Demonized Wolf King

Thinking about the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission and the cloak, Ye Luo headed towards the north gate of the Novice Village. Before he arrived, he saw countless players swarming out of the Novice Village, likely hearing words like "kill boss" and "drop artifact."

"A boss appeared outside the Novice Village?" Ye Luo's heart stirred. He knew how valuable bosses were and couldn't help but quicken his pace. While rushing, he contacted Yan Hua Yi Leng: "Yan Hua, a boss appeared at the north gate of the Novice Village, do you know about it?"

"Yes, I know," Yan Hua Yi Leng's calm and icy voice replied. "Not long after you left, a Level 12 Wolf King appeared in Demon Wolf Valley. It's very powerful, and many people are currently attacking this boss."

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo became even more excited and sped up. Soon, he saw the Wolf King and its stats:

[Demonized Wolf King](Bronze-grade boss)

Level: 12

Physical Attack: 72-80

Physical Defense: 120

Health: 50000

Skills: [Wolf King Claw Strike], [Wolf King Summon], [Wolf King Ice Armor]

[Wolf King Claw Strike]: The Wolf King attacks the target twice consecutively with its sharp claws. The first attack deals 90% of normal damage, and the second attack deals 80% of normal damage. Skill cooldown: 30 seconds.

[Wolf King Summon]: Using the power of the Wolf King of the wolf tribe as a guide, it summons the surrounding Demonized Demon Wolves to join the battle. Skill cooldown: 5 minutes.

[Wolf King Ice Armor]: It covers itself in an ice armor with frost power, increasing defense by 30% and ice resistance by 50%. It also infects targets within a 20-meter radius with frost power, reducing their attack speed and movement speed by 30%, causing them to lose 25 health per second for 20 seconds. Skill cooldown: 5 minutes.

After reading the Wolf King's description, Ye Luo was dumbfounded. "This, this Wolf King's stats are too powerful! It can kill a player in two or three hits, and the last skill is even more monstrous – an area-of-effect skill. With this, hardly any player can withstand it."

"Currently, player defense is generally below 45 points, so they die after being hit about twice," Yan Hua Yi Leng said. She scanned the players attacking. "Moreover, these people are fighting individually. It's almost impossible to defeat the Wolf King, especially with that last skill. Once hit by it, it's hard to escape and they can only tank it."

Players' health is generally only 400-500 now. They'd be wiped out by a single Wolf King Ice Armor, and after their speed is reduced, they wouldn't be able to escape at all.

"What should we do then?" Ye Luo asked, a hint of anticipation in his voice. "Wait for these people to deplete the Wolf King's health, and then we can reap the rewards. How about it?"

"If the Wolf King has less than 30% health remaining, with the support of countless pills, we have a 1% chance of killing it. At 20% health remaining, it's a 5% chance, and at 10% remaining, it's a 20% chance. That's far from half," Yan Hua Yi Leng analyzed calmly, then shook her head. "And it's almost impossible for these people to deplete the Wolf King's health to only 30%, let alone 10%, considering the Wolf King's rapid health regeneration."

As if to verify Yan Hua Yi Leng's words, the players who had charged at the Wolf King one by one were dying. The Wolf King's lost health was recovering at a rate of over 20 points per second, quickly returning to full.

After dozens or even hundreds of players died, everyone realized the terror of this Wolf King and no longer dared to rush forward, observing from a distance with grim expressions.

As if expecting this, Yan Hua Yi Leng said indifferently, "Players' levels are too low, their equipment is too poor, too few have transferred professions, their skill levels are too low, and they lack supplies. The difficulty of dealing with this Demon Wolf is too great."

"Is there really no way to kill it?" Ye Luo asked, a hint of doubt in his tone.

"There is a way, but you'll have to completely follow my command. However, there's a slight problem with achieving that," Yan Hua Yi Leng said. She looked around. "In Novice Village 0099, I'm the only one from Misty Pavilion, so I have no subordinates."

"Can we join forces with these people?" Ye Luo inquired.

"We can, but it will be difficult to distribute the loot afterward, and they might not listen to my commands or cooperate well," Yan Hua Yi Leng said, adding at the end, "So, the difficulty is very high."

"If you reveal your ID, I think many people will agree to be led by you, after all, you are the number one strategist in the online gaming world," Ye Luo said. Then he pointed to himself, "I will be the first to follow your command and will be responsible for providing pills to these people. With that, our chances of success won't be small."

"Also, I see some players with pretty good equipment. We can pool them together to create a few players with high defense. As long as they can withstand the damage from Wolf King Ice Armor, I think killing the Demon Wolf won't be a problem," Ye Luo added.

"That's a good idea, but who would be willing to lend out their equipment?" Yan Hua Yi Leng said, her tone still indifferent. "After all, they aren't from the same guild, so there's no obligation..."

As they were speaking, dozens of players, surrounding a female player, walked towards Ye Luo. No, to be precise, they were heading towards Yan Hua Yi Leng. Their IDs all started with "Night Rain," clearly indicating they were all from the Night Rain Family. Among them were Ye Luo's acquaintances – Night Rain Misty, Night Rain Madman, and Night Rain Mad Song.

