Drawing a Card! Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

The dense light dispersed, and dozens of Ironback Rhinos vanished, replaced by a rhino entirely golden yellow. It stood five meters tall, its size a full double that of the previous Ironback Rhinos.

[Golden Rhino]·Lord-class BOSS

Level: 7

Attack Power: 500

Defense: 1000

HP: 5000

Temperament: Enraged

Description: The king of the Ironback Rhino herd, possessing a golden horn as a symbol of its royal status. Its golden hide boasts incredibly strong defense.

Skills: Lord's Deterrence, Death Stomp, Vow of Revenge

After glancing at the Rhino Lord's stats, Xiao Wen's expression grew considerably more serious.

Among the early-game BOSSes, the most difficult to deal with were not the aggressive types, but defensive BOSSes like the Ironback Rhino. They were tough and thick-skinned, yet their attacks were not weak. Without significant attack power or finding a way to break their defense by exploiting a weakness, it was impossible to inflict damage, let alone defeat them.

"It seems this will indeed be quite challenging. Ice Snow and Flame Dragon must have used consumables. With the massive guild support behind them, as long as they can quickly craft a defense-piercing potion, it will be enough for them to ignore defense and find a weaker Lord-class BOSS to defeat. However, this method isn't suitable for me. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to fight head-on."

Xiao Wen muttered. The next moment, his gaze suddenly fell upon the Duel Disk on his wrist, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Perhaps, I have a second option."

His finger landed on a card. The instant his fingertip made contact, a jolt, like an electric shock, surged from the card.

Xiao Wen trembled, and in that moment, he seemed to hear a dragon's roar in his ears. Vaguely, the phantom image of a massive, blue-eyed white dragon materialized in his mind.

"This... this is... drawing a card!"

He applied pressure with his fingertip and pulled the card out.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon] Level 8; Dragon/Light

ATK: 3000; DEF: 2500

Description: A legendary high-ranking dragon possessing immense power. Its proud head holds an arrogance that scorns everything; only the strong are worthy of its submission.

"Blue... Blue-Eyes White Dragon? A full three thousand attack power? No, it's more than three thousand. Outside of Duel City, monster attack power is based on its base stats, but it's also influenced by its Star Level and the player's level! If that's the case, I'll take this Level 7 Lord-class BOSS!"

Looking at the massive Rhino Lord before him, Yang Cheng trembled, his calves shaking, his small face pale, clearly terrified to the extreme.

"Lord... Lord-class BOSS!" Yang Cheng twisted his stiff neck. Seeing his sister behind him with an equally grim expression, he said with a wry smile, "Sis, we don't have any kill count on us, so there's a high chance we won't drop any equipment, right?"

"What nonsense are you spouting! Fatty, retreat quickly. After dealing with the Ironback Rhino in front of you, find an opportunity to disengage and log off!" the female archer shouted.

In such a critical moment, making the most sensible decision.

As she spoke, she drew her bow and fired arrows, her rate of fire noticeably faster than before.

Simultaneously, Yang Cheng held one hand on the Ironback Rhino's horn in front of him and clenched his other fist, smashing it into the Ironback Rhino's head, dealing a small amount of damage.

Under their combined assault, the remaining Ironback Rhino's health rapidly decreased.

Just as its health was about to hit zero, the distant Rhino Lord lifted a hoof and stomped the ground forcefully. A halo instantly spread outwards from its body.

It moved incredibly fast, almost instantly covering the low-health Ironback Rhino.

The moment the light enveloped it, the low-health Ironback Rhino let out a long roar, and the iron color on its back gradually began to show a hint of silver.

The powerful arrows that had been flying towards the Ironback Rhino struck its back, only to display a gray and white "0" damage.

"Fatty, go! Immediately create distance, disengage from combat, and find a chance to log off," the female archer exclaimed.

Yang Cheng, obediently, almost as soon as he heard his sister speak, retreated, creating distance between himself and the Ironback Rhino. He then swung his fists towards the rock walls on either side, dislodging a large chunk of stone to block the passage, holding back the Ironback Rhino.

When he rejoined the female archer, the two of them had just exited combat.

However, just as the two were attempting to forcibly log off, they were informed that it was not possible.

System notification: Warning! Player has been locked onto by the Golden Rhino's Vow of Revenge skill. You have entered a life-or-death duel. You can only log off after killing the Golden Rhino or being killed by it.

The notification sounded in their ears, and both of their expressions turned extremely grim.

"Sis, what should we do? I have high HP, why don't I go out and tank it, drawing its attention? You're an archer, Sis, with high movement speed. As long as you seize an opportunity, with your speed, you should be able to run back to the novice village." Yang Cheng suggested.

The female archer's expression darkened. After a long moment of hesitation, she nodded.

Although it was a helpless situation, it was the only option available at the moment.

Yang Cheng's lips curved slightly. He took off the equipment from his backpack, along with the Green-grade Armor he was wearing, and threw them to his sister.

Since it was destined that he would die, he naturally wanted to minimize the losses.

Even if he died and lost a level, as long as his sister escaped, with the spoils from this encounter, it wouldn't be a loss.

"Say, you two, how about a deal? I'll help you deal with this Ironback Rhino, and you give me the Green-grade Armor and Green-grade Bow and Arrow you have on you?"

A private message popped up before the siblings.

"Sis, who the heck is this! Showing up here and seeking attention at a time like this? Don't let me catch him, I'll kill him down to level zero!"

Yang Cheng, who was already feeling dejected, became furious upon seeing this message.

The female archer narrowed her eyes. She didn't reply, but after about half a minute of thought, she responded, "Alright, as long as you can take care of this Rhino Lord, we'll give you these two pieces of Green-grade equipment."

"No, Sis, how could you agree to that..."

Before he could even finish speaking, Yang Cheng slapped his forehead, instantly realizing his older sister's plan.

To kill a Level 7 Lord-class BOSS? Even top players like Tianyan Jiulong and the Ice Snow Three Kings relied on the assistance of numerous guild members behind them, and only after countless failed attempts and wipes did they succeed.

This kid in front of them, wanting to kill a Level 7 Lord-class BOSS?

And alone?

Isn't that just dreaming when awake?

However, such a fool was coming at the perfect time. They could use him to attract the Rhino Lord's attention.

As long as there was even a sliver of an opening, they would have a chance to escape.

"Fatty, be careful, don't be careless."

"Don't worry, sis, I know. Don't forget, I still have that skill. That kid is destined to be our scapegoat!"
