Looking around, the streets and alleys of the Undead City were filled with skeletal monsters, each dragging a rusty greatsword or wielding a skeletal longbow, devoid of any flesh and blood.

The skeletons in this area were all between levels 17 and 18, while the players battling them were mostly level 14. The level gap was too large, making it extremely difficult for these players to fight even in groups of three or four. White lights kept flashing around, and Zhang Yi even witnessed a team of four players being wiped out by a newly respawned level 17 Elite Skeleton Warrior!

When that team was annihilated, the Elite Skeleton Warrior still had two-thirds of its health, but none of the other players dared to step forward. After all, they had just seen how that four-player team sacrificed their lives to barely chip away a third of the Elite Skeleton Warrior's health.

Having just arrived in this high-level area, Zhang Yi set his sights on the "roaring" and extremely arrogant Elite Skeleton Warrior. "Wow, starting off with an elite right away?"

"Alright, let's do this."

With that, while the surrounding players only dared to watch, Zhang Yi raised his Flame Staff and approached the swaggering [Skeleton General].

At this moment, the surrounding players began to chatter.

"A level 13 Beastmaster wants to solo a level 17 Elite Skeleton? Talk about a fearless rookie!"

"Haha, he's just heading to his death. Without any teammates, and being a low-level Beastmaster with poor attributes, how many hits do you think he can take from the Skeleton General?"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

"Hits? Didn't you see that team that got wiped out? They were all level 14, fully equipped Warriors and Knights as front-line classes. Even they couldn't withstand two or three attacks from the Skeleton General. This guy? One hit, and he's done for!"

No one had any faith in Zhang Yi. Indeed, if Zhang Yi were a bystander and saw a level 13 Beastmaster with a one-star staff and no hat trying to solo a level 17 elite monster, he'd think the person was out of their mind.

At this moment, Zhang Yi, already within the 50-meter effective attack range of the Skeleton General, stopped, raised his staff, and quickly cast a [Fireball Spell] at the roaring Skeleton General wielding a large machete.

Boom!

The scorching fireball hit the Skeleton General accurately, and the next moment, a blood-red damage number appeared above its head—

-218!

This damage exceeding 200 points shocked the surrounding players who were watching the show. After all, dealing such damage from a level 13 Beastmaster, and on an elite monster four levels higher, was truly unbelievable.

Despite this, the crowd still didn't believe in Zhang Yi. Even with high damage, he couldn't possibly be a match for the Skeleton General alone.

The only one who thought otherwise was Zhang Yi himself.

Having slain nine god-level Dragon Emperors, a mere level 17 elite monster was nothing to Zhang Yi.

Boom!

Another basic attack released a purple magic orb, hitting the Skeleton General for 150 damage!

The initial Fireball Spell had triggered the Flame Staff's Burning talent, causing the Skeleton General to suffer 38 points of burning damage per second.

Roar!

The attacked Skeleton General let out a few roars, then charged at Zhang Yi with its machete!

"Here it comes, everyone get ready to watch that guy get one-shotted!"

"That staff of his seems to be a rare item. Such high damage and burning effect must come from it. When he gets killed and drops the staff, whoever grabs it first gets it!"

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Zhang Yi kept swinging his staff, casting [Chain Lightning] followed by several basic attack orbs, dealing a series of damage to the Skeleton General—

-270! (Chain Lightning single-target damage, Lucky Strike)

-150!

-300 Critical Hit!

-225 Lucky Strike!

-38 Burning...

-38 Burning...

...

A series of high damage numbers appeared, and by the time the Skeleton General finally approached Zhang Yi from 40-50 meters away, its health bar had already dropped from two-thirds to just one-third!

"Holy crap! This is insane!" gasped the surrounding players.

Zhang Yi seized the moment, dodging to the right just as the Skeleton General launched a Charge Slash, narrowly avoiding it—

MISS!

He retaliated with another Fireball Spell, then dodged the Skeleton General's blade attack again with precise positioning!

This scene astonished the surrounding players once more.

"This guy is actually a skilled player!"

For a magic class to dodge enemy attacks through skillful maneuvers was no easy feat. With 17 Agility, Zhang Yi seemed almost divinely aided.

Taking advantage of every opportunity to dodge the Skeleton General's attacks, Zhang Yi counterattacked to continuously deplete its health.

However, achieving 100% evasion through skill alone was impossible.

After two misses, the Skeleton General's machete finally struck Zhang Yi's Guardian Armor—

-228!

The attack triggered the Angel's Shield, which had 50 shield points, breaking it and dealing an additional 178 damage to Zhang Yi, reducing his full health bar by a third!

The Skeleton General's damage was indeed high! No wonder the previous team was wiped out.

But Zhang Yi, relying on his eight years of accumulated skillful positioning and the high attribute bonuses from his four pieces of level 25 enhanced god-tier equipment, managed to take it down after a dozen rounds, using only one bottle of level 3 Health Potion!

"Ding~ Congratulations on killing the level 17 elite monster [Skeleton General], EXP 5000, Human Reputation 12!"

"Roar!"

With an unwilling roar, the Skeleton General collapsed, dropping a pile of coins, enhancement stones, equipment, and skill books, along with a golden treasure chest!

A huge drop this time!

Before Zhang Yi could start collecting his loot, a commotion erupted around him. Looking up, he saw the players who had been watching him solo the Skeleton General now rushing towards him from all directions!

Clearly, they were all after the Skeleton General's loot.
