Chapter 91

Listen to these useless people from World Domination! Fang Yi cursed inwardly. In the end, the Crocodile Lizard Boss still managed to run back. At this moment, Fang Yi found himself in a difficult situation. If he left now, what if the human corpses and unknown items that appeared in the Boss's lair were important plot clues? But if he stayed, what if the red thing was just a joke by the game developers, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

As Fang Yi hesitated, the rumbling sound had already become abnormally clear, as if it was just one wall away. Looking out from the Crocodile Lizard's lair, splashing mud fell from the sky, followed by the huge head of the Crocodile Lizard. However, the mutated Boss looked rather worse for wear, with various wounds on its long snout, especially a deep scar from its nostril to its left eyeball, almost blinding it. Fresh red blood spurted from the wound due to its violent movements.

The Crocodile Lizard Boss's movements were clearly not as agile as before, with five of its six thick legs bearing wounds of varying sizes. The commander of World Domination was quite cunning, definitely targeting the lower parts of the Boss first. Although they didn't manage to restrict its escape, Fang Yi could tell from the players shouting and chasing the Boss that its days were numbered.

Originally, escaping to this lair was a chance for the Crocodile Lizard Boss. A monster of this level definitely had the ability to heal automatically. If the people from World Domination hadn't followed the Boss, by the time they found this place, they would have faced a lively and vigorous Jungle Crocodile Lizard.

The Crocodile Lizard Boss leaped into the lair in a few bounds, its massive body stirring up dust in the already messy nest. Various spells and arrows from behind fell on the passage behind the Boss, raising another cloud of dust.

The Crocodile Lizard Boss's large tail swept away all kinds of bones. Fang Yi's eyes never left the corpse in front of him, and he dashed to the left with the red glow. At the same time, a black shadow appeared beside Fang Yi, leaping towards the red glow, and a blade of light stabbed at the thief beside him.

Fang Yi had been on guard against the enemy beside him. The moment the opponent appeared, he determined it was an NPC. Wearing a dark red robe, the entire head was wrapped tightly in red cloth, a typical assassin's outfit from the Faerûn continent. Fang Yi's elven dagger deflected the incoming rapier, and his right hand fired three crossbow bolts in quick succession.

The opponent was clearly unprepared, and the distance was too close, so the crossbow bolts hit their mark. Although the damage was low, the placement was perfect. The one-foot-long bolts lined up and shot into the opponent's left rib. As soon as the enemy landed, they found their speed couldn't keep up with Fang Yi, who had activated his sprint, because running was too awkward...

Fang Yi discarded the crossbow, and after activating his sprint, he was already two steps ahead of the opponent. He grabbed the red-glowing cloth and rolled to the corner, switching his left hand's elven dagger to a small diamond-shaped amulet.

"Despicable thief!" the opponent shouted in anger, both daggers aiming for Fang Yi's face. But the enraged NPC forgot they were in the Crocodile Lizard's lair. Two consecutive shouts had already drawn the Boss's attention from the front to behind.

The enraged Jungle Crocodile Lizard discovered two small pests in its home and swept its mountain-like tail towards them. The assassin NPC had to jump high to avoid this fatal blow, but what greeted him was a barrage of spells from the players outside.

When the shockwave from the Fireball spell hit the corner of the cave, Fang Yi had already successfully activated the Deep Earth Walker amulet and entered the underground world. At this moment, Fang Yi prayed that the people from World Domination would attract the Boss's attention, otherwise, if the Crocodile Lizard's tail hit the wall, he would definitely be thrown out.

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen. Although the speed of movement underground was much slower than the Stone Walk spell, he managed to safely escape the danger zone. However, the area near the Crocodile Lizard's lair was exceptionally dense with plants, and the underground was entangled with roots. Fang Yi's mana was almost depleted when he finally found a place to emerge from the ground.

"Phew~" Fang Yi leaned against a tree, panting heavily. The fight didn't take much effort, but the Stone Walk spell had drained his stamina. Fortunately, the Giant Fruit restored some of it... I'll never use the Stone Walk spell in the forest again!

Fang Yi climbed a large tree, confirmed that the surroundings were safe, and took out the red-glowing cloth from his bag. Despite being thrown around in that environment, the cloth remained as clean as new, with a pure black surface adorned with intricate patterns that were hard to discern with the naked eye. The outer layer of the cloth was wrapped in a red glow, which came from a barely visible fine line on the cloth.

After a series of intense identification spells, the cloth finally revealed its true form. The red glow that had been on the surface quietly seeped into the cloth, and a beautiful dark red pattern silently emerged. The red and black interwoven cloth was more aesthetically pleasing, and the prominent magical glow indicated its quality.

Lazorel's Fickle Bind (Fine Cloth Headband)

Light Armor

Equipment Requirement: Dexterity 20

Durability: 12

Weight: 5

Armor: 15 + 4

Spiritual Magic Resistance +1

Enchantment Magic Resistance +1

Natural Perception (Passive Effect): Listen Skill +1

The additional magic resistance was expected, but the Listen Skill +1 was truly a great attribute. Without a skill level restriction, it meant that Fang Yi's Listen skill would always be one point higher than others, regardless of when he used it—unless the opponent had some extraordinary luck or equipment, this was a significant advantage.

As the headband was identified, Fang Yi's adventure log also updated.

"The headband in your hand is heavier than expected. The magical patterns on it give you a familiar feeling, but it's hard to remember where you've seen them before. Perhaps you should ask someone about it."

Fang Yi knew this was due to his lack of knowledge skills, but it was too late to learn now. He would ask the silkworm gatherer later; maybe the Black Mountain Imp had also added knowledge skills? It was quite possible.

The message manager's "beep beep beep" sound interrupted Fang Yi's thoughts. The Golden Right Hand reminded him that the news of the Boss's escape had just arrived, which made Fang Yi's temper flare, but fortunately, it didn't cause any losses.

"The Silver Scepter people followed! They outflanked World Domination... They're fighting, they're fighting! I'm following behind to see if I can get some loot..."

The excited voice of the Golden Right Hand came through the intercom, and the rumbling sound mixed with the Crocodile Lizard Boss's furious roar clearly reached Fang Yi's ears.

"What are the mutated attributes of the Boss?" Fang Yi's most pressing concern was the strength of the Crocodile Lizard. The abilities of these mutated monsters were varied, and any information was valuable.
