Chapter 4: Chaos in the Beginner Village! First Boss Kill Shocks the Entire Server

The Novice Village was right before their eyes.

A rustic village was enclosed by high walls, and countless players were gathered at the entrance, with shouting and cursing rising one after another.

"Move aside! Brothers of the Longteng Guild enter the village first!"

"On what grounds? Our Cangqiong Guild has more people!"

"Fight then! Who's afraid of whom!"

Players from the two major guilds were in a fierce standoff at the village entrance, with weapons drawn and a bloody battle ready to erupt at any moment.

Lin Feng watched all this with cold eyes, then tugged on the girl's sleeve. "Follow me, we'll circle around through the back."

The two quietly climbed over the village wall and landed in the back alley.

"How... how did you know there were no guards at the back wall?" the girl asked in surprise.

"Simple." Lin Feng pointed at the map. "The village entrance is the only way in, so everyone is crowding there to fight for entry, leaving the back wall unguarded. This is a blind spot in their thinking."

The girl's eyes were full of admiration. "You're so smart."

"Let's go, let's pick up quests first."

Lin Feng brought her to the plaza in the center of the village, which was even more chaotic. Dozens of players were surrounding the only NPC quest giver, arguing over who would get the quests.

"Get lost! This hidden quest belongs to our guild!"

"First come, first served, don't you understand?"

Lin Feng stood on the periphery of the crowd, his gaze sweeping over all the quest panels.

[Common Quest: Collect 10 Wolf Fangs, Reward: Green Wristguards × 1]

[Common Quest: Defeat 5 Magic Bears, Reward: 500 Experience Points]

[Common Quest: Gather 10 Herbs, Reward: Health Potion × 3]

[...]

They were all common quests with mediocre rewards.

"Are there no hidden quests?" Lin Feng frowned.

Suddenly, his Hunters Eye activated automatically, locking onto an inconspicuous old man in the corner of the plaza.

The old man was dressed in rags and huddled in the shadows; other players had not noticed him at all.

[Discovered Hidden NPC: Mysterious Wanderer]

[Can Trigger Hidden Quest: Forgotten Legend]

[Prerequisite: Possess Wolf King Heritage]

"Found you." Lin Feng's lips curled into a smile.

He brought her over to the old man. "Old man, I found this in the cave."

He took the Magic Wolf King's silver eye mask out of his backpack.

The old man suddenly raised his head, his cloudy eyes suddenly shining with brilliance. "You... you defeated it?"

"Yes."

"Good! Good! Good!" The old man trembled with excitement. "I have waited too long, finally someone can complete this quest!"

[Triggered Hidden Quest: Forgotten Legend]

[Quest Objective: Go to the Abyss Rift and retrieve the lost blade]

[Quest Reward: Orange Quality Weapon × 1, Special Skill Book × 1, 5,000 Gold Coins]

[Quest Difficulty: Extremely High]

"Abyss Rift?" Lin Feng paused. "What kind of place is that?"

The old man sighed. "That is the most dangerous area in the game, and also the only place where the lost blade can be retrieved. Many players have gone in and never come back out."

"I don't care about danger." Lin Feng tightened his grip on his Hunting Bow. "As long as the reward is generous enough, I dare to take on any quest."

"Hahaha!" The old man laughed three times. "Young man, you have courage! Only you can complete this quest!"

He handed Lin Feng a map. "This is the entrance to the Abyss Rift. Remember, there are no players inside, only monsters."

[Obtained Item: Abyss Rift Map (Special)]

Lin Feng put away the map and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a commotion in the plaza.

"Look! A BOSS has appeared!"

"It's the Shadow Wolf King!"

"So many people! Hurry and join the battle!"

He turned his head to look and saw a massive black wolf king rampaging in the center of the plaza, with hundreds of players gathered around it, furiously attacking.

[Discovered World BOSS: Shadow Wolf King (Lv.25)]

[HP: 50,000 / 50,000]

[Weakness: Left Eye, Heart]

[First Kill Reward: Server-wide Announcement, Orange Equipment × 1, 10,000 Gold Coins]

"World BOSS?" Lin Feng's pupils constricted.

This was the very first World BOSS since the server opened, and the First Kill reward would definitely be top-tier equipment!

"Are you going?" the girl asked nervously.

"Of course." A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. "How could I miss such a good opportunity."

He drew his Hunting Bow and rushed toward the BOSS.

"Wait... wait for me!" the girl hurriedly followed.

In the plaza, hundreds of players were besieging the Shadow Wolf King, but the results were dismal. The BOSS's attacks were too strong; every roar could stun a dozen players, and its HP had barely dropped.

"Damage output isn't enough! Mages, focus your fire!"

"Don't get greedy with damage! Watch your positioning!"

The Longteng Guild leader, wielding a blue greatsword, was commanding the battle. "Brothers, output everything you've got! The First Kill is ours!"

Just then, Lin Feng rushed into the fray.

He activated Hunters Eye, and the Shadow Wolf King's weak points were immediately displayed—the left eye and the heart.

"Wild Rage!"

Lin Feng let out a low shout, and his full strength erupted instantly.

He half-crouched, nocked an arrow, and aimed; all his movements were fluid and completed in one go.

"Whoosh—"

The feathered arrow flew out like a shooting star, accurately striking the Shadow Wolf King's left eye!

[Critical Hit! Dealt 1,500 damage]

[Weakness Critical Hit! Damage doubled, dealing a total of 3,000 damage!]

The entire scene instantly went quiet.

Everyone looked at Lin Feng in disbelief; that unknown little player had actually dealt 3,000 critical damage with a single arrow!

"This... how is this possible?!" the Longteng Guild leader's eyes widened.

The Shadow Wolf King let out a shrill howl, and blood gushed from its left eye.

"Keep attacking!" Lin Feng didn't give the BOSS a chance to catch its breath, firing three consecutive arrows that all struck its heart.

[Weakness Critical Hit! × 3]

[Dealt a total of 9,000 damage!]

The Shadow Wolf King's HP plummeted like a waterfall, dropping from 50,000 to 35,000, then to 20,000, and finally, only 10,000 remained!

"Quick! It's almost finished!" Players launched a frantic assault, with all kinds of skills flying everywhere.

But Lin Feng did not stop. Moving while shooting with precision, every one of his arrows hit a weak point.

The final arrow was shot fiercely into the Shadow Wolf King's heart.

[Critical Hit! Dealt 2,500 damage]

[Shadow Wolf King HP: 0 / 50,000]

The massive wolf corpse collapsed with a boom, kicking up a cloud of dust.

[Congratulations to player Lin Feng for the First Kill of the World BOSS, the Shadow Wolf King!]

[Server-wide Announcement!]

[Obtained Reward: Orange Weapon · Shadow Blade × 1, 10,000 Gold Coins, Special Title · Wolf King Slayer]

[Level increased to Lv.3]

[Obtained Skill: Shadow Step (Purple)]

The entire scene fell into dead silence once again.

Everyone was looking at the thin figure standing before the wolf corpse, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

First Kill... of a World BOSS?

And having dealt the highest damage single-handedly?

"What... what kind of monster is this..." the Longteng Guild leader's face was ashen, and he could barely hold onto the greatsword in his hand.

Lin Feng bent down to pick up the Shadow Blade, his lips curling into a cold smirk.

"World BOSS? Nothing special."

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over all the players present.

"From today on, in the Abyss Game, I call the shots."
