Chapter 1

【System: Entered the map 'Witch's Forest'!】

【System: The unfamiliar forest is filled with a chilling cold, your magic resistance has decreased by 20!】

Chen Bing stepped through a faint misty wall alone and received two system notifications in succession.

"Is this the legendary Witch's Forest?" Chen Bing looked around curiously.

Before him was a dense broadleaf forest, towering about thirty to forty meters high, deep and silent. In the distance, a light gray mist floated among the trees, and palm-sized withered leaves occasionally drifted down from the tall trees, landing silently.

A narrow path wide enough for two people extended forward from under Chen Bing's feet, winding through the dark forest. The path was covered with a thick layer of withered leaves. As Chen Bing walked forward, his leather shoes made a soft crunching sound on the soft leaves.

Large flocks of crows with pitch-black feathers perched on the branches of the tall trees, their sharp black eyes watching Chen Bing with curiosity and vigilance. When Chen Bing's gaze swept over them, they let out hoarse caws and scattered in all directions.

Compared to the bustling maps outside, the Witch's Forest was filled with a desolate atmosphere and the traces of time, telling the story of its former glory.

Chen Bing moved forward slowly on the winding path like an ant. No monsters jumped out to block his way. The Witch's Forest was a legendary hidden map, difficult to enter, but very safe, being the final location of the quest, so there would be no more battles...

Swoosh!

A sharp whistling sound came, and Chen Bing instinctively bent down and rolled. A thick bone spear whizzed past above his body.

If he hadn't dodged quickly, the wrist-thick bone spear would have pierced him through!

What about the trust between people? What about the promise that there would be no more battles in the Witch's Forest?

The quest information came from a well-known game forum, where a veteran player kindly revealed that after entering the Witch's Forest, one could easily complete the quest by following the path, without encountering any more monsters.

The world is deteriorating, and society is dangerous!

No more monsters? What about the bone spear that attacked him?

Nordlin, the Lich King!

A name so red it was almost purple, an 80-level boss, 15 levels higher than Chen Bing!

"This is a place not to be violated. Intruder, die!"

The Lich King had a terrifying appearance, a gaunt and emaciated body. The bone spear missed Chen Bing, and he raised his dry hands, letting out a hoarse and sharp roar.

The dark forest was filled with the sound of cracking, and countless skeletons emerged from the ground covered with withered leaves. Within Chen Bing's field of view, there were countless skeletons, each between 60 and 70 levels.

"Damn! Is this a place where people can live? But I'm not a pushover!"

Chen Bing was startled by the Lich King and the thousands of skeleton army.

The path behind him was blocked, and there was nowhere to run. If it were other monsters, Chen Bing would have been beaten to death. Fortunately, they were all undead monsters.

Chen Bing moved his hand and crushed an ancient magic scroll: "Summon! Six-Winged Battle Angel!"

As he shouted, the magic scroll transformed into a gentle light, forming a huge white magic array above his head.

The magic array was filled with surging energy, and holy light enveloped the Witch's Forest. A six-winged battle angel, shining with holy light, revealed its majestic figure in the white light.

Hovering in mid-air, colorful energy beams radiated from its body. The six-winged battle angel looked down at Chen Bing and asked in a condescending tone, "Mortal, why have you summoned us?"

Tsk, angels are indeed as arrogant as rumored!

But it was just a one-time summon, and Chen Bing didn't argue with the battle angel. There was no time for that; if he kept talking, he would be overwhelmed by the countless skeleton army.

"Destroy these undead monsters!"

Chen Bing said quickly.

"As you wish!"

Undead and angels are mortal enemies, and the battle angel had already noticed the Lich King and the dense skeleton army.

"Great God of Light, grant us the power to destroy these lowly evil beings!"

The six-winged angel prayed devoutly, and endless holy light gathered in its hands.

"Sanctified Light!"

In the next moment, a huge holy cross formed in the sky, and holy light enveloped the entire Witch's Forest.

-100000!

-100000!

-100000!

-100000!

...

Huge damage numbers of 100,000 appeared above the heads of the skeletons. Although the skeletons were not low-level, they were just ordinary summoned monsters with a little over 300,000 HP. Under the continuous damage, they shattered and fell to the ground, turning into piles of bones, dying. The thousands of skeleton army were all killed in less than ten seconds.

[10,000 experience gained]

[10,000 experience gained]

[10,000 experience gained]

...

The skeleton army fell in droves, and Chen Bing's experience soared!

[System: Level up, your level is now 66!]

