Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

The crimson ring of fire seemed to contain the power of rules; with just a gentle ripple, it forcefully pushed away the giant earth bear, which was over three meters tall!

Jiang Yan seized the opportunity to chant a chain of lightning!

boom!

-8782!

A thick bolt of lightning struck the giant earth bear's head, causing it to roar in pain and charge at Jiang Yan once more.

So fierce?

Jiang Yan hurriedly began to move into position.

But after taking only a few steps, another sharp thorn appeared under his feet. Fortunately, Jiang Yan was prepared and immediately rolled to the side to avoid the thorn.

But this delay allowed the Giant Earth Bear to rush right up!

With two slaps, Jiang Yan's head instantly displayed a high damage of -612 to -613!

Jiang Yan wasn't one to passively take a beating. The moment he was struck by the bear's paw, he finished chanting his lightning spell, which landed on the giant earth bear's head with a bang. But this time it didn't crit, dealing only -2045 skill damage!

"I refuse to believe it!" Jiang Yan quickly swallowed a low-level Blood Demon Pill (restores 700 points of health and mana per second for 5 seconds), and jumped up from the ground with a somersault. While chanting Chain Lightning, he quickly retreated away from the Giant Earth Bear.

"Roar!" The giant earth bear chased after it relentlessly, roaring repeatedly!

Chain lightning!

boom!

-8782!

Under the crimson critical strike damage, the Mighty Earth Bear let out a mournful howl and collapsed to its death.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Giant Earth Bear, a feat beyond their level! Experience +480]

The ground glittered with silver light, revealing a pile of silver coins and a piece of silver equipment.

Jiang Yan picked up the silver coin and checked the equipment's attributes.

【Giant Earth Bear's Ironblood Bracers】(Silver): Defense +17, HP +10%, Requirement: Warrior!

"Top-notch!!" Jiang Yan saw the +10% HP attribute on the wristband and immediately thought of Lei Hu!

This guy has 1800 HP. Wearing this bracer will instantly boost his HP to over 2000!

After packing up his equipment, Jiang Yan continued on his way.

The magic forest is vast, but there aren't many monsters; you might walk for several minutes before encountering one.

Jiang Yan traveled along the way, fighting monsters as he went, while also looking around for clues to the quest.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

From the forest deer to the giant earth bear, ice wolf, and fire leopard, as Jiang Yan ventured deeper into the magic forest, the monsters he encountered became increasingly higher in level and stronger. Even ordinary monsters were proving difficult for him!

"That's not right."

Jiang Yan looked at the dim forest around him, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

The difficulty of this task was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Based on the experience gained from monsters, the Giant Earth Bear should be level 26, the Ice Wolf level 28, and the Flame Leopard level 30!

He was just a level 19 mage, how could the city lord of Fuxi City possibly give him a quest involving level 30 monsters?

"Something must be wrong!"

After careful consideration, Jiang Yan concluded that the only possibility was that woman number 9527.

"Could it be that she gave me a false clue?"

Or……

What was the content of that letter?

It's all fake, don't believe it... don't believe anyone?

That woman?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan felt a chill run down his spine, because he suddenly remembered a detail!

He remembered that the woman took the letter out of her bosom. Logically, the letter should have been warm from the woman's touch, but when Jiang Yan took it, he felt that the envelope was ice cold!

That woman... was she dead?

Jiang Yan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly turned back to Fuxi City!

As soon as he turned around, he saw a man in black robes standing behind him, only about a meter away!

A chill instantly surged from his spine straight up to the back of his head, freezing him so that he couldn't move!

"Human, you shouldn't have looked back." The man in black robes slowly raised his head, revealing a wrinkled, aged face.

The face was so aged that it was impossible to tell if it was male or female; only the eyes were as black as ink, with no whites, as if they had been soaked in ink.

"Who are you?!" Jiang Yan quickly retreated while checking the attributes of the man in black robes.

Lich Jessica (Unique): Possesses powerful dual resistances.

grade:*****

Health Points: **********

Skill:**************************

"Dark Gold BOSS?!" Jiang Yan's pupils shrank.

"Indeed, only death is the best destination for mankind!" The lich Jessica slowly raised her right hand, and a pale, bony index finger emerged from beneath her wide black robe.

Black light condensed at his fingertips, instantly transforming into a black laser beam that shot furiously towards Jiang Yan!

Jiang Yan was startled and quickly moved to the left to avoid the danger.

But as soon as he took a step, he suddenly heard a sharp, piercing scream!

The scream burrowed into Jiang Yan's mind like a living thing, bringing the most terrifying images deep in his mind to life!

In that instant, Jiang Yan froze on the spot, unable to move, while fixed damage of -500-500 kept appearing above his head!

At the same time, the black laser shot from the lich Jessica's index finger struck Jiang Yan's head with a bang!

-2000!

The terrifying damage instantly caused Jiang Yan's health and mana bars to plummet to rock bottom!

In just two seconds, Jiang Yan's body turned into white light and flew away!

[Ding! Player has been killed by the Lich Jessica, losing current level experience points and dropping 15 Beginner Magic Pills]

Fuxi City!

Jiang Yan walked out of the resurrection point with a pale face, his mind still filled with the bizarre attack methods of the lich Jessica.

"The Dark Gold BOSS is terrifying!" Jiang Yan glanced at his level: lv19 (0/690000)

I was just a little short of reaching level 20, but I was wiped out by a single finger!

Thankfully, I only lost 15 low-level magic pills. If I had lost my gold-tier equipment, that would have been a disaster!

However, the most urgent task is to go to number 9527 and find that woman!

Jiang Yan set off in a hurry, but he was stopped by a group of city guards before he had gone far!

"Is this Mr. Jiang? The city lord requests your presence!" The captain of the guards looked at Jiang Yan with a solemn expression, his eyes treating him like a criminal!

A sudden unease flashed through Jiang Yan's heart, but there was no point in saying anything more to the captain of the guards at the moment, so he could only follow him to the city lord's mansion.

"Lord, what has happened?"

Inside the study, Jiang Yan saw the city lord, whose expression was equally solemn.

"Young friend Jiang, what... have you done?" The city lord asked instead of answering, staring at him with sharp eyes.

Jiang Yan grew increasingly uneasy. Quickly gathering his thoughts, he said, "Following the city lord's instructions, I went to number 9527 and found a woman. She said her husband went on a mission and his entire army was wiped out. An owl delivered her husband's last letter. Her son, after reading the letter, kept mentioning the Magic Forest and went there that very night, never to return. Based on the clues she provided, I rushed to the Magic Forest, but the monsters I encountered were getting increasingly stronger. I sensed something was wrong and wanted to turn back, but as soon as I turned around, I encountered a lich! His name is Jessica!"

"Jessica?" The city lord frowned slightly. "It's that newly promoted Dark Gold Lich from the Abyss!"

"Does the city lord know about it?" Jiang Yan wanted to ask for more information, but the city lord clearly didn't want to say more.

"Let's get back to the main topic." The city lord's expression relaxed considerably. "The woman you saw in 9527 was named Catherine! Five hours ago, some citizens saw you meeting with Catherine. After you left, Catherine died. The priest examined her and found that her time of death was exactly a few minutes after you left! Everyone suspects that you killed Catherine!"

"It wasn't me!" Jiang Yan hurriedly said, "When that woman, Catherine, took the letter from her bosom and handed it to me, I noticed the envelope was cold. I suspect she was already dead at that moment!"

"That's just your side of the story, and besides, Catherine has no son," the city lord said.
