Of course, Lin Yi had no idea that his wildly spectacular move—
had shocked so many people in Canglan City.
Before long, he flew high above Canglan City, where his view was wide open.
The entire city lay spread out beneath him.
Even the surrounding Leveling Zones were clearly visible.
At a glance, Lin Yi spotted a barren region hundreds of kilometers south of Canglan City.
It radiated a gloomy, sinister aura.
That should be the Land of Silence.
Lin Yi controlled his Wind Wings and began flying toward the Land of Silence at full speed.
Meanwhile.
Within the Land of Silence.
The entire Land of Silence was anything but silent at this moment.
Large numbers of Class Users, like sharks that had caught the scent of blood, were converging on the central area.
That was the spawn point of the World BOSS, the Necromancer Knight.
However, they encountered heavy resistance.
"Thunder Guild has claimed this area. Unaffiliated people, step aside!"
"The area ahead is restricted by Star Sea Guild. Leave immediately!"
Countless Class Users dressed in various guild uniforms stopped every unaffiliated Class User who dared approach the central area on the spot, refusing to let them get even a little closer.
"Damn it, do you own the World BOSS or something?!"
"Yeah! What gives you the right to keep us out?!"
The guild members responsible for blocking them revealed savage grins.
"That's right. Thunder Guild does own it. Why don't you try forcing your way through?"
Faced with such unreasonable tyranny,
countless Class Users were furious but dared not speak out.
Thunder Guild and Star Sea Guild were the two major Professional Guilds in Canglan City.
These two guilds often marked off territories in popular Leveling Zones.
They were reserved solely for their own guild members to level up in, with no concern for whether other Class Users could continue leveling.
Some people had tried to resist.
However, the leaders of both guilds were powerful Class Users at the Fourth Turn and close to the Fifth Turn. Their subordinates were elite and numerous as well.
Thus, the situation had continued until now.
With the Necromancer Knight about to spawn, the two guilds naturally intended to monopolize and split all the Experience Points and drops between themselves.
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, countless roaring collisions of skills erupted from the center of the encirclement.
Everyone knew.
Death Knight Ravenardale had spawned!
The elites of Thunder Guild and Star Sea Guild had already begun fighting the BOSS.
But this time, something seemed different.
Because the sounds of clashing skills quickly died down.
Then, waves of black plague overflowing with an intense aura of death began spreading across the entire Land of Silence.
For a moment, the Class Users from the two guilds stationed on the outskirts to bar others from entering all changed expression.
They had received distress messages from their guild members through the guild channel!
"Something's wrong! The boss is calling for help! Hurry over!"
In an instant, everyone from both guilds rushed toward the center of the Land of Silence.
The Class Users they had driven to the outskirts immediately lit up with delight!
They all surged after them at once!
There was one biggest difference between a World BOSS and a Dungeon BOSS.
The Experience Points and Skill Point rewards after a kill were distributed according to kill contribution.
The more damage you contributed in the battle against a World BOSS, the more Skill Points and Experience Points you received.
Only the dropped items depended on who landed the final blow.
The crowd rushed mightily into the center of the Land of Silence.
What they saw made everyone feel as if a giant hand named death had seized their throats, leaving them unable to make a sound!
Countless Class Users clad in Star Sea Guild and Thunder Guild uniforms lay sprawled across the ground, frozen in poses of fleeing outward, amid streams of Plague Black Water.
Their weapons were broken, their faces twisted in agony, and they had died with their eyes open.
They had clearly endured unimaginable torment before dying.
"Guild Leader!"
"Boss!!"
Among the pile of corpses, the members of the two guilds who had been guarding the outskirts even saw their own guild leaders!
That made it even harder for them to believe!
It was only a level 60 World BOSS!
They had killed it dozens of times already.
How could this have happened?!
The entire group had been wiped out?!
Before they could think any further,
the next moment, the heavy sound of horse hooves crushing the earth rang out.
They saw the culprit behind this scene.
A heavily armored knight clad in pitch-black battle armor held a greatsword four or five meters long as he rode a Skeletal Warhorse with not a shred of flesh on its body.
Ghost Blue flames flickered in the hollow eye sockets of both horse and rider.
Death Knight Ravenardale had grown more than ten times larger than usual.
Everywhere he passed was stained with black plague water.
"Run!!"
"He... he seems to have undergone Mutation!"
Everyone felt Zhan Li rise from the depths of their souls!
Rumor had it that World BOSSES and Dungeon BOSSES had an extremely low chance of being affected by Abyssal Power and entering a state of Mutation.
In that state, the BOSS's level and skills would receive terrifying enhancements.
Many bosses that had originally been only level 30 or 40 could ultimately exceed level 200!
The result would be the destruction of entire teams, or even entire groups!
Run!
Run now!
That was the only thought left in everyone's mind.
At this moment, the identities of hunter and prey had been reversed.
The Necromancer Knight who had died countless times beneath their blades, swords, and magic—
returned from the grave as one of the dead.
Death Knight Ravenardale yanked on the reins.
The next moment, the Skeletal Warhorse let out a neigh. Its four hooves stomped down, and Necromancy Magic rippled outward.
The dry soil beneath countless people's feet was instantly submerged beneath endless black plague water.
Within that black water, it seemed as though countless dead had stretched out bony claws, seizing the ankles of every Class User trying to flee.
They sank into the mud swamp of death, unable to move even an inch!
And as the black water rippled outward,
an even more scalp-numbing sight appeared before them.
The corpses that had been lying scattered across the ground—
were now filled with necromantic power.
They rose to their feet once more.
They picked up their broken swords and blades, chanting familiar magical incantations.
Only this time, they fought for the Necromancer Knight.
Black Mist blotted out the sky.
Black plague acid rain fell from the heavens, carrying an incomparably dense aura of death.
Everyone fell into despair!
They wailed. They cried out.
But they could not make a single sound.
The curtain of rain obscured everything, and the Land of Silence was about to return to silence once more.
"Roar—!!!"
Just as everyone was about to be dragged into the black water and drown completely,
they suddenly heard an incomparably resounding Dragon's Roar.
The next moment, an incomparably scorching sensation completely drove away the chill of death.
The Black Mist and rain curtain in the sky both came to an abrupt stop.
Then, bright orange firelight tore the Black Mist apart completely!
A dragon!
A terrifying colossal dragon wreathed in blazing flames and radiating endless heat appeared in the sky!
The dragon breath pouring from its jaws cascaded down like a waterfall!
Death Knight Ravenardale raised his head.
Within those pupils like ghostfire was reflected the figure above the heavens, behind the Skyfire Dragon, shrouded in endless gale-force winds!
