Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

The raging flames burned madly all around, as if to devour everything. However, due to the lack of sufficient fuel, the fierce fire only lasted for a few minutes before dying down completely.

"Damn it! I'm not dead! I was really scared by the sudden 10,000 points of damage just now!"

Wu Ming slowly came back to his senses from his extreme fear. He stared at the devastated place in front of him with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief.

The huge crater formed by the mysterious beam of light was a shocking sight. The raging flames around it gradually dimmed until they were completely extinguished. Recalling the thrilling scene just now, Wu Ming still felt a lingering fear and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Luckily, I was smart enough to use the Substitution Technique and Shadow Clone Technique right from the start. They helped me absorb some of the damage!"

While Wu Ming was secretly rejoicing, he began to carefully observe the situation around him.

After a careful look, he was surprised to find that the Substitute Technique and Shadow Clone he had summoned earlier had all disappeared. He quickly opened the skill bar to check, and sure enough, he saw a message indicating that the Shadow Clone was in a death cooldown state.

At this moment, Wu Ming's attention was attracted by something not far ahead.

There lay a patch of land, scorched like a welder's lightning, streaked with dark and shallow black streaks. Even more astonishing was the fact that scattered across the scorched earth lay dozens of faintly gleaming orbs of fallen objects.

Faced with such a sudden scene, Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and strode forward without hesitation, ready to touch those mysterious dropped light balls one by one to see what kind of surprises or treasures he could get from them.

"Wow! Golden Legend!" Oh! Sorry, I went to the wrong set!

When Wu Ming looked at the large variety of equipment and items in his backpack, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Wu Ming took out items from his backpack one by one and checked their properties.

The purple-gold armor (male) exudes a mysterious and noble light, as if woven from countless purple-gold star fragments, while the platinum trousers (male) shine with brilliant silver light, with smooth lines and full of texture.

The red star-lit robe was like a blazing flame, dazzling yet elegant. And then there was the eye-catching Long Eight Snake Spear, its tip gleaming with cold light, like a nimble venomous snake, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

Although the bamboo staff may seem ordinary, it contains a kind of ancient power. The sage's short staff is like the magic wand of a magical girl, exuding an aura of wisdom and majesty.

Besides this, there were also a variety of other items that were too numerous to count. Eight gold darts were neatly placed in the backpack, each one gleaming with an alluring golden light.

There are as many as 200 bottles of vitality potions, and the blue liquid seems to be full of endless vitality and energy. There are also a lot of blue and white potions and other kinds of medicines.

"Wow! A gold belt for killing and setting fires! The ancients weren't wrong! The value of their words is as high as ever!"

Wu Ming muttered to himself excitedly. He carefully examined the fallen objects, thinking to himself.

After some observation, he suddenly realized that these seemed to be the precious props worn by those who had just reached level 30!

Wu Ming pondered for a moment, and a reasonable explanation gradually emerged in his mind.

Wu Ming thought that the reason why players below level 30 were not allowed to kill others at will was probably to protect these newcomers to the game world so that they could pass through the novice safe zone smoothly.

After all, at this stage, everyone's strength is still weak. If free killing is allowed, the weak are likely to become the target of bullying by the strong, and the beginning of equality for all in the MapleStory world will be greatly reduced.

However, once you reach level 30, the situation is different. At this point, people already have a certain level of strength and can challenge stronger opponents.

However, this also carries risks. If you choose to actively attack a player who is also level 30 or higher, and fail to defeat them or are even killed by them, your items and weapons may fall and become spoils of war.

This not only increases the excitement and challenge of the MapleStory world, but also allows those who fight as a team to think carefully and weigh the pros and cons before fighting.

"Never mind, this kind of income is already pretty good. Although the thought of plundering other people's wealth flashed through my mind just now, this idea is really unethical and extremely risky. If I'm not careful, it might bring me endless trouble. So let's just stop here!"

Wu Ming thought to himself.

There was no one around, and the silence was eerie. Wu Ming figured since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well take out the Treasure Island world map.

"Hmm? What a coincidence! The Snail King's secret realm is not far ahead! Now that we're here, we can't miss this rare opportunity to go in and explore!"

When he cast his eyes on the map, he couldn't help but feel a surprise in his heart. Thinking of this, Wu Ming walked towards the direction of the Snail King Secret Realm without hesitation.

In fact, it was not that Wu Ming could not remember these maps, but the terrain of places such as the coastal grass and the three-way intersection was too similar. They were all rolling hills. Without the Treasure Island map as a guide, ordinary people could easily get lost in this vast wilderness.

You can either wander around like a headless fly, or just follow one road to the next teleportation array. After all, in the world of MapleStory, as the saying goes - all roads lead to Rome.

After all, although the map of the MapleStory world is vast, with the help of skills, it is easy to reach the next village.

Ever since Wu Ming sneakily got hold of someone else's Snail King last time, he completed the dungeon and then traveled back to Blue Star.

During this rare break, he was not idle. He kept his habit of playing with his mobile phone while eating breakfast. So while Wu Ming was eating breakfast, he deliberately looked up a lot of the latest information about the MapleStory world.

After some in-depth research, Wu Ming combined his own knowledge of the distribution of BOSSes on Treasure Island and had a clearer understanding.

It turns out that nearly every village on Treasure Island hides a powerful boss. Currently known bosses include the Snail King of Pearl Harbor, the Mushroom King of Shooter Village, and the Wood Demon King of the Warrior Tribe. There's also the Green Water Spirit King, found in dungeons. These are the known bosses.

As for the BOSS that has not yet been discovered, it may be hidden in abandoned cities, magical forests, and cities in the forest.

