[ BOSS ] Merman King, level 15.

This is just the second day of the apocalypse. No one can beat this boss unless beta players choose to keep their combat level as a reward. Although in the end game, this boss could only be counted as a small boss, but right now the boss’ level is too high for them.

He is only level 2, with only one basic skill and one orange level skill. The best decision is to run away. But looking at the people lying on the ground, he couldn't just run and let them die. Just as he was still thinking about what to do, a calm voice came from behind him.

"Do you want to form a team to kill the boss?"

Feng Yue was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw a man in an ancient robe. He stood there looking thoughtfully at the boss. Feng Yue sent him a party invitation, which was accepted instantly.

Seeing the level displayed on the party information, Feng Yue almost dropped his jaw in shock. This person is a level 12 player!

Those people saw other players coming to kill the boss. Since they can't kill it, they decide to run away. So those who could still move fled the lake area without looking back.

The Merman King shouted loudly when it saw the prey fleeing in all directions.

“MAN!!!!”

The next moment, several people were rooted in place by the soundwave attack of the Merman King. After the soundwave attack, the Merman King disappeared from its spot and appeared behind those people. It slaps those people with its tail and sends them flying. 

“MAN! MAN! MAN!”

Slap!! Slap!! Slap!! 

Boom! Boom!

They flew more than twenty meters, and when their bodies hit the ground, cracks appeared under their bodies, while their HP dropped by more than 50%. 

Looking at those people, that man didn’t say a word. He turned away from them and looked at the Boss coldly. He drew his long sword from the scabbard, pointed to the sky and said, “Yin Yang Formation, Blade Pentagram.”

The next moment, five crystal blades descended from the sky, stabbed the ground, and surrounded the merman king. A five-point star array appeared on the ground. At the same time, a huge Yin-Yang Array appeared on the ground, emitting blue light.

The moment the Yin-Yang Array emitted blue light, the Mermaid King made another shout of ‘Man!’, when its HP dropped by 1% every second. After the formation was completed, he rushed to the merman king and said, "Phantom Blade."

Looking at him rushing towards the boss alone, Feng Yue was startled. He quickly raised his staff, and cast his skill, “Conjure Incarnate!”

His mana suddenly dropped by 90 points, ripples appeared in the lake water, and the figure of a young girl appeared the next second. Its body is made of water. He can feel the connection between him and the incarnation he summons.

The skills of the water element incarnation are mainly healing and auxiliary skills. He ordered it to heal and buff that man. He took out Five-grains vegetable soup from his inventory and drank it quickly.

In the formation, that man was summoning more and more Phantom Blades. His MP drops rapidly. When he saw the Merman King summoned several water balls to attack him, a trace of icy killing intent flashed in his deep eyes. The boss' attack was fast, and he couldn't dodge one of the water balls.

Boom!!

“Ugh!” He was hit directly in the chest and hit the ground hard, blood running down the corner of his lips.

After being hit by the boss, his HP dropped by 100 points. As soon as he looked up, several water balloons flew towards him at a very fast speed. He rolled aside, narrowly dodging the attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Looking up, the boss still has 70% HP while his stamina was only 50 points left. He needs to finish the boss before his stamina runs out, otherwise he won't be able to move. Wave after wave of water balls aimed at him.

When his stamina dropped below 20 points, he suffers a debuff that reduces his movement speed by 10%. With this debuff, he couldn’t dodge the water balls and it hit him directly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Cough! Cough!” His body slammed to the ground as he coughed blood.

His Hp dropped by another 400 points from that attack. Looking at his HP left with 100 points, his mind was spinning at a fast speed but he couldn’t find a way to kill this boss.

Just when he thought he would die here, blue light enveloped his whole body, and a burst of energy kept restoring his health by 50 points every second. The next second, he heard Feng Yue’s voice shouting, "Drink this five-grains vegetable soup!"

The next moment, a bowl of soup flew towards him. He grabbed it and finished it in one go. His stamina instantly recovered by 75%. The debuff disappeared, and he dodged the incoming water balls attack.

Boom!!

