Chapter 522 - 490: It Turns Out All the Nutrition is in the Soup
When Blood Eagle once again flew over the target area, Skyshattering Thunder’s army and convoy had already begun to make camp in the wilderness at the foot of the Snow Mountain.
In other words, Skyshattering Thunder was just one volcanic scene away from Da Fei. A surge of immense crisis welled up in Da Fei’s heart, but what good would panicking do? If push came to shove, his only option would be to abandon these dead-weight dwarves and run for it.
Da Fei gritted his teeth and managed to find the location where he had slain the Ice Mountain Giant Monster. Just then, Da Fei saw a strange scene: the shattered icy body of the giant monster was slowly reassembling!
Damn it, so it isn’t dead after all? Or could it be that the monsters here have divine properties and are essentially immortal? No time to think about that—let Xiao Fei go down and peck at it a bit to test!
Xiao Fei materialized and landed on the snowy ground, pecking at a slowly moving ice chunk, and a red "-1" damage floated up!
Holy shit, it really isn’t dead!
And just at that moment, sparks like white mist seeped from the pecked ice and rushed toward Xiao Fei, whose Divine Artifact shard in the Equipment Bar began to gleam brightly!
Da Fei’s eyelids twitched in shock, it can be absorbed! It really can! These monsters truly possess divinity!
Before long, the sparks disappeared, and the ice chunk exploded with a tremendous crash, turning into a puddle of water, which then turned into frost under the chilly winds blowing across Snow Mountain.
Holy shit! All that divine energy sucked dry, turned into water—surely it must be dead now? So what are we waiting for? Hurry up and peck all the other still-moving ice chunks to pieces!
So Xiao Fei went around, absorbing all the active ice chunks, turning them into frost! And when the last ice chunk crumbled, the System Prompt chimed!
——System Prompt: Your Reconnaissance Eagle Xiao Fei has slain the Leader-level creature "Ice Mountain Roarer" during an Independent Expedition, obtaining the spoils of war "Frost Ring".
——Frost Ring: A-grade tactical equipment, Magic Power +10, Knowledge +10, Frost Magic damage +10%.
Oh, bleh! Da Fei couldn’t help but burst out laughing! Damn it, even the equipment dropped, so this counts as a last hit? Turns out Skyshattering Thunder, the idiot, didn’t drop anything—what was he so happy about? Is he satisfied with just some Experience? What a bumpkin!
Haha! Wahahaha! Not only did it absorb divine energy, but it also allowed Xiao Fei to independently land the final blow, and even equipment was looted—it all went into the soup! The thought of scoring such a great deal made Da Fei burst into peals of laughter!
However, there was a slight disappointment: Xiao Fei didn’t receive any growth updates from that last hit. Is it that Xiao Fei’s growth becomes increasingly difficult in the later stages, or is it that a boss in such a state lacks nutrients? Anyway, never mind, grab whatever can be grabbed—even if he, the brother, gets chased out, he’d have at least something to console himself.
Now that the big monster had been drained, the smaller ones shouldn’t be overlooked. Sure enough, just like the boss, they were also slowly reassembling their bodies, but theirs was obviously much slower.
Well then, don’t mind if I do.
No expectations for you to drop any equipment, just gift some divine energy along with some growth experience for Xiao Fei, wahahaha!
A moment later, lights flashing, system messages flooded the screen, and Da Fei was grinning from ear to ear.
Da Fei suddenly realized that there really are so many ways to play the game, and each mode of play brings its own kind of fun. Although dodging Mao God’s blockade just now was thrilling and brought a sense of total satisfaction, sneaking up behind others to drink the leftover soup and snatch loot also has its unique flavor. Truly, there’s joy to be found in each method of play! Haha! Wahahaha!
Just as Little Fei collected a bounty, a thunderous boom came from the mountain base! Another situation?
After absorbing all the energy, Little Fei once again cloaked himself, leaped into the air, and sure enough, there was new activity at the mountain base where the Skyshattering Thunder rumbled into battle once more!
At this moment, countless white ghosts rose into the air over the wasteland, their sharp shrieks echoing across the plain.
Still leading the charge was the Magma Dragon, followed by a solid iron wall of a couple hundred Bear Knights on the charge, with the Fireball Technique of the Rune Mages detonating amidst the sea of white ghosts, instantly turning it into a sea of fire! Because Magic damage is shared amongst the entire team occupying the tactical positions, this resulted in the exaggerated light and shadow effects of the spell - in fact, with so many ghosts sharing the damage, the Fireball Technique was definitely not highly damaging.
Ghosts possess a 50% physical evasion special skill, so the charging formation of the Skyshattering Thunder was not very effective against the sea of ghosts, and there were ghosts everywhere, at the front and back of the battlefield.
For a time, the Skyshattering Thunder charged to and fro with his troops, and thanks to the Magma Dragon’s absolute dominant strength and the flexible coping of the NPC Prison Guards, the sea of ghosts gradually thinned.
It was at this moment that a huge mass of white fog appeared in the wilderness, the dead ghosts transforming into mist and gathering upon the massive white fog, a super-sized ghost emerged! Needless to say, a BOSS!
Let’s see how you handle this! Da Fei chuckled secretly, himself a curiosity; while he was here half a day without seeing a single creature beyond a sneaky ambush, the arrival of the Skyshattering Thunder brought waves of monsters. Was it because he was such a good soul, or was the Magma Dragon simply too flamboyant?
The giant ghost let out a roar that echoed across the wilderness, and a dark sonic wave swept across the field, instantly felling hundreds of charging dwarf Chargers and Giant Bear Knights.
Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat; that was the Banshee’s Howl, a Master-level Dark Magic spell capable of instantaneously killing an individual unit type with a certain chance! Just how savage was this BOSS!
Yet, in the presence of the absolutely mighty, immune to all spirit attacks top-tier species, not to mention the BOSS-level Magma Dragon, ghosts, ethereal and insubstantial, stood no chance! Although the ghosts’ evasion special skill delayed their demise, every hit from the Magma Dragon was more than they could bear. Finally, the ghost BOSS turned into a wisp of smoke and started to flee!
It must be said that not only were the bosses here divine, but they all knew how to escape. For such a powerful and sneaky boss to drop only an A-level treasure really seemed unworthy of its status.
Of course, the Skyshattering Thunder would not give it a chance, as the Magma Dragon repeated its old trick, transforming into a fire spewing engine, chasing after it!
—Bang! A loud noise—Dodge!!!
Damn it! Even Da Fei couldn’t help but curse at the ghost BOSS’s sneakiness! Right now, the ghost BOSS had condensed into a tiny wisp of smoke; the moment that the smoke completely dissipated would be the moment it successfully escaped!
But it wouldn’t be that easy!
With a cough and a roar, the Magma Dragon spat out a large mass of magma, covering it—Pfft! A scream rang out across the wilderness as the ghost BOSS failed to evade and collapsed into a pile of black dust.
Holy moly! Even Da Fei was startled; this damn Magma Dragon was invincible!
The battle took its toll on the Skyshattering Thunder as well; they urgently needed to regroup. Thus, various NPC factions began assisting by moving the fallen troops together, and the Rune Mages started to replenish their Mana for post-battle Resurrection. The other troops pulled back to camp and began to defend. In any case, the Skyshattering Thunder also needed a break.
As for Da Fei, seeing the Magma Dragon walk away, he couldn’t help but smirk: "It’s time for soup again!"
