Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
I immediately rushed forward and used Total Annihilation on the Troll Beast Tamer!
“2203！”
“2471！”
“2368！”
Against this cloth armor, my super high attack power was incomparably strong. Just one Total Annihilation was enough to take away almost half of the opponent's health!
The Flame Spear danced wildly, and the next skill, [Whirlwind Slash] and [Shield Breaker Slash], arrived in an instant!
With two "pa pa" sounds, golden light flashed, and the Flame Spear instantly descended upon the Troll Summoner's frail body with unstoppable power!
“3491！”
“4278！”
The Troll Summoner let out a pained groan and fell to the ground. The Storm Wolf that had raised its claws to attack me also gradually faded away. Two experience points came into my hands at the same time!
I rubbed my eyes to make sure that my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. It really was real!
With 1213 Attack Power against this 180-point Defense, it was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!
Moreover, the additional effect of the Flame Spear was to increase the power of physical attacks by 25%. This made it even easier to explain. If this Troll Summoner had around 500 defense, then my attack wouldn't be able to deal more than 2000 damage. It was precisely because of the difference in attack and defense that resulted in the existence of such a terrifying 4278 damage number!
I opened the quest list. As expected, the details of the quest showed that all the Dark Spearmen had been killed, and there were only three Troll Summoners left!
I faintly smiled and quietly approached the other Troll Summoner.
Everything was the same as before. I charged forward and launched an attack. In almost five seconds, the poor cloth-armored monster let out a groan and turned into experience along with its pet.
In less than two minutes, I arrived in front of the last Troll Summoner. Just as I was about to attack, this Troll Summoner had already discovered my presence. He immediately began to charge his magic. When I rushed in front of him, a black ball of light had already flown out!
Puchi!
My whole body ached. My health had already dropped by 894 points!
Damn, magic attack, the eternal pain of a warrior!
Shua shua shua, I killed this Troll Summoner with a few shots. The Storm Wolf also quickly disappeared. At the same time, with a "pa ta", a staff fell to the ground — [Dark Light Staff] (Silver Tier)
Magic Attack: 120-185
Intelligence: + 12
Stamina: + 5
Additional: Increases user's spell damage by 1%
Level Requirement: 45
(Unappraised)
…
It was a pretty good magic attack. He threw it directly into his bag and set up a stall in Twilight City.
At this moment, I looked at the tents seriously. If I wasn't mistaken, the commander of the Dark Army should be in one of these tents.
He stretched out his Roaring Flame Spear and pushed aside the straw curtain, only to see that it was empty inside. There was only a broken straw mat and an old box.
Hmm?
A box!
He stepped inside. There was an iron lock on the box, and it couldn't be opened.
I wasn't a bandit, so I couldn't deal with the locksmith. Thus, I swung my Raging Flame Spear down. "Peng!" Under the sharp tip of the spear, the iron lock broke into pieces!
He excitedly opened the box, only to find that there was only a sparkling blue gem inside.
[Exquisite Gem]
Level: 1
Effect: Increases the defense of the breastplate by 20 points, consumes one slot
…
Damn, it was actually a gem that increased defense by 20 points, good stuff!
Everyone knew that Mages had poor defense. Even high level robes couldn't add much physical defense. As such, the gem was even more important. After all, the 20 defense was real.
I looked down at my Fearless Chest Armor. This Gold-grade metal armor didn't have a groove at all, so it would be impractical to carve one out myself. Therefore, I tossed the Ling Long Gem into my bag. I'll save it for later when I get some high-grade equipment. It'll definitely come in handy.
Thus, I walked out of this tent and entered the second tent. In the end, it was still empty. There was only a similar old chest, and it was precisely this chest that I had wanted!
"Peng!"
My Roaring Flame Spear destroyed the iron lock again. This box actually contained a black gem!
[Flying Feather Gem]
Level: 1
Effect: Increases movement speed by 2%, consumes one slot
… …
I laughed out loud. Good stuff!
It actually increased movement speed by 2%. This was a great gem for PK. I could use it myself in the future, and even if I sold it, I could still get rich!
Thus, I happily put away the Flying Feather Gem and continued my treasure hunt!
