Chapter 6: The Furious Bloodthirsty Wolf Lord!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wasteland City.

Within the [ Heartless Bloodwolf ]s spawn zone.

In front of the ruins of a research office building that existed before the apocalypse.

The buildings of the bygone era were not completely destroyed. All kinds of exquisite research instruments were covered in dust within the ruins. A wall of test tubes that contained a collection of various solutions could be found on one side. The liquids from the test tubes had slowly leaked out, mixing together to form a green sludge that gradually dropped down from the wall.

At the place where the green sludge had gathered, stood a mutated wolf-like creature that was three meters tall and had a python-like tail. It was the Heartless Bloodwolf Lord!

It was Su Chen’s target!

[ Heartless Mutated Bloodwolf Lord ]

Level: 10

HP: 5,000

Attack: 50-80

Defense: 100

Speed: 30

Skills: [ Bite ][ Spiked Tail Swipe ]

Description: One of the first batch of wild animals to be contaminated by mankind’s pollution. Its fur is as tough as iron, and it has a tail full of spikes. It feels no pain, and upon landing two consecutive hits onto its targets, its following attacks would deal increased damage.

Due to the side effects of the contamination, it will enter a weakened state from time to time, and at most twice within a month. Every time it is weakened, all of its attributes would be reduced by half, and each weakened state would last for 10 minutes.

Su Chen was alarmed by the description regarding the weakened state. 

As far as he could tell, the Wolf Lord that he had encountered earlier seemed to be in its weakened state.

Nevertheless, the Wolf Lord’s ferocity had still left a lasting impression in Su Chen’s mind.

After all, the Heartless Bloodwolf Lord was the strongest boss within the Wasteland dungeon.

It had a super-thick HP of 5,000, and it had a sky high defense of 100 points.

It also had two skills.

Ordinary newbies stood zero chance fighting it alone. They would not even last three hits against it, and they would likely immediately flee back to the safe zones upon realizing the sheer power of the Wolf Lord.

If they were unlucky and did not manage to escape, they would be reduced to a white ray of light before being sent back to the central resurrection point.

Players below level 10 would not lose levels when they died. All they would lose would be their experience points. After all, even though the Wasteland was a dungeon for newcomers, they must still be penalized so that they would be incentivized against dying.

On the other hand, once players above level 10 died, they would immediately lose a level, all equipment that they had just obtained in the past minute, and there would also be a 10% chance of losing items that were stored in their storage bracelet.

Therefore, the most hated of players would at most be sent back to the Wasteland City dungeon, as killing a player past level 10 was highly inefficient.

Back to the matter at hand, Su Chen was razor-focused in his upcoming battle against the Wolf Lord.

After all, time was limited. He could not afford any mistakes, as not only would his death result in his hard earned half-bar of exp being reduced to zero, but it would also make him lose out on the Level Sprint reward.

Therefore, after forming his battle plan, he immediately fired his first wave of attack at the Wolf Lord!

[ Fireball ]!

Su Chen, who was wearing a dark blue robe, clenched his staff tightly. Flames surged at the tip of the staff, and before long, a ball of pale blue-orange flame that was the size of a football had formed. the wasteland city immediately surged and slowly gathered at the top of Su Chen’s staff.

To think that his Fireball used to be the size of a small fist!

With a wave of the staff, the fireball smashed into the Wolf Lord’s curled up body on the ground!

342!

A terrifying damage value jumped out from the Wolf Lord’s body.

AWOOOO!

An angry howl came from the Wolf Lord’s mouth!

With a powerful kick from its hind legs against the ground, the Wolf Lord immediately shot up into the air!

Its scarlet eyes instantly locked onto Su Chen, and the iron-hard fur all over its body slowly stood up. As strange colorful patterns began to spread across its body, the old research room was suddenly filled with a dangerous atmosphere!

Although Su Chen had faced the Wolf Lord in its weakened state previously, it was still considered as having prior experience. As such, Su Chen was not unnerved by the sight before him

Once the cooldown of [ Fireball ] was over, Su Chen began to cast it again!

The Fireball began to form once more.

