Su Yu pondered in his mind, but his hands did not slow in the slightest.
Lightning Arrows flew from the tip of his wand one after another, while Fireballs activated from magic scrolls, turning the surrounding Hillside Sheep into his Experience Points.
Wherever he went, rows upon rows of Hillside Sheep corpses fell like harvested chives.
And this time, there were no other players nearby, so Su Yu did not need to worry about being seen. He became even more uninhibited.
But after grinding for over ten minutes and killing more than four hundred Hillside Sheep, Su Yu suddenly noticed an eerie sound of wind coming from the sky.
Looking up, Su Yu saw a completely golden goat, half again as large as the other Hillside Sheep, plummeting straight down at him from midair.
Hillside Sheep Leader (Excellent) Health: 800
It was actually a green Excellent-quality boss!
It turned out that just moments ago, the Goat Boss had spawned not far from Su Yu.
By sheer coincidence, Su Yu's Lightning Arrow struck it.
After being attacked, the Goat Boss's eyes immediately turned red. It used Leaping Stomp, launching itself into the air before stomping down on Su Yu's position from above.
And throughout his grinding, Su Yu had been distracted. He did not react until the Goat Boss was nearly upon him.
Once he reacted, Su Yu hurriedly dodged to the side, but it was already too late.
He had only taken two steps when the Goat Boss's hoof slammed down on the spot where he had just been standing.
Bang!
Dust billowed across the area where the Goat Boss landed, kicking up a small Earthquake Wave.
- 78!
Su Yu was caught by the Earthquake Wave, and his health immediately dropped by a huge amount.
Of his original 90 health, only 12 remained. His life hung by a thread.
Fortunately, Su Yu's Novice Mage Robe and Cloth Boots were both reinforced Rare-quality equipment, giving him an additional 20 Defense.
Otherwise, that single hit would have instantly killed Su Yu!
"Whew, good thing I wasn't one-shot. It would have been humiliating to get kicked offline by a low-level monster!" Su Yu sighed in relief.
In "Evolution," being killed in the wild by a player or monster would not cause players to lose levels or equipment.
However, every death would forcibly kick them offline for half an hour, preventing them from logging in. At the same time, it would deduct half an hour of game time. ("Evolution" allowed a maximum of twelve hours of login time per day.)
If Su Yu got kicked offline for half an hour because of carelessness, he would suffer a huge loss!
The Goat Boss did not know what Su Yu was thinking.
However, as an Excellent-quality boss, aside from Leaping Stomp, it possessed two other skills.
"Baa!"
The Goat Boss bleated and activated Sheep Swarm Summon.
Five flashes of white light passed by, and five Hillside Sheep were summoned, all targeting Su Yu!
Then, the Goat Boss used its third skill, Sheep Swarm Charge, accelerating toward Su Yu together with its "sheep underlings" in an attempt to eliminate this intruder.
Yet Su Yu remained unhurried.
Although he only had a sliver of health left and would die if the sheep so much as touched him, and although he had not brought any Health Potions—
Su Yu had, after all, endured the baptism of high-level monsters.
In his previous life, while facing the saturated barrage attacks of high-level monsters, as dense as "lightning," Su Yu's skills had been honed to an exceptional level.
Though the Goat Boss was an Excellent-quality boss, it was not worth mentioning to Su Yu.
Facing the sheep swarm's attack, Su Yu focused on the Goat Boss's movement path and lightly sidestepped its charge.
Then Su Yu drank a Minor Wisdom Potion, increasing his Intelligence by 10 points.
Next, he used an Ice Arrow scroll with his left hand while wielding his wand in his right to cast Lightning Arrow.
- 60- 88
The two attacks struck the Goat Boss, instantly cutting its health by 18%. Its movement speed was also reduced by 20% under the effects of the Ice Arrow scroll.
Moreover, that Lightning Arrow triggered the 40% chance Paralysis effect, leaving the Goat Boss frozen in place and unable to move.
But Su Yu did not continue dealing with the Goat Boss. Instead, he dealt with the group of "sheep underlings" it had brought first.
Compared to their "lead sheep," the "sheep underlings" were utterly fragile.
Su Yu stood still and cast spells in rapid succession.
Lightning Arrow!
Fireball!-
70- 102- 71
The five "sheep underlings" had no chance to get close to Su Yu before turning into flashes of white light under his attacks.
After dealing with the "sheep underlings," Su Yu turned back to focus on the Goat Boss.
While dodging the Goat Boss's attacks, he hurled spell after spell at it.
The Goat Boss's health soon fell below 50%.
The Goat Boss possessed some simple AI. Faced with Su Yu's furious spell attacks, it began to feel fear.
So it stopped attacking Su Yu and turned to run in the opposite direction.
The boss actually wanted to flee!
But how could Su Yu possibly let a cooked duck fly away?
He chased after the Goat Boss, continuing to attack with the Ice Arrow scroll and Lightning Arrow.
Lightning Arrow had only a 0.5-second casting time and tremendous power.
The Goat Boss had only run a few steps when its health fell below 20%.
Knowing that its remaining health was not enough to escape Su Yu's attacks, it suddenly turned around and used the newly cooled-down Leaping Stomp, leaping toward Su Yu in an attempt to stomp him into mince.
But Su Yu had only been injured by the Goat Boss's skill earlier because he had been distracted.
Now that he was focused, it was utterly impossible for the Goat Boss to hurt him.
Su Yu calculated the Goat Boss's landing point and stood outside the range covered by its skill.
Bang!
The Goat Boss's four hooves smashed into the spot where Su Yu had just been standing, unleashing a small Earthquake Wave across several square meters.
But Su Yu happened to be standing just outside the Earthquake Wave's range and did not take the slightest damage.
Then he cast Lightning Arrow again, tossing over a Fireball magic scroll as well.
- 85- 63
"Baa—"
The Goat Boss's health was emptied, and it collapsed helplessly to the ground.
"Ding! You have killed Hillside Sheep Leader (Excellent) Lv4 and gained 80 Experience Points."
Su Yu's experience bar had already been nearly full after killing more than four hundred sheep. Now, the additional 80 Experience Points filled the final gap.
A burst of dazzling golden light flashed around him as he successfully reached Level 3!
After reaching Level 3, Su Yu's Spell Power naturally increased to 28 points.
And after leveling up, he could finally use the Crescent Wand Lv3 dropped by the Black Boar Leader!
Su Yu upgraded the Crescent Wand to Blue Rare Quality.
Crescent Wand Lv3 (Rare) Spell Power: 16 Intelligence +5 Mana Regeneration +5
The Crescent Wand replaced the Novice Staff.
Compared with the Novice Staff, the Crescent Wand gave Su Yu an additional 8 Spell Power, bringing the Spell Power on his status panel to an astonishing 34 points!
"Even a Level 10 mage probably doesn't have a higher status panel than mine!" Su Yu was somewhat excited.
Combined with the high damage output of his Rare-quality Lightning Arrow, other mage players might not have such terrifying damage output even at Level 20!
This was the terrifying effect created by the combination of a Legendary Talent and unlimited resources!
