Chapter 174: Sandworm Swarm (1/2)
“A Level 70 mob with a max Attack of 550!”
A chill came over my heart as I turned around to face the girls. “Mage, priest, watch out. An Attack this high can more or less one-shot you if you’re not careful. Shields up, and keep an eye on your surroundings!”
Murong Mingyue and Moonlight Stone nodded while He Yi said, “Lu Chen, draw the aggro and let’s go!”
“Got it!”
Together with the Dark Wasp, I locked onto the Myriad Poison Sandworm and charged it like a lightning bolt!
Swhoosh!
It was a successful stun. At Level 67, I was strong enough that my skills had a very low miss rate, even when facing a mob of a higher level.
Ice Ray! Slayer Slash!
875!
904!
The sandworm lost a chunk of HP as my sword plunged into its flesh. On the other side, my Dark Wasp executed its Flurry and landed four hits in a row!
703!
696!
721!
742!
Awesome. Having a Dark Wasp with Flurry was like having a divine weapon!
The others weren’t idle either. Beauty Moonlight Stone cast her Ice Dragon Howl, and Beiming Xue fired seven or eight arrows using her Evil Spirit Volley, blasting the hell out of the Myriad Sandworm. Five arrows struck true and deleted most of its HP in the blink of an eye!
Murong Mingyue’s mouth fell open. “Holy shit, this DPS is a bit much, isn’t it?”
Meanwhile, the Myriad Poison Sandworm finally broke free from the stun and swung its claws across my chest armor!
398!
Tsk tsk, its Attack really was nothing to scoff at!
But that wasn’t all. The sinister-looking killer worm suddenly opened its mouth and spat a jet of greenish fluid at my head. I was poisoned!
Beep!
Combat Log: Myriad Poison Sandworm used “Poison Spit”. You have been poisoned, and will lose 10% of your current HP over 6 seconds!
…...
WTF? 10% HP in 6 seconds? This is a lot deadlier than the Dark Wasp’s venom. The only difference was that it damages its target faster because it had a shorter period!
“Beiming Xue, heal Lu Chen! Wait I mean, Moonlight Stone, heal Lu Chen! Wait that’s still not right, I mean, Mingyue, heal Lu Chen!” He Yi finally got it right on the third try.
Even without He Yi’s order, Murong Mingyue herself had cast an instantaneous heal on me almost reactively. The number “+578” appeared above my head and instantly filled my HP to full. Murong Mingyue was undoubtedly one of the best healers in Floating Ice City, and it was a pleasure to be able to grind levels with her. She always had a copious amount of milk at the ready, literally or figuratively.
Swhoosh!
Beiming Xue fired a Devil Piercing Arrow that struck the Myriad Poison Sandworm’s head perfectly. A series of dying hisses later, the first Myriad Poison Sandworm we’d ever fought finally died and dropped a bunch of loot!
Pop!
He Yi glanced at it once before smiling. “Lu Chen, you’re the party leader here, so you decide how we split up the loot.”
“Okay…”
I walked up to the dagger and picked it up from the ground. I then brought up the stat screen so that everyone could take a look at it.
Poisoned Blade (Dark Steel–grade)
Attack: 65~120
Agility: +24
Passive: Increases user’s Agility by 11
Level Requirement: 60
…...
Hey, it’s not a bad dagger at all!
I turned around and checked their opinion. “So, a Dark Steel–grade dagger with a max Attack of 120. It’s not bad, and we can probably sell it for around 500 RMB on the market. What do you girls think?”
He Yi pressed her lips together for a moment before smiling. “None of us is an assassin, so it’ll be a waste to keep it. Why don’t we sell it cheaply to our guild members when we’re done with this map?”
