Translator: 549690339
Su Yu didn’t care about these gambling-addicted guys. He had 47 minutes and 58 seconds left until the [Howling Moon Wolf King] siege. He couldn’t waste a single second.
He burst with speed, placing 46 items for 420 each on the shelves, and darted from the crowd in the last few seconds that [Invisibility Skill] lasted.
As the [Invisibility Skill]’s effect wore off, Su Yu’s figure appeared on the outermost part of the crowd.
But then, a huge outcry erupted behind him.
The onlooking players seemed to have noticed that the stall information had been updated and widened their eyes in disbelief at the newly shelved wares:
“What the heck! Am I seeing things?! Did dozens of rare items just pop up on that stall?!”
“OMG! For real! Is this a fixed refresh rare item shop?”
“It’s unlikely; the other villages don’t have this.”
“Regardless, I’m buying first! Level 5 rares only for 420 spiritual energy coins, it’s a steal!”
“I’m envious of rich people, I only have 10 spiritual energy coins.”
Mixed in these gasps of surprise was a heartwrenchingly furious yell:
“Damn! My 50 spiritual energy coins! That’s a thousand bucks!”
But all this had nothing to do with Su Yu anymore.
He folded up his oversized backpack, tucked it into his system bag, then left the mercenary exchange market.
On the small plaza in front of the cargo stack, after buying a [Ice Arrow] scroll for 200 spiritual energy coins, Su Yu ran toward Wolf King Valley at the fastest speed.
[Ice Arrow (Rare)]: Gather frost elements to launch an elemental ice arrow at the target, causing magical damage equal to 300% spell strength, reducing the target’s movement speed by 40% for 3 seconds. Cast time 0.5 seconds, consumes 15 mana points.
Now Su Yu’s running speed was on par with a speeding car on a freeway; he was like a gust of wind.
Moreover, he didn’t hide his figure.
As he dashed past, he immediately attracted many gazes.
“Who is that? He runs so fast!”
“Must be an NPC, maybe there’s a hidden quest?”
“It’s not an NPC, it’s a player! Because the white hat he’s wearing is a [hilltop sheepskin hat], a piece of equipment made by a tailor player.” “It really is a player! How can a player run so fast?”
“I got it. He’s using a ‘speed gear’ cheat. Everybody report him!”
“I recorded a video, I’m going to post it on the forum now.”
Soon after, the news of “Flying man appears in Newbie Village No.6” spread both online and offline.
Combined with the two big events: “The monster attack” and “A large number of rare items appear in the mercenary exchange market”, Village No.6 instantly became the focus of all players, outshining the previously No.l village — Sunny Wind Village.
A large number of players flocked in from all other villages.
While the village was abuzz, it became the main area where the players gathered.
None of these mattered to Su Yu, the initiator of all these events didn’t know about them. He already reached the depths of Wolf King Valley.
Facing the formidable Wolf King and its minions, Su Yu dared not to be careless.
He rested against a big tree for a while, slowly regaining his stamina.
While resting, he quickly glanced at his attribute panel.
The full set of max-speed gear dropped his spell strength to 61 points. The gear-added attributes of [Spell Penetration] and [Casting Speed] have also gone.
But it didn’t matter.
No matter how much health the Wolf King had, victory was assured if his plan succeeded.
After resting,
Su Yu walked out from behind the tree, slowly but firmly towards the Wolf King.
He drank a vial of [Minor Potion of Wisdom], Intelligence +10 (the medium one can only be used after reaching level 10).
Then casually cast a [Frost Shield].
Following, he summoned a [Rock Elemental] using a scroll and instructed the [Rock Elemental] to follow him.
Looking at the Wolf King,
The wolves in the valley had already formed a square under the restraint of the [Elite Wolf King Guard].
The [Howling Moon Wolf King] proudly paced at the forefront of the square, reviewing its troops.
Seeing Su Yu stride towards them alone, a glint of anthropomorphic confusion flashed in its eyes.
Did this foolish human not see its mighty wolf army?
Was it not afraid to die here?
Su Yu simply continued his journey.
After entering the 40-meter spell range, he raised his hand and threw out a [Lightning Bolt].
Crackle!
-147!
The [Lightning Bolt] accurately hit the wolf king’s thick back, creating a small charred mark.
“The damage is fine, it seems the wolf king’s defense is not too high,” Su Yu silently nodded in agreement.
Awooo!
The wolf king was furious!
This petty human dared to attack it! Dared to attack it! Attack it! It!
This was unbearable for the wolf king!
The figure of the wolf king instantly disappeared and with a speed nearly invisible to the naked eye, it charged towards Su Yu.
The wolf pack was also enraged!
They dared to harm their leader in front of them! They needed to tear apart his throat and devour his flesh to quench their thirst for vengeance!
Under the leadership of a dozen [Elite Wolf King Guards], hundreds of [Howling Moon Wolves] ferociously charged towards Su Yu, intending to cut off his escape route.
For a moment, a hundred wolves dashed ahead.
The scene appeared incredibly spectacular!
The skill unleashed by the wolf king was [Pounce], similar to a warrior’s [Charge], allowing it to reach the enemy in an extremely short time.
Su Yu remained extremely calm.
He accurately calculated the moment of the wolf king’s arrival. As it was about to reach his side, he used [Flash Skill].
Whoosh!
Su Yu left his original spot, leaving the wolf king pouncing at thin air.
After steadying himself, he immediately launched the [Ice Arrow] at the wolf king, while also throwing a scroll of [Lesser Fireball Skill] with his left hand.
-107!
-113!
Both spells accurately struck the forehead of the wolf king. Fire and ice combined, an extreme indulgence!
The wolf king evidently did not enjoy such indulgence.
After missing its pounce, it let out a howl on the spot, its body enlarged by 30%, and charged again towards Su Yu who was 20 meters away.
The slowing effect of the [Ice Arrow] decreased the wolf king’s speed.
However, as a rare boss, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] had a considerable resistance to abnormal states. The [Ice Arrow] could only slow it down by 20%, and the duration was also reduced from 4 seconds to less than 3 seconds.
But after observing the wolf king’s current speed, Su Yu sighed in relief.
The speed of the wolf king, after being slowed down by the [Ice Arrow], was faster than him, but only just. Relying on his past life’s experience, he could easily toy with the wolf king!
Su Yu quickly turned around, leading the wolf king towards the direction of the cliff.
While running away, he also gave the [Rock Elemental] at his side the last command – to delay the wolf pack!
The thick-set rock elemental, with its slow pace, bravely advanced towards the wolf pack.
Upon approaching the wolf pack, the rock elemental unleashed [Mass Taunt], targeting all wild wolves in range!
The wolves at the front affected by the taunt halted their advance and launched attacks at the rock elemental.
The Lone Rock elemental only lasted 5 seconds in the wolf pack before crumbling into piles of rocks.
However, the objective had been achieved, Su Yu had already led the Wolf King far away..
