Chapter 52: Blood God's Greed!
Li Xiang came to the shore.
The Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King also followed to the shore.
At this moment, its health had already dropped by half and was still continuously falling.
Shining Radiance could deal 5978 damage to it at once.
This damage value was a fixed damage per second.
With its 336430 health, it could only withstand 67 hits, which was 67 seconds.
Now, over 30 seconds had passed.
The Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King, who had lost half its health, roared.
It felt too stifled.
To think it was a dignified Silver-grade BOSS, yet it lost half its health without even touching its opponent. How embarrassing!!!
Following its roar, a large number of Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodiles emerged from beneath the swamp.
As soon as these Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodiles appeared, they lunged towards Li Xiang.
Li Xiang got excited.
Just now, he was worried about not having any monsters to fight.
Now they were delivered.
All the Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodiles began losing health as soon as they entered the range of Shining Radiance.
They only had 17700 health. It was a matter of 5 seconds; they couldn't even reach Li Xiang before they were taken care of.
「Ding! Over-leveled kill of normal monster 'Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodile', gained experience x21933」
「Ding! Over-leveled kill of normal monster 'Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodile', gained experience x21933」
...
【Ding! Divine-grade ability 'Blessing of the God of Combat' condition met: Attacking 'Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodile' triggers instant kill!】
More than thirty Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodiles summoned by the Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King hadn't even contributed to their king before they provided Li Xiang with hundreds of thousands of experience points and triggered the instant kill effect of 'Blessing of the God of Combat'.
At this time, the Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King's health was even lower.
Seeing its underlings die as soon as they appeared.
The Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King was unwilling and roared again, summoning more underlings.
This time, over fifty Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodiles appeared within the range of Shining Radiance.
Li Xiang was so happy his mouth couldn't close.
“This is too polite...”
-17700
-17700
Instant kill!!!
Instant kill!!!
Still instant kill!!!
The moment all the Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodiles appeared, they were enveloped by Shining Radiance and immediately fell!
「Ding! Over-leveled kill of normal monster 'Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodile', gained experience x21933」
「Ding! Over-leveled kill of normal monster 'Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodile', gained experience x21933」
...
A million experience points were credited.
The Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King's health also dropped to the bottom, only a little over a hundred thousand. Perhaps its underlings were exhausted, and it no longer summoned them, deciding to fight to the death with its remaining health!
The effect of Shining Radiance also ended, and the huge circular magic array disappeared.
The Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King roared and lunged over.
Monstrous Strength Pounce!!!
Li Xiang raised his root staff!
The Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King's skill hit Li Xiang!
-3124
Counterattack triggered, reflecting the current damage back to the opponent.
Li Xiang's health deduction was 0, and -3124 damage appeared from the Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King!
Counter Blood linkage!
-1469
The root staff hit the Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King.
-9846!
Critical hit, Rage bonus, critical hit rate increased!
Shadow Ambush triggered.
-9846!
As Li Xiang's staff was about to fall again, suddenly, a blood-red line flew out from Li Xiang's body, and a huge, majestic red figure descended above the Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King's body.
Blood-red chains appeared from the red figure's hand, connecting Li Xiang and the Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King.
A system prompt appeared.
【Ding! Divine-grade ability 'Blood God's Approval's 'Blood God's Greed' triggered: Plundering 100% of 'Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King's remaining health (61290) to increase health limit.】
「Ding! Health limit +61290, current health limit: 75986」
With the appearance of these two system prompts, the red figure and the chains all disappeared.
The Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King's remaining health bar was instantly emptied.
-61290
「Ding! Over-leveled kill of Silver BOSS 'Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King', gained experience x887150, BOSS points x4」
Plop.
A large number of items dropped from the Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King's body.
Li Xiang was still in shock.
“It actually... triggered so quickly?!”
Looking at the 75986 marked in the health section of his panel, Li Xiang felt it was truly dreamlike!
The Level 20 Black Iron BOSS Great Tree Demon Leader only had 143,000 health!!
He, a player of a similar level, had his health reach seventy-five thousand!!!
Strong!!!
He was getting further and further away from the direction of a humanoid BOSS!
“Strong!! Awesome!!”
Li Xiang opened his ability panel to check the effect of Counter Blood.
「Counter Blood: After the Counterattack effect is triggered, it will counter 7599 (10% of own health) true damage to the target.」
“With these stats now, standing among a group of monsters of the same level, he wouldn't have to do anything and could counter-kill a large area in a few seconds!!!”
“He could directly declare himself invincible!!”
After calming down, Li Xiang began to clean up the battlefield.
From arriving at the swamp to killing the BOSS, he had killed a total of 121 Monstrous Strength Swamp Crocodiles.
A large number of items dropped.
This area was still undeveloped; Li Xiang was the first player to arrive, so the drop rate was very high.
Just equipment alone, 87 pieces dropped, including 74 White-grade and 13 black iron grade equipment!!!
Normal monsters dropping black iron grade equipment required over-leveled kills, first exploration, good luck, and a large number of kills – none could be missing!
As the protagonist, the Silver-grade BOSS Strange Strength Swamp Crocodile King dropped 2 pieces of Silver-grade equipment and one piece of Gold-grade equipment.
The 2 pieces of Silver-grade equipment had decent stats, but they were not usable by Li Xiang.
The Gold-grade equipment was a wristguard.
【Monstrous Strength Wristguard】
Quality: Gold
Part: Wristguard
Health +529
Strength +55
Spirit +33
Physical Defense: 106
Durability: 100
Required Level: 20
Restriction: Warrior
【Commentary: A wristguard imbued with monstrous strength. Wear it, and your strength will be immensely powerful!】
“As a Level 20 Gold-grade equipment, the stats are excellent!!!”
“It's quite a bit better than the Platinum-grade Leader's Wristguard he was wearing!!!”
“Restricted profession... Warrior...”
“I wonder if I can equip it after changing professions.”
After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Xiang directly took out a Town Portal Stone and readied to return to town.
The requirement for the first ring of the hidden profession quest was completed. He would go back to turn in the quest and get the next ring!!!
The 8-second countdown for returning to town ended, and Li Xiang appeared at the resurrection point in Wu Shuang City.
“Qu Ming Qu Ming?!”
A voice called out to Li Xiang.
“It's You... Kuangye...”
“I am Kuangye Xiongqi! President of the Wild Guild!”
Kuangye Xiongqi quickly revealed his ID.
“Oh... You... returned to town too.”
The two weren't familiar, so Li Xiang didn't know what to say.
Kuangye Xiongqi nodded repeatedly, showing a troubled expression, “Ah... I just returned from the 'Bandit Plagued' dungeon. The dungeon is too difficult to clear; we're only at 30% progress now.”
Bandit Plagued?
“Is it the Level 10 team dungeon outside the city?”
Hearing Li Xiang's question, Kuangye Xiongqi nodded repeatedly again, “Yes, yes. Currently, all the major Guilds are clearing the dungeon, competing for the first clear...”
After speaking, he looked at Li Xiang and carefully said, “Lord... Is your faction not attempting it?”
Li Xiang smiled, “I prefer to be alone.”
His words were very vague, not denying the existence of a faction.
Kuangye Xiongqi quickly added, “Lord... If... I mean if... If I wanted to ask for your help to clear the dungeon... Would You agree?”
