技能：【雷电术】lv2（149/1000）：吟唱2.5s后施放一道雷电在目标身上，技能伤害为魔法基础伤害的180%！蓝耗：25！CD：2.5s！

Jiang Yan added all 12 free attribute points gained from the upgrade to his Spirit stat.

Moreover, his Lightning Bolt spell has finally reached level 2, increasing the skill damage to 180% and reducing the cooldown by 0.5 seconds!

At this moment, Jiang Yan's magic attack has reached 65 points, and a single lightning spell can deal 247 damage (65 * 380% skill damage bonus)!

The critical hit damage is 988 (247 * 400% critical hit damage bonus)!

He was just a hair's breadth away from instantly killing the tiger with a critical hit!

The only thing that made Jiang Yan feel desperate was the ridiculously low drop rate!

In two hours, not a single piece of equipment dropped, but a total of 43 silver coins did drop!

Besides that, there was a backpack full of tiger bones and tiger skins.

It's time to go back.

Jiang Yan was about to empty his backpack when he turned around and heard a deafening tiger roar coming from not far away.

-100!

A blinding damage number appeared above Jiang Yan's head.

"Holy crap, a boss has appeared!!"

Jiang Yan was both surprised and delighted. He had been killing tigers for more than two hours, and finally the BOSS appeared!

but……

Jiang Yan looked at his health bar; it was only a little over a third left.

He hasn't even seen the BOSS yet!

Jiang Yan's life points and mana points are shared, so he is naturally unwilling to leave like this. Even if he dies, he wants to see the BOSS one last time before he dies!

Jiang Yan followed the sound of the tiger's roar and walked more than a hundred meters before he saw a huge mutated tiger king that was five meters long and two meters tall!

Mutant Tiger King (Bronze BOSS): Possesses considerable dual resistances!

Level: Lv8

Life: 10000

Skills: Tiger's Roar (powerfully intimidates the target, reducing their movement speed), Bite (accelerates the impact, dealing massive damage and causing continuous bleeding to the target), Fury (after accumulating a certain amount of rage, the White Tiger actively reduces its defense by 50% in exchange for a 50% speed and attack bonus).

After reading the information about the mutated tiger king, Jiang Yan frowned.

With ten times the health of a tiger, dual resistances, and three skills, one of which doubles speed and attack, this bronze boss's attributes are a bit abnormal!

At this stage, is there really any player who can beat it?

After much thought, Jiang Yan concluded that the only way to defeat the mutated tiger king was through a group attack!

Or, you could change into a pure magic bronze outfit.

Jiang Yan currently only has a beginner's wooden stick as his magic-enhancing equipment. If he could get a pure magic set like that lucky guy, it would greatly enhance his critical strike damage!

"As for mage equipment..." Jiang Yan remembered that beta testers had spread the word that the northern mining area was a place where mage equipment was dropped.

"It's time to head to the mines!"

Jiang Yan strode toward the mutated tiger king.

He originally intended to walk back, but now that a BOSS has appeared, in order to buy as much time as possible, it would be faster to die and go back, saving at least an hour and a half, and also testing the gap between the two sides!

"Roar!!" The mutated tiger king was very alert. As soon as Jiang Yancai approached, it roared angrily.

Another -100 damage number appeared above Jiang Yan's head!

Jiang Yan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began chanting a lightning spell.

boom!!

Purple lightning descended from the sky and struck the mutated tiger king heavily on the forehead.

-177

A pale red damage indicator appeared above the mutated tiger king's head.

Jiang Yan's pupils constricted slightly.

His lightning spell skill damage is 247, but it only dealt 177 damage, which means that the mutated tiger king's magic resistance is 80!

With this level of magic resistance, even if Jiang Yan can land a critical hit, he will only deal 708 damage (177 * 400% critical hit damage bonus)!

Without magic equipment, he absolutely cannot damage this bronze boss!

"Roar!!" The mutated tiger king roared and charged at Jiang Yan with lightning speed. Jiang Yan had only taken two steps to the side when the mutated tiger king was already close, its huge tiger claws followed by bites.

-300

-300

-450

Jiang Yan instantly turned into a white light and collapsed to the ground!

[Ding! Player has been killed by the Mutant Tiger King, losing experience points for the current level!]

At the same time, two tiger skins were also found in Jiang Yan's backpack.

"Roar!!" The mutated tiger king roared even more furiously upon seeing the tiger skin, but unfortunately, there was no one around!

Beginner Village Square.

When Jiang Yan emerged from the respawn point, it was no longer as crowded as before, but every few seconds, a dozen or so beams of light would appear, bringing new players.

Jiang Yan checked his backpack and, confirming that only two tiger skins had been found, breathed a sigh of relief. He then took off the tiger cloak and put it in his backpack to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

Then, he quickly crossed the square and arrived at the blacksmith's shop.

The crowd outside the blacksmith shop was no longer as overwhelming as before. Jiang Yan patiently waited in line for ten minutes before finally entering the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop owner was a middle-aged man with dark skin. He stood behind the counter and smiled at him, saying, "Jiang Taigong, welcome! Feel free to look around and see what you'd like to buy. Today is our anniversary sale, so I can give you a 95% discount."

Jiang Yan looked at the blacksmith shop owner, who had a white exclamation mark above his head.

After staring at it, a line of text appeared above the exclamation mark: The tragedy of middle-aged men: the blacksmith shop owner forges day and night, his body looks strong, but in fact he is suffering serious losses and is urgently buying aphrodisiacs.

Aphrodisiac?

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he took out a tiger bone from his backpack.

"This is..." The blacksmith's eyes lit up when he saw the tiger bone.

"Boss, do you buy tiger bones?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile.

"Of course, of course!" The blacksmith's face flushed. "I'll take as many as you have!!"

"What can you offer in return? I'm not short of gold coins." Jiang Yan was ready to take advantage of him.

"I can teach you mining for free!" the blacksmith said. "Besides, I can also give you my most prized possession!"

The blacksmith solemnly took out a 1.5-meter-long blue metal staff.

Jiang Yan looked over.

【Bronze Staff】(Bronze): Magic Attack +8! Required for: Mage, Priest!

It's a rare gem!

Jiang Yan was overjoyed. Bronze equipment adds between 5 and 9 to the attributes, and this bronze staff adds 8 points of magic attack, which is close to the maximum value!

"Deal!!" Jiang Yansheng was afraid the blacksmith shop owner would change his mind.

"Hehe, don't rush." ​​The blacksmith shop owner said slowly, "Jiang Taigong, as you can see, this bronze staff is top-quality; one tiger bone isn't enough."

"Of course," Jiang Yan said with a smile. "How many do you want?"

"Twenty pieces!!" the blacksmith shop owner said.

[Ding~ The blacksmith has issued you a quest: Collect twenty tiger bones. Quest rewards: Mining Skill, Bronze Staff! Quest failure penalty: None!]

[Accept/Decide?]

Hey!

Didn't you just deliver yourself to my doorstep?

Jiang Yan decisively clicked "Yes!"
