Chapter 292: Skill Solidification Orb!
While Li Xiang had Lu Qingshui find a vantage point, he started picking up the spoils of war.
Li Xiang was no longer very interested in the items dropped by ordinary BOSSes.
His equipment was too top-tier.
No matter how good the equipment dropped by a Platinum-grade BOSS was, it couldn't compare to the items on him.
But...
These monsters with a 'difficult' prefix would drop some special items, and Li Xiang was extremely looking forward to them.
As expected, among a host of rare materials, Li Xiang found something that excited him so much he wanted to sing!
「Skill Solidification Orb: Can solidify an attached skill on equipment into your own skill bar. Attached skills solidified into the skill bar cannot be upgraded, and the attached skill on the equipment will disappear.」
"It's actually such a good thing!!!"
Li Xiang's eyes could light up like a 200-watt light bulb!!!
For ordinary players, the value of this orb might not be great.
But Li Xiang was different.
He had too many god-level pieces of equipment.
After switching to new god-level equipment, the original equipment could only be left in his backpack to gather dust. Equipment of this level couldn't be given away; if outsiders got their hands on it, it would cause trouble for Li Xiang.
Therefore, how to deal with the replaced god-level equipment had always given Li Xiang a headache.
Those replaced god-level equipment pieces were only outdated in terms of stats, but the attached skills were one better than the last, not much worse than the attached skills on his current god-level equipment.
"President, I found it! I'll take you there!"
"Okay!"
Li Xiang followed Lu Qingshui, while also opening his backpack to look through the attached skills on the replaced god-level equipment.
"Let's solidify one first..."
"Which one is good..."
Li Xiang's gaze scanned through all the attached skills on the replaced god-level equipment.
"Ending Swing, World Destruction Strike, Root Devastation, Guardian Shield..."
They were all ridiculously strong attack skills and invincible defense skills.
Choosing one was really a headache.
Li Xiang assessed his own abilities.
The Level 50 demon god halberd was also starting to struggle to instantly kill the increasing number of top-tier monsters appearing, which meant the demon god halberd was also nearing retirement.
The highest level of ordinary equipment sold in the City was also Level 50; higher-level equipment required manual farming.
Li Xiang had received the news in advance.
After Level 70, the equipment drop rate would be significantly adjusted, and the drop rate for higher-level equipment would also increase, reducing the difficulty of collecting equipment sets.
That would be the time when new equipment is crafted.
But for now, he still needed to use the equipment he had.
In terms of output, although he was starting to not instantly kill, with Li Xiang's set of abilities, it was just a matter of spending a little more time; it wasn't a big deal.
In terms of defense, his current defense value was unaffected by most monsters, except for a few exceptionally strong ones.
Therefore, choosing which skill to solidify was indeed a bit of a challenge.
In other words, any choice would work...
It was precisely because any choice would work that Li Xiang had a headache.
Naming is difficult...
Choosing is also difficult...
"...Let's choose a control skill..."
Because he was strong, the only things that could stop Li Xiang's progress were extremely powerful BOSSes.
Ordinary skills couldn't control BOSSes.
Just like the previous Cardinal in Red, Li Xiang's attack could break through his defense, but the problem was that the Cardinal in Red's damage was higher, and it was extremely difficult to find a safe space to output damage.
If he had a control skill that could restrain the Cardinal in Red at that time, Chen Sisi wouldn't have had any opportunity to act.
"If it's a control skill... there's Years of Submergence, a hard control that lasts for 15 seconds, with a cooldown of only 20 minutes."
"There's also Wind and Thunder Descend, a slightly softer control, with a hundred times magic damage plus 20 seconds of paralysis."
"But... paralysis effect is not a strong control; if the target has high resistance, they can still attack... but the cooldown is very short, only 5 minutes, which can be used as a regular skill."
"Or Godless... strips the target's magic power for ten minutes... This skill against a magic BOSS like the Cardinal in Red would be invincible... but the cooldown is as long as 24 hours!!! PASS for now."
"Or choose Wind God, invincible for 3 minutes, attack speed and movement speed are increased by 10 times for 5 minutes! And it can deal two hundred times damage to the first target that gets close!"
But the cooldown is too long, up to 12 hours... it's a trump card skill."
"..."
After considering everything, Li Xiang chose the Wind and Thunder Descend skill.
The 5-minute cooldown was too tempting!
The 20-second paralysis effect was also extremely strong.
A target in a paralyzed state has reduced speed, or even becomes stiff, attacks may have a chance of not being released, and the interval between attacks will increase, while skill cast times and stiffness will both become longer.
Overall, the paralysis effect can greatly weaken the target's output and restrict the target's movements.
Solidify!!!
「Wind and Thunder Descend: Storm and lightning, descend! Gather all wind and thunder power to deal 10000% magic damage to a single target and paralyze the target for 20s (this effect is effective against BOSSes)!」
Cooldown: 5min
「Ding! Consuming Skill Solidification Orb, skill 'Wind and Thunder Descend' solidified successfully!」
Seeing the Wind and Thunder Descend icon added to his skill bar, Li Xiang curled the corner of his mouth.
"Very good!!!"
Now, he had another top-tier regular output skill!
Although it wasn't mixed damage, with a hundred times magic damage, measured against Li Xiang's current magic attack, it was extremely high output!!!
"President, we've arrived!"
The high point Lu Qingshui found was the spire of the Priest tower in this small town; from there, they could see the next town under attack.
Because ten small towns were under attack, the distances between them were not far.
Li Xiang directly used God's Flash to cross over.
...
Huangzhu Town.
One of the small towns currently under attack.
The Guild team led by Wang Zhiyan was in this town.
Currently, the entire battlefield was filled with poisonous smoke.
The longer she stayed on the battlefield, the higher the damage of Wang Zhiyan's poison became; this was the effect of her Divine-grade ability.
It could be said that Wang Zhiyan alone was a war machine!!!
Except for herself, no players dared to enter the range of the poison circle.
Even the enhanced Undead Legion monsters couldn't withstand her poison, let alone ordinary players; entering was just sending sin points to Wang Zhiyan.
They could only pick off the residual health monsters that managed to escape from the poison mist.
However, this situation changed after the Undead Knights appeared. The Undead Knights couldn't be killed by the poison mist. After charging out, they immediately attacked Wang Zhiyan.
The members of the Gods Guild had anticipated this and immediately stepped forward to tank the damage.
But, accompanied by the sound of a horn, the Undead Mammoth Knight appeared.
The battle took a one-sided turn, with the Undead Mammoth Knight immediately charging towards Wang Zhiyan.
As a war machine on the battlefield, Wang Zhiyan's own defensive capability wasn't outstanding. Seeing such a powerful BOSS charging at her, she knew she couldn't withstand it and could only try to deal more damage before she died.
However, the Undead Mammoth Knight's defense was too high, and her poison was ineffective.
"This is difficult... I didn't expect such a strong BOSS..."
With a bitter smile, Wang Zhiyan prepared to 'get her bento' (die).
Suddenly, a circle of light appeared next to the BOSS.
The familiar demon god halberd appeared.
Stab!
A large patch of thunder clouds appeared in the sky.
Lightning was dense, with Thunder Dragons winding through it, descending thickly!!!