[System: Level up, your level is now 67!]

[System: Level up, your level is now 68!]

In the blink of an eye, Chen Bing's level increased by three!

"Haha, not bad, three levels of experience at once. If I can defeat the Lich King, it will be perfect!"

His level increased by three, and Chen Bing was in high spirits. Unfortunately, summoned creatures wouldn't drop items, or the loot from the thousands of skeletons would have made him rich.

Chen Bing circled around, but of course found nothing. The battle angel was already fighting the Lich King.

His level increased by three, but he was still 12 levels below the Lich King. Under this level difference, the damage he could inflict on the Lich King was extremely limited, and he could easily be killed by the Lich King. Chen Bing didn't join the fight but watched from the side.

The six-winged battle angel's attacks were swift, making the Lich King Nordlin roar in anger, but after watching for a while, Chen Bing quickly calculated the damage and HP of both sides and felt something was wrong.

The six-winged battle angel's attacks were effective against undead monsters, but not much against the Lich King. Nordlin, as a Lich King, was not a simple opponent.

Given the current situation, the six-winged battle angel was clearly not a match for the Lich King.

The six-winged battle angel still had powerful skills, but Nordlin, the Lich King, was clearly not a pushover. It seemed the battle angel was doomed.

"Tsk, so arrogant, I thought it was powerful, but it can't even defeat a Lich King. In the end, I have to help."

Chen Bing couldn't help but complain, but he couldn't just watch the battle angel be killed by the Lich King. If the battle angel died, his quest would be over.

Chen Bing quickly took out an item from his backpack, the Desire Lamp!

[Item: Desire Lamp]

[Type: Special Consumable]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Can it be taken home: No]

[Requirements: None]

[Special Effect: Summons the Desire Genie Kokoro. The genie has no combat ability but can fulfill the player's desires with great power.]

[Remaining uses: 2/3]

[Description: The Desire Lamp has magical power, and there is no desire it cannot fulfill. If there is, it means you don't have enough gold!]

...

The Desire Lamp, a legendary and extremely rare item, allowed Chen Bing to enter the Witch's Forest with one use.

"Respected master, what desire do you need me to help fulfill?"

The blue-robed genie Kokoro emerged from the lamp, his smoke-formed body floating in the air, and asked respectfully.

Tsk, the battle angel is a jerk, learn from the genie, how polite!

"Kokoro, find me a powerful healer who can ensure the battle angel doesn't die from the Lich King. And the cheaper, the better!"

Chen Bing quickly said to the genie, muttering about the battle angel.

The Desire Lamp's ability was very powerful, and theoretically, Kokoro could fulfill any request.

But the more valuable the wish, the more gold it would cost.

Chen Bing wanted the lamp to summon a more powerful angel, which would definitely kill the Lich King, but he knew that even using all his gold, he couldn't make the lamp summon an angel.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to do the quest in the Witch's Forest; he could just wish for it.

"No problem, the cost to hire a priest is 50 gold, and the transaction fee is 300 gold!"

Kokoro turned to look at the battle between the Lich King and the battle angel and immediately replied.

Damn!

Hiring a priest for 50 gold, and this guy wants 250 gold as a tip. The price is really not normal!

Chen Bing had only about 1000 gold in total, and 300 gold was a third of his total wealth.

But he didn't hesitate and quickly handed over 300 gold to Kokoro.

The Witch's Forest quest was worth it!

"Transaction complete!"

Kokoro took the gold, and his body turned into a black cloud.

The black cloud quickly landed on the ground and solidified into a teleportation array that Chen Bing had never seen before. A small figure appeared on the array.

A white-robed, expressionless loli priestess named Elsa.

"Are you the adventurer who hired me through the genie?" Elsa looked at Chen Bing and asked.

"It's me. Help the battle angel with healing, don't let him die!"

An unexpected loli priestess, but the genie should be reliable. The loli priestess's healing ability shouldn't be weak!

"Hiring fee is 50 gold, for 1 hour. Please pay the gold first!"

But the next moment, Chen Bing was stunned.

Kokoro, the scoundrel, still wanted him to pay the hiring fee?

Damn! He trusted him so much, thinking he was reliable. If he couldn't pay the 50 gold, he would really be scammed!

Chen Bing was irritated. He had one last chance to use the lamp, and he decided to have a serious talk with the genie. If he couldn't get some profit from the greedy guy, he would kill him! The guy probably had some good stuff, or maybe some top-tier items to upgrade his home!
