Chapter 76: The Power of a Roar
During the relentless battle amidst Blood Sea's excruciating headache, the team of six or seven hundred people was scattered by the Jungle Tiger King. Already infuriated by Wu Shaochen's shameless tactics, the Jungle Tiger King was now confronted with these people stumbling right into its trap.
"Withdraw!" Blood Sea resolutely commanded, realizing they had no chance against this boss.
However, the Jungle Tiger King had no intention of letting them retreat. Having finally encountered a group of people to vent its anger on, it let out a loud roar. A bright light flashed ahead, followed by a pile of equipment scattered on the ground.
"Damn, this scene is shocking," Wu Shaochen leaned against a tree, gloating. He watched as the group of over ten people in the front miraculously escaped unscathed, running frantically in panic towards the distance.
"Thinking they can snatch my boss and run? They really overestimated themselves," Wu Shaochen immediately activated his speed boost and chased after them. Soon, the ground was once again littered with over ten more pieces of equipment.
Looking at the equipment strewn all over the ground, Wu Shaochen sighed, "Ah, this whole group of people came to give me equipment. I feel almost embarrassed." He quickly sent a message to Wu Ziyin, asking her to come and pick up the equipment together. As for the Tiger King, it had long lost its poison and its health was likely fully restored by now. They could easily kill it again without wasting much time.
Meanwhile, at the resurrection point in Jinling City, it was already packed with people. The simultaneous appearance of six or seven hundred people at the resurrection point was quite shocking. Blood Sea, squeezed in the middle, had a face even worse than crying. He finally confirmed that they had actually gone to snatch Dust Seal's boss. Now that they failed to get the boss, their entire guild's elite forces were wiped out, and they had also offended Dust Seal. Their attempt to gain something ended up with nothing but disastrous consequences.
On the side of the Tiger Roar Forest, after Wu Ziyin saw her brother's message, she hurried over. However, when she saw the ground covered in equipment, she froze in disbelief. "Brother, did you kill all the newcomers?"
"It wasn't me who killed them, it was the Tiger King. I already told them not to touch the tiger's butt, but they insisted on doing so," Wu Shaochen said.
Wu Ziyin stuck out her tongue and said, "Then how are we going to pick up all these equipment?"
"We'll pick and choose. Start with the bronze ones, then the iron ones. Use the ones you can and sell the ones you can't at the auction house. Iron ones for 2,000, bronze ones for 30,000. We'll try to sell them quickly. Player-dropped equipment only remains for 10 minutes before it refreshes."
Soon, the auction house in Jinling City had a clearance sale. Black iron equipment with a market price of 3,000 to 5,000 was sold for only 2,000, while bronze equipment worth 40,000 to 80,000 was sold for only 30,000. This immediately sparked a buying frenzy throughout Jinling City, with Blood Sea Guild being the most aggressive in snatching up the equipment. After all, they were the ones who dropped them, so they had to buy them back, even if it was with tears in their eyes.
Although Wu Shaochen and Wu Ziyin were already moving fast, most of the equipment had already refreshed. Listing items in the auction house still took time. Apart from replacing all the white equipment on Wu Ziyin with bronze ones, the two of them finally sold 45 pieces of bronze equipment and 136 pieces of black iron equipment. Although the prices were not high, the quantity was significant. They earned over 1.4 million in one go, leaving Wu Ziyin's face flushed with excitement.
"It feels great to pick up money," Wu Shaochen stretched lazily. Then he said to Wu Ziyin, who was still immersed in excitement, "You go back and pacify those NPCs. We don't want any trouble later. I'll go fight the Tiger King."
"Oh, alright. What about the money we made from selling the equipment?"
"Keep it for yourself."
Mobei City...
In the middle of a desert, thousands of players were besieging a gigantic Desert Scorpion. Since they were in the desert, there were no obstacles on the map, and their numerical advantage was well utilized. However, their lineup was different from the usual. Apart from the occasional replacement of shield bearers, there were fixed output archers and mages, while the rest were mostly assassins. In fact, assassins were the least useful when fighting bosses, but most of these assassins had control skills. They would stealthily approach, unleash a set of control skills, and then retreat, greatly limiting the boss's actions and making it easier for the others to attack. Although they hardly broke through the boss's defenses, the Desert Scorpion's health was decreasing at a rate of thousands of points per second.
