“I shall grant you a decent death!”

Over two thousand kilometers to the northeast of Shanghai.

This stretch of sea was treacherous and turbulent. A lizard-like summoned creature scrambled out of the water, attempting to flee.

But suddenly, a seven-or-eight-meter-long bone arm reached out from the seawater and slammed heavily onto the lizard, instantly crushing it into a pulp!

Immediately after… a humanoid Epic BOSS clad in eerie white metal armor slowly stepped out of the seawater.

It had no flesh or blood on its entire body, consisting entirely of a skeleton. It stood nearly twenty meters tall, and within the hollows of its skeletal eye sockets, pitch-black flames burned.

A bone greatsword over ten meters long was gripped tightly in its left hand.

It slowly raised its right hand from the beach, and the blood from the lizard summoned creature slowly dripped down from its finger bones…

—— [ Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals ] [ Level: 30 ] [ Rank: Epic-grade ] ——

"Very good."

"It has been successfully lured out of the sea area."

"Next, I must lead it to the Magic City Ruins, the Evil Spirit Academy!"

A young summoner, hiding in the shadows with an indifferent expression, raised his hand again to summon a wolf-like, dog-like creature. Its body was rotting, emitting an aura of deadly poison.

After the summoned creature appeared, it hid far away in a pile of rocks on the beach and spat a mouthful of poisonous saliva at the Epic-grade BOSS 'Great Calamity Underworld King' that had walked out of the sea!

[ – 0! ] [ Poison Immunity! ]

The young summoner's summoned creature couldn't break through the defense at all, but it could successfully draw 'aggro'.

The Great Calamity Underworld King looked gloomily in the direction of the summoned creature, slowly lifted its foot, and began walking toward it…

This scene looked like the 'kiting BOSS' scenario that all game players are familiar with.

But in reality… It was just that the 'Great Calamity Underworld King' was willing to cooperate!

"I am sealed here, and my level is suppressed to 30…"

"Although I have been granted an Epic-grade BOSS template, causing my attributes to skyrocket in all aspects, my range of movement is also restricted!"

"Without any accidents, I cannot leave this nightmare 'Great Calamity Sea Area'."

"But…" "I didn't expect this 'accident' to come so soon, hehehe!"

BOSSes in the God Forsaken Game basically all have their own territories, and within their territories, they receive additional combat power buffs.

However, if they obediently wait for players to come to them, by the time they actually meet the players, the players' strength would have already grown to a certain level!

If they could find a way to leave their own territory and go outside, could they find weak players in advance to slaughter, thereby plundering the players' Lifespan?

The only way for an Epic-grade BOSS to leave its own territory is to use skills with 'displacement' to pursue a target with aggro, which allows it to break through the blockade restrictions.

In other words, it is equivalent to being slowly pulled out by someone in the manner of 'kiting monsters'.

Every time it arrives in a brand-new area, the Epic-grade BOSS will be able to move freely within that small range.

Thus… Now, this 'Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals' is effectively using that young summoner, planning to head toward a wider world!

Moreover, that young summoner still thought that this BOSS hadn't discovered him.

In fact, the Great Calamity Underworld King had long realized that this summoner player was up to something.

"It seems this human player has some misanthropic tendencies."

"Since that's the case, I'll help him, hehehe!"

"If he sends me all the way to the city ruins where players gather, wouldn't that be delightful?"

"Players at this stage, who are only at level ten-plus, are all snacks in front of me!"

"Of course." "To thank this human player, I will grant you a more decent death, hehehe!"

… A distance of over two thousand kilometers. The young summoner had to wait for skill cooldowns every time he summoned, slowly pulling the BOSS back. He found that the whole process was exceptionally smooth.

But every time he pulled the BOSS out of its range, the BOSS's additional movement range was only about three hundred meters. So he had to keep pulling it continuously.

"At this speed." "It will take at least… two more days to pull this BOSS to the Magic City Ruins!"

The young summoner was not in a hurry either. Because the Sky Serpent Organization had already earned him twelve hundred years of Lifespan through their channels, which was enough to compensate for his loss of time.

He just hid slowly in what he thought was the 'shadows', constantly summoning subordinates, letting them lead the Epic-grade BOSS further and further away… unaware that in the eyes of that BOSS, he was just like a clown!

… Meanwhile, Qin Feng was leveling up rapidly in the 'Crawler Abyss'. Every time he attacked, blade light bloomed, creating a pile of high-level Crawler corpses!

During this leveling process, his experience soared, and Evolution Points were also occasionally gained. Besides the small monsters occasionally giving 1 point, small BOSSes of Bronze-grade, Silver-grade, and even Gold-grade appeared in this place from time to time.

Of course, for Qin Feng… these level 30 small BOSSes were also things that could be solved with a single strike.

The difference was that they could provide more experience, Evolution Points, and Nightmare Resistance!

At this very moment, Qin Feng's 'Nightmare Resistance', through the effect of 'Endless Nightmare' constantly stacking by killing monsters, had already reached over 420 points.

This meant that his resistance to the Nightmare affix had reached four or five times that of an ordinary player. If other players would fall into a nightmare in ten seconds, Qin Feng could persist for forty to fifty seconds, nearly a minute!

If it were dealing with an Epic-grade BOSS that specialized in the 'Nightmare affix', the current Qin Feng could already slaughter it at will. Of course, the premise is that his Killing Star Blade had the 33.6 Stripping affix. This was his capital for forcefully killing the BOSS!

"The drop rate for small monsters in this place is quite high." After Qin Feng had been grinding for over two hours and the double experience buff ended, he took a look at his Greedy Space. The harvest this time was not small.

Although he hadn't encountered any BOSS above Gold-grade, he had obtained quite a few useful skill books. For example, the level 28 'Ghostly Blur' skill book and the level 30 'Instant Shadow Slash' skill book. As long as his level was reached, once he learned these skill books, the values of these two skills would increase by another notch.

Immediately after, Qin Feng continued to grind monsters in this place. The experience points required for the fourth class advancement were becoming less and less.

Meanwhile, news came from Zhang Jinxuan that the auction for the three Platinum-level Hideouts had been successfully completed. The prices were all between 4500-5000 years. After all, at this time, players' ability to farm Lifespan had become stronger, so prices would definitely rise a bit.

As for those who won the Hideouts, they were all Government guilds.

The 'Green Moss Cave' key was won by 'Great Xia Bank' with 4650 years of Lifespan. The 'Suffering Prison' key was won by the 'Great Xia Navy' with 4780 years of Lifespan. Finally, the 'Fluorescent Underground River' key, which was the most fiercely contested Hideout key, was won by 'Shanghai Jiao Tong University' with 5965 years of Lifespan.

Those participating in the auction were not just Government guilds. There were also many large guilds in Shanghai. But obviously, the financial power of the Shanghai Government was still top-tier!

"When they find out later that they can build their own Hideouts, and the cost of a Platinum-grade defensive barrier only requires about two thousand years, they should regret it, right?" After Qin Feng learned the news, he felt a bit embarrassed. These Government guilds were really too polite!

Additionally… the players who were developing relatively fast had finally reached level 16-17. Although they were still nearly 10 levels lower than Qin Feng, the Platinum and Emerald equipment that Qin Feng had previously stored could finally be taken out and sold.

Three more hours later. Qin Feng finished grinding the monsters in the 'Crawler Abyss', and too lazy to wait for them to respawn, he directly rode Osirio and went home for a big harvest!
