The Great Thief
chapter-684

After Zugra dropped below half health, his Inferno was finally slain.

Lord Arethoc had a total of six-million health points, so no matter how hard Zugra and his Inferno tried, they couldn't even make a dent. Their only hope was to survive to the end of the hour.

However, after his energy shield had been broken, Zugra didn't have any more skills to defend himself.

After another half an hour, his green blood stained the altar.

Death became the final destination of the wild Boss for this week.

Next week, he would refresh again, and perhaps would have to face the same fate.

System: Under the leadership of Lu Li, Water Fairy, Deep Watersong, Hachi Chan and Cain's Left hand have completed the First Clear for the wild boss, Zugra!

The System Announcement caught a lot of attention like usual. Deep Watersong and Cain's Left Hand were excited, while Water Fairy was more calm about it. As for Hachi Chan and Lu Li, it was hard for them to feel anything – ever since they had entered the game, they had taken First Clear after First Clear.

"Let's kill monsters to level up," Hachi Chan said excitedly. She controlled the main body and seemed very tall, but she actually barely did anything. However, she enjoyed it regardless and still wanted to play a little more.

"There's still twenty-two minutes left. We might be able to," Water Fairy agreed.

"Don't even think about it," Lu Li said as he shook his head then explained, "Lord Arethoc can't deal any damage to demon type monsters and we can't leave this mini map either. If you guys want to keep playing, you'll have to stay around here."

There was no way that the System would leave behind a bug like this for players. In 22 minutes, they could definitely clear out a lot of monsters with the amount of damage that Arethoc could deal. Although the map wasn't big, there were at least a few hundred thousand monsters in it. They would be able to take a huge amount of experience, material and equipment if they could continue using Arethoc's body.

Disband!

Lu Li dropped out from the right-hand position first along with Inferno Power Core, which shattered into pieces when it landed on the floor.

One by one, the others came out too. Only Hachi Chan still controlled Arethoc to wriggle on the ground.

She had finally found such a fun toy, so there was no way she was going to give it up so easily.

Lu Li pointed at the boss and asked, "Who of you guys is a lucky person? Go and loot the boss."

They all stared at each other for a while, until Deep Watersong finally shook his head, "I'm really unlucky too, not to mention that we have an unlucky captain on top. I think I'll pass on this one."

Cain's Left Hand expressed that he didn't want to loot the Boss either.

Although Hachi Chan was lucky, that was only for quests. She wasn't lucky when it came to looting corpses.

In the end, the task landed on Water Fairy.

"If I don't get anything good, don't blame me. You guys are the ones who pushed me to do it," she said reluctantly.

Everyone expressed that they didn't mind, so Water Fairy looted the monster herself. In the past, she had never been the one to loot monsters; there were countless other players who would do the job for her.

She had to admit, looting a Boss was quite exciting indeed.

"Sil... silver equipment." Water Fairy was stunned.

This was a level 45 wild Boss and a First Clear too, and she had looted a level 45 silver equip. Water Fairy was starting to consider if she needed to cut off her hand; this was beyond unlucky.

Lu Li rubbed his nose and dryly coughed, uncertain how he could comfort her.

He knew that Zugra wasn't very generous, but he didn't expect a First Clear to be this bad.

"Maybe the goods are on the way," Water Fairy said, trying to encourage herself.

Then, she pulled out another level 45 Silver equip. The Attributes were even worse than the previous one and it only had two, mediocre special effects.

"Did you guys want to give it a try?"

Everyone looked at Water Fairy and shook their heads; none of them thought that they would be any luckier than she was.

Water Fairy had to bend down again to loot a third time. Based on what she had been picking up, there would probably only be three items. The two items before were rubbish, while the third one might be a useless material or a Skill Book…

"Skill book..."

Water Fairy pulled out the book and was too afraid to look at it, so she shared it to her team members.

"My ****!" For once in his life, Lu Li cursed.

The other also cursed as they saw what the item was; they were all shocked by what Water Fairy had pulled out.

Was it so bad that everyone had to curse?

When Water Fairy opened one eye and scanned the skill book, even she had the urge to curse out loud. Fortunately, her good education and upbringing stopped her. She wasn't any less astonished than anyone else though.

At this point, no one was envious of Ruling Sword's First Clears. Lu Li was too far ahead of everyone else that no one could even be bothered to be jealous of him anymore. What people were jealous of were the members of the core group. First of all was the number one main tank, Azure Sea Breeze. He had participated in every single First Clear and was the walking textbook for PVE defense classes. The second was March Rain, who had started from a nobody and had developed into the best Priest healer. Next in line was the little lucky star, Remnant Dream, then the quest guru, Hachi Chan and the owner of Bloodlust, Sakura Memories.

Finally, there was Sesame Rice Ball.

This Warlock expert who had out from Seventh Heaven wasn't as well-known compared to the others.

However, he had gotten "lucky' and had joined Lu Li's team at the base of their meteoric rise.

Although he wasn't a celebrity player, in the hearts of average players, he wasn't too far away.

In countless battles, Ruling Sword had used his Summoning Ritual skill to display their prowess. If there were another two players with him, he could slowly bring in an army of thousands, regardless of the distance.

What laid before their eyes right now was the skill book for Summoning Ritual.

The proud Water Fairy began to beg; she even grabbed Lu Li's arms and waved them.

"Lu Li, can you give it to me?"

The last time she did something like this was many years ago when she waved her daddy's arms for marshmallows...

"Okay."

Strangely enough, Lu Li nodded and agreed straight away. Usually, he was a gold digger, but he didn't mention a single word about money this time.
