Su Yu ignored those guys who ought to be sent to gambling rehab. The Howling Moon Wolf King's siege countdown had only 47 minutes and 58 seconds left, and he could not waste a single second.
With explosive hand speed, he listed all 46 pieces of equipment at 420 each, then took advantage of the last few seconds of his invisibility to run out of the crowd.
As the invisibility effect vanished, Su Yu's figure appeared at the very edge of the crowd.
But at that moment, a fierce wave of shocked cries erupted behind him.
The watching players had clearly noticed the stall's updated listings. Seeing the newly listed goods, they widened their eyes in disbelief:
"Holy shit! Am I seeing things? How did this stall suddenly get dozens of rare equipment pieces?!"
"Damn! It's real! Could this be some fixed-respawn rare equipment shop?"
"Probably not. The other villages don't have one."
"Whatever, I'm buying first! Level 5 rare gear for only 420 Psionic Coins—what a steal!"
"I'm so jealous of you big shots. I only have 10 Psionic Coins total."
Amid those exclamations came a heartbroken roar:
"Fuck! My 50 Psionic Coins! That was 1,000 yuan!"
But none of that had anything to do with Su Yu anymore.
He folded up the oversized Leather Backpack and stuffed it into his system inventory, then ran out of the Mercenary Trading Market.
After spending 200 Psionic Coins to acquire an Ice Arrow scroll in the small plaza before the Warehouse, Su Yu sprinted toward Wolf King Valley at top speed.
Ice Arrow (Rare): Gather frost elements and fire an elemental ice arrow at the target, dealing magic damage equal to 300% Spell Power and reducing the target's movement speed by 40% for 3 seconds. Cast time: 0.5 seconds. Mana cost: 15.
Su Yu's running speed was now no slower than a car speeding down the highway. When he ran, he was like a gust of wind.
Moreover, he made no effort to hide himself.
As he raced along, he immediately drew countless stares.
"Who was that? He ran so fast!"
"Was he an NPC? Could there be some Hidden Quest?"
"Not an NPC, he was a player! That white hat on his head was player-made tailor equipment—the Hillside Sheepskin Hat."
"He really is a player! How could a player run that fast?"
"I know! He must be using a speed hack! Everyone, report him!"
"I recorded it. I'm posting it on the forums right now."
Not long afterward, news of a "Flying Man appearing in Novice Village 6" spread both online and offline.
Combined with the two major events of "Monster Siege" and "a huge number of rare equipment pieces appearing at the Mercenary Trading Market," Novice Village 6 instantly became the focus of player attention. Its popularity far surpassed that of the former number one—Clear Wind Village, Novice Village 1.
Large numbers of players rushed over from every village.
For a time, Novice Village 6 became a gathering point for influential players and the main hub for players everywhere.
Su Yu, the instigator behind all of this, knew nothing about it. He had already reached the depths of Wolf King Valley.
Facing the imposing Wolf King and its underlings, Su Yu did not dare let down his guard in the slightest.
Leaning against a large tree, he rested for a while and slowly recovered his stamina.
While recovering, he also glanced at his attribute panel.
Because he had equipped a full set of double movement-speed gear, his Spell Power had dropped to 61. The Spell Penetration, Cast Speed, and other attributes added by his equipment were gone as well.
But that was fine.
No matter how much health the Wolf King had, as long as his plan succeeded, it was dead!
His rest ended.
Su Yu stepped out from behind the tree and slowly yet resolutely walked toward the Wolf King.
He drank a bottle of Minor Wisdom Potion, gaining +10 Spell Power. Intermediate ones required level 10 to use.
He casually cast an Ice Shield.
Then he used a scroll to summon a Rock Elemental and commanded it to follow behind him.
On the Wolf King's side—
The wolves in the valley had already assembled into a square formation under the restraint of the Elite Wolf King Guards.
The Howling Moon Wolf King held its head high as it paced before the formation, inspecting its troops.
When it saw Su Yu approaching alone with just an elemental, a human-like glimmer of confusion immediately flashed in its eyes.
Had this foolish human not seen its wolf army?
Was he not afraid of dying here?
Su Yu simply continued forward.
Once he entered his 40-meter spell range, he raised a hand and flung out a Lightning Arrow.
Crack!
-147!
The Lightning Arrow struck the Wolf King squarely in its thick back, leaving behind a small scorched mark.
The damage was decent. Looks like the Wolf King's defense isn't that high either. Su Yu silently nodded.
Awoo—
The Wolf King flew into a rage!
This tiny human actually dared attack it! Dared attack it! Dared attack it! Attack it!
A wolf could endure many things, but not this!
The Wolf King's body instantly vanished from its spot and charged toward Su Yu at a speed nearly invisible to the naked eye.
The wolf pack was enraged as well!
He actually dared to NTR—no, harm their leader right in front of them! Only by tearing out his throat and devouring his flesh could they vent their hatred!
Led by more than a dozen Elite Wolf King Guards, hundreds of Howling Moon Wolves aggressively closed in on Su Yu from all sides, intending to cut off his retreat.
For a moment, a hundred wolves charged wildly.
The sight was utterly spectacular!
The Wolf King's skill was called Pounce. Similar to a Warrior's Charge, it allowed it to rush before an enemy in an extremely short time.
Su Yu remained perfectly calm.
He calculated the Wolf King's arrival time. Just as it was about to reach his side, he used Flash.
Whoosh!
Su Yu vanished from his original position, and the Wolf King's pounce missed.
The moment he steadied himself, he immediately cast Ice Arrow on the Wolf King while throwing out a Lesser Fireball scroll with his left hand.
-107! -113!
The two spells accurately struck the Wolf King's forehead. Ice and fire in perfect duality—an exquisite experience!
The Wolf King clearly did not enjoy that experience.
Having missed its pounce, it howled where it stood. Its body expanded by 30%, and it charged once more toward Su Yu, who was 20 meters away.
Ice Arrow's slowing effect reduced the Wolf King's speed somewhat.
But the Howling Moon Wolf King was, after all, a rare boss with considerable resistance to abnormal statuses. Ice Arrow could only slow it by 20%, and the duration dropped from 4 seconds to less than 3.
However, after observing the Wolf King's current speed, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The Wolf King, slowed by Ice Arrow, was faster than him—but only slightly. With the experience he had accumulated in his previous life, he could absolutely toy the Wolf King to death!
Su Yu quickly turned around and led the Wolf King toward the cliff.
At the same time, while fleeing, he gave the Rock Elemental at his side its final command—hold back the wolf pack!
The honest-looking Rock Elemental took slow steps forward, tragically marching toward the wolf pack.
Once it neared the wolves, the Rock Elemental unleashed Mass Taunt, targeting every wild wolf within range!
The wolves at the front were affected by the mass taunt and stopped one after another to attack the Rock Elemental.
The lone Rock Elemental lasted only five seconds amid the wolf pack before shattering into a pile of rocks.
But its purpose had been fulfilled. Su Yu had already led the Wolf King far away.
