Novice Village.
At the resurrection point.
There was a huge altar.
On the altar, runes that no one could understand were inscribed.
At the very center, a humanoid crystal was embedded, continuously emitting a glowing light.
At this moment, white lights flickered one after another.
Figures appeared one by one, all players resurrected at the altar after death.
Among them, was Zhao Hanyan.
She had just been resurrected, and was still in a dazed state.
"I... I was actually killed by someone?!"
Zhao Hanyan muttered to herself.
Her eyes twitched, her face flushed red, her heart filled with anger!
She was the dignified Eldest Young Lady of the Zhao Family, yet in the game, she was killed by someone!
For the first time!
Not killed by a monster, but instead finished off by an NPC!
After struggling to calm down, Zhao Hanyan regained her usual composure.
Her thin lips slightly parted, and she muttered to herself: "This grudge must be avenged! How could I suffer such a great loss?!"
At that moment, [Ding! Your friend "Sovereign of the Empire" has sent a voice message, do you accept?]
"Brother?"
Zhao Hanyan answered the voice message.
The "Sovereign of the Empire" was none other than Zhao Hanyan's own brother—Zhao Mingyuan, the future head of the Zhao Family!
Sovereign of the Empire (voice): "Someone recorded a video of Tiger Mountain. I've watched it. Check your backpack quickly to see if anything dropped."
Just as she picked up the call, this sentence came through.
Zhao Hanyan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and hurriedly opened her backpack!
Only a moment later, "Ah!!!"
A loud scream came from Zhao Hanyan's mouth.
After a while, she replied with a trembling voice, grinding her teeth, "Brother, the Secret Realm Treasure Map dropped!"
When a player is killed, there is a certain chance that items in the backpack will drop.
Unfortunately, Zhao Hanyan lost one item!
And it was very precious!
Sovereign of the Empire (voice): "What?!"
Zhao Hanyan replied with a crying tone, "While mining, I dug up a treasure chest. After opening it, there was this item inside. I also spent 1000 Gold Coins to buy an Advanced Appraisal Scroll to identify the item. It's a 'Secret Realm Treasure Map'. Using it can teleport you to a separate spatial area. There may be monsters or treasures inside... I originally planned to keep it and give it to you when I reached the big city, since your birthday is coming, to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect..."
Novice Village is independent, but the big city is part of a map.
By then, there will be 7 to 8 billion players worldwide interacting in real time!
Sovereign of the Empire (voice): "I appreciate the kindness. The item is lost, it's lost. Stay away from the Ning Family Siblings from now on, don't provoke them."
Zhao Hanyan was stunned.
She dropped such a precious item, and it was meant for him!
No consolation was given!
Instead, she was told not to provoke others?!
As if she were some troublemaker causing problems everywhere?!
Zhao Hanyan took a deep breath and replied calmly, "Got it. That Ning is your future wife, huh."
After saying this, she hung up the voice call immediately.
"Hmph!"
"We're not even married yet, and he's already siding with outsiders. If we do marry, won't I be even less important?!"
"So infuriating!"
Zhao Hanyan stomped her foot.
Don't be fooled by her charming and mature appearance.
Actually, she was one year younger than Ning Qingyue.
Only 17 this year.
...
In the game, night had fallen.
At the top of Tiger Mountain, Ye Qiu had already sent the Thousand-Faced Gentleman siblings and other players down the mountain.
He also asked them to guard the mountain entrance.
As for him, he took out some items from his backpack.
[Special items: Gas Canister, Firecrackers, Fuel, Lighter...]
These were all brought in from reality.
Especially the two Gas Canisters.
Ye Qiu muttered, "If I remember correctly, the mysterious iron that Blacksmith Shop Zhang Tie lost is inside one of the Jade-Eyed Tiger Monsters on Tiger Mountain. Killing it will drop the item!"
With that thought, Ye Qiu carried the two Gas Canisters, buried them in the deepest pit at the center, covered them with firecrackers, poured on fuel, connected the fuse, and finally, covered it with soil!
He pulled the fuse out to the outside.
Ye Qiu did not light it immediately, but instead went to lure the monsters out.
Howl! Howl!...
One by one, Jade-Eyed Tiger Monsters were drawn out of their caves from various directions by Ye Qiu, hot on his heels!
One, two, three...
Soon, at least 20 Tiger Monsters followed behind Ye Qiu!
Luckily, Ye Qiu had the 100-point Agility bonus from the Timid War Cloak.
So at this moment, he could calmly lead the way upfront, retreating and fighting step by step.
No one knew how long he had been running.
Suddenly, "Howl!!!"
An unprecedented howl rang out.
The ground trembled!
The air rippled!
Heavens!
[Rare Tier BOSS — Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend
Level: 15
HP: 12000
Skills: Tiger's Roar in the Forest, Poison Miasma Ground
Likes: All kinds of meat]
"Finally it's out!"
Ye Qiu held his breath, enduring tension.
At last, he reached the end of the fuse, and used the lighter to ignite it!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
The fuse made a slight sound, carrying the smell of gunpowder.
At the same time, "Howl!"
The Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend used its skill — Tiger's Roar in the Forest.
All Low-Tier creatures, were intimidated by this terrifying roar!
However, Ye Qiu was an exception.
His figure only paused briefly, then returned to normal, calm and orderly!
If observed carefully, one would notice there seemed to be something plugged in both of Ye Qiu's ears?
"Earplugs!"
Ye Qiu had prepared in advance.
And before the Rare Tier BOSS "Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend" used its second skill [Poison Miasma Ground], he had already worn the "Gas Mask" purchased from the mall!
Everything, was to slay this Rare Tier BOSS!
Would he succeed?
Honestly, Ye Qiu had no confidence.
In the past life, Rare Tier BOSSes like Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend could never be killed by players!
Only after Level 50 players appeared, could they be subdued
with absolute level and strength!
Therefore, the strategies and experiences from the past life were useless now!
After all, the Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend was eventually killed
because of absolute level suppression!
But now, Ye Qiu was only Level 8!
While the Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend was Level 15, and a Rare Tier BOSS at that!
Its strength far surpassed Common BOSSes of the same level!
However, this lifetime, Ye Qiu already possessed the ability for game and reality to interconnect!
Therefore, everything would change in a heavenly-defying way!
Howl! Howl! Howl!...
Common Level 10 Jade-Eyed Tiger Monsters howled, as if wanting to devour Ye Qiu alive!
It was their first time encountering such a fast human!
As for the Rare Tier BOSS, it used another skill — Poison Miasma Ground!
Whoosh!
A large purple gas cloud spread!
Trees and flowers touched by it withered and decayed!
Especially the trees, which directly turned yellow and rotten!
As for Ye Qiu, [Ding! You are suffering poison miasma attack.]
The system gave a prompt.
Above Ye Qiu's head, numbers like -3, -5, -2 kept popping up.
"It's effective!"
The Gas Mask's divine effect showed its power!
Under normal circumstances, with the skill attack from a Level 15 Rare Tier BOSS, this would cause several hundred points of damage, and it was continuous damage!
But now, it was barely noticeable!
Finally, the fuse burned to the end!
Ye Qiu lured the Common Jade-Eyed Tiger Monsters and the Rare Tier BOSS Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend to the deepest pit at the center!
