The Spider Queen's HP had already dropped to 8%.
And the price they had paid?
The Troubled Times Guild's five hundred-plus players, who had started at an average level of around 7, had all been knocked down to level 6!
That was right. Every last one of them had lost a level!
What did losing a level mean during the beginner protection period below level 10?
It meant that every member of the Troubled Times Guild had died more than ten times on average!
The staggering cost left all the spectators shaking their heads.
"Wang Junjie really went all in this time!"
"Yeah, paying this much to kill one boss! It's unbelievable!"
"What can you do? His family's worth tens of billions. The richest can do whatever they want!"
"Wang Junjie's an only child. His mom doesn't care how much he spends! His family has more money than they could ever use up! If I had as much money as Wang Junjie, I think I'd be even crazier!"
But Wang Junjie didn't begrudge a thing.
Watching the boss with only a few percent of its HP left, he could see his efforts were finally about to pay off.
Wang Junjie couldn't help bursting into wild, excited laughter!
"Hahaha! Almost there!"
"The boss is almost mine!"
"Once I take down this boss, I'll be number one on the whole server!"
"Then I'll fucking slaughter anyone who stands in my way, god or Buddha! Mo Shou Cheng Gui, I'll make you eat shit until you're stuffed!"
Meanwhile, in the shadows.
Lin Mo began itching to move.
But he knew: Now isn't the best time yet. Wait a little longer!
So Lin Mo patiently waited another few minutes.
Only when the Spider Queen's HP reached 3% did he act.
"The sheep's been fattened up."
"Time to slaughter it!"
With that, Lin Mo raised the Brave Golden Bow.
Like a reaper coming to claim a life, he advanced through the darkness.
Wang Junjie remained completely oblivious.
He was excitedly jogging in place to warm up.
Just as he was preparing to wait for his men to whittle the boss down to 1 HP before stepping in to land the final blow.
A lackey beside him seemed to notice something. He pointed into the darkness behind them, his face twisting with terror as he let out a stunned cry-
"Mo... Mo... Mo..."
"Mo your fucking ass! What are you stammering for?" Wang Junjie slapped the lackey to the ground. "You're acting like Mo Shou Cheng Gui's fucking here!"
"Mo Shou Cheng Gui!!!" Even after being knocked to the ground, the lackey stubbornly pointed behind them and hysterically shouted the full name!
In a flash!
Wang Junjie's expression darkened on the spot.
And when he turned around in disbelief and actually saw Lin Mo slowly approaching through the darkness behind them.
His face went pale with shock!
"Motherfucker!"
"What's Mo Shou Cheng Gui doing here?!"
"Wasn't he offline???"
"Fucking Su Yingxia! You dared to screw me over!"
At that moment, Wang Junjie felt as though the sky had fallen!
He turned back again and saw that the Spider Queen had only 3% HP left.
How Lin Mo had appeared here no longer mattered.
What mattered was that Wang Junjie now understood Lin Mo's intentions!
"Fuck! Stop him! Hurry up and stop him!"
"Don't let Mo Shou Cheng Gui get near the boss!!!"
Wang Junjie pointed at Lin Mo and roared.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Dozens of Troubled Times Guild players on either side grabbed their swords and charged at Lin Mo!
But!
A bunch of level 6 players without any decent equipment.
They wanted to stop a level 11 classed archer decked out in god-tier gold gear?
What a pipe dream!
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
The instant the Troubled Times players reached him, they attacked, dozens of blades slashing down onto Lin Mo at once.
A moment later, a mass of mandatory "-1" damage numbers popped up over Lin Mo's head!
The Troubled Times players stared in disbelief.
Lin Mo remained perfectly composed. He had expected this outcome all along.
Over 400 defense.
It would have been a miracle if they could hurt him!
He waited until the Troubled Times players all gained gray names for attacking him without provocation.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Lin Mo raised his bow and unleashed a rapid volley.
-1139 (critical hit)!
-1176 (critical hit)!
-1211 (critical hit)!
Not a single person could withstand that overwhelming damage.
Whoever the Brave Golden Bow shot died!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Dozens of pillars of white light shot into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, every Troubled Times player who had tried to stop Lin Mo was killed!
Wang Junjie completely panicked.
"Motherfucker!"
"Stop him! Fucking stop him!"
There weren't enough Troubled Times members left.
Wang Junjie turned his gaze directly toward the unaffiliated players watching nearby.
He shouted at them, "Who'll help me stop Mo Shou Cheng Gui?!"
Yet not a single person around him dared to make a move.
After all, Lin Mo was number one on the Heaven Ranking.
Who the fuck dared to stop him?
But Wang Junjie's next words exploded through the crowd like a bomb-
"Anyone here today! Stop Mo Shou Cheng Gui for me, and I'll pay you fifty thousand yuan every time you die!!!"
"Holy shit!"
"Fifty thousand yuan!"
"That's my whole fucking annual salary!"
"Sorry, Mo Shou Cheng Gui! We really don't mean to offend you!"
"But Wang Junjie's offering way too much!"
"Everyone, charge!"
As they spoke.
Unaffiliated players from every direction, whether they knew Wang Junjie or not, swarmed toward Lin Mo!
They flooded the scene!
At the sight, Lin Mo couldn't help frowning slightly.
He had deliberately waited until most of the Troubled Times Guild's members had been killed before making his move.
But he genuinely hadn't accounted for Wang Junjie winning over even the uninvolved bystanders in an instant!
Within moments, hundreds upon hundreds of unaffiliated players surrounded Lin Mo, leaving no gaps, and attacked him from all sides!
Seeing Lin Mo trapped in the crowd with no way out.
The worry vanished from Wang Junjie's face, and he burst into wild laughter again. "So what if you're here?"
"You think you can fight me? Mo Shou Cheng Gui, you're still too green!"
"Figure out how to deal with them before you try stealing my boss! Hahaha!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Lin Mo fired arrow after arrow, dropping one unaffiliated player after another.
But they kept coming, like a swarm of cockroaches that wouldn't die!
Surrounded by wave after wave of them, Lin Mo couldn't break through alone!
In the distance, the boss lost another percentage point of HP, leaving it with only 2%.
Just as Lin Mo finally began to worry, with no way to turn things around.
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
A group of players suddenly charged in from somewhere behind him. Without a word, they cut down the unaffiliated players massed at Lin Mo's back!
Lin Mo turned around.
He saw a very familiar face, sword raised high, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Brothers, charge with me!"
"Help Mo Shou Cheng Gui break through!!!"
Seeing the newcomer, Lin Mo's heart jolted.
That's...
Qin Feng?