Furthermore, there are rumors that after these regular bosses have been revealed one by one, an even more powerful and terrifying super boss will emerge. However, whether this rumor is true or not remains to be determined.

It is worth mentioning that the refresh rules of these BOSS are basically once a day. In addition, there is a special monster called the resentful monster.

In order for this kind of resentful monster to appear, specific conditions must be met! Either the player goes on a monster hunt in a certain map, reaching a certain number, or the player kills too many normal monsters in the area too quickly, making it impossible for them to respawn in a short period of time. Only then will the resentful monster appear.

As he walked, Wu Ming unknowingly stepped into the map of the mysterious secret realm of the Snail King.

It was still that all-too-familiar sound, like a vomiting roar from the depths of hell, straight into Wu Ming's ears! That was the unique vomiting roar of the Snail King boss.

When Wu Ming carefully stepped into this area and walked slowly towards the top of the mountain, an astonishing scene suddenly appeared before his eyes.

On the top of the mountain, two people were engaged in a thrilling and extremely fierce life-and-death struggle with the huge and ferocious Snail King.

Halfway up the mountain, with his sight barely reaching the summit, Wu Ming stopped without hesitation. With his strength now far superior to what it once was, the items the Snail King could drop were no longer very appealing to him.

Unless this monster can drop a precious and rare treasure like a ring, after all, he still has eight empty fingers waiting for the right ring to decorate them! Unfortunately, the probability of dropping items from such a low-level boss is too low.

Otherwise, the value of a low-level boss like the Snail King is far less than the rewards of challenging an abandoned dungeon or killing a stone man resentful monster.

Wu Ming stood there quietly, looking up. He could clearly see that on the top of the mountain, which towered into the clouds, there were only two brave and fearless adventurers who were concentrating on hunting the terrifying Snail King.

They were sturdy and agile, their weapons flashing with cold light, and every move contained infinite power and exquisite skills. However, facing the Snail King's unparalleled strength and indestructible defense, this battle still seemed extremely difficult and dangerous.

One warrior, a towering figure with a powerful physique, stood in the center of the field like a moving iron tower. He clutched a thick, heavy spear in both hands, its tip gleaming with a cold light, as if it could easily pierce any obstacle. Every time he swung the spear with all his might, it sent a whistling sound through the wind, a terrifying force.

The warrior's attacks were fierce and precise, with each stab aimed at the tiny gap between the snail king's hard shell and soft flesh.

He knew that these gaps were the weak points of the Snail King's defense. If he could successfully insert his spear, he could possibly deal a fatal blow to this powerful monster. Therefore, he concentrated all his attention and poured his strength into the weapon in his hand without mercy.

At the same time, another flying man with a ghostly figure was quickly shuttling around the Snail King.

His sturdy figure and agile movements streaked across the battlefield like a flash of lightning. He would occasionally pull out various hidden weapons from his pocket and hurl them at the Snail King with lightning speed. Some of these weapons darted by like meteors, while others were as cunning and vicious as poisonous bees.

What's even more clever is that this flying hero can always grasp the timing accurately and immediately attract the attention of the Snail King the moment the warrior launches an attack.

In this way, he successfully transferred the target of the Snail King's hatred to himself in the first place, effectively interfering with the Snail King's actions and making it unable to fully cope with the warrior's fierce offensive.

Not far away, halfway up the mountain, Wu Ming stood quietly. His eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the fierce battle scene on the top of the mountain, not missing a single detail.

He was inwardly astonished by the prowess displayed by the two adventurers. The warrior's bravery was admirable, while the flying hero's agility and versatility were truly dazzling. Their tacit cooperation was seamless, gradually turning this initially difficult battle around.

However, despite their best efforts, the Snail King's tenacity far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Although the huge body of the Snail King moved slowly, every step was as steady as a rock. Its extremely hard shell could withstand most of the attacks. Even if it was occasionally hit in the vital parts, it would only suffer slight injuries.

Facing such a tenacious enemy, could the warrior and the flying hero finally defeat it? At this moment, even Wu Ming, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but feel a little bit of watching the show.

Time passed slowly. During this period, Wu Ming summoned a substitute not far away, then took out a rich man's chair and lay down to watch.

When the snails or green water spirits that appear nearby attack and collide with it, all the damage is transferred to the scarecrow.

"This Snail King is much more difficult to deal with than I thought!"

The soldier was breathing heavily, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down from his forehead, like beads that had broken off the string, falling to the ground drop by drop, quickly soaking the ground under his feet and the originally clean and tidy clothes on his body.

He was seen holding the spear tightly in both hands, his arms trembling slightly due to the long battle, and it seemed that he would collapse at any time, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Feixia standing aside also had a solemn look on his face, and his eyes, which were usually extremely lively, were now filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

He stared at the huge snail king in front of him with a shell as hard as iron, and swung his right hand quickly, shooting sharp darts at the snail king.

However, these darts only sent a few sparks flying when they hit the Snail King's shell, and they were unable to cause any substantial damage to it. As time went on, Fei Xia's hidden weapons became fewer and fewer, and they were about to run out.

"If only that killer Wu Ming could show up here right now! He's the undisputed master of our dimension! With him around, we might be able to easily get rid of this damned Snail King! Alas! It's a pity that I don't have many darts left!"

At this moment, Feixia suddenly teased his fellow warriors.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. When Wu Ming, who was hiding on the hillside not far away observing the battle, heard the warrior and the flying hero mention his name, his heart suddenly shook, and his thoughts were involuntarily drawn back to the scene when he first encountered the Snail King.
