Chapter 17: Fireball? No, Rocket Launcher!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Another white light flashed before his eyes.

Lin Lei looked at the clean and refreshing ground in front of him and couldn’t help but nod.

These five arrogant fellows had already been sent back to the entrance of the instance dungeon.

Lin Lei’s solo farming had destroyed all their equipment.

However, Lin Lei didn’t expect that these people were all wearing whiteboards.

However, there was also a good superior weapon.

Lin Lei picked up the equipment that they had dropped.

When he saw the shield on the warrior,

He was surprised to find that this shield was much better than his newbie shield.

This saved Lin Lei the trouble of farming monsters.

This warrior still had something on him.

Lin Lei immediately equipped himself.

He took a look at the message.

[Weapon: Shield of the Beast (Refined)]

[Defense: 20/20]

[Durability: 100/100]

[Prerequisite: Level 5, Warrior]

[Description: A leather shield made from the fur of wild beasts. Although it can’t block fatal injuries, it’s generally enough.]

Consumes 1 Durability per hour after being attacked.]

After equipping his shield, Lin Lei held a staff in one hand and a shield in the other.

This made him feel more secure than before.

In a multiplayer dungeon, other than paying attention to the sneak attacks of other players…

He also needed to attack all kinds of monsters.

There were no other teams around now.

Lin Lei simply began to kill the surrounding monsters.

Multiplayer dungeons encouraged players to kill each other.

However, there would still be points awarded for killing monsters.

Lin Lei couldn’t be bothered to look for those teams.

With his current speed, it was one fireball per half a second.

It was also easy to kill the monsters.

He moved quickly.

In just a moment, he had already killed a few monsters in the multiplayer dungeon.

Just as Lin Lei was engrossed in farming monsters…

Suddenly, a notification sounded.

[Emergency Mission: There are five bosses in the dungeon at the same time. Kill them within a limited time and you will receive double the points.]

Lin Lei killed the howling wolf-headed monster in front of him.

He opened the map.

Of these five bosses, the other four were far away.

Only one was not far from him.

Lin Lei thought to himself, ‘Perfect.’

Wasn’t this boss obviously here to give him experience points?

Lin Lei immediately rushed over.

The location of the Boss was the only empty space in this complex.

On the way there, Lin Lei’s map didn’t show any red arrows.

This meant that the other players were not assigned to this area.

Perhaps the five-man team they encountered not long ago was just a coincidence.

Lin Lei’s speed was very fast.

Not long after, he found the location of the Boss on the map.

This Boss was a huge tree.

It was planted on the empty space in the middle of the building.

It was very eye-catching.

As soon as Lin Lei arrived, he saw the bright red symbol on its head.

This meant that to Lin Lei, this Boss’ level was a little dangerous.

He might not be able to win.

Facing such a powerful Boss, Lin Lei’s first reaction was to prepare all his equipment.

Fortunately, he did not suffer any injuries along the way.

Thus, Lin Lei didn’t need to take any pills before the battle.

His fingers moved extremely quickly.

After a while, he checked his entire body.

The durability of the weapon could last for a while.

The durability of the other equipment on his body had also been replenished.

Now, he could face the boss directly.

Lin Lei once again confirmed that there were no other player teams on the map.

He held the staff in one hand and moved the shield in front of him with the other.

Then, Lin Lei charged out.

The moment he rushed out, the tree discovered him.

The boss let out a furious roar.

[Monster: Proud Tree Folk]

[Level: 6]

[HP: 40]

[Attack Power: 5~5]

[Defense: 7]

[Skills: Vine Entanglement, Flying Leaf Knife]

[Description: The treants with their feet deeply planted in the ground don’t like to move around. They hate enemies who invade their territory. They will fight to the death.]

The message that flashed past only made Lin Lei glance at it.

He stopped paying attention to it.

The Boss discovered him and many tree roots emerged from the ground.

These tree roots seemed to be alive.

It coiled towards Lin Lei.

As Lin Lei dodged, he carefully approached.

However, there were too many tree roots.

Lin Lei had nowhere to dodge.

He calculated his remaining mental strength.

Then, he generously sent a fireball at the tree root.

As soon as the fireball touched the treeman’s tree root,

It was as if gasoline had been poured on it, and it instantly ignited.

The boss let out a scream.

The tree roots on the ground immediately decreased significantly.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Lei advanced towards the treants.

The treant endured the pain, and the tree crown that was like an arm shook again.

Many leaves fell.

However, they did not land on the ground. Instead, they seemed to have their own tracking ability.

It locked onto Lin Lei.

These leaves were another skill of the Boss.

Unable to dodge in time, Lin Lei raised the excellent shield he had just obtained in front of him.

This shield was not as big as a beginner’s shield.

But as long as Lin Lei curled up at the back, he would be able to cover him.

A metallic sound came from the shield.

The treant’s leaf attacks were all blocked by the shield.

If it landed on Lin Lei, he would definitely lose a few points of blood.

He waited for a gap in the skill.

Lin Lei counted the time it took for the leaves to be released.

As he waited for the leaves to stop, he suddenly jumped out from behind the shield.

The fireballs in his hands kept flying towards the boss.

It was now within his range.

The fireball touched the treant’s tree body.

It was like boiling oil.

The treant screamed.

It was constantly hit by Lin Lei.

The leaves were charred by the fireball.

The treant struggled to resist.

However, the roots that protruded from the ground…

Was no threat to Lin Lei at all.

Lin Lei had long since noticed the movements on the ground.

He had already escaped before the tree root came out.

While dodging the treants’ attacks, he used Fireball.

Fireball was the skill with the highest attack power.

It was also very convenient to use.

If he used a weapon like a sword…

Even if he could attack, he had to rely on the treant to be very close.

If he was not careful, Lin Lei would be injured.

Therefore, it was not a bad idea to use fireballs for long-range attacks.

After a few rounds.

The treant was finally killed by Lin Lei.

Amidst the flames, the treant let out a final wail.

It had been burned to ashes by Lin Lei.

[Killed “Proud Tree Folk”. Experience +30]

He heard the system notification.

Only now did Lin Lei heave a sigh of relief.

He walked forward slowly.

In the pile of ashes, there were many items dropped by the Boss.

Lin Lei didn’t have time to take a closer look.

He only glanced at it briefly.

He realized that these were basically props and equipment.

As Lin Lei picked them up, he casually glanced at the equipment information.

A few of them looked good.

Unfortunately, they were all useless.

Lin Lei didn’t intend to keep the white-level equipment.

He’d sell them all.

But when Lin Lei picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground…

He was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this Boss did drop something good.
