Chapter 329 – Two Blueprints (1/2)
With the pleasant sound of system notification, the Lightning Beast boss died under Fatty’s sword.
No one could blame it for being weak. After all, it was a definite result with the Violent Ox King, who was one tier higher.
Bam. A pile of items gushed out at Fatty’s feet.
On top of the pile was a blue paper sheet with sparkling spots of light.
Thunderstorm Magic Formation Drawing
Advanced Lightning Magic
The more magic stones used to arrange this magic formation, the greater the power, the wider the coverage, and the longer the duration.
The racial skill of the Lightning Beast! Fatty was overjoyed at this pleasant surprise. If this were to be arranged somewhere in Sky City, that area would definitely become a deadly zone that’d be much more useful than some powerful defensive items.
This kind of good stuff naturally should be hidden from others. Fatty casually swept it into this inventory, then continued to scan the item pile. The Lightning Beast boss was quite a rich fellow. Aside from the formation drawing, there was also a Violet weapon called the Thunder Sword with high attack and additional paralysis effect, and moreover the additional skill Thunder Explosion.
Without the boss to maintain it, the thunderstorm formation gradually weakened. In the end, the Lightning Beasts simply let go of their control and madly charged towards Fatty.
Numerous lightning bolts came at Fatty from all directions. These Lightning Beast hated Fatty to death, they ignored the players outside to target him and only him.
When the thunderstorm dispersed, the protective light barrier automatically vanished with it. The impatient players immediately rushed in while shouting.
Nimbly dodging the insane Lightning Beasts and their attacks, Fatty headed towards the cubs – the real treasure here, as one would be worth over 100,000 gold coins.
Cubs were easy to tame into pets or mounts, and the Lightning Beast was a much better monster than the pets and mounts of the majority of players here. Therefore, many gunned straight for the cubs as soon as the barrier disappeared.
No one could outmatch Fatty in speed though. When they caught a cub, they had to tame it. Meanwhile, Fatty opened the Elemental Mystery Realm and simply threw the cubs in there. The other players only saw a hazy flash of colorful brilliance each time the number of cubs decreased by one.
After some functions of the Elemental Mystery Realm had been restored, it allowed living things to enter, an example being that trip in the Sun Dynasty when Fatty hid the others inside. While there were certain limitations, this was currently the best way to capture the cubs.
Moreover, Fatty didn’t plan to tame them. If he took them to Reck for the old man to raise, an army of Lightning Beasts might emerge in Sky City in the future.
There were only fifty to sixty cubs in total and Fatty alone claimed over thirty. Ignoring the dissatisfaction from some other players, Fatty continued his business after all the cubs were divided. First was his promise to the sharpshooter girl; he efficiently restrained a Lightning Beast for her and earned 10,000 gold coins.
The fight ended quickly. More than two hours later, the Lightning Beast pack was annihilated, everyone gained plentiful experience points and items.
“Fatty, you want this?” TheFugitive appeared and gave Fatty a blueprint.
Thunderoar Cannon Blueprint: Once learned, can build the Thunderoar Cannon, the simplified version of the Thunder God Cannon. Violet Item, attack 1,200 – 1,500, defense 1,500, attack range 2,000 meters. The power of this cannon is increased several times when used in a City Siege. Each shot costs 1000 mana.
Material required: high-grade ores, Thundershock Wood, Thunder Spirit.
Fatty’s eyes brightened. While its attack was lower than the Plenilune Ballistae, its range was double the latter. And not to forget this ‘once learned, can build,’ which meant that one could directly build this cannon after they learned it without needing the blueprint anymore.
If the number of Thunderoar Cannons reached a certain amount, they'd make an excellent tool for city sieges and defense.
“What’s a Thunder Spirit?” Fatty asked. He knew what high-grade ores and Thundershock Wood were, but this Thunder Spirit had him totally clueless.
“It’s this.” TheFugitive tossed Harvest at a nearby Lightning Beast corpse. An illusory blue Lightning Beast-shaped soul flew out from the corpse and landed on his palm. He handed it to Fatty.
Thunder Spirit: The soul form of a lightning monster.
Most of the corpses had been harvested by now. An especially welcome product was the lightning inner cores that added paralysis effect when embedded into a weapon, some players were already offering to purchase them on the spot. On the contrary, the Thunder Spirits didn’t get much attention due to its simple description without mentioning a particular use. Moreover, this kind of soul material only appeared in the very last harvest.
