Zhang Yue’s gaze made Wolf Fang, who was always arrogant, quite displeased.
Pointing at Zhang Yue, he shouted, “What, are you trying to play the hero and save the damsel?”
At this moment, Li Mo turned her head in the direction Wolf Fang was pointing.
Seeing the person standing behind her was indeed Zhang Yue, who had just bought her wings in Sky City, she was a bit surprised!
She even felt a little panicked, thinking: Could he be regretting spending so much money on my wings and is now chasing me to return them?
But the money had already been transferred to someone else; she had no money to refund…
Zhang Yue glanced at the arrogant Wolf Fang and said, “Return every penny to her.”
Wolf Fang looked Zhang Yue up and down, sneering, “Who do you think you are? Daring to challenge me, are you tired of living?”
“I took the money, what’s it to you?”
Apparently, no one present recognized Zhang Yue.
They assumed Zhang Yue was just a newcomer to the Tenth World, and the group of professionals under Wolf Fang, who looked like a bunch of hooligans, mocked Zhang Yue coldly.
“A young calf unafraid of the tiger, kid, do you know who we are? The local tyrants of the Tenth World, and you dare to provoke us?”
“Want to play the hero? You should weigh your own worth first. Just you, a mere novice Beast Tamer, are you worthy?”
Wolf Fang pointed at Zhang Yue, shouting, “I’ll give you three seconds to scram! Or else…”
Whoosh!
Before Wolf Fang could finish his sentence, a shadow suddenly rushed in from the side at lightning speed, sweeping past Wolf Fang.
A high crit damage number appeared, instantly emptying the full health bar above his head.
Wolf Fang stood there, eyes wide open.
The next second, with a “thud,” he knelt to the ground, his whole body turning into a beam of white light and disappearing.
The sudden appearance of the Shadow Predator made it clear that the one who killed Wolf Fang was the pet summoned by Zhang Yue!
“This bastard! How dare he ambush and kill Boss Wolf Fang!”
“Damn it, brothers, grab your weapons!”
Just as Wolf Fang’s subordinates were about to draw their swords and prepare to retaliate against Zhang Yue to avenge their boss, they suddenly saw Zhang Yue’s ID forcibly displayed in red above his head—lv60 Necromancer·Zero.
Instantly, everyone was shocked.
“Holy crap! Zero???”
“The… the national server’s newly crowned strongest player…”
Realizing Zhang Yue’s identity, everyone instantly chickened out.
“I admit, I spoke a bit too loudly just now, I’m sorry, I was wrong!”
“Big brother, please don’t hold it against us…”
“You’ve already beaten our boss, you can’t beat us too!”
“Alright,” Zhang Yue said, “Return the money your boss just robbed from her.”
As everyone hesitated.
Roar—
The massive body of the Twenty-Four Winged Apocalyptic Black Dragon descended from the sky, its deafening roar scaring the group into opening their Feixin payment codes, scrambling to gather a hundred thousand yuan for Li Mo.
Then, the group scurried away in disgrace.
Even the top-tier Empire Guild of the Dragon Kingdom had to show respect to someone like Zhang Yue; how could this group of small-time thugs dare to provoke him?
At this moment, the Priest girl Li Mo repeatedly thanked Zhang Yue, “Thank you, thank you!”
But then, she seemed a bit lost, as if she didn’t know what to do next.
“Why did you give them money?” Zhang Yue asked.
Li Mo, somewhat dejected, said, “I lost a very important ring in the [Insect Nest], I’m too weak to deal with the swarms inside, so I had to save up money desperately because the people from the [War Wolf] Guild said that if I could gather a hundred thousand yuan, they would help me retrieve the ring.”
War Wolf, obviously referring to the guild of those thugs just now.
In her words, Li Mo squatted down, unable to hold back her tears, “It’s the only keepsake my great-grandmother left me before she passed away, she was the person who loved me most in this world, what should I do now that I’ve lost the ring she left me…”
Zhang Yue looked at Li Mo and said, “I’ll help you.”
Li Mo looked up, somewhat incredulous at Zhang Yue.
She suddenly remembered: the person before her was the newly crowned strongest player in the national server!
His strength was enough to single-handedly challenge the entire Empire Guild!
His words, surely he could defeat the swarm and help her find the ring!
So, Li Mo stood up and quickly opened the Feixin payment interface, saying to Zhang Yue, “Please help me, I’ll give you all my money!”
“I’ll help you,” Zhang Yue said something that left Li Mo a bit puzzled, “You don’t need to pay.”
Just as Li Mo was about to say something in surprise.
She heard Zhang Yue say, “Lead the way.”
Li Mo didn’t say much more and quickly nodded, “Okay!”
Then, Li Mo flapped her wings, leading Zhang Yue in the direction of the rising sun.
On the way, they passed an area densely populated with parasites.
Zhang Yue raised his staff.
S-rank Hell Judgment + S-rank Necromancer Storm + SS-rank Thundercloud Storm.
Three AOE skills were unleashed on the dense parasites below.
Accompanied by a blast of Apocalyptic Dragon Flame from the Apocalyptic Black Dragon.
Boom boom boom boom!
Roar—
The area of parasites was instantly charred to a crisp.
The next second, Zhang Yue’s ID above his head turned from red back to white…
This scene left Li Mo utterly dumbfounded.
She had once had a Red Name herself, and it took her over an hour to kill enough monsters to clear it.
But now, Zhang Yue did it in just one second…
Just as Li Mo was overwhelmed with shock, she suddenly heard Zhang Yue ask, “They all say you’re a fraud, is that true?”
Li Mo bit her lip and said, “There was a guy who pursued me, he gave me some expensive gifts, and I sold them for cash…”
“I know it was wrong, but I told him that once I made enough money, I would repay him with interest. I need money now to ask the War Wolf Guild to help me find the ring, but he’s been telling everyone I cheated him out of his feelings and his money…”
Hearing this, Zhang Yue said with relief, “Your great-grandmother didn’t love you in vain.”
Li Mo, saddened, said, “I just want to keep the only keepsake my great-grandmother left me safe.”
Soon, the two arrived at their destination.
They came to the foot of a massive volcano.
Li Mo pointed towards the crater and said, “I was just flying over there when I accidentally dropped the ring…”
Zhang Yue said, “Stay here and don’t move.”
With that, Zhang Yue approached the volcano alone.
Around them, there were many solo professionals hunting parasites and collecting energy crystals.
Seeing Zhang Yue approaching the volcano, they couldn’t help but comment:
“Tsk, another one trying to prove themselves!”
“If you don’t have the strength, you don’t have it, why risk your life to prove it?”
“This guy must be new to the Tenth World, doesn’t he know that the Insect Nest harbors a level one Beast Tide? Even legends like Ice Emperor, Moonmark, and Seraph had to team up to barely withstand the Beast Tide here when they were young, and this kid dares to go alone?”
“Truly ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth! This kid won’t even know how he died!”
As Zhang Yue approached the volcano.
Boom!
A loud noise erupted.
From within the volcano, countless parasites spewed forth like a torrential rain, pouring down towards Zhang Yue at the foot of the mountain…