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, he held the sword tightly and charged towards the Merman King. This time, with the help of Feng Yue's incarnation’s buffs, he depleted the boss's HP faster. When the boss's HP was lower than 20%, he moved his sword, and blue light was emitted from his sword. When he finished his action, a formation appeared in the air.

He waved his sword with slashing motion as he shouted, “Break!”

In an instant, the Yin-Yang Array shined brightly, and there was a loud ice-breaking sound reverberating in the area, followed by the howl of the Merman King.

Prank!! 

“Man~~!!”

The Yin-Yang Array disappeared together with the Merman King. There were piles of loot on the ground while several cards floating above the loot. He picked up the loot and kept it in his backpack before he sat on the ground.

Feng Yue ran towards him and quickly checked his condition. Seeing that his incarnation kept healing him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He took another recovery food, handed it to him, and said with a thumbs up, "Brother, what an epic fighting style! What's your name? My name is Feng Yue, let's be friends."

The man raised his head and said expressionlessly, "Feng ‘idiot’ Yue, you don't even recognize your roommate?"

Feng Yue was taken aback by his words. He observed him for a while, and asked, "You are Xiao Feng?"

"Who else? I recognized you right away, but you didn't know me even when I kept appearing in front of you. It's no use sharing a dormitory room with you for three years in high school." Xiao Feng said disdainfully.

"No, you used to be a nerd, why did you become like this now?" Feng Yue asked in disbelief.

"It can be said that I have grown up well." Xiao Feng stood up and patted his clothes.

Xiao Feng put away the food given by Feng Yue. He was really too reckless just now. If Feng Yue's reaction was delayed by a few seconds, he might have died long ago. The thought of this possibility sent a chill down his spine.

Although he looks calm, in fact he is not calm at all. He was also a little scared and uncertain about the sudden situation. He just forced himself to remain calm.

After seeing his old friend, Feng Yue is in a good mood. So they continued to explore the area while learning about each other's current situation. They were back at camp by ten o'clock at night.

When night fell, the same situation happened as yesterday. Many people were sent out of the camp by the system, leaving only a handful of people who paid the temporary residence fee. After today's battle, Feng Yue noticed the urgency to find more skills.

    After dinner, they shared the loots of the day and went back to their tents to rest. While Xiao Feng was resting, Feng Yue was checking the inventory and warehouse. He also went to the mission hall, refreshing missions and posting new missions at the same time.He needs to collect more supplies, as now more and more people are hunting higher-level monsters, the variety of their supplies have also increased. In addition to gel, cotton, and thread, He added boar meat, logs, leather, and coal.When he was done, he checked the list of NPCs. Two NPCs came to his camp today. When his mission hall is still level 1, there can only be a maximum of two NPCs visiting his camp at the same time.They will stay for 24 hours and leave when they are rejected or timed out. There is a 4-hours cooldown before a new NPC visits again. Feng Yue checked the status of the npc.[ Name : Jack | Level : 1 | Skills : None | Rank : D ][ Name : Sally | Level : 5 | Skills : Cooking - intermediate | Rank : B ]Feng

    Today is the third day and he wants to check the crops. The time has come for the crops to be ripe and he needs to harvest them before they rot.As he walked inside the farmland, he saw a spread of golden wheat patches in front of him. The wheats are tall with plump ears. It was ready to be harvested. Feng Yue walked closer and saw the clock above the crops had already hit zero. He squatted beside the patches and started to harvest the wheat. Since it was blue grade seeds, Feng Yue hoped that he could get at least one bag of yellow grade wheat seed. He spent 45 minutes finishing harvesting all of the crops, and managed to get 5 bags of blue grade wheat seeds and 1 bag of yellow grade wheat seeds. One bag of blue grade wheat seed gave him 438 kilos of wheat. White grade seed can be harvested for 50 kilograms, and with every grade higher, it gives an additional 150 kilograms. While blue grade seeds can be harvested for 350 kilograms, with his advanced life skill level, he has a passi

