Chapter 19: The Unexpected Boss!
“White Night!”
The system announcement repeated, causing Hongtu Baye to narrow his eyes slightly.
He suddenly realized he had underestimated this person’s combat power before.
To be able to single-handedly kill a gold-level boss so quickly—what kind of talent had awakened?
SS rank?
Or even SSS?!
At that thought, Hongtu Baye’s pupils contracted sharply.
The swelling pride within him gradually subsided.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he clearly understood that now, he was definitely no match for White Night.
“But I’m not alone.”
Looking at his own talents and then glancing at the guild members around him, Hongtu Baye reignited his fighting spirit.
“Brothers, hurry up and level up. Next, our guild’s goal is to clear the first dungeon first!”
Saying so, he opened the guild member list and began carefully selecting teammates.
He wanted to form a strong team to conquer the dungeon’s first clear!
Only then could the Baye Guild use the system announcements to firmly establish its reputation in Newbie Village No. 9527 and attract more players.
As the guild’s overall strength increased, so would his own.
No matter how strong White Night was—
Could he alone really fend off an entire guild?
...
A few members of Richest Under Heaven also heard the system announcement triggered by Su Mubai.
Cotton Candy and Awei exchanged shocked looks, momentarily at a loss for words.
Maple Leaves looked up at the sky, tightened his grip on the spear, and slowly spoke:
“His strength... really is terrifying.”
He had just gone all out in a solo fight against the Boar Leader and used over ten healing potions.
Yet unexpectedly, the other party could already solo a gold-level boss!
“It’s alright. The World of Ten Thousand Realms has just begun; there’s plenty of time to catch up with White Night.”
Richest Under Heaven patted Maple Leaves on the shoulder with a smile.
“Besides, with me around, your growth will definitely be faster than his.”
“That’s true.”
Thinking of Richest Under Heaven’s godlike talent, Maple Leaves immediately smiled.
Regaining confidence, he slung the spear over his shoulder and looked at the others:
“Let’s go; it’s time to check out the first dungeon.”
“Right away. I just found a new teammate. Once he arrives, we’ll set off.”
“What class?”
“Fire Elemental Mage.”
...
[Notification: You have killed the Goblin King—Reggie within two minutes, successfully triggering the hidden storyline “Reggie’s Nightmare.”]
[Notification: Difficulty of the Misty Forest dungeon has increased to Catastrophe level.]
“Is Catastrophe above Hell level?”
Su Mubai muttered to himself, waving his hand to summon two fully restored skeletons to replace the skeleton warriors who had lost much health earlier.
At this moment, Reggie’s corpse began to change.
Grayish mists seeped from his seven orifices, quickly forming a small vortex.
Buzz—
Throughout the Misty Forest, the fog rapidly gathered toward the vortex, pouring into it.
At the same time, scenes flickered within the mist.
They depicted the past of Reggie and the Goblin tribe.
They had once been slaves to a group of necromancers.
All goblins, including Reggie, were imprisoned in cages.
Every day, many goblins were used for various experiments.
Necromancer experiments, naturally, were related to death.
Reggie watched helplessly as his kin died in agony one after another.
Until one day, the necromancers succeeded in summoning a skeleton from the small, frail goblin corpses.
A very small skeleton...
“Isn’t this the little skeleton the necromancers first summoned?”
Su Mubai was slightly stunned.
“So the little skeleton was once a goblin?”
Scenes flashed rapidly, but many parts seemed missing.
For some unknown reason, the necromancers suddenly disappeared and did not reappear for a long time.
Seizing the opportunity, Reggie led his tribe out of the cages and hid in the Misty Forest.
The images abruptly ended, and all the mist was sucked into the vortex.
Bang!
Reggie’s corpse suddenly exploded, leaving only a skeleton.
The next moment, he stood up again, hollow pupils burning with eerie blue soul flames.
This Goblin King had hidden for so long but still could not escape the fate of becoming undead.

(One of the necromancers’ most successful creations from ancient times; he should never have appeared here.)
“Roar!!!”
The soul flames in Reggie’s pupils flared wildly. His gaze swept past the skeleton army, locking onto Su Mubai fiercely.
Boom!
He clenched his fists, and the ten goblin warrior corpses lying on the ground shattered instantly.
The remaining bones flew before him, rapidly reassembling into a huge bone sword.
The bone sword shimmered coldly, wisps of pale gray death aura swirling along its blade, exuding an air of mystery and power.
“Hiss~”
Seeing Reggie’s new stats, Su Mubai involuntarily drew a sharp breath.
What a joke!
Is this really the kind of boss that should appear in a newbie village?
With 1.8 million health points, it meant an average regeneration of 3,600 HP per second!
Adding to that terrifying attack and dual defenses, what could newbie village players possibly use to fight this?
Even if level 10 was a watershed point, this increase was absurd!
Did the World of Ten Thousand Realms not consider if anyone could actually defeat this guy?
Suddenly, the Skeleton King’s movements made Su Mubai’s pupils contract sharply.
“Roar!!!”
He raised the bone sword and roared toward the sky.
The next moment, three pale gray vortexes appeared simultaneously.
Then, three groups of skeletons marched out in formation.
Though only fifteen in total, their aura was stronger than the combined strength of the hundred skeletons Su Mubai had summoned!

Reggie pointed the bone sword at Su Mubai and uttered in a hoarse voice:
“Let all enemies become undead like us!”
