Red-Eyed Rabbit Boss

Southwest Forest.

Mom Is Not Home and his six teammates hid in the tall grass, watching the massive Red-Eyed Rabbit in the distance with extreme caution, not daring to make a single sound.

That Red-Eyed Rabbit was more than ten times larger than the ones they had encountered before, crouching there like a giant grizzly bear.

Name: Red-Eyed Rabbit (BOSS)
Level: 1
HP: 330/330

Mom Is Not Home had originally felt that his luck was quite good today; the team had hunted over a dozen Red-Eyed Rabbits, and each person had earned two points of Core Power.

After yesterday's events, their team had planned to return to the Novice Village early, but they hadn't expected an accident to occur.

A Red-Eyed Rabbit BOSS was blocking the only path back to the village.

Fortunately, they were vigilant and spotted the Red-Eyed Rabbit BOSS immediately, which was why they hadn't alerted it.

The group hid in the grass, originally intending to wait for the Red-Eyed Rabbit to leave before heading back to the village.

However, as the sky grew darker and darker, the Red-Eyed Rabbit BOSS showed no signs of leaving, and the group finally began to panic.

A level 1 Wild Boss was equivalent to a level 3 Fierce Beast; since they were only level 1, how could they possibly defeat it?

Thus, they thought of calling for help.

Luckily, everyone had added each other as friends the previous night, allowing them to send distress signals through the game interface.

The question then became, who should they ask for help?

Mom Is Not Home's first instinct was to ask Wind Snow Traveler for help.

Although Wind Snow Traveler had previously said that no one was obligated to help them, hadn't he still come when Bu Dong asked for help yesterday?

But this idea was quickly rejected by his other teammates.

One reason was that someone had just asked Wind Snow Traveler for help yesterday, and they were afraid he would be impatient if someone asked again today.

The second reason was that it took half an hour to get from the Novice Village to this location, and who could guarantee that the Red-Eyed Rabbit BOSS wouldn't discover them within that half hour?

After some deliberation, they decided to ask the Xiao Fan Team for help.

Northwest Forest was only ten minutes away, and since the Xiao Fan Team could kill a level 4 Fierce Beast, they should be able to handle a level 1 BOSS.

"Will the Jiu Chen Team actually come?"

Bu Dong whispered. After all, they had abandoned the Xiao Fan Team when they came to rescue them yesterday.

"Han the Person said they are already on their way here, so just wait."

Mom Is Not Home rolled his eyes; he was also quite disdainful of his team's behavior yesterday.

"That's good then!"

The group continued to lie in the grass, waiting for rescue without moving an inch.

As the sky grew darker, the atmosphere in the team became increasingly heavy, and everyone's heart was pounding.

Just then, the figures of the Xiao Fan Team finally appeared from another direction in the forest.

"They're here!" Mom Is Not Home stood up excitedly and immediately sent a party request to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan clicked reject without a second thought.

"You guys stay back. We'll handle this BOSS."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Mom Is Not Home's team was naturally delighted; they had no desire to fight a level 1 Fierce Beast BOSS, and they had only tried to form a party out of fear that the Xiao Fan Team would blame them later for not helping.

The group hurriedly retreated a hundred meters.

The Red-Eyed Rabbit BOSS had been crouching peacefully, but upon seeing the Xiao Fan Team appear, its crimson eyes swept over them instantly.

Han the Person checked the Red-Eyed Rabbit's information and found it was about the same as a Green Wood Wolf. Without needing Xiao Fan's command, he clapped his hands with ease.

"Brothers, let's get to work."

"Eat my spear!"

As soon as Han the Person finished speaking, Zai Zai rushed out first, and the other three moved forward in perfect sync, kiting the aggro while dealing damage.

In ten seconds, the Red-Eyed Rabbit's health bar was depleted, and it collapsed to the ground.

This scene, witnessed by Mom Is Not Home and his group, felt like a dream!

The fluid operations, the tacit coordination, the damage, the positioning, the kiting.

Everything was so unfamiliar, yet so logical.

The group was too shocked to speak. At this moment, they finally believed that the level 4 Fierce Beast from yesterday had indeed been hunted by the Xiao Fan Team themselves.

Yet they couldn't understand: they were all novice Players in Zone 18, so why was the gap so large?

It was as if they weren't even playing the same game!

What exactly was wrong?

On Xiao Fan's side, the moment the Red-Eyed Rabbit Wild Boss collapsed, the system's voice rang out abruptly.

Congratulations to your team for killing the level 1 Wild Boss Red-Eyed Rabbit. Each team member receives an additional Boss reward of 10 Core Power.

Seeing the system prompt, Xiao Fan couldn't help but widen his eyes and look up at the other four.

Garfield Without Fat and the other three were also looking at him in shock.

"Did everyone receive it?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Yeah." Garfield Without Fat and the others nodded frantically.

Killing a Boss actually provided an additional Core Power reward!

Everyone was overjoyed; this trip hadn't been in vain!

Xiao Fan was also pleasantly surprised. When he killed a Boss in the Cloud Sea Forest during his exam, it didn't give any extra rewards at all, only double the Core Power of a normal Fierce Beast.

He hadn't expected the rewards for killing a Boss after officially entering the game to be so generous.

He knew it; how could there be no extra rewards for fighting a Boss!

10 points of Core Power was already considered very generous for drops in Cloud Sea.

And it was ten points per person! That added up to 50 points in total.

And this was just a level 1 Wild Boss; if it were a level 2 or level 3, would the rewards be even more bountiful?

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's gaze toward Mom Is Not Home and his group softened significantly.

"If you encounter a Boss in the wild in the future, call us anytime." Xiao Fan looked at Mom Is Not Home and his group.

Seeing that Mom Is Not Home and the others were still dazed, Garfield Without Fat frowned: "Hey, our boss is talking to you."

Hearing his voice, the Mom Is Not Home team finally snapped out of their shock and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, we understand. Thank you, big brothers."

They were more than happy to have the Xiao Fan Team help clear out Bosses.

The humble attitude of Mom Is Not Home and his group made Han the Person and the others exceptionally satisfied.

They held their heads high, looking smug.

That's right! We are just that powerful.

On the way back to the village, Han the Person tallied up the day's gains. Excluding the 10 points of Core Power per person from the Red-Eyed Rabbit Boss, they had harvested a total of 198 points of Core Power today.

Each person received 39 points of Core Power, and the remaining 3 points were given to Xiao Fan as usual.

Including the Boss's extra reward, today's haul was nearly five times more than yesterday's!

Garfield Without Fat and the others were so happy their mouths were practically stretching to their ears.

Going to the Northwest Forest was definitely the right choice.

Xiao Fan, however, was not very satisfied with this result.

"Too slow, still too slow."

Fifty points a day meant it would take over 200 days to reach level 5. And that was only if the Core Power was used solely for leveling up.

"Sigh."

Xiao Fan sighed inwardly, but he knew now was not the time to be anxious.

"Tomorrow, I'll strive to lead them to level 3, and then we can go take a look at the inner area of the Southwest Forest."
