It looked inspiring, but Lu Li was suffering from things that he couldn't quite say .
The hardest part wasn't how fast the Boss moved or its strength, but rather, the mud that was constantly stirred up by his four hooves .
A slight mistake could mean the end .
Even though he was focused entirely on escaping, Lu Li knew that his chances of survival weren't too great .
It was just one death anyway .
However, he didn't want to give up until the very end .
"Damn it, save our boss!" a player shouted as he rushed back with all the Ruling Sword members behind him .
No one backed out!
"My ****, what are you guys doing? Get back there!" Lu Li yelled angrily in the team channel .
He was truly shocked; did these guys think that levelling was easy, or did they truly expect to save him?
However, none of them paid attention to him . Even those who usually never disobeyed him ignored him .
They all raised their weapons with bloodshot eyes and raced past Lu Li towards the Boss .
Foolish!
Lu Li cursed as he tried to run faster . He would only have a shot of saving a few of them if he managed to escape from the mud .
He cursed, but his eyes watered . It was hard to be rational when so many people were involved; they were bound to attempt things without considering the results first .
This was exactly how friendships were built in games .
When you were having trouble with a quest, they would immediately come over to help . When you were short on gold, they would sell their possessions to help you . When you were frustrated and angry, they would be there with a listening ear .
The boss almost caught up to Lu Li .
It had the absolute advantage in the mud, but it was constantly being attacked . It wanted to focus on the little panther that was running around, but it couldn't ignore the attack from hundreds of people either .
The Boss finally couldn't stand it anymore and sprayed an attack towards them, killing around a dozen players instantly .
This was so satisfying that it couldn't help but attack again .
Lu Li turned around just in time to see another dozen of his team members become a flash of white . He had the urge to turn back, but he had to consider why his team members had died in the first place .
He had already scanned the Attributes of the item the moment he took it out of the box . This item wasn't for him, or rather, it wasn't for any class, but Lu Li had to take it .
Regardless of the price!
The Troll elder was right; this was a precious item indeed . It was even more valuable than the Assassin gear .
The Assassin Gear wasn't suitable for many situations, but the item that currently rested in his bag was an entirely different story .
It was an exquisite war flag! Lu Li couldn't believe his eyes when he saw it .
Vol'jin War Flag (Special): Places a Vol'jin War Flag that boosts Attack and Defense of team members within 100 yards by 50% . Lasts for 60 seconds . Regenerates 5% of maximum health every two seconds for allies, lasts for 30 seconds . Cooldown 6 hours . Drops upon death .
This war flag was an item that major guilds would fight over, even three years after Dawn's release .
A 50% boost in Attack and Defense was already excellent, but it affected all allies within a 100-yard radius .
This was large enough to fit an entire one-hundred man team .
Group healing was also part of the special effect, which made it even more powerful .
Vol'jin was the new leader of the Darkspear tribe, but like the other trolls from the Darkspear tribe, he lived in the Stranglethorn Vale, north of Azeroth .
This was likely the reason why the flag was in the hands of the Troll elde . r
Vol'jin was not to be underestimated, even though Trolls were below Tauren in the newly-formed Horde faction .
Vol'jin was famous for his constructive suggestions to Thrall, the Warchief .
While he couldn't contend against people like Thrall and Malfurion, an NPC like this was already a legend for players at the current stage of the game .
Lu Li had initially thought that the item contained within the chest was simply a Gold or Dark Gold equip, but even a Legendary equip wouldn't surprise him as much as this flag did .
Of course, all flags shared the same problem – they dropped upon death .
If you died with this flag in your bag, it would be lost . Unless, of course, if your team members were there to pick it up for you, or if you could pick it up before your enemies or the System claimed it .
This war flag was far too important for Ruling Sword at this stage . Lu Li had to grit his teeth and not look back at his team members .
When the System alerted him that he had left battle, he turned back and saw the Boss in the distance, standing in the horrific mess that it had caused .
None of his team members survived .
Because of this, Lu Li wasn't as excited as he would have been . He only felt the weight of the flag in his bag, dripping with the blood of his team members .
Fortunately, he could sneak back after the Boss was gone, and cast a Revive on a healer .
His dead team members were quickly revived and the equipment that had been dropped were collected . Their experience penalty was also reduced by half .
