The damage dealt by Ice Spike to the Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS is far less than that of Earth Spike or Explosive Arrow.

However, the freezing effect brought by the ice spike is unmatched by the other two skills.

The spot where the ice spike lands on the berserk rhino monster BOSS will quickly create a large patch of thin ice. Although this thin ice will shatter quickly due to the extreme toughness brought by its own rank.

However, Lin Hanchuan could not stop him from throwing out eight weapons every second, which made the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS seem immune to the freezing effect, but in reality, it was affected by the slowing effect.

When walking, the body moves in a staggering manner.

It's like the frames have been skipped.

It has a slightly comedic element, which made many players laugh out loud.

"Quantitative change led to qualitative change!"

"It has to be said that, with the high frequency of a mage's attacks, the effect of a skill with no cooldown is even more terrifying than some high-level skills."

"By now, Arakawa Haku has made at least two hundred moves and hasn't even drunk a single bottle of blue potion. Arakawa Haku must possess infinite blue."

"This is practically a universally accepted fact, so why bother with concrete evidence?"

"The same berserk rhinoceros boss is completely different in the hands of others and in the hands of Arakawa White Owl. The former is extremely fierce, killing anyone who touches it. The latter is extremely weak, being toyed with."

……

Amidst the noise.

Roar! !

The berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS roared, its eyes, as big as copper bells, fixed on Lin Hanchuan, its body radiating a faint white light.

An enhanced version of the Fearless Charge?
Lin Hanchuan focused his attention slightly, observing the current state of the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS.

Fearless Charge is a skill commonly found on tank-type monsters. When activated, it greatly increases movement speed for a short period of time and grants immunity to some control skills.

Once the charge is initiated, it will deal high damage to targets it hits along the way and trigger a knockback effect.

The Berserk Rhino Monster boss previously used Fearless Charge to sweep away players who were blocking its return to the Radiant Forest.

There's also an enhanced version of the Fearless Charge.

However, the effects of the enhanced version of Fearless Charge vary depending on the monster; some enhance movement speed, while others enhance attack power, and so on.

The enhanced version of the Fearless Charge from the Rampaging Rhino Monster BOSS, according to forum posts, is a strong target lock.

In other words, within its charging range, its direction of movement during the charge follows the movement of the target.

The best way to break free is to quickly escape its attack range, either by teleporting, taking to the air, or going underground.

Lin Hanchuan, who was holding up an infinite barrier, didn't even consider choosing one of them.

The current barrier can withstand all attacks from the berserk rhino monster BOSS.

In other words, as long as the barrier remains intact.

Lin Hanchuan will be able to keep it going.

Roar! !

With a roar, the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS, its body glowing white, charged straight at Lin Hanchuan.

The berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS seemed to be enveloped in a white light shield, and wherever it passed, the bluestone slabs shattered. The strong wind generated by its body's movement stirred up gravel and dead leaves.

Lin Hanchuan moved quickly to the right, and the charging berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS immediately followed suit, adjusting its direction of movement.

Some players at the scene immediately understood.

"The Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS used an enhanced version of Fearless Charge to lock onto Arakawa White Owl. No matter how he moved after that, he had no way to escape the BOSS's attack range."

"A strong lock-on is so strong that even an assassin can't dodge it, let alone a mage."

"Arakawa White Owl should be able to withstand it, but he'll be thrown away!"

"Honestly, my worldview is a bit shattered. A level 22 mage going head-to-head with a berserk rhino monster BOSS, how are we tanks supposed to play?"

Under everyone's gaze.

boom! !

Lin Hanchuan finally had a close encounter with the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS, with its huge rhinoceros horn heavily pressing against his chest.

【-10241! 】

As Lin Hanchuan watched helplessly as cracks appeared on the barrier, he was thrown through the air as if hit by a heavy truck, his body tracing a parabola in mid-air.

The berserk rhino monster BOSS, the sky, the player, underwear, weeds.

The scenery reflected in the pupils changed rapidly within just two seconds.

boom! !

