Chapter 17 – Basic Elemental Movement Arts – Earthwalk (1/2)
Since Diggy Rat’s tail attack was sealed and its magic attacks were unable to directly kill Fatty, it screeched anxiously when he noticed that its two front paws were clearly unable to match Fatty. What’s more, it blinked away twice, only to have Fatty make use of it when it appeared once again and hacked at its tail.
Combo Attack.
Followed by Coil.
Then another Combo Attack.
Diggy Rat’s health dropped rather significantly, then eventually, it lowered to less than 1% of its maximum health.
“F*ck, why’s the boss acting so crazy?” Someone suddenly shouted. Fatty glanced over, understood that the two gangs finally reached a mutual understanding, so they send someone in to check up on the situation.
Man, it’s so lucky that Diggy Rat’s on the outside and I’m on the inside. Otherwise, they definitely would have discovered me.
However, Diggy Rat disappeared into the cave once again.
Which… left Fatty face to face with the new arrival.
“Boss, someone’s stealing the boss…” the new arrival reacted very quickly and sent a message to Cloud Dragon Sailing.
However, Fatty’s dagger moved even quicker.
Coil.
Combo Attack.
Due to the earlier fight, Fatty was completely used to using the two skills back to back, and this combination attack caused the person’s health bar to vanish, sending him all the way back to the respawn point.
Squeak. Diggy Rat leaped over.
Fatty casually chugged down a large red pot, then thrust his dagger upwards to hold the rat’s upper raw, while he stepped on the lower jaw, preventing it from biting down.
Squeak! Diggy Rat squeaked angrily, causing countless stalactites to shoot out from the tunnels, focusing on Fatty in an attempt to prevent him from dodging.
“Hah!” Fatty called out softly, then bent down, to squeeze himself into the small area underneath Diggy Rat’s neck and escaped the fate of being impaled.
Boom.
Yet, before Fatty could crawl out, Diggy Rat smashed its body down, and squashed Fatty.
“Crap, how did this rat become smarter!?” Fatty frantically stabbed at the body above him. However, the rat did not react at all.
Ding.
System Notification: Congratulations. You have slain the Yao Boss Diggy Rat. +20000 Experience, +300 Reputation.
“Ahahaha. It’s dead. It’s finally dead!” Fatty cheered excitedly, then felt something prodding him.
He reached out and found a pair of boots.

Unidentified
He searched with his hands again. This time, he found an orb. It was a pale green and gave him a cool feeling in his palms. Fatty was also able to see the interior seemingly be filled with swirling smoke, making it look like some sort of treasure.
Poison Immunity Orb
Wearing it can make the wearer immune to poison. It is a mission item.
I finally got it.
Fatty searched around a bit more. All he found was some gold coins, a bronze lance, a metal armor and another orb.
Huh? Another orb? Am I getting a Poison Immunity Orb for free? Wait, no, it’s larger than the Poison Immunity Orb and bigger as well.
Fatty took a closer look at the dense orb. It was an earthy brown and the size of a goose egg.
What’s this? Could it be a pet egg? I thought you needed to be Level 20 to get a pet?
Fatty thought about it for a moment, then recalled the blood bonding method for pets. He swept his finger across the wound on his shoulder and smudged his blood onto the yellow orb. But… there was a reaction at all.
Like I thought, it isn’t a pet’s egg. At least, it isn’t right now.
“Hey, friend on the inside, we’ve already blocked off the hole. You won’t be able to run, so come out. We’ll split whatever you’ve got equally,” Cloud Dragon Sailing’s voice sounded out from the outside.
I guess he knows that the boss was killed. Whatever.
The final drop was a yellow book.
Basic Elemental Movement Arts – Earthwalk
Mission Item
Collecting the five elemental movement arts will allow the player to gain the hidden class of Elementalist.
After Fatty finished collecting all of his rewards, he pulled out his hand and used Harvest onto Diggy Rat’s corpse.
Ding.
System Notification: You harvest a rat skin.
Rat Skin
Basic Sewing Material.
Again.
Ding.
System Notification:You harvest the Diggy Rat inner core.
It was another yellow orb.
Diggy Rat Inner Core (Immature)
Weapon Refinement Material
Fatty tried one more time, but this time, he didn’t get anything.
At that moment, a figure sneaked over. It was clearly a cannon fodder who was sent ahead to check out the situation. Seeing that, Fatty shrunk his head back and remained under Diggy Rat’s corpse.
“Big Bro, the Boss was killed, but I don’t see that person anywhere.”
“F*ck his ass…” Cloud Dragon Sailing was furious. “Money Grubber, it’s that mother*cker again.”
Meanwhile…
Ding.
Fatty received a message. It was from Purple Bell.
“Big Brother Fatty, why did you steal our boss?”
Fatty twitched his mouth.
“Who stole whose boss? The boss had already lost a lot of health when you started fighting it, right? Also, I was the one who dug the trap in front of the entrance to the hole.”
Ding.
“Oh, I was wrong. Big Brother Fatty, sorry. Don’t come out yet, my brother and Cloud Dragon Sailing are both guarding the entrance to the rat hole right now.”
She does have a bit of a conscience.
Fatty pulled himself out from underneath the corpse with a lot of effort and looked at the time. Oh, less than six hours passed? Keep waiting if you guys want. I’m going to take a break for a moment.
Ding. Another message arrived.
“Big Brother Fatty, did the boss drop any good items? My brother’s willing to buy them.”
Equipment? I seemed to have used up all my luck, so none of the items seem to be things I can use. I do want to save them for East Gate BlowingWind, but he probably doesn’t have much money left now.
Ahh, whatever. I’ll appraise them first. Thus, Fatty laid out the items in front of him and used Identification on them to display their original forms to the world.
