Hu Die Lan

Chapter 170 Yan Nu Wu First Kill

"Interrupt! Interrupt!"

Baozi Invasion's voice kept coming through the headphones.

This guy always immersed himself in the game. He would often provide sound effects for punches and kicks that originally didn't have them, like in old Hong Kong martial arts movies, where every punch and kick had an extremely sharp sound. His loud shouting often disrupted opponents' minds in the arena. But honestly, Baozi Invasion didn't add sound effects for strategic purposes. Just like now, when fighting a Boss, he definitely wouldn't be affected by these disturbances, but he still shouted anyway.

To interrupt the Fire Witch's ultimate skill, Ye Xiu could easily do it with Lord Grim's variety of skills as an unspecialized class. But at this time, he intentionally gave Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion some opportunities to practice, letting them have some chances. It was just killing a Boss, and there was no rush.

Due to their lack of experience, in such a long process of killing a Boss with four people, it was impossible for the two of them not to make any mistakes.

"Not good!! Dodge!!" Ye Xiu suddenly shouted loudly, but this time Tang Rou, who was responsible for interrupting the Meteor Star Fall, was half a beat too slow. Ye Xiu noticed and wanted to make up for it, but it was too late, so he quickly shouted a warning to the others.

Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist was already outside the skill's range, so she was very safe. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim used a Shadow Clone Technique, leaving a fake body behind as his real body instantly escaped. The most embarrassed were Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion.

Both were melee classes, so of course, they were fighting the Fire Witch up close. Because of this mistake, a magic barrier formed around them, the air above boiling as if it were a burning sky. Fireballs, large and small, with fiery tails, fell rapidly. Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion quickly made their characters flee, but it was impossible to escape completely unscathed. The sky was filled with falling meteorites, and the sky and the ground were instantly a sea of fire. When the two rushed out of the range, they each had only a sliver of health left, and retreated to the side with pale faces to take medicine and recover.

Fortunately, the range of Meteor Star Fall couldn't be changed as the caster moved, otherwise, if the Fire Witch had pursued either of them for a little longer, they would have been sent back to Empty City by now.

"My fault," Tang Rou said. She wasn't the type to be stubborn and unwilling to face her mistakes, she just always wanted to correct and improve quickly.

"Pay attention to the timing." Ye Xiu didn't have much to say. He had already pointed out when to attack, and now it was up to each of them to grasp it themselves. It all depended on their reactions and judgment, and Ye Xiu couldn't help them.

The successfully cast Meteor Star Fall really burned this part of the Scarlet Forest into a sea of flames. After the Fire Witch shrieked with laughter several times in the flames, she continued to wave her staff and charged towards the others.

"Don't take it to heart, attack!" Ye Xiu led the others to continue attacking.

He didn't just let Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion practice blindly. For example, at this time, both of their health was low, and if they failed to interrupt a skill again, they could die directly. In this case, Ye Xiu would take over the interruption, completing it with his superb operation with a 100% success rate.

Ripping Wave Cut!

This time, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim used a skill from the Magic Swordsman class. When the sword's edge picked up the Fire Witch, it would form a magic barrier to lock her inside, and then create a ripping wave to attack the Fire Witch by rotating and cutting around the axis. If there were other targets nearby, the rotating ripping wave would also cause damage to those targets. After the rotating attack ended, the ripping wave would explode, blasting the target away, just like the Fire Witch now, who had been blasted to the ground.

The battle continued.

With such sustained combat, even a top professional like Ye Xiu couldn't avoid accidents. More or less, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lord Grim also took some damage. The only one who hadn't taken any damage was Cleansing Mist, who had been attacking from a distance all along.

This was a battle that was measured in hours, not minutes.

Time flowed by bit by bit.

The players in the entire tenth server didn't know that such a difficult and intense battle was taking place in the Scarlet Forest. Four characters attempting to hunt a wild Boss, the Fire Witch, who was six levels higher than them, was simply something that didn't exist in players' minds.

All the players from the major guilds were still running dungeons of appropriate levels. The wild Bosses they cared about were still limited to Frost Forest, Burial Grounds, Luring Land, and First Line Gorge.

Scarlet Forest? This was almost on the agenda. The characters at the forefront were all past level 32, and once they reached level 33, the work of hunting the Fire Witch in the Scarlet Forest would begin. First Line Gorge and Luring Land had all been like this.

One o'clock.

One thirty.

Two o'clock.

Two thirty.

"Luring Land should be done by now, right?" Blue River and his brothers had already finished three runs of the dungeon. He thought that Lord Grim wouldn't be that late. It had been two and a half hours since the record had been broken. Did this mean that Lord Grim was also helpless with the Luring Land record?

This was only the first day, so Blue River didn't dare to be too optimistic. He just breathed a sigh of relief, and wasn't quite ready to laugh yet.

