Chapter 175: Auction (1/2)

After seeing off the Great Lion, Xi Wei turned towards the Players who had finally blown up the Marsh Drake’s head.

While the Marsh Drake was related to the Marsh Hydra, it didn’t possess the Hydra’s survivability to grow two more heads when one was cut off.

Therefore, it was absolutely dead after it had its head blown up.

Naturally, Xi Wei was not going to be stingy whenever the Players offered him a Wild Boss that would never appear again after one battle, which also supplies him considerable divine energy.

Hence, he plucked out the heartstrings of the human-faced fish monsters’ corpses that almost numbered a hundred, refining and tempering them into sturdy bowstrings. Then, he extracted the Barren Giants to make the body of the bow, along with some bone-powder from Rotten Bones’ corpse as a string notch imbued with divine power.

Finally, he put all those materials together, crafting the golden legendary war-bow ‘AWM’, a weapon of unparalleled range and penetration, coupled with a sniper scope with magnification effect and dumped it at the Players.

Although the Players were puzzled by the naming of the legendary weapon, it did not stop them from going as hard as they could in the dice-rolling battle to seize the second legendary weapon ever encountered.

“Why in hell’s name are you rolling?! You’re a warrior, why would you want a bow? ”

“I could use it as a stick!”

“Aaaaaargh! I can’t use a bow after changing class to Shadow Rogue!”

“I’m fated not to possess it…”

“Fate, my foot! You’re a mage, please!”

“Please, show some kindness to this ranger. Our class is the weakest class, don’t you have any sympathy?”

“Rangers are the weakest? Have you considered the feelings of the Swordmasters and that one Kengyoku Player?”

“Did you say the Swordmasters are the weakest? Come, wash that pretty neck of yours—we’re dueling back at the village!”

While the Players fought each other in a chaotic uproar for the second legendary weapon, Xi Wei had also received the corpse of the Marsh Drake. Coiling his tentacles around it, he began studying the unusual corpse.

First and foremost, that thing didn’t have divinity.

“Well, make sense…” Xi Wei wasn’t actually disappointed about that.

Indeed, one would have to say that it was too cheap a divine existence if it really had received a divinity fragment and yet was still so easily killed by the Players.

Moreover, before mortal creatures became a legendary being, they would be consumed by divinity and become fertilizer for the divinity fragment instead even if they managed to obtain it.

It was true that the creature had some degree of divine power. With it, the Marsh Drake had grown very powerful and could easily wipe out fully-armored Players, but that power was also eating away at the Marsh Drake’s body—it would otherwise be difficult for the Players to punch through its defenses to deal certain damage with their present abilities.
