Chapter 72

The complaints of several players echoed across the grassland.

Suddenly— "Look! What are those red lights?"

At that moment, in the vision of several players, beams of red light glow began emerging across the entire Wild Bull Grassland.

If any player with particularly sharp memory were present, they would have noticed that these red lights appeared precisely where Wild Bulls had been slain by players.

As if drawn by some unseen force, the red lights involuntarily flew toward the central region of the Wild Bull Grassland.

"What’s going on? Could it be some treasure appearing?"

"Who cares? Let’s chase after it and find out!"

Across the grassland, players continuously pursued the red lights, all sprinting toward the central area.

As time passed, in the heart of the Wild Bull Grassland, near the ancient tomb, the converging red lights condensed into a massive red energy mass.

As more and more red lights gathered, the silhouette of a Wild Bull gradually took shape at the center of the glow.

The shadow of the bull grew clearer, its body expanding rapidly.

Suddenly— the energy mass exploded violently, revealing a towering Wild Bull, standing as tall as a two-story building.

Its crimson hide shimmered with an eerie red glow, while its pitch-black eyes gleamed with cruel malice.

The red bull swept its gaze across the surrounding players, then let out a deafening roar toward the sky— "MOOOO!"

The deep bellow shook the wilderness, its sound waves even reaching nearby zones.

Players turned their heads toward the source of the noise, curiosity piqued.

"What’s happening? That’s one loud roar!"

At that moment, a notification popped up in the Novice Zone 688 Chat Area:

"Elite Monster Savage Bull Commander has spawned in the central region of Wild Bull Grassland. Defeating it grants massive Experience Points and a high chance of obtaining a golden set. Players are encouraged to participate! Upon its defeat, Wild Bull Grassland monsters will respawn!"

"Holy crap, an Elite Monster! Finally, we get to see one!"

"According to the system, not only does it give tons of EXP, but also a golden set! Damn, aside from the blue gear from village quests, equipment drops in the wild are super rare. And now we’re getting a golden set? Unbelievable!"

"Rewards and difficulty must be proportional. I doubt it’ll be easy to kill."

"Haha, bro, you’re overthinking it. Remember that player Qin Han? He took down the Golden Eagle at level zero. This Elite Monster can’t be that impressive."

"It’s just an Elite version of a Wild Bull. It can’t be that strong. With so many of us, we can just overwhelm it with numbers."

"Charge, brothers! First come, first served!"

In an instant, countless players swarmed toward the Wild Bull Grassland.

Meanwhile, at the center of the grassland, nearly a hundred players had already surrounded the Savage Bull Commander.

Most of them had been grinding near the ancient tomb and rushed out immediately upon hearing the news.

Staring at the colossal beast, their hearts wavered with unease.

"It’s so huge… like some ancient monstrosity. Can we really take it down?"

"M-maybe?"

"Should we try? It might just be bluffing with its size."

"Sounds reasonable. Wanna go first?"

"No, no way, how about we stick together?"

Just as the players hesitated, the Savage Bull Commander went berserk. It targeted the densest group of players, kicked off with its hind legs, and charged like a cannonball.

Boom!

Several players couldn’t dodge in time and were sent flying over 10 meters.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

One after another, players crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust. Most of them were only Level 1 or 2, with pitifully low HP to begin with—this single charge wiped out their health bars entirely.

"They’re dead! They’re dead!"

A sharp-eyed player glanced over and was instantly terrified out of his wits.

"Run! Run!"

"That bull is way too strong, there’s no way to fight it!"

"Split up and scatter!"

Under the threat of death, the players fled in all directions. Seeing the scattered players, the Savage Bull Commander hesitated for a brief moment before randomly picking one and giving chase.
