A warning from Shadow! The muddled players!

"How despicable."

"Using players' greed, creating the illusion that it can be defeated by a siege, and luring them to gather and die…"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.

An Epic BOSS, of course he wouldn't miss it.

However, in his previous life, he had not participated in the siege of this BOSS, and there was little information about it.

Before making a move, he had to first figure out the opponent's methods.

"I could ask Big Eyes."

"But with just the BOSS's name, Big Eyes probably won't be able to get much information…"

Qin Feng thought for a moment.

Knowledge Eye's knowledge reserves are limited to certain races and information about the nature of God Forsaken Game's rules.

When it comes to a specific BOSS, it's difficult for it to know its exact skills.

"Fortunately, I have the light and shadow crystal."

Qin Feng already had ten light and shadow crystals in reserve, ready to be used at any time to record all surrounding scenes and sounds, just like filming a video, or even more advanced.

The manufacturing cost of a light and shadow crystal was 30 days of lifespan.

It was quite expensive for other players, but for Qin Feng, it was just a drop in the bucket.

"Just by the BOSS's name, 'Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals', I can't know its appearance or specific race."

"But as long as I investigate, bring back the images, and show them to Knowledge Eye, it's very likely I can inquire about its race's information."

At least he could learn its key skills.

Facing an Epic BOSS, even Qin Feng would not act rashly.

Because he knew very well that every Epic BOSS had its own specific special methods!

"And I also need to see who exactly lured this BOSS here?"

Qin Feng knew that this kind of thing hadn't happened in his previous life.

Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals was only defeated by a team of experts from Magic City Ruins two full years after the God Forsaken Game descended…

Therefore, Qin Feng temporarily put aside the upgrade of the defensive barrier.

He sent a private message to Zhang Jinxuan, replying: "Tell your people not to act rashly. Epic BOSSes are very intelligent and have many tricks; don't fall for it."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Jinxuan immediately understood.

"Does that mean the epic-grade BOSS is setting a trap for players?"

Zhang Jinxuan's expression was solemn: "Okay, I'll issue an announcement, telling everyone in the guild not to participate."

…

Qin Feng mounted Osirio and flew towards the epic-grade BOSS's coordinate point!

A total distance of less than two hundred kilometers was not far for Qin Feng at all.

Even for other players, with a mount, this distance would take less than half an hour to cover.

Along the way, Qin Feng saw groups of players on the scorched earth plain below, surging towards that coordinate point, scrambling to get there, afraid they would be too late to snatch the BOSS!

In God Forsaken Game, BOSS ownership is typically based on teams, not guilds.

Therefore, even within the same guild, different teams are strong competitors. Whichever team has the highest damage percentage will have the final ownership of the BOSS!

Qin Feng could see teams of sixty players, excitedly and nervously rushing forward.

The players rode various mounts, all moving extremely fast!

Among these people, Qin Feng could even see many official teams!

Qin Feng thought for a moment, then sent a message to Wan Ye Wei Yu, as a reminder to the official side…

Soon.

Qin Feng saw the official player teams along the way stopping one after another.

Their expressions were solemn, and they quickly ordered their members to evacuate.

"The official side's discipline is quite good."

Qin Feng exclaimed with emotion.

You know, he had only sent a message to Wan Ye Wei Yu.

That message would take time to reach various official guilds and then every official team.

The most crucial thing was…

They completely trusted the information Qin Feng provided!

Although it was the temptation of an epic-grade BOSS, reason overcame their greed.

Then, the official side began to issue announcements!

Reminding all players and guilds in Magic City Ruins not to approach that epic-grade BOSS, as it was completely luring players to gather!

Such news takes time to spread.

And even if it spreads, other players don't have the same discipline as the official side…

Some players believed the news and stopped advancing.

But more than half of the player teams still wanted to snatch the epic-grade BOSS and continued forward!

…

Qin Feng couldn't be bothered with the players' thoughts.