These people were naturally from the Hell's Gate Guild, the largest guild in Mobei City.
"Boss, in another 5 minutes, this Golden Boss will be almost dead. We will definitely be the first guild to kill a Golden Boss," the Master of Hell's Hall exclaimed excitedly. They had been fighting for over an hour to reach this boss.
"Yes, despite our significant losses, it will be worth it to get the first kill on a Golden Boss. Not only will we obtain Golden equipment, but also attribute point rewards," the Envoy of Hell nodded, his face also filled with excitement.
Just as all the members of Hell's Gate were filled with excitement and anticipation, a server-wide announcement made them all furious and want to stomp their feet.
"Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Dust Seal for killing the Golden-tier boss, the Enchanted Jungle Tiger King. As the first player to kill a Golden-tier boss on the server, the system rewards you with 2000 reputation points, 50 gold coins, 40 free attribute points. This announcement is hereby made!"
"Hell's Envoy" had a terrifyingly dark expression on his face. Those who knew him well understood that he was on the verge of exploding.
At the same time, the reactions of those who heard this server announcement varied.
"Dust Seal is still amazing!"
"Yeah, it seems like he gets all the first kills."
"I heard Dust Seal always solo kills. I can't even imagine how well-equipped he must be. Here, our big guild struggles even with a Silver boss. A Golden boss? I can't even fathom it."
Strong players in various main cities also stopped what they were doing. All guilds were actively searching for Golden bosses, hoping to secure the first kill. However, just like how Silver bosses were rare below level 20, Golden bosses below level 30 were also extremely rare. Moreover, areas above level 30 were inaccessible to players at this stage. As a result, no one had been able to secure the first kill on a Golden boss. It was unexpected that Dust Seal would take it.
"This Dust Seal must have gained over a hundred attribute points just from the first kill reward. I'll have to get to know this person better once the city teleportation array is open," the Divine King murmured to himself.
Jinling City...
Blood Sea Boundless smiled wryly upon hearing this notification. Others might not know, but he was well aware of the terror of this Tiger King. It could wipe out their entire group with just one skill. This Dust Seal's strength was more than just abnormal. Offending someone like him, was he out of his mind? He didn't even know if there was any chance of redemption.
On the side of Proud World Heroes, the expression on Proud World's face was extremely ugly. Dust Seal's strength was increasing, which was definitely not a good thing for him.
Tiger Roar Forest...
Wu Shaochen listened to the string of system notifications with a joyful mood.
"Ding! Congratulations on killing the Golden-tier boss, the Enchanted Jungle Tiger King. You have gained 1000 reputation points, 60,000 experience points, and your pet, Silver Wolf, has gained 40,000 experience points."
"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up. HP +80, MP +40, gain 20 free attribute points. Current level: lv24: 22,242/700,000."
"Ding! Talent ability triggered: Poison damage +1, stackable layers of poison +1. Current poison damage is 1101 points, stackable layers are 5."
"Ding! Immortal Body in effect. Maximum HP increased by 1 point. Current Immortal Body has increased maximum HP by 5149 points."
Meanwhile, Wu Ziyin, standing not far away, was bathed in golden light three times in a row. She directly leveled up from level 10 to level 13. When the Tiger King was close to death, Wu Shaochen had called Wu Ziyin over. The experience gained in a team in the Divine Oracle was distributed equally among the members, without any allocation based on contributions. So even though Wu Ziyin hadn't done anything, she still received a share of 100,000 experience, instantly leveling up by 3 levels. She was extremely excited by this rapid leveling speed.
However, Wu Shaochen, at this moment, looked at the pile of dropped items on the ground with an excited expression. He loved this feeling. He quickly picked up everything on the ground and eagerly began to examine them. In total, there were 6 gold coins and 72 silver coins. There were 2 pieces of golden equipment, 4 pieces of silver equipment, and 5 pieces of bronze equipment. There was no iron equipment, probably because higher-level monsters didn't bother dropping low-tier gear. In addition to these, he also obtained a scroll, a bottle of special potion, a gem, a fruit with attribute-enhancing properties, and a crystal-like object. It was quite a big loot, but unfortunately, there was no Double Drop Rate Scroll.