    Feng Yue got closer, and finally saw clearly what happened. In the center of the circle, a man wearing low-level equipment with one arm is oozing pus and dripping black blood was groaning despite lost unconsciousness. His arm was destroyed because every now and then his blood would form a bubble and pop open, tearing apart his flesh and muscle. Even as a man, Feng Yue felt disgusted when he saw the man's arm. Not to mention the girls who were already throwing up in the corner or turning pale. He frowned trying to control his churning stomach. He looked at the man's arm, and suddenly remembered the elixir he had just refined. One of the elixirs is used to detoxify poison. It is a low-level elixir, so Feng Yue is not sure if it will work or not. But trying is better than doing nothing. "Please make way, please make way." Feng Yue said as he walked with difficulty in the midst of the crowd. After a while, he finally walked out of the 'human barrier' and saw a group of people. As he ap

    Walking into the mission hall, Feng Yue saw many people posting missions and recruiting teams. He checked the list and saw that others had started buying materials just like him. He has accumulated a lot of those low-level materials, so Feng Yue just reset the mission, and did not increase the price. Afterwards, he checked the NPCs who came to his camp today.[ Name : Brittney | Level : 3 | Skills : Heal | Rank : B ][ Name : Josh | Level : 12 | Skills : Stunning arrow, Aim | Rank : B ]Feng Yue looked at the NPC's information and was overjoyed. Both NPCs have great skills. Not to mention the archer, it also has a passive skill ‘Aim’, which can always hit the target even if he casually shoots his arrow. He will excel at killing enemies with high movement speed and agility.He hired both NPC and changed their names to Healer 001 and Archer 002.“Greetings, My Lord.” the NPC said in unison as they kneel on the ground. "Put on the equipment. Archer 002, you will go patrol a

    Feng Yue checked Xiao Feng's status through the party information, and found that the burn debuff was still there. So, he took out a bottle of burn elixir from his inventory and handed it to him while saying, "Drink this." Xiao Feng took the elixir and drank it all in one go. He smacked his lips and said, "This elixir tastes like mint soda." Feng Yue heard his words and looked at him in disbelief. Ever since he first met him in high school, he had labeled Xiao Feng as a weirdo. Because at that time, Xiao Feng walked into their dormitory building with blood dripping from his head while eating a meat bun nonchalantly. At that time, he only brought a backpack and nothing else. It seems like he couldn’t feel pain at all. “You never change, do you?” Feng Yue sighed and sat down beside him. Xiao Feng just smiled without saying a word. He opened the backpack, took out the materials he got from hunting monsters in the morning, and handed them to Feng Yue. Looking at those materials, Feng

    After walking for three hours, they finally arrived at the supermarket area. Along the way, they found patches of wheat, flax, and cotton. There are even some berries, peppers, garlic, corn and pumpkin.Since his level has reached level 5, Feng Yue's physical strength, movement speed, and agility have all been improved. He can harvest a patch in less than ten minutes. He also got a lot of seeds when foraging, because of his high luck status.While Feng Yue was foraging, Xiao Feng went to kill monsters. With good teamwork, they managed to get a lot of items in a short time. When they came to the entrance of the supermarket, they saw that several teams had already gathered there. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, as they looked at each other warily.Feng Yue nudged at Xiao Feng and asked, "Should we sneak in, or join them openly?"Xiao Feng looked at those people thoughtfully, and said, "I think it's better to join them in an upright manner, lest there are monsters inside. We still

    Feng Yue hurriedly left the warehouse, closed the iron door, and locked it. Opening the map, he saw where Xiao Feng was, and went looking for him. They need to leave this place as soon as possible.At the same time, Xiao Feng was collecting dry food and instant food. Although he currently has limited inventory bag slots, it is enough for him to collect all the items in the warehouse.After he packed up all the items in the warehouse, he heard a faint hiss and metal rubbing sound from the roof of the warehouse. He looked up and saw several pairs of red eyes staring at him. He counted the monsters hiding on the beams, and the corners of his mouth curled up after counting.He turned and left the warehouse as if nothing had happened, not even bothering to close the door. He walked with his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment. Not long after leaving the warehouse, he saw Feng Yue striding towards me. From his expression, Xiao Feng could guess that he had already

