Chapter 22
022 Kill!
Runic World. At the rocky area in Treant Forest.
After sending wave after wave of Runic Treants to attack Wu Wei and the others for about two hours, the Runic Treant King finally made its move.
However, it wasn’t because it had finally felt that the time was ripe. Although it had initially planned to use ordinary Runic Treants to deplete Yellow’s strength, Yellow was still alive and kicking even after two hours. Instead, it was its Treants that had suffered heavy losses.
As it realized its strategy wasn’t working, it could only change its strategy, and it decided to act early!
At this moment, it relied on its [Disguise] skill to blend in with the ordinary Runic Treants and quietly approach Yellow.
It knew that the [High]-rank Yellow among Wu Wei’s group was the strongest. As long as it took down Yellow – no, all it needed to do was distract him for a while.
At that moment, it would let the remaining Elite Runic Treants attack Wu Wei’s group and get rid of these pests. Then, it could come back for Yellow, claiming victory in one fell swoop!
This was the Runic Treant King’s second strategy.
While it seemed like an excellent strategy to the Treant King at the moment of planning, execution-wise…
As the Runic Treant King approached Yellow slowly to position itself, it found an opportunity to strike!
Suddenly came a deafening roar.
“F**ker, die!”
The Runic Treant King was shocked by the voice. Before it could react, a descending bolt of lightning struck the unprepared Runic Treant King.
At the same time, Archer Boy, who had been using ordinary arrows, grabbed the few remaining arrows he had left to finally unleash his Enchanted Arrows.
Three consecutive blazing arrows were let loose on the Runic Treant King.
The sudden attack caused the Runic Treant King to be at a loss for what to do. It did not understand how it had been exposed.
However, the Runic Treant King was still a Runic Treant King. As a boss, it had its own tricks.
Although it was caught off guard and even took a lightning strike, it was not killed on the spot like an ordinary Runic Treant would be. It had only been a small amount of damage, and it could even react to block two of the three arrows shot by the Archer.
As it could not block the third arrow in time, the Runic Treant King activated its ultimate skill without hesitation. Numerous roots extended out of the ground from a five-meter radius around it, and it managed to grab the third arrow out of its flight.
However, as it successfully defended against the arrow, it heard another roar.
“F**cker, die!”
It was the same cry as Zhou Tian previously. The difference was that this cry was not backed by the domineering aura that Zhou Tian’s was backed by. Instead, it even sounded a little silly, and the tone of the voice sounded weird as if a forced mimicry of the earlier cry.
But the voice’s owner was not only close but even rapidly closing in onto the Runic Treant King!
It was none other than Yellow!
He was charging towards the Runic Treant King!
The Runic Treant King was terrified. It quickly sent all its tree roots within a five-meter radius to surround Yellow, attempting to restrain him and prevent him from approaching!
However, although the tree roots could wrap around Yellow’s body, they could not hold him back.
That was because the moment the tree roots wrapped around Yellow, a glowing yellow rune suddenly appeared on Yellow’s forehead.
Next, Yellow’s entire body also started to glow yellow!
The moment this light appeared, the numbers [1/3000] appeared in front of Wu Wei.
Yellow’s strength attribute instantaneously increased from 1 to 2.5, and even Wu Wei was surprised to see Yellow easily break free from the tree roots wrapping around him.
Yellow continued to slash his way closer and arrived directly in front of the Runic Treant King.
Next, he raised his sword before slashing down. The long-awaited [Boar Slaughtering Slash] was finally unleashed, cleaving the Runic Treant King into two!
It would have died immediately after being cut in half if it were an ordinary Runic Monster. However, the Runic Treant King was a plant-type Runic Monster, so its vitality level was terrifying. Even after being cut in half, it was still not dead yet.
Fortunately, Zhou Tian had still been there, and with another lightning strike, he struck it down, charring one-half of the Runic Treant King’s body black.
Yellow then unleashed another powerful strike to end the Runic Treant King’s life, and it exploded.
Several drops flew out with its demise!
At the same time, the number [1/20] appeared in front of Wu Wei’s eyes.
However, Wu Wei did not have the time to think about this number.
After all, the crisis had not been fully resolved yet. Although the Runic Treant King had died, the Elite Runic Treants were still there.
“Yellow, continue!”
Under Wu Wei’s orders, Yellow, who was in the [Yellow Turban Strength] state, charged right into the remaining elite monsters.
In his path of carnage, he slashed and slashed as if he were slicing melons or chopping vegetables.
He killed another 5 Elite Runic Treants in less than three minutes.
And since three minutes had passed, the yellow light surrounding Yellow’s body gradually faded, and his physical strength finally started to drain.
Fortunately, at this point, the battle was already coming to its close.
Having killed the Runic Treant King, Yellow seemed as imposing as a demon god.
The remaining Elite Runic Treants began to become afraid and started making their escape. With the elites gone, the ordinary Runic Treants stood no chance. They were quickly dealt with by Wu Wei and the others.
A few minutes later, Wu Wei and Team 8566 finally finished clearing the battlefield and sat atop a pile of rocks. Looking at the drops spread all over the battlefield, Wu Wei let out a sigh of relief.
All of the members of Team 8566 were filled with excitement and satisfaction.
“Awesome! That’s what a real man does!”
“That’s right, isn’t this just how battles should be?”
“Yeah! Let’s do it again!”
..
Wu Wei’s face darkened as he listened to their conversation.
This group of b*stards clearly only remember what’s fun for them. Earlier on, their situation had been full of despair, and they were almost on the verge of crying!
This bunch of fools was the type that was prone to repeating the same mistakes!
Wu Wei made a mental note to not get too close to them. If he were to spend time with such crazy people, he would also turn crazy.
Nonetheless, while Wu Wei did not particularly appreciate the foolish behavior of this team, he had to admit that he did fit in well.
In their bout of excitement, the team gathered around Wu Wei.
“Brother Wu, you’re a perfect match for us. Let us tag along with you in the future!”
“Yeah! If we form a team, we’ll become invincible!”
“If you join, I’ll even let you be Captain!”
“Brother Wu, I like your style!”
..
Like my foot!
You may like me, but I don’t like you!
Wu Wei responded to the four hopeful faces: “About joining the team, let’s leave that for later. Let’s tidy up what we’ve earned first.”
“Also, Zhou Tian, immediately contact the school and tell them about the logout problem!
Ask the school to send someone to investigate. This incident might be related to the disappearance of Team 8911!”
When Wu Wei said this, the eyes of all the members of team 8566 lit up.
“Brother Wu, wait a moment… I think there might be a hidden secret in this forest. It could even be a secret dungeon! Do you want to check it out?”
Wu Wei expressed his firm refusal!
“Nah, better not. I’m tired. After distributing the spoils of war, I’ll return to rest!”
What kind of joke was he making? They had just escaped death, but it seemed like they hadn’t had enough.
