This claw attack skill deals damage in three stages, one more than the mutated explosive hound's claw attack, and the damage value is also higher than that of the mutated explosive hound. In just a moment, it took away 240 points of Wang Ming's health.

"Wow, this boss's claw attack damage is so high." Looking at his less than 200 health points, Wang Ming was a little shocked.

Fortunately, this boss's claw attack has a cooldown, so it cannot be used continuously.

Even so, Wang Ming's total health continued to decline.

Because the basic health regeneration potion can only restore 30 points per second, even with Wang Ming's own natural health regeneration rate, Wang Ming's total health will decrease by more than ten points each time he is attacked by the boss.

At this point, Wang Ming's remaining total health was less than 90 points! The boss, on the other hand, still had more than 1,500 points of total health remaining.

"Damn it, it's a bit too much for one person to take on this boss alone."

Wang Ming realized he couldn't kill the boss, so he tried to disengage from the battle.

But looking at the boss he had crippled, Wang Ming felt a pang of reluctance. With a sigh, he finally decided to run away.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Wang Ming's total health dropped by more than ten points.

"Hmph, I'll let you live a little longer. After I kill your kind and plunder their attributes, I'll deal with you later."

Just as Wang Ming was about to escape, he suddenly froze.

Suddenly, the fiery red mark floating beneath the boss's feet began to appear and disappear intermittently.

"This is it, the time for bloodlust is coming!"

Wang Ming was overjoyed, not expecting this turn of events. He immediately stopped his escape and attacked the boss.

After enduring three blows from the boss, the floating marks beneath the boss's feet completely disappeared, returning to their original state.

Wang Ming could clearly sense that the speed of the Burst Dog King had decreased!

"Right now."

“mISS!”

Seeing the boss attacking him, Wang Ming dodged the attack with a quick movement.

"Haha, you little dog, prepare to die!"

Wang Ming shouted and attacked the boss.

Soon the boss's health was reduced to only 220 points, while Wang Ming's health was restored to more than 300 points thanks to the basic health recovery potion.

"Roar~" The Exploding Hound roared and unleashed its Claw Strike skill!

"Hmph, a desperate struggle." This time, Wang Ming did not dodge, but chose to confront the boss head-on.

-80.

-80.

-80.

...

-90!

-63.

-17.

-15.

-16.

-43.

...

+30.

...

"Awoo~" The boss let out a mournful howl and collapsed to the ground, dead.

"Haha, a critical hit!" Wang Ming thought to himself with amusement as he looked at the crimson 90 damage.

In the metaverse, critical hit damage is twice the base damage.

Wang Ming's critical hit rate was less than 1%, but unexpectedly, this attack triggered a critical hit.

"Hehe, I'm blessed with incredible luck!"

Wang Ming sighed, but didn't pay much attention, because the boss didn't have much health to begin with. Even without a critical hit, one more punch would be enough to kill it.

This critical hit was merely icing on the cake.

"System notification: Congratulations, you have defeated the Yellow-rank boss Bursting Dog King. You have gained 2000 experience points, 3 silver coins, 10 merits, and 1 Bursting Dog King's tooth."

"System notification: Your cultivation technique - Soul Devouring has been successfully activated, granting you 3 points of Strength, 3 points of Spirit, 2 points of Agility, and 2 points of Stamina."

Wang Ming is already level 4, and there is no longer any extra experience reward for killing monsters above his level. Even so, his experience points have increased by about 20%.

"10 attribute points, this boss is quite generous, that's almost like getting a level up 2 times."

Then, Wang Ming looked at the items that had exploded on the ground.

"Purple equipment!"

At this moment, in addition to two pieces of equipment glowing yellow, there was another piece of equipment glowing purple on the ground.

Wang Ming then discarded the low-level white-grade equipment in his backpack and picked up the items dropped by the boss. Even so, there were still two pieces of white-grade equipment on the ground.

After picking up the equipment, Wang Ming then looked at his spoils.

First, there's that purple equipment.

Explosive Dagger

Location: Weapon

Type: Dagger

Grade: Unacceptable

Star rating: ★★★

Attack: +24

Strength: +4

Agility: +4

Attack Speed: +5%

Durability: 90/90

Requirement Level: 4

Required Class: Ghost Dancer

"Holy crap! 24 attack points, 8 attribute points, and on top of that, a 5% attack speed bonus! Is this what a 3-star purple gear looks like?!"

Wang Ming's mouth watered as he looked at the Explosive Dagger's attributes.

"Why can't I wear equipment? If I could wear equipment, wouldn't I be even more explosive? Humph, damn Chaos Omniscient, damn bare-handed!"

Although Wang Ming said that, the smile on his lips betrayed his true thoughts.

Just kidding. The Chaos Fist Master, combined with the Soul Devourer, has made Wang Ming a formidable character with high attack and high defense, far surpassing any mere piece of equipment.

Wang Ming then looked at the other items.

Explosive Bow

Location: Weapon

Type: Bow

Grade: Unacceptable

Star rating: ★★

Attack: +14

Strength: +2

Agility: +2

Durability: 70/70

Requirement Level: 4

Required Class: Heavenly Feather Archer

Although the stats of this 2-star Bursting Bow are significantly worse than those of the 3-star Bursting Dagger, its 14 attack and 4 stat points are still quite high at this stage, and it should fetch a good price.

Wang Ming then looked at the last 2-star equipment.

Bursting Helmet

Part: Helmet

Type: Armor - Heavy Armor

Grade: Unacceptable

Star rating: ★★

Defense: +10

Health: +28

Mana: +14

Durability: 70/70

Requirement Level: 4

Required profession: Ruler

As expected of the ruler's equipment, it boasts a defense of up to 10 points and increases health by more than 100 points.

Within the metaverse, heavy armor has the highest attribute value, while light armor, leather armor, and cloth armor are calculated based on the value of heavy armor.

Light armor has 80% of the attribute values ​​of heavy armor.

The attribute values ​​of leather armor are equal to 60% of those of heavy armor.

Cloth armor has 50% of the attribute value of heavy armor.

Therefore, apart from the Blademaster and the Overlord, all other classes can be considered fragile.

After looking at the equipment, Wang Ming then looked at a black bag.

Storage bag (special item)

Rank: Unranked

Specifications: 1x5

Description: After use, it can expand the backpack space by 1x5.

"Good stuff." Compared to other things, Wang Ming even felt that this storage bag was more valuable.

Wang Ming's biggest need right now is storage space. With this storage bag, he can add 5 slots of space and pick up the two whiteboard items on the ground.

Immediately, Wang Ming used the storage bag.

"System notification: You have used a storage bag, increasing your backpack space by 1x5 compartments."

"Hehe." Looking at the enlarged backpack, Wang Ming picked up the two white outfits on the ground.

"Level 4 white equipment can fetch a decent price in the early stages of the game."

"Oh right, there's also a canine tooth."

Exploding Dog King's Teeth

Rank: Unranked

Description: Refining material. This is the sharpest tooth of the Exploding Dog King, and it is said that the blacksmith in the starting village is collecting it.

"Refining materials, this should be the material for making equipment. Hehe, I can extort some money from blacksmith Wang."

Looking at his backpack full of items, Wang Ming stopped fighting monsters and took out a return scroll.

Wang Ming crushed the scroll, and a starlight magic circle appeared beneath his feet. Then, a flash of white light appeared, and Wang Ming was back in the beginner village.
