15: Chapter 15 Wilderness Boss!

Lu Yin silently approached the source of the sound, hiding behind a dilapidated low wall to observe.

Not far away, three Professionals were besieging an unusually massive mountain boar.

They were clearly at a disadvantage, covered in wounds, and the situation was quite critical.

Lu Yin's gaze quickly swept over the Rampaging Mountain Boar King's data panel, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

He hadn't expected such good luck, to actually encounter a field BOSS.

Field BOSSes were extremely rare.

They generally appeared randomly and at varying levels.

Usually, when they appeared, they would be accompanied by a rare treasure chest that could yield special items.

[Rampaging Mountain Boar King (BOSS)]

[Level: 25]

[Strength: 50, Constitution: 520]

[Agility: 48, Spirit: 440]

[Skills: Tusk Thrust, War Stomp]

At this moment on the field, a young girl holding a staff shouted in panic; her mana had clearly hit rock bottom.

"Captain, I can't hold on anymore!"

The female warrior leading the group gritted her teeth and raised her shield to tank a charge from the giant mountain boar, her entire body being knocked back repeatedly.

"Captain!"

The female archer on the other side cried out. She gritted her teeth and hurriedly fired an arrow flickering with a cold light, accurately hitting the Mountain Boar King's left eye!

-15!

Damage numbers floated up, indicating a weak-point critical hit.

But unfortunately, her attack power was simply too low; to the Rampaging Mountain Boar King, it was no different from scratching an itch.

Instead, this strike caused the Rampaging Mountain Boar King's aggro to shift.

"Roar!"

The Mountain Boar King let out a deafening roar. It suddenly rushed in front of the archer, reared up on its hind legs, and then slammed its front hooves heavily onto the ground.

The warrior captain's face changed drastically: "It's War Stomp! Get out of the way!"

However, the female archer was already exhausted and had no time to dodge.

At this critical juncture, a black shadow arrived in an instant, blocking the front of the female archer.

Dark Sharp Claws!

The Dark Moon Wolf King let out a low growl. Its pitch-black claws tore through the air, colliding head-on with the Mountain Boar King's giant hooves!

Boom!

-7895!

A massive shockwave spread in all directions. The Rampaging Mountain Boar King let out a wail as its huge body fell backward!

"What?"

The three survivors cried out simultaneously, looking at the suddenly appearing pitch-black giant wolf in disbelief.

While they were in shock, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Arise."

Buzz!

Around the falling Rampaging Mountain Boar King, twenty pitch-black magic circles converged instantly!

In the center of the magic circles, twenty pitch-black figures crawled out like resurrected corpses!

-4657! -4682! -3985!

A series of astonishing damage numbers jumped frantically. The Mountain Boar King let out a shrill wail, and its health bar plummeted at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In just one short second, the BOSS that had been incredibly fierce just a moment ago turned into a corpse!

The three surviving Professionals watched this scene dumbfounded, unable to react at all.

[Ding! You have killed a Rampaging Mountain Boar King. Experience points increased by 500!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to Level 6!]

[Death Space capacity increased. Current: 22/6!]

[Ding! Obtained loot: Rampaging Greatsword!]

[Ding! Obtained Rare-grade soul of death x1!]

Lu Yin slowly stepped out from the shadows. His expression was indifferent as his gaze swept over the three surviving Professionals.

The Dark Moon Wolf King gave a low growl and crouched obediently at his feet.

Twenty Death Soldier of various forms stood quietly around him, emitting a heart-palpitating, oppressive aura.

The three surviving Professionals watched Lu Yin as he walked over slowly, their faces filled with shock and awe.

“Th-thank you for your help, Your Excellency.”

The female warrior was the first to react, hurriedly putting away her shield and bowing.

The armor on her body was severely damaged, revealing large patches of snow-white skin.

There were still bloodstains on her face, but her eyes were full of gratitude.

The other two also followed suit and bowed.

The female mage seemed still a bit shaken, her hand holding the staff trembling slightly.