"Heh, looks like someone is willing to cooperate with us," Ye Luo chuckled, glancing meaningfully at Yan Hua Yi Leng.

"The Night Rain Family has some fame in our country. If we cooperate with them, there's a decent chance. We can try," Yan Hua Yi Leng said.

Night Rain Misty had already transferred professions to become a Mage. She was wearing a mage robe, and her stunning beauty combined with her proud figure was incredibly alluring. She seemed to recognize Yan Hua Yi Leng's identity and walked directly towards her, naturally spotting Ye Luo beside Yan Hua Yi Leng.

"Isn't Ye Luo Zhi Qiu that player who was the first to become an Alchemist? He's actually beside Yan Hua Yi Leng. Could he be from Misty Pavilion? No, Misty Pavilion rarely recruits male players," Night Rain Misty mused, but quickly dismissed the thought. "Even better, with Ye Luo Zhi Qiu here, he can provide us with many pills, increasing our chances of killing the Wolf King."

Night Rain Madman and Night Rain Mad Song, beside Night Rain Misty, also saw Ye Luo Zhi Qiu. They couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling fortunate that they hadn't offended him. Although their Night Rain Gang had some fame in China, there was still a significant gap compared to Misty Pavilion.

"Sister Yan Hua, you're here," Night Rain Misty greeted Yan Hua Yi Leng sweetly. Seeing the other's calm expression, she seemed to have expected this and didn't mind, directly asking, "Are you interested in joining forces with us to take down this Wolf King?"

"I will command the team, and I want half of the loot," Yan Hua Yi Leng stated directly, her tone as cold as the deepest ice.

"Tsk, tsk, I thought Yan Hua's tone towards me was cold enough, but she's even colder to outsiders. Is this the difference between acquaintances?" Ye Luo thought to himself but didn't speak, watching the group with amusement.

Frowning slightly, Night Rain Misty's pretty face showed a hint of difficulty.

"Miss Yan Hua, although you are very powerful, asking for half of the loot is a bit too much," Night Rain Mad Song said, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"That's right. We have so many people, and you only have two. Why should you get half the loot?" Night Rain Madman, with his straightforward temper, spoke much more bluntly.

Unexpectedly, Yan Hua Yi Leng didn't get angry. She created a showcase of her four skills and displayed them to Night Rain Misty. Then she said, "With my Hidden Profession, these skills, and Ye Luo Zhi Qiu's and my combined attack power exceeding 100 and defense exceeding 60, do you think I have the right to say this?"

"Yan Hua, I forgot to tell you, my attack power has reached 127-133, and my defense has reached 67-72," Ye Luo said casually. Seeing the shocked expressions of the Night Rain Gang members, he continued, "Also, I have over a hundred Minor Blood Recovery Pills and more than 10 mutated recovery pills, as well as over 20 Strength Pills that temporarily increase strength by 10 points. These will be somewhat helpful in killing the Wolf King."

A rare smile touched Yan Hua Yi Leng's lips as she inwardly praised Ye Luo Zhi Qiu's cleverness.

"His attack power actually reached around 130, heavens, that's too high! Brother Ye Luo Zhi Qiu, your equipment is too good!" Night Rain Misty exclaimed. "Your defense isn't bad either, but Sister Yan Hua's skills are even more dominant. The upgraded Ice Spirit Power skill can add an extra 30 ice damage, which is terrifying. It will undoubtedly be a sharp weapon for killing the Wolf King."

After saying this, Night Rain Misty nodded. "Alright, I agree. We'll split the loot with you half and half, and the command will be handed over to Sister Yan Hua. All of us from Night Rain here, including myself, promise to follow your commands."

"Huh? Yan Hua's Ice Spirit Power has been upgraded to advanced? Isn't that a passive skill? How did it level up?" Ye Luo was slightly taken aback, then asked Yan Hua Yi Leng in a private message.

"Players get a skill point every 5 levels. Skill points can only be invested in upgradable passive skills. I put both of those skill points into Ice Spirit Power," Yan Hua Yi Leng explained privately, then looked at Night Rain Misty. "That's good. However, I have one more request. If you agree, our success rate in killing the Wolf King will increase by fifty percent."

Night Rain Misty's beautiful eyes lit up. She asked, "What condition? If it can increase the success rate, I will definitely agree."

"Borrow a few pieces of equipment from your people," Yan Hua Yi Leng said nonchalantly. Seeing Night Rain Misty deep in thought, she explained, "Only defensive equipment. This way, Ye Luo Zhi Qiu's and my defense will increase significantly, possibly breaking 90."

"Heh, borrowing equipment, what if you..." Night Rain Madman was about to say something when Night Rain Misty interrupted him.

"Sister Yan Hua is a celebrity in the gaming world, how could she covet a few pieces of equipment?" Night Rain Misty reprimanded coldly, then looked at Yan Hua Yi Leng and smiled sweetly. "Originally, I was a bit worried about not being able to kill the Wolf King, but after hearing Sister Yan Hua say this, I feel much more confident. Alright, I agree. What equipment do you need?"

"I need a cloak, helmet, and boots, preferably around Level 10," Yan Hua Yi Leng said directly, stating the equipment she lacked without being polite. Then she looked at Ye Luo Zhi Qiu, her meaning obvious.
