Having fought the Wolf King until now, Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others had already seen all of its skills and knew the signs before it activated them. Thus, with Yan Hua Yi Leng and Night Rain Madman taking turns using stun skills, there was a good chance they could interrupt it. There was no longer much suspense in the battle.
Seconds ticked by. More than ten seconds later, the Demonized Wolf King howled at the sky, clearly preparing to use Wolf King Summon. Without needing Yan Hua Yi Leng to urge him, Night Rain Madman immediately activated Charge. However, to everyone's slight disappointment, his skill missed.
Yan Hua Yi Leng had been watching the Wolf King all along. After Night Rain Madman's skill failed, she decisively used Frozen Arrow. To everyone's delight, the Wolf King's skill was interrupted. If it wanted to use that skill again, it would have to wait another five minutes.
After breaking free from the ice, the Wolf King immediately used Wolf King Ice Armor. Since both Yan Hua Yi Leng's and Night Rain Madman's skills were on cooldown, they could only watch it cast the skill.
However, everyone was prepared and no longer came within fifteen meters of the Wolf King.
As for Ye Luo, when his health dropped below 300, he decisively consumed a mutated Major Blood Recovery Pill. His health rose to 400, and over the next ten seconds, he recovered nearly 20 health per second, almost offsetting the effect of the frigid aura's assault.
With the support of pills and Ye Yu Yaorao's Spring Revival, Ye Luo's health remained above 270 until the Wolf King was slain and dissolved into specks of white light.
"Ding~!"
System Announcement (China): Congratulations to Yan Hua Yi Leng, Ye Luo Zhi Qiu, Night Rain Misty, Night Rain Madman... for killing the Demonized Magic Wolf and achieving the first kill of a level 10 or higher boss. As a special reward, their experience has been doubled, and all participants have received 1 Skill Point and 100 Reputation.
The system announcement played three times in succession, resounding throughout the China Server.
Thanks to the doubled experience, warmth spread through Ye Luo's body as he rose to level 11. Most of the others around him also gained a level.
Gaining a level delighted Night Rain Misty and the others, but appearing in a system announcement thrilled them even more.
"Haha, I never thought I'd get to appear in a system announcement too! The Wolf King's first kill—damn, this time our Night Rain Family has made a name for itself. We're already this impressive in the early stages of the game, so recruiting experts in the future will be much easier." Night Rain Mad Song laughed loudly, utterly exhilarated.
System announcements were especially important to guild managers. Night Rain Misty's pretty face was full of smiles as she chuckled. "I didn't expect a first kill to trigger a nationwide system announcement. This is rather interesting."
"Yeah, but it would've been even better if our names were listed first..." Some people wanted more after getting what they had hoped for.
Compared to the Night Rain Family's excitement, Yan Hua Yi Leng and Ye Luo Zhi Qiu were much calmer. They cared more about the system rewards and the items dropped by the Wolf King.
One Skill Point was almost useless to Ye Luo at the moment, since he did not have a single passive skill that could be upgraded. Still, something was better than nothing. However, Skill Points were very important to Yan Hua Yi Leng. She decisively raised Ice Spirit Power to Master level, increasing its additional ice damage to 40 points and its slowing effect to 20%.
Next came the Wolf King's drops. Looking at the five glowing orbs and pile of Gold Coins on the ground, the corners of Ye Luo's mouth curved upward.
"A bow, a cloak, a ring, a Skill Book, a wolf hide, and six Gold Coins. Not a bad haul." Although she said so, Yan Hua Yi Leng's tone remained as cold as ever. "Night Rain Misty, you remember our agreement, right? Are you choosing first, or am I?"
"Sister Yan Hua, we couldn't have completed the Magic Wolf's first kill without you. You should choose one item first," Night Rain Misty said generously.
"The old rule of online games: we don't look at the equipment's attributes. Both sides take turns choosing, one item each." Yan Hua Yi Leng spoke indifferently before looking at Ye Luo. "Will you choose, or shall I?"
"You choose." Ye Luo answered casually. Though he had known Yan Hua Yi Leng only briefly, he knew she was not someone who would forget loyalty for profit, so he was perfectly at ease letting her choose.
Yan Hua Yi Leng was not surprised by his answer. Looking at him, she said, "You're lacking a cloak and a ring. I..."
"Forget the cloak. I've already commissioned one, and I'll be able to collect it in a few hours." Ye Luo hurriedly shook his head, then swiftly switched to a private chat channel. "Yan Hua, Tailor Zhang can use animal hides to make equipment. That Wolf King Skin can at least be made into a Bronze Grade cloak."
"So you got Toad King Skin after killing the Toad King and had it made into a cloak." Yan Hua Yi Leng easily deduced the truth. She instantly understood why Ye Luo had told her this. "I understand. I'll take the Wolf King Skin."
Leaving behind the cloak and choosing the seemingly useless Wolf King Skin was undoubtedly doing the Night Rain Family a small favor. In reality, though, they gained quite a bit from it, since the others had no idea what grade the dropped cloak was.
