Chapter 63: Fire Candle!
Fire Candle Manor.
Li Xiang, who had been replying to congratulatory messages from friends along the way, arrived here.
This was the only path to Savage Mine. Last time, when going to the mine for a quest, he passed by without stopping, but this time Li Xiang stopped.
"Let's first verify the power of the new Divine Artifact!"
The Monsters in Fire Candle Manor were a group of candles floating in the air, about the length of an adult's forearm. They didn't look like much during the day, but coming here at night was quite eerie.
Closing the friend panel, Li Xiang's gaze fell on a Fire Candle in front.
【LV25. Fire Candle】
Quality: Normal
HP: 16990
Magic Attack: 1198~1244
Physical Defense: 477
Magic Defense: 1314
Skills: Fireball, Fire Wax Adhesion, Self-Immolation
【Commentary: A group of Fire Candles floating in the air. Don't get close, they'll burn You to ashes!】
It was a magic Monster, with a pathetic physical defense of just over four hundred and only seventeen thousand HP.
As soon as Li Xiang approached, he was targeted by a Fire Candle, and a Fireball shot towards Li Xiang.
-678
The damage was decent.
Li Xiang held the storm divine sword, and with one swing, directly struck the Fire Candle's wick.
-29167
Instantly, the Fire Candle's wick extinguished and fell to the ground.
"Ding! Cross-level kill of Normal Monster 'Fire Candle', gained EXP x18805."
Looking at the nearly twenty thousand EXP, Li Xiang's mouth curved upwards.
"Awesome!!!"
"The new Divine Artifact is fierce!!!"
A level 25 Monster instantly killed!!!
Killing this Fire Candle attracted the aggro of multiple other Fire Candles, and suddenly more than ten Fire Candles floated towards Li Xiang.
Li Xiang was extremely excited and directly charged into the group of Fire Candles.
One sword strike!
Normal Attack turned into area damage.
-28899
-29107
...
Large damage values and numerous kill notifications appeared.
More than ten Fire Candles couldn't last three seconds against Li Xiang and all died, contributing nearly three hundred thousand EXP to Li Xiang.
"The feeling of instant kill is just amazing!!!"
On the ground, dozens of silver coins and candles dropped.
Li Xiang picked them all up.
"Exquisite Candle: A candle of good quality, can burn for a long time, illuminating a considerable area."
It was a small item, Li Xiang put it away.
"No more fighting here, the EXP gain is low. To Savage Mine!"
Li Xiang immediately headed towards Savage Mine.
The time spent synthesizing the equipment was not short, it took a full two hours, and the in-game time had already reached the afternoon.
After a few more hours of fighting, it would be dark.
Just like in Novice Village, when it gets dark in the game, Monsters become more frenzied and their aggro range increases. Easily... do not go out.
After arriving at Savage Mine.
Li Xiang prepared to collect the fragments of the Savage Mine mining rights.
The Monsters here were level 30, and the EXP gain was very generous, quite suitable.
Demon Flame Slash!
Surging Demon Flame instantly attached to the storm divine sword.
Long-range release, Demon Flame!!!
The Demon Flame instantly engulfed a newly spawned level 30 Normal Monster, Savage Foreman.
A high damage value erupted.
-53027
"Ding! Cross-level kill of Normal Monster 'Savage Foreman', gained EXP x46012."
Clatter, a piece of equipment dropped.
"Awesome!"
Li Xiang was stunned by this damage value.
It wasn't a critical hit, just a normal Demon Warrior exclusive skill, yet the damage was so high!!!
This was still under the condition that he was level 23 and the Monster was level 30, with a significant level suppression.
If there were no level suppression, how much more damage could he deal?!
Picking up the level 30 no-quality equipment dropped by the Savage Foreman and casually putting it into his backpack, Li Xiang looked at the next Savage Foreman.
Charge!
Hit!
-30165
The Savage Foreman was left with only a sliver of health.
"Didn't die!"
Another sword strike!
-26207
"Ding! Cross-level kill of Normal Monster 'Savage Foreman', gained EXP x46012."
After this brief battle, Li Xiang also figured out his current damage.
"There are fewer Monsters outside, let's go into the mine to fight!"
"The mining rights should only drop from the BOSS! I wonder if the Mine Foreman Boss has refreshed."
Entering the mine, before going too deep, he encountered Brute Foreman, a level 30 Elite Monster.
Looking at the Brute Foreman with over sixty thousand HP, Li Xiang charged forward with the storm divine sword.
Before the Brute Foreman could react.
Charge had already been activated!
Hit!
-29165
Stun!
Triggered Shadow Ambush!
-29165
The Monster's HP became low.
Triggered Paralysis effect.
Li Xiang paused for a moment before remembering this was the effect of the paralysis ring on him.
Attacks have a 33% chance to paralyze the target!
A sword slash came out.
-25394
A Wind Wrap appeared from the storm divine sword, but the Monster was already dead, so it didn't deal damage.
"Ding! Cross-level kill of Elite Monster 'Brute Foreman', gained EXP x82821."
"It has to be an Elite Monster! The EXP gain is high!"
Li Xiang immediately went deeper.
Within dozens of meters, a group of Brute Foremen appeared.
Li Xiang excitedly charged into the Monster group.
A sword strike fell.
Normal Attack turned into area damage!
-25394
Wind Wrap appeared, and another damage value of -25777 popped up above this Brute Foreman, while his body was carried by the Wind Wrap, staggering back more than a meter.
-25867
-25258
Triggered Shadow Ambush!
-25258
...
With just one sword strike, he dealt hundreds of thousands of damage in total!
Several unlucky Brute Foremen triggered the dual effects of Shadow Ambush and Wind Wrap and were instantly killed!!!
"Ding! Cross-level kill of Elite Monster 'Brute Foreman', gained EXP x82821."
"Ding! Cross-level kill of Elite Monster 'Brute Foreman', gained EXP x82821."
...
Less than ten seconds later, more than ten Brute Foremen all fell, contributing over a million EXP and a ground covered in materials and gold coins.
Cleaning up the battlefield, Li Xiang happily continued forward.
The mine he entered this time was different from the last time, so at the very end, besides the darkness, there was no sign of Mark, the quest NPC.
Lighting a candle, in the flickering candlelight, the bulky figure in the corner moved.
Li Xiang raised an eyebrow!
"Holy crap!!! Such good luck? The BOSS spawned?!"
As soon as Li Xiang finished speaking, a huge rock flew over.
Guardian Shield opened!
-3856
The candle was extinguished, and the environment returned to darkness.
The Mine Foreman Boss walked out of the shadows, just about to speak, when Li Xiang's sword struck his face.
"Don't talk, let me hit!"
-23721
Triggered Wind Wrap!
-23778
Knockback effect is ineffective against BOSS.
Triggered Shadow Ambush.
-23721
In just an instant, the Mine Foreman Boss's 680,000 HP was reduced by a tenth.
"Gotta use skills!"
Wind and Thunder Descend!!!
Instantly, countless lightning bolts gathered from all directions, converging on the storm divine sword.
The entire dark environment was immediately illuminated by the lightning.
Fear appeared in the BOSS's eyes, wanting to escape, but...
The lightning had already transferred from the storm divine sword to his body.
Boom!!!
Rumble!!!
Intense thunder reverberated throughout the entire mine.
