...
Leveling up, fighting monsters, and getting loot.
So looking forward to it!!!
