《Necromancer: Rise of the Undead Lord》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Latest news, the anticipated holographic online game Infinite Worlds will officially open at 12: 00 today!¡± ¡°A real holographic online game, or a second world for humans!¡± ¡°This epoch-making game is about to unveil the mystery!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In front of the computer, Chu Qi looked at the various messages on the Internet with an indifferent expression. A month ago, an unknown game company announced a holographic online game, Infinite Worlds. Once the game was announced, it attracted the attention of players all over the world. In just a few days, the game world had undergone an earth-shattering change. All the major game guilds and professional players fought to join. After all, this was the first real holographic online game in the world. ¡°So far, the development trajectory of the world is exactly the same as in my previous life¡­¡± Chu Qi, who was browsing the information, smiled slightly.. That¡¯s right, Chu Qi was a reborn person. He used the forbidden item, Time Hourglass, to reverse time and return to the day of the game launch. In his previous life. After the game invaded the real world, Chu Qi happened to obtain this item. However, in a subsequent battle, human civilization was completely defeated. Chu Qi had no choice but to use the [Time Hourglass] to return to the day of the game launch. Unfortunately, Time Hourglass was a one-time use item. It vanished forever after being used. ¡°A year later, the game will invade the real world. If I can awaken an S-level talent like in my previous life, in addition to my future memories and combat skills¡­¡± ¡°Maybe this time, my strength can reach an unprecedented level.¡± Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Chu Qi¡¯s eyes. He looked up at the time on the computer. September 25, 2025, 11: 59 p.m. The game would be launched in one minute. Chu Qi lay in the gaming capsule and logged into the game. When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in an imposing temple. ¡°Welcome to ¡®Infinite Worlds¡¯. Please head to the hall to awaken your talent.¡± After hearing the system prompt, Chu Qi walked straight to the Awakening Array in the hall. ¡°Awakening talent 10%¡­ 50%¡­ 70 %¡­¡± Ding¡­ congratulations on obtaining forbidden talent [Soul Reaper (Unique)]. ¡® Chu Qi¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°There¡¯s actually a Forbidden-level talent?!¡± Chu Qi exclaimed after seeing the awakened talent. In Infinite Worlds, talents were divided into E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. He originally thought that an SSS-level talent was the strongest, but he never expected there to be a Forbidden-level talent. Wouldn¡¯t he just become strong right away? ¡°Fuu¡­¡± Chu Qi took a deep breath and calmed down. He then looked at the talent introduction. Soul Reaper (Unique) Level: Forbidden Effect: After killing monsters that are not lower than your level, you can harvest their souls. You will obtain 1 point for all attributes and a skill. The skill you obtain will be transformed into a passive skill that is compatible with your class. At the same time, your pets and summoned items can also be used. ¡°This talent¡­ is too strong!¡± ¡°As expected of a Forbidden Talent. You can actually obtain all stat bonuses and passive skills!¡± With his previous life¡¯s memory, Chu Qi knew very well that the strength of the Boss was not only its high health and attack power, but also its various powerful skills. If he could obtain the Boss¡¯ skill, wouldn¡¯t he become a humanoid Boss?! Thinking of this, Chu Qi was extremely excited. Ding¡­ Talent has been awakened. Player, please choose your class. ¡® Ding¡­ discovered that the player has awakened a special talent. The corresponding hidden class has been activated. ¡® As the system notification sounded, statues of various professions appeared around Chu Qi. The figure and appearance of the statue were identical to Chu Qi¡¯s. Especially after wearing all kinds of equipment, his already outstanding appearance appeared even more handsome and extraordinary. On the head of the humanoid statue were the names of the various occupations. They were the Warriors, Assassins, Mages, Archers, Summoners, Paladins, and Guardians. At this moment, Chu Qi did not pay attention to the other professions. Instead, he looked at the hidden occupation mentioned by the system. [Undead Lord] Introduction: A summoning-type mage that can control undead creatures. Not only does it have terrifying damage output, its survival ability is also very outstanding. It is unable to carry out subsequent Class Advancement, but it can increase its level. ¡°This¡­¡± Chu Qi also knew that there were hidden occupations in the game, but only those who entered the game would have the chance to change their occupation. Now that he could choose directly, he had undoubtedly won at the starting line. No! With his Forbidden Talent and his hidden job, he was almost at the end of the road. Thinking of this, Chu Qi did not hesitate and directly chose the [Undead Lord]. When summoned creatures could enjoy the effects of the talent, [Undead Lord] was very suitable for this talent. Just think about it, after Chu Qi plundered countless Bosses, not only would he be extremely powerful, his summoned creatures would also become Boss-level existences. At that time, Chu Qi could only use two words to describe it: Invincible! Ding¡­ job chosen. Please enter your ID. ¡® ¡°Falling Dust.¡± Chu Qi decisively used the name from his previous life. ¡°Character creation completed. Player interface has been created.¡± ID: Falling Dust Level: 1 Occupation: Undead Lord (First Stage) Health: 100 Magic Power: 160 Magic Attack: 32 Strength: 10, Intelligence: 16, Agility: 10, Constitution: 10 Defense: 20 Critical Hit Chance: 0 Talent: [Soul Reaper (Unique)] Technique: [Summoning Skeleton Warrior (Iron)] [Summoning Skeleton Warrior (Iron)] Skill Level: 1 Effect: Summon two skeleton warriors of the same level as the players to help in the battle. The various attributes of the skeleton warriors are affected by the intelligence of the players. There can be two at most. Mana Cost: 30, Cooldown: 60 seconds ¡­ The basic attributes of the Undead Lord were similar to that of ordinary jobs, but because it was hidden, its Intelligence stat was 6 points higher than other jobs. It had to be known that every level up in the ¡°Infinite Worlds¡± would reward one with 3 Free Attribute Points. 6 Intelligence Points represented two levels of attributes. With 1 Intelligence point equal to 2 Magic Attack points, Chu Qi had 12 more Attack points than the others at level 1. After entering the game, they would directly be far ahead of others. After checking his attributes, Chu Qi closed the interface and walked to the teleportation formation at the side. Ding¡­ Do you want to enter the game immediately? ¡® Seeing the notification in front of him, Chu Qi chose to confirm without hesitation. ¡°Ding¡­ according to the actual coordinates, you will be assigned to the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon¡¯s sphere of influence.¡± After the notification ended, Chu Qi entered the game wrapped in a white light. Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ding¡­ welcome to Infinite Worlds. ¡°System prompt: You have entered Maple Wood Beginner Village.¡± At this moment, white light constantly flickered around Chu Qi. Every time it flickered, a player would appear. The players looked around in surprise. ¡°Damn, this game is too realistic!¡± ¡°This flower, this grass, it¡¯s no different from reality!¡± ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve drawn a Grade B talent. It increases my attack power by 20%!¡± ¡°Someone, let¡¯s form a team to hunt monsters¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the players that kept appearing in the surroundings, Chu Qi ignored them and directly opened his backpack.. In the backpack, a white gift bag was lying quietly in the corner. This gift bag was one that everyone had. Chu Qi did not hesitate and directly chose to open it. ¡°System prompt message: You have obtained [Beginner¡¯s Wand (Iron) ]*1, [Coated Skin (Iron) ]*1, [Coated Pants (Iron) ]*1.¡± After the notification, three pieces of equipment appeared in Chu Qi¡¯s backpack. After putting on all the newbie equipment, Chu Qi didn¡¯t waste any time and directly went to the village head¡¯s house. At this moment, the other players were studying the game settings, and there were not many people in the village chief¡¯s house. Not long after, it was Chu Qi¡¯s turn. ¡°Welcome, adventurer. I¡¯m the village chief, Olin.¡± After seeing Chu Qi, the village chief greeted him formally. ¡°Hello, I want to accept a mission,¡± said Chu Qi. The Village Chief nodded and said, ¡°I happen to have a mission for you. The wild boars outside the village are everywhere and often attack the passing villagers¡­¡± ¡°The orc tribes in the east are much bigger threats than the wild boars.¡± Before the village head could finish speaking, Chu Qi interrupted him. Chu Qi had no interest in accepting such an ordinary newbie mission. According to the memory of his previous life, the orc tribe located at the east of the newbie village was the main storyline of the newbie village. Hearing Chu Qi¡¯s words, the village chief was obviously stunned. Then, he said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Recently, many orcs have appeared in the east. They are very powerful. The militia in the village is not their match at all.¡± Chu Qi said, ¡°Maybe I can help find out why they¡¯re here.¡± ¡°In that case, kill 20 orcs to prove your strength.¡± Ding¡­ congratulations on triggering the main mission of Maple Leaf Village [Prove Your Strength to the Village Chief]. ¡® Reward: 2,000 experience, 50 gold coins, the village chief¡¯s gift, 400 reputation points. After accepting the mission, Chu Qi was not in a hurry to go to the Orc Forest in the east. Instead, he went directly to the outside of the village. Because in the Orc Forest, the lowest-level orc warrior was at level 5. He needed to have the corresponding strength. He would first harvest a wave of attributes and skills from the monsters outside the village before going to complete the mission. At this moment, many players had already gathered on the plains outside the village. ¡°D*mn, this game is too difficult!¡± ¡°Someone form a team, Daddy!¡± ¡°Offer to form a team. I¡¯m an archer, my maneuvering is sharp and movements are impressive.¡± ¡°Buying various job equipment and skill books at a high price!¡± ¡°Is there a big brother here to take care of me?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Passing through the noisy crowd, Chu Qi found a place with fewer people and stopped. The monsters here were level one wild boars. Chu Qi directly threw out a scouting technique. [Boar (Iron)] Level: 1 Health Points: 150 Damage: 20 Technique: Charge The attributes of the monsters were similar to that of the players. Ordinary players could only fight them one by one, but Chu Qi did not need them. Based on his gaming experience in his previous life, these monsters could not touch him at all, not to mention that he had the enhancement of a Hidden Class. Chu Qi directly waved his wand, and a dark red array instantly appeared in front of him. In the formation, two skeleton warriors slowly appeared. As the skeleton warrior appeared, the summoning panel appeared in front of Chu Qi. [Skeleton Warrior (Iron)] Level: 1 Health: 200 Damage: 25 Technique: None Level 1 skeleton warriors were only slightly stronger than small monsters of the same level. However, it did not matter. He believed that with the enhancement of his talent, the skeleton warriors would quickly become stronger. Thinking of this, Chu Qi ordered the two skeleton warriors to rush towards the wild boar. Receiving Chu Qi¡¯s orders, the two skeleton warriors waved the bone sabers in their hands and directly rushed towards the wild boar. -24. -23. The attack power of the two skeleton warriors was only 25, which was considered very low. But under Chu Qi¡¯s command, the wild boar¡¯s attacks could not hit the two skeleton warriors at all. At this moment, Chu Qi was not idle. He controlled the skeleton warrior while waving his wand to launch long-distance attacks. Not long after, this wild boar fell to the ground under the siege of Chu Qi and the two skeleton warriors. Ding¡­ you have killed [Boar (Iron)]. You have received 10 experience points. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent triggered. You have received 1 all-attribute point and passive skill: [Charge (1 / 10)]. ¡® [Charge (1 / 10)] Skill Effect: While moving, the damage is increased by 1% every second, up to 100%, for 5 seconds. It could increase damage by at most 100% while moving, so the bonus was very terrifying. But to increase it by 1% every second, it would take 100 seconds to increase it to its maximum value. This was more uncomfortable. Then, Chu Qi looked at the number behind the technique. ¡°Does this mean that the skill can be stacked 10 times?¡± Thinking of this, Chu Qi decided to try killing some more wild boars. At this time, the surrounding wild boars saw their own kind being killed and all rushed towards Chu Qi. Seeing this, Chu Qi smiled lightly. This saved him the trouble of luring the monsters. Controlling the two skeleton warriors in front, Chu Qi stood behind and attacked. Although Chu Qi could multitask and control the skeleton warriors while he himself was attacking, he couldn¡¯t guarantee that the skeleton warriors could dodge every attack the boars were throwing out. Not long after, the two skeleton warriors died one after another. Seeing this, Chu Qi waved his staff again. In an instant, two more skeleton warriors were summoned and attacked again. Under the same method, the few boars were all killed in a short while. Ding¡­ congratulations on leveling up to level 2. You have received 3 free stat points. ¡® As the last wild boar fell, Chu Qi¡¯s level rose to level two. Chu Qi was not in a hurry to add attribute points. Instead, he looked at his skill column. [Charge (10 / 10)] Skill Effect: While moving, the damage is increased by 10% every second, up to 100%, for 5 seconds. As expected, the current [Charge] skill had already reached level 10. It could increase the damage by 10% every second, and it would reach its maximum value in 10 seconds. Then, Chu Qi added all the attribute points after leveling up to Intelligence. In the process of killing the wild boar, he obtained 12 full attributes. Now, his Intelligence attribute had reached 31. To have such an attribute at level two was simply terrifying. Correspondingly, his skeleton warrior had also reached level two, and his various attributes had increased by a large margin. After adding the attribute points, Chu Qi picked up the items that had fallen to the ground. Ding¡­ you have received 80 bronze coins, [leather belt]. ¡® [Leather Belt (Iron)] Level: 1 Health Points :+10 Defense: 2 ¡°I didn¡¯t expect there to be another piece of equipment.¡± In the early stages of the game, the drop-rate of equipment was very touching. If a piece of equipment dropped after killing more than ten level one monsters¡­ It could be said that his luck had exploded. After looking at the attributes of the equipment, Chu Qi directly equipped it. Now that he had reached level 2, there was no point in staying here any longer. Thinking of this, Chu Qi walked towards the Shadow Forest in the distance. Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Level 2 to 3 monsters lived in the Shadow Forest, and the main ones were Shadow Wolves. Not only was the Shadow Wolf fast, its damage was also very high. However, the experience points were still higher than other monsters of the same level. At this moment, there were almost no players in the Shadow Forest. Only a few more talented players were leveling at the edge of the forest. Chu Qi walked into the Shadow Forest. The originally clear sky seemed to be covered by a layer of black mist, blocking the entire forest¡¯s vision. Faintly, Chu Qi could see a few red eyes flashing in the black mist. At this moment, three Shadow Wolves appeared from the darkness. [Shadow Wolf] Level: 2 Health Points: 300 Attack Power: 35 Technique: Sharp Claw After seeing the Shadow Wolf¡¯s attributes, Chu Qi shook his head. If an ordinary player were to encounter such a horde of Shadow Wolves by themselves, they would probably die. However, after being enhanced by the skill, the attributes of the skeleton warriors were much higher than those of the Shadow Wolves. Now, Chu Qi¡¯s skeleton warrior¡¯s health points had already reached 400, and its attack had also reached 52. It would not be a problem for it to solo a Shadow Wolf. ¡°Wuu ~¡± After the Shadow Wolf saw Chu Qi, it roared, its red eyes filled with coldness. Chu Qi held his staff and directly attacked. Then, the two skeleton warriors rushed forward and joined the battle. 67 65 80 Chu Qi maintained his movement while attacking, so that his [Charge] technique could be stacked to its maximum value. A moment later, the three Shadow Wolves fell to the ground with a wail. Ding¡­ you have obtained 25 experience points after killing [Shadow Wolf]. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent activated. You have obtained 1 All-attribute point and the skill [Sharp Claw]. ¡® ¡­ [Sharp Claw (3 / 20)] Skill Effect: When attacking, 15% cause the enemy to enter a Bleeding State, causing (Intelligence ¡Á 1) damage every second for 10 seconds. If a damage-type passive skill could cause bleeding, with Chu Qi¡¯s current Intelligence stat, it would be very good if he could cause 34 damage per second. However, in Infinite Worlds, the negative statuses created by different units could be stacked. In other words, with the addition of the two skeleton warriors, Chu Qi could trigger three times the effect. Coupled with the enhancement of the [Charge] skill, this was extremely terrifying! And when the passive ability was stacked to the maximum, it would trigger the bleeding effect by 100%. Thinking of this, Chu Qi was extremely excited and continued to search for the next Shadow Wolf. ¡­ Ding¡­ congratulations on leveling up to level 3. You have received 3 Free Stat Points. ¡® [Sharp Claw (20 / 20)] Skill Effect: When attacking, provides a 100% chance of causing the enemy to enter a Bleeding State, causing (Intelligence ¡Á 1) damage every second for 10 seconds. Not long after, Chu Qi stacked his techniques to the maximum level and his level rose to level three. After adding attribute points, his Intelligence attribute reached 63, and his other attributes also reached 51. Under the enhancement of all his attributes, Chu Qi could be said to have no weaknesses. His damage, health, and speed were all much higher than ordinary players. After picking up the items that had fallen to the ground, Chu Qi looked at his gains from this period of time. There were a total of eight silver coins and two pieces of Dark Steel Warrior equipment. At this moment, there was no longer any reward for killing the Shadow Wolf. With his current strength, he was enough to go to the Orc Forest to complete the mission. After thinking for a while, Chu Qi prepared to leave the Shadow Forest. Right at this moment, a Shadow Wolf that was emitting a black aura appeared in front of him. This Shadow Wolf was much bigger than the previous one. As this Shadow Wolf appeared, Chu Qi looked at his interface panel. [Demonized Shadow Wolf (Elite)] Level: 3 Health: 700 Attack Power: 80 Technique: Sharp Claw The attributes of the Demonized Shadow Wolf were much higher than ordinary ones, almost the same as a level 3 skeleton warrior. Seeing the Demonized Shadow Wolf appear, without needing Chu Qi to give the order, the two skeleton warriors waved the bone knives in their hands and rushed forward. With a slash, a series of damage numbers floated up. 120 -95. (Bleeding) -132. ¡­ With the enhancement of the [Charge] skill, the skeleton warrior¡¯s every attack would cause more than a hundred points of damage. This was already about the same as Chu Qi¡¯s own attacks. After all, he was still wearing a newbie outfit. Chu Qi didn¡¯t need to do anything at all. A few seconds later, the Demonized Shadow Wolf turned into a stream of experience value. Ding¡­ You have obtained 60 experience points from killing [Demonized Shadow Wolf (Elite)]. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent activated. You have obtained 1 All Stats. ¡® Because the Demonized Shadow Wolf had the same skills as ordinary Shadow Wolves, he did not obtain any skills from this kill, but he could harvest attribute points. No one would complain about having too few attribute points, and Chu Qi was no exception. ¡°Then let¡¯s farm again. We¡¯ll leave after we reach Level 4.¡± After making up his mind, Chu Qi walked towards the center of the Shadow Forest. Most of the players had already reached level 2, and there were more people outside the Shadow Forest, but there was no one in the central area. There were many Demonized Shadow Wolves gathered here. No one came to kill the monsters, so it was enough for Chu Qi to reach level four. Together with the two skeletons, they began to farm monsters happily. ¡­ Ding¡­ Congratulations on leveling up to level 4. You have received 3 Free Stat Points. ¡® Not long after, a notification sounded. Chu Qi stopped killing monsters. After checking his gains, it could be said that he had gained a lot this time. Not only did he obtain 35 full attributes, but he also obtained 20 silver coins, 3 pieces of iron items and a bronze item. Among them, the bronze equipment was one that Chu Qi could use. [Wild Magic Robe (Bronze)] Level: 3 Health Points+50, Defense+10, Intelligence+7. Special Feature: Increases the attack speed of summoned creatures by 10%. The basic attributes of this equipment were normal, but its characteristic effect increased the attack speed of the summoned creature by 10%. Equipment that could increase the attributes of summoned creatures were very good for summoning jobs. In Infinite Worlds, the levels of equipment and items were: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, Brick, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical. The most important thing about a piece of equipment was the bonus effect of its characteristic attributes, and iron equipment did not have any characteristic attributes. Without hesitation, Chu Qi directly put on the equipment. At this moment. A black bolt of lightning struck from the black fog on his side. The game techniques he had honed in his previous life made Chu Qi¡¯s reaction extremely fast. He instinctively dodged to the side and barely dodged this attack. The skeleton warriors behind him were not spared. They were struck by the lightning and turned into a pile of bones. ¡°Roar!¡± Then, a very penetrative roar echoed throughout the entire forest. In the black mist, a huge figure as tall as a person slowly appeared. [Demonized Shadow Wolf King (Iron-Level Overlord)] Level: 5 Health Points: 30,000 Attack Power: 400 Skills: Sharp Claw, Dark Lightning, Dark Affinity [Dark Lightning]: Unleashes a powerful bolt of lightning that deals magical damage to the target. Cooldown: 30 seconds. [Sharp Claw]: When attacking in close combat, it will cause the enemy to enter a bleeding state for 10 seconds, causing 1% of the maximum health points physical damage every second. [Dark Night Affinity]: At night, all attributes will be increased by 20%. Introduction: A powerful Shadow Wolf King was corroded by the black mist and became a Demonized Shadow Wolf King. As the Demonized Shadow Wolf King appeared, a system notification sounded. Ding¡­ Maple Wood Village Announcement: An Iron Level Overlord has appeared in the Shadow Forest. Players, please proceed to suppress him. ¡­ After three system announcements, all the players in Maple Wood Village went crazy. Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°F*ck, we have a Boss!¡± ¡°Are there any teams fighting the Boss? Please help!¡± ¡°Most of the players are not even level three yet. Are they courting death?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think you understand. It¡¯s just an Iron Boss. If it dares to show up with its HP bar, I¡¯ll kill it for you to see!¡± ¡°¡­¡± For a moment, the solo players formed small teams. As for the large guilds in Maple Wood Village, they were also stirring. After the vice president of the Blood Moon Guild, Lost, saw the system announcement, he said to a player beside him, ¡°Inform the elite teams to gather at the Shadow Forest. We must obtain the first clear before the Kyushu Guild does. This is very important for the development of our guild!¡± On the other side, the Kyushu Guild had also gathered a large number of elite pioneer players and were advancing towards the Shadow Forest.. ¡­ Seeing the Demonized Shadow Wolf King appear, Chu Qi swept his eyes over its attribute panel. It had 400 Attack Points. Although a single attack could not kill him or the skeleton warrior, he would definitely die if he was hit by the Dark Lightning move. However, Chu Qi didn¡¯t panic at all. Because of his Forbidden Talent, his attributes were very high. With their current stats, it was not a problem for them to fight this Boss alone. If it was any other solo player, no matter how skilled they were, they would only be able to cause minimal trouble for the Boss. At this moment, Chu Qi raised his staff and summoned two new skeleton warriors. Then, he made them stand on his right. In an instant, Chu Qi thought of a strategy to deal with it. He would attract the aggro and let the two skeleton warriors attack the Boss. After all, with the current attributes of the skeleton warriors, they could not withstand the Boss¡¯ attacks. In the game, players¡¯ aggro points were much higher than summoned creatures, so it was very easy to attract aggro. After adjusting his position, Chu Qi directly attacked the Boss, pulling its aggro. 220 -70. (Bleeding) After the Shadow Wolf King was attacked, it rushed over and clawed at Chu Qi. Because he had the talent to increase all his attributes, his Agility stat was also very high. Chu Qi nimbly dodged backwards and instantly dodged this attack. The Shadow Wolf King¡¯s speed was extremely fast. Without enough attribute support, he would not have been able to dodge no matter how good his movement technique was. While dodging, Chu Qi also ordered the two skeleton warriors to attack from behind the Shadow Wolf King. 270 -150 (Bleeding) 288 With the help of the [Charge] technique, the damage caused by the two level four skeleton warriors had completely surpassed that of Chu Qi. Of course, this was also because Chu Qi didn¡¯t have good equipment or offensive skills now. Summoners couldn¡¯t wear equipment, so the basic bonuses they got were higher than players. After dodging the attack, Chu Qi was not in a hurry to continue attacking. Instead, he focused on dodging the Boss¡¯s next black bolt of lightning. Lightning was extremely fast. If one did not notice the Boss¡¯ attack in advance, it would be very difficult to dodge. At this moment, the Shadow Wolf King opened its mouth and a black bolt of lightning shot towards Chu Qi. However, the moment it opened its mouth, Chu Qi had already arrived behind a tree. This bolt of lightning struck the tree. After dodging this attack, within 30 seconds, the Shadow Wolf King would no longer be a threat to Chu Qi. He could attack with all his strength. After a while, the Shadow Wolf King fell to the ground unwillingly. Ding¡­ World Announcement: Congratulations to Maple Wood Beginner Village¡¯s player [Falling Dust] for completing the first clear of the Iron Level Lord. The system reward is [Bronze Skill Treasure Chest] x1, free stat points x3. ¡® ¡­ The first world announcement after the game started sounded, and all the players around the world exploded. ¡°Oh my god, did I see wrongly? Someone killed the Iron Boss alone?!¡± ¡°This Falling Dust¡­ is probably an [S] class talent.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you¡¯re being too petty. I¡¯m an S class talent and I¡¯m currently killing small monsters. Big Boss Falling Dust¡¯s top SSS talent is unquestionable!¡± ¡°What? The first kill in the entire server didn¡¯t come from our Lighthouse Nation?!¡± ¡°Falling Dust is definitely a member of our Dark Frost Nation, so the first kill will be ours!¡± ¡°It¡¯s so freaking disgusting to steal from other nations. Block him ~¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, the players who had arrived late saw that the Boss had been killed and chose to level up outside the Shadow Forest. After all, it was not easy to gather so many people in the name of the Boss. It was just right for them to kill monsters together. As for the vice president of the Blood Moon Guild, Lost¡­ He directly led his people into the depths of the Shadow Forest after seeing the system announcement. This was because the player indicated on the announcement was from Maple Wood Village. He wanted to see who this player who could kill a Boss by himself was. ¡­ Ding¡­ congratulations on killing [Demonized Shadow Wolf King (Iron Overlord)]. You have received 5000 experience points. ¡® Ding¡­ congratulations on leveling up to level 5. You have received 3 free stat points. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent triggered. You have received 1 all-attribute point and passive skill: [Charge (1 / 10)]. ¡® [Black Lightning] Skill Effect: When attacking, it will cause an additional 50% dark-attribute lightning damage. ¡°What a powerful skill!¡± Seeing the new skill effect, Chu Qi couldn¡¯t help but shout in surprise. 50% of the thunder damage was increased by half with just one skill. Although the damage from [Charge] was high, it required constant movement, and it only lasted for 5 seconds. However, [Black Lightning] had no prerequisites. It was crazy. After checking the skill effects, Chu Qi added all his attribute points and walked towards the Boss¡¯ corpse. Ding¡­ you have received 50 gold coins, [Spirit Medium Wand (Silver)] x1, [Mystic Technique Boots (Bronze)] x1¡­ ¡® After picking up the items, Chu Qi checked. There was a total of one silver, two bronze and five iron items, and two bronze skill books. Two of them were items that Chu Qi could equip. Spirit Medium Wand (Silver) Level: 5 Magic Attack: 150 Intelligence :+20 Special Feature: Intelligence+20 Special Feature: Summoner Damage+100 The silver staff had two special attributes. It simply matched perfectly with Chu Qi. Not only did it have an extremely high Intelligence bonus, just the Summoner¡¯s damage+100 was already considered a top-notch weapon. After changing out of the new weapon, Chu Qi directly equipped the silver staff. Then, he continued to look back. [Mystic Technique Boots (Bronze)] Level: 5 Health Points :+80 Intelligence :+10 Special Feature: Increases movement speed by 5%. Although the mystic technique boots did not add any summoning attributes, it was still considered a good piece of equipment in the early stages. After equipping it, Chu Qi was about to check the first clear¡¯s skill treasure chest when a voice sounded behind him. Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After sensing the sound, Chu Qi turned his head to look. He saw five players walking towards him. A few of them had decent talent, and the leading warrior had an [S] class talent. Just now, while Chu Qi was killing the Boss, they had simply hidden themselves and watched. After seeing that Chu Qi could fight the Boss alone, he was even more shocked. However, they wanted to gamble that Chu Qi had just killed the Boss and was definitely not in a good state. Moreover, there were five of them. If they could kill Chu Qi and obtain the items dropped by the Boss, they would directly make a killing. In ¡°Infinite Worlds¡±, under normal circumstances, killing people would not cause equipment to drop.. However, items that were picked up for the first time were not protected for 30 minutes. If you die during this period, all items that are not protected will drop. The leading warrior player came in front of Chu Qi and said, ¡°You were the one who killed the iron Boss just now, right? What equipment did you get? Let us see!¡± Upon hearing his words, it was obvious that he was here to snatch the equipment. Chu Qi smiled lightly. ¡°That¡¯s right. I killed the Boss. If you want the equipment, it¡¯ll depend on whether you have the strength!¡± At the same time. The people from the Blood Moon Guild also came nearby and happened to see this scene. A Mage player standing beside Lost said, ¡°President, should we go over?¡± Lost shook his head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a while. Since this Falling Dust can kill the Boss by himself, he must not be weak. If he can¡¯t deal with it, we¡¯ll attack then. After all, it¡¯s better to help when help is actually needed.¡± ¡­ When the five of them heard Chu Qi¡¯s words, they didn¡¯t say anything more and directly attacked him. Chu Qi waved his hand, and the two skeleton warriors went up to him. ¡°If you want the equipment, sure. Defeat my skeleton warriors first!¡± One of the skeleton warriors slashed at the leading player. Black lightning appeared on the originally pale bone blade. -865! With a slash, the Warrior player at the front was instantly killed! Now that Chu Qi had new equipment and skills, his attributes had soared. The damage of the skeleton warriors also increased terrifyingly. Insta-killing a level 3 player was as easy as blowing off dust. ¡°What?! Captain was insta-killed?!¡± The remaining people were all stunned when they saw this scene. They knew that Chu Qi was strong, but they didn¡¯t expect him to be so abnormal. However, while they were in a daze, the two skeleton warriors showed no mercy and rushed forward, sending each of them back to the resurrection point. Then, Chu Qi walked forward and saw that there was a piece of bronze equipment on the ground. He directly went over and picked it up. Now that the game had just started, a piece of bronze equipment could be sold for at least 20 gold coins. Indeed, killing people was much more beneficial than fighting monsters. No wonder there were so many players who were passionate about this player killing life in the game. ¡°As expected of someone who got the world¡¯s first clear. Brother Falling Dust¡¯s strength has really broadened my horizons!¡± At that moment, Lost, who was watching by the side, walked over. Chu Qi turned his head and realized that it was the vice president of the Blood Moon Guild, Lost. Chu Qi knew about Lost of Blood Moon Guild in his previous life, but they had not interacted much. She only knew that his job was an assassin and that he had an SS-level talent. He was very strong. The Blood Moon Guild was ranked third among the Three Great Guilds in the Dragon Nation¡¯s gaming world. Their figures could be seen in all the major games. The first and second place were the Kyushu Guild and the Prosperity Guild. A year later, the game invaded reality, and these three guilds became pillars of support against the invasion of the Abyssal Monsters. Looking at the lost people in front of him, Chu Qi said, ¡°Are you looking for something?¡± Lost smiled and said, ¡°Brother, if there¡¯s any equipment from the Boss that you don¡¯t need, can you sell it to us?¡± The people from large guilds were different from small teams. They wouldn¡¯t snatch things from others for the sake of the small benefit in front of them. Otherwise, their reputation would have long been tarnished. As the vice president, Lost knew this very well. He could not do anything that was not right. ¡°Sure.¡± Chu Qi nodded. He had originally planned to sell these useless equipment, and the bids of large guilds were often higher than those of merchants. Chu Qi took out the equipment in his bag. There were two pieces of bronze, eight iron level and two bronze level skill books. Lost looked at one of the bronze equipment and said, ¡°As expected of bronze equipment. Its attributes are much better than Iron. I want all this equipment!¡± ¡°Wait a minute, the highest bidder wins. Our Kyushu Guild Wasteland Reclaimers team also needs this equipment!¡± At this moment, the person in charge of the Kyushu Guild, [Wind Whisper], who had arrived at some point in time, spoke. Lost frowned when he saw Wind Whisper approaching. Originally, he didn¡¯t have any competitors, so he probably didn¡¯t need to spend too much money. Now that Wind Whisper was here, it probably wouldn¡¯t be so easy. ¡°Brother Lost, I only want two skill books and bronze equipment. How about you take the rest?¡± Hearing Wind Whisper¡¯s words, Lost shook his head and said, ¡°Just like you said before, the highest bidder wins!¡± After the two of them had a bidding war, Lost sold a piece of bronze equipment, three pieces of Iron, and a skill book. The rest were all given to Wind Whisper¡¯s guild. On the other hand, Chu Qi made a killing. He had sold these equipment for 270 gold coins. If these gold coins were exchanged for real money, there would be more than 200,000 yuan in the current server. However, Chu Qi would not do that because when the game fused with reality one year later, gold coins would be the mainstream currency. Moreover, future hidden missions and NPC hidden shops would also require a large amount of gold coins. After the deal ended, the two of them added each other as friends, making it convenient for them to work together in the future. After the two of them left, Chu Qi took out the [Bronze Grade Skill Treasure Chest] reward for the first kill. Chu Qi had a hidden class. The actual mainstream way to obtain skills was very difficult. Only this kind of Skill Treasure Chest rewarded by the system would give out the Skill Book for the job. As the skill chest opened, a notification sound was heard. Ding¡­ congratulations on obtaining [Dark Mark (Bronze)] skill book. ¡® Chu Qi looked at the skill introduction. [Dark Mark (Bronze)] Skill Effect: Launches a Dark Magic Ball at the enemy that deals 200% magic damage and marks the enemy for 10 seconds. During this period, the damage dealt when summoned will be increased by 10%. Mana Cost: 40 Cooldown: 5 seconds The most important thing about an attack skill was that it could increase the damage of the summoned creature by 10%. This was already very good. After seeing the skill introduction, Chu Qi nodded in satisfaction and started learning. After learning the technique, Chu Qi opened his character panel. ID: Falling Dust Level: 5 Occupation: Undead Lord (First Stage) Health Points: 1040 Magic Power: 1,600 Magic Attack: 470 Strength: 90, Intelligence: 160, Agility: 90, Constitution: 90 Defense: 225 With such an attribute at level 5, it was no longer a problem for him to complete the Orc Forest mission. At this thought. Chu Qi passed through the Shadow Forest and walked straight towards the orc tribe in the east. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The orc tribe was located on the plains east of Maple Wood Village. About 20 minutes later, Chu Qi arrived at the outskirts of the orc tribe. In front of him was a group of orcs patrolling. When they saw Chu Qi appear, they walked over aggressively. [Orc Warrior] Level: 5 Health: 1000 Damage: 120 Technique: Sturdy The orc warrior¡¯s attributes could be instantly killed by Chu Qi. After they entered the attack range, Chu Qi directly threw a dark mark. -1,600! The skill hit, and the orc warrior was instantly killed before he could even scream. Ding¡­ You have killed [Orc Warrior] and gained 80 experience points. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent activated. You have received 1 All Stats point and the passive skill Sturdy. ¡® [Sturdy (1 / 20)] Skill Effect: Increases 50 maximum health points and 10 defense points. It was a very strong defensive passive skill. If it was stacked to the maximum level, it would have 1000 health points and 200 Defense points. With this skill, most of the current monsters could not cause any damage to themselves or the skeleton warriors. Thinking of this, Chu Qi continued to wave his wand and attack the orc warriors not far away. The two skeleton warriors were like wolves entering a flock of sheep, directly charging into the group of monsters and slaughtering them crazily. Because orc warriors were close-combat monsters, their speed was not very fast, so it was very easy for Chu Qi to kill them. Not long after, Chu Qi stacked his skills to the maximum level, and the mission requirements given by the village chief had already been met. ¡°Almost time to go back.¡± After picking up the items that had fallen to the ground, Chu Qi planned to go back and hand in the mission. At this moment, he looked into the distance and saw a huge orc walk out of the camp. Its face was sinister, and its huge fangs extended past its lower lip. Not only was his entire body enveloped by pitch-black armor, but he was also holding an exaggerated spiked club in both hands. Seeing that huge figure, Chu Qi frowned. He remembered this orc very clearly. This was the first Boss [Orc Commander] in the novice village dungeon. However, in the instance dungeon, it appeared in the form of an undead. And now, it was obvious that the orc commander standing near the camp was not dead. Could the next mission be to kill this Boss? However, the guide he had read in his previous life did not mention this. Perhaps Chu Qi didn¡¯t care so much anymore. How could he let a Boss go if he encountered one? Since it wasn¡¯t dead yet, he didn¡¯t mind helping it die. Thinking of this, Chu Qi walked towards the camp in the distance. Before they reached the camp, a few orcs found Chu Qi. [Orc Guard (Elite)] Level: 6 Health: 2000 Damage: 180 Technique: Sturdy The orc guards were Elite monsters, and their health points were twice the amount of the orc warriors. When the orc guards discovered Chu Qi, they also entered the skeleton warrior¡¯s alert range. The two skeletons swarmed up and attacked the orc guard. -825 -270 (Bleeding) ¡­ Ding¡­ you have killed [Orc Guard (Elite)] and received 150 experience points. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent activated. You have obtained 1 All Stats. ¡® If two skeleton warriors attacked an orc at the same time, they could definitely kill him instantly. After killing this orc, the other orc guards arrived in front of the skeleton warrior. Although the attack of the orc guard was very high, with the addition of the new [Sturdy] skill, the health and defense of the skeleton warriors had also increased greatly. On the other hand, the orc guards¡¯ attacks could only cause minor single-digit damage to the skeleton warriors. Under this overwhelming advantage, without even needing Chu Qi to personally take action, the two skeleton warriors directly killed these orcs. At this moment, the orc commander not far away had also discovered the battle. It roared angrily and attacked Chu Qi like a truck. When the orc commander arrived in front of Chu Qi, its message appeared in front of him. [Orc Commander (Iron Level Lord)] Level: 7 Health: 60,000 Attack Power: 800 Skills: Sturdy, Stomp, shockwave Introduction: The commander of the orcs tribes traveled thousands of kilometers from the orcs forest to revive the glory of the orcs race¡­ Strong: Increases maximum health and defense by 30%. Stomp: Jump high and stomp hard on the ground. Enemies within range cause tremendous physical damage and are stunned for 5 seconds. shockwave: Stab the weapon to the ground and cause a shockwave to spread out to a range of 20 meters. ¡°It¡¯s only two levels higher than the Shadow Wolf, but its HP is two times higher!¡± After seeing the orc commander¡¯s attributes, Chu Qi muttered. ¡°Human! This is not a place you should be!¡± As he spoke, the orc commander raised his huge spiked club and smashed it towards Chu Qi. Although the orc commander had high attack and high HP, its speed was not fast. Chu Qi ran to the side and dodged this attack. Then, he ordered the two skeleton warriors to attack. The current skeleton warrior already had more than 2,000 health points, and with the increase in Defense from the [Strength] skill, it could completely resist the Boss¡¯ normal attacks. As long as they did not eat the Boss¡¯ skills, it would not be a problem. The skeleton warrior could withstand the damage, so it was much more convenient for Chu Qi to attack. He didn¡¯t even need to continue dodging. After the two skeleton warriors attracted the aggro, Chu Qi directly threw a black mark. -1,300. -240 (Bleeding) After the orc commander was marked, the damage of the skeleton warriors increased by 10%. 756 735 -840. (Third Floor Bleeding) ¡­ As Chu Qi and the two skeleton warriors continued to attack, the orc commander¡¯s health points were slowly decreasing. 54,000¡­ 42,000¡­ When its HP fell to 40,000, the Boss began to use its skills. Stomp! ¡°Roar!¡± After a roar, the orc commander jumped high and stepped on the two skeleton warriors. Seeing this, Chu Qi hurriedly controlled the two skeleton warriors to retreat. Boom! The orc commander¡¯s huge feet stepped hard on the ground. Even Chu Qi, who was standing far away, felt the ground shake. Would he be instantly killed if he stepped on him? With Chu Qi¡¯s current attributes, he wasn¡¯t sure. Even if he wasn¡¯t killed instantly, the remaining five seconds of dizziness were still very disgusting. After dodging the Boss¡¯s attack, it was Chu Qi¡¯s turn. Under the siege of him and the two skeleton warriors, not long after, the orc commander¡¯s HP decreased to 10,000. At this moment, it forcefully swept the huge spiked club towards the ground, and a ring-shaped shockwave spread out. Because Chu Qi was rather far from the orc commander, he had enough time to react and easily dodged outside the attack range. However, the two skeleton warriors could not outrun the spreading speed of the shockwave and were instantly killed by this move! Then, Chu Qi used his technique and summoned two more skeleton warriors to join the battle. ¡­ Boom! A moment later, the HP of the orc commander, who did not have much left, fell to the ground, causing a cloud of dust. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ding¡­ you have killed [Orc Commander (Iron)]. You have received 8000 experience points. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent activated. You have received 1 all-attribute point and the passive skill [Shockwave]. ¡® [Shockwave] Skill Effect: When attacking, it will cause a shockwave that deals 100% damage to enemies within 1 meter of the target. ¡°Split Attack! With this skill, all my attacks will become AOE damage!