Bab 36: The Monster Riot
Editor: Larbre Studio
Purple Olive was not joking when she said that she wanted to be famous in the game. Before entering the game, she had spent a lot of time conducting various research into the Boundless World. She knew that it was impossible to make it big in the game with only a beautiful face and captivating figure. At the very most, she would only be regarded as a beautiful flower vase. There was no shortage of beauties in the game, and only beauties with both looks and skills could become a hot topic and focal points of discussions.
So, in addition to the knowledge of the game background, she also worked hard on honing her in-game skills. Her Priestess skills were not at all low in level, which was a testament to the amount of hard work she put in.
Ye Chen directed the other three to lure the Wolf King Boss a while ago. The process could be said to be rather mundane, with nothing too surprising. Still, Purple Olive knew that if another person was to command the situation, the four people would have been decimated by now!
"Okay, Dharma and Night, you two can rest. Purple Olive, come over."
The Boss was already running in circles at the base of the stone pillar, but Ye Chen beckoned to Purple Olive at this time.
"What's up?" Purple Olive raised her guard, and cautiously asked. From her impression, men were mostly scums, with few redeeming points. Previously, she had wanted to take the path of a reality star, but all of them had tried to take advantage of her first.
"Nonsense. Obviously, I'm telling you what to do next. Or what, are you afraid that I will devour you?" Ye Chen amusedly glanced at the woman.
A look of embarrassment caused Purple Olive's face to become flushed, and she hastily ran over.
"Wolf King's HP gauge will not hold out for long. Although there still exists the Level Suppression, the Durian Bomb Tree's lethal damage will soon kill it. But we can't let the Wolf King die. Otherwise, the mission will definitely fail." As Purple Olive approached, Ye Chen gestured towards the Wolf King.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Purple Olive asked.
"It's very simple. When the HP of the Wolf King drops below 5%, you can add blood to it. Stop when it reaches above 10%, and continue adding when it drops below 5% again. Keep circulating like this. Anyways, the primary purpose is to not let it die."
"Boss, can the Priest even add blood to the monster?" Dharma had been eavesdropping curiously, and after hearing the question, Purple Olive also perked up her ears, as she didn't know that she could do so.
"Yes, but there are two conditions to fulfill. First, the Priest's team must be the team that dealt the most damage to the monster. Second, the monster's aggro must be on the Priest's team. Only when these two conditions are met can the Priest add blood to the monster. "
Ye Chen carefully explained the method in which the Priest could help the monster to add blood. This was not a secret among the older adventurers. It was just that even when these two conditions were met, no team would be such a fool to help the monster to add blood.
However, a long time ago, there existed such a team that added blood to not only monsters, but their target was even a Boss! That team had tormented the Boss back and forth for two or three hours that day. But then, there occurred a phenomenon that no one could ever imagine!
"What phenomenon occurred?" Purple Olive asked urgently.
The more one understood the Boundless World, the more quickly one would be sucked in by its charm. After listening to Ye Chen's words, she was utterly hooked, and curiosity welled up from the depths of her heart.
"Do you want to know? If you are curious, then try your best to add blood to the Boss." However, a sinister chuckle from Ye Chen was the only reply to her queries.
"YOU…!" Purple Olive gnashed her teeth and glared at Ye Chen. Ever since she entered the game, other than the time she teamed up with the Queen of the Night, all those men were but mere puppets at her beck and call. But now she was being played for a fool by Ye Chen.
But what else could she do? She had to do what Ye Chen said willingly.
"Alright, don't look at me like that, it's really not a big deal. It's just that if you keep adding blood to the Boss and prevent the Boss from dying, its rage will accumulate endlessly. Then the monsters in the area where the Boss is located will undergo some strange changes and turn more brutal and bloodthirsty." Ye Chen also got his fill of teasing Purple Olive and directly revealed the mystery.
"However, in the end, the Boss became extremely perverted. The team I spoke of not only failed to kill the Boss in the end, but was utterly destroyed by the Boss and the rioting monsters. But, who knows? I wonder what top-quality items the Boss that had undergone such a drastic change would drop."
Purple Olive had wanted to slightly forgive this teasing bastard, but she didn't expect Ye Chen to add on the last thing "regretfully" at this time, and this caused her to grind her teeth even harder. This bastard is unforgivable!
