Chapter 551: Butchering the Rhinos (1/2)

He grinned as he chopped away at a Star Rhino. ”Lu Chen, equip it and check out what the set effects are. We’re gonna find a lot of them here, so we might as well find out what the effects are.”

”On it!”

I swiftly equipped the Split Galaxy Gauntlets and focused on them again. The set bonuses immediately leapt out onto my HUD and they were shocking—

Split Galaxy Set:

2 piece: Increases user’s hit rate by 20%

3 piece: Weakens the damage of all attacks received by 10%

4 piece: Increases user’s max HP by 7000 and Defense by 2000

5 piece: Increases mount’s stats by 25%. Increases user’s Attack by 40% and gives the user 20% splash damage.

……

I immediately shared it with the rest of the party. High Fighting Spirits was stunned when he saw those set bonuses. ”What the fuck, what an incredible set of armor this is…”

”Yeah, it’s strong as hell!” Li Chengfeng whistled appreciatively.

Beiming Xue stuck out her tongue and giggled. ”We’re about to strike it rich! If a magic knight were to equip this set of armor, they’d be completely broken! If we can gather ten complete sets, our cavalry corps will become invincible at this stage of the game with Gui Guzi using Knight God!”

I nodded my head. ”Right! Everyone, we need to work hard and kill these rhinos! We can divide all the other items among us but all of the Split Galaxy pieces that we find will go straight into the guild warehouse! We’re going to create the strongest troop of magic knights in the game!”

”Alright! Let’s work hard everybody!” Li Chengfeng yelled with a grin on his face.

After that, we started killing the Star Rhinos at an even more frenzied pace. My DPS was still way ahead of everyone else, so my squad could finish off a Star Rhino in about half a minute. My Luck stat was high too, so I soon found another piece of the Split Galaxy set. This was great!

He Yi’s voice rang out in the guild channel at this precise moment.

”Hey, has everyone heard? The people from Snowy Cathaya found a drop called the Split Galaxy War Boots! I heard that it's part of a Level 125 equipment set that’s really strong!”

I immediately answered in a dry voice, ”Yeah, we know.”

He Yi continued, ”Then we need to work hard too! I also heard that Candle Dragon, Warsky Alliance, and Purple Lily are killing these Star Rhinos at a crazy pace and that the Star Dragon Domain has become a battleground where all the big guilds are competing to get as many Split Galaxy sets as possible! It seems as if everyone has come to the same conclusion, because these sets will be crucial in the upcoming wars for dominance.”

I nodded my head. ”We only need to dispatch a few assassins to find the boss and monitor its movements. We need to sweep this map clean of Star Rhinos, even if it takes us several nights to do so! We can’t afford to gather less Split Galaxy sets than Candle Dragon or Warsky Alliance.”

Chaos Moon: ”That’s right, that’s right! Everyone, good luck with your grinding! I’ll be cheering you on from the distance!”

I replied, ”Chaos Moon, what are you even doing right now?”

Chaos Moon said, ”I’m going around picking herbs and making some Rank 9 potions to sell. My Alchemy is almost at Rank 10!”

Xu Yang replied in admiration, ”Ah, you really are a good and dutiful lady…”

Li Chengfeng shouted, ”That’s right! Date me please!”

Chaos Moon’s guard was up. ”Cut it out! The both of you are clearly looking at my Rank 10 Alchemy and not me!”

……

I closed the chat window and continued grinding Star Rhinos. These monsters with both high HP and formidable Defense were a pain in the neck to kill, it didn’t feel good grinding them at all. This was especially true because of their Heaven Vortex skill. It meant that only a few melee fighters could press in to kill them at the same time. If a few more joined in, our priests wouldn’t be able to keep up their healing and the continuous damage of Heaven Vortex would inevitably kill a few of them. I mean, it even dealt slightly over ten thousand damage to me, and that was despite my high Magic Resist, to say nothing of the other members.

After we grinded for a while, Beiming Xue suddenly pointed at a corner of the plains and grinned. ”Big bro, look there. Don’t you feel like saying something after seeing something like that?”

”Oh?”

My eyes followed Beiming Xue’s fingers to the spot that she was pointing at. To my shock, I discovered an enormous set of dragon bones strewn across the corner of the mountain range. The bones were arranged against the mountain in such a way that it resembled the opening of a wine gourd. This opening was facing the outside and the area within could hold quite a few people. This was practically a naturally formed choke point! A choke point that could be blocked with a single player! This was something we needed the most right now.

My eyes immediately lit up with joy as I grabbed Beiming Xue’s shoulders. ”Hahaha! Well done! Alright, let’s do this! Everyone, let’s start sweeping away these mobs! Killing them one by one nearly bored me to death!”

Beiming Xue laughed. ”Yeah, I was bored out of my mind!”