¡± After seeing the skill effect of [Shockwave], Chu Qi was very satisfied. Because the skeleton warrior did not have any active skills, it could not attack multiple enemies at once. However, with this skill, the attacks of the undead summoned in the future would all become group attacks. It was simply a necessary skill for farming monsters.. After checking the technique, Chu Qi picked up the items that had fallen to the ground. This time, there was no world announcement, nor was there any First Kill reward. This time, there was no world announcement, nor was there any First Kill reward. Chu Qi had already killed an Iron Boss. No matter how many levels he killed, there would be no more rewards for the same Iron Boss. This was also why the players wanted to get the first kill. The higher the level of the Boss, the greater the reward for the first kill. Ding¡­ you have received 100 gold coins, [Magic Ring (Silver)] x1, [Mystic Technique Gown (Bronze)] x1, [Summoning Skeleton Archer] x1¡­ ¡® Chu Qi looked at the items he picked up. Two of them were items he could equip. Apart from that, the most important thing was the Skill Book ¡°Summoning Skeleton Archer¡±. The drop rate of a hidden class skill book was very low. This time, it could directly drop a skill that Chu Qi could use. It could be said that his luck had exploded. Chu Qi took out the skill book and chose to learn it without hesitation. Then, the skill book turned into a white light and entered his body. Chu Qi quickly opened the skill interface to check. [Summoning Skeleton Archer (Bronze)] Skill Effect: Summon a skeleton archer of the same level as the player to help in the battle. The various attributes of the skeleton archer are affected by the player¡¯s intelligence. There can only be one at most. Magic Power Consumption: 100 Cooldown: 60 seconds After checking the technique¡¯s effects, Chu Qi directly used the technique. In the summoning formation, a skeleton archer wearing leather armor and holding a huge bone bow appeared in front of Chu Qi. [Summoning Skeleton Archer (Bronze)] Level: 5 Health: 3000 Damage: 500 Technique: Triple Fire [Triple Fire] Skill Effect: Fire three arrows at once, each causing 150% physical damage. Cooldown: 10 seconds. The basic attributes of the Skeleton Shooter were not only much higher than that of the skeleton warrior, but it also had its own skill. ¡°As expected of a Bronze Stage skill, it¡¯s indeed powerful.¡± Seeing the skeleton archer he summoned, Chu Qi couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes. With the presence of the skeleton archer, his overall damage could be said to have doubled. Although the attack power of the skeleton archer was only a little more than 100 points higher than that of the skeleton warrior, it was still a given that the Archer was naturally faster than the Warrior in terms of attack speed. Moreover, they had the enhancement of the skill. Nodding his head in satisfaction, Chu Qi continued to look at the two pieces of equipment behind. [Secret Technique Short Pants (Bronze)] Level: 5 Health Points :+100 Intelligence :+15 Defense :+20 Special Feature: Cast Speed+10% Just like the mystic technique boots that he had dropped previously, the mystic technique shorts were pretty good equipment in the early stages. Chu Qi directly replaced the newbie equipment and checked its attributes. He found that although the name was the same, there was no set attribute. Then he continued to look at the equipment behind him. [Magic Ring (Silver)] Level: 6 All Stats :+15 Special Feature: All Resistance+10% Special Feature: Skill Cooldown: -10% ¡°It¡¯s actually a cooldown reduction ring!¡± It had to be known that the attributes of equipment that could reduce the cooldown time in the game were extremely rare. It was not easy to gather a full set of cooling equipment. The price of such equipment was also ridiculously high. Furthermore, equipment with such attributes would not be eliminated even in the later stages of the game. Not only that, increasing the attributes of all resistance would reduce the magic damage of all attributes by 10%. The attributes of this ring were considered top-notch in the early stages. The only pity was that Chu Qi was only level five and couldn¡¯t equip it yet. Chu Qi put the ring back into his bag. It wouldn¡¯t be too late to wait until he was level six before wearing it. Closing his backpack, Chu Qi looked at the orc camp. At this moment, there were many higher-level orcs in the camp, but he did not plan to continue killing monsters. He would wait until he handed in the mission. After making up his mind, Chu Qi directly walked towards the newbie village. Half an hour later, he returned to the newbie village and directly handed in the mission to the village chief. When the village leader saw Chu Qi return, he walked forward and said, ¡°Not bad. I didn¡¯t expect you to complete the mission so quickly. This has already proved that you have the ability to help the village solve the problem.¡± Ding¡­ Mission [Prove Your Strength to the Village Chief] completed. ¡® Ding¡­ You have received 2000 experience points, 50 gold coins, and the village chief¡¯s gift ¡Á 1. Reputation 400. ¡® After the notification, Chu Qi obtained 2,000 experience points. He was only one step away from reaching level 6. The use of Reputation Points could make it easier for players to accept hidden missions or obtain more authority and rewards. Then, the village head took out an item and gave it to Chu Qi. [Silver Medal (Silver)] Special Feature: Critical Hit Chance+10% Special Feature: All Speed+20% The reward given by the village chief was a medal. This kind of equipment would not take up the equipment slot, nor could it be dropped by farming monsters. Only after completing certain missions would one have a chance to obtain them. They were very rare. After Chu Qi took the medal, he directly equipped it. Then, the village chief continued, ¡°Since you¡¯ve proved your strength, I¡¯ll tell you what I know.¡± ¡°According to what I know, the reason why the orcs came from afar is because there¡¯s a Legendary necromancer buried in the plains in the east. The orcs are looking for that evil spell, [Revival of the Dead], so that they can use it to resurrect the king of the orcs, [King of the Orcs] Cullen].¡± ¡°By now they should have found the location of the tomb. The Shadow Forest has already been eroded. If we don¡¯t stop them in time, the entire village will be in danger.¡± ¡°Therefore, I want to ask you to help us enter the Orc camp and search for the entrance to the tomb. As long as you can complete the mission, I can give you Gold equipment as a reward.¡± After saying that, the village head looked at Chu Qi and waited for his reply. Ding¡­ Hidden mission [Search for the Tomb Entrance] activated. Do you accept? ¡® Chu Qi did not hesitate and directly answered, ¡°I accept.¡± Hearing Chu Qi¡¯s affirmative answer, the village head nodded in satisfaction. Ding¡­ Village Chief¡¯s favorability of you has increased to: 70. ¡® In ¡°Infinite Worlds¡±, it was very important to increase the favorability of the NPCs to you. Once the favorability reached 90%, the NPC¡¯s hidden store could be activated. Every NPC had unique equipment or items. Apart from that, it was also easier to accept hidden missions. Based on what Chu Qi knew, the village chief had a lot of good things on him. Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ding¡­ Mission [Search for the Tomb Entrance] has been accepted. ¡® Reward: Gold equipment ¡Á 1, 4000 experience points, 80 gold coins, 600 reputation points A mission that could reward gold equipment must be very difficult. Chu Qi knew this very well. In his previous life, although Chu Qi had never done this mission, he knew the location of the tomb because it was at the entrance to the novice village dungeon. In his previous life, this hidden mission was completed by the Kyushu Guild. According to what they later said, there were countless Orc Knights guarding the vicinity of the tomb. There were thousands of orcs in the Orc tribe, and there was an endless stream of reinforcements. Later on, they sent out a player with an S-grade Invisibility Talent to complete this mission. Thinking of this, Chu Qi was not in a hurry to go to the orc tribe.. Instead, he went straight to the pharmacist trader. He planned to buy a few bottles of Invisibility Potions so that he wouldn¡¯t be completely in danger. Although he was very strong, he still had no chance of winning against thousands of orcs. At this time, Chu Qi came to the medicinal store in the newbie village. As soon as he entered, the store owner greeted him warmly, ¡°Welcome! I have all the potions you want to buy.¡± Chu Qi said directly, ¡°I want to buy an Invisibility Potion.¡± Hearing Chu Qi¡¯s words, the store owner said, ¡°I don¡¯t have many Invisibility Potions here. How many do you want?¡± Chu Qi said, ¡°Three bottles are enough.¡± Invisibility Potions were high-level potions that only Gold Stage alchemists could make. They were very precious. Therefore, the store owner didn¡¯t have many bottles here. After buying three bottles of Invisibility Potion, he spent a total of 15 gold coins. Chu Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a little pained. After walking out of the store, Chu Qi took out the Invisibility Potion. [Invisibility Potion (Gold)] Type: Consumption Effect: After using it, you can enter stealth mode for 30 seconds. After attacking or using a skill, the invisibility effect will disappear. Cooldown: 5 minutes Although the duration of the Invisibility Potion was not long, it could still save lives at critical moments. After putting the medicine back into his bag, Chu Qi directly walked towards the orc tribe. ¡­ At the same time. The person in charge of the Kyushu Guild, Wind Whisper, was currently leveling with an elite team. As the number one guild in the Dragon Nation¡¯s gaming world, the elite teams of the Kyushu Guild were basically all professional players. The leveling speed was also much faster than normal players. At this moment, they had all reached level 5. Just now, Wind Whisper had received a message from a guild member. Someone in the guild had accepted a hidden mission related to the novice village dungeon. The mission was to head to the east of the novice village and defeat the orc tribe that was occupying this place. The players who accepted the mission thought that it was just an ordinary hidden mission. Who knew that after heading to the Orc tribe, they would discover thousands of Orcs? This was a mission that not many people could complete. Then, he directly notified their in-charge, Wind Whisper. After reading the mission content, Wind Whisper was stunned. Defeating thousands of orcs was not a small task. Having played countless online games, he naturally knew that the higher the difficulty of the mission, the better the reward. Moreover, this mission was related to the dungeon in the newbie village. If he could complete this mission, not only would the reputation and strength of the guild increase, but his position in the guild would also increase. The Kyushu Guild had a total of more than three thousand players in Maple Wood Village. Although they were not as many as the Orcs, their average strength was not as strong as the Orcs. However, the group of players was not something the monsters could compare with. After a player died, they could be revived. If they were revived with the enhancement of the support classes, they could still fight. At this thought, Wind Whisper informed all the players in the guild, regardless of their levels, to head to the Orc tribe in the east. ¡­ About half an hour later, Chu Qi arrived at the orc tribe again. This time, he did not directly enter the orc base camp but headed straight to the south of the orc camp. According to the mission hint, three pieces of the map were needed to find the location of the tomb. These three pieces of the map were in the hands of the three Orc knights. Although Chu Qi knew the location of the entrance to the tomb, he wouldn¡¯t be able to complete the mission if he went directly. He had to gather the complete map. This map was both a tool for completing the mission and a proof to open the dungeon. At this moment, Chu Qi had already arrived at the mission location in the south. This was originally a small orc camp, but now, it appeared sinister. Around the camp, the corpses of various animals were piled up messily. The ground was stained with blood, as if a fierce battle had just happened. Chu Qi walked into the camp and did not notice the orcs in the camp. Just as he was puzzled, a horrifying roar came from a nearby tent. Chu Qi looked in the direction of the voice and saw an orc warrior walk out of the tent. This orc warrior was different from before. His beast skin clothes were covered in blood, and his pale eyes looked incomparably terrifying. ¡°Orc undead!¡± Seeing the monster in front of him, Chu Qi exclaimed. According to what Chu Qi knew, undead monsters generally only appeared near the Undead Heights after level 10. Now, they had actually appeared in the newbie village. No! According to his previous life¡¯s memory, after the Orc High Priest obtained the Revival of the Dead, it only revived the King of Beasts and the leader of the rcs. Only these two were undead monsters in the Novice Village dungeon. Could it be that the plot had changed because he had killed the orc commander? Chu Qi thought for a while. This was the only possibility. Thinking of this, Chu Qi looked at the undead orc in front of him. [Undead Orc Warrior] Level: 5 Health: 1000 Damage: 120 Technique: Sturdy, Undead Body The attributes of the orc warrior that had become an undead were no different from before. It was just that he had an additional skill. This skill was also possessed by every undead monster. It could be immune to negative effects like fear and dizziness. However, the skeleton warriors and Skeletal Shooters that Chu Qi summoned didn¡¯t have this technique. This was very strange. ¡°Roar!¡± The undead orc let out a roar and directly pounced towards Chu Qi. However, just as the undead orc let out a roar, his head was penetrated by an arrow. -1,050! Ding¡­ you have killed [Undead Orc Warrior], gained 80 experience points. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent activated. You have obtained 1 All-attribute point and the passive skill [Undead Body]. ¡® [Undead Body (1 / 1)] Skill Effect: Immune to negative mental states such as fear, dizziness, and poison. ¡°I got it!¡± Seeing the new [Undead Body] technique, Chu Qi was very happy. With this skill, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about the crowd control abilities anymore. Then, Chu Qi continued to go deeper into the center of the camp. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When they arrived at the center of the camp, the number of undead orcs here began to increase. Not only were there undead orc warriors, but there were also many undead orc guards. Chu Qi directly ordered the three skeletons to attack. Swoosh! The attack of the skeleton archer was very high. One arrow could kill an orc warrior in an instant, and the orc guard only needed two arrows. Ding¡­ You have killed [Orc Guard] and received 150 experience points. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent activated. You have obtained 1 All Stats. ¡® Although the orcs had become undead, their attributes had not been enhanced at all.. They were no threat to Chu Qi. In a short while, dozens of undead orcs were wiped out. Ding¡­ congratulations on leveling up to level 6. You have received 3 free stat points. ¡® A prompt sounded. Chu Qi had leveled up to level 6. After adding the attribute points, he directly took out the silver ring and equipped it. Then, Chu Qi came to the biggest tent in the camp. This was where the mission monsters were located. When they entered the monster¡¯s attack range, an orc riding a giant undead wolf walked out of the tent. [Undead Orc Knight (Elite)] Level: 7 Health: 4000 Damage: 260 Technique: Sturdy, Undead Body Seeing the attributes of the Orc Knight, Chu Qi curled his lips. He discovered that it didn¡¯t have any new techniques, so he couldn¡¯t harvest it. Then, he threw a Dark Mark. -1885. When he had just killed the undead orc, Chu Qi had obtained thirty full-attribute points. Now, with just one skill, he had destroyed nearly half of the orc warrior¡¯s health. Then, the skeleton archer also used a skill. Three arrows connected into a line and flew towards the Orc Knight. -1,200. -1,158. -1,240 All three arrows hit and it was an instant kill! Ding¡­ you have killed [Undead Orc Knight (Elite)]. You have received 300 experience points. ¡® Ding¡­ Talent activated. You have obtained 1 All Stats. ¡® With Chu Qi¡¯s super high attributes, the skeleton archer¡¯s attack was already higher than his. When he had more summoned creatures, he wouldn¡¯t have to do it himself. It would be great. Ding¡­ you have obtained [Map Fragment] x1, [Knight¡¯s Sword (Bronze) x1¡­ ¡® After picking up the items that had fallen to the ground, Chu Qi directly sent them to the second mission location. ¡­ Chu Qi¡¯s speed was very fast. In less than an hour, he had collected three pieces of the map. Now, he was only one step away from finding the tomb¡¯s location and marking it on the map. When he returned to the main camp of the orc tribe, Chu Qi saw thousands of players fighting the orc in the camp. The person standing at the back and commanding was the Kyushu Guild¡¯s Wind Whisper. Chu Qi directly walked closer and said to Wind Whisper, ¡°Why are you guys training here?