48: Chapter 48 The Crimson Moon Demon

"Calm down... calm down a bit..."

"You're ranked number one on the combat power leaderboard, after all. You need to learn to keep your composure even if Mount Tai crumbles before you and maintain your image as an expert."

"It's just a mere BOSS, is it worth being scared like this?"

"Do you not care about your reputation anymore?"

Watching Ye Weiyang, who looked like a walking meme from being scared, Lin Feng remained calm and composed.

Ye Weiyang gave an awkward smile: "Uh... Brother Feng... you're right. I'll be more careful next time..."

"Tell me... what's the situation inside?" Lin Feng stood with one hand behind his back, his expression relaxed and indifferent, looking every bit the expert!

"The situation is like this. I just stepped into the third floor, and before I'd even walked two steps, a ground spike suddenly shot out from the ground to stab me."

"I barely managed to see what the BOSS looked like before my HP dropped by more than half. If it weren't for my set's life-saving skill, I would have died on the spot." Ye Weiyang was almost crying.

"Oh?"

"That impressive?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng realized that the BOSS on the third floor was not simple.

Being able to cripple a Knight equipped with top-tier gear in just a few hits meant this was definitely the ultimate BOSS of this map. Its grade and level would not be low.

However, wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

BOSS = Gear

Super BOSS = Top-tier gear + Rare materials + Large amounts of gold...

Thinking of this, Lin Feng was instantly overjoyed, his heart pounding "thump, thump".

The Goddess of Luck was truly favoring him. Seeing that he hadn't gained anything all day, she immediately arranged a big BOSS for him.

As for whether he could beat it...

That was completely outside his consideration.

"You stay here and heal up to full HP. I'll go in and take a look at what's going on!"

Without waiting for Ye Weiyang to stop him, Lin Feng moved with speed, activated Stealth, and entered the third-floor entrance.

As soon as he stepped into the third floor, a foul stench hit him. The space inside was very small.

The system indicated that this map was called the "Red Moon Demon Cave."

The map was covered in green slime and countless tiny caterpillars, the atmosphere eerie and terrifying.

Just as he looked ahead, even someone as calm and composed as him couldn't help but gasp.

In the center of the cave, a huge monster without a head or limbs was embedded in the rock.

Its surface was covered with dense pustules and holes, countless tiny flesh tentacles wriggling crazily on the rotten flesh like maggots, and a pair of long eyes exposed, instantly making one's scalp tingle.

[Red Moon Demon] (Silver-grade Perfect BOSS)

Level: ???

Attack: ???

Defense: ???

HP: ???

Skills: ???

Introduction: The ultimate master of the Red Moon Demon Cave, one of the supreme beings of the three great Marfa eras, an evil existence formed by countless wandering souls and demonic energy. Its body cannot move, but it can launch attacks across the entire map with no blind spots. It has resided in the deepest part of the Demon Cave for years. It is said that killing it will grant access to the infinite treasures left behind by the Marfa era.

...

Infinite treasures?

Seeing the words "infinite treasures" in the introduction, Lin Feng's eyes instantly lit up, and he almost drooled.

Wait...

And there's also a damn full-screen attack?

Then aren't I in great danger right now?

Oh... Stealth is still active, so it should be fine!

Just as Lin Feng was feeling lucky, a sharp spike protruded from beneath his feet. He had no time to react.

"Puchi"

"- 1725"

A sharp pain shot up from his lower body, his HP bar instantly vanished, leaving only ten HP...

"Damn it, I forgot that high-level BOSSes come with anti-Stealth," Lin Feng's face turned black with fear.

Not daring to stay for even a second, he took advantage of the BOSS's attack interval and retreated madly toward the third-floor exit.

In an instant, Lin Feng scrambled out of the third-floor entrance in a sorry state, stumbling and collapsing onto the floor of the second level.

Everything that happened before and after he went in took less than two seconds...

Ye Weiyang was startled and asked in surprise: "Brother Feng! Why are you so fast too?"

"Uh... I was careless. This BOSS counters me a bit." Lin Feng's expression was extremely grave.

Hearing this, Ye Weiyang immediately revealed a mischievous smile and said: "Hehe... Brother Feng, why I was like that earlier... you understand now, right?"

"Fine, I blamed you wrongly earlier. My bad..."

Lin Feng rolled his eyes, too exhausted to argue anymore.

"So what do we do now?" Ye Weiyang asked.

"This BOSS is indeed difficult. Its main body can't move, but it can cover the entire area with attacks. Conventional tactics definitely won't work."

Speaking of this, Lin Feng's eyes shifted, and he looked up and down at the sturdy lackey beside him.

The corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly.

Ye Weiyang instantly felt a chill run down his back. He subconsciously took a few steps back and asked guardedly: "Brother Feng, you... what are you trying to do?"

"Uh—don't be nervous, I just wanted to ask if you 'want to die?'"

For a moment, the atmosphere was very strange!

"I—I—"

Ye Weiyang stammered for a long time, unable to think of how to answer.

"Damn... is it that hard to answer?"

"Can I say... I don't want to?"

"Oh... no~"

"Damn it... since it's not an option, why bother asking me? Just tell me how you want me to die..."

Ye Weiyang looked dejected, instantly feeling like there was no reason to live.

"Very good... since you've already decided, I won't stop you." Lin Feng looked at him with a heavy expression: "There is only one way to kill the BOSS."

"?..." Ye Weiyang looked confused. How did it become about killing the BOSS again?

"It relies on your SS-rank talent, Infinite Resurrection + Taunt to withstand the damage and hold the aggro tightly. If we both output damage at the same time, perhaps we have a chance to kill it..."

"That's it?"

Ye Weiyang was speechless on the spot, staring at him with a deadpan expression.

So after all that, it was just letting the game character die...

Just say it clearly.

What does it matter if a game character dies?

It made him nervous for so long, he even thought about his funeral arrangements.

Damn it.

"What do you mean 'that's it'? You've got some nerve, kid... Do you understand that you'll have to die many times using your passive?" Lin Feng couldn't help but retort.

"Brother Feng, I understand now!"

"Isn't it just dying? I'm least afraid of death!"

Lin Feng was dumbfounded.

Not so fast, buddy, you weren't like this just a moment ago.

Why are you suddenly so brave?

However, out of humanitarianism, Lin Feng solemnly patted him on the shoulder and said: "Good brother, I really didn't misjudge you."

"Your EXP can trigger 9 instant revives, and we need to take down the BOSS during that time."

"We only have this one chance. If it's not enough to kill the BOSS, then we'll have to give up."

Ye Weiyang took a deep breath, a smile appearing in his eyes: "Brother Feng, say no more, I understand..."

"Let's do it!"

"No retreat until death."

Lin Feng looked at this brother before him, and a warm current suddenly welled up in his heart.

The once naive lad, now risking his life to fight the ultimate king...

No need for further words.

He nodded heavily.

"Go! I'll be right behind you..."
