Chapter 4

Moon Ying raised her hand, and everyone stopped in their tracks.

"I'll take care of the Iron-Toothed Wolf. If you don't want to die, keep a safe distance from me and don't attack the Iron-Toothed Wolf on your own!"

"After I kill the Iron-Toothed Wolf, each of you will receive a key. Use it to pass through the stone door and enter the second level."

After speaking, Moon Ying closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then walked confidently towards the Iron-Toothed Wolf, leaving a heroic and dashing figure behind.

"Wow, so cool! I'm a girl, and I'm even moved!"

"I want to cling to the legs of the beautiful goddess!"

"You're too fat; the beautiful goddess can't carry you!"

Moon Ying had already reached the fifth level of the Demon Realm, and she had defeated every boss on each level. The Iron-Toothed Wolf posed no challenge to her, which was why she was asked for help.

Since it was an invitation from her alma mater, Moon Ying couldn't refuse and agreed to help.

The sound of Moon Ying's footsteps alerted the Iron-Toothed Wolf. It turned around, bared its teeth, and showed its sharp fangs.

"Light Slash!"

Moon Ying rushed to the front of the Iron-Toothed Wolf, nimbly dodged the sharp claws that came at her, and the Western sword in her hand flashed with a cold light, striking with icy precision!

Three glaring white lights were imprinted on the Iron-Toothed Wolf's chest, the sword light piercing through its thick and tough body!

-88!

-176!

-752! (Critical Hit)

The Iron-Toothed Wolf's health bar was instantly emptied, and it fell backward with a loud thud!

"Light Slash" is Moon Ying's S-rank innate skill, with very powerful attributes.

[Light Slash (S)]

Level: 1

Experience: 378/1000

Cost: 10 Vitality Points

Cooldown: 60 seconds

Attack the target with sword strikes. Each strike's damage will double, and the final strike will be a critical hit, causing massive damage!

Notes:

Level 1 Light Slash: 3 consecutive strikes on the target.

Level 2 Light Slash: 5 consecutive strikes on the target.

Level 3 Light Slash: 10 consecutive strikes on the target.

Level 4 Light Slash: 20 consecutive strikes on the target.

Level 5 Light Slash: 50 consecutive strikes on the target.

Moon Ying stood behind the Iron-Toothed Wolf, slowly sheathing her long sword, her movements incredibly graceful, once again drawing gasps of admiration from the crowd.

"One move to kill the boss! Truly a genius! So awesome!"

"This is the power of an S-rank innate skill? Scary!"

"Looking at my D-rank innate skill, it's so frustrating to compare!"

The Iron-Toothed Wolf dropped 5 lower-grade red [Demon Soul Balls], 3 lower-grade green [Demon Soul Balls], 2 lower-grade yellow [Demon Soul Balls], and a D-rank quality pair of gloves.

Moon Ying walked over, and all the rewards flew into her backpack.

"You should have received the keys. Hurry through the stone door; the boss will respawn in one hour."

After speaking to everyone, Moon Ying opened the friend channel.

[Moon Ying]: "Sorry, I was helping someone with the first level boss just now. I just finished and will head to the fifth level to meet everyone."

[Colossal God]: "No problem, we're still waiting for you at the fifth level boss. You're the main force, so you can't be absent, haha!"

[Money Little Princess]: "Moon Ying is so kind. If it were me, I wouldn't help without a million in compensation!"

[Irritated Dragon King]: "I think you're obsessed with money. You can't talk about anything without mentioning it!"

[Money Little Princess]: "So what? I love money! Money makes me happy!"

[Autumn Night]: "Everyone, don't just chat. Be careful of ambushes. A few days ago, a team was ambushed and completely wiped out!"

[Colossal God]: "Autumn Night is right. Everyone be careful, and so should Moon Ying."

Just as Moon Ying was about to reply, she suddenly felt the air around her become dense, even making it hard to breathe.

"This is... the sign of the boss respawning! How is that possible? It hasn't been an hour yet!"

Moon Ying's face changed drastically. She turned around and saw a black vortex suddenly appear in front of her, and an Iron-Toothed Wolf stepped out!

