Chapter 542: Great Earth Dragon (1/2)
”Mn!”
Chaos Moon nodded. ”At four pieces, the Bone Scythe set gives me 40% Attack and 15% splash effect. There’s no way it’ll be slow.”
”Yes. It’ll be even better if you can gather all five set pieces…”
Chaos Moon smiled and spread her arms wide. ”Dreams are nice, but reality is cruel. I’m probably never going to find the fifth Bone Scythe piece because the boss is already dead, and the other bosses most likely won’t be dropping them.”
”You’re right. Anyway, I’m going.”
”Okay. Moon Dew and I will be waiting right here!”
”Okay!”
……
The girls stayed behind while I ran toward the distance and zigzagged between the mobs. Although the Earth Triceradragons had brutally powerful stats, their movement speed was average at best and completely incomparable to mine. They were no threat to my life at all.
Some time later, I successfully aggroed nearly all of the mobs inside the passage and made my work back to the girls. I couldn’t tell how many there were, but there were probably a thousand of them at least. One way or another, we were going to Level like a rocket today.
Mouth agape, Chaos Moon and Moon Dew stared at the horde in worry and excitement. Moon Dew asked, ”Aiya, there are so many of them! Are you sure we can kill them all, Lu Chen? We’re not going to run out of durability and pots too soon, are we?”
I smiled reassuringly at her. ”Both Chaos Moon and I have over 6000 Defense, so don’t worry. An equipment won’t lose much durability if the mobs can’t penetrate Defense by much. Long story short, it’ll last until this whole dungeon crawl is over. The only thing I need from you is your healing. Did you bring enough Magic Consumables with you?”
”Mn, I have 50 sets of Rank 10 Magic Consumables with me.”
”That’s not quite enough. I’ll give you another 50 sets once we clear out the mobs. If there is a boss in this place, you will definitely need the Magic Consumables.”
”Okay~”
……
A group of Earth Triceradragons attempted to surround me at this moment. I immediately treated them to a Thousand Ice Slash +Burning Blade Slash combo. A bunch of damage numbers immediately popped into view—
14903!
7490!
12872!
16289!
Technically, my total damage dealt to a mob was around 45k or so, but the Heaven-stealing Sword’s 20% splash effect practically doubled that number. As a result, all the mobs caught within my skill combo was reduced to half health in an instant.
Pu!
7092!
7283!
7891!
……
Chaos Moon was a bit disappointed. ”I dealt slightly less damage than I expected…”
I smiled. ”Did you forget that your skill is rank 1? Don’t worry, by the time Rock Crush reaches Rank 10 you’ll definitely be able to deal over 10k damage to these mobs. Also, remember that an Earth Triceradragon has 2300 Defense, which is much higher than many magic knights in the game right now. Don’t underestimate the power of Rock Crush!”
”Okay!”
Chaos Moon relaxed after hearing that. Once we fell into a rhythm, her Rock Crush became an essential part of our offensive power. The 15% splash effect of her set especially had increased our grinding speed up by 25% or so. It was pretty amazing.
The cave kept flashing with light as we bombarded the Earth Triceradragons with skills and killed them in droves. Moreover, the mob’s strongest skill, the Draconic Hornblade could only deal around 10k damage to Chaos Moon or me. It wasn’t enough damage to kill us even if it was a critical hit, not to mention that Moon Dew was healing us from the back. All we needed to do was to kill the mobs and enjoy the grind of experience and loot.
By the way, we weren’t expecting a high-level shadow-rank mob like the Earth Triceradragons to drop an AoE skill book like Rock Crush, so we were very much hoping to get a second or even a third skill book. Right now, skill books that granted physical damage-type AoE skill were priceless treasures to all players. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they were even more valuable than Outstanding Spirit-grade equipment. After all, one or even two AoE skills could transform a fighter’s strength completely!
……
Over an hour later, inside the guild channel—
Xu Yang: ”This is getting complicated. Just where the hell is the boss of B5 floor? Candle Dragon and Snowy Cathaya had scoured almost the entire floor for it, but it is still nowhere to be found. Also, I heard that Warsky Alliance has gone to the B6 floor, and Blue Sky Scar and his hundred-man party has already gone to the B7 floor…”
He Yi: ”This is not good for us…”
Li Chengfeng: ”Can I say something?”
Me: ”Speak to us.”
Li Chengfeng: ”I don’t think we’re going to get anywhere if we keep staying together like this, so this is my plan. I want to form a hundred-man party, farm the teleportation scroll and get to the B9 floor as soon as possible. That is where the most important boss of the entire map resides, am I right?”
