Chapter 4: Angrily Defying the Mythic Boss

"Eh... what?" Otogu had a tone of complete incomprehension.

Xiao Feng explained, saying, "I mean, I have a friend who is more suited to inherit the War God's legacy. Give me that inheritance, and I'll pass it on to him!"

"Friend" is just an excuse.

This thing, if sold, would definitely fetch a sky-high price!

"No, no, the master's inheritance is priceless; if you accept it yourself, I will surely give it to you. But for others, please forgive me, I cannot agree!" The Golden Lion shook its head repeatedly, indicating impossibility.

"Oh?"

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand to fire a magic missile.

"Roar~ What are you doing!" After taking a high-damage skill, Otogu instantly got a bit angry, stood up and let out a roar.

Xiao Feng already knew this guy's fear-of-death nature, full of confidence, he laughed: "You know how strong I am, I won't waste words. Hand over the War God's inheritance item, or I don't mind extracting it from you myself."

"Damn it! Do you really think I'm afraid of you!" Otogu shouted angrily, golden light flaring up on his body, appearing ready to strike.

But after all, he didn't strike.

Xiao Feng laughed: "You can insta-kill me, but I'll be right back. From the respawn point to here, if you run fast it's just a few minutes; how much HP can you recover in a few minutes?"

He was very confident.

Because according to game rules, world bosses differ from dungeon bosses; after leaving combat they don't instantly refill to full HP, but require a slow process.

Given this Golden Lion's HP, it probably recovers about 1% per minute at most.

Such recovery cannot fully offset his damage; as long as you have the patience to slowly chip away with lives, it is basically doomed to die.

"You... you despicable adventurer!" Otogu was furious.

It roared: "The master is the War God; his inheritance is immensely heavy and cannot be lightly handed over! Even if you kill me, I will not yield!"

biu~

In response, Xiao Feng launched a missile.

"Wah yah yah yah! It hurts to death, I want to retaliate!" Otogu, after being hit by four magic missiles, was already badly injured.

It let out an angry roar, leapt up and charged at Xiao Feng.

Boom!

-61891

A five-digit damage number appeared; Xiao Feng, with less than 300 HP, still owed it two hundred lives.

"Prompt: You have died, deducting 20% of your current level's experience."

The system gave a prompt.

"Hey, you really fought?"

The next second, Xiao Feng revived in Novice Village and immediately rushed out of the village.

Dying once deducts 20% experience, but while running there he could also insta-kill some small monsters to make up for it, so he wasn't worried about losing levels and stats.

Outside Novice Village, many people were leveling; currently most players are around level 3-4, level 5 counts as elite, and there are hardly any above level 6.

Xiao Feng sprinted all the way, crossing several small maps, arriving at the cave.

Glancing at the travel time, it took a total of 5 minutes and 21 seconds.

In the cave, the Golden Lion Otogu's burly body lay on the ground, the HP bar above his head slowly recovering.

"You're back again, I won't yield!" Seeing Xiao Feng, it shouted angrily and spat out a ball of golden light.

Xiao Feng also simultaneously threw a magic missile, meanwhile glancing at its attributes.

【Golden Lion—Otogu (Mythic-tier Leader)】

HP: 2316090/3000000

When previously insta-killed, the HP was 2.15 million; now it's 2.3 million.

That means its auto-HP recovery rate is about 1% per minute, averaging roughly 500 points per second.

"Can kill!"

Xiao Feng felt delighted in his heart.

The next second, Otogu's head showed a 210,000 damage number, his own head showed an over-80,000 damage number, and he returned to the village to revive.

He ran out of Novice Village again and rushed back to the cave.

The third time checking the boss's HP, it had become 2.24 million, about 60,000 less than before.

"I want to be the first person to burst a mythic boss!" Xiao Feng eagerly threw a magic missile, but was simultaneously insta-killed by Otogu's roar skill.

The fourth time he revived in Novice Village, he hurriedly dashed out, preparing to return to the cave.

At that moment, some casual-leaning players in the village had already noticed him.

"What's up with that guy, dying and respawning four times within 20 minutes—did he encounter a boss?"

"He's level 7, should be among the strongest, why does he keep dying?"

Someone expressed confusion.

But they didn't say much more.

Xiao Feng paid no attention to those, ran back for five minutes, threw a magic missile, and was instantly killed himself.

The Golden Lion Otogu's HP was being chipped away bit by bit at an extremely slow pace.

Xiao Feng's level remained unchanged; during the travel time, the experience gained from killing monsters exactly offset the experience lost from dying.

Meanwhile, other players steadily improved during that period, with some gradually catching up to him and even surpassing him.

After another 20 minutes, the Golden Lion's HP was pressed down to 1.9 million by him.

Upon his ninth revival in Novice Village, Xiao Feng had already attracted the close attention of casual players.

This guy definitely encountered a super tough boss, otherwise he wouldn't keep dying like that!

Tell the vice chairman the news and have someone follow him. If the boss is easy to beat, we can snatch it from him!

We've been fighting for over half an hour and still haven't finished; this boss is absolutely fierce!

Those people communicated in low voices, passing the news along.

Xiao Feng's mind was full of the loot feast from a god-level boss, and he didn't notice those.

Five minutes later, he logged back into the novice village.

"That's the guy, follow him!" The few people summoned by the casual player secretly followed Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng rushed out of the village, preparing to return to the vicinity of the cave.

At that moment, a voice came from nearby.

"Selling equipment, selling equipment! Mage gear usable at level 5, come take a look~"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Feng couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

"Exactly, I can buy equipment to raise my base stats!"

His talent can amplify damage ten thousand times; just increasing attack by 1 adds 10,000 damage—how terrifying!

"I'm really an idiot......"

Xiao Feng quickly ran toward the player shouting sales.

"Miss, take a look at the equipment!" he said at breakneck speed.

"Oh oh, okay, look, there are three pieces." This player is called Xing Yun Miao, a girl in her early twenties, quite pretty.

She displayed three pieces of equipment.

【Oak Staff】: Level 7, ordinary quality, magic attack +12

【Grass Essence Ring】: Level 5, ordinary quality, magic attack +2

【Straw Shoes】: Level 3, ordinary quality, physique +1

"How much for them?" Seeing the two pieces of equipment that boost magic attack, Xiao Feng was overjoyed.

Xing Yun Miao opened her hand, extending five slender scallion-white fingers, and said: "Five... five silver coins!"

"Damn, that's brutal! Fifty copper coins would be about right!" Someone nearby, just as interested in equipment as Xiao Feng, immediately complained upon hearing the price.

At this stage, everyone basically has fewer than a hundred copper coins on them, unless they are the president of a major guild who has many companions in the novice village, enabling them to gather a large amount of copper coins.

Xing Yun Miao also knew her price was too high, her face showing a bit of embarrassment, she weakly said: "I took on a quest that needs a lot of silver coins......"

"Any more equipment that boosts magic attack?" Xiao Feng asked her.

"Yes, yes, and there's this!" She took off a necklace from herself.

【Village Chief's Blessing】: Level 3, exquisite quality, intelligence +2, physique +2

"I'll take all four of these; I'll give you five silver coins."
