Chapter 061 First Kill Announcement
"Server-wide announcement: Anonymous player from the Star Dragon Empire has achieved the first kill of the second boss of the Burning Ruins, the Fire Lizard, in Chaos City. Congratulations to player Holy Cross Judgment."
Just after this server-wide announcement ended, Li Hanqiang's Fire Lizard was also killed.
"There's a server-wide announcement for killing a BOSS in Chaos City!" Li Hanqiang was taken aback, then felt a great sense of regret.
I was just a hair's breadth away from receiving this notice.
"Who is this Holy Cross Judgment? He's hiding his identity and doesn't dare to reveal his Chaos City number!" Li Hanqiang pounded his chest, feeling like his limelight had been stolen.
This server-wide announcement sparked a lot of discussion among adventurer players.
"What does this announcement mean? The Lord of Chaos City can also run dungeons?"
"We adventurers are just trying to get the first kill, what are they doing, Chaos City Lord, getting involved!"
"Did the boss of the Burning Ruins go to attack the city?"
"Holy Cross Judgment, that nickname... isn't it the title of the president of the Holy Cross Guild?"
"The Holy Cross Guild got the announcement..."
At this time, all the major guilds are secretly competing and conquering the Burning Ruins. Receiving a server-wide announcement is undoubtedly a demonstration of a guild's strength and the best form of publicity.
Previously, the Tianhe Guild had made a name for themselves by getting the first kill of the first BOSS in the Burning Ruins, and the names of Tianhe Emperor and others became known to many players. However, the first kill of the second BOSS did not fall into the hands of any adventurer player team, but was snatched by a Chaos City. The player named Holy Cross Judgment undoubtedly became the winner and received a lot of attention.
The identity of this player was quickly revealed. Holy Cross Judgment was no ordinary player; he was the guild leader of the Holy Cross Guild, a large guild whose strength was in no way inferior to that of the Heavenly River Guild.
"I didn't expect the Holy Cross Guild to get the first kill... The Holy Cross Judgment actually chose the Chaos City Lord class, that's interesting."
Emperor Tianhe, currently in the Burning Ruins instance, sighed and said to his teammates, "The Chaos City Lord has defensive towers. If other players provide support, killing the Fire Giant Lizard will be much easier than it is in the instance. However, there won't be a first-kill reward. The Holy Cross Guild will only get a notification, which is just empty fame. Let's keep trying. Defeating the Fire Giant Lizard and getting the equipment is the real benefit!"
His team is currently fighting the Fire Giant Lizard, and the situation is stable with a good chance of killing it.
At this moment, there are quite a few teams that are at a similar level to Emperor Tianhe and his team in the dungeon, most of which are elite teams from large guilds.
The top ten guilds in the online gaming world—Salem, Beidou, Tianhe, Dayu, Holy Cross, War Cry, Qianxiao, Huangtu, Zhijian, and Dark Tide—have all settled in [Endless World]. Each of these ten guilds is backed by a large conglomerate and is extremely powerful. They have been competing with each other for many years, and the Burning Ruins dungeon is their first battlefield in [Endless World].
Now, Tianhe Guild and Holy Cross Guild have secured two points, but this has also triggered an even more frantic pursuit from the other major guilds!
At this moment, Li Hanqiang also remembered that the nickname "Holy Cross Judgment" was the exclusive nickname of the president of the Holy Cross Guild, and his depression dissipated considerably.
After all, the Holy Cross Judgment was a figure on par with the Heavenly River Emperor.
"Now I should say I almost stole the spotlight from the Holy Cross Guild. If I hadn't wasted time earlier, this server-wide announcement would have been mine. It seems my current strength is even above the Holy Cross Judgment. Impressive!"
Li Hanqiang, by praising himself so highly, couldn't help but feel a surge of ambition.
The BOSS level isn't over yet, which means there are still more BOSSes to come, and I still have a chance to get the first kill notification for the next BOSS.
Getting the first kill and making a server-wide announcement—wouldn't that be one of the most exciting things in life?
Li Hanqiang's heart burned with excitement. He quickly searched for the items dropped by the Fire Giant Lizard and found a treasure chest containing one hundred gold coins and another item, a lucky gem!
"Another lucky gem has appeared!"
Li Hanqiang was overjoyed. Just as he picked up the lucky gem, a new BOSS announcement came out—
"System notification: Congratulations on successfully defending the second phase of the BOSS level. You have been granted 30 minutes of preparation time. The third phase will begin in 30 minutes. The BOSS from the Burning Ruins world dungeon will be selected as the siege monster. The third phase BOSS is the Fire Dragon Earl, who will join the battlefield 20 minutes after the siege begins. The siege monsters in this phase are LV22 Earth Fire Dragons, numbering two thousand, including ten elite Earth Fire Dragons. Please prepare your defenses..."
Li Hanqiang ended his preparations without hesitation.
Soon, the level 22 Earthfire Dragon rushed out of the spacetime wormhole.
This fire dragon has four legs, a huge tail, and a long neck. It looks similar to the Brachiosaurus from the dinosaur era. It is not particularly large, but it is about seven or eight meters long and about six meters tall. It has red scales all over its body and a deck on its back.
These large monsters naturally intimidate people, but unfortunately, the defensive towers treat everyone the same and easily take them down.
Perhaps their physical defense is stronger than that of the Flame Tiger and the Flame Lizard, but the Sword Tower and the Open and Dark Arrow Tower deal true damage that ignores defense.
However, the Earth Fire Dragon is large, and it spawns from the spacetime wormhole much more slowly, making it easier for Li Hanqiang to defend during this phase.
The elite-level Earthfire Dragon had faint flames rising from its back, making it look even more ferocious, but unfortunately it was useless. Li Hanqiang leisurely controlled the basic slow tower to slow down the enemy single target, and then used the three open and hidden arrow towers to focus fire, which could basically kill it in one round.
The stage boss, Count Fire Dragon, arrived rather late. To Li Hanqiang's surprise, this boss was actually a humanoid monster, but with dragon wings and a demonic arrow-shaped tail. He had dragon horns on his head, and his body was covered in scales like armor, allowing him to fly!
"Flying monsters!" Li Hanqiang disliked flying monsters because they were beyond the control of the Beast Catcher.
He dared not be careless and immediately used the basic slow tower to slow down the Fire Dragon Earl. However, even with a 25% slowdown, the BOSS was still very fast.
Since successfully turning the three-headed tiger of the Flame Demon, the little monk Huixin's talent has stopped working. Li Hanqiang didn't dare to hope that he could turn the Fire Dragon Earl this time, so he directly focused all the defensive towers on fire.
The Fire Dragon Earl was a level 22 boss with a whopping 11000 HP. Unfortunately, it couldn't withstand two rounds of attacks from the nine towers of open and hidden spears and was quickly knocked down from the sky.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player who achieved the first kill of the final boss of the Burning Ruins, Count Fire Dragon! You have been granted one opportunity to announce this server-wide. Please write your message or choose to announce anonymously!"
"First kill secured!"
Li Hanqiang was overjoyed; his chance to shine had arrived.
He quickly submitted his information, and soon a server-wide announcement was issued.
"Server-wide announcement: Player Li Hanqiang has successfully achieved the first kill of the third boss, Count Fire Dragon, in the Burning Ruins of Chaos City (No. 68) of the Dragon Slayer Empire!"
