Chapter 370: Tempest War Boots (1/2)
Crack!
When I cut off the Tempest Tiger’s head with my sword, I received a thick surge of experience and a purple red skill book. It looked different from all the skill books I had seen before.
I hurriedly picked it up from the ground and gave it a look. A second later, I burst out in laughter—
Fire Cyclone: Pet skill book. Summons a fiery cyclone in a 10x10 area. Pet Level Requirement: 100. Offensive physical type pet only.
……
Awesome! My Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf finally has an AoE skill! From now on, you’re going to become the Wolf King!
I made my Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf learn the skill immediately. My pet’s fur suddenly caught on fire, and the next moment it dropped a gigantic cyclone on fire right on top of the Tempest Tiger for over 4000 damage. Yep, the skill was a perfect fit with its incredible attack power!
I rushed to its aid and killed the second Tempest Tiger in no time as well. But to my surprise, it also dropped—not a skill book—but fiery red metal armor boots. I checked their stats and was delighted but what I saw—
Tempest War Boots (Dark Gold–grade)
Defense: 275
Magic Resist: 190
Strength: +65
Agility: +58
Passive: Increases user’s movement speed by 7%
Passive: 10% chance to deal 200 burn damage when attacking a target
Level Requirement: 105
……
I couldn’t believe that a shadow-rank mob had dropped a Dark Gold–grade equipment knowing how low the actual drop rate was. Awesome!
I shot He Yi a glance before saying, ”Eve, your boots don’t look like nothing special. Do you want these Tempest War Boots? You can wear them when you’re Level 105.”
”Mn, thank you!” We were long past the point of pleasantries, so He Yi simply accepted them with a smile and tossed them into her bag.
Luckily, we didn’t encounter any more Tempest Tigers along the way. It was a difficult and annoying mob to fight, and even with my attack power it had taken me an entire minute to kill both of them. My party simply couldn’t afford to dilly dally in this dangerous terrain any longer than necessary!
Three minutes later, we successfully passed through the burning zone and entered a hilly area. The rocks looked weathered by time, but there were plants growing from between the gaps. Moreover, there was a small, calm river passing through the center of the hills. It was an oasis in the middle of the desert.
……
We also saw a bunch of cyan-colored rock monsters on the hills. It was none other than the Desert Giants. The Desert Giants were covered in dried up moss, and behind the rocky slits on its face was a pair of gray eyes. It wielded a long, jagged rock that looked like a spiky club from a distance.
Desert Giant (Shadow)
Level: 127
Attack: 1360~1530
Defense: 1400
HP: 75000
Introduction: The guardians of Fire Desert. These Desert Giants possess immense strength that can crush any defense. As a result, no human adventurer has dared to venture into Fire Desert for almost a century.
……
”High level and high Attack…” He Yi sighed.
I nodded in agreement and brought up the world map. I noticed that we were about ten minutes away from a clump of red dots. It was the symbol used to represent an enemy guild member, and there were at least hundreds of them. As expected, Warsky Alliance was grinding in that area, but it looked like they weren’t able to enter the true heart of the zone just yet. It was because the Desert Giants on the outside were putting immense pressure on them.
It was time to kill. I locked onto a nearby Desert Giant and fired a Dragon Slaying Slash!
Swhoosh!
The cyan energy took 4278 HP from the Desert Giant’s health pool immediately. As I thought, I was much stronger than before after I gained the Spirit-grade Heaven-stealing Sword!
The Desert Giant growled and walked slowly toward me. Its massive legs left deep footprints on the rocky ground, and the earth was shaking every time it moved. It was rather terrifying to watch a five-meter-tall walking hill running toward you!
But I chuckled inwardly. Even with its massive height, the Desert Giant was still way slower than I was. I could definitely kill it from range without taking a single point of damage. However, it would take quite a bit of time to kill it if I fought that way, so I decided that I would fight it head-on. That would be faster and more exciting.
Another two Dragon Slaying Slashes later, I activated Thunderous Charge!
