RoleplayNovel Chapter 88 [The Corrupted Crystal Bear]
Chapter 88 [The Corrupted Crystal Bear]
The overwhelming range of [Universal Pull] and the straight-line penetration of [Star Ray] are sufficient to handle the vast majority of situations.
Lin Tian's current monster-killing efficiency is comparable to that of a humanoid self-propelled strategic artillery turret.
The only thing that can limit him is the monster respawn rate.
During efficient monster-hunting, there will naturally be a variety of drops.
Most of them are ordinary white or green equipment of grade E and D, as well as some materials such as [Rotten Wood Core], [Hard Shell], and [Shadow Fur].
Lin Tian only kept those with relatively better attributes:
【Rotten Wood Staff】(D grade, level 20, spell attack +120, spirit +50)
[Giant Ant Leggings] (C-grade, Level 22, Agility +50, Physical Defense +100)
【Shadow Leather Armor】(Tier D, Level 25, Agility +20, Physical Defense +120)
......
Lin Tian directly used his talent to upgrade the equipment he found without consuming any resources.
[Rotten Wood Staff] From Grade D to Grade C, Spell Attack +150, Spirit +70;
[Giant Ant Leggings] From C grade to B grade, Agility +60, Physical Defense +120;
[Shadow Leather Armor] From D grade to C grade, Agility +30, Physical Defense +150;
Although the improved attributes are still not enough for Lin Tian, who already has a full set of top-tier equipment or is about to upgrade to a higher-level set, they are already considered rare and high-quality items for ordinary players at this stage.
Lin Tian put all the upgraded equipment into his backpack, planning to sell it in his two shops after returning to the city and make a small profit.
As for those plain, unimportant equipment and low-level materials that he didn't even consider worthwhile, he simply discarded them.
—The backpack only has 81 slots, which is really limited, so we have to be very careful with our resources.
"I need to expand my backpack space after returning to the city." Lin Tian silently made a note of this.
With his monster-killing efficiency, a large backpack is a must.
Although the drop rate of ordinary monsters is very low, Lin Tian's monster-killing efficiency is too high.
Despite the intense push in just two hours, he still managed to accumulate a considerable amount of spoils.
Even more fortunately, during this time he discovered several treasure chests hidden in extremely concealed places:
An old iron treasure chest (E grade) half-buried under rotting leaves.
Because his rank was too low, Lin Tian directly used his talent to upgrade it without any cost, bringing it to rank D.
I got 100 silver coins, as well as some low-level materials such as [Silverlight Grass] and [Fragments of Glimmer].
A fine silver treasure chest (D grade) hanging on the branch of a huge withered tree, cleverly concealed by vines.
After being upgraded for free, it becomes a C-rank item.
I got a C-grade [Swift Boots] (Agility +40, Spell Defense +120), which is considered a pretty good item, along with a few [Basic Health Potions] and [Basic Mana Potions].
There is also a magic treasure chest (C-grade) that is almost integrated with a rotten tree hole.
After the free upgrade, it becomes a B-grade item.
Finally, I got something decent—a skill book called [Vine Entanglement] (D grade, summons vines to bind a single enemy, making them unable to move for a period of time).
Lin Tian glanced at the skill description of [Entangled Vines] and decisively tossed it into a corner of his backpack.
"Short control time, single effect, low rank, and it's only a single target... Let's sell it for money."
He's currently short on skill points, so it's impossible for him to use them on learning such low-level skills. He might consider passive skills, though.
All of what he found after unpacking became his inventory to sell.
Just as Lin Tian was about to completely cross the Corrupted Forest with Celia and head to a higher-level area, a deafening roar filled with a violent aura suddenly came from the deepest part of the forest!
roar--!!"
The roar contained a powerful shockwave that shook the surrounding trees, causing leaves to flutter and fall.
Immediately afterwards, the ground began to shake violently, as if some enormous creature was charging fiercely!
In the distance, swathes of trees collapsed under the weight, and a passage was forcibly smashed open!
boom! boom! boom!
The heavy footsteps, like the beating of drums, grew ever closer.
Finally, a colossal creature burst through the forest and appeared before Lin Tian.
That was a giant bear, the size of a small house!
Its fur was an unhealthy grayish-black, but its body was covered with a thick layer of dark purple crystals that seemed to grow from within its body. These crystals shimmered with an eerie light in the dim light.
Its eyes were blood-red, and its exposed fangs resembled two curved bone knives, dripping with corrosive saliva.
A thick, dark, corrupting aura wafted over.
【Corrupted Crystal Bear】(BOSS)
Rating: 25
Health Points: 1,200,000 / 1,200,000
Skills: Earthquake Tremor, Crystal Spike Spray, Frenzied Bite, Corruption Burst (triggered when health is below 30%)
"A level 25 world boss?" Lin Tian's eyes lit up, revealing an interested expression. "Perfect, give me some good equipment. Some of my current gear really needs upgrading."
After saying that, he attacked without hesitation, giving the BOSS no chance to use any skills.
"Law Imprisonment!"
Four dark golden chains, imbued with the power of absolute rules, instantly emerged from the void and precisely wrapped around him!
The Corrupted Crystal Bear had just let out a defiant roar when its massive body suddenly stiffened. Its limbs and torso were tightly bound by dark gold chains, rendering it unable to move!
"Universal Guidance!"
A terrifying gravitational field descended instantly, enveloping the enormous crystal bear that was frozen in place!
The powerful tearing force and crushing energy acted violently on its crystal-covered body!
-902890! -902890!
Huge damage numbers rained down from the BOSS's head like a bloodbath!
Nearly a million damage per second!
The BOSS's 120 million HP disappeared at a visible speed!
It couldn't even let out a decent howl, lasting for less than 2 seconds!
With a brief whimper filled with resentment and disbelief, the massive body of the Corrupted Crystal Bear trembled violently before crashing to the ground!
The dark purple crystals on its body surface shattered inch by inch, turning into pure dark energy and dissipating. Its massive body, like a sand sculpture blown away by the wind, quickly turned into countless black and gray light spots and disappeared.
On the ground, a small pile of glittering spoils remained.
A level 25 world boss made a grand entrance and then made a dejected exit, all in just two seconds.
It didn't even get Lin Tian to use his second skill.
