Chapter 266 Naga Island (1/2)

Wuwa—

Wuwa—

Nobody could imagine that horrifying scene on the flat and humid island in the sea, where a snake monster baby with a human head would be lying there every two steps taken. Their faces were covered by scales, and it seemed as if their mouths spent a Herculean effort to open them as wide as possible so that the sounds of wailing could be heard.

That was the Naga, or more accurately, they were the infants of the Naga race.

[Crying Naga Baby] (Elite)

Level 25

Health Points: 100/15,000

Attack: 263-453

Defense: 130

Note: The only function these pitiful Naga infants have here is to use their cries that are filled with Spirits to add gloominess to Crying Bay. The Naga infants, which are in a weak state, have almost no ability to resist, but the scales on them can turn into the highest grade leather.

”F*ck! This is too cruel!” Lin Jie could not help but swear. Then, he was stunned! What had happened to him? All this while, hadn't he always been thinking logically that everything in the game had just been a pile of statistics? Then, at this moment, why did he actually have a feeling that he had treated them as if they were real and pitied them? Could it be that he had been influenced by Ziliang, Qiu Yuan, and the others? However, this scene was too shocking. He had never seen such a scene in his previous life, over 1,000 of Naga infants wailing continuously. That weird scene, if someone who was timider saw that, most likely, that person would already be paralyzed with fear and have already collapsed on the ground.

Lin Jie shook his head and temporarily threw away these thoughts. Then, he walked closer to the infants to observe them.

As these Naga infants were too young, the thick and heavy scales that the Naga race had always been proud of were tender like when the bamboos first emerged from the ground. Just like how humans liked to use sheep's soft fur to manufacture clothes, the scales like tender new buds in spring on the Naga infants were the top-notch raw materials for leather and could even create level 25 Gold equipment.

That was a huge amount of fortune! The Naga infants' names were all blood-red, which meant their health was in critical danger, and Lin Jie only needed to use a few AOE attacks to be able to kill them all and obtain over thousands of level 25 Elite's experience points and a huge amount of leather.

Lin Jie thought for a while, before getting closer to a Naga baby and checking its body conditions. In The New Age, no matter if it were NPCs or monsters, as long as they were afflicted by sickness, they could basically be cured with Health Potions. Unless it was the abnormal status of ”reduce of max health point”. Lin Jie examined for a while. There was no change to the upper limit of the health bar, so he could use the Health Potion.

Usually, 5 to 10 Nagas would be protecting a Naga infant because the Nagas' ability to reproduce was relatively weaker. Thus, each baby was very precious. That was the reason why Lin Jie had revealed a shocked expression when he had seen so many Naga infants at once.

Such a weird scene, there must be some background story. If he just directly killed all these infants and it went smoothly, he would be able to obtain experience, equipment, and materials. However, if he could trigger a mission, then in this new-found map, maybe, the mission could even be an Epic one. He would definitely be able to get better rewards.

Lin Jie carried a baby up, but his body was in a battle posture, ready to immediately react if there was any sign of trouble. However, what was strange was that no Naga appeared! Logically speaking, at this time, 10 Nagas surrounding him would not be a surprise at all.

”Naga! Come out!” shouted Lin Jie loudly.

The surroundings were still as empty as they could be. There were no movements or sounds at all.

Lin Jie shouted again, ”Come out!”

There was still no reply.

'Damn it, why didn't I go learn some Naga language before coming out to the sea.' Lin Jie pursed his lips. Since it was like this, he had to use some universe lingua franca.

He threw the Naga baby up high in the sky and calmly placed Broken Blade on the ground. If no one showed up, that infant would instantly die. Since it only had 100 health points left, it would not be able to endure the powerful attack of Broken Blade.

Whoosh—

An azure blue figure suddenly appeared and grabbed the Naga infant into his hands. What was beyond Lin Jie's expectations was that its first reaction was not to attack, but… to kneel down. Using its sticky and slippery body to kowtow to Lin Jie continuously as if begging him not to kill the child?

[Naga Race Prophet Braumond] (Gold Boss)

Level: 40

Health Points: 170,000

Magic attack: 456-686

Defense: 150

Additional effect: Naga Scales (Immune to water attribute attacks), Spirit Influence (Your channeling consumption increases by 50%)

”Gold Boss!” Lin Jie instantly pulled out Broken Blade.

That Naga had four long arms, in the Naga race, one's strength was determined by how many arms one had. The low-level soldiers and slaves only had two arms, while mid-level Nagas, which had wisdom, had four arms, and the leader of Naga race had six arms. As for the chieftain level characters, which had eight arms, they would be the Bosses over level 100.

The Boss was still bowing to him with no intention of fighting.
