Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Chapter 65 Team formation

In that thrilling first killing operation of the Snail King, Wu Ming displayed extraordinary wall-climbing strength and fearless courage at this stage.

At that time, his level had already surpassed everyone else in the MapleStory world by several levels, and he could be said to be unrivaled in the world. However, this feat was not achieved solely by relying on his own level advantage.

In reality, Wu Ming's ability to easily surpass others stemmed from his arsenal of bizarre yet incredibly powerful buffs. These mysterious and powerful buffs acted like a solid shield, providing him with a constant source of strength.

Facing the formidable and formidable Snail King boss, Wu Ming showed no fear. Relying on his exceptional combat skills and fearless courage, he engaged in a fierce, life-or-death struggle with the behemoth.

After an extremely hard and fierce battle, Wu Ming finally succeeded in defeating the once seemingly invincible enemy, the Snail King!

Because of this, as the first person to achieve the first kill of a boss and obtain rewards in the MapleStory world, Wu Ming's name instantly spread throughout the entire Blue Star network. Although his real face and identity were not revealed, he became an idol figure admired and respected by countless people.

"Wu Ming is truly remarkable! How wonderful it would be if I were lucky enough to join the team he leads in the future!"

The warrior who was fighting hard against the Snail King at this moment, while brandishing the sword in his hand to launch a fierce attack on the enemy, muttered to himself with eyes shining with envy and longing.

It happened in a flash. Before the two of them could react, the Snail King, which was as big as a mountain, suddenly attacked and rushed forward like a heavy tank.

Its huge body, which was extremely hard, covered with mucus and emitted a foul smell, slammed into the warrior with the force of thunder.

Because the incident happened too suddenly, and the attack was extremely fast and powerful, the warrior tried his best to dodge, but he was still a step too slow.

There was only a loud dull thud, and the soldier flew backwards several meters like a kite with a broken string. After landing, he staggered back several steps before he could barely steady himself.

"Yeah, much better than me! I just rolled down the hill!"

Seeing this exciting scene, Wu Ming thought of his own predicament at that time and thought to himself.

When the flying hero on the side saw this situation, he thought to himself that something was wrong and immediately flew forward without any hesitation.

He moved like lightning and was close to the Snail King in the blink of an eye. He replaced the dart in his hand with a short blade weapon and swung it out with cold light, trying to attract the Snail King's attention and reduce the pressure on the warrior.

However, the Snail King's defense was too high, and its strength was too strong for ordinary people to defeat. Facing the Flying Man's fierce attack, it was not afraid at all, but instead used its skill - Slowness - on those nearby!

Poor Feixia was caught off guard by the Snail King's skill. Then, as he expected, the Snail King changed direction and crashed into Feixia. Without any surprise, he was directly knocked back like a warrior.

"Hmm! It's obvious that this flying hero doesn't have the money to learn Qinggong, otherwise he wouldn't have been slowed down by the slowing spell just now!"

Looking at this loyal and righteous flying knight, Wu Ming thought to himself.

"Oh my god! This is bad! It looks like we're running out of recovery potions!"

After catching his breath a little, Feixia gasped and shouted at the warrior with a terrified look on his face.

"It's over! This amount of potion is not enough to sustain us through this battle!"

Before he finished speaking, the soldier suddenly raised his hand and checked his backpack, as if he had thought of something. When he saw the few remaining potion bottles, he couldn't help but let out a cry of despair!

At this moment, after a fierce battle, the Snail King was also covered in wounds and blood, but he still had a lot of blood left and his attack power was still very ferocious and terrifying.

Right now, the warriors and flying heroes are undoubtedly caught in a difficult dilemma!

If they choose to retreat back to the city to replenish medicines and supplies and then challenge this powerful Snail King again, all their previous efforts and the excellent opportunity they have waited for may become someone else's wedding dress.

But if they continue to stay here and fight to the death with the Snail King who is almost in a trapped beast state, there is a high possibility that they will be unable to recover in time due to the depletion of potions and eventually be wiped out. They will be forced to return to the city by the system and lose a precious resurrection opportunity in vain.

Just as the two of them were lost in thought, struggling over whether to choose a strategic retreat or to take a gamble and risk their lives, something unexpected happened.

The massive Snail King suddenly opened its mouth, roaring and vomiting once more, before a mysterious light emanated from it. Undoubtedly, the Snail King had once again unleashed its unique skill—Summoning!

In an instant, accompanied by a flash of dazzling light, a large group of red, blue, and green snails emerged like a tide and surrounded them in an instant. The number of these snails was beyond imagination, and they crowded and collided with each other, making a loud noise.

In the chaos, the warrior was unfortunately knocked down by many snails, lost his balance, and rolled straight down the mountain like a boulder rolling down the hillside.

"Brother Dachun, be careful!"

Seeing him about to fall to the bottom of the mountain, the flying hero beside him was extremely anxious and shouted at the top of his voice. The sound echoed throughout the wild map of Coastal Grass 3 for a long time.

"Ah Hao, be sure to avoid these snails. I'll climb back up the mountain to meet you and continue killing the Snail King!"

The rapidly falling soldier Dachun did not panic. Despite the danger, he remained clear-headed. While tumbling, he kept trying to stop himself while calling out to his companions on the mountain.

Finally, when the tree rolled down to the middle of the mountain, he seized the opportunity and exerted force, slamming the spear he held tightly in his hand into the soft soil beside him. With this force, he successfully slowed down his downward movement and finally stabilized his body.

However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. The moment Da Chun stopped and looked up, what caught his eye was not any other scene, but Wu Ming, who was leisurely lying in a luxurious chair! At this moment, Wu Ming was smiling, watching everything happening before his eyes with great interest.

