Chapter 43: The Skeleton General

0 yuan on a bucket of instant noodlesBut, the god-level talent card must be among these instant noodles...Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and opened his phone.Two boxes of instant noodles, 24 packs."Your W...Everywhere you look in the streets and alleys of the Necropolis, you see skeletal monsters wandering about. Some drag rusty great swords, others carry bone bows, their bodies devoid of all flesh.

The skeletons in this area are all between levels 17 and 18, while those fighting them are mostly level 14 players. The large level difference means that even if these players team up in groups of three or four, they still struggle significantly. White light flashes constantly around them, and Zhang Yi even witnessed a four-player team being wiped out by a newly spawned elite skeleton warrior who was level 17!

When the team was wiped out, the Elite Skeleton Warrior still had two-thirds of its health remaining. However, none of the other players dared to approach, as they had just witnessed firsthand how a four-person team sacrificed their lives to only whittle away one-third of the Elite Skeleton Warrior's health.

Zhang Yi, who had just arrived in this high-end area, focused his gaze on the elite skeleton warrior who was roaring arrogantly: "Good fellow, a direct elite start"

"Then let's do it."

After finishing his statement, as the other players around him could only stare in trepidation, Zhang Yi strode forward, brandishing his flaming staff towards the menacing [Skeleton Captain].

At this time, the surrounding players were abuzz with discussion.

"A 13th-level Beast Tamer, is this going to single out that 17th-level elite Skeleton Such a fearless rookie!"

"Haha, he's going to his death. He doesn't even have a teammate, and he's still a low-level beastmaster with poor attribute growth. Do you guys think he can withstand a few attacks from the Skeleton General"

"How many more hits Didn't you see that wiped team just now They were all level 14 with full gear, warriors and knights and the like - frontliners! Even they couldn't withstand the Skeleton Commander's attacks for two or three hits, yet this guy... One hit, and he was instantly killed!"

No one was optimistic about Zhang Yi. To be honest, if Zhang Yi were an outsider, seeing a 13th-level Beastmaster alone with a one-star staff and no hat attempting to solo an 17th-level elite monster, they would probably think the guy had lost his mind.

Just then, Zhang Yi, who had entered the 50-meter effective attack range of the Skeleton General, stopped his steps, raised his staff in his hand, and cast a spell quickly. A [Fireball] shot forward, striking the Skeleton General who was brandishing a large cleaver and roaring loudly.

Boom!

The searing fireball struck the skeletal general with pinpoint accuracy. In an instant, a blood-red damage number exploded above his head—

-218!

This over 200 point damage undoubtedly shocked the countless players watching the show around, after all, it was unbelievable for a level 13 Beastmaster to deal such damage, and even against an elite monster that was four levels higher than him.

Even so, the crowd was still not optimistic about Zhang Yi. Even with a high damage output, he alone could not be a match for the Skeleton General.

The only one who didn't think so was Zhang Yi himself.

Having slain nine Divine Dragons of the Lianlong Clan, Zhang Yi truly didn't care about a mere Level 17 elite monster.

Boom!

Another basic attack released a purple magic ball, hitting the Skeleton Commander and dealing 150 points of damage!

The fireball spell launched at the start had already triggered the Burning talent on the fire staff. Every second, a 38 point burn damage appeared above the skull general's head.

Woof woof!

The attacked skeleton general roared a few times, then brandished his greatsword and charged towards Zhang Yi!

Here it comes, everyone, get ready to see that thing get one-shot!

“The staff in his hand looks like a top-tier item. That much damage and burn effect definitely come from that staff. Once he gets killed, the staff will drop, remember what we agreed on Whoever gets it first keeps it!”

Ignoring the buzz of the surrounding crowd, Zhang Yi kept waving his staff before the skeleton general could get closer. After unleashing a [Lightning Chain], he followed up with several basic attack spells, blasting a string of damage onto the skeleton general's head.

-270! (Chain Lightning single target damage Lucky hit)

-150!

-300 Critical Hit!

Critical hit! -225

-38 burning...

-38 burning....

……

A series of high damage attacks had forced the Skeleton Captain to inch closer to Zhang Yi from a distance of forty or fifty meters. By the time he reached him, his health bar was reduced from two-thirds to one-third!

"Damn! That's too messed up!" A collective gasp echoed around the room.

Zhang Yi seized the moment. As the Skeleton General launched its charge and slash, he gave up the opportunity to attack again. Instead, he jumped to his right, narrowly dodging the Skeleton General's blow.

MISS!

He countered with a fireball, then dodged the skeletal commander's slashing attack again through precise positioning!

This scene shocked the surrounding players once again.

This guy, he's actually a master manipulator!

It is not easy for a melee profession to dodge enemy attacks by maneuvering, 17 points of agility are like a godsend for Zhang Yi.

Taking advantage of every opportunity to dodge the Skeleton General's attacks, Zhang Yi would launch a counterattack, continuously depleting the Skeleton General's health.

However, relying solely on maneuvers to achieve 100% dodge of enemy attacks is impossible.

After two misses, the skeleton general’s broadsword finally slashed against Zhang Yi's chest protector —

-228!

When attacked, Zhang Yi's angelic shield, with 50 points of shield value, shattered, leaving him taking an additional 178 points of damage. His full health bar was directly reduced by a third!

This skeleton general's damage is surprisingly high! No wonder the four-person team ahead was wiped out.

However, Zhang Yi, relying on the superb positioning accumulated over eight years in his past life and the high attribute bonuses brought by the four pieces of enhanced level 25 equipment, managed to hold on for a dozen rounds at the cost of consuming one bottle of level 3 red potion. With his own power, he took it down!

"Ding~ Congratulations on killing the level 17 elite monster [Skeleton General], gaining 5000 experience and 12 reputation with the Human race!"

"Roar!"

With a roar of defiance, the skeletal general crashed to the ground. “Clang clang!” A shower of coins, enhancement stones, equipment, skill books, and even a gleaming golden treasure chest erupted from its corpse!

Wow, this is huge!

Zhang Yi hadn't even begun to collect his spoils of war when a commotion suddenly erupted from all directions. He looked up and saw that the players who had been watching him take on the skeleton commander just moments ago were now rushing towards him!

It's obvious they all came for the spoils of the Skeleton General. waste of preparing and spending 30 gold coins plus a green skill book to buy the Silvermoon Bow.Meanwhile, the king of glory is full of confidence to take back the Silvermoon Bow from Yiren Qingcheng...
