CHAPTER 17: CHAPTER 17: THE CELESTIAL FLAME DRAGON BREATH RETURNS! LIN YI, LIKE A GOD!

Lin Yi had no idea that his actions, this soaring maneuver of his, had shocked so many people in Canglan City.

He quickly soared to the skies above Canglan City, where the view was expansive.

The entire Canglan City lay beneath him, completely visible.

The appearance of the surrounding training areas was also clearly discernible.

Lin Yi immediately noticed, several hundred kilometers south of Canglan City,

a barren area exuding a dark aura.

That must be the Land of Deathly Silence.

Lin Yi manipulated the wind wings, starting to fly full speed towards the Land of Deathly Silence.

...

At the same time.

Within the Land of Deathly Silence,

At this moment, it was not silent.

A large number of professionals, like sharks smelling blood, were converging towards the central area.

That was the respawn point of this world BOSS, the Death Knight.

However, they were met with heavy resistance.

"The Thunder Guild has reserved the area, please stay away from those not involved!"

"Ahead is the restricted area of the Star Sea Guild, please leave immediately!"

Professionals in uniforms of various guilds blocked any freelancers daring to approach the central area, not allowing them to get close at all.

"Damn, is the world BOSS owned by your guild?!"

"Yeah, why can’t we go in?!"

The guild members responsible for blocking wore a grim smile.

"That’s right, it’s opened by our Thunder Guild. Do you dare to try and break in?"

Faced with such unreasonable behavior,

countless professionals were angered but dared not speak out.

Thunder and Star Sea were the two major guilds in Canglan City.

These two guilds frequently demarcated areas in popular training zones,

excluding other professionals from leveling up.

Some have tried to resist,

but the leaders of both guilds were high-level professionals, very strong, with numerous elite subordinates.

Therefore, this situation had continued up to now.

At this critical time for the Death Knight’s respawn, both guilds naturally planned to monopolize all experience and loot.

Boom!

Boom!

Suddenly, there were countless sounds of skill collision from the center of the perimeter.

Everyone knew.

The Death Knight Rivendell had respawned!

The elites of Thunder Guild and Star Sea Guild had already started attacking the BOSS.

However, something seemed different this time.

Because the sounds of skill collisions quickly subsided.

Then, a black plague with a strong aura of death began to spread across the entire Land of Deathly Silence.

Instantly, all the guild members guarding the perimeter, preventing other professionals from entering, were shocked.

They received calls for help from their guild members on the guild channel!

"Something’s wrong, the leader is asking for backup, let’s go quickly!"

In an instant, both guilds raced towards the center of the Land of Deathly Silence.

The freelancers they had driven out of the perimeter were overjoyed and followed them!

The main difference between a world BOSS and a dungeon BOSS lies in the distribution of rewards based on contribution.

The more damage you contribute in slaying the world BOSS, the more skill points and experience you get.

Loot is determined by who delivers the final blow.

The crowd surged towards the center of the Land of Deathly Silence.

The sight before them made everyone feel as if a hand named Death was gripping their throats, rendering them speechless!

Numerous professionals in Star Sea and Thunder Guild uniforms lay in escape poses, scattered on the plague-ridden ground.

Their weapons broken, faces twisted in agony, they died with grievances unresolved.

It was clear they had suffered unimaginable torment before death.

"Guild leader!"

"Leader!!"

The guild members guarding the perimeter even saw their own leaders among the corpses!

This shocked them beyond belief!

It was merely a level 60 world BOSS!

They had killed it dozens of times.

How could this happen?!

A wipeout?!

Before they could think further.

Next, the heavy sound of hooves trampling the ground came.

They saw the culprit responsible for this scene.

A heavily armored knight in pure black armor, wielding a giant sword four or five meters long, riding on a skeleton warhorse.

The eye sockets of both the horse and knight were empty, flickering with ghostly blue flames.

The Death Knight Rivendell had grown ten times larger than normal.

Everywhere he passed was tainted with black plague water.

"Run!!"

"He, he seems to have transformed!"

Everyone felt a tremble from their souls!

Rumors stated that both world and dungeon BOSSes could rarely be influenced by abyssal powers, entering a transformed state.

In this state, the BOSS’s level and skills receive terrifying enhancements.

Many BOSSes originally only level 30 or 40 could have their levels break past 200!

This often led to team or even guild wipes!

Escape!

Run fast!

This was the only thought in everyone’s mind.

At this moment, the roles of hunter and prey swapped.

The Death Knight that had been slain countless times under their swords and Magic,

rose from the grave.

The Death Knight Rivendell pulled on the warhorse reins.

Next, the skeleton warhorse neighed, hooves pounding, followed by an outburst of necromantic Magic.

The dry dirt beneath countless people was instantly submerged in endless black plague water.

Within the black water, countless skeletal hands clasped the ankles of all fleeing professionals.

They were trapped in the bog of death, unable to move an inch!

As the black water rippled out,

a scene that made their scalps go numb appeared.

The bodies that lay on the ground,

had now been infused with necromantic power.

They stood up once more,

picking up their broken swords, chanting familiar Magic spells.

But this time, they fought for the Death Knight.

A black mist shrouded the sky.

The sky poured down a dark plague-like acid rain, laden with the essence of death.

Everyone was plunged into despair!

They wailed, they screamed.

Yet no sound came out.

The rain curtain obscured everything, returning the Land of Deathly Silence to its stillness.

"Roar——!!!"

Just as everyone was about to be dragged into the black water to drown utterly,

they suddenly heard a deafening dragon roar in their ears.

In the next moment, an immense heat drove away the chill of death completely.

The black mist and rain curtain in the sky ceased abruptly.

In the next second, bright orange flames tore through the black mist thoroughly!

Dragon!

A terrifying giant dragon, blazing with endless heat, appeared in the sky!

Its dragon breath spewed like a waterfall!

The Death Knight Rivendell raised his head.

In his ghostfire-like pupils, reflected in the sky, was the silhouette of a figure veiled against the endless tempest behind the celestial flame dragon!