However, the Wolf Lord, that had now regained its original stats would no longer let Su Chen get his attacks in that easily!

While Su Chen was casting his skill, the Wolf Lord rushed towards him, and in a blink of an eye, its shadowy figure was right before Su Chen and it had slashed his claws towards Su Chen.

Although he was surprised by the Wolf Lord’s astonishing speed, Su Chen still reacted quickly, and he had leaped backward in the nick of time!

At the same time, the fireball spell that had he just finished casting smashed into the Wolf Lord’s face with deadly precision!

411!

Su Chen’s robes fluttered in the wind due to all the dodging that he was doing. At the same time, Su Chen was also observing the damage he had inflicted from the unexpected critical hit, and an epiphany seemed to dawn on him.

Previously, perhaps due to the Wolf Lord’s sturdy fur, Su Chen’s Elemental Power of 440 could only manage to deal around 340 damage onto the Wolf Lord.

However, the attack that had landed on the Wolf Lord’s face was different. Due to the lack of fur on its face, Su Chen was able to land a more damaging attack when he struck its face!

Upon taking the Fireball head-on, the Heartless Bloodwolf Lord was immediately inflicted with the “Burn” status effect. Enraged by this, the Wolf Lord turned furious and pounced towards Su Chen once more.

Su Chen’s HP was still at a healthy level. He had yet to consume any potions as he constantly weaved and maneuvered about to dodge the Wolf Lord’s attacks.

The Wolf Lord lunged forward and opened its mouth, baring its razor sharp fangs that were contaminated with the pollutants from the test tubes towards Su Chen.

Su Chen once again attempted to dodge its attack.

However…

The Wolf King suddenly turned around and slammed its python-like thorny tail into Su Chen’s body. Damage figures instantly popped up above him!

68!

Su Chen’s HP dropped by nearly a fifth.

Fortunately, Su Chen had already finished casting before the Wolf Lord struck him. Otherwise, his attack would have very likely been interrupted!

Being a virtual world, the intense pain that Su Chen had suffered had only lasted for a second before it disappeared. Aside from that, the seemingly grievous wound had vanished at the same time as well.

Therefore, once Su Chen had finished adjusting his aim, he fired his Fireball from his staff and struck the Wolf Lord.

349!

The Wolf Lord’s HP had dropped from 5,000 to 4,000!

At the same time, Su Chen made a last minute change to his strategy.

He decided to target the Wolf Lord’s hind legs instead.

The wounds on players’ bodies would heal instantly, but the same did not apply to wild mounters.

The Wolf Lord had high HP and agility, but low attack.

Therefore, Su Chen wanted to hit the Wolf Lord’s Achilles’ Heel.

After suffering through several of the Wolf Lord’s Spiked Tail Swipes, Su Chen had finally managed to cripple the Wolf Lord’s hind legs. As a result, the Wolf Lord’s speed was noticeable reduced!

At the same time, the Wolf Lord’s HP had also dropped to 1,000.

Naturally, Su Chen had also paid a hefty price to gain the upper hand. He had already drank all the HP and MP potions that he had purchased using 50 coins.

Under normal circumstances, 50 Gold Coins was enough to purchase half-a-month long of resources within [ Ark ].

There were still 8 minutes left before the deadline of the level-up achievement.

The plan to kill the Wolf King was gradually coming to an end.

…

In the ruins not far behind Su Chen.

While Su Chen was coming up with a battle plan to take down the Wolf Lord.

A man and a woman walked over and stopped.

The man was Level 10. He was wearing armor and looked average. He held a broadsword.

He was a Swordsman with the specialization of [ Heavy Swordsman ] .

The woman was Level 7. Her looks were average, but she was petite. Her sexy figure was completely outlined by her choice of attire. She had a soft waist and a gray bow on her back. She was an Archer.

The two of them were obviously a couple. They had formed a party to level up.

“Brother Mu, I think there are fewer people here. Let’s level up here.”

The Petite Su Yan held the man’s arm and said in a sweet voice.

“Okay, let’s farm here then.”

“Oh right, baby, just focus on using your starter skills later. No need to bother attacking and aiming normally.”

