The Terror of the Dark Bat!

Over the past few days, Autres deliberately acquired some equipment to strengthen the team, with even the weakest pieces reaching gold-tier quality, significantly boosting their overall power. If there were another team battle, the opposing side would be in real danger. Although the Cobra Organization and Acid Rain Organization had purchased top-tier purple equipment, only eight members possessed it, whereas Autres’s side had upgraded many people, elevating the entire group’s gear level.

The Divine Wing Association belonged to Autres himself; he could have as much equipment as he wanted, but currently, he needed to build a reputation and couldn’t allocate too much. If it weren’t for Morning Breeze capturing the engineer, Autres wouldn’t have been able to rapidly dispatch thirty pieces of equipment. Morning Breeze and Autres tacitly shut down voice chat, and the engineer, frustrated, called the Druke squad to vent his anger.

Only when Autres mailed the previously acquired orange equipment to the engineer did his mood slightly improve. Originally, he had crafted equipment to sell to another team, but now he had to rush to produce more. To keep it secret, the engineer claimed he was customizing the gear for them and had someone collect their information.

Autres and Morning Breeze faced heavy criticism for their actions—it was a substantial investment. They could only defend themselves by saying the equipment was needed to obtain more materials from the Evil Dragon’s Treasure, which eventually silenced the critics. After the second team battle, Morning Breeze felt his gear wasn’t powerful enough; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so suppressed by the Dark Bat. The overall equipment level of the team was lacking—Wang Xiaodie survived till the end only because her Heart of the Ice Butterfly gave her remarkable survivability.

Now, all of Morning Breeze’s leather armor was at least gold-tier; five pieces consisted of one orange, two purple, and two gold. His accessories and rings were gold-tier as well. Although not custom-made, they provided high mobility and damage bonuses. His attributes had increased by 23% compared to before; facing the Dark Bat again, he wouldn’t be so helpless.

Previously, their victory hinged on a surprise attack that eliminated the Snake first; otherwise, Morning Breeze and his group would have suffered a crushing defeat. Therefore, this time, Autres and Morning Breeze decided to invest heavily in strengthening the entire team before entering the Evil Dragon’s Treasure. In fact, Autres and Morning Breeze intended to monopolize the treasure. After distributing the equipment, everyone else’s points became negative, making it unlikely for them to claim any loot.

At the White Bone Dragon’s domain, Autres instructed everyone to enter from different directions. If any side alerted the White Bone Dragon, they were to retreat immediately while the others regrouped at the treasure location. With so many people and only one boss, infiltrating its lair to collect treasures should be straightforward.

Autres naturally used the Black Bone Sand King, his legendary beast god, to travel underground, which was much safer. He was eager to find the White Bone Dragon, but the creature was in deep slumber and seemed unaware of Autres’s approach.

Searching the area, Autres found no cave—where was the Evil Dragon’s Treasure hidden? He immediately told the others not to come closer. It was difficult to obtain the treasure now, and using the others as bait to lure the White Bone Dragon away was impossible.

Level 66 White Bone Dragon boss—did they have to kill this boss?

After receiving Autres’s exploration data, Shadow Corner was still perplexed. His task was to obtain the Shadow Gem, which was said to be in the Evil Dragon’s Treasure, but no instructions on how to enter were provided. Morning Breeze had never heard Shadow Corner mention the treasure’s location either, leaving everyone confused.

If they had to kill the level 66 White Bone Dragon boss, it was absolutely impossible. Even if everyone reached level 60, without thousands of players, they couldn’t defeat this super boss. The White Bone Dragon had two hundred million HP, with formidable physical and magical defenses—how many would it take to kill it? The six-level suppression made it almost impossible for tanks to withstand its attacks.

“What now?” Morning Breeze hadn’t entered; he had transformed into a raven, waiting in the air. Autres sent the others in, clearly hoping they would lure the White Bone Dragon away, giving him a chance to emerge from underground and access the treasure. While the Black Bone Sand King could enter underground, the treasure area was always protected by a barrier—Autres couldn’t figure out how to get in. Morning Breeze would never risk luring the White Bone Dragon; that would be suicide.

For Morning Breeze, the White Bone Dragon’s treasure wasn’t particularly tempting. Obtaining the White Bone Dragon form was enough, and his new equipment—a piece of orange leather shoulder armor—was already impressive. Now, his alternate account’s gear was nearly as good as his main. However, the White Bone Dragon’s advantage was only in the early stages; after level 60, it would be greatly suppressed. The legendary beast god’s core was powerful early on, but hard to upgrade later. Matching gear to the beast god was difficult, unless custom-made for it.

