Chapter 23

"Roar!~" Mu Feng's bold appearance immediately caused a commotion among the wolfmen, who all picked up their weapons and charged at him. However, Mu Feng was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he circled around the small courtyard, leading the wolfmen into a rough straight line. Once he had dozens of wolfmen in line, he used his Blade Traverse skill to cut through them from head to tail.

A series of damage numbers over 700+ popped up, and Mu Feng immediately activated his Sacrifice skill, charging into the crowd of wolfmen. Equipped with a custom profession badge, Mu Feng's intelligence reached 47 points, making the damage from Sacrifice 97 points per second. After a few seconds, all the wolfmen were burned to death by the flames of Sacrifice. Picking up the gold coins and equipment on the ground, Mu Feng suddenly wanted to complete that legendary blueprint as soon as possible. Regardless of the combat power of the auxiliary robot, the automatic loot collection alone would save him a lot of trouble.

However, to manufacture that blueprint, he needed ore ingots collected and smelted by the mining profession, including the relatively rare silver ingots. At this moment, they were either monopolized by large guilds or priced extremely high. He could only wait until he returned to Lionheart City to see if anyone was selling them.

"Roar!~" Just as Mu Feng had picked up all the loot, a huge wolfman suddenly burst out of a nearby shabby hut. Its massive body broke through the wall, collapsing the entire hut.

This wolfman leader stood over three meters tall when upright, wearing tattered armor and wielding a large, jagged scimitar. His body was covered in shaggy, dark gray fur. His mouth full of yellow fangs and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Mu Feng, who had just wiped out his subordinates.

Hog: Level 17 Silver Elite Boss, 68,000 HP. Humanoid creature, wolfman leader.

It's a Boss! Mu Feng's eyes lit up. He seemed to still have some white gear, with empty slots for a necklace and ring. His level 5 blue weapon, Disaster's Grip, also needed to be replaced...

"Xiao Xi, let's go!" Mu Feng activated Sacrifice and charged forward with Xiao Xi.

"Ya!~" Xiao Xi quickly cast a skill, enveloping Mu Feng in a green glow, continuously restoring his health and mana.

-1080! A powerful strike landed heavily on Hog. Hog roared in anger, his body glowing red as he charged forward. Mu Feng immediately used Blade Traverse to move left, dodging the imminent brutal collision.

"Bang!~" Hog's charge was incredibly fierce, pushing him over 20 yards. After stopping, he lifted his right foot and stomped the ground, creating a powerful shockwave that collapsed the shabby courtyard wall. Mu Feng finally understood how the guy had gotten out.

However, this seemingly powerful move had a very long cooldown. Mu Feng rushed up and struck Hog's back with a powerful blow. 2135! He successfully triggered a critical hit. His figure became ethereal, creating a gray shadow that dealt another 2135 points of damage 0.5 seconds later. Phantom Strike!

"Roar..." Hog finally shook off the stun, turning to face Mu Feng and raising his scimitar to strike.

"Clang!~" Mu Feng successfully parried the scimitar with his Blood Curse Blade, quickly moving his feet to circle around Hog, his weapon continuously striking. Hog's HP rapidly decreased. When Hog's body turned red, Mu Feng immediately used Blade Traverse to dodge. As long as he maintained this rhythm, Mu Feng would be safe before Hog reached a dangerous HP level.

However, things were not that simple. Just as Mu Feng was in a fierce battle with Hog, a group of human players arrived at this remote location. They immediately noticed Mu Feng and Hog.

"Look, there's someone fighting a Boss!"

"Isn't that the wolfman leader we were looking for? A level 17 Silver Elite Boss, let's go and take it over!" The group consisted of a warrior, a paladin, a mage, a hunter, and a priest, a standard leveling and monster-killing team. The leading paladin took out a huge battle axe from his back and charged forward.

"Brother, we're here to help you!" Mu Feng, who was fighting the Boss, was suddenly joined by a group of five players who immediately attacked Hog. The warrior had already completed his class change, equipped a shield, and used a taunt to draw Hog's attention.

"This Boss is mine, you'd better leave quickly!" Mu Feng stopped attacking and coldly told them. His temper was not good, and his notorious bad temper was well-known in the gaming world.