"Um... hello!"

Wu Ming looked at the dirty and muddy Da Chun in front of him a little awkwardly. Their eyes met in the next moment, and there was a hint of awkwardness in the air.

"Ah Hao, retreat quickly! There are outsiders breaking into this wild map!"

At this moment, Dachun's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had discovered something extremely terrifying. He turned his head sharply and shouted loudly to his teammate Ah Hao, who was struggling to avoid the attack of the Snail King on the top of the mountain.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for Dachun and Ah Hao. They had been working together to hunt down the powerful Snail King, but after a tough battle, not only were their recovery potions running low, but their own health was also reduced to about half.

What's worse is that the Snail King in front of him is also in a state of low health. If the Snail King boss's final blow is snatched away by this strange man who suddenly appears, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Dachun couldn't help but feel worried. You know, in this MapleStory world, if the opponent's level is below 30, then you can attack them without any scruples and will not be punished.

And if both sides were at the same level, considering that they both had no potions and only half health, it would not be difficult for the other side to kill them.

Faced with such a complicated and dangerous situation, Dachun really didn't dare to take the risk easily, so he immediately decided to let Ah Hao give up attacking the Snail King and quickly go down the mountain to meet him, and then make the next response strategy based on the specific situation.

"Well...I said I don't intend to steal your boss, do you believe it?"

Wu Ming, still lying on the luxurious chair, looked at the tense situation before him and spoke. At this time, Fei Xia also hurried to the scene, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense! If that's the case, then leave this map immediately!"

Hearing Wu Ming's words, a hint of doubt flashed in Dachun's eyes, but he quickly responded firmly.

Wu Ming was not frightened by Dachun's aura. He observed everyone with sharp eyes, and especially noticed that Dachun had rolled down from the top of the mountain to here without even drinking a sip of potion.

"From what I can see, your situation isn't good. Judging from the looks of it, I'm afraid there's no more medicine left! Even if I leave right now, given your current state, it would be incredibly difficult for you to successfully kill the Snail King!"

So, Wu Ming had an idea in mind and spoke tentatively.

"How...how did you know?"

As soon as these words came out, Dachun was about to refute, but Feixia next to him blurted out like a fool.

In an instant, Dachun's face turned extremely ugly, and he glared at Feixia fiercely, while the other teammates also showed expressions of surprise and annoyance on their faces.

After hearing this, Dachun's expression froze instantly, as if struck by lightning, and he looked speechless. He stared at his companion with wide eyes, his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

At the same time, Wu Ming, standing nearby, raised his lips slightly, revealing an expression of "as expected." His half-smile made Dachun and the other two even more furious.

"Don't be so nervous and defensive about me. I really want to help you hunt this Snail King! How about this? I'll give you these potions. With these supplies, you'll be able to defeat the Snail King more easily!"

As Wu Ming spoke, he slowly reached out and groped in the backpack behind him.

After a while, he carefully took out two different colored potions, one bright red like blood, the other azure like the sea. Then, Wu Ming gently placed the two bottles of potion on the ground and pushed them forward, stopping right at the feet of Dachun and the others.

Seeing this scene, he was originally planning to stab Wu Ming's big tree with the spear in his hand, but in an instant, as if he was cast under a spell, his whole body froze. His hand that was tightly gripping the spear unconsciously loosened a little, and the thoughts in his mind also stopped at this moment.

"Brother, thank you so much for these potions. How about you join our team? After we successfully defeat the Snail King, how about we share the experience points?"

After a brief silence and thought, Dachun suddenly took a deep breath, then raised his head, looked at Wu Ming with a firm gaze and said.

"I'm here specifically to find teammates! To be honest, I've never thought about joining your team, but I really hope to recruit you into my team! So, what do you think?"

As soon as he heard the other party's invitation to form a team, Wu Ming refused without hesitation and revealed his true thoughts.

As Wu Ming finished his words, Dachun and his companion froze in disbelief. They then began whispering to each other, seemingly nervously and doubtfully discussing a strategy.

Wu Ming stood quietly to the side, gazing calmly at the two of them, with no intention of interrupting or interfering with their conversation. He waited patiently, allowing the two to continue their heated argument.

"No, brother, we simply cannot accept your offer to join our team. However, once we successfully hunt down that Snail King boss, you can have priority in selecting the first item we obtain. This is a token of our sincere gratitude for providing us with those precious potions!"

Time passed minute by minute. After several minutes, Dachun finally seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly raised his head, looked straight at Wu Ming, and then spoke without hesitation.

"Well, since you've said that, how about I help you kill this Snail King? I won't even take any of the drops. Then we can form a team! We can disband after we complete the mission!"

Wu Ming responded without hesitation.

"Oh, you? You look like a wizard, right?"

At this time, the flying hero named Li Hao looked at Wu Ming with suspicion, especially when he noticed the magic wand placed next to Wu Ming, he couldn't help but look it up and down, and then said contemptuously.

"That's right, it's just me! As long as we team up, you two don't have to do anything. Just stand by and watch me take down this Snail King by myself!"

Faced with the other party's questioning eyes and disdainful words, Wu Ming was not moved at all. Instead, he straightened his body and spoke calmly while meeting their gazes.

As he spoke, Wu Ming's tone was filled with strong confidence, even a hint of untamed rebelliousness that was hard to conceal. It was as if in his eyes, this so-called Snail King was not worth mentioning at all.

However, this is indeed the case. For Wu Ming now, basically two or three freeze spells are enough to kill the snail king in front of him.
