Battling the Wolf King

[Mutated Strength Pill] (Tier 2-3 Elixir)

Elixir Effect: Upon consumption, temporarily increases the player's Strength by 15 points and puts the user into an excited state, boosting Physical Attack Power by 10%.

Duration: Half an hour.

Usage Restriction: Cannot be stacked.

The mutated Strength Pill not only increased Strength by a bit more but also boosted Physical Attack by 10%. This was a very powerful stat. With this Strength Pill, Ye Luo's confidence in defeating the Wolf King grew even stronger.

Not long after, the people Night Rain Misty sent to buy elixirs and bread returned. Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng each received a loaf of bread. Then, they regrouped their party, preparing to seek out the Demonized Wolf King.

So much time had passed, and so many people had been killed by the Wolf King. Many players had chosen to give up. By this time, not many people remained, which was convenient for Ye Luo and his group.

"Night Rain Madman, you go first. Everyone else, do not attack," Yan Hua Yi Leng commanded. Seeing the hesitation on Night Rain Madman's face, she explained, "Naturally, you're not meant to tank. After all, your attack is too low to hold aggro, and killing it this way would be too slow. The main purpose is for you to expend the Wolf King's skills. It would be great if it could cast the [Wolf King Ice Armor]."

Night Rain Misty was also intelligent and quickly understood Yan Hua Yi Leng's intention. The cooldown for the [Wolf King Ice Armor] skill was 3 minutes. Once cast, everyone would be safe for at least three minutes, increasing the chances of defeating the Wolf King.

After a brief explanation to Night Rain Madman, he quickly understood and prepared to move forward.

"Based on my experience in many games, monsters only unleash powerful skills when they feel threatened. Therefore, I don't think Night Rain Madman can force it to cast [Wolf King Ice Armor], but at the very least, it should be forced to use [Wolf King Combo]," Yan Hua Yi Leng said, then looked at Ye Luo. "Ye Luo, you'll be next. Attack with all your might."

Nodding, Ye Luo indicated he understood.

Afterward, Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others began their operation. The first step was naturally to kill all the Young Demon Wolves surrounding the Wolf King. This was not a difficult task for the elites of the Night Rain Family, especially with Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng helping.

Following that, the players from the Night Rain Family formed a encirclement according to Yan Hua Yi Leng's instructions, all keeping a considerable distance from the Wolf King to ensure they didn't attract its aggro.

Once the encirclement was formed, Night Rain Madman strode towards the Wolf King under everyone's expectant gaze. When he was still 10 meters away, he activated the Knight skill [Charge]. The immense impact force stunned the Wolf King for 1 second. That wasn't all; Night Rain Madman swept his spear horizontally, unleashing a [Slash] skill, similar to a Swordsman's skill.

[Slash] was a common skill for some professions, usable by Knights, Swordsmen, and Berserkers, with similar effects.

Night Rain Madman's Defense was incredibly high. With all his stat points invested in Constitution and a full set of equipment, his Defense reached 145 points. However, his Attack Power was only a little over 60 points. Even after using the [Slash] skill, he only dealt 50 damage to the Wolf King, which the Wolf King's powerful regeneration instantly recovered 20 points from.

Afterward, Night Rain Madman's skills were on cooldown, and he could only resort to basic attacks. Each attack dealt only a little over 30 damage, which was insignificant to the Wolf King. If this continued, it would likely take several hours to defeat it.

Fortunately, Night Rain Madman had high Defense and Health Points. A single attack from the Wolf King only reduced his Health Points by about 60. With his 1300 Health Points, supplemented by the bread and elixirs, he could hold on without issues.

"A Knight with all points in Constitution truly has high Defense, but their Attack Power is too low. None of us dare to attack right now, or we'll easily pull aggro," Yan Hua Yi Leng muttered to herself. "Until we learn skills like Taunt that significantly increase aggro, this profession is quite useless."

Seeing itself being provoked, the Wolf King roared in anger, but its attacks posed little threat to Night Rain Madman. A minute later, as if sensing this, it let out a wolf howl and its claws moved like the wind, unleashing [Wolf King Combo]. Two damage numbers, '65' and '60', appeared above Night Rain Madman's head, and his Health Points dropped significantly.

Seeing that the Wolf King had unleashed the [Wolf King Combo] skill, Ye Luo, who had been slowly approaching, began his attack, immediately using the [Slash] skill. Ye Luo felt a surge of powerful energy from his Soul Crystal, and his Novice Iron Sword glowed brightly. A sword-shaped phantom struck the Wolf King's head, displaying a damage number of '160'.

After using a skill, players have a brief recovery animation, wasting 0.1 seconds to retract their arm.

Ye Luo knew this from Yan Hua Yi Leng's earlier explanation. He deliberately adjusted his stance, and after activating the skill, he followed up with a basic attack during the recovery animation. Then, he activated the [Combo Attack] skill again, greatly mitigating the stiffening effect on his character.

'138', '95', '88'...

These were the damage numbers from Ye Luo's basic attack and combo attack. Three attacks dealt a total of 400 damage, immediately drawing the Wolf King's aggro.

"Tsk tsk, a master, an absolute master. Just by executing the first skill, he could combine it with basic attacks to form an attack sequence. Such burst damage is astonishing, almost firmly holding the aggro," Night Rain Misty praised inwardly. "As expected of a master from Misty Pavilion, worthy of teaming up with Yan Hua Yi Leng."