Lin Hanchuan crashed heavily to the ground.

After immediately resetting the Infinite Barrier, Lin Hanchuan acted as if nothing had happened, walking past the crowd in front of him and gazing at the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS that was going berserk inside.

"Boss, are you alright?"

Some players inquired about Lin Hanchuan with concern.

Lin Hanchuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing!"

Carrying his staff, he continued toward the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS.

The crowd made way.

They had only gone halfway when the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS saw Lin Hanchuan. Its eyes widened, and it roared at Lin Hanchuan in disbelief.

Lin Hanchuan waved his staff.

Bang bang bang! !

Keep hitting it with the ice pick.

Two more minutes and he'll no longer be a real man.

Lin Hanchuan was making the most of his time.

To be honest, with unlimited mana, skills with no cooldown are still the most satisfying.

Bang bang bang! !

……

The ice spikes continued to hit the berserk rhino monster BOSS.

The surrounding players quickly scattered, making way for Lin Hanchuan and the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS, while also fearing that the battle would affect them.

Lin Hanchuan could withstand the attacks of the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS, but they couldn't. Even a full-health tank would die instantly upon contact, with no room for maneuver.

When the berserk rhino monster boss had one-third of its health remaining, it launched a second, enhanced version of its fearless charge.

The results this time were no different from the last time.

After being knocked away, Lin Hanchuan appeared in front of the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS as if nothing had happened, and continued to attack with ice spikes.

With one-fifth of its health remaining, the berserk rhino boss, having resigned itself to its fate, turned and charged toward the Radiant Forest.

However, with Lin Hanchuan continuously following up with ice spikes, his movement speed was difficult to increase, and even his escape was halting.

Lin Hanchuan could keep up with it if he sped up a little.

"Less than one-tenth remains!"

The onlookers followed closely, watching the health bar of the berserk rhino monster BOSS.

"Less than 5% left!"

Some people in the crowd were already itching to make a move.

Some players began cautiously approaching, preparing to steal the monster.

Others simply vanished from their spot, entering stealth mode and silently approaching the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS.

"Only three percent left!"

Cao Renjie gave Long Xiaochen a reminder.

Long Xiaochen immediately had the four elves stand in four different directions from the Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS, and said loudly at the same time.

"Our captain is about to take down this berserk rhino monster boss. I hope everyone can just watch from the sidelines and not try to steal it."

"Just in case, any player who enters my spirit's protective range will be subjected to indiscriminate attacks."

"Also, brothers with ranged attack capabilities, please control the range of your skill release a little. You must not accidentally land your skills on the Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS."

"Everyone here is a sensible person, so I don't need to say anything more."

The Heavenly Path Team is determined to kill this berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS; Long Xiaochen will not allow anyone else to get a piece of it.

But with the Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS's health almost depleted, those eager players were naturally not going to give up just because of a few words from Long Xiaochen.

"Ouch! Who pushed me?!"

Then someone started causing trouble!

A warrior suddenly burst out from the crowd and broke into the area protected by the four elves.

"laugh!!"

"boom!!"

Before the opponent could even gain a foothold, the four spirits attacked simultaneously, showing no mercy.

They instantly killed that warrior player.

At the same time, Long Xiaochen entered a red name status.

"Captain, someone's starting to cause trouble!" Long Xiaochen said to Lin Hanchuan.

As the Rampaging Rhino Monster BOSS's health continued to drop, the entire Heavenly Path Team closely followed Lin Hanchuan, ready to respond to any unexpected situations.

Lin Hanchuan glanced back at Long Xiaochen and nodded. At the same time, a gray light suddenly struck the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS from the crowd.

Immediately following, a thick fog appeared centered on the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS, so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Thick fog enveloped the raging rhinoceros monster BOSS, the Heavenly Path Squad, and the elves guarding the four different locations.

As soon as the fog rolled in, the players outside got excited. A dense barrage of attacks rained down from all directions, aimlessly pounding into the area, hoping to take their chances of killing the berserk rhinoceros monster boss and securing the first kill of a wild boss in Zone 9.

