The man-eating bugs scattered throughout this factory aren't very high-level, ranging between levels 3 and 4, after all, the difficulty coefficient of the "Patricide Revenge" quest is only 20.
[Man-eating Bug] (Physical Normal Monster):
- Level: 4
- Talent: Corrosion Damage (The man-eating bug's attack can seep its own venom into the enemy's body, causing a corrosion effect, losing 5 HP per second for 3 seconds)
- Physical Attack: 18
- Physical Defense: 9
- Magic Defense: 7
- HP: 180
- Description: Originally living underground, these bugs mutated due to environntal pollution and now feed on humans. If you don't want to be eaten, it's best to stay away...
Although a level 4 monster is two levels higher than Zhang Yi, with the early-ga artifact-like 25-pound iron hamr in hand, Zhang Yi doesn't even need to take it seriously.
The quest requires killing a total of 100 man-eating bugs, which is purely a stamina task.
So, locking onto the nearest level 4 man-eating bug, Zhang Yi approached with his large iron hamr.
"Roar!"
As Zhang Yi got closer, the man-eating bug, which was gnawing on a worker's corpse, noticed him and quickly crawled over.
Zhang Yi continued to approach nonchalantly until the bug was right in front of him.
With a "bang," he smashed the hamr down on its head—
-47!
For a new player, the man-eating bug's 9 points of defense is actually quite high. Without a decent weapon or at least reaching level 4 with full stat allocation, challenging a man-eating bug with just a novice sword is tantamount to suicide.
But for Zhang Yi, this was just an experience monster.
As a newbie monster, the man-eating bug's attack speed was very slow, so before it could counterattack, Zhang Yi's second hamr had already landed, dealing another 47 points of damage.
With a nimble move to dodge the bug's attack, two more hamr blows finished it off easily.
He gained 12 EXP and 2 copper coins, advancing the "Patricide Revenge" quest progress to 1/100.
Having killed the man-eating bug without taking any damage, Zhang Yi didn't need to recover. He swung his large iron hamr and locked onto the next target.
Bang bang bang!
The entire factory echoed with the crisp sound of the hamr striking the hard carapace of the man-eating bugs, mixed with their shrill wails.
After killing several man-eating bugs in a row, just as Zhang Yi smashed down to finish the eighth one, a sudden commotion erupted above his head.
The originally calm Zhang Yi was startled, and when he looked up, he was shocked to see a massive purple space-ti rift tearing open in the air above the factory, as if ripping the sky apart.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a gigantic fire dragon, its body ablaze, leaped out of the rift, opening its massive jaws to unleash a scorching dragon fla towards the ground!
Whoosh—
Centered on Zhang Yi, who instinctively shielded his eyes with his hands, the dragon fla instantly covered a radius of a hundred ters around him, engulfing the large area of man-eating bugs.
Amidst the crackling sounds, a large group of man-eating bugs around him had white true damage numbers popping above their heads—
-69!
Imdiately afterward, the bugs that took damage had a continuous burning true damage of -40 popping up every second, their health bars depleting rapidly. In just a few seconds, dozens of man-eating bugs within a 100-ter radius around Zhang Yi were all burned to death!
The dragon and the rift in the air disappeared, leaving Zhang Yi staring in shock at the countless charred corpses of man-eating bugs around him, listening to the continuous battle notifications in his ears—
"Ding~ You killed a level 3 [Man-eating Bug], EXP 6!"
"Ding~ You killed a level 4 [Man-eating Bug], EXP 12!"
Swish!
A golden light descended, and Zhang Yi directly leveled up from 80% of level 2 to 57% of level 3!
It wasn't until he opened the battle log that Zhang Yi realized it was his normal attack that had triggered the Dragon Bloodline's exclusive skill, Hellfire Dragon Fla!
The golden Lv1 Hellfire Dragon Fla, with a one-in-a-thousand chance of triggering, could deal 150% attack power in true damage to all hostile targets within a 100-ter radius around Zhang Yi, along with a 30% attack power burning damage that lasted for 5 seconds and couldn't be dispelled.
With Zhang Yi's 26 attack power, combined with the Serious Injury's 30 damage bonus, the Hellfire Dragon Fla had wiped out the entire group of level 3-4 man-eating bugs in one go!
After being stunned for a long ti, Zhang Yi finally uttered, "Dragon Bloodline is aweso..."
And this was just the effect at level 1. If the Hellfire Dragon Fla were upgraded to level 10 in the future, it would be unstoppable!
In the eyes of other new players, solo-killing a level 3 monster is already a luxury, but Zhang Yi was already farming level 4 man-eating bugs...
Opening the quest interface, the quest progress jumped from 8/100 to 55/100, as that single dragon fla had wiped out 47 man-eating bugs!
Seeing the loot scattered all around, Zhang Yi's eyes lit up.
It took him 3 minutes to collect all the items dropped by those 47 man-eating bugs, totaling 70 copper coins, 5 Level 1 Enhancent Stones, and a One-Star Treasure Chest.
The drop rate of equipnt from Apocalypse monsters had been criticized by countless players in the past life, so it was within Zhang Yi's expectations that over 40 monsters didn't drop a single piece of equipnt. The drop rate for enhancent stones was 10%. However, the One-Star Treasure Chest was an unexpected gain.
As everyone knows, treasure chests are harder to obtain than equipnt, so this was a stroke of luck...
If it contained equipnt, a One-Star Treasure Chest would at least yield one-star equipnt, with a small chance of two-star equipnt.
Opening a One-Star Treasure Chest doesn't require a key.
Perhaps Zhang Yi's luck had run out after getting that treasure chest, as when he opened it, he received 10 Level 1 Enhancent Stones and a piece of one-star armor—
[Man-eating Bug Boots]:
- Quality: 1 Star
- Physical Defense: 8
- Magic Defense: 6
- Class Restriction: None
- Level Requirent: 4
- Description: Crafted by combining the hard carapace and soft belly of a man-eating bug, these genuine leather boots are tough on the outside and soft on the inside, protecting your feet from harm while providing unparalleled comfort...
Although it's one-star quality, these level 4 boots are far superior to the level 1 novice boots with an additional 2 points of defense that Zhang Yi currently wears.
This is just the basic attribute; the higher the basic attribute, the greater the enhancent benefits.
So, without hesitation, Zhang Yi took out the accumulated 25 Level 1 Enhancent Stones from his bag and used them all on these new shoes.
Ding...
Ding...
Ding...
"Ding~ Enhancent successful, congratulations, your equipnt [Man-eating Bug Boots] has been enhanced to 25, unlocking the exclusive talent [Infinite Evasion]!"
