Chapter 407 - Instakill the Boss! (1/2)

“The mission’s final location is that mound on top of the hill. If we complete the remaining missions in Winer Town, all the Undead will be gone by then.” Lin Jie explained as he passed some Middle-Grade Invisibility Potions to Bu Yi, “Later on, just follow me.”

Bu Yi looked upon the monsters’ attributes and questioned, “So we have to kill all those monsters? That seems pretty easy.” Those monsters had terrible stats, and even a Priest like her would be able to wipe them all out.

“To obtain the item that can slay the third Boss, the prerequisite is that we cannot kill any Winer Townsfolk, including all those Undead. Based on the system’s usual trend, how will they make the items easily obtainable? There must be a whole lot of traps laid for the players.” Lin Jie chuckled and said, “If we blindly kill the monsters here, we won’t be able to get anything. Let’s go, follow me.”

As they gulped down the potion, Lin Jie and Bu Yi grew blurry, translucent, and then completely vanished in thin air. They began treading carefully up the hill.

Normal-Level Undead did not have a high sensitivity of people, so they would not be discovered if they kept at least a 7 yards distance. However, those Undead had a randomized route, and as such, they would have to be on alert and be adaptable to any changes.

“Silver-Feathered Eagle!”

Screech—

With Silver-Feathered Eagle’s Spirit Vision, Lin Jie was able to have a panoramic view of the surroundings, and all the Undead could not escape his eyes. However, it wasn’t as easy for Bu Yi to avoid the Undead. As a Priest, she had spent most of her time at the back of the team, being protected from monsters and dangers. Thus, she did not have many experiences entering dungeons alone. She looked at the surrounding Undead cautiously with uneasy steps, fearing that she would draw out any aggro.

Lin Jie grabbed Bu Yi’s hands and said gently, “Follow my footsteps and bend down.”

Despite the situation, Bu Yi couldn’t contain the blush that crept up her cheeks. However, she still bent down her head out of instinct and glued her eyes to the ground, fully ignoring all the Undead.

Lin Jie was delighted as he fell the softness in his hands. Although he felt that he took advantage of the situation… it was all for the mission. Didn’t the television channels always show all types of spies and detectives tv shows where officers had to pretend to be a couple when they were on a mission so as to not get exposed? Those couples made out in public, while he only held her hand, so it was still understandable.

After giving himself a ridiculous excuse, Lin Jie held onto Bu Yi’s hand tightly.

At that moment, the Undead were in the best ‘S’ formation that allowed them to move along! Lin Jie activated Wild Charge and bolted up with Bu Yi, whose speed rose quite significantly as well, leaving behind afterimages.

After passing this group of Undead and several other vicious-looking wandering Undead, both of them finally reached their destination, the hill peak.

“You are still not letting go…” Lin Jie only realized that Bu Yi was trying hard to shake her hand out of his hold when her meek voice sounded.

Lin Jie coughed dryly and let go abruptly. “There were too many monsters, I got nervous for a moment.”

Bu Yi’s face grew red like a tomato as she stomped her foot and said, “Let’s go do the mission now.”

Lin Jie nodded, and his Broken Blade was in the excavator mode once again. The mud together with the skeletons had been accumulated and compressed over time, so it was solid and hard to dig through if one did not have at least a Gold weapon. However, the Broken Blade? It was a Heritage weapon, wouldn’t dig some bones be a piece of cake?

On the other hand, Bu Yi… although some manners and etiquette had faded with time, and one-night stands were no longer a rarity, conservative families still existed. Bu Yi’s parents were traditionalists. They were both teachers, and Bu Yi had a strict upbringing. Although holding hands was just a small gesture, it still made her heart thump loudly in her chest.

‘Is she angry?’ Lin Jie eyed Bu Yi while he dug. A pink hue crept up her cheeks, coupled with her large wandering eyes, she was adorable. However, she did not dare to look at Lin Jie.

‘Not angry! Great!’

Lin Jie laughed out, and at that moment, if one were not attentive, they would miss a wisp of grey smoke rose in the air, which vanished soon after.

“Chechechecheche—”

Creepy laughter sounded from the mud as gigantic skeletons with crowns extended their claws towards Lin Jie.

[Bones Overlord]: Lever 39 Gold Boss, Health Points: 280,000

Special Feature: Ability to control the Undead and regenerate bones.

There was a hidden Level 39 Gold Boss! This was the reason why Lin Jie had to team up with Bu Yi, as the Bones Overlord did not have any attack power, but it was capable of controlling all the hundreds on Undead to fight for him. However, they could not kill those Undead and had to tank the damage.

“Shield Cut!”

Lin Jie was all prepared as he used Shield Cut on the Boss’ jawbone, slicing off half his facial structure, and splinters flew everywhere.

-1,728!

Kacha— Kacha—

The impacted area began regenerating as the bones grew out again. A ‘+864′ value popped up above the Boss’ head. Bones Regeneration allowed the BOSS to regain 50% of the damaged health when he was under attack.

“Chechecheche—”

The Bones Overlord’s jaw stretched as shrill musical tones diffused into the air, motivating the Undead as they charged up behind Lin Jie!

-28! -25!
