"What's the situation?"
When Fangzheng arrived, the first thing he saw was the anxious Argo and a few battered and exhausted players.
"You're finally here, Fangzheng."
Seeing Fangzheng appear, Argo heaved a sigh of relief.
"The situation isn't looking good. Let him explain it to you."
While speaking, Argo gestured to a player beside her. Then, Fangzheng saw that player walking over. From his appearance, he should be a young man around 26 or 27 years old. He had short hair and looked as though he hadn't slept for many days. When he saw Fangzheng, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Hello, I'm Horotikichi from the Red Knights. The situation is like this. Our Red Knights agreed to work with the Dark Nebula today to explore the abandoned Steel City dungeon on the 25th floor. The journey was smooth, but when we finished the dungeon and were about to leave, an elite monster suddenly appeared … "
"Elite monster? Is it a world BOSS? "
"Yes!"
The young man, whose name was Hori Tikichi, looked like a corporate animal, nodded.
"At first, we were very surprised. We thought it was the aftermath of some dungeon, but the strength of that world BOSS was far beyond our expectations! It was more than 20 levels higher than us! Not only that, but with the appearance of that BOSS, the entire area's communication was cut off, and we couldn't use the teleportation crystal to return to the city! "
"Couldn't use the teleportation crystal and couldn't communicate?"
Hearing until here, Fangzheng's expression sank slightly. He secretly took note of this characteristic.
"Yes, not only us, but the entire Steel City was sealed off. Apart from us, there were also some players who were collecting materials and carrying out quests. There were hundreds of them. The President has already gathered all of them together in a relatively safe place. "
Horotikichi lowered his head as he spoke.
"Because that monster blocked our only way, we couldn't escape at all. In the end, the leader took the initiative to lure the monster's attack power, giving us the opportunity to rush out. But we didn't expect that monster to be so smart. It deliberately lured us into a trap. Except for me and Captain Higan Shigue, no one else could escape. "
"That bastard monster is too powerful."
At this time, another man with a sturdy body and a head of red hair, carrying a giant axe, walked over with large strides and said.
"Its attacks are basically all AoE attacks, and its body is very large. Even if it doesn't hit us directly, the aftermath can still take away more than half of our HP. Several of my men didn't even have time to flee to safety before they were … "
After saying so, the red-haired player brandished the greataxe in his hand.
"Damn it!!"
"Black Snow Charmer and Ang wanted to contact you, but they didn't have your friend list, so they came to me."
As an information broker, Argo naturally filled in the rest and told Fangzheng why he came to him for help.
"Right now, only your Dark Moon Sword has a solution. If even you can't …"
Argo didn't continue, but as she said, Fangzheng's Dark Moon Sword had basically killed two-thirds of the Lord-class Bosses so far, and he was the unshakable number one Clearers in the game. If even Fangzheng couldn't do anything, then the others wouldn't be able to either.
"Let me see the situation first."
Hearing until here, Fangzheng thought for a moment, then looked at the players again.
"How big is that BOSS?"
"About four to five meters tall … I can't tell, but it looks like a centaur made of steel. Its weapons are a shield and a spear."
"I understand."
Hearing until here, Fangzheng nodded and made a hand gesture.
"Ying Lili, go investigate the target and see the situation. Remember, don't rush in recklessly. Just use your skills to draw it out of the safe range. If it's necessary, use your new weapon … You've already practiced it, right? "
"Of course."
Facing Fangzheng's question, Ying Lili nodded with a proud smile.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Nothing will go wrong!"
After saying this, Ying Lili turned around and left quickly. Fangzheng turned to Argo and the two players and said.
"Now, I want you to tell me the BOSS's attack pattern and frequency. Tell me everything you know. Also, I suggest you contact the people in the Guilds and ask them to send some people to seal off the entrance to prevent other players from entering by mistake."
Saying until here, Fangzheng looked at Argo.
"Argo, you have the most information. Go and inform the others that a world BOSS has spawned in 25 Steel City. Tell them not to approach for the time being. I believe that they know what to do. "
If this was an ordinary online game, the big Guilds would have been fighting over the BOSS. But the problem was that this was a death game. In a death game, even if the rewards of killing a world BOSS were high, it wasn't worth it to exchange one's life for it.
"Okay."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's order, Argo nodded and immediately began to contact the people on his side. At this moment, Fangzheng turned around and began to carefully question the two players who survived the disaster and record their information. Of course, in the midst of fleeing for their lives, perhaps they didn't have enough information. But for Fangzheng, this was enough.
[I've spread the news. Those people know what to do.]
While Fangzheng was recording the information, a message from Argo popped up before his eyes.
[But come to think of it, since we've already informed the others that a world BOSS has spawned, there's no need for them to send more people, right?]
[Of course there is.]
Fangzheng quickly replied with a message.
[It will be troublesome if someone enters by mistake. Besides …]
Fangzheng said until here, pausing for a moment.
[Sealing off the entrance isn't only to prevent others from entering, but also to prevent others from exiting.]
[Wait, what you mean is that this world BOSS's appearance is due to someone's mischief?]
Looking at Fangzheng's reply, Argo widened her eyes in astonishment. Then, she quickly typed another line of questions. And this time, Fangzheng pondered for a moment and nodded to her subtly.
In fact, after hearing the whole story, Fangzheng felt that this world BOSS's appearance was too much of a coincidence. And more importantly, before the world BOSS spawned, no one was aware of it and everyone was trapped inside. If one were to say that it was a coincidence, the timing and location were too perfect.
Besides, in online games, it wasn't rare to use such a method to eliminate one's opponents …
Fangzheng had a feeling that behind this world BOSS's appearance, there might be players stirring up trouble.
If that was the case, then the following events would become even more interesting.
