It was a level 58 Elite; no wonder it had so much HP .
Above 50, every level was a significant leap, but most importantly, damage dealt would be reduced while damage taken would increase .
"I hope we don't encounter it . If we do, its best if we run away," Lu Li insisted . "Left, you scout out the way . I'll give you directions . "
"Alright," Cain's Left Hand agreed, nodding without hesitation .
Following Lu Li's instructions, he stepped into the forest in Stealth and saw a black bear beating a tree not too far away . The noise alone made it hard to miss .
There were some large honeybees dancing around on the tree .
"Fall back right now," Lu Li said urgently when he saw this scene .
This was the Ringed Black Bear, which was a level 55 Pseudo-boss that had at least 180,000HP . Those bees were level 52 or 53 Golden Devil Bees and were venomous monsters that lived in colonies .
The Ringed Black Bear and the Golden Devil Bees always attacked each other because the black bear was interested in the honey .
Lu Li hadn't encountered this last time, but now, they had to find a different way .
They had no idea what other monsters were lying in wait for them, but Lu Li had no other choice than to withdraw .
He then decided to take the risk of transforming into a Crow and flew through the forest . It was faster than going on foot, but the chances of dying were much greater . He was almost swallowed by a python as he flew through a thicket of trees .
All kinds of birds, insects or monsters could try to attack him .
Even a mosquito could defeat him if it was highly-levelled enough . This was the difference between a game and reality .
Lu Li directed the two players following him in this way .
"Walk to the left; there is a herd of monsters behind the right bush," Lu Li wrote into the channel .
"Alright . Take care Boss," Cain's Left Hand said as he took the lead, followed by Sesame Rice Ball . Rice Ball was a Warlock and couldn't go into Stealth, so he had to wait until Cain's Left Hand could confirm that it was safe .
Although he was holding a bottle that could protect him from three seconds of physical damage, it didn't guarantee that he would survive .
"Dammit, there's a monster Boss," Cain's Left Hand cried out in surprise when he saw a Demonfang Crawler in the trees to the left .
"Rice Ball, run . Left hand, go in the opposite direction and use your equipment's effect to escape," Lu Li quickly instructed .
The trip had gone smoothly so far and they were near their destination .
Cain's Left Hand did not have the time to activate his equipment's effect, so he just fought to the death . Meanwhile, Sesame Rice Ball took the opportunity to run away and escape the Demonfang Crawler's aggro range .
"Boss, I'll go back first and make my way back," Cain's Left Hand said as he lay on the floor and watched the Demonfang Crawler slowly leave .
"Wait a minute; let me see if I can sneak up and save you . Have a look around to see if there are any monsters," Lu Li said, stopping him . There were many monsters on the way and it wasn't really a safe route .
Lu Li found a place to land before entering Stealth .
While he was on top of the trees, he carefully planned a route to bypass the Demonfang Crawler and reach Cain's Left Hand .
After transforming into a Leopard and leaping down, he casted Resurrect on Cain's Left Hand .
The two of them returned to the side of Sesame Rice Ball . This time, they didn't alert the Demonfang Crawler . This wasn't a monster that walked around; it sat around quietly and waited for its prey .
"Boss, Rice Ball probably won't make it . He can't use Stealth and the aggro range here is too big . There's a crawler that way and two Kaliri over there," Cain's Left Hand said as he shook his head .
Lu Li had seen the monsters as well and thought for a moment before suggesting, "I'll pull the Kaliri and free up that way . "
"Isn't that too dangerous," Sesame Rice Ball asked . He felt like he was being a burden .
"If I die, you don't need to come over . I can revive myself . "
Lu Li was still carrying the Darkmoon Card, and had several opportunities to resurrect himself . They had almost arrived at the destination, so he didn't mind using it once .
He also decided to go himself instead of sending Cain's Left Hand because he moved a little faster .
Only one-fifth of the total journey to the Troll Trial Tower remained; he had to succeed .
The Kaliri were descendents of the Rukhmar, but the low-level Kaliri in the Hinterlands were far weaker than those . They had even lost their ability to fly and were only a little higher than level 50, which also made them far weaker than the Demonfang Crawler . This was the reason why Lu Li had chosen to aggro the Kaliri instead of the Demonfang Crawler .
The two Kaliri fluttered their short wings as Lu Li approached .
Lu Li began to accelerate, rushing towards an area he had previously spotted that was free of monsters . Meanwhile, Sesame Rice Ball and Cain's Left Hand were able to sneak past .
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but just as Lu Li had left the Kaliri behind and was about to go into Stealth, a huge floral-like creature erupted up from the ground and swallowed him whole .
As his vision went dark, his HP started dropping rapidly until he died .
Of course, he didn't dare to use his Darkmoon Card in an environment like this . If he revived, he would still be in the monster's belly . Moreover, jungle monsters like this were very strong; even asking a hundred players to reinforce them might not be enough .
Even after the players reached level 50, they would still run away if they encountered this monster .
"Boss, what should we do now that you're dead?" Cain's Left Hand and Sesame Rice Ball asked after finding a safe position .
"You guys go home first . We'll start again . "
Just because they were in a safe area now didn't mean that it would stay that way . It was unrealistic for both of them to just wait there for him .
After returning to town, Lu Li looked at his equipment .
He had so many things in his backpack, but it was still full . Instead, he had lost an equip .
Captain Sander's Belt (Gold): Armour 32, Agility +16, Strength +8 . Special Effect 1: Critical Hit +10% . Special Effect 2: Evasion +15% . Special Effect 3: When hit, there is a certain probability of silencing the attacker for 3 seconds . Level Requirement: level 30 . Durability 64/64 .
This was the original equipment dropped for killing the captain . It had very good properties and was useful against Magic Professions .
Unfortunately, the area where the item had been dropped was so hard to reach that there was no chance of him retrieving it .
Lu Li also knew that they couldn't go on like this, so he gritted his teeth and started calling for members from the guild .
