Chapter 41: I Forgot
The sky was filled with magical impacts, explosive flames, and charged arrows, forming a torrent that surged towards Starry.
Although it looked terrifying, this concentrated attack was still quite easy to dodge, especially since Zane was currently blessed by the Pride of the Wolf Clan, causing over 70% of the damage to be missed.
Damage numbers floated around him.
-1

-87
-85

…
No, the damage from the magical impact was too high! Starry only had 610 health points and instantly became critically wounded under the focused fire.
+400
He quickly downed a potion, recovering more than half of his health.
“I’m impressed, are you all masters at body outlining!? That must have missed at least half of the time!” Yuhua Xuanlong shouted angrily.
“Boss, didn’t you miss too…” a little mage muttered defensively.
“Huh? Say that again?”
“…” The little mage fell silent in fear.
“Don’t stop the firepower! Knights in the back, surround him now! Once you’re in range, taunt immediately! I want to see what tricks this Starry has left!” Yuhua Xuanlong yelled.
Not good, having the knights surround him would be deadly! He could only take the chance to break through while they were on cooldown!
First, he needed to take out that troublesome commander!
Zane’s eyes sharpened as he activated swift movement and charged towards Yuhua Xuanlong.
“Boss, be careful!”
Seeing the aggressive enemy, Yuhua Xuanlong sneered, “Seeking death! Everyone, attack at the place I marked! If she dares come, she’ll have to pay the price!”
“Yes!” The members behind him shouted in unison and launched their attacks.
“What the hell, I didn’t mean for you to attack now!”
But it was too late, taking advantage of the attack interval, Zane gained a brief moment to breathe and got closer to Yuhua Xuanlong.
-576
-231
After receiving a normal attack from both, Yuhua Xuanlong surprisingly still had a sliver of health left!
“Hahaha, just watch me…” Before he could finish speaking, Starry landed another Ice Moon Slash.
-924
The rapid sequence of attacks was so overwhelming that even the priest didn’t have time to respond and heal.
Yuhua Xuanlong turned into white light and fell.
“Isn’t this too intense? Taking down the boss while enduring fire from dozens of people?”
The crowd fell into temporary chaos.
Withered Bone Shield!
With this shield, any incoming damage would be reduced by 30%, time to break through!
“Damn it, why are you all panicking? The boss just went back to town, continue the focused fire!” Yuhua Dianhuo said angrily.
Unfortunately, Zane had already figured out that as long as he dodged the mage’s attacks, with Starry’s defense, the archers wouldn’t be able to deal significant damage.
As a result, the rate of health loss slowed considerably.
After 30 seconds, Starry broke through the ranged troops and rushed off into the distance.
That was close… I was too overconfident, fortunately, the cohesion and execution of this guild weren’t that great; once the leader died, it turned into total chaos. That gave Zane the opportunity to break through; otherwise, he would have been focused down long ago.
…
“Stop!” An ear-piercing, sharp voice cut through the air.
Zane turned back to see a goblin.
There were no players from Yuhua in sight anymore.
It seemed he had delved deep into the goblin camp; the monsters ahead likely hadn’t been dealt with yet. After all, with such a large map, it wouldn’t be easy to clear.
Spear Goblin
Rarity: Black Iron grade
Level: 15
Health: 750
Attack: 45-50
Defense: 23
Skills: Charge, Sweep
Description: A relatively strong individual among goblins.
The charge should deal huge single-target damage, while the sweep likely serves as an arc-based area attack. With the spear’s range, once the taunting time is over, it might first deal with the backline, making it quite challenging for players to navigate.
However… these attributes still seem inadequate; the skeleton undead in the underground passages were much stronger than this.
“Are you talking to me?” Starry feigned confusion.
“Exactly, how did you sneak in here, human!”
“Ah, well…” Sneak in? No, I came to kill you; didn’t you notice that a large number of your brothers in front of you are dead?
“Ah, what? Since you’ve intruded here… Brothers, tie her up!” the spear goblin shouted loudly.
Unbeknownst to him, six more spear goblins had appeared around him!
“Awwooo——!” Zane had a sudden urge to scare them off.
But instead, they seemed to hear something terrifying and turned to run!
…What’s going on? By all rights, this goblin should be at the ordinary gray wolf level; why are they so afraid? Or is it due to the effects of the Pride of the Wolf Clan?
No matter, let’s follow and see what’s happening.
…
After passing through several narrow paths, a vast goblin camp unfolded before him.
This must be their nest.
The spear goblins that had fled in panic ran into the largest tent.
For safety reasons, let’s have the Wishcaster scout ahead!
“Transform!”
A little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes appeared! Her withered bone equipment remained impressive.
In the wolf form, there wasn’t much to feel, but when transformed into Alna, from Starry’s perspective, there was an indescribable sense of peculiarity.
Looks like I need to check the auction when I have time; Zane had over thirty gold coins on him!
Just as Zane was about to go in, Brother Shiu said, “Achen, when are you going to act? I’ve been waiting forever. You know, I just watched a video where that legendary player you were with brought a pet and killed seven in and out at Yuhua’s territory! It made me want to join!”
“…I forgot to call you.”
“What?” Brother Shiu was confused.
“I mean… I’ve actually already killed my way in with the legendary player.”
“？？？”
“…”
“Damn, I’ve waited half an hour, and you tell me you’ve already killed your way in???” Brother Shiu’s mindset cracked.
“Don’t panic! I got a lot today and have already earned over thirty gold coins!” Zane tried to change the subject.
“Over thirty!? You’re not lying to me, are you? Do you know what the gold price is right now?” Brother Shiu said in shock, clearly pleased with this diversion.
“How much?” Zane became interested.
“1:300! The early game gold prices are ridiculously expensive; basically, only rich second-generation players or major guilds consider farming gold. Even then, gold is still in short supply; the gold dropped by monsters is really low. Plus, repairing equipment and buying potions costs money. If those gold coins are real, that’s 10,000 yuan! You’d break even and earn 5,000 yuan!”
“Holy crap, then I’ll go back and give you the gold coins; you sell them for me and keep half!” Zane said decisively.
“Sure! But you’d better keep some funds for backup; money is really tight in the early game,” Brother Shiu advised.
“Okok, I’ll get back to work now.”
“Alright.” Brother Shiu was puzzled; what did he just want to ask him?
He didn’t expect gold to be so valuable; that means those two talismans are 300 RMB each!
Damn, that swindler! Once I get rich, I’ll definitely deal with you! Zane thought to himself.
