Snow Chaser impatiently walked to the treasure chest and looked towards Li Yi.
"Can I open it? I have really good luck!"
Li Yi waved his hand, signaling for her to open it.
[System Notification: Treasure chest opening, 30 seconds countdown.]
[System Notification: Treasure chest opening, 29 seconds countdown.]
...
After the countdown ended, the treasure chest shook in its place and a few items dropped.
[Equipment: Rapid Wrist Guard]
[Quality: Excellent

[Effect: When you carry it in your backpack. There would be a higher chance of obtaining double the amount of potions every time you make a potion!]
"Hehe! Look, my luck is very good. This magic shield is mine, right? The other two are yours!!"
Li Yi was also shocked. Her luck was immensely powerful, it was as though she had used golden hands to touch the chest. This was because the other two items that dropped were definitely priceless.
"Thanks!!"
Li Yi immediately put on the wrist guard. His speed had increased by a lot. The most important thing was the item Double Potion's Blessing. It was definitely something that could not be bought with thousands of gold coins.
In the game world, as long as the word 'permanent' was mentioned in an item, it was priceless. In his previous life, he had only seen a few permanent items like those that were sold by others.
He did not expect to see a permanent item in the early stages of the game. It was definitely a fortune that was brought from the heavens. Snow Chaser's luck was amazing.
As soon as he put the item into his backpack, he immediately saw someone walking towards him from afar. His black hair danced wildly in the wind. He had a golden longsword and a purple cloak that swayed like the ocean waves, and there was only killing intent in his eyes. He looked at the two people in front of him as if they were filthy ants.

[Magic Defense: 100]
[Boss Skill: ???]
[Black-iron Skill: ???]
...
This boss only had a little bit more HP than him. However, the boss's recovery speed was definitely not as fast as his. At this moment, there was no need for him to move around too much. He just needed to finish the boss as quickly as possible.
After looking at the attributes of the boss, Snow Chaser widened her eyes and said in shock, "Got thing I picked up the magic shield. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from the boss and would've been instantly killed!"
Li Yi said, "Let's go! Once you open the treasure chest, you can't escape anymore. You must accept the boss fight. Otherwise, the rewards will be taken back by the system!"
Snow Chaser frowned from the information and said, "There's such a thing? This magic shield is too important for me not to use. I don't want it to be taken back."
The boss noticed the two of them and immediately let out a loud roar. His eyes turned blood red as he dashed towards the pair.
"Swish!"
The sword in the boss's hand shined with bright light. Clearly, the quality of this weapon was very high, it could even be comparable to Li Yi's weapon. However, Li Yi was not too sure if the boss would drop this high-quality weapon.
"Be careful!" Snow Chaser shouted.
Li Yi did not retreat at all. He raised his greatsword and clashed his weapon with the boss. With a metallic sound, Li Yi was forced a few steps back by the boss's sword. Then, the boss struck his lower abdomen.
"-645! Weak Point Damage!"
"-32! Counter Damage!"
When players fought with bosses like these, it was a high chance that they would lose. This would include if there was a party that fought the boss too. The boss's attack was not as simple as being forced back by a few steps.
"As expected, his strength is surprisingly great. If I were to compare myself to him, his strength might be lagging just by a little bit! However, I'm not someone to be trifled with!" After Li Yi spoke, he readied his stance for an attack.
"Raging Blood Roar!"
"-1577."
Li Yi's blood flowed through his body and it boosted his body. Gaining this energy, he used this attack to instantly stun the boss on the spot. He went up and aimed at the boss's weak point — his fragile neck — and used a series of skills. He used Combo first, and then Heavy Strike.
"211! Weak Point Damage!"
"522! Weak Point Damage, Critical Strike!"
"450! Weak Point Damage"
A series of skills flurried down and directly took away a large amount of the boss's HP. The heavily injured boss got out of the stun and let out an angry roar.
"Concentrated Blood Strike!"
The boss's right arm suddenly expanded as blood flowed greatly to it, boosting the power of the arm. This caused the blade of the sword to tremble from its deathly grip. Then, a huge bright blood-red sword ferociously swung towards Li Yi.
Li Yi looked at the blood-red sword in front of him, but he did not dodge the attack. This skill probably could not deal much damage to him.
He knew a little about the effect of the boss's skill. This was a skill used by the high-defense warriors in his previous life to lure monsters. However, this skill effect could be extremely useful to him. It would be great if it dropped as a skill book so that he could learn it!
"-301!"
"-15! Counter Damage!"
The skill's damage was not that great, if it was an ordinary person, no matter who it was, they would have been instantly killed unless they used an invincible skill!
While the boss used his skill, Li Yi raised his double-edged steel sword and swung a few times at the opponent's neck.
"-311! Weak Point Damage!"
"-342! Weak Point Damage!"
...
In just a few strikes, the player and the boss clashed head-on in front of Snow Chaser. Neither of them was afraid of the other!
...
Snow Chaser was stunned by the unfolding event. She even suspected that this was a boss-to-boss battle. Having a one-on-one battle with a boss, was it something that a player could do?
If you attack me once, I shall return the favor by threefold!
It should be known that when normal players fought a boss, they would be in a state of near-death. They would have to carefully avoid the boss's skills. If they were not careful, they would be wiped out.
At this moment, Snow Chaser's understanding of the game had completely collapsed. Using Fireball as an attack now would just be deemed useless. The boss did not even have the time to bother with her.
Suddenly, feelings of being ignored harbored in Snow Chaser's heart. This was practically the home ground of the two bosses, and she was just spectating this fight!!
...
Time passed bit by bit, and everything went very smoothly. However, the HP of the second-in-charge was far from the health of the other party. Very soon, the boss was left with a small amount of HP.
At this moment, the boss's prestige was no longer there. No matter how strong the boss was, the boss could not withstand such a fight. His entire body was covered in blood. On the other hand, Li Yi was getting more and more excited as he fought!
Right when the boss was left with 20% HP, the boss quickly jumped back a few times. Then, the boss suddenly raised the blood-red sword in his hand up high. An obscure incantation reverberated in the surrounding area as if there was some important skill that he wanted to use.
"Hehe! You've played enough, it's time for you to go," Li Yi said with excitement in his tone.
Raging Blood Roar, Combo, and Heavy Strike was carried out in a series of attacks and the remaining HP of the boss dropped to a zero. Then, the boss dropped to his knees and fell to the ground.
Defeated.
