Two Elite Monsters (Bonus Update)

“How do you know?”

Dawn’s Light was stunned for a moment and hurriedly drew the greatsword from his back.

However, before he finished speaking, the background music for entering battle immediately started ringing in his ears.

On a small clearing a few dozen meters ahead, more than a dozen grayish-white wolves suddenly leaped out.

They bared their fangs, their ghostly green eyes fixated on this group of uninvited guests, and their mouths constantly emitted low, menacing growls.

Forest Wolf, beast-type monster, level: 1.

If it was just ordinary Forest Wolves, these players wouldn’t be too surprised.

While these monsters always appeared in groups—always gathering together and known for their numbers—their HP and attack power were both very low, only marginally stronger than slimes.

What truly made them nervous, however, were the two giant wolves surrounded by all the Forest Wolves in the very center.

The giant wolves were twice the size of ordinary Forest Wolves.

Not only was their fur a much deeper shade, but even the fangs at the corners of their mouths seemed notably sharper.

Information about these two monsters appeared before Chen Zixuan’s eyes.

Forest Wolf King, Elite monster.

Level: 5

Attack: 40

Physical Defense: 10

Magic Defense: 5

HP: 180

Racial Skills: [Claw Swipe] — The Forest Wolf King swings its claws, dealing 1.5 times its attack strength as physical damage to all enemies within 1 meter in front.

[Howl]: The Forest Wolf King emits a piercing howl, increasing the attack by 10 and agility by 5 of all Forest Wolves within 50 meters, lasting for 30 seconds.

“You clear the small mobs, I’ll take on the two elites. No problem, right?”

Chen Zixuan drew a dagger, holding it in a reverse grip with her right hand, and turned to glance at Dawn’s Light.

“Two? Can you really handle them alone? Do you want me to drag one away for you?”

Dawn’s Light sounded a little worried.

“No need. Just take care of your own people.”

With that, Chen Zixuan charged straight into the wolf pack.

Seeing the girl charge in like a berserker, Dawn’s Light hurriedly raised his greatsword and loudly commanded, “Frontliners, up with me! Rear, don’t let the monsters break through our formation!”

With those words, the dozen or so of them drew their weapons and rushed in after Chen Zixuan.

With over 200 agility points, covering several dozen meters meant nothing. In just a few seconds, the silver-haired girl had already encountered the three foremost Forest Wolves!

The Forest Wolves lunged at her, but they were never Chen Zixuan’s real target.

With a deft twist of her body, she dodged the attack and slipped through a two-meter-wide gap, heading straight for the two elite Wolf Kings deep in the formation!

Normally, such a fighting style would be very risky, even reckless.

Especially when teammates couldn’t keep up, the first to charge often ended up too deep inside enemy lines, surrounded and killed.

However, Chen Zixuan had enough confidence in her agility to choose this extremely direct and simple fighting method.

Catch the leader first to take down the gang; insult the mother before the man!

Even in the worst case scenario—even if she made a misstep and got surrounded—she could always use [Night Raid] for a short-range teleport to get away unscathed.

Killed by trash mobs? No way.

The Dawn Squad truly lived up to their professional reputation—their support was timely. As Chen Zixuan cut into the center of the wolf pack, the frontline led by Dawn’s Light also arrived at the front.

In the rear, archers and mages began bombarding the Forest Wolves en masse.

Chen Zixuan still used the same old method from when she fought the Goblin Boss.

First, use [Silverflash Pierce] to instantly kill one with an opener, then whittle down the other with standard attacks.

The initial part of the plan went smoothly. Chen Zixuan threw her dagger—there was a flash of silver, and before the others even noticed, the Wolf King fell to the ground, a gray-white damage value popping up above its head.

-236!

However, just as she was about to finish off the second Wolf King in close combat, the giant wolf’s right claw suddenly glowed with a faint red light.

The Wolf King’s skill. Chen Zixuan’s pupils constricted slightly.

Only then did she realize her forward momentum had carried her right into the Wolf King’s skill range—just one meter away.

After a brief charge-up, the Wolf King lashed out with a claw, a red streak slicing through the air straight for her chest.

Even if this hit landed, Chen Zixuan would at most suffer a minor flesh wound—her defense and HP were high enough that it never threatened her life.

Still, she didn’t want to get hit. Her pain simulation was set to 100 percent by the system, and it would hurt—a lot.

She also wanted to save [Night Raid] as her trump card, so she couldn’t use it now.

In a flash, Chen Zixuan dropped to her knees, arched her back until it was parallel to the ground, and slid right under the Wolf King’s claws, narrowly dodging the blow.

In the distance, a Sharpshooter player happened to see Chen Zixuan’s dodge and was so shocked that his arrow missed the mark, striking a teammate’s knee instead.

“No way? You can play like that?!”

Chen Zixuan had no time to care about others’ reactions. After dodging the Wolf King’s swipe, she sprang up-nimbly like a panther, leaping onto the Wolf King’s back, aiming for the vulnerable neck joint, and drove her dagger deep into the vital spot!

[Dagger/Short-Blade Mastery] activated! Critical hit—double damage!

-113!

With a single ordinary attack, Chen Zixuan stabbed right into the Wolf King’s artery. The once fully healthy Wolf King was instantly left at death’s door!

Howling in pain, the Wolf King boosted all surrounding Forest Wolves, giving them extra attack and agility stats.

But Chen Zixuan didn’t stop there. She pulled out the dagger and stabbed down hard again, ending the struggling elite monster’s life.

With both Wolf Kings dead, the remaining Forest Wolves posed no threat. The Dawn Squad’s combat prowess was already high—ahead of regular players—and in less than ten seconds, they wiped out the remaining wolves.

“No wonder you can solo kill a world-class boss. You’re seriously strong.”

Looking at the two monster corpses, Dawn’s Light couldn’t help but be impressed as he smiled at Chen Zixuan.

After all, these were two level 5 elite monsters. Even with their squad of more than ten, it would have taken a lot of health potions and time together.

Yet the girl before him had killed both in seconds, without even a scratch to show for it—a rare feat indeed.

Chen Zixuan didn’t respond, just smiled faintly.

They were all adults by now—there was no need to take flattery seriously.

Glancing at the Wolf King corpses at her feet, she said softly, “These monsters aren’t bosses, so whoever did the kill gets the loot, right? No problem?”

An inexplicable intuition told her that these two elites might actually drop something valuable this time.

As I mentioned before, when Zixuan’s in-game the pronouns are she/her…
