Chapter 22 (1/2)
Oh the journey other the NPC riding a horse journey pa.s.s him, even those who wants to see the scenery are busy levelling up. Relying on this pair of legs, Bai Song climbs to around the middle of the mountain.
When he reaches the middle of the mountain, Bai Song checks his surrounds, after making sure there is no other players, he slips down a depression at the side of the mountain. Luckily the newbie equipment durability is higher otherwise his armour would have been worn down from sliding down.
After reaching the base on the depression, you can see a winding trail. The trail leads to a very small mountain hole. Although we say it is a mountain hole, it should be call a dog hole, because Bai Song need to lie flat on the ground and crawls forward to enter the hole.
After entering the hole, inside there are lots of miner extracting ores, expect that their eyes are expressionless, obviously they are merely puppets. This is Wind Sprout Village hidden precious levelling area. At the same time levelling here, there is a need to be careful as in this hidden area, there exist a big BOSS.
Of cause in the previous incarnation, when Bai Song started playing, this is no longer a hidden geomancy precious area, everyone knows about this place.
Bai Song picks up a stone. In <myth>, not only can you use long range skills or long range weapons to pull monsters, if your hand strength is enough to accurate hit the targets, anything that you pick up can be thrown at the monsters.
Aiming at the Puppet Miner standing still at the border of the digging area, Bai Song with a toss, accurately hits the chest of the puppet. As this type of monsters have low intelligence, Bai Song have to wave his hand to reveal himself.
The Puppet Miner brandish his hoe? Okay, his pick, after that with a face full of anger rushes over. Of cause, you can’t really see much expression from that face of his, but Bai Song pretends to be cool as says to himself: “I can hear his anger.”
Puppet Miner is the lowest level monster in this area, but it is Lv6 or above. Bai Song who is currently Lv3 should not be able to damage pa.s.s Puppet Miner armour.
Luckily, Puppet Miner is so clumsy, under the stat boost from the Spectral Cloak, Bai Song easily rotates around to the back of Puppet Miner. Bai Song immediately uses his Continuous Strike skill. Although Continuous Strike skill only inflicts 70% of his damage, but Continuous Strike from the back increases the critical chance by 30%.
Turns on the Three Corpse Ring effects.
Under the three continuous slashes, above the Puppet Miner head appears a string of ……damage?
+10, +8, +16……
Under the stats boost from the Spectral Cloak, Bai Song’s strength have already drop to -151, hence when he hit the monster, he heals the monster instead. When crits occurs, the crit still apply on the damage, hence even the heal is higher than the usual heals.
Bai Song lucky is not that good, the crit did not activated the Three Corpse Ring effect, and hence he have to do another set of ‘damage’ to the Puppet Miner before the ring effect’s finally activated.
A fire soul climbs out of the ground, with a grab, hugs the Puppet Miner. The Puppet Miner wants to escape from the hug but is unable to touch the Lava Corpse Ghost.
At this time, Bai Song originally wanted to cooperate with the Lava Corpse Ghost to attack, but as it is Bai Song first time using the ring effect, he wants to test its strength. The burn damage is based on the Lava Corpse Ghost level, currently the Corpse Ghost is only level 1, although the Corpse Ghost last for 30 seconds, with a 5 level difference, it is unable to burn the Puppet Miner to death.
Looking at the Lava Corpse Ghost which is about to disappear, Bai Song unequip the Spectral Cloak and keeps in it him backpack. With a few more strikes, the Puppet Miner is dead. Bai Song goes up and loots, looting a few copper coins.
“As expected, the drop rate is so low.” Bai Song keeps the copper coins into his backpack and takes out one of the copper coin to test its weight.
Following on is the division of experience. Three Corpse Ring needs experience to level up and more experience you feed the Corpse Ghost, the higher its level will be. When it hits its level cap, with a few materials, then you be able to increase the grade of the ring.
