Single-Handedly Fighting a Pack of Wolves!

Su Yu paid no mind to those gambling-addicted fellows who ought to be sent to a rehabilitation center. With the siege countdown for the [Howling Wolf King] standing at precisely 47 minutes and 58 seconds, he could not afford to waste a single second.

Operating at peak hand-speed, Su Yu listed all 46 pieces of equipment on the shelves at a price of 420 each, and then dashed out of the crowd during the final seconds of his [Invisibility] duration.

The effect of [Invisibility] faded, and his figure materialized at the absolute periphery of the crowd.

Yet at that very moment, a violent wave of gasps erupted behind Su Yu.

The surrounding players had clearly noticed the updated stall information. Upon seeing the newly listed goods, their eyes widened in absolute disbelief:

"What the heck! Am I seeing things? How come there are dozens of rare equipment pieces on this stall?!"

"Holy crap! For real! Could this be a fixed-refresh rare equipment shop?"

"Probably not, because the other villages don't have it."

"Whatever, I'm buying first! Level 5 rare gear for only 420 Spiritual Energy Coins, buying it is pure profit!"

"I envy the big shot so much, I only have 10 Spiritual Energy Coins in total right now."

Interspersed among these cries of astonishment was a roar of sheer heartache:

"Dammit! My 50 Spiritual Energy Coins! That's a whole thousand bucks!"

None of this concerned Su Yu, however.

He folded his oversized leather backpack, stuffed it into his system inventory, and sprinted swiftly out of the Mercenary Trading Market.

In the small plaza before the cargo station, after purchasing a [Frost Arrow] scroll for 200 Spiritual Energy Coins, Su Yu bolted toward Wolf King Valley at maximum speed.

[Frost Arrow (Rare)]: Gathers frost elements to fire an elemental ice arrow at the target, dealing magic damage equal to 300% of spell power, and reducing the target's movement speed by 40% for 3 seconds. Casting time 0.5 seconds, mana cost 15 points.

...

By now, Su Yu's running speed was no less than a speeding car on a highway, zooming past like a gust of wind.

Furthermore, he made no effort to conceal his figure.

As he sprinted all the way through, he instantly drew a barrage of watchful gazes.

"Who is that? He's running so fast!"

"Must be an NPC, right? Could there be some hidden quest?"

"Not an NPC, it's a player! Look, the white hat on his head is crafted by a tailor player—the [Hillside Sheepskin Hood]."

"Really a player! How can a player run this fast?"

"I get it, he must be using a speed-hack! Everyone report him!"

"I recorded a video, posting it to the forums right now."

Shortly afterward, the news that "a flying man has miraculously appeared in Novice Village No. 6" spread across the online and offline communities.

Coupled with the "Monster Siege" and the "sudden appearance of massive amounts of rare equipment in the Mercenary Trading Market," Novice Village No. 6 instantly became the focal point of players' attention, its popularity far surpassing the former number one—Novice Village No. 1, Clear Wind Village.

A massive influx of players rushed in from various villages.

For a time, Novice Village No. 6 was crowded with experts, becoming the primary gathering zone for players.

......

The instigator of all this, Su Yu, was oblivious to these developments; by this time, he had already reached the depths of Wolf King Valley.

Facing the imposing Wolf King and its underlings, Su Yu dared not take things lightly in the slightest.

He rested against a large tree for a short while, gradually recovering his stamina.

While recovering his stamina, he also glanced at his own attribute panel.

Because he was wearing a full set of double-movement-speed gear, his spell power had now dropped to 54 points, and the attributes attached to his equipment such as [Spell Penetration] and [Casting Speed] were also gone.

That was fine, however.

Relying on the high damage multiplier of 390% from [Lightning Arrow], he still possessed the confidence to slay the Wolf King!

......

The rest period ended.

Su Yu stepped out from behind the tree and advanced toward the Wolf King slowly yet resolutely.

He drank a bottle of [Junior Wisdom Potion], granting +10 Spell Power (intermediate potions required level 10 to use).