“Although the damage is much lower, it’s a guaranteed hit. Moreover, with me around, you don’t have to worry about not dealing enough damage. My attack stat is at 200 points!”

Mu Han smiled and said to Su Yan.

Although Mu Han appeared to be speaking softly on the surface, in reality, he was on the brink of despair mentally. He was completely speechless at her lack of ability.

Back when he had brought her to farm monsters previously, his partner had somehow missed all attacks whenever she was not using her starter skill. She could not even land an arrow onto a target that was standing right in front of her. It was truly ridiculous!

If it was not for her BOMBSHELL figure, he would not have bothered partying up with her.

“Okay… Hey, Brother Mu, is that person thinking of farming the Wolf Lord?”

“Didn’t you say that it’s impossible for rookies like us to defeat it?”

Su Yan looked around and spotted Su Chen approaching the Wolf Lord.

Hearing this, Mu Han also turned around and revealed a disdainful smile.

“Hehe, this kid must be crazy.”

“I’ve studied the boss extensively before this. For newbies, a minimum party of three is required to take down a Wolf Lord, otherwise, we’re simply just courting death.”

Unless the Wolf King was currently in a weakened state.

In the end, Mu Han silently added another sentence in his heart.

As he had stayed in the Wasteland dungeon for a long time in order to pick up girls, Mu Han, who was stuck at level 10, had at least some understanding of the Wolf Lord.

A Level 9 newbie fighting solo against the Wolf Lord was a death flag if he had ever seen one.

“Just you wait, this Level 9 kid will be killed in less than 10 seconds!”

What transpired after that left Mu Han speechless.

In the end, he was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off!

After all, the first hit that Su Chen had landed onto the Wolf Lord with his Fireball had managed to deal 300+ damage despite its 100-point thick defense!

Was there a f*cking bug?

Even with his attack power of 200 points, he could only deal less than 100 points of damage against the Wolf Lord’s high defenses.

How could this person…

“!”

Before Mu Han could finish his thought, the next scene made him and Su Yan widen their eyes even further.

Despite the Wolf Lord’s massive and quick claw swipes, the player with the ID “Su Chen” had managed to effortlessly dodge it!

Although Mu Han knew that in [ Ark ] , it was possible to dodge the attacks of wild monsters through positioning and dodging. The system simulated one’s physical abilities near perfectly in the simulation. 

In reality, those who could repeat Su Chen’s feats were likely one-in-a-million.

More shockingly, Su Chen seemed to be doing it effortlessly.

There was no sense of urgency to any of his movements. It felt as if he was taking a casual stroll in the park.

How can he be so skilled?

“Brother Mu… This person, he…”

As a newbie in the gaming field, Su Yan, who barely understood the workings of the game, could also tell that this was an anomaly.

The following scene of Su Chen attacking the Wolf Lord’s weak spot and kiting it left them dumbfounded once again. Had they not seen Su Chen chugging down health potions and mana potions frantically, they would have suspected that there was a bug in the system.

As Su Chen’s hunt neared its end…

Mu Han, who was momentarily stunned, also came back to his senses.

There was definitely something amiss.

The Wolf Lord was not an easy target to bring down.

Mu Han looked at the tottering wolf king in the distance and suddenly had a thought.

Could this person have encountered the Wolf King’s weakened state twice within a month?!

Yes.

That was definitely the case. Otherwise, there’s definitely no way that he could deal such a high amount of damage.

A shame that I didn’t encounter it myself.

Otherwise, it might drop…

Wait!

A thought immediately appeared in Mu Han’s mind.

Who said this Wolf Lord belonged to Su Chen?

As far as the system was concerned, the person to land the final hit on an opponent would be its killer.

Mu Han’s entire body began to tremble with excitement.

He was certain that Su Chen had already exhausted all of his potions. After all, it had been a while since he last brought out any potions.

The Wolf Lord was at a low health, and the Mage who was one level lower than himself was left with no potions.

Moreover, he also had a level 7 companion at his side.

Mu Han’s eyes turned green with greed.

He quickly grabbed Su Yan’s hand and rushed toward Su Chen..