It was true that he solved one mystery, but in return, he dished out an even bigger one, which Purple Olive was dying to know the answer to!
"Hurry up and get ready to add blood. The Boss's HP would be running out soon."
Boss's HP plummeted rapidly. When it fell below 10%, Ye Chen "helpfully" reminded Purple Olive.
Purple Olive truly hated herself very much at this moment. She resented herself for being so curious. Else, she could have scornfully told this guy, "Hmph, I just don't want to replenish its HP, what are you going to do?!" But she knew that to unravel this mystery, this was the only opportunity. Such a chance would basically never appear again in the future, and there would be no medicine for regrets then!
The HP of the Boss quickly dropped below 5%. Ye Chen issued the order for the Durian Bomb Tree to rest, and then Purple Olive gloomily waved her staff, adding blood to the Boss.
The HP recovery speed of the Boss by itself was not slow, and with the help of Purple Olive, its HP quickly recovered by more than 10%. At this time, Ye Chen commanded the Durian Bomb Tree to resume its bombardment.
Except for Purple Olive that was working hard to add blood, there was nothing else to do for the remaining three. Ye Chen sat on the grass, his eyes sweeping through the densely-packed woods, and he glanced towards the central area of the Gray Stone Forest.
Purple Olive had many things in common with a woman he had known in the past. He couldn't help but deliberately teased her so that she wouldn't be too overconfident in herself and ended up in such tragic straits as that person. That woman had an ambiguous relationship with the two master adventurers in the game at the same time. But, in the end, neither of the two masters wanted her, and she vanished without a trace. As a bystander, he witnessed everything from beginning to end and could only lament regretfully.
In the central area of the Gray Stone Forest, where the Warring Dragon Guild was located, come to speak of it, one of the two masters was from the Warring Dragon Guild. However, it was unknown whether that person was still with the Guild.
But regardless of whether the man was still in the Warring Dragon Guild, in an hour's time, everyone gathered there will be torn into shreds by the rioting mob of Stone Wolves. Moreover, due to the nature of the mission, the monsters will not actively target the four, and they will remain unscathed from the impending danger!
The Wolf King's HP continuously fell below 5%, but continually rose back to more than 10%. As the process was repeated over and over again, time also quietly ticked by as the neverending loop continued.
The enormous eyes of the Wolf King gradually became increasingly crimson, and the blood vessels on the body bulged explosively, becoming noticeably more substantial than at the beginning. From time to time, the Wolf King's head would rise towards the heavens, and let loose the bloodthirsty, frenzied howls of a crazed predator.
"Boss, the wolves around us have changed a little!"
The bloodthirsty howls seemed to spread farther and farther into the Gray Stone Forest. As the rage contained in the howls grew in intensity, the wolves in the Gray Stone Forest gradually began to become more and more restless.
"Alright! Hold on for a while more, it will become effective soon!" Ye Chen encouraged menacingly.
...
"Boss Luo, the surrounding Stone Wolves are displaying some abnormalities. The situation doesn't look good."
As for the changes in the Stone Wolves in the Gray Stone Forest, the Warring Dragon Guild could not be unaware of it. Several heads of the group had a solemn expression and broached the topic with Luo Cheng.
This abnormal phenomenon was occurring during these extraordinary times and bode ill tidings for them.
"Shrink the defensive parameters! If any Wolves appear, kill them on sight."
The monsters in the Gray Stone Forest suddenly began to grow more powerful. Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel the onset of a headache and gave the order rather helplessly.
But it didn't take long for the faces of the several people there to become more downcasted.
There was more than an hour before the completion of the mission, but the surrounding Stone Wolves monsters seemed to have become more ferocious and bloodthirsty!
"Bad news! The Wolves in the woods are no longer staying in place and are constantly running around irritably. Moreover, the range of their aggro has increased a lot!"
More than three hundred people banded together in a defensive formation. Although the monsters had become more formidable, as long as their number was not large, the danger posed by them was not great. However, at this time, an ominous message appeared, which caused the faces of several people, including Luo Cheng, to change drastically.
"A pack of wolves is swarming the First Regiment in masses!"
"This is also the case for the Third Regiment!"
"Priest, hurry up, and add blood!! Holy shit, why are these Wolves' attacks so perverted!"
"Fuck! Are these still Stone Wolves?"
...
Immediately afterward, the sounds of mass hysteria and chaos spread across the encampment!
