Chapter 85

When the two heard the shout, they immediately turned around and saw Fang Yi running over. The bard and the warrior were originally standing side by side, but upon seeing a rogue charging from the opposite direction, they remembered they were light armor users and were about to crouch behind the warrior. However, they saw the rogue, who was running like the wind, grinning and raising something in his hand.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

In an instant, Fang Yi had already advanced several feet, and the three crossbow bolts at point-blank range all hit the bard's face. Unfortunately, the bard had already known the enemy was a rogue and had cast a protective spell early on. A small string of -1 damage numbers floated up from the bard's head, and the bard immediately clutched his nose, with tears and snot streaming down.

The human warrior standing at the door was clearly experienced. Ignoring his teammate who was groaning on the ground, he remained motionless at the door, staring with wide eyes at the rogue who was running toward him like a gust of wind, blocking the narrow back door tightly.

At this moment, Fang Yi was already empty-handed. His left hand, which he had extended, made a strange gesture, and the only level zero scroll in his ring, the Flash, was instantly activated.

The dazzling white light made the pursuers behind Fang Yi feel as if a bolt of lightning had flashed by, followed by a heart-wrenching scream. The last image the crowd saw of the rogue was Fang Yi leaping high, his right foot kicking the warrior's face.

The post station was right next to the Giant's Heel, which connected to the West Gate, with a dense forest nearby. Fang Yi, who had already reached full speed, directly plunged into the forest, stunning the passersby on the street.

A group of people shouted and chased to the edge of the forest. They looked at each other, then glanced at the dark, dense forest, and all stopped. The combat ability of the person just now was evident to all. Fighting a stealthy enemy in the forest would be suicide, even if the druid in the group found the enemy.

Fang Yi did not go far into the forest but circled around and returned to the other side of the Giant's Heel. He was no longer in a hurry to travel but became interested in this town.

The surrounding area of the Giant's Heel was undoubtedly around level 10, which was normal for the three newbies who had died earlier. However, the group that just appeared was clearly level 14 or higher. Could they be here to help an NPC grandmother cross the road?

Even if there was money to be made, it didn't make sense. This wasn't the real world. If these people spent ten to fifteen days in a low-level map, even if their levels didn't drop, their combat experience, equipment, and overall skills would definitely fall behind—just as in the game world, not advancing means falling behind.

Is there something here? Fang Yi carefully recalled but couldn't find the name of the Giant's Heel in his memory, nor was there any news on the forums. Fang Yi squatted behind the grass, watching the members of the Divine Justice guild, who looked like they were facing a great enemy, and sent a message to the long-unseen Golden Right Hand.

"Is the sun rising from the west? Why did you think of sending me a message?"

Fang Yi was stunned when he heard the voice of Golden Right Hand. Was he also nearby? He had originally wanted to ask Golden Right Hand to gather some information, but it seemed he didn't need to go through so much trouble.

"Come out, to the forest on the east side of the town." Fang Yi sent a message to Golden Right Hand and silently retreated into the forest.

Soon, the distinctive full plate armor of Golden Right Hand appeared in Fang Yi's field of vision, with a grand tail armor shield on his back, always drawing attention wherever he went.

Fang Yi revealed himself and greeted Golden Right Hand, "What are you doing here, did you hear about some treasure?"

Golden Right Hand clearly had a good mood. The weapon at his waist had been replaced with a mighty warhammer, the heavy hammer head glowing with a faint blue light, restrained and steady, clearly not an ordinary item. Most of his chainmail had been replaced with heavier and sturdier plate armor, making him look formidable.

"Haha, I thought you had a dog's nose!" Golden Right Hand punched Fang Yi in the shoulder and laughed, "Turns out you didn't know~"

"Damn, stop being mysterious. I was just annoyed by a guild called Divine Justice. Give me some good news, what's going on here?" Fang Yi rubbed his sore shoulder and, with Golden Right Hand, came to a tree with a diameter of about ten feet, leaning against the rough trunk and asked.

"Hehe, the Giant's Heel will soon be bustling," Golden Right Hand smiled mysteriously at Fang Yi, "Last night, a mutated wave boss appeared here."

"Really!? What level?" Fang Yi straightened up, his eyes shining, making Golden Right Hand feel uneasy.

A mutated wave boss means a wave boss template with an additional mutation template, increasing overall attributes by 25%. This mutation isn't just a 25% increase in hard attributes like defense and attack.

Like the mutated rock-eating spider Fang Yi encountered in the underground of Farview Town, it was just a regular level 18 elite monster before mutation. After mutation, not only did its attributes increase significantly, but its detection, rapid movement, and spellcasting abilities were greatly enhanced, and it gained a high-level illusion skill. Because of this, Fang Yi almost died in the underground. If the mutated spider had been a wave boss, Fang Yi might have been reset to the beginning—anyway, he would have died for sure.

This is why Fang Yi was so excited. Due to their limited strength, players couldn't delve too deeply into the wild maps and hadn't yet faced level 19+ monsters. If there was a level 18 wave boss that had mutated... Fang Yi felt like he was looking at a mobile bank, filled with colorful magic equipment, rare gems, and high-level magic scrolls...

"The level should be quite high," Golden Right Hand, who had clearly done some information gathering, explained the current situation to Fang Yi in detail, "It's the Divine Justice guild you mentioned, a small guild in the West Gate. They somehow discovered this wave boss and organized several high-level players to kill it, but they were all wiped out. However, the news has been distorted by the time it reached me, and I only know it's a large dinosaur-type wave boss."

Hearing Golden Right Hand's description, Fang Yi frowned and thought. This terrain could indeed be home to dinosaurs, but it wouldn't be a tyrannosaurus, as even the regular version has a challenge level of 25 or higher; the velociraptor isn't that big...

"Could it be a case of mistaken transmission, turning a winged dragon into a dinosaur?" Fang Yi looked at Golden Right Hand, raising an eyebrow and asked.

"I don't know, but the appearance of a mutated wave boss is true, because I saw members of the Heaven's Dominion guild at the Tashir post station, preparing to head this way," Golden Right Hand seemed to remember something and continued with a smile, "By the way, there's another piece of news you probably don't know. My friend in the West Gate saw the leader of the Silver Scepter guild, and she is also heading this way."

No way! Today's hot news just keeps coming. Fang Yi thought his adventure in Green Creek Village was already a good topic, but it turns out the world is changing every day—The Silver Scepter, a super guild on par with Heaven's Dominion and Divine Right, is also setting up in the West Gate? Speaking of which, the reason Heaven's Dominion left the West Gate and settled in the Green Wind Canyon in Tashir might have something to do with the Silver Scepter~
