Chapter 5: Wind Spirit – Longbow!

“Roar!”

The Demonized Wild Dog King lunged with its ferocious maw. Jiang Chen’s nerves were taut, and in that instant, he exerted full force on his legs and dodged sideways.

MISS!

Jiang Chen successfully evaded the Wild Dog King’s attack.

It had to be said—what just happened was a heart-pounding moment. Hope World felt almost as real as reality itself. Those savage fangs had practically grazed his skin—how could anyone not be terrified?

After dodging the strike, Jiang Chen summoned the enemy’s detailed attribute panel.

[Demonized Wild Dog King]

Quality: Bronze-grade BOSS

Level: Lv8

HP: 115,000

Attack: 187–259

Defense: 45

Skills: Brutal Bite (The Wild Dog King charges up and delivers a devastating bite, dealing 170% damage.)

Skills: Bloodthirsty Demonization (Enters a bloodthirsty state. Restores 1% HP upon killing a unit.)

Skills: Description: The sovereign of Wolf Mountain, it possesses terrifying bite strength. After being demonized, its power became even more formidable, turning it into an adventurer’s worst nightmare.

A single glance at the stats—this Wild Dog King was utterly overpowered.

With a max attack of 259, the average player wouldn’t even survive a single hit. Even Jiang Chen felt uncertain. Factoring in the skill bonus, the Wild Dog King’s damage could spike to 440, while Jiang Chen’s total HP was only 480.

Let alone a critical hit—if a regular strike triggered a crit, Jiang Chen would be dead on the spot.

Thinking back on it now sent chills down his spine. If he had taken a bite earlier, the situation would’ve quickly spiraled out of control.

And then there was the boss’s monstrous HP. Only Level 8, yet it had 115,000 HP. With Jiang Chen’s 121 attack power, this battle would be a drawn-out war of attrition.

Plus, the monster had 45 points of defense. Ordinary players wouldn’t even be able to break through that.

Worse still, the Demonized Wild Dog King had [Bloodthirsty Demonization]—a skill that let it recover health through kills. That sort of ability was a nightmare for guild players.

This type of ‘combat regen-type’ BOSS could only be taken down by a well-coordinated elite squad. Guild zerg tactics wouldn’t work at all.

That’s the true horror of a BOSS.

It had high HP, high defense, high attack—and terrifying regeneration.

But that was only natural. A BOSS was meant to be the king of its region—of course it couldn’t be easily taken down by random players.

If Jiang Chen didn’t have a full set of bronze and silver-grade equipment, he wouldn’t even dare stand in this area, let alone entertain the idea of soloing a BOSS.

It was precisely thanks to his high-quality gear that he had the strength—and hope—to try.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

As Jiang Chen contemplated, the Stone Embryo Bow never stopped firing. One [Refined Iron Arrow] after another sliced through the air.

-93!

-89!

-101!

-87!

Each arrow struck the Wild Dog King like iron chains latching onto its body. The beast let out pained howls—it was truly suffering.

It felt so real. Even a BOSS wasn’t invulnerable. Jiang Chen continued to retreat while drawing and firing his bow—dodging attacks while maintaining steady DPS.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

Five minutes later.

The Demonized Wild Dog King’s HP had dropped by about 40%. At this point, the system registered it as being lightly wounded. Crimson blood began to ooze from its muscular frame, and its eyes grew colder, filled with murderous intent.

“Roar!”

Furious, it activated [Bloodthirsty Demonization]. A red mist began to shroud its body, radiating an oppressive aura.

But this had no impact on Jiang Chen—after all, there were no other players nearby for the BOSS to kill and regain HP from.

“Thud!”

MISS!

The Wild Dog King pounced again, but Jiang Chen easily dodged it. His 35 points in Agility were being used to their fullest potential.

When kiting a monster, the greatest mistake is getting greedy for damage. One must not linger just to fire one more arrow—it only invites danger.

Jiang Chen remembered this well. After every shot, he immediately repositioned. Even if this slightly reduced his overall DPS*, staying alive was the most important thing. Taking down the BOSS was merely a matter of time.

[*Damage Per Second]

And so, the situation on the field remained stable.

Time ticked by.

Ten minutes later.

The Demonized Wild Dog King’s HP had dropped to around 5%.

During this period, Jiang Chen had used over 1,100 [Refined Iron Arrows]. Thankfully, he had brought plenty; otherwise, once his quiver was empty, he would’ve been forced to flee with nothing left to shoot.

-202!

The next moment, a larger damage number appeared—a critical hit.

Dealing over 200 damage to a Bronze BOSS as a Level 6 player—any average player who saw this would’ve had their eyes pop out of their sockets.

When others barely had 200 HP, Jiang Chen was already hitting for 200 on a BOSS. How could one not be shocked?

Perfect—keep it up!

As the BOSS was about to fall, Jiang Chen was in high spirits. He was curious to see what kind of gear and loot the Wild Dog King would drop.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

With a final flurry of arrows, the Demonized Wild Dog King howled in agony and collapsed in defeat.

“Ding! Congratulations on killing the Bronze-grade BOSS: Demonized Wild Dog King. EXP +6000!”

As the system chime rang, a golden light radiated beneath Jiang Chen’s feet. In an instant, he leveled up twice and gained 10 free attribute points.

[Level: Lv8 (450/8000)]

Perfect. Level 8 now…

But now came the real prize. Jiang Chen’s gaze landed on the Wild Dog King’s corpse.

A Bronze-grade BOSS was guaranteed to drop bronze gear—and with the Hundredfold Reward effect, at the very least he should get silver gear.

Feeling giddy, Jiang Chen began looting the corpse…

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, you received loot: Silver Coins +45. Triggered [Hundredfold Reward] effect: You receive +4500 Silver Coins!”

“Congratulations, you received loot: [Greenvine Longbow] (Bronze). Triggered [Hundredfold Reward] effect: You receive [Wind Spirit · Longbow] (Gold)!”

“Congratulations, you received loot: [Treasure Map]. Triggered [Hundredfold Reward] effect: You receive [Treasure Hoard]!”

As he looted the body, a series of system notifications rang out.

Jiang Chen’s attention focused entirely on the single piece of equipment dropped by the BOSS.
