### Chapter 42: The Powerful and Terrifying Wolf King, the Way to Kill the Wolf King
Deep in the Valley of the Wolf King, Su Yu stood behind a large tree, observing the **Howling Moon Wolf King** in the distance.
**Howling Moon Wolf King**
**Level:** 10 (Rare)
**HP:** 140,000
The **Howling Moon Wolf King** resembled a giant tundra wolf, towering at a shoulder height of three meters and stretching 4.6 meters in length. Its most notable feature was its staggering HP—140,000—making it a force to be reckoned with.
In **Evolution**, ordinary bosses typically possess HP about ten times that of regular monsters. Good-quality bosses range from twelve to thirty times, while rare bosses can go up to a hundred times. However, the **Howling Moon Wolf King** was special; as an active siege-type boss, its HP had skyrocketed to a thousand times that of regular monsters, categorizing it among the top epic bosses.
Surrounding the Wolf King were twelve **Elite Wolf King Guards** (Level 10, HP 1,400), also considered common bosses. Su Yu's expression turned serious as he assessed the formidable foes before him.
The **Howling Moon Wolf King** was not something he could tackle alone.
Its massive size indicated it would likely be incredibly fast. Even if Su Yu managed to slow it down with ice spells, the Wolf King could easily catch up to him. The strategy of "kiting" was not feasible; if it got close, one swipe of its paw could send him crashing back to the real world.
Though he might evade a few of its attacks with experience, the sheer HP of the Wolf King made it impossible to guarantee he wouldn't take damage over a prolonged battle. Even a single hit would be fatal.
"Let the players in the village handle it," Su Yu mused, but doubt crept in. Could the players truly defeat such a beast?
In his previous life, he had seen many monster sieges in novice villages and main cities, where success rates hovered around fifty-five percent. But this time was different; the wolf king had attacked the village much earlier than expected.
"If it weren't for me, this monster siege might not have triggered until tomorrow night, when the players would have leveled up to seven or eight. Then, they might have stood a chance."
Now, however, most players were still around level four, while the Wolf King was a level six menace. The chances of success in this siege were dismally low—at least ninety-five percent failure.
With a sigh, he decided to notify the relevant departments, like Emperor Blood and Zhantian. He hoped they could influence other players to take refuge in different novice villages.
As he turned to leave the Wolf King Valley, he noticed a steep cliff near the entrance. His eyes narrowed. He recognized it from when he had completed the **Annie's Revenge** quest, where Xuehualuo had suggested using the cliff to avoid the lethal blow from the **Star Casting Dragon King**.
Though he had dismissed the idea then, it now sparked a bold thought: perhaps he could use this cliff to kill the Wolf King!
Su Yu's spirits soared as he realized he had found a potential strategy to deal with the boss. The monotony of grinding levels had made him restless, but this challenge reignited his excitement.
However, before confronting the Wolf King, he needed to prepare adequately. He required better equipment to increase his movement speed—ideally, gear that would double his speed. He also needed a **Frostbolt** skill scroll. Without them, he wouldn't last long against the Wolf King.
Determined, Su Yu dashed back to Nolan Village.
When he arrived, the village was bustling with players drawn in by the monster siege. They came from other villages, eager to join the chaos and excitement.
Navigating through the throngs, he finally squeezed into the warehouse.
Once inside, he let out a breath of relief. The warehouse was an independent space, allowing him to shop without the crowd's interference.
Opening the commodity search interface, he quickly entered keywords for **equipment**, **movement speed**, and **chest armor**.
A long list of options appeared, mostly leather armor ranging from levels three to five.
For instance, the **Traveler Leather Jacket (Level 3, Excellent)** provided +8 defense and +0.3 movement speed.
While the increase in movement speed was minimal—ranging from +0.2 to +0.4—these pieces were affordable, costing between 10 to 30 psionic coins each.
Considering his wealth, Su Yu decided to buy the five pieces with the highest movement speed boosts.
"Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!"
He swiftly acquired five breastplates and then applied the **Pointing Star Hand** to each one.
"Ding! Do you want to spend 300 psionic coins to strengthen **Wind Whisper Chest (Level 3, Excellent)**?"
"Sure!"
"Ding! **Wind Whisper Chest (Level 3, Excellent)** quality has been upgraded to **Wind Whisper Chest (Level 3, Rare)**, gaining +5 defense and the additional attribute: Agility +3."
One down, but not quite what he needed.
"Ding! Do you want to spend 500 psionic coins to strengthen **Red Wolf Leather Jacket (Level 5, Excellent)**?"
"Sure!"
"Ding! **Red Wolf Leather Jacket (Level 5, Excellent)** quality has been upgraded to **Red Wolf Leather Jacket (Level 5, Rare)**, gaining +5 defense and the additional attribute: Attack Speed +10%."
With each enhancement, he rolled the dice on random attributes, hoping for double movement speed.
As he continued strengthening his gear, he found himself up to the eighth piece.
"Ding! **Wind-like Leather Armor (Level 4, Excellent)** has been upgraded to **Wind-like Leather Armor (Level 4, Rare)**, gaining +5 defense and the additional attribute: Movement Speed +0.4."
"Finally!" Su Yu exhaled, feeling a surge of satisfaction.
**Wind-like Leather Armor (Level 4, Rare)**
**Defense:** +9
**Movement Speed:** +0.4
With this enhanced equipment, Su Yu felt prepared to face the **Howling Moon Wolf King** and possibly turn the tide of the impending siege. The challenge awaited him, and he was ready to rise to it.