¡± At this moment, Wind Whisper noticed Chu Qi. He smiled and said, ¡°The players in the guild received a hidden mission related to the Novice Village dungeon.¡± Hearing Wind Whisper¡¯s words, Chu Qi thought to himself, ¡°There are actually other quests related to this area¡­¡± He had originally thought that he was the only one who had received an instance dungeon quest. Unexpectedly, there was another way to open the instance dungeon. The missions that the Kyushu Guild accepted and Chu Qi¡¯s missions could both open dungeons. However, they could only do it in two different ways. One was to fight head-on, while the other was to infiltrate. However, it was nothing much. After all, the missions were different and did not conflict with each other. Wind Whisper continued, ¡°Brother Falling Dust, do you want to join us? If you join the mission, our progress will increase greatly.¡± Chu Qi shook his head. ¡°No need. I still have things to do.¡± Now that there were players from the Kyushu Guild dealing with the other orcs, Chu Qi felt much more relaxed. Otherwise, with only the Invisibility Potion¡¯s 30-second invisibility effect, it would have been difficult for him to approach the tomb. Now, he didn¡¯t have to worry about this problem. He could take advantage of the chaos and directly come to the mission point. After bidding farewell to Wind Whisper, Chu Qi directly entered the camp. ¡­ In the camp, the players from the Kyushu Guild were fighting with the orcs. Now, only a small number of players could reach level 5, and most of the players were only at level 4, so it was rather strenuous for them to deal with the orc warriors. At this moment, Chu Qi had just entered the camp when a few orc warriors surrounded him. However, there was no need for Chu Yang to make a move. The three skeletons beside him attacked one by one, instantly killing a few approaching orcs. The surrounding players were shocked when they saw this. ¡°F*ck! Who is this guy?!¡± ¡°Is that person a big shot? Look, his summoned creature can kill a level 5 orc in seconds!¡± ¡°We¡¯re both Summoners, but I think I¡¯m trash¡­¡± ¡°Summoners can only summon wild wolves, but he can actually summon skeletons. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not a hidden job!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ignoring the surrounding discussion, Chu Qi quickly walked towards the tomb. A few minutes later, he arrived near the tomb. There were more than twenty orc knights guarding the entrance to the tomb, and not far away, there was an orc holding a spear and riding a giant wolf. This orc knight was clearly different from the other orcs. It was dressed in silver-white armor and held a golden spear, looking very impressive. Orc Knight Leader [Elite] Level: 8 Health: 15,000 Attack Power: 400 Skills: Sturdy, Boost Although this orc was not a Boss, its attributes were much higher than other elite monsters. As Chu Qi approached, the Orc Knight Leader discovered him first. ¡°Human, don¡¯t you dare destroy our plan!¡± After speaking, it raised its spear and pointed it at Chu Qi. The twenty orc knights around it all charged towards Chu Qi. With his current attributes, the orc knights could at most cause one-digit damage. Chu Qi didn¡¯t care about them at all. Moreover, the players of the Kyushu Guild had already helped Chu Qi divert his attention. As long as there was no endless stream of orcs, the mere twenty orc knights here were nothing to him. -885 -1,230 -743 (Bleeding) ¡­ After the skeleton warriors and Skeletal Shooters rushed over, they immediately attacked. As the orc Knights were in a more concentrated position, Chu Qi¡¯s [Shockwave] talent was perfectly displayed. In a short while, more than twenty orc knights were killed. Now, only the Orc Knight Leader remained in his original spot and did not rush over. Chu Qi looked at him and smiled lightly. ¡°What? Are you afraid?¡± After the Orc Knight Leader heard this, he didn¡¯t reply to Chu Qi. Instead, he ran back and entered the tomb. ¡°It¡­ it really ran away?¡± Chu Qi immediately felt speechless. Then, Chu Qi went to the entrance of the tomb and took out a map. On the map, the symbol of a tomb slowly appeared where Chu Qi was. This meant that the mission was completed. Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After completing the mission, Chu Qi didn¡¯t stay any longer and directly left. In the orc camp, the battle between the players of the Kyushu Guild and the orcs was coming to an end. As the number one guild in the Dragon Nation, they were still very powerful. However, even if they couldn¡¯t complete the mission, as long as Chu Qi returned and handed in the mission, the Kyushu Guild¡¯s mission would automatically be completed. The next step was to enter the tomb instance dungeon. Not long after, Chu Qi returned to the newbie village. After seeing Chu Qi, the village chief said anxiously, ¡°How is it? Have you found the entrance to the tomb?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already found it.¡± As he spoke, Chu Qi took out the map and handed it to the village chief.. Ding¡­ Mission [Search for the Tomb Entrance] completed. ¡® Ding¡­ you have received [Rainbow Necklace (Gold)] ¡Á 1, 4000 experience points, 80 gold coins, and 600 reputation points. ¡­ After the village chief checked the map, he said excitedly, ¡°This is great. We can completely resolve this matter now.¡± ¡°I previously released a mission for the adventurers to defeat the orc tribe. I don¡¯t know if they¡¯ve completed it yet, but now that we know the location of the tomb, the danger will naturally be resolved after we kill their leader!¡± ¡°I want to invite you to the tomb to kill their leaders. Are you willing?¡± ¡°Ding¡­ Do you accept the mission [Eliminate the orcs in the undead tomb]?¡± ¡°I accept,¡± Chu Qi answered directly. After Chu Qi accepted the mission, the village chief¡¯s favorability increased by 30 points, reaching 100. This also represented the mysterious store of the village chief that he had activated. Indeed, after the village head saw Chu Qi accept the mission, he smiled and nodded, ¡°I¡¯ve collected many treasures over the years. You can choose one as a gift for you.¡± Just as the village chief finished speaking, an inventory appeared in front of Chu Qi. There were more than ten items on it. [Secret Technique Pearl (Gold)] Effect: Increases Intelligence by 10% when placed in a backpack. [Demon Dragon¡¯s Blood (Diamond)] Effect: After using it, it can permanently increase all resistance by 20%. It can only be used once. ¡­ After seeing the things in the village chief¡¯s store, Chu Qi¡¯s eyes widened. Especially after seeing the diamond-level [Demon Dragon¡¯s Blood], he felt like his heart was about to stop beating. The village chief was indeed the richest man in the newbie village. He even had a diamond-grade item! Although potions that could increase resistance were not rare, items that could increase permanent resistance were very rare. Chu Qi remembered that this item, [Demon Dragon¡¯s Blood], only had a chance to obtain it after killing the Shadow Demon Dragon at level 50. Moreover, the chance of obtaining it was pitifully low. It was completely unexpected that the mysterious store had such an item. To have this item, it meant that the village chief was definitely not as simple as he looked. After Chu Qi calmed down, he directly chose [Demon Dragon¡¯s Blood]. After choosing, prices began to appear for the items in the store. The other items needed gold coins to be purchased. After taking a look, only the [Secret Technique Pearl] was what he needed the most at the moment. The Secret Technique Pearl had no level restriction, nor did it occupy the equipment column. Furthermore, its attributes were very good. Items that increased attributes by a percentage would not be very useful in the early stages, but they would be very useful in the later stages. The price of the Secret Technique Pearl was 300 gold coins, which was already very low. Ordinary Gold equipment could be sold for more than 300 gold coins at the current price. Moreover, this was backpack equipment. It was worth even more. Thinking of this, Chu Qi did not hesitate and directly bought it. After buying it, Chu Qi only had more than 100 gold coins left. This made him feel a sense of danger. He definitely couldn¡¯t do without gold coins. He had to get more gold coins in the future. Only then would he feel at ease. Chu Qi opened his backpack and directly used the [Demon Dragon¡¯s Blood]. Then, he looked at the rainbow necklace reward. [Rainbow Necklace (Gold)] Level: 5 All Stats :+30 Special Feature :+1 for all summoning skills. Special Feature :+1000 MP Special Feature: Magic Attack+100 The number of summons+1. Just this attribute alone could greatly increase Chu Qi¡¯s overall damage. Moreover, more summoned creatures could better withstand the damage. Apart from equipment, the only way to increase the number of summons was to increase the skill level. In the game, if one wanted to increase the skill level, they could only do so by increasing the player¡¯s level. Every time a player leveled up, their skill level would automatically increase by one level. The increase in skill level would also bring huge improvements to the players. With the same equipment and skills, a level 11 player¡¯s damage was at least 30% higher than a level 10 player¡¯s. This was also the importance of skill levels. After checking the attributes, Chu Qi directly equipped the necklace. ¡°Next, it¡¯s time to head to the Cave of the Undead.¡± After bidding farewell to the village chief, he went straight to the Tomb of the Undead dungeon. ¡­ Ding¡­ Maple Wood Village Announcement: Player [Falling Dust] has completed the Novice Village dungeon mission. The dungeon [Tomb of the Undead] has now been activated. After the system announcement sounded, the location of the instance dungeon was marked on all the players¡¯ maps. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the big shot Falling Dust who killed the iron Boss? He¡¯s really something!¡± ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s form a team and clear the dungeon!¡± ¡°I want to challenge the Instance Dungeon too. Please guide me, Venerable Falling Dust!¡± ¡°Low EQ: Big brother, please guide me. High EQ: Daddy!¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, the Kyushu Guild¡¯s mission was completed. They had just completed the mission and were very close to the dungeon location. After reading the system announcement, Wind Whisper led the team to the entrance of the tomb. [Undead Cave] Level Requirement: 5 Number of people entering: 1-20 After seeing the requirement for the number of people in the dungeon, Wind Whisper chose the top players from the 19 elite teams and entered the dungeon with him. ¡­ Half an hour later, Chu Qi finally arrived at the entrance of the dungeon. At this moment, there were already many people gathered here. Most of them were players from the Kyushu Guild and the Blood Moon Guild. Chu Qi had just arrived when Wind Whisper saw him. Wind Whisper walked closer and said, ¡°Brother Falling Dust, you¡¯re finally here. This dungeon is extraordinarily difficult!¡± Chu Qi smiled and said, ¡°What? Have you guys already tried?¡± Wind Whisper smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t remind me. The first Boss in the dungeon is actually a Bronze-Grade one. If there were no restrictions on the number of people entering, it would be fine. But we only have 20 people and don¡¯t have a guide to refer to. We might have to try a few more times.¡± Then, he continued, ¡°By the way, when you were completing the quest, did you obtain any information regarding the instance dungeon?¡± Hearing this, Chu Qi replied, ¡°That¡¯s right. I do know how to attack the Boss.¡± Chu Qi casually said. He was a reincarnated person, so he naturally knew how to fight the dungeon. ¡°That¡¯s great. Can you bring us to clear the dungeon? After we clear it, I can offer 800 gold coins as a reward!¡± After hearing that Chu Qi knew the dungeon¡¯s strategy, Wind Whisper hurriedly made an offer. ¡°Sure.¡± Chu Qi nodded and agreed directly. He definitely had to get the first clear of the dungeon. Now that there was a chance to earn gold coins, he naturally wouldn¡¯t miss it. Hearing Chu Qi¡¯s reply, Wind Whisper directly pulled him into the team and handed the team leader over to him. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After the team was gathered, Chu Qi led Wind Whisper team into the tomb. Just as he entered, Chu Qi raised his hand and released a technique: Summon Skeleton. With the help of the rainbow necklace, three skeleton warriors with higher attributes than the elites present appeared in front of Chu Qi. The first monster that appeared in front of the team was an undead orc that Chu Qi had seen outside. [Undead Orc Knight] Level: 7 Health: 8000 Damage: 540 Technique: Sturdy, Charge, Undead body This undead orc knight was the same type of monster that Chu Qi had encountered before. However, due to the dungeon¡¯s enhancement, its overall attributes were twice as high as those outside. -1,600. -1,874 -980. (Bleeding) -1189 -2,940. (Three-layered Bleeding) Without waiting for the others to make a move, the three skeleton warriors killed this monster. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they stood rooted to the ground. Then, they reacted. ¡°Quick!¡± ¡°Everyone, listen to my command.¡± ¡°Archers, go lure the wandering monsters one by one. Cooperate with the Mages and pull the monsters.¡± ¡°Warriors, maintain formation.¡± Seeing how terrifying Chu Qi¡¯s combat strength was, they also knew what their responsibility was. The group dispersed and began to attract the monsters. With the help of the skeleton pets and the 20 people, everyone quickly arrived at the entrance of the first Boss. During this time, Chu Qi obtained 61 points of all attributes. This way, the attributes of his summoned beast had also reached an astonishing level. Wind Whisper walked up. ¡°Brother Falling Dust, this Boss¡¯s health and attack power far surpasses all the monsters we encountered before. Our people only had 50% of their health left before they were wiped out by a full-power skill.¡± Wind Whisper and the others had a deep understanding of how powerful dungeon monsters were. Even though they were all elite players, they could not resist this group of terrifying monsters. ¡°You can just fight normally when the time comes. I¡¯ll command you to dodge skills.