"Let's go, to Luring Land," Blue River said. They had just finished running First Line Gorge.

Just as they were changing battlefields, a system message suddenly appeared.

System Announcement: Player Lord Grim, Cleansing Mist, Soft Mist, Baozi Invasion have completed the first kill of the Fire Witch Kasha.

Mixed in with the chaotic world messages, this system announcement looked as absurd and ridiculous as those newbie players who used world chat to say childish things.

Fire Witch First Kill!!!

Those who could react strongly to this were definitely old players, veterans, experts!

The moment this message came out, Blue River was instantly stunned, and the four brothers beside him also stopped moving forward.

At this time, they were all doing the same thing in front of their computers, using the mouse to drag the system message that had been drowned out by the world messages back up, and everyone carefully and meticulously read it again, making sure that every word was correct.

"Fire Witch?" Blue River saw it and still couldn't believe it.

The Fire Witch of the Scarlet Forest?

It wasn't just Blue River who had this question.

However, these high-level players, who were extremely familiar with Glory, knew very well that there was only one Fire Witch in this world.

"No way!!"

All the high-level players in the tenth server let out such exclamations from their computers.

Even in the Happy Internet Cafe at this time, there were a few sporadic screams.

The initial wave of the opening of the tenth server had passed. The Glory players in Happy Internet Cafe were no longer mainly from the tenth server. The old players who stayed up all night were mostly from other servers. They couldn't see this message, so of course, they were indifferent.

The few who reacted didn't know each other, and could only discuss it with their friends in the game in surprise.

Lord Grim was the night shift manager of Happy Internet Cafe. This wasn't yet widely known. Otherwise, Ye Xiu would have been surrounded and watched many times before when he broke records at night.

"Finally killed it..." In Happy Internet Cafe, Ye Xiu and Tang Rou also breathed a sigh of relief, watching the Fire Witch on the screen suddenly turn into a ball of fire after taking the final blow. In the jumping flames, they could vaguely see her twisted face. After suddenly rushing into the sky, the flames completely went out, leaving behind only a few pieces of equipment and materials.

Three and a half hours!!

It took them a full three and a half hours to take down the Fire Witch. It was evident how difficult it was to deal with a wild Boss who was six levels higher. Tang Rou's Soft Mist and Baozi Invasion had struggled on the line of death many times. Not to mention Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was carefree all the way. Tang Rou could tell at a glance that this guy had energy to spare and hadn't used his full strength, which was worthy of contempt.

"Not easy, not easy. Let's see what dropped." Ye Xiu said, stepping forward to look at the dropped equipment and materials.

"Scarlet Stone, hmm, I'll take this!" Ye Xiu picked up this material.

"Crimson Flame Staff, level 35 purple weapon! It's a rare item, but unfortunately, none of us can use it. Let's keep it to sell for money or exchange for equipment!" Ye Xiu looked at the second item.

"Crimson Flame Robe, level 35 blue cloth armor, adds fire resistance, this... none of us are cloth armor classes, no need, we can only sell it for money." The third item.

"Oh, Crimson Moon Belt... someone's lucky. Take it, now your entire set is complete." The Fire Witch dropped items from levels 30-35. The fourth item was another Crimson Moon Belt for Tang Rou. Although she already had one, she could take it to the market to exchange it, just like before.

"Fire Sprite Ring... another one that adds fire resistance, how boring..." The fifth item was also a blue equipment, a level 30 ring that added fire resistance. This type of equipment only had an effect when encountering special enemies. Under normal circumstances, it was no different from a blank board that only added magic defense.

"Four pieces of equipment dropped, including a purple weapon, not bad." Ye Xiu nodded.

"Did we get rich?" Baozi Invasion asked happily.

"It's not that exaggerated!" Ye Xiu said, but found that these people had all given up on the items, except for Tang Rou, who shook the Crimson Moon Belt and clicked it.

Facing everyone's trust, Ye Xiu didn't say much. After picking everything up, he traded the Crimson Flame Staff to Baozi Invasion: "Selling it for 200 gold coins is no problem. That's enough to complete your entire set."

"Really? That's awesome!" Baozi Invasion excitedly accepted.

The other two pieces of equipment, the Crimson Flame Robe and the Fire Sprite Ring, were less useful in the long run, but right now, there would soon be players who reached level 33 and came to the Scarlet Forest to venture out. Fire resistance equipment could help them reduce some difficulty, and it might be marketable if we promoted it.

"Alright! Let's go back to the dungeon!"

The world was going crazy and shocked by this first kill, but Ye Xiu didn't take it seriously. As for Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion? They didn't take this Fire Witch too seriously either. The six-level level suppression only made their damage low and their attack effects poor, leading to a relatively long and drawn-out battle. Although they escaped death many times, technically speaking, the two of them really didn't think that killing this Boss was difficult at all.

"This is very simple!" This was the final comment from Tang Rou.