The third tent didn't disappoint me. Clearly, I was the first player to arrive here. The box was undamaged, and after I smashed it open, I saw a snow-white gem lying inside — [Melting Snow Gem] Level: 1
Effect: Increases Magic Attack by 10 points, consumes one slot
… …
Haha, I finally got this gem!
A gem that increased Magic Attack was undoubtedly a hot item because mages relied on it to level up and burn mobs!
I still remembered that Ling Yue's Dark Gold – grade Snow Goddess Scepter had a slot, so I could give this Melting Snow Gem to her. 10 Magic Attack wasn't bad either.
This time, I didn't think of buying this gem for a thousand or eight hundred RMB for Ling Yue because I believed that if Ling Yue got the gem I needed, she would also give it to me without asking for compensation. This way, our Xue Yue Studio would be like a team, and it would be worthy of the words "Eternal Snow Moon, Unhindered Under the Heavens" in the studio's hall!
My bag now had three more gems. Although they were all Rank 1 gems, these rare items still made me excited. I quickly ran to the fourth tent. If I wasn't mistaken, the gem in this tent was the Blaze Gem that increased physical attack. Although my weapon was already embedded with Rank 1 and Rank 2 gems, it was always better to sell one more gem for money. High-level goods like the Blaze Gem, as long as it was an expert, they would definitely pay a high price for it. It definitely had the potential to increase in value!
I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth. The moment I lifted the grass curtain, I was caught off guard and suffered a sneak attack!
"Bang!"
A sharp sword drew a deep scar on my chest, and my entire body was sent flying far away.
“984！”
The nearly 1000 damage number shocked me. My physical defense was as high as 700, and I actually lost so much HP. This opponent's attack power was just too terrifying!
I looked up and saw a boss in black armor standing at the entrance of the tent. This boss was a dark military officer with a gloomy expression. He held a shining broadsword in his hand, and a fiery red cape fluttered behind him — [Dark Commander] (Gold Rank Boss)
Level: 65
Attack: 750 ~ 900
Defense: 500
Health: 250000
Passive: The evil Elder of Darkness has demonized human military officers, turning them into Slaves of Darkness. These Dark Commanders become junior officers of the Army of Darkness. They have terrifying strength, and when they swing their dark swords, they can cause fear in the hearts of others …
I was stunned, but then I smiled. What a Level 65 Gold Rank Boss!
His attack was as high as 900, and his defense was 500. But what did that count for? My attack and defense were higher than his. It was just that my HP was much lower, about 1/67 of his …
I quickly swallowed a health potion, and immediately stood up. Before the opponent's next sword came, I shook my Flame Spear from afar. The attack range of a spear was obviously greater than that of a longsword, so I immediately used [Ice Wind Pierce]. Amidst the snow and ice, the Dark Commander was covered in a layer of frost, and I quickly used [Total Annihilation] and [Shield Breaker Slash]!
“1492！”
“1547！”
“2803！”
Without a doubt, [Shield Breaker Slash] had become my ultimate skill. Its attack was super strong, and whether it was against a mage's shield or a warrior's high defense, [Shield Breaker Slash] would have a miraculous effect. However, [Shield Breaker Slash]'s cooldown was slightly longer, and it could only be used once every 10 seconds. Hopefully, after my level increased, the cooldown would be shortened!
After I used [Whirlwind Slash] again and dealt 2000 damage to the enemy, I immediately retreated a little. [Ice Wind Pierce]'s Freeze effect only lasted 15 seconds!
After the skill's cooldown was over, I rushed forward again, and used all the skills I could use in one go. Then, I quickly retreated. I took out my Star Chasing Bow, and switched to [Ice Arrow] and [Shield Breaker Arrow] to attack. This was the only way to maximize my damage!
The Dark Commander finally became angry after being trampled on like this. It swung its longsword, and a black light suddenly burrowed into my chest. I immediately felt a sharp pain!
Ding ~!
Combat Log: You have been hit by the Dark Commander's skill, [Dark Light]. You have lost 1784 HP!
… …
Holy shit, it's actually a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts!
I turned pale with fright. If it hit me again, I'd definitely be dead!
Thankfully, this [Dark Light]'s cooldown wasn't short. After a long time, the Dark Commander didn't use it again. This was good. I slowly replenished my HP with a health potion, and continued to use all kinds of slowing skills to trample on this Gold-rank boss. With the help of the Dark Gold – grade Blaze Spear and several Gold-grade equipment, it wasn't too much of a problem for me to trample on this boss.