¡± With that, he continued to walk forward. Entering the ancient door in front of him, a huge coffin was placed horizontally. A deafening roar was heard, and an eight-meter-tall giant undead fell from the sky and stood in front of the coffin. [Giant Orc Undead General (Bronze Lord)] Level: 10 Health Points: 300,000 Damage: 4000 Technique: Sturdy, Earthquake, Revival The moment the Bronze Rank Boss appeared, it displayed its powerful aura. Sturdy as a strong superior skill, it also provided him with powerful defense. The warriors in the elite team rushed forward and pulled the Boss¡¯s aggro one by one. Chu Qi raised his hand and threw a dark mark over, then ordered his summoned beast to attack the Boss. The team member and Chu Qi¡¯s attacks landed on the Boss and dealt a series of damage of different sizes. 2186 403 ¨C 1966 384 1845 -980 (Bleeding) Zhang Ye Everyone¡¯s attacks landed on the body of the giant Orc Undead General, whose HP decreased at a visible rate. With the addition of Chu Qi, this powerful damage dealer, the huge orc undead general¡¯s health bar quickly fell to 50%. A red mist of blood rose around the giant orc undead general. Earthquake! Chu Qi smiled slightly. He knew that this Boss would release its first group technique under 50% of its health. Chu Qi smiled slightly. He knew that this Boss would release its first group technique under 50% of its health. The huge shockwave overturned the few remaining players. -4,999 Terrifying damage appeared. The Skeletal Demon Warrior¡¯s health bar decreased by a large amount, and it almost had no health left. As for the other warriors, they died transformed into their soul state. The team entered the arena again, and the priest carried the skeleton warrior¡¯s health bar back. He continued to attack! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The skeleton archer raised his hand and pulled the bow. Three arrows that were like shooting stars shot towards the face of the giant Orc undead general. 26002600 26002600 -3,900 (Critical Hit)! The Boss¡¯s health bar decreased by a large amount, and at the same time, it released its second skill. The holy light landed on the Undead General at an inopportune moment, and its health bar returned to 50%. Earthquake! This time, the shockwave didn¡¯t hit everyone. Just as Wind Whisper thought that this dungeon attack had also failed, he was surprised to discover that there was still someone alive in the upper left corner of the team. Chu Qi! The four thousand plus damage lowered Chu Qi¡¯s health to a minimum, but he was not killed instantly. Chu Qi saw that the cooldown time for his technique had arrived, and he raised his hand to cast a spell. Summon the skeleton warriors! Summon the skeleton archer! The five summoned skeletons appeared again and firmly attracted the Boss¡¯s aggro. ¡°Brother, if you can¡¯t, we can come again next time. I¡¯ve gained experience this time.¡± Wind Whisper saw that Chu Qi was still alive and was happy for a moment, but then he remembered that the Boss still used 150,000 HP, and his eyes dimmed again. ¡°Be quiet, watch me do it alone.¡± Chu Qi calmly retreated to the side and ate his blood medicine. His health returned to full again, and Chu Qi returned to the battlefield. His constant movement allowed Chu Qi¡¯s Charge to reach its maximum value. Dark Mark! 4900 The double damage instantly took away 5% of the Boss¡¯s health. Uninterrupted arrows shot out from the skeleton archer¡¯s hands. 3200 ¨C 3219 -9,800 (Bleeding Level 10)! The Boss¡¯s health was once again pulled to the bottom. Chu Qi used another dark mark to completely take the Boss¡¯s life. Ding! You have killed the dungeon Boss [Giant Orc Undead General (Bronze Overlord)] and obtained 40,000 experience points. Ding! Congratulations on leveling up to level 7. You have received 3 free stat points. Ding! Talent activated. You have received 1 all-attribute point and the passive skill [Revival]. ¡® ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Revive (1 / 1)] Skill Effect: Revive on the spot after death. Cooldown for one day. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°Divine technique!¡± This was definitely a divine-level skill at the current stage. Whether it was in the game or in the real world, the effect of this skill was very strong! The effect of [Revival] made Chu Qi wild with joy. This technique was equivalent to giving Chu Qi a second life. After reading the skill introduction, Chu Qi picked up the equipment the Boss had dropped. Ding! You have received 500 gold coins, [Medal of Courage (Bronze)] x1, [Heavy Sword (Silver)] x1, [Unbreakable ¡®x1¡­¡± Looking at all the fallen items, none of them were suitable for Chu Qi. After trading them for 300 gold coins to Wind Whisper, Chu Qi looked at the skill book. This was the only thing that could be used. After using it, Chu Qi opened his character panel. ID: Falling Dust Level: 7 Occupation: Undead Lord (First Stage) Health Points: 5,600 Mana: 6000 Magic Attack: 2800 Strength: 210, Agility: 210, Intelligence: 324, Constitution: 210 Defense: 180 Critical Hit Chance: 10% Talent: [Soul Reaper (Unique)] Technique: [Summoning Skeleton Warrior (Iron)] [Summoning Skeleton Archer (Bronze)] ¡­ [Unbreakable (Bronze)] Skill Effect: The lower the HP, the higher it will be in Shanghai. For every 1% of health lost, all damage would be increased by 1%. After reading the skill description, only four words appeared in Chu Qi¡¯s mind: Counter Kill Divine Technique. This technique would cause Chu Qi to cause higher damage when the required amount was low. At the same time, Wind Whisper led the other members to revive before running over. ¡°Big Boss! Are we still going to continue fighting?¡± Chu Qi¡¯s ability to solo the Boss completely convinced Wind Whisper. ¡°Of course we have to continue. We¡¯re going to get the first clear.¡± ¡­ After distributing the dropped equipment, Chu Qi led the team to clear the small monsters all the way to the second Boss. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°This Boss is going to be a little difficult. Healer, pay attention to your health.¡± ¡°The people killed by the Boss will be transformed into Undead Warriors. Their attributes are related to the dead.¡± Chu Qi¡¯s short two sentences made everyone take a deep breath. Just this characteristic alone was enough to give everyone a headache. ¡°A wave of monsters will attack as soon as we enter. Mage, clear them.¡± After adding this sentence, Chu Qi entered the last tomb. A dense horde of bugs swept over. [Holy Beetle (Iron Stage)] Level 1 Health Points: 100+10 Damage: 10+1 Technique: Self-Destruction [Self-Destruction]: After death, it will explode on the spot, causing 30 pure damage. The attributes and skills of the bugs were very low, but the sheer number of them made everyone¡¯s scalp tingle. The self-destruction of one bug dealt 30 damage, but there were at least 2,000 bugs on the field. The warriors in the team lined up in two rows to block the attacks of the bug swarm. The mages behind constantly released large-scale spells to attack the center of the Bug Swarm. Without Chu Qi¡¯s command, the 19-man elite team displayed perfect teamwork. Not a single person died. They managed to survive this crisis without any mishaps. Before everyone could recover, the Boss had already appeared. Countless black bugs appeared again and gathered together. They gradually turned into a tall human figure. [Parasitized Orc Sacrifice (Silver Level Lord)] Level 10 Health: 800,000 Damage: 100 Technique: Bug Swarm, Finger of Death, Revival of the Dead, Scream The swarm of bugs that had just appeared was the Boss¡¯s first skill. As the first Silver Rank Boss to appear, the Orc Sacrifice that was possessed had four skills. Even though his attack power was only 100, no one dared to lower their guard. ¡°Silver!¡± The sudden appearance of the orc priest made Wind Whisper¡¯s eyes narrow. The black aura enveloped everyone, except for Chu Qi who was unaffected because of his undead body. Everyone else¡¯s movement speed had also been reduced by 30%. Revival of the Dead! The originally dead bugs were revived one by one. The warriors in front moved slowly and were quickly surrounded. If not for the healers at the back, a large number of people would have died. Dark Mark! Summon the skeleton warriors! Summon the skeleton archers! Chu Qi didn¡¯t hesitate. He raised his hand and released three techniques. The skeleton warriors were blocking the Bug Swarm at the front, and the skeleton archers were continuously dealing damage at the back. The Bug Swarm was already blocked by the front row of warriors and the skeleton warriors. The archers and mages in the team also began attacking the Boss. The Boss¡¯s HP decreased continuously. 720,000! 680,000! 520,000! Suddenly, the Orc Sacrifice raised his hand, and red lightning instantly shot out from his finger and hit one of the warriors in the front row. No damage appeared. Before he could even scream, this warrior had already died and entered a spirit state. Instant kill! Lightning struck again and again, and only 10 people were left in the original 20-man team. The Orc Sacrifice also lost 30% of its HP. The warriors had all become souls, and their corpses had become undead warriors. ¡°All of you, run! Make the best use of your time! The first person to return will be rewarded with 50 gold coins!¡± Upon seeing this, Wind Whisper immediately shouted. But the swarm of bugs had already surrounded them. Chu Qi frowned, not expecting this outcome. The players¡¯ damage was completely insufficient for this stage. Even if the Boss had an instant kill skill, it would only be used when its HP reached 20%. Every cast had a ten-second animation, too. There were a total of 13 warriors in his team, including his skeleton warriors. In 130 seconds, they had not accomplished much. Facing the current situation, Chu Qi felt the grimness of the situation. Perhaps everyone would be wiped out in this wave. In Chu Qi¡¯s memory, this Boss could only use one technique at a time. Therefore, when he used the Finger of Death, they had to focus on killing the Boss. This would prevent the release of the boss¡¯ last skill, Screaming Howl. [Screaming Howl] Skill Description: Unleashes a powerful sound wave that stuns for 10 seconds and deals 4000 Spirit Damage. The damage from the skill wasn¡¯t as high as the previous Boss¡¯ earth-shattering one. But 10 seconds of dizziness was enough to drown everyone in bugs. The Boss still had 7% of its health left. Even if Chu Qi used all his skills and the bleeding effect, he could only reduce 5% of the Boss¡¯ health. He was still a sliver away from killing the Boss. Just as Chu Qi was at a loss of what to do, blazing flames came from behind, sweeping away the swarm of bugs that had surrounded him. Immediately after, a huge blue magic arrow shot out from behind and hit the Boss. The Boss¡¯s health bar decreased by 2%! It let out a shrill howl. Apart from Chu Qi and his summoned beasts, all the members fell into a daze. Seeing this, Chu Qi quickly attacked with all his strength. The effects of persevering and charging also appeared at this moment. Dark Mark! 4518 Three consecutive arrows! -6,218 -6,432 ¨C -8,194 (Critical Hit) -10000 (Bleeding Level 10)! In an instant, the swarm of bugs turned to dust, and the Boss fell to the ground. Ding! You have killed [Parasitized Orc Sacrifice (Silver Overlord)], gained 100,000 experience. Ding! Congratulations on leveling up to level 9. You have received 3 free stat points. Ding! Talent skill activated. You have received 1 attribute point for all attributes. You have received the passive skill [Bug Swarm]. Bug Swarm. Skill Description: For every enemy killed, summon a Holy Beetle. [Holy Beetle] Health Points: Intelligence x10 Attack Power: Intelligence x1 Technique: Self-Destruction A series of notifications sounded, filling Chu Qi¡¯s ears. Chu Qi looked at the new technique he had obtained and was very satisfied. His Holy Beetles kept their self-destructing skills, and their attributes were much better than the previous ones. Chu Qi picked up the equipment that the Boss had dropped. [Death Spirit Scepter (Silver)]! The first item made Chu Qi¡¯s eyes light up. He hurriedly continued to analyse it. [Death Spirit Scepter (Silver)] (1 / 7) Level: 8 Magic Attack: 1000 Intelligence :+50 Special Feature 1: The surrounding undead creature friendly attributes have increased by 20% Special Feature 2: Increase the summoning strength by 30% Special Feature 3: The power of Undead-type spells increases by 8000 ¡­ This was a set part. In this game, sets were extremely precious equipment. The attributes of a single piece of equipment were much stronger than that of ordinary casual equipment. And the equipment in front of him was enough to double Chu Qi¡¯s fighting strength! Apart from the third characteristic that was temporarily useless to Chu Qi, the rest were all top-grade attributes. Chu Qi changed his equipment and then checked the other spoils of war. Bone Shield (Silver), Curse Sword (Bronze), Death Shoulder Armor (Bronze), Death Spirit Cloak (Silver)¡­ [Death Spirit Cloak (Silver)] (1 / 7) Health Points :+500 Defense :+30 Special Feature 1: Reduces the cooldown by 5%. Another part of the Undead Set would reduce its cooldown. Chu Qi directly equipped it. The other equipment that he didn¡¯t need were all traded to Wind Whisper, and he obtained a large sum of money. It felt comfortable. Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After passing the second checkpoint, Chu Qi and the others followed the winding road and arrived at the third level area. The monsters here no longer needed Archers to attract aggro like before. Instead, they would attack the surrounding enemies. ¡°Wait here.¡± After saying this, Chu Qi ran out alone. The surrounding undead ghosts were all attracted by him and chased after Chu Qi. [Undead Ghost] Level: 7 Health: 4000 Damage: 1000 Skills: Frenzy, Bloodthirsty As soon as Chu Qi entered, he was surrounded by this group of monsters. Relying on the 25% increase in movement speed brought by the [Silver Medal] and the [Secret Technique Shoes], Chu Qi jumped back and forth between the [Undead Ghost]. In a while, Chu Qi returned to where his teammates were. At this moment, nearly four hundred undead ghosts had gathered behind him. ¡°Is he crazy?!¡± Wind Whisper couldn¡¯t help but exclaim as he looked at the scene in front of him. Chu Qi did not reply. Instead, he turned around and stopped. The skeleton archer was summoned. -3094 ¨C -2891 -2981 Under the area-of-effect attack brought by the max-level shockwave, half of the undead ghosts were quickly killed. Black Bugs crawled out of the corpses of these undead ghosts. This was the effect of [Bug Swarm]. Stacks of Holy Beetles self-destruct, and the enemies that die from the explosion summon new Holy Beetles. In less than ten seconds, more than four hundred undead ghosts had been completely wiped out. Ding! Talent skill activated. All attributes received 121 points, passive skill [Frenzy] obtained. [Frenzy] x 10 / 10 Skill Description: Increases Summoner¡¯s attack speed by 100%. Ding! Talent skill activated. All attributes received 189 points, passive skill [Bloodthirsty] obtained. Bloodthirsty Skill Description: All damage received 25% All-Steal. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on advancing to level 8! You have received 3 free attribute points.