"You can't beat it alone anyway, isn't it better if we help you? As for the loot, let's leave it to fate!" The leading paladin smiled. At the same time, their bodies emitted an orange glow.

"System: Detected players Wind Whisperer, Fist of Light, Iron Man, etc., within ten yards have activated Kill Mode. After five seconds, they can attack players of the same faction!"

This was the PvP protection system in "Skyrim." When players activated Kill Mode, their bodies would emit an orange glow, and the system would notify nearby players. After five seconds, their bodies would turn a dark red, and Kill Mode would be fully activated, allowing them to attack players of the same faction. Killing a player in Kill Mode would not increase the killer's sin value, and the killed player would drop at least one piece of equipment.

"Want to kill me?" Mu Feng didn't expect the group to be so straightforward, ready to kill him at the slightest provocation. However, this suited his plans. If these people insisted on staying and fighting, Mu Feng would have to find a way to make Hog kill them. Now that they had activated Kill Mode, their end was near!

"Who told you to be so unreasonable? I advise you to leave quickly, or you'll die and respawn in Lionheart City!" The glow on his body turned redder, and Fist of Light, the paladin, said with a fierce but trembling voice, ready to attack at any moment.

"You guys are really funny. You should know that I'm the one who always takes other people's Bosses, and no one has ever taken my Boss. Because anyone who tries to take my Boss has only one outcome... death!" Mu Feng's body was engulfed in a dark green flame as he activated Soul Sacrifice! This wasn't enough; black smoke began to rise from his body, making him look like a demon! With all his abilities activated, he struck the warrior who was tanking Hog with a powerful blow.

-5630! A terrifying damage number floated up from the warrior, instantly killing him! The remaining four were stunned by the unbelievable damage. The warrior had just reached level 15, with a defensive talent build and a shield whose defense value exceeded that of a chest piece. Combined with his plate armor, his defense was at least twice that of Mu Feng, who was wearing blue and purple leather armor. Yet, he was still instantly killed by Mu Feng.

"Who... who are you!" Fist of Light's voice changed, taking a long time to speak.

"Who am I?" Mu Feng removed his attribute-less gray cloak, revealing his perfect physique. The magnificent runes were dazzling, but what was even more dazzling were the four words on his head.

"Melancholy Wind!" When they read these four words, they were filled with despair. The four immediately turned to flee.

"Roar!~" However, the previously ignored Hog charged over, his body glowing red. A fierce collision instantly knocked down the four, followed by a powerful stomp that sent them flying with a shockwave.

"Swish!" Mu Feng's figure became a blurry shadow, his sharp blade slicing through the four bodies. Four damage numbers over 4000+ popped up, instantly killing them. Mu Feng didn't have time to care about their deaths; Soul Burn had a one-hour cooldown and could only last 30 seconds, with the demonic energy burst continuously consuming demonic energy.

-2732, Blade Traverse could be used again within five seconds.

-5874! In the demonic energy burst state, a powerful blow was guaranteed to crit, and with the 300% attack power increase from Soul Burn, Mu Feng's damage was terrifying.

-5184! Seeing that Soul Sacrifice was about to end, Mu Feng used the skill from Disaster's Grip, dealing continuous massive damage that killed Hog before he could make a last-ditch effort. Picking up the loot from the five-player group and Hog, Mu Feng immediately used his Hearthstone to return to the city.

At the same time, the five players Mu Feng had killed respawned at the resurrection point outside Lionheart City.

"Boss, the green shield I just bought dropped!" The warrior, Iron Man, started to cry out in pain as soon as he respawned. The shield had cost him almost all his savings.

"My blue battle axe also dropped, my loss isn't smaller than yours!" Fist of Light frowned deeply, realizing he had stepped on a landmine. Because the main force of that guild was in Lionheart City...

"Boss, are we just going to let this go?"

"What else can we do? I'm afraid he won't let it go either! Fortunately, it was Melancholy Wind. They say he has a good personality. If it had been Star Evil... We could have prepared to disband. The Fire Wolf Gang we were planning to build wouldn't have lasted anyway."

"Melancholy Wind, is he really that legendary Smiling Paladin?"
