Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

"Boss, you finally caught up! After what just happened, the journey has been smooth and peaceful, without encountering any danger at all!

We're already very close to the middle of the three-way intersection, but that businessman insisted on waiting until everyone was gathered before he would tell us the specific address of our next destination!

Dachun excitedly shouted to Wu Ming who suddenly appeared not far away.

Wu Ming moved to Dachun's side in an instant like a ghost. He nodded slightly, indicating that he heard what Dachun said.

"Ah, you're finally here! Now we're all here, so I won't keep you in suspense. We're heading to the abandoned city! Fully half of the cargo in my truck is destined for a place called 'Wasteland Jazz Bar' in the abandoned city.

As long as we can successfully reach there, our cargo transport mission will be halfway completed. At that time, you can collect half of the escort commission! Of course, you can also collect it together at the end! "

At this time, the merchant Lao Tuan, who was sitting on the camel cart, saw Wu Ming coming and hurriedly stood up and spoke.

"Now that we know the location, let's not waste any more time and head towards the abandoned city! We can clean things up once we get there."

After listening to the words of the merchant Lao Tuan, Wu Ming walked to the camel cart thoughtfully, stared at the road ahead, and spoke slowly.

After all, so many people were killed and a lot of equipment and weapons were dropped. Wu Ming planned to go to the abandoned city and take them all out and let Dachun and Ahao sort them out. After all, he was too lazy to sort them out.

"Don't you really need to rest for a while? After all, you just..."

However, just as Wu Ming finished speaking, the businessman Lao Tuan hesitated for a moment, then asked softly.

Having said that, the businessman Lao Tuan seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he stopped talking and just looked at Wu Ming with concern.

At first, the merchant Lao Tuan treated these three people with impatience, and even scolded them from time to time, fearing that they were bandits disguised as escort personnel.

However, after witnessing Wu Ming instantly kill a group of people with just one move, his tone began to subtly change. His irritable and dismissive attitude gradually disappeared, replaced by an unconcealable respect.

At this moment, the businessman Lao Tuan was secretly thinking in his heart: How could a person with such terrifying power be an ordinary robber?

If they really came just for my goods, and had the ability to do so, why would they go to the trouble of escorting them all the way to this remote place to rob them?

The only reasonable explanation is that all of this is extra security measures taken by Shanks and the escort agency to ensure that the merchants' journeys are safe.

Presumably, they have specially recruited such a strong escort to enhance the overall security. . . .

"Although this man is indeed very powerful, there shouldn't be too many extra-staff escorts like Wu Ming! If every escort possesses similar strength, then the commissions we merchants need to pay when issuing escort missions in the future will probably increase significantly!

Fortunately, my cargo is valuable. Even with the five million Maple Leaf Coins I'll be able to recoup my costs. It seems those cunning merchants who try to get escort services for a small price won't be able to do so easily anymore!

Thinking of this, the businessman Lao Tuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the huge expenses he would face in transporting goods in the future.

Merchant Lao Tuan was driving his camel slowly toward the Ni'en Forest in the abandoned city. He kept thinking about Wu Ming, a powerful non-staff member, and the possible future developments of the cargo escort.

At the same time, Wu Ming and three others followed closely behind the merchant Lao Tuan's camel cargo cart, guarding it from the front or behind as it moved forward.

Just as they were about to approach the next teleportation array on the map at a three-way intersection, Wu Ming suddenly turned his gaze to the secret teleportation array hidden in the grass not far away, which led to the secret realm of the Snail King.

"Dachun, quickly get behind the truck and take my place. I want to take a stroll in this secret realm and see if there's anything I can find!"

After a brief thought, Wu Ming shouted loudly to the big tree in front of the cargo truck.

"Okay, Boss. Go ahead and do it! But you have to come back quickly! We just encountered a siege, and I'm really worried that something similar will happen next!"

Upon hearing this, Dachun responded without hesitation. He then quickly moved to the back of the truck and took his place.

After Dachun was in position, Wu Ming immediately used his rapid movement skill. In an instant, his figure was like lightning, rushing towards the direction of the Snail King Secret Realm at an astonishing speed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

If Wu Ming had not been besieged by the crowd in Coastal Jungle 3, he probably would not have been able to use the shadow clone skill that could carry out the death penalty on behalf of the world's will so easily.

If this had not happened, in a situation like this, Wu Ming would have been able to quietly use his shadow clone skill, and then give orders to the shadow clone to let it go and kill the snail king on its own and bring back the dropped items.

When Wu Ming successfully traveled back to Blue Star last time, he had carefully checked all the known boss illustrations. He had to admit that he was really lucky.

The first wild boss Wu Ming encountered upon entering this MapleStory world was just the lowest-level Snail King. If it had been a higher-level boss, Wu Ming probably wouldn't even have had a chance to get the first kill reward.

Unfortunately, the cooldown time of the Shadow Clone skill is still more than ten minutes away, so Wu Ming has no choice but to go and take a look in person.

Fortunately, with Wu Ming's current strength, he is still confident and confident that he can get rid of a snail king within just five minutes!

Wu Ming took a deep breath and once again stepped into the mysterious realm of the Snail King. As soon as he entered this realm, he heard a roar like vomiting coming from the top of the mountain.

However, faced with such a familiar sound, Wu Ming seemed unusually calm, with even the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

He flashed, instantly unleashing the Flying Man's Qinggong skill, then unleashing the Mage's Rapid Movement skill, teleporting towards the top of the mountain like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he was already not far from the top.

"It's really strange. Why is it that every time we encounter this Snail King, no one else is trying to kill him! Besides Dachun and Ah Hao, there are only two of them? There are obviously so many teams out there!"

Wu Ming secretly complained in his heart.

Wu Ming had originally thought that his first encounter with the Snail King was entirely due to Zhao Ruilong. Since then, Zhao Ruilong should have known about the existence of this secret realm. But for some reason, no one else had ever killed it until now!

Either someone has killed it and he didn't notice it, or this Snail King is an existence that most people cannot kill at this stage!

At this moment, Wu Ming's eyes fell on the Snail King in front of him, which no one cared about. Its huge body exuded a heart-pounding aura.

But Wu Ming showed no fear. Without hesitation, he raised the maple leaf magic wand in his hand and waved it forward. A piercing cold air suddenly surged out, quickly enveloping the Snail King.

With the successful impact of the freezing spell, the Snail King's forward movement suddenly stopped.

Wu Ming seized this opportunity, waving his magic wand incessantly, unleashing a succession of incredibly powerful lightning spells. For a moment, lightning and thunder intertwined with dazzling light, illuminating the entire mountaintop like daylight.

Wu Ming remained focused, precisely controlling the strength and rhythm of each attack. The bound Snail King could only watch helplessly as he gradually fell into despair, unable to break free from this terrifying cage.

Time passed minute by minute, and everything went smoothly. To Wu Ming's surprise, the speed of killing the Snail King far exceeded his expectations.

In less than five minutes, the Snail King finally couldn't withstand the continuous and fierce attacks and let out a final desperate roar.

Then, its huge body collapsed and turned into countless faint flickering points of light, slowly dissipating in the air.