¡± A crisp notification sound rang beside his ear. A full 300 attribute points were taken away by Chu Qi. Chu Qi¡¯s attributes almost doubled. These two powerful techniques caused Chu Qi¡¯s battle strength to rise again. At the same time, the endless stream of undead ghosts no longer spawned. Chu Qi knew that the final Boss was coming. The ground under his feet gradually shattered, revealing the altar hidden below. Cage after cage appeared in eight different directions. Inside the cage were all the monsters they had encountered before, including the first two Bosses. Crimson liquid continued to spew out as a human-sized orc slowly appeared. He was the final Boss of this dungeon, the King of Orcs. The black double axes spun in his hands. There was a strange flame in his eyes. Every undead creature had that flame. The current King of orc was in the undead form. [King of Orcs (Silver)] Level: 15 Health Points: 10,000,000 Damage: 5,000 Technique: Assembly, Rage, Knight¡¯s Will, Summoning Wolves, Werewolves It didn¡¯t have the huge size of the previous two Bosses, but its aura far surpassed them. The five skills of a level 15 Silver Boss made the team members tremble with fear. They all looked at the strongest person in the team, Chu Qi. Facing the strongest Boss of the newbie village, Chu Qi didn¡¯t back down at all. The monsters he killed along the way had already given him a powerful attribute boost. Without waiting, Chu Qi summoned his skeleton warriors and skeleton archers and threw a dark mark. -5408 ¨C -5762 ¨C -4,230 (Bleeding) ¡­ Chu Qi¡¯s attack angered the Boss, and the axe in his hand flew towards Chu Qi. Chu Qi seemed to have expected this and dodged it before he even finished raising his hand. His skeleton warriors had already surrounded the [King of Orcs]. The skeleton archer beside him equipped three bows and three consecutive arrows hit the King of the Orcs who had nowhere to dodge. -6600 -5999 -6042 The high damage took away a small portion of the Boss¡¯s health bar. The other teammates¡¯ attacks on the Boss felt like they were giving him a painful massage. [King of Orcs] suddenly raised the war flag behind him, and the cages around the altar opened. All the Bosses that he had encountered previously appeared. ¡°Leave these two to us, Boss Falling Dust. You go deal with the [King of Orcs].¡± Wind Whisper¡¯s voice came from the other side, so Chu Qi ignored the other two Bosses and focused on attacking the main Boss. Dark Mark! -4,895 ¨C -4,230,0 (Bleeding Level 10) The bleeding effect that appeared again displayed its powerful strength. The Boss¡¯s health decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. 900000¡­ 860000¡­ 740000¡­ he had already lost half its blood. The Boss stopped attacking and the phantom of a golden helmet appeared. A giant wolf ran over. The [King of Orcs] flipped over and rode the giant wolf. Red light shone from its body, and strong winds blew in the field. Wolf Chariot! Wolf Summon! Rage! Rider¡¯s Will! Huge Waves quickly ran on the field. With the enhancement of four skills, the damage and defense of the [King of Beasts] had been raised to a terrifying level. Every wolf cart would take away a life. Chu Qi dodged everywhere, perfectly dodging every attack. After the technique ended, Chu Qi continued to attack methodically. 500000¡­ 400000¡­ 250000¡­ 8000¡­ Finally, the King of Orcs fell to the ground, and the shattered two axes stabbed into his body. Ding¡­ Talent skill activated. All attributes received 1 point, passive skill [Assembly] received. ¡® [Assemble] Skill Description: Once more than 100 summoned beasts die, all of them will be revived. Cooldown: 64 hours Ding¡­ Experience Points: 100,000, 800 gold coins. ¡® Ding¡­ World Announcement: Congratulations to the team led by Maple Wood Beginner Village¡¯s player [Falling Dust] for completing the first clear of the Bronze-Grade dungeon [Undead Cave]. The system reward is [Silver Skill Treasure Chest] x1, with 6 Free Stats. ¡® ¡­ At the same time, on the other side. The president of the Blood Wolf Guild was instructing the 19 elites in the guild to kill the first Boss with difficulty. Seeing that the Boss was about to die and the entire server¡¯s announcement was made known to everyone, the guild master of the Blood Wolf Guild was stunned. The Boss also used a clearance skill at this moment. Everyone was wiped out! ¡°Damn it, Falling Dust!¡± The president of the Blood Wolf Guild turned into his spirit and shouted angrily. ¡­ When he returned to this side, Chu Qi had already picked up the Boss¡¯s equipment. Many of the equipment that fell were top-grade at this stage, but to Chu Qi, they were not very useful. A piece of silver equipment suddenly attracted Chu Qi¡¯s attention. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Undead Boots] (1 / 7) Health Points :+500 Defense :+40 Special Feature 1: Own skill [Vanishing Step] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The attributes of this equipment were not very strong, but it was the last part of the Undead Set. Chu Qi changed out of his [Mystic Technique Boots] Ding¡­ set attributes activated! ¡® [Undead Set (Bronze)] Health Points :+3000 Defense :+100 Special Feature 1: Undead Summoner¡¯s Stats+50% Special Feature 2: Damage affected by Undead attacks -40% The attributes of the set couldn¡¯t help but make Chu Qi smile. The attributes of this set could be used to attack the Level 10 [Undead Heights] area. Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After looking at the set¡¯s attributes, Chu Qi looked at the skill that came with the shoes. [Vanishing Step] Skill Description: 30 seconds of invisibility. Usage: 100 MP Cooldown: 5 minutes This technique greatly increased Chu Qi¡¯s flexibility. At this moment, Wind Whisper walked over. Chu Qi traded all the other equipment that he didn¡¯t use to Wind Whisper. Ding! 1200 gold coins have been transferred to the account. In one instance, Chu Qi had obtained nearly 3000 gold coins. After dispelling the team formation, Chu Qi returned to the village chief. ¡°This Falling Dust is too strong. He just killed his first Boss and cleared his first dungeon.¡± ¡°I want to try and get a spot in his friend list. I¡¯ll definitely be able to do well in the future.¡± ¡­ Along the way, the players were discussing Chu Qi¡¯s first dungeon in the entire server. Chu Qi ignored them and handed in the mission. ¡°Respected warrior, thank you for destroying the orcs¡¯ operation for Maple Wood Village and bringing peace. This is the reward you deserve and an additional gift from me.¡± Ding¡­ Congratulations on completing the mission [Eliminate the orcs in the undead tomb]. You have received 12,000 experience points and 500 gold coins. ¡® Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Village Chief¡¯s Gift x1, [Death Spirit Circlet (Gold)], and Silver Skill Treasure Chest x1. Ding! Congratulations, you have leveled up to level 10 and have unlocked the Promotion Mission [Damn thief]. After receiving the reward, Chu Qi immediately rose to level 10 and obtained a job advancement mission. He opened his backpack and the attributes of the equipment he had just obtained appeared in front of his eyes. [Death Spirit Circlet (Gold)] Health Points :+2000 Mana :+1000 Defense :+50 Special Feature 1: Summon-type spells+20% Critical Strike Rate (Critical Hit summons twice the number of summoned beasts) Special Feature 2: Own skill [Finger of Death] Finger of Death Skill Description: A 5% mortality rate against living beings of lower levels (2.5% at the Elite level and 0.5% at the Boss) Special Feature 3: 20% of the HP will be converted into magic attack. Special Feature 4: Allied forces of undead creatures within 10 meters of you will receive [Strengthening Halo]. [Strengthening Halo] Skill Description: Increases attack power by 20% ¡°What powerful equipment!¡± The first Gold equipment completely crushed all the other equipment on Chu Qi. After equipping this equipment, Chu Qi exited the game and went offline to rest. ¡­ At home, the gaming capsule opened and Chu Qi sat up. Chu Qi, who had not moved for a long time, moved his limbs. The crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard from his entire body. Feeling the hunger in his stomach, Chu Qi decided to take a shower and then go out to buy some food to fill his stomach. Mist filled the bathroom. Through the mirror, Chu Qi realized that there was a skull symbol on his collarbone. This was the symbol of the [Undead Lord]. As a reincarnated person, Chu Qi had already allowed some of the abilities in the game to descend on him. Feeling the power on his body, Chu Qi was sure that he had obtained about one percent of its power. To others, it might not be much, but to a crazy attribute monster like Chu Qi, it was very terrifying. After putting on his clothes, Chu Qi brought some money and went downstairs. At this time, the sky was already half lit. Chu Qi had been online for a total of eight hours. If not for the life support system in the gaming capsule, he would have died. Passing through alley after alley, the number of people on the streets increased. Most of them were parents in their middle-age or middle-age years buying breakfast for their children. When he arrived at a shop, Chu Qi casually found a seat and sat down. ¡°Boss! Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and two meat buns.¡± About five minutes later, the food Chu Qi ordered was served to the table. After filling his stomach, Chu Qi paid and went home. He turned on his computer and looked at the forum in the game. Chu Qi was very curious about how far the players had explored these days. He browsed through the forums one by one. Suddenly, an essential message thread appeared in front of Chu Qi. A user named ¡°Falling Clouds¡± posted something that attracted Chu Qi¡¯s attention. ¡°Warning! New players, please don¡¯t go to the coordinates (1441, 876). A huge and disgusting Silver Rank Boss appeared there. Getting killed aside, it will even steal our equipment. The Boss¡¯s stats are in the link below. We¡¯ve already lost quite a few people here. Let¡¯s dodge this! ¡± This coordinate was near Maple Wood Village. Chu Qi clicked on the link below and a picture appeared. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Great Bandit (Silver) Health Points: 450000 Damage: 1,800 Technique: Steal, Earth Escape, Slap to the Head ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Great Bandit? Wasn¡¯t this a very famous special Boss back then? He had actually appeared here! In his previous life, Chu Qi had heard about this Boss. This Boss was good at stealing, and had stolen from a guild leader to the point where he even lost his underwear. He did not expect this strange fellow to actually appear in that area. Interesting. Chu Qi noted down this coordinate and then continued to browse the topic. After one disappeared, he closed the page and lay on the bed to catch up on his sleep. ¡­ Ding! In his half-asleep state, Chu Qi was woken up by the notification sound. At this moment, he could not tell if he was in the game or in reality. The long period of mental fatigue made Chu Qi sleep very uncomfortable. Picking up his phone, a message from his university classmate group appeared on the screen. ¡°Notify everyone! We¡¯ll be having a class reunion at 5 pm at Hai Ling Hotel ¨C Yellow Mountain. I hope everyone can come by!¡± Chu Qi, who was woken up by the news, was a little impatient. His anger from being woken up suddenly rose again. ¡°Fuck you!¡± As soon as sent the message, he went back to sleep and into his dream. When he woke up again, it was already five in the afternoon. There were three missed calls on his phone. Two were from his best friend, Liang Yuan, and the other was from an unknown caller. On the other hand, there was no reaction from the group chat where he sent the message. Even the person who sent the message did not refute him. Chu Qi called Liang Yuan. After three rings, the call was picked up. ¡°Chu Qi, why are you so angry today? It¡¯s not the first time that class monitor notified us, and you never cared. What¡¯s with the sudden reply today?¡± ¡°I got angry when I woke up. Besides, he didn¡¯t reply. What could happen to me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You¡¯re the group leader. You couldn¡¯t kick him out, so he created a new group. Everyone except you joined.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m not going to that party anyway.¡± ¡°Fine, fine. I have to go over first. We¡¯ll talk later.¡± The sound of the call being hung up appeared in his ears. Chu Qi looked at the time. September 27, 2025, 5: 49 p.m. Only now did Chu Qi realize that he had not only played for one night, but for an entire day! The phone rang again, this time with the unknown caller. Chu Qi hesitated for a moment before answering the call. Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It was a strange woman¡¯s voice. ¡°Mr. Chu Qi? I have a very good program here. Might I recommend it to you, it¡¯s a good experience¡­¡± The corner of Chu Qi¡¯s mouth twitched continuously. He directly hung up the phone and blocked this number. After being disturbed, Chu Qi no longer felt sleepy and continued to read the forums. ¡°The Teleport Portal of the main city requires a special mission to open it. The mission is extremely difficult. It requires at least a ten-man team with a full team of 10 members.¡± ¡°Does anyone know how to fight the second Boss of ¡®Undead Cave¡¯? We¡¯ve already wiped them out more than ten times.¡± A player¡¯s speech attracted Chu Qi¡¯s attention. ¡°Brothers, I have changed my class to a hidden class. There are no level restrictions! Here, let me show it off: [Cleric] ID: Praise the Sun Level: 9 ¡­ He had just finished reading the name of this class when Chu Qi lost interest. In his previous life¡¯s memory, this job was the first hidden job to be discovered, but it was different from other hidden jobs. [Cleric] could not learn new skills by upgrading or learning skill books. Only with enough church contribution and reputation could one obtain the specialized skill books for [Cleric]. Reputation and contribution were the hardest things to obtain in this game. It required a lot of time and effort. In other words, without sufficient Reputation Points and Contribution Points, a Cleric would be a pretty useless hero. In his previous life, by the time the game merged with real life, that Cleric had only learned four or five intermediate skills. Another message popped up. It was an essential thread. ¡°I discovered a chain mission! The following are the details of the mission. Red Maple City¡¯s Reward Mission: Baroness¡¯s Invitation Mission Title: ¡°Baroness¡¯ Gala¡± Mission Description: Entering the Baroness¡¯s Party (Stage 1) Brothers, I can¡¯t even complete this mission. I can only share it with everyone so we can think of a way together. All you need to do is talk to the security guard outside the baron¡¯s house. ¡± ¡­ After a few minutes, Chu Qi didn¡¯t obtain any useful information again. After remembering the mission of the Great Bandit and the Baroness, Chu Qi entered the gaming capsule. He went online again. It was nighttime in the world of Infinite Worlds. Chu Qi opened his backpack and opened the two boxes he had obtained previously. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on obtaining [Baroness¡¯s Invitation Letter (Mission Item)] and [Rock¡¯s pocket watch (Special)].¡± [Baroness¡¯s invitation letter (Quest Item)] Item Stats: Quest item Item Description: You can enter the Baroness¡¯ Gala with this invitation letter. (Only once) [Crocker¡¯s pocket watch (Special)] Item Stats: Special item Item Description: Give it to a bard named Crocker at a special time and you will receive the mysterious award. Special Feature 1: Place it in your backpack+20 Luck Points Increase luck! The attribute of luck was very functional in the Infinite Worlds. The luck attribute could increase the probability of a Boss dropping good equipment and the chance of encountering a fortuitous encounter. All the players¡¯ initial luck was below 20. Chu Qi now had almost twice the luck of others. Apart from this mission that increased his luck, Chu Qi also obtained the [Baroness¡¯s Invitation]. The mission ¡°Baroness¡¯s Gala¡± that he had seen on the thread suddenly appeared. Then, Chu Qi checked the Promotion Mission he had obtained previously, the [Damn thief]. Mission Title: [Damn Thief] Mission Description: In the tomb of the previous generation¡¯s [Undead Lord], an important artifact was stolen by a [Great Bandit]. The thief was found and killed to retrieve the lost item. After planning what he was going to do next, Chu Qi came in front of the village chief. ¡°Hello, I want to go to Red Maple City. May I know where to go?