From a distance, Ye Yun led a giant ant, fleeing for his life. A hundred meters behind him, thousands of lizards surged forward like a tide, their ranks stretching for a hundred meters.
"Xiao Hei, these guys are way more productive than you. Look at this! This is what you call a social creature. Look at you!" Ye Yun was quite disdainful of Xiao Hei's identity and species.
Life is endless, and battle is constant. Huge profits, massive experience! Ye Yun's blood boiled with excitement. He repeatedly improved his cunning maneuvers, killing countless monsters without even realizing how many times he'd repositioned.
Finally, at a certain moment, Ye Yun was ensnared by a "Yellow Dragon Entanglement" and leveled up. Seeing the remaining scattered lizards, Ye Yun collapsed onto the ground. Damn it, he was done. His legs were numb.
Level 10 to Level 11 required 8 million experience points. This meant Ye Yun had leveled up in this godforsaken place by killing these bipedal lizards. While the experience wasn't low, the sheer quantity of monsters was the main factor.
"System prompt: Player has reached level 11. Life Beast: Black Ant has activated skill—Reflection."
"You killed my myriad demons! How dare you! How dare you!"
Before Ye Yun could react to Xiao Hei's activated skill, a hoarse voice echoed in his ears again...
"System prompt: Due to the player's excessive slaughter, the War General of the Lost Land—Moon Shadow has become enraged! Moon Shadow will arrive in 5 minutes. Please prepare yourself."
The system's prompt made Ye Yun want to laugh and cry at the same time. This damn quest truly allowed no rest. Ye Yun, dragging his numb legs, began to clean up the battlefield.
Xiao Hei would handle the remaining stragglers. He just needed to sort out the drops, but with only 5 minutes, he was bound to miss a lot of items.
Looking at the scattered loot within a thousand-meter radius, Ye Yun felt a pang of heartache. How much money was being swallowed by the heavens? This was truly a scam.
In his previous life, someone had said that in such situations, it was better not to pick up the loot. Doing so would result in greater rewards from the subsequent bosses, even several times the value of all the previous items. Later, that person was condemned by millions of people across the internet, his reputation in ruins.
Thinking of this, a flicker of unease crossed Ye Yun's face. Back then, during a large-scale dungeon raid, he had tricked his teammates into letting him pick up more items. To increase his credibility, he had even posted on the forum.
Well, it was free, otherwise, the heavens would have deleted it.
"It was you! You killed nearly ten thousand of my army! State your name!" A massive figure suddenly emerged from the ground and stood before Ye Yun, his face contorted with rage!
The newcomer had a silver horn on his head and two long tendrils growing from his ears. His lizard-like head, however, bore a more human-like resemblance. His silver scale armor, combined with his two-and-a-half-meter height, made him appear exceptionally strong and imposing! Da Feng Novel Network

Remark: Commander of the Lizard Demons of the Lost Land, the foremost general under Lord Lou Yao! Powerful and formidable!
The stats of this "God of Wealth" were simply over the top. Although he only had three skills, the damage was outrageously high. Moreover, each skill was exceptionally brutal, especially the first one, which made Ye Yun intensely envious and jealous.
This was a typical boss with high attack, high defense, and high health, showing no significant weaknesses except for physical defense. Unfortunately, he had encountered Ye Yun, who had Xiao Hei.
"An Emperor-class boss. I should be making tens of millions again!" Ye Yun kicked Xiao Hei, who was now at full health and circling his feet, towards the boss!
"You dare!" Moon Shadow roared, slashing down with his blade as he saw the black ant.

"What the hell! Is there any justice in this world? He can attack twice in the time it takes my Xiao Hei to attack him once? But what's with this three-digit damage to Moon Shadow? Xiao Hei's reflection?"
Moon Shadow's two attacks had directly depleted nearly 6000 of Xiao Hei's health, while Xiao Hei had barely managed to bite him once, dealing 4405 damage!
He thought Xiao Hei could be a king in solo combat, but it seemed that path was still a long way off!

Ye Yun, looking at his own damage, which was not much better than Xiao Hei's, felt extremely awkward. He was a melee boss, so why was his specialization so severe?
One person and one beast, with almost no effort, brought this boss down. It was much easier than facing those swarms of lizards earlier.
"System prompt: Player has defeated Emperor-class boss—Moon Shadow. Gained 1.5 million experience points."
"Acquired 3182 gold coins. Equipment—Moon Chaser (Legendary), Moonlight Battle Armor (Epic), Double Experience Card (Small) *1, Teleportation Scroll *1."
"A legendary equipment dropped?" Ye Yun's eyes were filled with happiness as he looked at the weapon in his hand, which emitted a golden glow.

Wow, it truly lived up to its legendary status! These attributes were incredible. No wonder that guy's attack speed was so fast just now!

If he added a lifesteal accessory, it should sell for a good amount, right?

With the legendary Moon Chaser stealing the spotlight, Ye Yun was still very enthusiastic about the other rewards. For Ye Yun, there was only the distinction between items that could be sold and those that couldn't!
As someone who had been through it before, he understood the importance of personal strength too well!