"Yan Hua, you're an archer. You should choose the bow first. It seems your bow is still a level 10 system-issued weapon." Ye Luo switched back to the public channel. "We're going to level together, so the stronger your attack is, the faster we'll level up. Of course, choosing that Skill Book would also be good. Equipment will become outdated quickly, but skills can be used forever."
"Based on my past experience, that Skill Book is most likely one of the three skills used by the Wolf King, so it's useless to us. It also can't be used by other guild members before level 40." Yan Hua Yi Leng spoke calmly. Seeing Ye Luo's stunned expression, she ignored him and turned to Night Rain Misty. "I choose the ring."
Upon hearing that, Night Rain Misty picked up the ring. Her eyes immediately lit up, but then a hint of regret flashed through them. Clearly, the ring's attributes were excellent. Still, she could accept gains and losses. She traded it to Yan Hua Yi Leng, and the item's attributes appeared:
Wolf King Ring (Ring—Bronze) Physical Attack: 35-40 Strength: +10 Additional Effect: Recover 5 health per second Equipment Durability: 150/150 Required Level: 10
Seeing the ring's attributes, everyone drew in a sharp breath. Bronze Grade equipment truly had powerful attributes.
Without immediately equipping the item, Yan Hua Yi Leng looked at Night Rain Misty. "Now it's your turn."
"I choose the Skill Book." Night Rain Misty picked it up as she spoke, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Just as Ye Luo had said, equipment would quickly become outdated, but Skill Books would not. Perhaps Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng could not use it, but the Night Rain Family had many members of every class. Someone would surely be able to use it.
Then, Night Rain Misty showed the Skill Book to Ye Luo and the others:
Ice Armor Technique (Skill Book) Skill Description: After learning this skill, a mage can invoke the power of frost to grant a target a layer of ice armor. At Beginner level, it increases the target's defense by 10% and reduces the movement speed and attack speed of hostile units attacking the target by 10%. Lasts 5 minutes. Skill cooldown: 30 seconds. Requirement: Mages only.
This skill was a weaker version of the Wolf King's Ice Armor. Although it lacked the frigid aura's assault effect, it lasted longer and could be cast on many targets. This would make farming monsters and leveling much safer.
"A very powerful Skill Book. To you, it is far more valuable than a piece of Bronze Grade equipment." Yan Hua Yi Leng spoke indifferently, then said, "Next, I choose the bow."
As if she had long expected Yan Hua Yi Leng to make that choice, Night Rain Misty hurriedly ordered one of her subordinates to pick up the bow. After checking it briefly, she traded it to Yan Hua Yi Leng and smiled. "Congratulations, Sister Yan Hua. You've obtained a very powerful weapon."
Wolf Fang Bow (Weapon—Bronze) Physical Attack: 40-40 Agility: +10 Additional Effect: Energy arrows fired have a piercing effect, increasing damage by 10% Attack Interval: 2.2 seconds Equipment Durability: 150/150 Required Level: 10
Its Physical Attack was extremely strong, and it also had the Agility attribute archers needed most. Its additional effect was equally powerful. Once Yan Hua Yi Leng equipped this weapon, her attack power would increase greatly.
Yan Hua Yi Leng calmly put away the bow, then looked at Night Rain Misty. Her meaning was obvious.
"Sister Yan Hua, I choose the cloak." Night Rain Misty looked at the cloak's attributes once more, and the smile on her face grew even wider. Then she asked, "What will you choose next? Only the wolf hide and Gold Coins remain..."
Although she did not know what equipment the wolf hide could be used to make, Night Rain Misty knew it was valuable. Compared to that, however, she wanted the Gold Coins more. With them, her team could learn several skills, making it much easier to kill powerful monsters.
"I choose the wolf hide." Yan Hua Yi Leng spoke indifferently. Ignoring Night Rain Misty's sigh of relief, she traded several pieces of equipment back to her—the ones they had borrowed from the Night Rain Family earlier.
Seeing this, Ye Luo did not hesitate and also returned all the equipment he had borrowed earlier.
"Sister Yan Hua, thank you again for this." Night Rain Misty thanked them once more. Looking at Ye Luo, there was a faint note of confusion in her voice. "Sister Yan Hua, is Brother Ye Luo a member of your Misty Pavilion? I remember that Misty Pavilion has never accepted male players..."
"Not yet, but perhaps he will be in the future." Yan Hua Yi Leng had naturally understood that Night Rain Misty was trying to recruit Ye Luo. She then looked at him. "Of course, that depends on what Ye Luo wants."
Hearing this, Night Rain Misty was somewhat disappointed. She could only look at Ye Luo. "Brother Ye Luo, would you be interested in joining our Night Rain Family? I can suggest to my brother that he give you the position of team leader..."
"Thank you for the offer, but I don't want to join a guild right now." Ye Luo declined tactfully, then changed his tone. "Of course, we can cooperate again in the future. That would benefit both of us."
Though disappointed that Ye Luo would not join, Night Rain Misty had been mentally prepared. Moreover, receiving Ye Luo's agreement to future cooperation was already what she had hoped for. She nodded lightly. "Mm. We'll cooperate again when the opportunity arises."