    He turned around and saw Xiao Feng blocked the mantis’ forelimb with his sword.“Focus!” He said through gritted teeth.Xiao Feng blocked the boss's attack and felt his hands go numb. Although he is well equipped, the pressure from blocking a full blow from a boss who is eight levels higher than himself is still too much for him to bear.Xiao Feng's eyes flashed with killing intent as he swung his long sword forward and slashed diagonally. Following his movements, a transparent wind blade emerged from his sword and flew towards the boss at an extremely fast speed.Slash! Splash!“Hhiiisss!!!”The wind blade slashed on the boss's abdomen, leaving a long wound. Blood spurted from the wound and splashed towards them.Enraged by the injury, the Fire Mantis raised its forelimbs above its head. Sensing its intention, Feng Yue tapped lightly on the earth golem.Boom! Crack!As soon as the mantis forelimbs fell, it was blocked by the hand of the earth golem. Due to the high strength of the fi

    Feng Yue smiled and said, "Not necessary. I have two wishing talismans. Let me make two wishes first." Xiao Feng nodded and said nothing more. Feng Yue clicked on the wishing talisman, and a box appeared in front of him. [ Do you wish to use the wishing talisman? Yes or No ] Feng Yue pressed the "Yes" button and said, "Reset the world." The next second, the talisman was burned to ashes, and a mechanical voice sounded in his mind. [ Your wish has been fulfilled. ] Feng Yue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the guards. The guards had gathered in the public square and were looking at him. Their eyes showed reluctance, helplessness, and sadness when they looked at him. The next moment, all the sentient guards and NPCs knelt down on one knee, saluted him, and said in unison, "Thank you, my Lord, for giving us life. It is our honor to fight alongside you!" Feng Yue felt their emotions because their lives were closely bound to him. He looked at the last wishing charm in his han

    Feng Yue looked at the box above Xiao Feng and saw the word "player" next to the word "NPC". His eyes were red and the words were stuck in his throat. He killed his best friend!As if he knew what he was thinking, Xiao Feng grabbed his wrist and said feebly: "Ah Yue...it's not your fault. Cough...""Stop talking, I will definitely save you." Feng Yue said while continuously using healing skills, but to no avail. Xiao Feng's HP continued to decline rapidly."No need to waste your mana... Ah Yue, listen to me. Tell my brothers that I'm sorry. I hope you... cough.. continue to live well..." Xiao Feng felt his body turn numb as his eyelids became heavier.He knew his time was up and he would die. His only regret is that he can no longer accompany his best friends to realize their dream of becoming the richest man in the world."I'm sorry for not fulfilling our promise... Ah Yue, thank you..." Xiao Feng's voice became weaker and weaker and disappeared with his last breath.Feng Yue was stu

    Gu Yu and Long Aotian did not see how Xiao Feng attacked them, they only felt severe pain in their chests and were knocked away by Xiao Feng's blow. "Cough cough cough!" Gu Yu and Long Aotian spit out a mouthful of blood as they fell to the ground. There was a deep pit beneath them, with countless cracks around it. It can be seen from their situation that Xiao Feng's attack is not light. "Damn it!" Long Aotian lay on the ground and cursed weakly. With just one move, Xiao Feng almost killed him on the spot. What a monster! Seeing this, Feng Yue summoned the forest spirits to heal their injuries. At the same time, he jumped back and distanced himself from Xiao Feng. After getting used to fighting with a long sword, he almost forgot that he was a magic caster. Compared to Xiao Feng, who is a melee DPS, his physical attack power is much weaker. After he stood a hundred meters away from Xiao Feng, Feng Yue said, "Ah Feng, don't worry. I will never leave you behind." After the words

