The boss came, and then died.

"Finally leveled up. It took over half an hour just to gain one level; this is too slow."

After reaching level two, Lin Yuan's total attributes reached 90 points.

He casually added 40 attribute points to Strength, bringing his Strength to 130 points.

With 260 points of physical attack, he could kill a Kobold Scavenger with a single punch.

Level 2 A Li was even more exaggerated.

2000 points of HP and 400 points of Attack.

This was still without any equipment; putting on gear would definitely lead to a qualitative improvement.

A Summoned Beast can also wear equipment, but A Li only had two equipment slots currently.

To expand the equipment slots, one could only increase the bloodline level.

Once it becomes a Tenth-Order Holy Spirit, it will be able to wear ten pieces of equipment just like Professionals.

After simply cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Yuan continued moving forward.

The nearby Kobolds had all been cleared, so Lin Yuan simply moved forward at full speed.

Soon, he arrived at the central area of the Golden Tooth Ruins.

The environment in the central area was very different from the outskirts.

It seemed to have suffered a massive explosion here.

The ground was pitted and uneven, and there was a lingering smell of gunpowder in the air; it was completely unsuitable for living.

"Brother Lin, we have entered the central part of the Golden Tooth Ruins."

"The guide mentions that there are many landmines buried in the ground around here. The detonation time for the landmines is 3 seconds, and the radius is 3 meters. If you accidentally step on one, you must escape as quickly as possible."

Sun Xu had spent late last night memorizing the guide, and he was clear about all the precautions.

Lin Yuan had only focused on upgrading his Summoned Beast yesterday and hadn't read a single word of the guide.

This was actually quite good; it saved him the trouble.

Appearing before Lin Yuan was a path nearly two kilometers long; it was the only way to reach the final BOSS, Golden Tooth.

There were no monsters, but quite a few landmines were buried underground.

"A Li, scout the path ahead."

It would be a pity not to have a tank like A Li scout the path.

A Li responded and moved, walking very slowly, intending to clear the mines with his body.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep!"

He triggered a landmine, but A Li moved quickly, instantly leaving the explosion radius.

Bang!

The ground was blown into a pit nearly half a meter deep.

If one didn't dodge that, it would probably blast away more than half of a normal Professional's HP.

It took five minutes for A Li to walk through the entire surrounding area.

Not more, not less, exactly 50 landmines.

It was only because A Li had high Agility and fast reaction speed; anyone else would have been blown up countless times by now.

"A Li, well done."

Lin Yuan was just about to leave when he suddenly heard a roar.

"Damn it, which blind idiot triggered all the landmines I laid!"

The voice was filled with exasperation and approached from afar.

With a rumbling sound, a Kobold riding a steam-powered motorcycle appeared before Lin Yuan.

【Mine Layer Lami】 (Leader)

【Level: LV5】

【HP: 5000】

【Attack: 120】

【Defense: 50】

【Skill 1 (Mine Laying): Lami will throw three landmines at the target, each dealing 100 points of magic damage (Cooldown: 10 seconds)】

【Skill 2 (Double Shot): Lami draws a gunpowder gun and fires two shots at the target, dealing 150 points of physical damage and knocking the target back】

As soon as Lami appeared, he threw three landmines at A Li.

Sneak attacks were a Kobold's specialty.

The three landmines hit A Li, and Lami immediately pulled a large-caliber gunpowder gun from his back and fired two shots at A Li.

"Go to hell, scum."

-100, -100, -100, -0

The three grenades dealt 300 points of damage to A Li; the gunpowder gun didn't break through his defense, but it caused a knockback effect.

"Damn."

"Actually pulling a sneak attack!"

Lin Yuan was furious. "A Li, take him down for me."

Without needing Lin Yuan's reminder, A Li reached the Kobold in two steps.

Starting with Cleave,

-5250

A single Cleave instantly killed the BOSS.

+230

??????

Sun Xu had expected the battle to last a while, and he was inwardly shouting that he finally had a chance to be useful.

But before his healing spell could even be cast, the battle was over.

Is this reasonable?

【Killed Mine Layer Lami (LV5), Experience increased by 800】

The BOSS gave a huge amount of experience, and Lin Yuan was only 180 experience points away from reaching level 3.

Furthermore, this BOSS dropped a skill book and two pieces of equipment.

【Backstep】 (D-rank)

Skill Description: Consumes 20 Mana points to jump a distance backward (Cooldown: 3 seconds)

【Commoner Tech Helmet】

【Grade: Bronze】

【Required Level: LV3】

【Attributes: Strength +5, Stamina +10】

It was a decent piece of armor, but the level requirement wasn't met, so he put it away for now.

The second piece of equipment was a bit lacking.

【Old-fashioned Gunpowder Gun】

【Grade: Black Iron】

【Required Level: LV2】

【Attributes: Attack +15, Attack Speed 2S/time】

Better than nothing; besides, Lin Yuan didn't have a weapon right now, so he might as well carry it for now.

After counting the loot, Lin Yuan listened to Sun Xu muttering beside him.

"This shouldn't be; why would a BOSS appear here?"

Sun Xu had read the guide over a dozen times, and he could be 100% sure that a BOSS would absolutely not appear here.

Yet it just happened to appear.

Not only did it appear, but it was also instantly killed.

It really lost face for a BOSS.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Yuan patted Sun Xu on the shoulder. "There are no more landmines ahead, let's go."

Hearing this, Sun Xu's eyes lit up. "I've figured it out."

"I've figured out why a BOSS appeared here."

"Because your Summoned Beast triggered all the landmines, that's why the BOSS appeared."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment; come to think of it, that actually seemed to be the case.

The truth was roughly the same as what Sun Xu had guessed.

Mine Layer Lami was a trigger-type BOSS; as long as Professionals triggered all 50 nearby landmines, the BOSS would appear.

It's just that no team had ever done this before.

One landmine could deal 100 points of magic damage, and the explosion radius was 3 meters; a slight carelessness would lead to being injured.

Being blown up once or twice was fine, but if it happened too many times, the team's healer would definitely run out of Mana.

There was still a final BOSS waiting ahead, so even if they knew how to trigger the BOSS, no team was willing to do so.

The key was that this BOSS was very annoying.

The moment it appeared, it would sneak attack the closest target.

If the target being attacked was a tank, it was fine; they wouldn't be instantly killed. If it was a DPS or healer,

the BOSS would definitely take one person out with its skill combo.

After figuring it out, Sun Xu was about to leave when his gaze was suddenly attracted by a steam-powered motorcycle.

"Hey, Brother Lin, the BOSS's motorcycle."

"Didn't you complain that pulling monsters was slow? How about we use the motorcycle to pull monsters?"

"That's a good idea." Lin Yuan walked up to the motorcycle and straddled it.

It could actually be ridden!
