Li Wu naturally wasn't foolish enough to respond, instead, he silently and frantically threw stones.

The BOSS had a long attack range, so Junlin Tianxia and his group kept their distance. Once Li Wu defeated the BOSS, he would have enough time to pick up anything valuable. Even if Junlin Tianxia rushed over and killed him, he would only get the scraps.

Li Wu didn't believe he'd be so unlucky as to drop anything good.

Ignoring everyone, Junlin Tianxia couldn't determine if someone was stalling the BOSS, so he continued sending people with a hopeful mindset.

With only a few Death Warriors left, his wallet was practically empty, and Junlin Tianxia was furious. He grabbed the remaining two Death Warriors, instructing them to alternate and negate two of the BOSS's skills. He then charged forward during the BOSS's skill cooldown.

The Electric Zombie King's lightning pierce had a cooldown of only 1.2 seconds. Junlin Tianxia hadn't gotten far before he was electrocuted.

-865

However, he didn't die. Being a top player who dared to chat using the loudspeaker, his equipment was all top-notch, and his health was still at least two-fifths full.

A blue light suddenly enveloped Junlin Tianxia, and the health bar above his head turned blue.

This was his talent: when his health dropped below 50%, his magic shield automatically activated, allowing his mana to absorb part of the damage, currently at a 30% absorption rate.

Junlin Tianxia had 1200 mana points, which could absorb 360 damage points.

He charged further, and the BOSS's attack struck again.

-505 (reduced by 360)

The blue bar reverted to a health bar, leaving him with only 180 health points.

Seeing that his vision was still insufficient, Junlin Tianxia painfully drank a bottle of Red Potion while charging forward.

+800

This wasn't a cheap store item; it was an Instant Recovery Potion he had painstakingly acquired, unavailable in stores, crafted by a life-class alchemist. Only one in ten thousand ordinary Red Potions might yield one.

Determined to figure out what was happening, Junlin Tianxia was relentless.

"Ah~"

-865

Another lightning bolt struck, leaving Junlin Tianxia with just a sliver of health. Cursing, he finally charged into view.

Someone was indeed stalling the monster!

Due to the angle, he couldn't see the face, but he could see the name above.

Invincible Cute Tuan?

Could it be some frightened girl?

Junlin Tianxia's mind was flooded with questions, and then he inadvertently noticed the BOSS's health.

????????

A lightning bolt flashed, and the question-mark-filled Junlin Tianxia was struck down!

Someone had managed to get close to the BOSS, and Li Wu was also startled, but fortunately, the person ultimately turned into white light.

Worried that others might rush over, Li Wu didn't dare stop his actions for a second. A few seconds later, the Electric Zombie King screamed and turned into light.

Without checking the system notification, Li Wu quickly slid down from the small platform, listening for footsteps while frantically picking up the glowing items, ready to run in the opposite direction at the first sign of someone approaching.

It seemed everyone was truly dead, as Li Wu had picked up all the silver coins without anyone coming over.

Seeing at least a hundred and eighty copper coins on the ground, Li Wu confidently stood up and dashed to the side.

Items dropped upon death would refresh after five minutes. With so many people dead here, picking up anything would be more valuable than those copper coins.

Reaching the spot where the player had fallen after getting close, he indeed found something on the ground. Picking it up, Li Wu was dumbfounded.

[Boar-hide Boots] (Gold)

Health +160

Intelligence +12

Spirit +10

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "[pawread.c𝘰m]"

Agility +8

Movement Speed +12%

Equipment Level: 8

What kind of family is this? Even Death Warriors dare to wear gold equipment?

Li Wu was momentarily stunned but quickly realized that the original owner of these boots must have been Junlin Tianxia.

Besides the [Boar-hide Boots], there was also one Red Potion.

Initially, Li Wu didn't pay much attention, but upon checking the details, he discovered it was an Instant Recovery Potion he hadn't seen before, capable of instantly restoring 800 health points.

The potion's potency was so great that drinking it would make him cough up blood!

Li Wu walked a bit further, finding nothing else on the ground, and realized these Death Warriors must have been in a naked state. He hurried back to pick up the discarded copper coins one by one.

Village-wide Top Message:

Junlin Tianxia: "Invincible Cute Tuan, you damn woman, using cheats! Just wait to get banned! No, this is a government-operated game, just wait to go to jail!"

Li Wu found Junlin Tianxia's loudspeaker message both amusing and exasperating. After thinking for a moment, he opened the area chat.

Invincible Cute Tuan: "I'm a straight man, no cheats used."

Junlin Tianxia: "You damn near killed the BOSS with stones, and you say you didn't cheat?"

Immortal Touching My Butt: "Using stones only deals 1 point of forced damage, definitely cheating."

Long Knight: "So there was a cheater, no wonder the [Zombie King Scepter] dropped. Must have soloed the Electric Zombie King last night, right?"

Long: "What does it matter to you if there's a cheater? Look at my lips!"

Bai Dabao: "Hmm? Sis? I'll Venmo you 50 for a link!"

"......"

Seeing even Bai Dabao joining in the fun, Li Wu realized this was hard to explain. If a bunch of people reported him and actually got the police involved, it would be troublesome.

His Slash Talent seemed quite OP now, not much worse than Spicy Rabbit's 100% critical hit in some aspects, and he didn't want to expose it too early.

After pondering for a bit, Li Wu saw the cooldown time for speaking was up and decided to bluff.

Invincible Cute Tuan: "Throwing Talent ignores defense! Believe it or not, feel free to report!"

Junlin Tianxia: "Even if what you say is true, what about you stealing my BOSS?"

Bai Dabao: "Fighting the BOSS is based on skill, how is that stealing?"

Village-wide Top Message:

Junlin Tianxia: "I invested so much, and he intercepted halfway, isn't that stealing?"

Village-wide Top Message:

Bai Dabao: "Maybe he was already in position waiting for the BOSS, and you lured it away, wasting his time!"

Li Wu was in awe of Bai Dabao's eloquence, as this was exactly the excuse he had thought of but couldn't say due to the area chat's time limit.

But spending a thousand bucks per message made Li Wu feel sorry for Bai Dabao. Couldn't they use the free chat section?

Area Chat:

Invincible Cute Tuan: "Thanks to Bai the Heroine for speaking up. I was indeed squatting in the mine shaft for three hours, almost got delayed by Junlin Tianxia!"

Bai Dabao: "No problem, if the Electric Zombie King dropped any equipment suitable for me, just sell it to me first."

Junlin Tianxia: "Do you think I'm an idiot? This isn't over; I have people at all three mine entrances. Let's see how you return to the city."

Seeing Junlin Tianxia blocking his return, Li Wu not only didn't panic but felt completely relaxed.

Since they were blocking the entrance, it meant they weren't coming in to find him, giving him time to sort through his loot.

Just as Li Wu opened his backpack, Bai Dabao's private message suddenly came through.

"Bro! Don't you think you should thank me? We're friends, and your name was still grayed out an hour ago. How did you squat for three hours?"

"Oh! Thanks."

"Be real, give me a link!"