Autres had no solution, so Morning Breeze simply logged off to sleep. After being hunted relentlessly by the Dark Bat, Morning Breeze felt humiliated and exhausted. He just wanted to rest. In fact, from the audience’s perspective, Morning Breeze’s performance was impressive—he dared to livestream during a wilderness team battle, evading the Dark Bat’s aerial advantage for so long, and nearly killed him on the counterattack. To them, it was almost unbelievable, but Morning Breeze managed it.

The Dark Bat was formidable, his skills flawless. Though he had an aerial advantage, his predictive abilities were extraordinary. He always anticipated Morning Breeze’s movements, prepared in the air, and could follow wherever Morning Breeze went, attacking him effectively. In truth, the Dark Bat was much more skilled than Morning Breeze, but the livestream focused on Morning Breeze, whose constant movement made him seem superior.

Morning Breeze felt defeated by the Dark Bat; in a one-on-one, he stood no chance. The professional suppression was one factor, but it was the Dark Bat’s reaction speed and predictive ability that made Morning Breeze feel outmatched. It was the first time he encountered someone whose reflexes and foresight surpassed his own. Snake’s reflexes were strong but still within Morning Breeze’s grasp, whereas the Dark Bat truly exceeded him.

Keen psychic powers! It was like when Morning Breeze faced the Meteorite’s abilities, but the Dark Bat had honed his keen powers to an extraordinary level. Even if Morning Breeze maxed his reflexes, he could never surpass the Dark Bat; it was a fundamental difference. The Dark Bat’s keen powers now influenced his thoughts, granting him incredible predictive abilities—like playing chess, he could instantly anticipate a dozen possible routes for Morning Breeze and respond accordingly. Unless Morning Breeze acted in ways beyond normal comprehension, he could never escape the Dark Bat’s pursuit.

Morning Breeze always knew keen psychic abilities were monstrous, but Meteorite hadn’t reached such heights. Now, Morning Breeze had to confront a new issue: whether his warrior or shapeshifter account faced the Dark Bat, both were at a disadvantage—profession and psychic powers provided overwhelming suppression.

In the Death Mantis’s team, Snake threatened Morning Breeze, and the Dark Bat made things tricky. Autres was a Holy Knight, and his alternate account, the Black Bone Sand King, wasn’t afraid of the Dark Bat, but Morning Breeze truly felt the terror of this opponent. He would inevitably have to deal with him in the future—how should he prepare?

After logging off, Morning Breeze poured himself a glass of water and paced the room. If a third team battle occurred at the Grave of Death, he had little confidence in winning, even with improved equipment. The opponents had also upgraded their gear, collectively pooling funds, and their enhancements would match Autres’s team.

Magnetized Gravity Ring!

At last, Morning Breeze thought of a way to counter the Dark Bat: magnetize him or subject him to tenfold gravity, stripping away his aerial advantage. No matter how fast he reacted, under tenfold gravity, what could he do? The Magnetized Gravity Ring only had level 30 attributes, but it should be the ideal equipment against the Dark Bat.

The Dark Bat’s greatest survival ability was flight; his defense and HP weren’t particularly high. If gravity and magnetization were combined, whether Morning Breeze used the White Bone Dragon form or his warrior account, he’d have enough output to defeat him. The Magnetized Gravity Ring was on the warrior account, and unlike magical rings, it couldn’t be transferred to the alternate account by logging off. So he’d have to retrieve it from the warehouse, but for now, it wasn’t possible. Morning Breeze, for the time being, couldn’t face the Dark Bat at the Grave of Death.

Had he known the Dark Bat would be so formidable, Morning Breeze would have switched accounts earlier. But now that he’d found a solution, he no longer worried; future encounters with the Dark Bat would be rare anyway, and even if they met, Morning Breeze now had a way to kill him. His problem was solved.

A shower! Wang Xiaodie was likely being used as bait by Autres in the White Bone Dragon’s domain, but Morning Breeze didn’t want to say anything—he’d just take a bath first. After washing up and grabbing a bite, Wang Xiaodie finally logged off. Autres still couldn’t locate the Evil Dragon’s Treasure and had to let everyone log off.

Morning Breeze had no interest in pursuing the Evil Dragon’s Treasure now; the gains from this adventure were already substantial—no need to be greedy. When Wang Xiaodie got up, Morning Breeze lay on the bed, ready to sleep. According to their previous agreement, Morning Breeze could sleep together with Wang Xiaodie.

Seeing Morning Breeze actually dare to sleep on the bed, Wang Xiaodie considered going to Lin Shanshan’s room instead. After her shower, she found Morning Breeze already asleep. This was truly a test for Wang Xiaodie—if Morning Breeze were awake, she really would have gone to Lin Shanshan’s room, but with him asleep, she had no excuse.

She had never let a man get so close before, and Wang Xiaodie felt deeply conflicted.
