Chapter 9

With a mighty roar, a gust of wind immediately followed, instantly lifting the grass under the big tree.

Wang Yu stood up and took a step back.

At the same time, a giant wolf emerged from where Wang Yu had been sitting.

This wolf was even taller than the wild buffalo at the village entrance, with a snow-white and shiny coat, not a single hair out of place.

Its eyes were like copper bells, its mouth like a pool of blood, and every move it made exuded the majesty of a king, truly awe-inspiring and formidable.

Of course, if it hadn't appeared directly, its entrance would have been even more shocking.

Silver Moon Wolf King (???) Elite, Silver Boss

HP: 50,000

MP: 2,000

Skills: Bite, Claw, Pounce, Moon Wolf Impact.

After seeing the attributes of the Wolf King, Wang Yu was momentarily stunned. Wasn't this boss supposed to be insane? It's not that impressive, just a bit more health and an extra skill, essentially an enhanced version of a Silver Wolf Warrior!

If other players knew what Wang Yu was thinking, they would surely curse him. This is a Silver Boss, with a level so high it's out of sight. At this stage, players can't even break its defense, what do you mean by "not that impressive"...

For example, Wu Ji and Bao San were already stunned.

Especially Wu Ji, who exclaimed, "Holy crap, it's a Silver Boss, why isn't he running? Is he planning to solo it?"

Bao San, though not as shocked, was also taken aback, "No way, does he have the strength to solo a Silver Boss? Is there no limit to this kid's abilities!"

"I suddenly feel quite excited!" After the shock, Wu Ji's face was full of excitement. Being able to witness a solo boss fight is a rare sight, even in the late game.

As he spoke, Wu Ji quickly turned on the camera function. When Wang Yu soloed a group of Silver Wolves earlier, he regretted only being amazed and forgetting to record it.

At this moment, Wang Yu was quite disappointed with his previous expectations. As a martial artist, challenging high difficulty is a habit ingrained in his bones.

Wang Yu thought the boss would have some special qualities, but after seeing its attributes, he could only sigh.

Wang Yu had already figured out the attack patterns of the Silver Wolf Warriors and Silver Wolf Guards. No matter how much health it had, it would just take a few more hits.

With this thought, Wang Yu beckoned to the Silver Moon Wolf King, making a provocative gesture.

The Silver Moon Wolf King felt its royal dignity insulted, bared its teeth, and pounced.

Wang Yu knew this move was called Pounce. If a dozen wolves used it together, there would be no place to run. But now, with only one wolf king, even if it was faster, he could still dodge.

Wang Yu took a small step to the left, slightly turned his body, and the wolf king missed, landing on the ground.

As expected!

Wang Yu smiled slightly, just as he was about to start a combo with a side kick, the wolf king, after missing, didn't hesitate and immediately clawed back. Wang Yu was startled and hurriedly blocked. Even so, this hit sent him flying.

-282

A blood-red number appeared above Wang Yu's head.

Wang Yu and Bao San were both shocked, exclaiming, "Free Mode!!!!"

"What does that mean?" Wu Ji asked, puzzled.

"This wolf king is a Free Mode monster, no wonder it has 'Elite' in its name!"

Wu Ji asked curiously, "What's the difference between a Free Mode monster and a regular one?"

"Of course there's a difference!" Bao San explained, "In normal mode, monsters have stiff movements and a slight pause after each attack. In Free Mode, there's no pause, they fight purely on instinct. In other words, this martial artist is facing not a monster, but a real wild beast!!"

"..." Wu Ji sucked in a cold breath, "Isn't that very dangerous for Iron Ox?"

"Yep!" Bao San nodded.

"Let's go help him!" Wu Ji said. Even if Wang Yu couldn't solo the Silver Moon Wolf King, he was already a formidable expert in Wu Ji's eyes, and it was necessary to make friends with him at this time!

Bao San shook his head, "No, going would be suicide!"

"Why?"

"Because the game designers are too despicable!!" Bao San cursed, "Didn't you see that the wolf king didn't react before the martial artist provoked it? In Free Mode, monsters don't have a hate system, they pick on the weakest. Do you think the two of us would be enough for it to chew on!"

