As it turned out, the Golden Arrow Tiger was a ranged killer that specifically targeted ranged players whenever it could, and out of all our mages, archers and priests, Beiming Xue and Moonlight Stone were the only ones who could take a hit and survive. By the time we took the four Golden Arrow Tigers, we had lost three archers and two mages. It was a poor battle result considering that replenishing our numbers was difficult, and those who were killed couldn’t return until a week later.

Pop!

The last Golden Arrow Tiger we killed dropped a round metal armor helmet. When I picked it up and gave it a look, I saw that it was a Level 125 3-star Outstanding Dark Gold–grade item with Outstanding Property that boosted the user’s Defense by 12%. It was very good to say the least. A short discussion later, I decided to do away with the usual loot distribution rules and passed it to Chaos Moon directly. The tankier she was, the lesser the chance someone in our hundred-man party would die.

We encountered the Golden Arrow Tigers a few more times in packs of five to ten as we continued to march toward the meeting spot. The good news...
