45: Your novice assessment ended early.

“Roar!”

A dragon's roar shook the mountain forest.

The red giant dragon roared continuously, spewing scorching Dragon Breath from its mouth.

The surrounding land turned to scorched earth, and plants burned.

At this moment, this red giant dragon was being besieged by thousands of Troops.

Each of its Dragon Breaths would take the lives of several Troops.

Li Feng stood in the “hot air balloon,” holding a telescope and scanning below.

He had bought this telescope for 3 gold coins from another Lord.

This was no ordinary telescope; it could see the veins of leaves from a thousand meters away.

Through the telescope, his gaze pierced through space, clearly seeing everything below at a glance.

Not far from the battlefield below, several figures stood, each watching the battle ahead with both tension and anticipation.

“Oh, it’s them.”

Li Feng let out a soft exclamation, a little surprised.

He knew those figures.

They were his classmates from his first year of high school.

The leader was Wang Chen, who had awakened the Tier 5 Troops, Wyvern.

Among the Troops besieging the World BOSS, there were indeed dozens of Wyverns.

They withstood most of the World BOSS's attacks, which prevented heavy losses among the lower-tier Troops behind them.

“Should I snatch it?”

Li Feng murmured to himself.

If it were other Lords, he wouldn't even think twice; he'd just snatch it.

But Wang Chen and the others were from the same school as him, even the same class.

With this connection, Li Feng genuinely felt a bit awkward about forcibly taking it.

“Forget it, let me ask if they need help.”

Thinking this, Li Feng decisively had Buzzwole carry him to land in front of Wang Chen and the others.

“Who!”

Seeing a swarm of Troops suddenly appear, Wang Chen and the others instantly became tense.

But then they immediately saw Beedrill.

Others might not feel anything seeing Beedrill.

But for them, the meaning represented might be different.

Sure enough, under their gaze, they quickly discovered Li Feng standing on the “hot air balloon.”

“Li Feng, it really is you.”

Aside from Wang Chen, the other few people showed surprised expressions, then smiled and stepped forward.

They were not on guard against their classmates.

In this dog-eat-dog world, these classmates were naturally on the same side.

“Zhou Ping, Zhang Xu…”

Li Feng also nodded, greeting his classmates.

Although they had only been classmates for a few months and their relationship wasn't very close, it wasn't overly unfamiliar either.

“You never spoke in the group chat, so you were quietly making a fortune, huh? These are Buzzwole Troops, right? I remember they're Tier 4 Troops. You’re good, how did you get so many Buzzwole?”

The few people looked at Buzzwole, their faces showing surprise.

“Li Feng, you must have joined a strong individual to survive, after all, you only awakened Beedrill Troops.”

Before Li Feng could answer, Wang Chen spoke first.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the scene visibly stiffened.

“Haha, Li Feng, don’t mind Wang Chen. He didn’t mean it; he’s just a straightforward person.”

The young man named Zhang Xu quickly came out to smooth things over.

“Am I not stating a fact? Beedrill are widely recognized as useless Troops. If he hadn’t joined a strong individual, how could he have survived until today? And these Buzzwole are probably that strong individual’s Troops too, right?”

Towards the end, Wang Chen couldn't help but puff out his chest.

He deliberately said that Buzzwole were the strong individual's Troops to highlight himself.

Wyvern are Tier 5 Troops, and top-tier Tier 5 Troops at that, so he was a strong individual, not just an ordinary one.

“Wang Chen, we’re all classmates, why make it so awkward?”

Someone tugged on Wang Chen's sleeve.

Li Feng glanced at Wang Chen, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

When they were studying before, although Wang Chen and he weren't very close, their interactions were always harmonious.

Why had his attitude suddenly done a 180-degree turn now?

Although puzzled, Li Feng didn't take it to heart.

If nothing unexpected happened, their interactions would become fewer and fewer, eventually becoming strangers.

He had no need to care about a stranger.

“I came to ask if you need any help.”

Li Feng looked at Zhang Xu and asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xu and the others immediately showed joy.

They didn't care whether Buzzwole were Li Feng's Troops or not.

They only knew that Li Feng had brought hundreds of Buzzwole with him, and these were all Tier 4 Troops, a powerful fighting force.

Just as Zhang Xu was about to open his mouth to express his gratitude, Wang Chen's untimely voice rang out.

“No, we won’t trouble you.”

Wang Chen flatly rejected Li Feng.

This made the words on Zhang Xu's lips freeze.

He really wanted to curse out loud.

With free help, what are you being so arrogant about?

If Li Feng's Buzzwole helped, their Troops would suffer far fewer losses.

This was crucial for their future development.

Hearing this, Li Feng nodded gently.

He had already taken the First Kill of a World BOSS, so he wasn't particularly concerned about the World BOSS.

Otherwise, he wouldn't care whether Wang Chen and the others needed help or not.

As a five-star good citizen, he didn't need to care about other people's opinions.

Li Feng glanced at the World BOSS; it was just an ordinary-level World BOSS.

Besieged by Wang Chen and the others, it was doomed to die.

Just as Li Feng was about to leave, a rumbling sound of footsteps echoed.

Immediately after, a large group of Lords appeared.

Around them, there were dense crowds of Troops.

Roughly counted, there were at least ten thousand.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen and the others' expressions changed drastically, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Only Li Feng remained calm.

He swept a glance and saw some familiar faces in the crowd.

It was Pang Tao and the others who had previously blocked him from entering the dungeon in the canyon.

There were five leaders in total, each surrounded by Tier 6 Troops, exuding a powerful aura.

King Kong Gorilla, White Jade Ape, Mammoth Giant Elephant, Golden Serpent, Hellhound.

In addition, there were various other Troops, totaling over ten thousand!

“Li Feng, your novice assessment has ended early.”

On the Mammoth Giant Elephant, the burly Wang Yang shouted loudly and arrogantly at Wang Chen…
