Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Where's My Knife?! [Please Collect]
In their memory, the monsters in the Newbie Village had territorial boundaries, and it was rare to see them running around randomly.
But this level 1 Rabbit appeared on Tiger Mountain?
Something was not right!
Before the three of them could react, Yu Qing suddenly turned her head: "Careful, that Tiger is behind that big stone!"
Madman also said, "Ignore the level 1 Rabbit for now, get ready to deal with the Big Boss!"
Madman drew his Black Kill Blade and stood in front of Yu Qing, excitedly saying, "Back then, it took more than fifty of us over an hour to get out of the village. This time, it's revenge and fun combined!"
Evil King drew his dagger, lowered his body, and within a few steps, disappeared into the shadows as his body blurred.
Yu Qing gripped her Magic Wand tightly; though they were all veteran players, this was the first time they played such a realistic game, the first time they reincarnated, and the first time they used Magic to fight a Boss, so she was both excited and nervous.
But the happiest was Yi Zheng, who had initially planned to watch from a distance. A mistake had landed him in the VIP spectator seat.
So he didn't move and just sat there, eating a Carrot and enjoying the show.
The Tiger hiding behind the big stone was also frustrated. Who would have thought that after a year and a half of practicing its hide-and-seek Divine Skill, it was still discovered.
With no other choice, the Tiger stepped out.
What was that about dragons following clouds and tigers following the wind?
As soon as it emerged, Tiger Mountain was suddenly swept by a fierce wind!
"Roar!" A Tiger's roar echoed through the mountains, leaves rustling wildly, the momentum reaching its peak!
Yi Zheng clicked his tongue in admiration, thinking, "Pretty impressive, might switch to this mount later."
The majestic Tiger stopped about ten meters in front of Madman, crouched slightly, and then suddenly launched an attack—Tiger Pounce!
Like a cannonball, the Tiger charged at Madman, who didn't flinch, roaring as he swung his Black Kill Blade to clash with the Tiger. With a loud bang, Madman staggered back, but he managed to block the Tiger's pounce.
Madman's hands went numb from the shock, but he howled to the sky in excitement: "Awesome!"
Since ancient times, the tale of Wu Song fighting a tiger was legendary, and many men dreamed of it.
Couldn't achieve it on Earth, and now he could finally fight a fierce Tiger. Madman felt an unspeakable excitement, a romance and passion that belonged to men!
In that moment, Madman completely forgot about the Mage Yu Qing behind him, swinging his Big Saber and launching an attack first.
Yu Qing cursed "Madman," then chanted a spell. A Fireball flew from her raised hand. The Tiger, sensing the threat, dodged to the side but a black shadow suddenly emerged from its back and delivered a quick stab!
Splat!
The Tiger let out a wail, its tail sweeping fiercely, but Evil King, after landing a hit, turned and ran, giving no chance for a Counterattack.
Madman seized the opportunity and slashed at the Tiger's front paw, blood splattering on the ground, rendering the Tiger's movement awkward.
Then a Big Fireball hit the Tiger's face, causing it to stagger...
Yi Zheng watched as the Tiger was besieged by the three, taking a bite of Carrot and shaking his head slightly, "The Newbie Village gatekeeping Boss is this weak? Too soft."
As soon as he said that, the Tiger slapped its paw on Madman's blade. Madman held it off with his saber, but just as he was about to boast, the Tiger suddenly opened its mouth: "Wind Cannon!"
Boom!
Madman was blasted away like a cannonball, his Black Kill Blade flying off as well.
Coincidentally, the blade landed right in front of Yi Zheng, almost ending his bloodline.
Yi Zheng squinted at the blade in front of him.
In the distance, Madman, having rolled more than twenty meters, finally stopped, choking up blood but grinning: "Good one, no wonder you're the Newbie Village Big Boss, that hurt like crazy! Lucky my Armor is decent, or I'd have been doomed."
"Madman, stop talking and come distract it!" Nearby Yu Qing had lost her previous elegance, running with her dress hiked up, the long legs flashing before Yi Zheng as she ran to and fro.
Yi Zheng munched on his Carrot while gazing upwards at the view: "I like that Mage Robe, but the slit is a bit low. Could be higher."
Madman realized something was wrong and shouted, "I'm coming!"
Then he froze, looking around in confusion: "Where's my saber?! Anyone see my saber?"
Madman shouted.
Yu Qing said, "Your saber flew off, I didn't see where it went, help me!"
Evil King said, "I didn't see it either, the Tiger blocked my view."
Madman struggled to recall the final scene before being blasted away, vaguely remembering his saber had flown in that direction, and then he saw it—a fluffy, plump, innocent-looking Little Rabbit sitting in the grass munching on a Carrot.
But his gaze quickly moved past the Rabbit, clearly not thinking it would take his saber.
After searching all around and failing to find it, Madman glared at Evil King: "Did you take it?"
Evil King angrily said, "I took nothing! Yu Qing can vouch for me, I was fighting the Tiger the whole time."
Yu Qing said, "I vouch, he didn't take it, help me!"
Rip!
The Tiger had torn a huge chunk out of Yu Qing's dress with a swipe, instantly raising the Mage Robe's slit much higher!
The sight of her white thigh also came into full view.
In that instant, Madman forgot about the saber, Evil King was momentarily dazed and nearly got swiped to death by the Tiger's tail, and Yi Zheng dropped his Carrot, eyes going even wider.
For a split second, the three different species had a common thought: "How about letting the Tiger chase her a bit longer?"
"I'm about to die, help me!" Yu Qing screamed.
Madman finally snapped back to reality. Realizing now wasn't the time to worry about the saber, he drew out a blue-quality saber from Newbie Village and charged forward to block the Tiger, using his strong Defense to hold it off.
Yu Qing finally caught her breath, and Evil King found another chance to strike at the Tiger's back.
Having learned from before, the Tiger now couldn't surprise attack Madman with its Wind Cannon. Madman managed to dodge in advance and stab the Tiger whenever it used a Skill.
Fireball after Backstabbing, the Big Saber slashing wildly, the Tiger's blood volume quickly decreased. Seeing the Tiger becoming a blood-drenched mess, Madman and the others became even more cautious.
Madman reminded: "First-time kill of the Newbie Village Boss will trigger Berserk; a Berserk Boss drops better loot. So don't rush to kill it, torture it, enrage it, and kill it after it enters the Frenzied State."
Yu Qing and Evil King nodded in agreement.
Yi Zheng stroked his chin and muttered, "Didn't know about this Berserk thing, lucky I didn't step in first...
Note to self: Wait for Berserk during black-on-black fights;
In single combat, strike hard, don't give the opponent a chance to go Berserk."
While Yi Zheng was learning on the sly, the Tiger suddenly roared, and its whole body began to glow blood red as its blood volume bottomed out.