Casually, he cast a [Frost Shield].

Next, he used the scroll to summon a [Rock Elemental], commanding the [Rock Elemental] to follow closely behind him.

Meanwhile, on the Wolf King's side.

The wolf pack within the valley had already formed a phalanx under the discipline of the [Elite Wolf King Guards].

The [Howling Wolf King] held its head high, pacing proudly at the very front of the formation to inspect its troops.

Seeing Su Yu approach single-handedly and elementally unbothered, a glint of anthropomorphic confusion instantly flashed within its eyes.

Could this foolish human possibly fail to see its wolf army?

Was he truly not afraid of dying right here?

Su Yu, however, walked onward entirely unconcerned.

Upon entering the 40-meter spell range, he raised his hand and hurled a [Lightning Arrow].

Crack!

-147!

The [Lightning Arrow] struck the Wolf King's thick spine with pinpoint accuracy, leaving a small, charred mark behind.

"The damage is decent. It seems the Wolf King's defense isn't all that high either," Su Yu muttered silently to himself.

Awooooo—!

The Wolf King flew into a rage!

This tiny human before its eyes actually dared to attack it! Dared to attack it! Dared to attack it! Attack it!

The Wolf King's figure vanished from the spot instantly, charging toward Su Yu at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

The wolf pack erupted in fury as well!

How dare he NTR right before their eyes... no, wait, how dare he harm their leader right before their eyes! They had to rip out his throat and tear apart his flesh to appease the hatred burning in their hearts!

Hundreds of [Howling Wolves], led by over a dozen [Elite Wolf King Guards], closed in on Su Yu in a menacing pincer movement, attempting to cut off his retreat.

In an instant, a hundred wolves charged wildly.

The spectacle looked unimaginably magnificent!

......

The skill utilized by the Wolf King was called [Pounce], akin to a warrior's [Charge], allowing it to close the distance to the enemy within an extremely brief timeframe.

Su Yu remained extremely calm.

Calculating the exact moment the Wolf King would arrive, he executed a [Blink].

Swish!

Su Yu vanished from his spot, and the Wolf King lunged at empty air.

Upon steadying his footing, he immediately unleashed a [Frost Arrow] at the Wolf King, while simultaneously tossing out the [Lesser Fireball] scroll held in his left hand.

-107!

-113!

The twin spells of ice and fire struck the Wolf King's forehead with pinpoint precision—ice and fire intertwined, the ultimate indulgence!

Clearly, the Wolf King did not appreciate this form of indulgence.

Having missed its initial strike, it let out a howl in place, its size expanding by 30% as it charged toward Su Yu, who was now 20 meters away.

The slowing effect of the [Frost Arrow] somewhat hindered the Wolf King's speed.

However, the [Howling Wolf King] was, after all, a rare boss with considerable resistance to abnormal statuses; the [Frost Arrow] could only inflict a 20% slowdown effect on it, and the duration dropped from 4 seconds to under 3 seconds.

Yet, after observing the Wolf King's current speed, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Wolf King, slowed by the [Frost Arrow], was still faster than him, it was only faster by a tiny margin. Relying on the experience he had accumulated in his past life, he could entirely kite and toy the Wolf King to death!

Su Yu turned swiftly, bolting toward the cliffside with the Wolf King in hot pursuit.

Simultaneously, while running, he issued his final command to the [Rock Elemental]—stall the wolf pack!

The steadfast [Rock Elemental] took heavy, deliberate steps, marching toward the wolf pack with a tragic air of heroism.

Upon drawing close to the pack, the [Rock Elemental] released [Mass Taunt], targeting all wild wolves within range!

Affected by the mass taunt, the wolves running at the very front abruptly halted and launched their attacks against the [Rock Elemental].

The solitary [Rock Elemental] managed to endure for merely 5 seconds amidst the wolf pack before shattering into a pile of rubble on the ground.

Nonetheless, the objective had been achieved, and Su Yu had already fled into the distance with the Wolf King.