"..." Wu Ji was completely stunned. No hate system in the game, what kind of concept is that.

This is what Bao San meant by the despicable nature of the game designers. The Heart of the Brave quest is meant to be completed solo. With a hate system, smart players would find many ways to exploit it.

For example, not forming a party, a group surrounding the wolf king, and the player with the quest attacking from the outside... 50,000 health, it would eventually be whittled down.

So the more sinister designers came up with this.

No wonder Mu Zixian said that although this boss is Silver level, it's much harder to deal with than a Gold-level boss.

As Wu Ji said, Wang Yu's current situation is very dangerous.

Firstly, his health. With only 300 health, Wang Yu wasn't instantly killed by the block, but now he was down to just a dozen points.

Secondly, the wolf king was pouncing again.

Just as he was about to be killed, Wang Yu smiled and said, "Good beast, you're really something!" He then flipped up, standing up, and dodged the wolf king's pounce.

The wolf king missed and clawed again. Wang Yu, seeing his opportunity, moved forward instead of back, jumping onto the wolf king's back waist and delivering a side kick that made the wolf king shudder.

As a boss, it has an 80% resistance to control skills. Even though Wang Yu's completion rate exceeded 200%, his level was too low, and he only managed to slightly stagger the wolf king.

Fortunately, the designer wasn't too despicable, and the damage wasn't reduced. This hit took off about 300 health from the wolf king.

The wolf king, in pain, turned to bite Wang Yu.

Wang Yu smiled, crouched down, and moved to the other side of the wolf king's back waist, lowering his body and aiming for the wolf king's soft abdomen, delivering an uppercut.

"Ow..." The critical hit made the wolf king howl and jump high. Wang Yu didn't let up, following the wolf king's movements and hitting its abdomen repeatedly.

After a few hits, each one a critical strike, the wolf king's hind legs weakened, almost falling over.

Bao San and Wu Ji, watching from a distance, were stunned.

"..." This, this isn't human!!

Wang Yu's fighting style looked simple, just hiding where the wolf king couldn't reach and attacking. But to do this, he had to constantly observe the wolf king's every move, judge the timing, and predict the next move. Any mistake would result in instant death.

Wang Yu's dodging was precise, his timing impeccable, like a machine that never made a mistake, never giving the wolf king a chance.

This kind of operation is what's known as the ultimate play!

Not just Wu Ji and Bao San, even the game monitoring center was in an uproar.

While Wang Yu was fighting the Silver Moon Wolf King, the main system issued a notification.

"Player in Newbie Village 3318 challenging the Silver Moon Wolf King."

The monitoring team was stunned.

"Silver Moon Wolf King? A martial artist really took this quest? And actually summoned the Silver Moon Wolf King?"

A designer gloated, "Haha, no matter how many people farm the Silver Wolf Guards, our wolf king is in Free Mode, it will definitely teach that arrogant guy a lesson!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, "Right! Right!"

However, after a minute, the system continued to notify, "Player in Newbie Village 3318 challenging the Silver Moon Wolf King!" "Huh? Still fighting? So tough?" The monitoring team member asked, puzzled.

Being questioned about the boss he designed, the designer couldn't stand it and said, "Xiao Zhao, switch the view, let's see what's going on!"

Xiao Zhao nodded, and the large screen switched to Wang Yu.

Everyone in the room was stunned...

With only 18 health left, the martial artist was dodging and attacking, while the Silver Moon Wolf King, howling in pain, couldn't touch him at all...

This scene made everyone feel like they were dreaming.

After a long while, someone finally spoke up.

"Holy crap! Is he using a cheat?"

"Rubbish, the virtual helmet connects to the cloud, how can there be a cheat?"

"Maybe it's some external auxiliary device? Quickly lock down this player!"

"Okay!"

After a series of operations, the staff member's face changed.

"What? Is it a cheat?" Seeing the staff member's expression, everyone gathered around.

The staff member, shocked, said, "No! This person is completely normal!!!"

"Whew..." Everyone sucked in a cold breath, "No cheat, does that mean this player's operation is already godlike?"