About twenty minutes later, this sullen Gold-rank boss finally lost its last sliver of HP. After letting out a mournful wail, it softly collapsed to the ground, dropping a pile of gold and a piece of equipment.
I quickly walked forward and picked up the quest item, the boss's head. Then, I counted the gold it dropped. 325. Pretty generous. It wasn't a waste of my red eyes to fight him here. As for the equipment, it was a fiery red metal cloak. It was the one the boss was wearing — [Blood Cloak] (Gold-grade — metal armor)
Defense: 100
Strength: + 15
Stamina: + 10
Passive Skill: Elementary Bloodlust
Level Requirement: 48
(Unappraised)
… …
I was overjoyed. It was a Gold-grade cloak, and it had a Level 48 requirement. I could equip it directly, and this cloak also had a Bloodlust skill. This made me even more excited.
So, I immediately packed up my things and carefully entered the last tent. As expected, after smashing the chest, I obtained a Rank 1 Blaze Gem. Now, I had four types of Rank 1 gems, complete!
I threw them all into my bag and carried the Dark Commander's head back to the Graveyard of the Heroes. When I handed over the bloody head, the graveyard watcher NPC immediately said excitedly, "Brave warrior, you really killed this evil commander. This is great! Come, this is your reward!"
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have completed the quest [Destroy the Dark Sentinel]. You have gained 450000 EXP, 500 gold, and 1200 Reputation.
… …
Swhoosh!
A ray of golden light fell like rain, and I successfully rose to Level 49!
I opened the Heavenly Ranking again. To my astonishment, I had climbed to the sixth place of the China server!
At this time, I suddenly heard a beep. System Notice: Your friend "Breeze Seizes the Moon" is online!
A few seconds later, Ling Yue sent a call request. She said in surprise, "Scholar, you're Level 49!
So sick … "
I smiled. "It's okay!"
Ling Yue smiled. "Rest well, don't tire yourself out. Sleep early!"
"Mn."
I thought for a moment and said, "Ling Yue, come to the eastern plaza of Muguang City. I have something for you."
Ling Yue was a bit confused. She replied, "Oh, coming right away …"
I took out a return scroll and appeared in Muguang City the next moment. In the distance, a beautiful female mage was lightly running over.
I took out the Rank 1 Melting Snow Gem and traded it to Ling Yue.
"Here, this is useful for you. Go to the blacksmith and spend 50 gold to embed it into the groove."
Ling Yue was stunned but she smiled. "Thank you, Scholar ~ ~ But, I don't have much gold left. Can you help me a little?"
I was stunned. "Good fellow, you're trying to get something for nothing!"
"What, I am indeed short on money now!"
Ling Yue smiled faintly, giving me the illusion that she was acting coquettishly. Thus, I got hot-headed and immediately traded two thousand gold coins to her.
"Save your money. Remember to pick up money when you kill monsters …"
"En, I know!" Ling Yue happily accepted the gold.
"Then, I will go repair my equipment. You go do what you need to do!"
"En, okay!"
After which, I went to repair my equipment that was about to break before heading to the Appraisal Center.
I tossed the Blood Cloak on the counter. The Appraisal Center was shocked. "Good treasure!
The Appraisal fee is 600 gold! "
Although I gave 2000 gold to Ling Yue, I still had more than 2000 gold. Thus, I happily paid the fee.
A bright light flashed and the Blood Cloak glowed red, as if it was covered in a layer of blood mist — —
[Blood Cloak] (Gold-tier – Armor)
Defense: 150
Magic Resist: 100
Strength: + 25
Stamina: + 20
Agility: + 18
Additional Skill: Intermediate Bloodlust
Level Requirement: 48
… …
As expected, it leveled up to Intermediate Bloodlust!
I immediately equipped it. A blood-red cloak replaced the Black Wood Cloak on my back. It was definitely much more powerful than before!
Now that I was Level 49, I was definitely a high-level player. Coupled with the Dark Gold – grade Flame Spear, it seemed like I didn't need to hide anymore. Thus, I directly activated all the effects of my equipment!
Then I looked at the Bloodlust skill — —
[Intermediate Bloodlust]: After activation, user's attack speed and movement speed increase by 20%. Lasts for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes!
