The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

Lin Yuan gently patted the little black dog, and it stopped.

We've arrived.

"Lin Yuan?" A middle-aged man approached, looked Lin Yuan up and down carefully, and then nodded. "I am Ai Qingshan. Please come with me."

Then, they wandered around and around until they finally entered a valley.

There are many more people here, at least a hundred or so.

Deep in the valley, Lin Yuan finally saw the BOSS.

This is a giant stone man, about 100 meters tall, with a size that defies description—it's like standing in front of a 30-story building and looking up at the top.

It's huge, fucking huge!

The defining characteristic of wild bosses is their sheer size; they can easily be tens or even hundreds of meters tall. You don't even need to fight them; just their mere presence is enough to create a sense of oppression.

"Stand far away for now, and only go when you're told to make your move," Ai Qingshan said to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan quickly said, "Captain Ai, I'd like to try a one-on-one fight."

"What!" Ai Qingshan thought he had misheard and quickly asked, "What did you say?"

Lin Yuan looked shy, but what he said was terrifying: "I want to try taking on the BOSS one-on-one."

hiss!

Ai Qingshan heard it, and so did the others, and they all gathered around.

"Junior brother, are you still half asleep? If you weren't completely drunk, you wouldn't have said such things, would you?" a slightly younger man said.

Lin Yuan still smiled: "Can't I even give it a try?"

Ai Qingshan shook his head: "I'm afraid you'll die if you try."

"It's alright, I have ways to protect myself," Lin Yuan insisted. "Give me a chance."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Someone said, "Captain, since he's so insistent and even has a way to save his life, let him try. These young people nowadays, they won't learn until they hit a wall. Let him learn from his mistakes."

"Exactly, let him give it a try."

"I bet he'll slink back in less than 10 seconds."

"Captain, say yes quickly!"

Many people advised him against it, and after a moment's thought, Ai Qingshan finally nodded: "Okay, you can give it a try."

Lin Yuan was afraid they would make a move, because even a slight touch could take away a portion of the BOSS's experience. Hearing Ai Qingshan finally agree, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The opportunity has been seized, but whether or not we can win is another matter entirely.

Although he did kill a Gold Boss, firstly, the Leopard King was only level 80, and secondly, it was a boss in a secret realm, which is completely incomparable to a real wild boss.

This is definitely a huge challenge.

But his expression was resolute.

We absolutely have to try it.

He left the group first, and whoosh, the next moment, he rushed over.

The BOSS, however, seemed completely indifferent to this little ant. Even though he had noticed his approach, he didn't give him a second glance and just stood there.

Bang!

Lin Yuan struck it with a stick... on the instep.

There was nothing he could do; the BOSS was too tall. Even though Lin Yuan jumped high, he could only reach the top of its feet.

It's not that Lin Yuan can't jump any higher, but the higher he jumps, the longer he stays in the air, which means he has more time to lose control of himself—and he doesn't have the ability to fly, so being in mid-air makes him a target, doesn't it?

He didn't activate any special effects; this was just a basic attack that dealt a mere 2000+ points of damage.

It's worth noting that Lin Yuan's strength is over 5400, and with the added damage from the Moon Goddess Necklace, his normal attack should deal over 8000 damage. Yet, it only dealt a mere 2000 damage, demonstrating just how strong the BOSS's defense is.

but!

The special effects of the Wuji Staff are awesome!

The Blood Shadow Impact was activated, instantly reducing the BOSS's health by over 100,000.

Ok?

The BOSS finally noticed that he was just a small ant and immediately stepped on Lin Yuan.

If someone steps on it, won't it turn into mincemeat?

Lin Yuan quickly dodged.

The special effects of the Star Leg Armor are now activated!

The Grim Reaper's Gloves' dual effects are activated!

Lin Yuan was struck a hundred times in a second.

Bang bang bang bang, he swung the Wuji Staff so hard it was almost smoking, hitting the BOSS with each blow, instantly taking away an astonishing amount of the BOSS's health.

With increased attack speed, the passive effect of the Star Guardian Legplates is also triggered, boosting all attributes tenfold!

With a single strike, even a basic attack could deal nearly 30 damage. In comparison, Blood Shadow Strike, because it cannot receive damage bonuses, has only so much destructive power and is actually less effective than a basic attack.

And then what about using skills?

A little over 500 million!

Is this his damage cap?

of course not.

Lin Yuan activated the shoe's enhancement.

Giant's Wrath increases damage by 100%.

In just a few seconds, the BOSS's health points were reduced by tens of millions.

And what about the BOSS?

Enraged by such a severe blow, it roared and unleashed a barrage of stone projectiles that covered a 200-meter radius around it. Lin Yuan had no choice but to take the hits.

Fortunately, it only dealt a little over 2 damage, which is nothing compared to his 60+ HP.

Unfortunately, there were no minions around the BOSS, preventing the Corpse Explosion effect of the Wuji Staff from working. Otherwise, a single explosion would have dealt 180 million damage, which was terrifying.

"Huh, this kid hasn't come down yet?"

"You've got some skill!"

"But how long can he hold out?"

"The BOSS has 10 billion HP. Even if he activates all his equipment effects and skills, he can only last half a minute at most."

"Let's get ready to go."

Even Ai Qingshan nodded and said, "Prepare to make a move."

"Captain, Captain!" However, a person holding what appeared to be binoculars said in a trembling voice, "Look!"

As he spoke, he handed over the "telescope".

This is an item from the game; it shows the monster's health bar and other numerical values.

This is incredibly useful!

—If you want others to gain experience, you need to know the changes in the BOSS's health accurately. Otherwise, it's dangerous to do it too early, and you might not be able to land the final blow. If it's too late... the BOSS will be dead, so what's the point of gaining experience?

Therefore, this kind of prop is standard equipment.

Ai Qingshan took the binoculars, muttering to himself, "What's so interesting about this?"

Then he put it on.

I grass!

He almost swore, but his mouth was wide open.

What did I see?

-5124438!

A damage number popped up right above the BOSS's head.

How many digits?

Is it several hundred thousand? I must have misread it as more than 500 million.

But hundreds of thousands isn't right either!

Isn't this a freshman this year?

Even with exceptional talent, having reached level 50, clad in silver armor, and having cultivated true essence, a single strike might only deal a maximum of ten thousand points of damage.

More than 500 million?

What the hell is this?!
