… …
Half of the fruit he had in hand was taken by someone else… Shen Mu was a bit displeased, but he still joined the team. After all, his main goal was to prove he was a benevolent father. Killing the rabbit was optional!
"Since we're cooperating, I'll split this Boss with you. We'll distribute based on need!"
"Based on effort!" Wu Yong Zhi Ren was a man of few words, his gaze constantly fixed on the five people being besieged. He didn't even spare Shen Mu a glance.
Shen Mu pouted when he heard that, but he was used to being ignored and didn't care. He just felt that Wu Yong Zhi Ren was a bit too pretentious, leaving him no chance to show off.
Why isn't my persona that of a cold, domineering CEO type?
Oh, right… I'm poor!
Actually, when you think about it, apart from some spendthrifts, rich players generally don't talk much!
"Bro, are you a rich second-generation heir?" Shen Mu saw that the battle below was in full swing, and to avoid an awkward silence on their side, he probed.
Wu Yong Zhi Ren turned his head and glanced at Shen Mu. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "No…" Then he turned his head back, his voice flat:
"My grandfather is."
Damn it, I shouldn't have asked!
No Longer sought to embarrass himself. Someone else's grandfather was a rich second-generation heir, so there was no need to mention his own situation. As for him? He could only strive to become a rich first-generation!
Just as the two were 'chatting', the battle situation ahead changed. Thanks to their help, three of Lord of Chaotic World's five members died instantly, leaving only Luan Shi Hong Yan and Luan Shi Weiyang struggling to hold on.
What was surprising was Luan Shi Hong Yan. This beautiful and capable woman was indeed a high-level player. When the Goblin team charged, she wiped out most of them with a wall of fire, leaving the remaining few with critically low health.
Luan Shi Weiyang, on the other hand, barely held back the fierce attacks of the Giant Rabbit and Hyena, but he was constantly retreating and drinking red potions to maintain his health. He was already in a precarious situation.
The situation on the field was excellent, and Shen Mu was happy to watch the show. However, Wu Yong Zhi Ren suddenly descended with his staff, killing a Goblin that was attacking Luan Shi Hong Yan with an Ice Cone.
"Oh, bro, what are you doing?" Shen Mu quickly asked, but the latter only left him a back view. He didn't even bother to explain!
"Hmph, it's you again, truly a persistent ghost!" Luan Shi Hong Yan snorted coldly when she saw Wu Yong Zhi Ren appear. It seemed there was bad blood between them.
"Despicable and shameless, Wu Yong Zhi Ren, you must have lured all these monsters here, right? You've got guts to provoke our Lord of Chaotic World. Haven't you died enough already?" Luan Shi Weiyang immediately burst into curses.
"Oh? Impatient?" Wu Yong Zhi Ren killed another Goblin, his tone flat.
"My goodness, what are you putting on an act for! Can't you speak properly?"
"You should know that those who oppose Lord of Chaotic World will not have a good end!"
"Allure? Kunlun?" Wu Yong Zhi Ren mentioned two names, both top-tier guilds, especially Allure, which had always been a super guild in various online games, also owning two professional e-sports teams.
No matter how strong Lord of Chaotic World was, it was no match for Allure. As for Kunlun… its origins were mysterious, and its battle records were few. What was most famous was the Kunlun Guild's leader, who once single-handedly slaughtered three of Lord of Chaotic World's cities, killing so many NPCs that they refreshed multiple times.
Although these all happened in other games, now that "Hope" was released, major guilds would certainly enter the game, and Allure and Kunlun were no exception.
"You're not even from Allure, so what kind of man are you to bring up others here? Do you dare to duel me?" Luan Shi Weiyang continued to curse, his tone even more hysterical. Without paying attention, he was bitten again on the backside by a Hyena.
"Trash!"
Wu Yong Zhi Ren looked at Luan Shi Weiyang with eyes that saw trash, calling him trash. He truly regarded the other as trash!
"!!!!"
Luan Shi Weiyang cursed a few more times, then fell under the Hyena's jaws. Luan Shi Hong Yan, seeing that the tide had turned, sighed and said, "We'll meet again!"
After the unrestrained Giant Rabbit knocked away two Hyenas, it furiously pounded Luan Shi Hong Yan to death. Wu Yong Zhi Ren glanced back at Shen Mu's position and softly said, "Still not coming out?"
Shen Mu knew what he meant. Since the two of them had trapped and killed all of Lord of Chaotic World's members, the opponents would surely rush back quickly after reviving. To get the Boss, they had to hurry.
Fortunately, the Giant Rabbit's health was already low, but the pack of Hyenas was a bit troublesome.
"You handle these dogs, I'll kill the Boss?"
The Thief's solo combat ability had always been strong, especially after learning Ambush. In the early stages, a Thief was almost invincible in solo combat!
Ambush was a single-target control skill. Hitting a vital spot or critical striking would stun the target. It had low consumption, short cooldown, fast execution, and long control duration… Aside from slightly low damage, it had almost no drawbacks.
Wu Yong Zhi Ren nodded without speaking, and an Ice Wall appeared among the Hyena pack. Shen Mu, meanwhile, extended a clean small hand towards the Giant Rabbit and sternly shouted, "Come here!"
Stealing was successful, and a carrot was acquired. The Giant Rabbit immediately roared and charged towards Shen Mu. Wu Yong Zhi Ren glanced at Shen Mu with a hint of surprise, a rare look of confusion and bewilderment on his face.
The Giant Rabbit charged forward. Shen Mu didn't dodge immediately. Only when the former was in front of him did he vanish. His level six emerald dagger struck the Giant Rabbit, and his wrist twisted with the motion!
-35, -15, -5, -5, -5…
Several small stars accompanied by wisps of green smoke appeared above the Giant Rabbit's head, indicating stun and poison. Then Shen Mu circled behind the Giant Rabbit and stabbed fiercely!
Shadow Strike!
-50, -5, -5, -5…
After drinking a blue potion, Shen Mu took off running. His set of skills was used up, and he had to wait for the next set. This was how it was in the early game: low mana, few skills, and even less health. With his current defense and health, the Giant Rabbit could swat him to death with one slap!
A level seven player soloing a level ten Boss, even if it was low on health, was still extremely difficult. One careless mistake could lead to instant death.
The Giant Rabbit was very fast, so Shen Mu had to use Shadow Step with his partially recovered mana to avoid being caught. This also allowed him to wait for the second Ambush cooldown to complete!
Ambush had a stun bonus in Shadow Cloak state, but Shen Mu didn't have the mana to activate Shadow Cloak, so the second Ambush went wrong!
Stun failed!
I'm done for!
Looking at the giant palm swinging down at him, Shen Mu's face was bitter. As luck would have it, Shadow Step's movement speed bonus also disappeared…
Sigh, I was still too overconfident!
At the critical moment, an Ice Ring emanated from Wu Yong Zhi Ren, and the Giant Rabbit, with its innocent big eyes, fell into a frozen state!
Holy cow, just in time!
Shen Mu sighed inwardly but didn't choose to retreat. Instead, he circled behind the Giant Rabbit again…
