Li Wu led Spicy Rabbit back to a safe distance and had the young girl crouch down.

Spicy Rabbit didn't understand why, but obediently squatted on the ground.

The next moment, Li Wu lifted his foot and stood on Spicy Rabbit's shoulder.

"Ah!" The young girl was startled but didn't move, though her face turned a bit red.

Li Wu, a tall guy over six feet, clad in leather armor and wielding a long sword, stood on the shoulders of a petite girl in a silk robe. Especially with the girl crouching, she looked even more fragile, making the scene quite awkward.

Standing on Spicy Rabbit's shoulders, Li Wu glanced around.

As expected, the organized parties hadn't joined the battle and were observing from the sidelines.

He had suspected earlier that although the Silver Wolf King's health was steadily decreasing, it seemed slower than it should be.

After all, just from his estimates in the chat channel, there were dozens of players with over 260 attack points. Including those not in a party or already in one, the number surely exceeded a hundred.

Even if each only had 260 points, with a skill dealing 30 damage, over a hundred people would amount to 3000 damage.

And that was just the so-called 260 attack threshold. Li Wu believed there were some big shots, like the one who bought the Zombie King Scepter, whose damage would be unimaginable.

"Are you even human! Get down from there!"

A sharp voice suddenly came from behind, startling Li Wu. However, he didn't slowly turn around with a disdainful look; instead, he jumped straight down from Spicy Rabbit's shoulder.

Li Wu realized it wasn't very appropriate, but he was eager to verify his suspicions and didn't think much about it.

A girl rushed over from a distance, her staff almost poking Li Wu in the face.

"What’s wrong with you? Using a little girl as a stepping stone?"

Li Wu leaned back, afraid the girl might poke him in the mouth with her staff.

"Don't get excited. This is a game. Regardless of gender or age, character attributes are the same, so there's no..."

Before Li Wu could finish, he suddenly noticed the staff in front of him looked familiar, shining with golden light.

The Zombie King Scepter???

"No what, no what, you scumbag, pervert!"

Being scolded, Li Wu should have been angry, but realizing this was someone who could provide for him, he immediately calmed down. After a moment of thought, he suddenly crouched down.

"Rabbit, stand on my shoulders."

"Huh?" Spicy Rabbit was taken aback, then shook her head repeatedly. "No need, no need."

"It's okay. I didn't consider it properly earlier. It did look inappropriate. It's not entirely to let you step back; help me keep an eye on that hundred-person team to the east and see when they move."

"Oh, okay." Spicy Rabbit nodded her little head and obediently stood on Li Wu's shoulders.

Li Wu slowly stood up with Spicy Rabbit on his shoulders, then looked at the girl warrior with a constipated expression:

"Sorry for the embarrassment."

Bai Dabao's originally pretty face was now a bit distorted. Li Wu's attitude was good, and the little girl didn't seem to feel bullied. Now, with the two of them stepping on each other, it seemed she was meddling.

"Be careful next time." Bai Dabao took a deep breath and withdrew the staff from Li Wu's face.

"Got it."

Bai Dabao glanced at the name floating above Li Wu's head, suddenly realizing something. Her body shivered involuntarily, and she clasped her hands in a fist salute towards Li Wu, saying sincerely, "Sorry, sister, I misunderstood you!"

Li Wu's jaw dropped slowly, and his body shivered involuntarily. Mimicking Bai Dabao, he clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Just call me brother. You did misunderstand. I'm a straight guy!"

"Uh, sorry."

"Yeah, it's fine."

Bai Dabao couldn't help but laugh, looking Li Wu and Spicy Rabbit up and down, noticing they were only level 1. She boldly said, "A fight brings us together. Do you need me to help you fight the boss? The equipment and items are mine, and the currency is yours."

"Uh." Li Wu looked at Bai Dabao in surprise. He remembered the Electric Zombie King dropped 1 gold and 68 silver, and the Silver Wolf King should be similar, which was over sixteen hundred bucks.

Bai Dabao didn't know what his talent was; she simply wanted to help them.

Naturally, Li Wu wouldn't agree. Having just earned over 110,000, a mere eight hundred was nothing. He still wanted to gamble on the last hit, to take a chance on the loot.

"I won't trouble you. Rabbit, do you want to go with this young lady?"

"No need. I just came with Tuan Bro to see the Silver Wolf King. I didn't plan on fighting. That big mouth, won't it swallow me in one bite?"

Li Wu nodded to Bai Dabao, politely declining her offer, then moved aside with Spicy Rabbit on his shoulder.

Bai Dabao thought Li Wu was too proud to accept help and didn't say much, returning to her previous spot with the Female Housekeeper and seven bodyguards.

The brief encounter didn't stir much. Li Wu kept an eye on the Silver Wolf King's health from a distance while instructing Spicy Rabbit to watch the disciplined team on the right.

The Silver Wolf King's health was dropping to 30%, and although the players in battle seemed crowded, they had been replenished countless times. The observing teams around were thinning out.

It seemed the Silver Wolf King was about to die soon. With the crowd so dense, how would the surrounding teams seize the boss?

"Howl!"

With a howl that echoed through the sky, the Silver Wolf King's silver fur turned blood-red, and its size doubled, resembling a small mountain.

The situation in the field changed instantly. The Silver Wolf King's movement speed became incredibly fast, its aggro chaotic, darting around the field. Many players couldn't even finish casting Fireball before the Silver Wolf King moved out of attack range.

Melee fighters were more troubled, chasing left and right behind the Silver Wolf King but always missing.

The most terrifying was the Silver Wolf King's skill. The Thunder Pounce, originally every 8 seconds, became every 4 seconds, taking out large swathes of players with each leap. Its attack speed was so fast it left afterimages, and its health was increasing instead of decreasing.

In less than two minutes, the number of players in the field dropped sharply to a fraction, seemingly less than a tenth of the original.

"Tuan Bro, they're moving!"

Spicy Rabbit suddenly jumped off Li Wu's shoulder, pointing to the east.

"Finally joining the fray!"

Li Wu also figured out the surrounding teams' plans.

Since no one had the strength to clear the field, let the Silver Wolf King do it. Once the skirmishers were mostly cleared by the Silver Wolf King, the capable teams would showcase their skills.

No wonder Beginner Village No. 5188 had successfully defeated the Silver Wolf King twice. With equipment levels improved, how could they fail now?

As the surrounding teams entered the field, the one-sided situation stabilized instantly.

The Silver Wolf King's Bite couldn't even take down the shield-bearing player in front of it. A Light Shield appeared on that player, followed by a golden light falling on his head!

A healing skill!