But they soon discovered something.

In the thick fog, an enormous barrier appeared out of nowhere. Countless attacks pounded against the barrier, but none could budge it in the slightest.

At the same time, the sound of an erhu (a two-stringed bowed instrument) could be heard coming from the thick fog.

“la-mi-sol-la-mi-sol…”

That's the sound of horse racing.

Semi-transparent horses galloped and tumbled in the thick fog, quickly breaking through the fog and the barrier, rushing towards the players in all directions.

The moment their bodies were pierced by the horse, the players found themselves unable to move an inch, as if they had been frozen in place.

The next moment, a scene resembling thousands of sparks bursting forth appeared in the thick fog, accompanied by exclamations from the players.

"Holy crap! They broke my stealth with an area-of-effect skill!"

"We've been discovered! We've been discovered!"

"It's over, it's over, the musician has me pinned down, I can't move."

"Damn it, isn't the musician a bit too overpowered? I can't move at all!"

Lin Hanchuan released his Soul Perception and Starfire, large-area skills that could forcibly break the stealth status of players like assassins and thieves, putting everyone into a state where they could be perceived by souls.

"There are quite a few people, more than thirty!"

Lin Hanchuan had no intention of letting them go, and raised his hand to wave his staff.

Bang bang bang! !

One after another, explosive arrows flew out.

The system notification sound kept ringing out as the enemy was killed.

After all the players within his soul perception range died, Lin Hanchuan went directly to the side of the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS and activated level suppression.

I waited patiently for a while.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the space to the right of the Rampaging Rhino Monster BOSS. The moment a player poked their head out, Lin Hanchuan hurled a large fireball at their face.

Six more were killed!
Wait for the fog to dissipate.

Centered around the Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS, the ground was littered with player corpses, lying haphazardly. Judging from their appearance, they were all players whose names could be found on various leaderboards.

And the berserk rhino monster BOSS.

At this moment, it still had less than one percent of its health remaining, seemingly resigned to its fate, lying there quietly waiting for death.

In front of everyone.

Lin Hanchuan waved his staff.

boom! !

"-685!"

An explosive arrow detonated on the berserk rhino monster boss, wiping out the remaining health points in its health bar.

As soon as the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS died, a large amount of loot gushed out like a fountain, and at the same time, the system message notification sounded in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Ding! Successfully killed the level 36 Commander-level Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS, gaining 10 base experience points. This is the first kill, so an additional 10 experience points are awarded. Killing a monster 14 levels higher grants an additional 14 experience points!"

A berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS gave Lin Hanchuan 34 experience points. This time, Lin Hanchuan killed it solo, not in a team.

So all 34 experience points went into Lin Hanchuan's own pocket, and the level-up notification sound rang out.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully reached level 23, triggering the Berserker Archmage class trait: base attributes +3, free attributes +6, and intelligence +1!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully leveled up to level 24..."

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully leveled up to level 25..."

After rising three levels in a row, he finally surpassed Long Xiaochen and Cao Renjie by one level and reached the same level as Long Xiaoyue.

Before Lin Hanchuan had a chance to add any points.

The system voice sounded again.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully become the first player in the Ninth District to kill a wild BOSS. You have received the following rewards: 2000 reputation points, 3 gold coins, a purple ID, a map of the Radiant Forest area, an S-level Radiant Forest pass, and a Gatherer Job Scroll. We will be announcing your achievement to the entire district soon."

"Ding! Attention all players in the region. Congratulations to player 'Wangyue City', Huangchuan Baixiao, for becoming the first player in this region to kill a wild BOSS."

"Ding! Attention all players in the region..."

In the system's overall announcement.

Lin Hanchuan has already started checking the rewards.

A total of six rewards were given.

They were all very generous.

You get 2,000 reputation points at once, while you only get 500 for the first clear of a dungeon.

Thirty thousand gold coins is a huge sum of money these days, especially for ordinary players.

