Nonetheless, the Blazing Goblin Warrior never stopped struggling and continued bellowing in its rage.
The Bloodthirsty Vine was almost breaking!
Nie Fan glanced over at Xue Yu. His friend’s performance had surprised him, and his improvement was certainly clear—with time in his hands, Xue Yu could really become a skillful player given his perfect timing just now.
“Xue Yu, get over here!” Nie Fan yelled into the team chat.
Xue Yu quickly dashed to Nie Fan’s side when he heard him, with Nie Fan giving him everything that remained in his bag, including the Sparkling Dust and Gravity Javelin.
“Use these items whenever you find a chance. We’ll talk later, after we get rid of the Blazing Goblin Warrior!” Nie Fan quickly told him—it would be troublesome if the monster was freed from its restraints.
That being said, Nie Fan had a lot of items in his bag. After looking through some of the attributes of those items, Xue Yu quickly drew out one Gravity Javelin, found a position and promptly launched it at the Blazing Goblin Warrior.
Meanwhile, with a crack, the Blazing Goblin Warrior had violently broken the Bloodthirsty Vine into pieces. But at the same time, it was struck by the Gravity Javelin with a dull thud, and it shrieked once while stumbling three steps backwards.
Black Oil!
Then, before the Blazing Goblin Warrior could find its balance, thick dark grease drenched over its face once more.
Xue Yu realized in surprise that the items Nie Fan gave him were really useful. Between Nie Fan’s attacks, he would unleash Sparkling Dust or Gravity Javelins—even if the effect would not be ideal on every instance, it more or less impedes the Blazing Goblin Warrior’s movement.
“Where did you get these stuff, Nie Fan? Remember to buy more next time so that Suyue and I don’t have to stand in a corner and do nothing.” Xue Yu exclaimed excitedly, finding the Gravity Javelin especially handy.
Nie Fan rolled his eyes. “Did you think those stuff comes cheap? Keep using it like this and we’ll be penniless soon enough.”
“Hehe, forget it then.” Xue Yu chuckled dryly.
Still, the Blazing Goblin Warrior could no longer withstand Nie Fan’s continuous barrage. With a long howl towards the skies, it staggered and dropped to the dirt, its armor having been charred black like a heap of ashes.
“It’s finally dead.” Lin Suyue breathed a sigh of relief.
That being said, Xue Yu had used up every last pile of Sparkling Dust and Gravity Javelin, whereas Nie Fan himself used two bottles of Novice Mana Potions.
“Did it drop any items?”
Nie Fan headed to the Blazing Goblin Warrior’s corpse, arched his back and combed through it. He found a Gem Shard and one item, the latter of which was a Cleric’s staff.
[Staff of Healing: Level 20 required, Copper-grade, Attack 32-38, Spirit +3, Healing +3, Durability 35/35]
“It’s a fine Cleric staff,” Nie Fan said, and traded that item to Lin Suyue.
The trio’s eyes then turned simultaneously to the Level 25 Copper treasure chest. Players hardly encounter treasure chest, even normal ones—and this was a Copper-grade.
In the end, there are always surprising discoveries when it comes to exploring a new map.
The trio was excited and hopeful despite not knowing what lay inside too.
They could only hope that their luck was not too horrible since it was possible for some poor players who found only White items in Copper treasure chests.
Nonetheless, Nie Fan opened the chest and reached inside, feeling around until one item entered his hand.
It feels like… a tome?
“What is it?” Xue Yu asked anxiously.
After feeling around some more and making sure that there were no other items in the treasure chest, he fished out that item.
It was a Skill Tome.
The totem of a cheetah on the gray cover of the tome immediately caught Nie Fan’s attention. It looked as vivid as real life, its eyes flickering with captivating faint red radiance.
‘This is it!’ Nie Fan thought in irrepressible excitement.