    The moment Feng Yue saw the box, his eyes widened in surprise. Then, the word "player" in Xiao Feng's message box changed to "NPC". When Feng Yue saw Xiao Feng's information, a question flashed in his mind. If NPCs can become players after gaining consciousness, then why did Xiao Feng change from a player to an NPC? The only answer is that Xiao Feng's consciousness disappeared. In other words, his soul has been destroyed, and at this time, he is just a puppet of the phantom system! As soon as Feng Yue came to this conclusion, his eyes turned red and he said, "Impossible! You are the strongest player in the entire server. The smartest person I know. How could the system kill you like this?! Xiao Feng, answer me!" Although he is unwilling to accept the fact that his best friend is dead, he still needs to kill the last boss to save all players. But even though his soul was gone and just a puppet at this moment, he couldn't kill him. Just when Feng Yue was emotionally unstable, Xiao

    Feng Yue does not want to accept the mission to fight Xiao Feng, but if the mission is not completed, the player may be annihilated by the monster's attack. Maybe when he defeats the last boss, the monster attacks will stop. Feng Yue gritted his teeth and finally accepted the mission. The moment he accepted the mission, a mechanical voice sounded throughout the server. [ The sub-mission of the Legendary Hidden Mission has been activated. Game Master is required to defeat the last boss. The last boss, Grim Reaper will be summoned in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… 0!] Everyone was shocked when they heard the announcement. Not to mention that they need a game master to defeat the last boss, they don't even know there is a game master at all. They haven't completed the current mission and the system has already started the next mission. Isn’t this system too perverted?! Unlike those shocked and angry players, the guards' eyes lit up when they heard the announcement. They had always suspected that the

    The lowest level of the monsters is 60 and the highest is 80. The defense and attack power of the villages and towns are much lower than the monsters. In addition, there are fewer guards and players to defend the territory. In less than an hour, more than 300 villages and 47 towns were destroyed by monster attacks. When Feng Yue opened the world map, his eyes widened in surprise. The dense blue dots are now more than half gone, while the red dots have grown over time. There had been no announcements about the destruction of the territory as there had been before, so no one had noticed the situation yet. After thinking about the situation for a moment, Feng Yue used a megaphone to inform everyone about the matter. [ Feng Yue : Everyone, in less than an hour, half of player-owned territory was destroyed. For players who have Lord Tokens but don't have enough power to defend their land, I recommend that you merge your territory with someone else's. The level of monsters does not depen

Blacksmith 001 : Yes, my lord. After Feng Yue placed the order, he set the prices of restaurants, general goods stores, and workshops to zero coins. He then limited the buff foods, elixirs, potions, and bombs that each player could take each day. As for the potion, he left it to the alchemy team to distribute it to the players. After all, they have a lot of materials for making potions, but things like elixirs are limited.

    Feng Yue looked in surprise at a small bean sprout-like plant floating in the center of the formation, shrouded in rainbow light. Just when he was still marveling at the power of the phantom seed, a loud cracking sound resounded throughout the grassland. CRACK! Feng Yue waved his hand to summoned the divine beasts back, and put the phantom seed into his personal storage. Crack crack crack! As more and more cracks appeared on the black dragon egg, Feng Yue felt a heavy pressure pressing on him. In an instant, a golden barrier appeared around him. Crack crack crack! PRANK! In less than five seconds, the golden barrier created by the forest spirits was shattered. Feng Yue stood up and leaped backward, distancing himself from the black dragon egg as far as possible. The forest spirits created a barrier again, and in less than five seconds, it shattered again. Feng Yue waved his hand, and a Yin Yang barrier was formed. The forest spirits and divine angels turned into a beam of light

    Feng Yue waved his palm, and the black dragon egg and dragon flames flew to the formation. It stopped in the center of the formation. At this time, Jin Yang and others had formed five star arrays around the black dragon egg, and the world’s artifacts were floating in front of them. Feng Yue gritted his teeth and slashed his palm using the abyss sword. When his blood dropped on the formation, it disappeared instantly. At the same time, the formation began to glow. The more his blood drips onto the formation, the brighter the formation's light becomes. Feng Yue checked his status information and found that his hp was continuously decreasing. When his HP was reduced by 70%, he took out a bowl of five-grain vegetable soup and finished it in a few mouthfuls. His hp was instantly restored by 75%. After the wound scabbed over, he cut it open again and continued to activate the formation with blood. After repeating this for nearly an hour, Feng Yue's back and forehead were covered with col
