Two hours had passed in just the blink of an eye. Li Yao, now Level 3, had been killing monsters nonstop. An average player required at least three days to reach Level 3, but it only took Li Yao less than a day.
Moreover, Li Yao went offline and managed to get a few hours of sleep. He became more cautious of his health after his rebirth.
When he went back online, it was already dusk. Li Yao had found the second random treasure chest next to a big tree.
“Opening chest…” beeped the system.
“You have acquired Bronze Shield.”
“You have acquired 65 copper coins.”
“You have acquired Apprentice’s Boots.”
Bronze Shield
Grade: Uncommon (Green)
Block: 15%
Defense: 15
Strength: 3
Endurance: 2
Equipment Requirement: Level 3, Warrior, Knight
Li Yao was pleased with the quality of the Bronze Shield. After inspecting it, he placed the shield in his bag.
Apprentice’s Boots (Light Leather)
Grade: Uncommon (Green)
Defense: 5
Endurance: 2
Increase movement speed by 5%
Equipment Requirement: Level 2
“The stats are trash, but it’s better than nothing.” Li Yao replaced his novice boots with the new ones. His previous boots had only 1 Defense. In the early stages, Hunters could only wear light leather armor. Once they had reached Level 40 and had completed their Class Quests, they would be able to equip heavy leather armor, also known as chainmail or chainmail armor.
The total experience required to level up from Level 3 to Level 4 was too much. Li Yao had been constantly killing elite monsters from day till night and he had only farmed half of the total experience needed. Besides, he had killed hundreds of elite monsters.
If it were not for each material that could be stacked up to 200 items per slot, and the fact that he had been killing the same monster and getting the same materials over and over, his 10-slot backpack would surely not be enough.
“Seems like the final chest cannot be found.”
Li Yao had circled around the valley several times, and the monsters had been constantly refreshed. Unfortunately, he still could not find the third chest.
Roar…
Just as Li Yao was thinking about returning to the city, a loud roar reverberated throughout the valley. Li Yao was delighted, the Raptor King had finally came out to play.
Li Yao dashed forward, nocked an arrow and accurately hit the Velociraptor King’s crown, bringing up the monster’s details.
Velociraptor King (Low-level Leader)
Level: 3
Health: 2000
Attack: 55-65
Defense: 38
Ferocious Bite, Pouncing Claw Attack, King’s Roar
With the Eye of the Creator, Li Yao found out that the Velociraptor King’s weak spots were the same as the elites. The only difference was that the King had an extra skill, higher Attack and of course stronger Defense. If his arrows were to miss the monster’s critical weak spots, his attacks would not inflict any damage on the monster. It would be practically impossible for players in Locked Mode to defeat this kind of boss.
Snap…
-5
His accurate Charged Arrow landed on the Velociraptor King’s leg. The arrow struck its balancing point, causing the Velociraptor King to sway a little but it did not fall. The raptor charged toward Li Yao.
-6
The second arrow hit the same spot, but the Velociraptor King still did not fall.
The raptor pounced at Li Yao with its extended, sharp claws. The claws glowed in bright red, which was the special effect of the Pouncing Claw Strike skill. To make matters worse, the Boss’s Pouncing Claw Strike attack was different than the ones from Elite Velociraptors. Luckily, Li Yao was at Level 3, and his attribute stats had been upgraded exponentially.
While jumping backward, Li Yao’s Charged Arrow accurately pierced one of the Velociraptor King’s blood-red eyes.
-45
The heavy blow slowed the Raptor King’s movement. Li Yao seized these few extra seconds to use Shadow Flip and evaded the raptor’s deadly, glimmering claws.
If he had not learned this skill, he would not be able to dodge its attack even with his agile reflexes. His previous low-attribute body too would not be able to dodge that instant kill.
The raptor’s sharp claws swiped across Li Yao’s face. He felt a slightly chilly sensation brush across his face.
Li Yao used three consecutive Shadow Flips to widen his distance from the Velociraptor King. Then, he continuously shot at the King’s kneecap.
-5 -7 -5 -6
The Velociraptor King screeched in pain as it fell onto the ground. Li Yao moved around to find a perfect shooting angle while continuously attacked the fallen King with Charged Arrows.
After the Velociraptor King had fallen onto the ground, his attack shifted to the weak critical point above the King’s crown.
-8 -10 -9 -8…
One by one, the number of damage points flashed in the corner of Li Yao’s eyes.
Even the Velociraptor King could not leave a single scratch on the edge of Li Yao’s armor. After falling down for the thirteenth time, the King’s crown finally cracked.
Now, Li Yao’s arrows were able to inflict more damage on the King’s crown.
-14 -16 -18…