But what he was worried about was what methods that epic-grade BOSS might have to use these players for?

Or rather, could these players potentially enhance the BOSS's combat power?

Qin Feng had seen similar BOSSes in his previous life.

So, it was best to keep the players far away; that would make conquering the epic-grade BOSS much easier.

For this, Qin Feng even made Osirio appear!

The king of Bone Sword Wyverns soared across the sky outside Magic City Ruins at an extremely fast speed!

"I've already appeared, so they should know they can't snatch it from me, right?"

Qin Feng hoped that these players would retreat in the face of difficulty.

But what he didn't expect was…

His appearance simply couldn't stop those frantic players!

"Look, it's Shadow! Shadow is rushing over there too!"

"I'm dying of laughter, the official side just announced that the BOSS is dangerous and luring us, but Shadow is still going there?"

"Is there a possibility that Shadow has a way to deal with it, but we don't?"

"Nonsense, that BOSS is an idiot, it only releases single-target skills, and it has an extremely high Instant Death Affix. Even Shadow would die if hit by one of its swords!"

"That's right, even with Shadow, we might not necessarily fail to snatch it… as long as the BOSS kills Shadow, we still have hope!"

If Qin Feng knew what these players were thinking, he would probably be utterly speechless.

Do these people not use their brains?

A few minutes later.

Qin Feng, following the players who had converged into a river, soon arrived in a scorched earth forest.

Ahead, a group of players were releasing various skills, besieging a giant skeleton nearly twenty meters tall. The skeleton wielded a white bone greatsword over ten meters long, occasionally leaping and slashing towards players in one direction, flying over three hundred meters to cut them down!

The surrounding players, however, were tirelessly launching various attacks at the BOSS, their faces filled with fanaticism and tension.

Just then…

Qin Feng, riding Osirio, appeared from the horizon!

He didn't approach, but instead took out a light and shadow crystal, recording the appearance and movements of the BOSS ahead.

Then, he had Osirio turn and leave.

First, he would go back and let Knowledge Eye analyze it!

This scene made the originally fanatical players below suddenly become suspicious and uncertain!

"Huh, isn't that Shadow's dragon mount? Why did he come and then leave?"

"Could it be that even Shadow thinks he can't win?"

"No… Shadow left, so I should leave too. This BOSS might really have a problem!"

"Damn it, it's already at two percent health, put in more effort!"

"This BOSS currently belongs to our team, everyone, work harder!"

"Ignore Shadow, he must be trying to trick us into leaving so he can steal this BOSS!"

"That's right, that's just Shadow's mount. As for him, he's probably already nearby, preparing to snatch the BOSS…"

For a time, many players, whether they were besieging the BOSS or rushing to its location, all realized that this BOSS probably really had a problem.

Many players turned and ran.

Even Shadow came and didn't directly engage, so wouldn't they be seeking death by joining the fun?

But there were still some players who had lost their minds!

Not only did they not run, but they continued to approach the BOSS, attempting to gain ownership!

…

Among the crowd.

The Sky Vault Guild youth, codenamed 'Fu Xi', had just received a reminder message from Vice Guild Leader Zhang Jinxuan, telling all Sky Vault Guild members to retreat.

Originally, 'Fu Xi' was a bit skeptical of the message, thinking, how could this Epic BOSS be given away so easily, why retreat?

So, he led his team members and continued to charge forward!

But now…

He saw that even Qin Feng's mount was flying back!

"Retreat, retreat."

Fu Xi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly ordered his team members to fall back.

Unfortunately…

They had charged too close!

When the epic-grade BOSS, 'Great Calamity Underworld King', noticed that many players were starting to retreat, it realized that the situation had changed.

Originally, it had wanted to gather more players, but now…

If it didn't act soon, everyone would run away!

"Kill them first."

The greatsword in its hand instantly emitted a death-black light, sweeping out over a range of several kilometers in all directions!
