This planet is too terrifying!

God-Forsaken Continent.

South Korea region, outside the Fushan Ruins.

In a scorched, withered forest, a six-person player squad from South Korea was fleeing for their lives.

"Aish!! Why is this thing back again?!"

"Run, run fast!"

"Wait for me, wait for me—"

Pfft!

Before the slowest player, a woman, could finish her sentence, a fishing rod suddenly whipped out from behind, and a sharp hook pierced through her chest.

-2.5w (Weak Point Attack)!

A single attack from an Epic BOSS was not something players at this stage could withstand.

In an instant, the South Korean female player in priest robes widened her eyes, desperately reaching out before her Death to grab her boyfriend who was running ahead of her…

But her boyfriend ignored her completely, running even faster.

"…"

The female player widened her eyes, dying in extreme unwillingness.

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to experience Death completely…"

"My non-tradable lifespan has long since been depleted…"

This was her only thought before dying.

She knew that once she died at the hands of this BOSS, it was very likely she wouldn't be able to resurrect!

Because all of her tradable lifespan would merge with her corpse and be crafted into 'bait'!

Players who died under the fishing rod would have their corpses and remaining Lifespan fused together to form a mass similar to a Lifespan orb, but it wasn't a Lifespan orb; this was 'bait'.

Once someone tried to approach and absorb the 'bait'.

A hook would fly out from the bait and attack the approaching player…

This was the Epic BOSS that appeared outside the Fushan Ruins in South Korea—Fisherman Alimuta!

Players killed by this BOSS would have all their tradable lifespan absorbed to be made into bait, and if their remaining non-tradable lifespan was insufficient, it meant Death!

As for why the BOSS's name was 'Fisherman' instead of 'Fisherman'…

Because this BOSS was simply: a fish-headed man!

After the South Korean priestess died, a hunchbacked humanoid monster wearing a straw hat appeared behind her corpse.

The monster held a fishing rod in its hand, walking forward with its head lowered.

When it reached the priestess's corpse, it finally raised its head slightly…

Under its straw hat, there was, shockingly, a fish head!

This was a fish-headed BOSS, so it wasn't a 'Fisherman', but a 'Fisherman'!

It was this guy who had previously 'cooperated' with the ALK Group guild and was sent to Ice City in China.

As a result, because of Qin Feng's Ancient God Language recording, it scrambled back to the outside of the Fushan Ruins in South Korea in terror…

"Hoo… hoooo…"

"South Korea is still more heartwarming for a fish."

"China is too terrifying; there's actually someone who understands the Ancient God Language…"

The Fisherman felt lingering fear.

In the eyes of South Korean players, this was an extremely terrifying Epic BOSS.

In just two or three days, it had already struck terror into all the South Korean players in Fushan City!

Up until now…

The vast majority of players didn't have much non-tradable lifespan left.

Therefore, when encountering a BOSS that could absorb Lifespan, once they died, it was absolute Death.

How could people not be afraid of this?

Of course, not long ago, the ALK Group guild claimed they had a way to deal with this BOSS, gaining the support of many players.

As it turned out, they really did manage to lure this 'Fisherman' BOSS away.

People didn't know where the ALK Group guild had lured this BOSS.

But it certainly hadn't appeared for the better part of a day.

The ALK Group guild even issued a statement saying that players could continue to come to this Rage Zone to level up.

The priestess team that had just been wiped out wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one had been leveling here recently, so they came to grind monsters and pick up some cheap loot.

But unexpectedly…

This Fisherman had returned!

…

The news that the Epic BOSS Fisherman Alimuta had returned to the area around the Fushan Ruins spread quickly.

It caused panic among countless people.

Although the BOSS had movement restrictions and could only move within that withered forest, it could throw 'bait' to very far places and then hook players and pull them over.

This distance could reach up to one hundred kilometers!

Once this BOSS existed, it meant that an area of nearly ten thousand square kilometers around the Fushan Ruins was equivalent to a 'forbidden zone'!

"Very good, another piece of bait."

The Fisherman came before the corpse of the South Korean priestess.

Just as it was about to reach out its palm to craft her corpse and Lifespan into 'bait'.

Suddenly, the expression on its fish-head changed slightly, and it quickly retreated several dozen meters back.

The next instant, beams of moonlight descended from the sky, landing along the path of its retreat!

A noblewoman dressed in moon-white robes, with cold eyes, arrived accompanied by the moonlight—it was none other than the Moon Deficient Queen · Virginie.

Before the Fisherman could react.

Virginie raised her hand, and a barrage of moonlight blades poured down toward the Fisherman!

"Who are you?!"

The Fisherman was shocked.

It looked at the mark above Virginie's head: Moon (Lv57)!

"A Level 57… player? Or an NPC?"

The Fisherman was completely bewildered.

It could clearly feel the killing intent contained within that barrage of moonlight blades, but it was an Epic BOSS after all; how could it just run away like this?

"Too naive!"

The Fisherman Alimuta snorted coldly, swung its fishing rod, and condensed walls of water!

Those water walls were capable of blocking all projectiles.

But what it didn't expect was…

Virginie's moonlight blades had maxed-out piercing attributes and actually passed directly through those water walls!

"!!!"

The Fisherman couldn't react in time and was hit by dozens of consecutive moonlight blades; each moonlight blade dealt hundreds of thousands of damage to it and applied hundreds of points of the Whispers affix.

This shocked it immensely.

"Can't win, run!"

The Fisherman was about to cry; as it turned and fled, it complained in its heart.

'This civilization is too terrifying!'

'China has someone who knows the Ancient God Language!'

'How can there be a Level 57 woman in this South Korea?'

'Better return to China first; although there is someone who knows the Ancient God Language, they might not be as strong as this woman…'

It fled quickly.

Virginie was unhurried, pursuing and attacking from behind.

Beams of moonlight blades landed on the Fisherman from time to time, continuing to drain its HP, while the Whispers meter continued to stack.

This scene was soon discovered by someone from the sky.

A South Korean player riding a gryphon, who was a Hidden Class 'Gryphon Knight'!

He was scouting in the sky.

When he discovered an Epic BOSS being chased and killed by a Level 57 NPC, he was instantly awestruck!

Meanwhile…

When the Fisherman gave up on the priestess's corpse.

The priestess resurrected at the Hideout respawn point three seconds later.

"Huh? I'm still alive?"

This South Korean priestess went by the code name 'Bobo'.

She stood up from the respawn point and was instantly bewildered, because she knew her non-tradable lifespan was gone; although she still had over ten years of tradable lifespan left, dying at the hands of the Fisherman meant all that Lifespan would be sucked away!