Lin Hanchuan thought the purple ID was the most valuable. After players entered the descent, both the ID displayed above their heads and the ID displayed in their friend list were black.

To obtain other colors, you can only wait for system rewards, which is quite difficult.

For example, the Heavenly Path Squad had colored IDs because it was the first squad established in the Ninth District.

I got my purple ID after defeating the first wild BOSS in the ninth district.

Unable to obtain IDs of other colors, players often use their red-named IDs after killing someone as a VIP effect to show off.

After changing his ID color to purple, Lin Hanchuan took out three items from his backpack.

Two of them are related to Radiant Forest.

【Radiant Forest Area Map】: This map details the geography of 30% of the Radiant Forest area.

The importance of maps goes without saying.

When entering an unfamiliar area, the first thing we often do is explore.

Maps can directly help players complete this task in advance.

The Glorious Forest is currently the main activity area for players after their second job advancement. It is a very large area. Lin Hanchuan looked at this map, which records 30% of the map area, and it mainly starts from the edge and moves inward.

The map mainly divides the terrain and the territories of major monsters and intelligent races. However, it does not show the locations of medicinal plants or the distribution of mines, which players will need to find on their own.

[S-Rank Radiant Forest Pass]: Holding this pass allows entry into the territories of most intelligent races within the Radiant Forest.

It is worth mentioning the intelligent races here.

In the Advent, in addition to humans, intelligent beings such as dwarves, elves, and orcs are also called intelligent races, and they have their own fixed territories.

It exists in the Radiant Forest.

A pass is a permit to enter their territory.

If not, entering their territory will be seen as a provocation, an enemy, etc., and you will be expelled by intelligent races.

Passes are also tiered.

The higher your level, the more racial territories you can enter in that area, and they will treat you as a guest.

If you want to cooperate with these races, hire them, or buy their products, the higher your pass level, the better.

[Gatherer Job Scroll]: After use, you will obtain the life profession - Gatherer!

[Gatherer]: A profession that focuses on gathering. After learning it, you can quickly gather the items you need.

As the name suggests, the ability to gather resources is acquired by players after learning the skill of a gatherer.

Besides collecting medicinal herbs and items dropped by wild monsters, you can also collect the corpses of wild monsters, often managing to collect important parts of the monsters and store them in your storage space.

This is also one of the skills that Lin Hanchuan needs most right now.

Picking up the loot dropped by monsters is really troublesome because you have to collect them one by one.

Lin Hanchuan immediately began studying.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully become a novice gatherer!"

[Junior Gatherer]: Has basic gathering skills and can gather a small number of items at a time.

Like all life professions, the gathering profession has ten levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, top, master, grandmaster, great grandmaster, craftsman, great craftsman, and god.

Next up is the corpse of the Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS and his loot.

While Lin Hanchuan was focused on his gains, in the Resurrection Square of Wangyue City, a player stared in disbelief at the information in the server-wide announcement on the panel, recalling the battle that had just taken place.

He was fully prepared to steal the monster, even planning to confront Lin Hanchuan head-on while taking the opportunity to kill the Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS.

Everything was prepared perfectly.

While some people were making their move, he used a fog scroll on the berserk rhinoceros monster BOSS, releasing dense smoke that prompted those players who had ideas but dared not act to immediately take action and disrupt Lin Hanchuan and his group's defenses.

Then, take the opportunity to use a teleportation skill to directly enter the side of the berserk rhino monster BOSS, seize the opportunity, and kill it in one blow.

That's how everything was arranged.

As soon as the fog appeared, he saw the players around him excitedly throwing skills into it, so he immediately activated his teleportation and teleported to the side of the berserk rhino monster BOSS.

I deliberately stayed in the void near the Berserk Rhino Monster BOSS's spatial coordinates until the skill's duration was at its limit before coming out.

But I didn't expect it.

As soon as he appeared, he was instantly killed by Lin Hanchuan.

As he was thinking, he suddenly smiled.

"As expected of my captain!"

"It has become so powerful that I can't even imagine it."

"They would be very happy to hear this news!"