"Ye Luo's comprehension is excellent, grasping attack combinations so quickly," Yan Hua Yi Leng praised silently. "Given time, if he can fully integrate his real-world combat skills into the game, he will undoubtedly become a top-tier expert. It's not impossible for him to rank on China's Celebrity Ranking."

Enraged by the continuous attacks, the Wolf King lunged at Ye Luo. Its claws swung, and a damage number of 70 appeared above Ye Luo's head.

While 70 damage was not insignificant to Ye Luo, he could withstand a few such attacks. Knowing that Night Rain Yaorao couldn't heal him at the moment, he decisively consumed a Minor Blood Recovery Pill. Combined with the bread and the mixed effects of the Battle Soul Crystal, he instantly recovered 40 Health Points.

After consuming the elixir, Ye Luo continued his attack. This time, he got lucky with a critical hit, displaying a red damage number of '270'. This completely secured the Wolf King's aggro.

"Night Rain Madman, heal up. Help Ye Luo block line of sight once your Health Points recover to 1000," Yan Hua Yi Leng calmly issued commands. "Night Rain Yaorao, you can start healing Ye Luo now. Ye Luo, continue attacking and wait for your skills' cooldown. Don't worry about losing aggro."

Finally, Yan Hua Yi Leng looked at Night Rain Misty. "Night Rain Misty, you can now lead the ranged professions to attack."

As she said this, Yan Hua Yi Leng also began to attack. An energy arrow imbued with Ice Spirit Power whistled through the air, striking the Wolf King and causing ice flowers to bloom, slightly reducing the Wolf King's speed. It was no longer much faster than Ye Luo.

Ye Luo equipped a ring and consumed the mutated Strength Pill, greatly increasing the damage he dealt to the Wolf King. However, to be safe, Yan Hua Yi Leng deliberately slowed her attack frequency. This way, she reduced the Wolf King's speed and dealt some damage without attracting its aggro.

Nodding, Night Rain Misty and the others furiously began their assault. Instantly, Mage energy blasts and Archer energy arrows whistled through the air, raining down like a torrent. They were of various colors and created a spectacular sight.

However, these attacks had much lower Attack Power, dealing only 10 or 20 damage to the Wolf King. But their sheer number compensated for this, making the overall damage dealt to the Wolf King quite high, even exceeding the combined damage of Yan Hua Yi Leng and Ye Luo. The Wolf King's Health Points visibly decreased at a rapid pace.

Low attack power had its advantages; at the very least, one could attack without restraint, not worrying about attracting aggro.

Ye Luo's attack damage was very high. Once his skills' cooldowns ended, he continued his previous combo attacks. The high damage firmly held the Wolf King's aggro.

Under the Wolf King's attacks, Ye Luo's Health bar dropped rapidly. After five or six attacks, his Health Points were only a little over 280. The recovery from Minor Blood Recovery Pills and bread was no longer sufficient. However, he wasn't worried, as Night Rain Yaorao had already cast [Spring Revival].

A green light flashed, and Ye Luo felt a warmth spread through his body. His Health Points recovered by 60. Combined with his natural regeneration, he quickly reached over 370 Health Points, temporarily safe.

Most players in the Night Rain Family had played games for a long time and were considered experts. Even Night Rain Yaorao was no exception. After casting [Spring Revival], she unhesitatingly retreated, moving away from the Wolf King to wait for her skill's cooldown, preparing to heal Ye Luo again.

On the other side, Night Rain Madman's Health Points had also recovered to over 1000. Seeing Ye Luo fighting bravely, he seized the opportunity and flashed forward, helping to block the Wolf King's line of sight, and occasionally succeeding. In this way, Night Rain Madman bought Ye Luo considerable time. Although Ye Luo's Health Points fluctuated significantly, they quickly remained above the safety line.

While the ranged professions attacked, the melee professions were not idle. Based on the previous encirclement, they pushed outwards four or five meters, killing or blocking all the surrounding Young Demon Wolves, giving them no chance to interfere with the battle.

"The players of the Night Rain Family have decent quality. Although not comparable to my Misty Pavilion, they are quite good for the early stage of the game," Yan Hua Yi Leng thought to herself, feeling reassured. "If we continue like this, defeating the Wolf King won't be difficult."

As she spoke, the Wolf King let out another low growl. Having seen this before, everyone knew it was about to cast [Wolf King Combo]. With Ye Luo's current Defense, taking this skill head-on would cost him about 150 Health Points. If a critical hit occurred, it would be even more. It was best to dodge if possible.

Seeing this, Night Rain Madman activated [Charge] again. However, this time, it didn't stun the Wolf King at all. He didn't hesitate and flashed forward, preparing to block its line of sight. But the Wolf King was faster than him, turning and circling past him, continuing its lunge towards Ye Luo.

Frowning slightly, Ye Luo was ready to consume a mutated Major Blood Recovery Pill. But the next moment, he smiled, because Yan Hua Yi Leng had already activated her skill.

An ice arrow radiating intense coldness whistled through the air. This ice arrow was larger than a normal one, and light flowed along its shaft. It was the unique skill of an Ice Spirit Archer—[Frozen Arrow].
