Chapter 44 - A Costly Expedition
“Damn it, this time I spent 2 million and hired 300 people, all of whom died, just to push through to this ghostly place. If we don’t even catch a glimpse of the boss, you’re dead meat!”
Mo Aotian raised his fist, a hint of a threatening expression on his face.
The nameless man’s face instantly changed. With a smile, he said, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, we definitely won’t disappoint you bosses.”
Having said that, a trace of disdain flashed through his heart.
These dumbasses, besides having money, they’ve got nothing.
When Yin Dog Xuan Yue and Mad Dog Qian Chonglang brought him here before, only three people died.
This group of idiots hired over 300 people to charge in, not only did they all die, even their own guild lost dozens of people. What a bunch of trash.
“Actually, whether we can kill the boss or not doesn’t matter. The most important thing in life is the feeling, the experience. That’s very important.”
Mo Aotian spread his hands, looking wistful, his tone very flamboyant.
“Let’s go, stop wasting time with this nonsense.” Qi Tun Tianxia was very annoyed by their rambling.
Each wild zone has a different refresh time, but most are half an hour. They’ve been clearing this place for so long, the monsters are probably about to respawn soon.
It would really suck to spend 2 million and not even see the boss in the end, only to be killed by the minions.
“Let’s go, go, go, I’m already impatient to see what the boss looks like. Damn it, the guilds have monopolized everything outside, we can’t even catch a glimpse.”
“Exactly, this crappy game is too much of a rip-off. There’s not even a way to recharge. Isn’t this clearly making things difficult for me, the pay-to-win overlord?”
The group complained for a bit, then cursing and swearing, followed the nameless man deeper into the Skeleton Graveyard.
“Qi Tun Tianxia, where are you?”
A message suddenly popped up on Qi Tun Tianxia’s friend interface.
“Mad Dog? What does he want with me?”
Qi Tun Tianxia was a bit suspicious. As one of the twelve Legendary players, Mad Dog had always looked down on him. He wouldn’t normally seek him out.
“I’m at…some place called Skeleton Graveyard, accompanying some rich folks to experience life.”
“Skeleton Graveyard?! Is that the level 30 wild zone?”
“What are you making such a fuss about? Seems like…it is.”
Qi Tun Tianxia was a bit dissatisfied.
“Hurry back! Don’t go looking for death!”
“Looking for death? Heh, no need for you to worry about that. We’re a professional team, we won’t die.”
Having said that, he ended the conversation and blocked the guy for good measure.
“This Mad Dog, just because he’s one of the twelve legendary players, he looks down on me. What, only you guys are allowed to kill monsters and raid bosses above your level to show off?”
With a contemptuous laugh, Qi Tun Tianxia continued following the nameless man.
The moment he stepped on a shattered skull,
“Whoosh!”
Two sounds of arrows piercing the air rang out.
“-357!”
“-121!”
Mo Aotian was struck by two arrows and disappeared in a flash of light.
“F*ck! Didn’t you say there were no more small monsters?” Fen Aotian retreated in fright, looking displeased.
“Old Dun, hurry and put up your shield to block!”
“Old Qi, quick, send out your donkey mount to block the arrows!”
The group panicked. Dun Aotian and Qi Aotian were stunned for a moment before reacting.
One raised his shield, the other released his donkey, blocking in front of the group.
Armor-Piercing Arrow!
Shockwave Arrow!
Destructive Arrow!
Slowing Arrow!
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Within four seconds, four arrows carrying four different effects shot over.
“Old Dun, Old Qi, can you block them?”
“Rest assured, I’m a level 12 Shield-Swordsman with a full set of white-quality equipment. I have 500 HP and 35 defense. I can’t even block a mere level 20 archer?”
Dun Aotian held his shield in one hand, taking out an Intermediate Health Potion that could restore 300 HP with the other, ready to immediately use it to replenish his health as soon as it dropped.
“Clang clang clang clang!”
The four arrows struck the shield, producing four metallic clangs.
[You are affected by Armor-Piercing Arrow, defense reduced by 50 points for 10 seconds.]
[You are affected by Destructive Arrow. Due to the -15 defense penetration effect, damage is increased by 375 points. Explodes after 1 second, blast radius 3×3 meters.]
[You are affected by Shockwave Arrow. Your shield is shattered, its 50% damage reduction effect is lost. Every 0.5 seconds for 3 seconds, you are stunned.]
[You are affected by Slowing Arrow, movement speed reduced by 30%.]
“Holy sh*t! Explosive arrow! 375 damage? Quick…”
Dun Aotian was just about to tell his teammates hiding behind him to run, but the next moment he was stunned by the Shockwave effect.
Immediately after,
“Boom!” The second stage damage of Destructive Arrow detonated.
An earth-shattering explosion!
Instantly, four Undead Mages who had just reached 350 HP, along with the focused-fired Dun Aotian, disappeared in a flash of light.
Oh, and it took out a donkey too.
The lucky survivors Qi Tun Tianxia and the others were shocked senseless.
“Damn? These two archers’ damage is so explosive? And their skills refresh so quickly?”
“Hmm? Blood Hell Skeleton Assault Captain’s subordinates?” Qi Tun Tianxia’s face changed. He suddenly thought of something and looked behind the two archers.
“Holy crap, that thing in the block of ice, could it be…”
