How Do We Play If This Boss Isn't Nerfed?-Chapter 49: The Secret of the Ruined City
The Ruined City.
The night concealed the desolation and deathly silence of the day.
Once night fell, this place became a paradise for countless mutated beasts.
It was also Lin Ye’s hunting ground.
He only had three months.
Every day, he had to push himself to his absolute limit.
Lin Ye remained cautious and careful.
Lin Ye started by cleanly and decisively killing a Level 7 mutated beast.
He then took the corpse, which reeked of blood, and tossed it into an open area.
This was a method he had discovered to increase his efficiency the last time he came to the Ruined City to level up.
Among the mutated beasts of the Ruined City, it was a relationship of kill or be killed.
A fresh mutated beast corpse served as the perfect bait.
Lin Ye lay in wait in the darkness, silently anticipating the arrival of other mutated beasts.
Sure enough, the overpowering scent of blood acted like an invisible torch in the dead, dark silence, quickly attracting other mutated beasts.
Rustling sounds and strange hisses rose from every corner.
In the darkness, pairs of beastly eyes, glowing with spectral light of various colors, lit up like will-o’-the-wisps.
Gradually, Lin Ye was able to make out the types and levels of these mutated beasts.
The first to emerge from the shadows were three Level 6 mutant wolf spiders.
Their eight legs, like sharp scythes, scraped against the ground with a piercing sound.
The sound of beating wings filled the air.
Two Level 7 mutant giant bats flew over and hung upside down from the dilapidated window ledge of a nearby building, their crimson eyes locked on the mutant wolf spiders.
Farther away, several weaker but equally greedy figures patrolled the darkness, also waiting for their chance.
Before obtaining the [Crush] mechanic, Lin Ye would have chosen to retreat.
But tonight, all these monsters with levels lower than his would become his experience points.
Lin Ye shot out from the shadows, pushing his speed to the limit. He was like a black arrow, streaking straight toward one of the mutant wolf spiders that had already begun to feast.
BANG!
His heavy staff came crashing down, smashing right through the unlucky spider’s abdomen and spilling its innards all over the ground.
Its eight sharp legs twitched and struggled as it let out a series of screeches.
Seeing their kin in danger, the other two wolf spiders let out sharp hisses and shot two streams of milky-white silk from their mandibles, trying to ensnare Lin Ye!
Lin Ye’s eyes were ice-cold. He stomped his foot and, instead of retreating, advanced. Dodging the spray of webs, he thrust his staff forward without pause!
The aura of [Crush] spread out.
The two mutant wolf spiders froze for an instant.
In the end, Lin Ye bludgeoned them to death with a few more strikes of his staff.
SKREEE!!
Lin Ye’s ears twitched.
He heard the sound of flapping wings.
He knew the two mutant bats were planning to take advantage of his fight with the spiders, hoping to swoop in and profit from the chaos.
Lin Ye stood his ground, but he wasn’t just standing there dazed.
Air currents gathered, and a ripple of energy, visible to the naked eye, shimmered across his staff!
After charging for two seconds, the approaching giant bat was nearly upon him, its crimson eyes and two sharp fangs almost at his face!
’Now!’
Lin Ye’s biceps tensed and bulged. The staff, imbued with all his strength and fury, fell with a calamitous roar, whistling as it tore through the air!
BANG!!!
A deafening boom, far deeper than any before!
The mutant giant bat didn’t even have time to scream before its skull was smashed open by the blow!
But it wasn’t over.
The terrifying force tore through its entire body with devastating ease!
SPLAT!
A mixture of crimson fluid and shattered organs exploded outward!
This Level 7 mutated beast had been smashed into a pile of bloody pulp, from head to toe!
The greed in the eyes of the other mutant giant bat, still in mid-air, was instantly replaced by terror. It let out a sharp shriek and desperately flapped its wings, trying to brake.
It performed a sharp turn in the air and tried to flee.
’Trying to run?’
A cold glint flashed in Lin Ye’s eyes. He raised his staff, the muscles in his arm tensing in an instant, like a fully drawn bow!
WHOOSH!
The staff transformed into a black streak of light, letting out a sharp whistle as it pierced the giant bat’s wing with unerring accuracy!
The giant bat shrieked in pain, lost its balance, and spiraled down from dozens of meters in the air.
Lin Ye moved like lightning, rushing to the falling bat. Before it could even struggle, he pulled out his staff and rained down a flurry of heavy blows.
[You have slain 3x Level 6 mutant wolf spiders!]
[You have slain 2x Level 7 mutant giant bats!]
[Affected by the Five Qi Guiding Formulas, your experience multiplier has been set to 150%. You have gained a total of 180 experience points!]
Not only was his experience gain not penalized, but he even got a 150% bonus multiplier.
Killing one beast now was worth as much as killing three in the past!
Lin Ye heard the sounds of the few other mutated beasts that had been lurking in the darkness gradually retreating into the distance.
These mutated beasts weren’t stupid.
After witnessing Lin Ye’s brutal slaughter, they weren’t about to foolishly charge forward and offer up their lives.
...
Time flew by in a frenzy of slaughter.
Like a tireless war machine, Lin Ye moved from one place to another, setting bait and then slaughtering the mutated beasts that couldn’t resist the temptation.
Those two levels below him, the Level 6s, were guaranteed kills—dead within three strikes of his staff!
As for the Level 7s, thanks to the [Crush] mechanic, it just took a little more effort, but their defeat was also guaranteed!
Only when he encountered mutated beasts of the same level as himself would Lin Ye opt for a more cautious one-on-one hunt.
Before he knew it, Lin Ye discovered that the outer ring of the Ruined City had become his personal slaughterhouse.
