Chapter 151 – Summon Scroll (1/2)
“It’s finally dead,” Fatty breathed and jumped off the Queen Ant’s back. While the fight hadn’t been long, it had been extremely fierce. Luckily, the terrain had prevented the boss from displaying its true ability; otherwise, Fatty’s party might have ended up the losing side.
With the Queen Ant dead, its six guards instantly lost all sense of purpose. Not knowing what to do, they couldn’t escape either since they persistently got in one another’s way, and Fatty blocked them at the fore. Thus, Fatty and Wheat slayed them as well.
Once all the big guys had been taken care of, the rogue went over to assist Liu Lan. The latter had been unseated from her panther and presently resisted the monsters due to her excessive health alone. The mobs that had arrived earlier were swarms of Golden-Toothed Ants. More than a dozen of their corpses were scattered along the ground while just as many were still in the air.
Upon seeing Fatty, Liu Lan softly smiled. She retreated to give Fatty room to fight, then exhaustedly leaned on the wall to rest. When the pair had first entered the cave, just two Golden-Toothed Ants had been enough to fluster Liu Lan. She had now held back more than twenty of them and even killed half in the process, so one can imagine the toll it took on her body.
Fully taking advantage of his rogue class, Fatty drew the remaining ants to himself and cooperated with Wheat to split them up and kill them. Liu Lan rested for a while. She then summoned the Fire Cloud Panther once more and assisted Fatty. Several minutes passed, and they finally cleared out the tunnel.
“Aaahh, I’m so worn out!” Liu Lan pocketed her weapon and slouched against a wall a moment to regain her strength.
“You rest first. Lemme go check the goodies,” stated Fatty. The system refreshed every half hour, so the items dropped by the Queen Ant might soon be gone if they didn’t pick them up. Earlier, the Queen Ant had only managed to free two legs from the ground while the rest of its limbs had still been stuck. So, underneath its body, a pile of items laid quietly, emitting a golden glow.
Fatty initially picked up the gold coins, then the normal equipment, and lastly the superb items. First among the rarer loot was an unappraised Violet dagger, the Stone Eater Dagger. As usual, Fatty cast several Appraisals, revealing its information amidst a hazy cloud.
Stone Eater Dagger
Violet dagger
Level requirement: 50
Attack: 75 – 80
STR +18
DEX +20
Passive: Unspecified chance to paralyze the opponent.
Class requirement: Rogue, Archer
Finally, this was a violet weapon Fatty could use! But, it was a pity his level was too low for it. Fatty tossed the dagger to Liu Lan so she could check it out, and he turned to appraise two gold items.
Flowing Cloud Boots
Gold armor
Level requirement: 50
Defense: 35
END +15
Passive: Increases Fire Resistance by 10%.
Class requirement: Knight, Warrior
Giant Ant’s Armor
Gold armor
Defense: 60
STR +18
END +15
Passive: Increases Fire Resistance by 10%.
Class requirement: Knight, Warrior
Perhaps because the Queen Ant was so bitter about dying in lava, both of the gold equipment increased fire-damage resistance.
“I’ll take this dagger.” Fatty retrieved the Stone Eater Dagger from Liu Lan and added, “These two items go to you.”
“I don’t need them,” refused Liu Lan outright.
