Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When they reached the fourth floor, Li Yi himself started reminiscing about this place. Back then, he could not survive here. However, things were different now, he had past experiences and stronger players with him, including himself of course.
Li Yi turned around and said, “Everyone, we just need to work hard when we attack the monsters on this floor. We don’t need to spend too much effort in killing this boss, do you understand!”
Everyone was a little confused, but they still decided to roll with whatever Li Yi said. Since he said that they should just focus on attacking, then they should focus on attacking. After all, it was impossible for all of them to be wiped out all at once. Otherwise, the guild title of being number one in the Novice Village would be tarnished.
Soon, everyone saw the attributes of the boss of this floor. It looked to be like a huge maggot. Its body squirmed uncomfortably on the floor, oozing goo whenever it moved.
[Boss: Level 11 Insect Queen]

[Quality: Black-iron (Nightmare Bonus)]
[Health: 200,000]

[Physical Attack: ???]
[Physical Defense: ???]
[Magic Defense: ???]
[Nightmare Skill: ???]
[Black-iron skill: ???]
…
Clutch King walked over in confusion and patted its fat and squirmish body. “This thing can attack? All it has is a lot of health. It’ll take just a bunch of our efforts to attack it. Maybe the dungeon is finally giving us a breather.”
Li Yi did not tell anyone anything further. Instead, he pointed behind it, and countless green ants the size of locusts swarmed over, and these green ants instantly enveloped Clutch King!!
1
Although the damage was only a forced reduction of 1 HP, the terrifying amount of bugs caused Clutch King’s HP to drop rapidly. He had no choice but to immediately drink a Health Potion, and the Magic Apprentices also had to heal him to save his life.
[Level 3 Green Water Ant (Nightmare)]
[HP: 10]
[Physical Attack: 100]
[Defense: 1]
Before level 10, if you did not have a Defense Potion to support you, your defense would not be able to reach above 100. There was no end to these ants, and a sea of them would crush you.

At this moment, the insect mother’s body was squirming wildly as it continued to produce more tiny bugs with all its might. In the blink of an eye, everyone had already sunk from a sea of larvae. Each player was unable to move as countless larvae bit at them.
1
There was only one person who was not struggling as much as the rest, and that was the person with the Magic Shield, Snow Chaser! This magic shield could perfectly separate her and these larvae!
Li Yi directly shouted, “Hurry up! All of you, come up and attack! Magic Apprentices, heal each other, don’t die from these weak larvae!”
With that, Li Yi also initiated his attacks towards the Insect Queen. This boss could be said to be simple, or it could be said to be difficult. In any case, players would definitely die without the support of a Defense Potion.
That was why Li Yi was certain that this Defense Potion had become very popular. Little Merchant need not worry about not being able to sell it.

At this moment, everyone finally realized how powerful this boss was. This boss did not need to deal any damage at all, because it had tons of underlings to gang up on the players to deal the damage!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone immediately surrounded the Insect Queen and used all their strength to attack it. After each skill cooldown, they would use their staffs and hammers to physically attack it. They were so desperate in attacking the Queen as they did not want to endure this dungeon boss for even a second more!
In four or five minutes, no matter how much health the Insect Queen had, it could no longer withstand the frenzied attacks from everyone. In the blink of an eye, its health bar was depleted!
The boss wailed and died. This boss had also been docked and looted; not a single piece of equipment had dropped, only a few game coins!
“Damn, this boss is too stingy, sending us off with just a few coins? This boss is the most stingy and disgusting boss I’ve ever met!”
Clutch King directly pointed at the boss’s corpse and shouted loudly. Everyone was also deeply disappointed with this lack of loot that this boss dropped. After replenishing their health and mana, they headed for the fifth floor.
…
As they slowly entered the fifth floor, the lights inside instantly lit up. This attempt lighted up the entire fifth floor for everyone to see. At the top of the hall, a general in silver armor sat quietly on a throne. His left hand held a broad sword that glowed as bright as flashes of lighting. On the left side of the throne was a large shield with a strange design.
When everyone entered the hall, there was a sudden sound that rang from afar. A horse that was covered in silver armor came out and galloped to the side of the warrior.
Li Yi went straight to the point, “Everyone, look carefully. This guy’s attributes are very high. If you can dodge, then dodge. Do not attack recklessly. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!”
He went forward to check the boss’s attributes.
[Boss: Level 12 Great General Gulei]
[Quality: Gray-silver (Nightmare Bonus)]
[Attributes: ???]
…
This boss was 3 levels higher, no other attributes could be seen anymore. Even the HP bar of the boss could not be seen. Unless the boss had some kind of detection method to protect his attributes, no one could see anything more than his name and quality.
Although they could not see the power of the attack, everyone with a brain could see that the broad sword that flashed lighting definitely had a high attack power.
Li Yi stepped forward and struck the boss with a critical hit. The amount of HP that was reduced dropped by a little. It seemed that the HP of the boss was definitely above 40,000.
The general woke up immediately after being attacked. He stood up and quickly got on to his warhorse. He raised the broad sword in his hand and roared loudly.
“Puny humans, how delicious you all look today! Let me use your skulls as wine cups! Use your blood as wine, and use your flesh to fill my stomach! Hahahaha!”

After that, dark clouds covered the sky, and countless lighting struck down. Fortunately, everyone hid far away, and no one died. Li Yi, on the other hand, took a few hits.
“-706.”
“-656.”
…
This attack was something he himself had to tank. In the past, when they fought this boss, the beginning meant that someone had to sacrifice for the team. Now, it was different. Li Yi did not care about this little bit of damage.
While the boss was busy casting his spell, Li Yi immediately released his skill. Raging Blood Roar stunned the boss on the spot and it was an effective hit. This allowed Li Yi to attack the boss too.
“-390.”
“-430.”
“-775.”
…
The boss instantly recovered from the stun and suddenly raised his broad sword. The broad sword suddenly split into three streams of shadow that formed around the sword into a dazzling fan shape. Li Yi could not avoid it and was directly enveloped by the three streams!
“-350.”
“-361.”
With the experience from his past life, Li Yi only attacked the general. He rarely attacked the horse under the boss. If he killed the horse, the other party would then go Berserk without a cooldown. All the members would be finished if that happened.
Not long after, under Li Yi’s fierce attack, the boss’s HP dropped significantly. The skills that were released during this period — with the support of the Defense Potions — in Li Yi’s opinion, were not painful at all!
Right when the boss had only 10% HP left, Li Yi turned around and shouted, “Hurry up and leave. Go down to the fourth floor and dodge this attack. Otherwise, you will all definitely die.”
Everyone immediately came back to their senses and quickly ran towards the fourth floor. Right when everyone ran down, the boss raised its broad sword high up and shouted loudly, “Great God of Thunder, I have given up all my beliefs. I, General Gulei, Ancient Thunder, seek for your help and to fall into the Lightning Field of Hell!”
In the next moment, Li Yi’s feet had turned into a sea of thunder. Above his head, there was also the sound of thunder and flashes of lighting. At this moment, the thunder had also condensed into the shadow of a person, the shadow of the God of Thunder.
Li Yi smiled faintly and activated the perfect skill for this occasion. This skill included the use of his newly equipped ring.
“Lost Magic!”
“Invincibility!”
Once Li Yi was bathed in the sea of thunder, he did not receive any damage. If the boss had any emotions, he would probably die from anger watching Li Yi not get damaged.
Taking advantage of his Invincibility skill, Li Yi immediately went forward and launched a large-scale attack.. Soon, the boss let out a final wail. The boss knelt down on the ground in defeat and dropped a lot of loot!
