The Thorns Entangle skill wasn't a hard crowd control; it was a targeted spell.In other words, it could be dodged with proper positioning.The main reasons Lin Tianhao had been hit before were his carelessness and the fact that three Treant Leaders had simultaneously used Thorns Entangle, cutting off his escape routes.Now, with Lin Tianhao's heightened focus, he could anticipate the casting animation of Thorns Entangle and move accordingly.Combined with his high damage output and Lightning Leap, the number of Twisted Treants steadily decreased.With fewer Treants, Lin Tianhao's farming became even smoother.Finally, all the Twisted Treants in the area were defeated."Ding! You have reached level 9. Free attribute points +5."Leveling up once per stage was incredibly fast.And with the Resurgence skill, Lin Tianhao's health had fully recovered.…At that moment, in the Floating Mountain Club's offline meeting room, a video was playing on a large screen.It was the recording of Lin Tianhao soloing the Twisted Treant King.A young man stood at the head of the meeting table."You've all seen this video. Divine Wolf, you're an archer yourself. What are your thoughts?"Floating Divine Wolf immediately stood up. "The damage numbers are high, but his technique is truly terrifying.""Even with lower damage, he could still solo this boss with his skill," he asserted.Floating Madman chimed in from the side, "Young Master, why are you showing us this video?""To get your analysis. If I want to recruit him, what would be a suitable offer? I offered him ten million annually, but he rejected it without hesitation."Floating Divine Wolf frowned. "With this level of skill, he can't be a nobody. He might have been earning tens of millions, or even more, in the traditional gaming era."After all, there had been a legendary archer in traditional gaming who earned over eighty million annually."Given Twilight of the Gods' current popularity, his skill and stats justify a hundred million annual salary," Floating Divine Wolf stated."Considering the overall influence he'd have on our guild and his ability to drive early-game progress, we could even offer between one hundred and fifty million and two hundred million annually."Floating Divine Wolf's assessment was objective.He, as the guild leader of Floating Mountain, only earned a little over twenty million annually.But Lin Tianhao's skill had truly impressed him."Alright, I understand," Floating Mountain nodded. "Guild Leader Divine Wolf, organize the members who are still in the newbie village to farm the Twisted Treant dungeon. Also, if possible, have every player in each newbie village farm the level 10 Twisted Treants."Floating Divine Wolf nodded in agreement.After that, Floating Mountain cleared his throat. "Also, let me show you my current stats."He proudly displayed the stats of his Treant set.Floating Divine Wolf was astonished."A total health increase of five thousand eight hundred, such high armor and magic resistance, and the set bonuses…"Floating Divine Wolf gasped. "Young Master, how much did this set cost you?""Four hundred thousand, plus the cost of getting me to level ten.""It was originally three hundred thousand, but I added these two Black Iron pieces," Floating Mountain explained.Floating Divine Wolf was dumbfounded. "That's so cheap?"Indeed, it was cheap.A single level 10 elite equipment piece was worth around twenty thousand.Thirteen pieces would easily fetch four hundred thousand.And it was a set, including the cost of power-leveling to level 10."Snow Emperor sold it to you?""Yes.""It seems he's not short on money. Otherwise, he could have gotten a much better price," Floating Divine Wolf commented, assuming Lin Tianhao was simply wealthy and didn't care about the money.He had no idea that Lin Tianhao urgently needed the cash, which was why he hadn't haggled.Besides, in five years, when the Great Calamity began, real-world currency would become worthless.Twisted Jungle!Lin Tianhao entered the third stage.There, he saw four Twisted Treant Kings.Twisted Treant King (Black Iron Boss): Level 10Health: 250,000+Attack: 598Skills: Summon Treants, Resurgence, Vine Lash, Thorns Shield, Vine CageThe skills hadn't changed, but the stats had increased significantly.And there were four of them.Glancing at his current health, Lin Tianhao immediately attacked.Thwip!Critical Hit!-1685.As expected of Black Iron bosses in a Hell difficulty dungeon, their defense was high. Even with the three hundred attack boost from his Thunderclap Bow, the critical hit damage wasn't very high.Most of the damage still came from Lin Tianhao's Hand of Heavenly Punishment.The Twisted Treant Kings' Vine Lash was different from the normal Treants' Entangle.It was a near-instantaneous hard crowd control skill, with vines erupting directly from the player's feet, making it difficult to react.With his current attack speed, Lin Tianhao could only interrupt two Twisted Treant Kings' attacks at most.But he was facing four.The battle began.The four Twisted Treant Kings, showing some intelligence, surrounded Lin Tianhao.At the same time, they used Vine Cage.Fortunately, Vine Cage had the longest casting time and was the easiest to interrupt.Lin Tianhao easily interrupted their skills.However, since they were casting simultaneously, they blocked his retreat.Instead of retreating, Lin Tianhao advanced, which was exactly what they wanted.-598.-597.-598.…As Lin Tianhao moved forward, he entered the Twisted Treant Kings' attack range.The four Twisted Treant Kings attacked simultaneously, dealing over two thousand damage to Lin Tianhao.After the skill effects wore off, he retreated again, creating distance.Then, he resumed kiting.As long as he wasn't chain-controlled by their Vine Lash, his current health and the Resurgence skill made him nearly impossible to kill.Kiting and attacking, he finally brought down the first Twisted Treant King.The remaining battle was much easier.Before completing the dungeon, killing monsters only granted experience, not item drops. This saved Lin Tianhao the trouble of looting.He stepped into the fourth stage, the final stage of the Twisted Jungle dungeon.As soon as he entered, he saw a massive tree, hundreds of meters tall, with countless vines swaying in the wind.It didn't look like a boss, just a large tree.Nine-Headed Hydra Tree (Bronze): Level 10Health: 500,000+Attack: 1358Skill: Spring of RejuvenationLin Tianhao's eyes narrowed. This boss only had one skill!