"Something's wrong! This Iron-Toothed Wolf is different from the usual ones!"

This Iron-Toothed Wolf was larger, more ferocious, and surrounded by black aura!

Moon Ying suddenly remembered that a senior from the Demon Realm Management Bureau had mentioned that sometimes special bosses—elite bosses—would respawn.

Elite bosses have significantly increased strength, and one elite boss is equivalent to five regular bosses!

Historically, an elite boss once respawned on the 17th level of the Demon Realm. The Management Bureau had to mobilize three teams to defeat it, but dozens of people died, and the battle was extremely fierce.

She never thought she would have the "honor" of encountering an elite boss!

Although this was the first level, Moon Ying didn't dare to underestimate this elite boss.

The people around her were stunned when they saw another Iron-Toothed Wolf appear, unsure of what to do.

It wasn't until Moon Ying shouted, "Run!" that they reacted and scattered.

Zhang Ze ran with the crowd for a while and then quietly returned. He suddenly had a bold idea.

Moon Ying left a message in the friend channel: "I've encountered an elite boss!" She then closed the channel and charged towards the elite Iron-Toothed Wolf.

"Although the elite boss is tough, it's still on the first level. I should be able to handle it! This is a good opportunity to train myself! I need to become stronger!" A figure flashed through Moon Ying's mind, and her fighting spirit soared!

The elite Iron-Toothed Wolf sensed Moon Ying approaching and turned to face her, its massive, sharp claws slashing down through the air!

Five black lines seemed to tear through space!

This was the Iron-Toothed Wolf's skill, [Rip]!

Moon Ying tried to dodge, but the elite Iron-Toothed Wolf's attack speed was beyond her imagination. She barely avoided three attacks, but the other two were unavoidable!

-170! (Elite Iron-Toothed Wolf)

-147! (Elite Iron-Toothed Wolf)

[You are bleeding!]

-115! (Bleeding)

Every 10 seconds, Moon Ying would lose 1% of her health, and if the bleeding wasn't stopped, she would bleed to death!

The pain made Moon Ying sweat coldly. She gritted her teeth and continued to swing her sword, releasing another "Light Slash" and hitting the elite Iron-Toothed Wolf precisely.

-33!

-66!

-199! (Critical Hit)

"The damage is so low!"

Moon Ying's heart sank. [Light Slash] was her most powerful move, yet it only caused less than 300 points of damage!

How high is this elite Iron-Toothed Wolf's defense?

"Roar!"

The elite Iron-Toothed Wolf charged at Moon Ying. She dodged to the side, but unexpectedly, it was just what the elite Iron-Toothed Wolf wanted. Another five black claw marks came down!

-139! (Elite Iron-Toothed Wolf)

-145! (Elite Iron-Toothed Wolf)

-166! (Elite Iron-Toothed Wolf)

-174! (Elite Iron-Toothed Wolf)

-167! (Elite Iron-Toothed Wolf)

[Danger! Your health is too low. Please heal immediately!]

A system prompt flashed before Moon Ying's eyes. She wanted to heal, but would the elite Iron-Toothed Wolf give her the chance?

Using [Healing Potion] cannot be interrupted, or it will have no effect.

"Am I going to die?"

Moon Ying's eyes were filled with despair. She gripped her sword tightly, preparing for her final resistance.

Swish!

Thud!

An arrow suddenly nailed the Iron-Toothed Wolf's forehead, the feathered tail still trembling slightly.

"Damn! Only 3 points of damage? This defense is too exaggerated! But I like it!" Zhang Ze put away his bow and ran, with the elite Iron-Toothed Wolf roaring and chasing after him.

Moon Ying was stunned. "He... is trying to save me?" She then became angry: "What nonsense! A newbie trying to deal with an elite boss, are you tired of living?"

She wanted to chase after him, but her current situation was not good. The bleeding effect was still ongoing, and if she didn't stop it soon, she would either die from the boss or bleed to death.

"Damn, don't die! I don't want to owe anyone a favor!" Moon Ying gritted her teeth, took out a [Bandage] to stop the bleeding, and then opened a [Healing Potion] and drank it, anxiously waiting for her health to recover.

At that moment, several figures rapidly approached from the distance.