The female archer stared blankly at Lu Yin, the scene of being saved at the critical moment just now still echoing in her mind.

“H-hello, thank you for saving our lives.”

Silence lasted for a few breaths before the female warrior spoke first.

“It was nothing.”

Lu Yin’s voice was calm, as if the feat of insta-killing the BOSS just now was merely a casual action.

Lu Yin’s gaze lingered briefly on the three of them before he continued.

“The loot belongs to me. Any objections?”

The female warrior shook her head quickly: “Of course! You killed the BOSS alone; the loot rightfully belongs to you.”

Lu Yin nodded slightly and then glanced at the equipment's attributes.

[Rampaging Greatsword (Weapon)]

[Equipment Quality: Silver Grade]

[Requirement: Lv15]

[Attack Power +25, Strength +50, Constitution +30]

[Effect: Attacks have a chance to trigger the 'Berserk' state, increasing attack power by 2%]

The attributes were decent; it could probably be sold for around 10,000 star essence on the market.

Just as Lu Yin was preparing to leave, the female warrior suddenly spoke up.

“Please wait a moment!”

Lu Yin turned back.

“What is it?”

The female warrior hesitated slightly before saying,

“May I ask if Your Excellency is alone?”

“Yes.”

Lu Yin replied truthfully.

With his current strength, there was no need to hide anything from this team.

The female warrior took a deep breath and then said somewhat nervously,

“It's like this. You probably also know that the appearance of a field BOSS is accompanied by a guardian chest.”

“The reason we couldn't shake off this BOSS's aggro was because we opened that chest.”

“And the item we obtained from it is a token that can open a hidden area within the Xijiang Instance Dungeon.”

Hearing the female warrior's words, Lu Yin felt a flicker of interest.

“And so?”

Lu Yin looked at the female warrior with an unmoved expression.

“So, I want to team up with you to enter this hidden Dungeon together.”

The female warrior took out the token. It was a crystal-clear jade bead, with what looked like flowing water moving inside.

[Dragon Pearl (Special Item)]

[Usage: Use at the Xijiang Instance Dungeon selection interface to open the hidden Dungeon, Dragon Palace at the Bottom of the River.]

[Restriction: Team size must not exceed 5 people. Minimum entry level: 1. Maximum entry level: 18.]

Lu Yin looked at the description and frowned slightly.

“Minimum entry level 1? I'm only level 6 right now.”

“It doesn't matter. We can wait until you level up to 1. Anyway, this item has no time limit.”

The female warrior saw what Lu Yin meant and spoke up quickly.

This kind of hidden Dungeon was generally extremely difficult.

She felt that even if she assembled a level 15 team, the clearance rate probably wouldn't be very high.

But Lu Yin was different. He was only level 6, yet he had the terrifying ability to insta-kill a level 25 field BOSS.

If she teamed up with him, they could definitely slaughter their way through this Dungeon with ease.

After all, the item only had one use. Without 100% certainty, she didn't want to use it lightly.

“Alright.”

Lu Yin also understood her meaning and immediately nodded in agreement.

Since the other party was willing to wait for him to level up, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

The female warrior breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy appearing on her face.

“Great! My name is Lin Wei, a level 18 Shield Guard. I'm a student at Tianyang University.”

“This is Su Xiaoyu, a level 17 Mage.”

She pointed to the still somewhat shaken female mage beside her, then looked at the girl Lu Yin had saved.

“She is Tang Wan, a level 18 Archer. We are all Classmates.”

Finally coming to her senses, she looked at Lu Yin with a gaze full of curiosity and gratitude.

“Thank you for saving me just now.”

Lu Yin nodded slightly as a response.

“Do you know any places where leveling efficiency is high?”

Lin Wei immediately replied, “We know a place nearby that is very suitable for leveling; the monster density is high.”

“And they are all around level 1 monsters. If you don't mind, we can take you there.”

Lu Yin thought for a moment and said succinctly,

“Lead the way.”