¡± ¡°Esteemed warrior, you need to go to the Dry Leaf Town through the teleportation formation first and then head west. The first city will be Red Maple City.¡± Chu Qi stepped into the teleportation formation. The image in front of him spun at the speed of light. After two seconds, a notification sounded in his ears. ¡°Ding! Welcome to Dry Leaf Town! New map discovered, 100 experience points obtained.¡± An orderly city appeared around Chu Qi. Because it was nighttime, many of the surrounding shops had already closed, and there was no one in some of the open shops. Chu Qi walked towards the road out of town. The soldiers on both sides stopped him. ¡°It¡¯s curfew now. Without the mayor¡¯s orders, no one is allowed to enter and leave freely.¡± Seeing that there was no way to go out now, Chu Qi could only walk around the town. The shops on both sides of the street were tightly shut, which made Chu Qi feel that something was wrong. For a game world, it was quite normal for ordinary NPCs to close their doors and rest at night. It would be abnormal, however, if there were no players in a region. Moreover, this was the only way to get to Red Maple City from the newbie village. Chu Qi summoned three skeleton warriors and guarded his side as he slowly moved forward. He then returned to the place where the teleportation formation had appeared. The surrounding shops that had been open also closed their doors. The black house enveloped him from all sides and quickly covered Chu Qi. Ding! Hidden mission [Black Mist of Dry Leaf Town] has been activated. Dry Leaf Town¡¯s Black Mist Mission Description: Block 30 waves of unknown enemies. Reward: Unknown His vision was completely blocked, and sounds of air being torn apart could be heard coming from the black room. Countless arrows hit Chu Qi, but they could only cause extremely low damage. 870 900 939 The black house surged as a short beastman with a wolf head appeared with a bow. This was a Gnoll crossbowman from the Gnoll tribe. [Gnoll Bowman] Level: 10 Health: 12,000 Damage: 1000 Technique: Precision Precision: The bow and arrow have armor-piercing effects. It can shatter 12 Defense Points (Cannot be stacked). Chu Qi looked at the dozen or so Gnoll archers around him and summoned two skeleton archers. -6302 -6340 -6666 Under the effect of the shockwave, the surrounding Gnoll archers were quickly defeated, turning into a gray fog that melted into the environment. Ding! The second wave of enemies has arrived. There were fewer monsters this time, only five Gnoll Warriors. The huge meteor hammer was waved, and the skeleton warrior in front of him shattered after just one hit. Chu Qi¡¯s eyes focused, and he quickly checked the attributes of the Gnoll Warriors. [Gnoll Warrior] Level: 10 Health: 20000 Damage: 1200 Skill: Shattering [Shattering] Skill Description: It can shatter any fragile item. The attributes of the Gnoll Warriors were not much higher than that of the archers, but they were the natural counters of the Skeleton Summoners. After Chu Qi lost his summoned beast, he could only attack by himself. His rotating footsteps constantly changed positions among the five Gnoll warriors. The staff in his hand did not stop either. Normal attacks with the effects of [Black Lightning] continuously hit the Gnoll Warrior, and from time to time, he would also execute a few skills. After spending some effort, the gnolls in the field were completely wiped out, and the second wave of attacks was successfully blocked. ¡°Ding! The third wave of enemies has arrived!¡± ¡­ ¡°Ding! The thirtieth wave of enemies has arrived!¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The 29 waves of enemies in front of him brought Chu Qi nearly 100 attribute points and three new skills: [Shattering], [Precision], and [Thick Skin]. [Thick Skin] Skill Description: Can block 320 points of damage. The skill wasn¡¯t very strong, but it was better than nothing. The black mist surged again and gradually contracted, turning into a huge monster without a physical body. This was the last wave of enemies. Mist Demon (Bronze) Level: 15 Health: 600,000 Damage: 4000 Technique: Illusion, Dream Claw, Corrosive Gas, Berserk [Illusion]: Immune to all physical damage.. As soon as he appeared, the skeleton archer shot out three arrows. -3004 ¨C ¨C 3210 -2981 After being immune to physical damage, his summoned creature suffered half the damage. And with the help of the [Dream Claw], the damage of the Mist Demon could take away half of Chu Qi¡¯s health every time it attacked. Dream Claw Skill Description: 100% of the attack damage is converted to true damage. Chu Qi continuously dodged and retreated under the attack of the Mist Demon. The attack range of the Mist Demon was huge, and it was extremely difficult to dodge. With just two claw attacks, it directly shattered Chu Qi¡¯s skeleton warrior. Chu Qi had never encountered such an enemy before. He was momentarily overwhelmed. He could only rely on his many years of gaming experience to stay alive and reduce the HP of the Mist Demon. -2849 3120 -2000 (Bleeding) The Mist Demon was continuously harassed by Chu Qi and quickly couldn¡¯t take it anymore. The fog in its body spread out. The surrounding buildings were being melted by the mist. This was the [Corrosive Gas]! The moment the mist touched Chu Qi, it crawled all over his body like a bug. 3000 3000 3000 The continuous damage forced Chu Qi into a dangerous situation. Chu Qi immediately activated [Vanishing Step]. His body shape became transparent, and his speed increased by a lot. Chu Qi retreated while drinking two bottles of potions. His blood line recovered to health value. However, the mist on his body didn¡¯t fall off. It was still corroding Chu Qi. Chu Qi didn¡¯t have time to continue attacking. He summoned the skeleton warriors again to block the attacks of the Mist Demon while he continued to drink medicine at the side. The corrosive gas lasted for 30 seconds before it ended. At this time, there was no more medicine in Chu Qi¡¯s bag. In other words, if he was touched by this mist again, he would be corroded to death. Chu Qi¡¯s concentration was stretched to the limit. He was incomparably serious as he moved every time to dodge. The HP of the Mist Demon gradually decreased under Chu Qi¡¯s constant control. 450,000! 300,000! 100,000! 50,000¡­ ¡± Seeing that his HP was decreasing, the Mist Demon let out a low and hoarse roar. Gnolls kept crawling out of the fog around him to harass Chu Qi. The HP of the Mist Demon also began to recover continuously. In just a while, it had already recovered almost 5% of its HP. Chu Qi realized that he couldn¡¯t let the demon have time to rest. He raised his hand and a dark mark hit the demons¡¯ faces. The Mist Demon that had its recovery interrupted let out an angry roar, and its red eyes stared fixedly at Chu Qi. The fast and fierce claw attack instantly approached Chu Qi¡¯s face. The huge wind pressure forced Chu Qi to keep his eyes shut as his body flew backwards and slammed into the wall of the house. Chu Qi¡¯s health points instantly fell to zero, and he fell to the ground without making a sound. Seeing that the human was already dead, the Mist Demon removed his berserk state and fell into a weakened state. At this moment, the black mark carried six bows and attacked, hitting the demon¡¯s back. In its weakened state, its defense was extremely low, and its already low HP fell to rock bottom. Chu Qi, who was originally dead, recovered his full strength under the effect of the passive skill [Revival] that had a cooldown of 1 day. Taking advantage of the weakness of the Mist Demon, he attacked. The Mist Demon cried out indignantly before dissipating into the world. The surrounding fog was no longer thick, but gradually thinned. The town revealed its original appearance. There were still very few people on the street, but it was no longer empty. There were also some fireworks in the shops by the road. Without exception, the surrounding people did not seem to know that a soul-stirring battle had just happened here. They continued to live their own lives. It was like Chu Qi had a dream. Ding! ¡°After completing the hidden mission [Black Mist of Dry Leaf Town], you have received 28000 experience points, 500 gold coins, and [Dream Key]¡± [Dream Key] Special Item Item Description: Can open the Dream Gate. Coupled with this [Dream Key], Chu Qi¡¯s backpack now had two different special items. He didn¡¯t know what they were for. Chu Qi could only put it in his bag and prepare to gradually investigate. Looking at the town that had returned to normal, Chu Qi was not in a hurry to go straight to Red Maple City. Instead, he went to the mayor¡¯s house. ¡°Foreigner, what¡¯s the matter?¡± A middle-aged man exuded a powerful oppressive aura. He held a bright silver red embellished spear in his hand and was dressed in white dragon scales. He looked at Chu Qi who had broken into his house and asked with a slight change in expression. Ordinary players would usually run away when they encountered such a situation, but Chu Qi was very calm. In his previous life, he had once done an escort mission, but at the end of the mission, the person he escorted became the final Boss of the mission. That experience let Chu Qi know that NPCs could also throw themselves into the darkness and become Bosses. Therefore, when he faced the mayor this time, Chu Qi wasn¡¯t frightened at all. His many years of gaming experience told him that there was something wrong with this mayor. It was the truth. Just as he entered, a notification sound appeared beside Chu Qi¡¯s ear. ¡°Two-person mission [Investigation] has been triggered. Reward: Gold weapon x1.¡± ¡°Do you accept the mission?¡± ¡°Accepted.¡± Chu Qi calmly accepted the mission and then apologized before leaving. Now was not the time to fall out with each other. Chu Qi came to the door and sent an email to his only friend, Wind Whisper. ¡°Come to Dry Leaf Town quickly. It¡¯s a Gold-level two-person party mission. I¡¯ll carry you.¡± In less than two minutes, Wind Whisper replied, ¡°F*ck, thank you, Great God Falling Dust. I sent the strongest person in our guild. I¡¯m stuck with the Class Advancement mission and can¡¯t go for the time being.¡± Chu Qi did not say anything and just waited quietly. Five minutes later, a light shone from the teleportation station and a cold-looking older sister appeared in the array formation. Dressed in an assassin¡¯s suit, she had more than ten short swords and darts on her. There were also two poisonous daggers at her waist. The cold and arrogant girl looked around, as if looking for someone. The moment she saw Chu Qi, she walked straight towards him. Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°You¡¯re Falling Dust? I¡¯m Fei Yan, introduced here by Wind Whisper.¡± ¡°I¡¯m a level 10 Assassin and have yet to complete a specialized mission.¡± ¡­ After listening to all the self-introductions, Chu Qi added her to the team. After sharing the mission, he began to investigate. The two of them arrived outside the mayor¡¯s house. Chu Qi told Fei Yan to stop. ¡°Stay here and keep watch. If anyone comes, send me a message.¡± Fei Yan¡¯s eyes revealed confusion, and she hurriedly pulled Chu Qi, who was about to enter. ¡°You¡¯re a Summoner. How are you going to find out about this? I¡¯m an Assassin. I have the ability to silence my steps, let me go.¡± Chu Qi didn¡¯t explain too much. He only shared the effects of Vanishing Step with her. Then, he turned and entered the mayor¡¯s house. Only Fei Yan was left behind in shock. Half an hour ago, the mayor, who was in the living room, had disappeared. The place was empty, and only the lights were lit. When Chu Qi was guarding outside, he didn¡¯t see him go out, so there must be a secret room or a secret passage to the outside in the mayor¡¯s house. Chu Qi moved slowly, trying his best not to make any sound. The mayor¡¯s house was not very big. There were only two or three rooms. Chu Qi came to the study room. The words on the wall attracted his attention. There was a red circle drawn around the words¡¯ Window ¡®. Chu Qi came to the window. Through the window, he was facing the teleportation formation. Suddenly, a strange sound came from under the table. Chu Qi hurriedly held his breath and went to a corner. At this moment, the effects of Chu Qi¡¯s Vanishing Step had already ended. The cooldown was still 20 seconds. The table in the study moved outwards, revealing the secret door below. The secret door opened and a pair of dry hands stretched out. Then, the entire body came into the study. Chu Qi saw that the cooldown time for Vanishing Step was up, so he used it again. Chu Qi slowly moved to the door of the study. The face of that withered person was the mayor¡¯s! Chu Qi checked the mayor¡¯s attributes. [Andoine Weasley (Soul-sucking Ghost)] Level: 20 Health:? Power:? Skills:? There was a difference of levels between them as high as ten levels, so Chu Qi could only see his name and his current state. Andoine seemed to sense Chu Qi¡¯s investigation and looked over. The empty place made him look around in confusion. Chu Qi also left the study. Ding! [Investigation] Stage one completed, reward: 5000 experience points. ¡°Ding! Stage two mission: [Eliminate evil for the people] has been unlocked.¡± [Eliminate evil for the people] Mission Description: Destroy or save the Soul-sucking Ghost. To the current Chu Qi, even if his attributes crushed players at the same level, it was still too difficult for enemies 10 levels higher than him. Chu Qi saw that the chance of winning was very slim, so he directly retreated. The moment he went out, the effect of the [Vanishing Step] disappeared. Outside the door, Fei Yan saw Chu Qi and hurriedly asked, ¡°How is it? Did you get anything?¡± The bird also received the notification for the second phase of the mission and hurriedly asked about the situation. Chu Qi wiped the sweat on his forehead and said what he saw. ¡°Soul-sucking Ghost? What kind of creature is that? It¡¯s actually a level 20 one. No wonder we only needed to investigate.¡± Seeing that there was no other way, Chu Qi went to the hotel and got two rooms. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the cathedral tomorrow to understand the news. It¡¯s already so late today, and I can¡¯t find any clues.¡± Lying on the bed in the inn, Chu Qi began to recall the memories of his previous life. In his memory, there was a thread that specialized in talking about Soul-sucking Ghosts. Soul-sucking Ghost Monster Description: Typically, it¡¯s a monster near the Door to Hell. It can transform creatures weaker than itself into Soul-sucking Ghosts. In the dark, they could use their full strength, but they would also reveal their true colors. During the day, the Soul-sucking Ghost only had 50% of its original attributes and could transform into a human. ¡­ Thinking back to everything, Chu Qi felt glad for his choice. If he had just made a move, he would probably have been destroyed until not even scraps were left. He would only have the strength to fight when he had the chance in the daytime. After having a plan in his heart, Chu Qi began to sleep. ¡­ In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight hit the roof, Chu Qi woke up. He called Fei Yan and went to the church. Even though most of the shops were not open yet, the streets were still empty. However, there were already many people gathered in the church. ¡°Honorable Father, I encountered a Soul-sucking Ghost. My strength is not enough to defeat him. I hope to receive help.¡± After finding the priest in the crowd, Chu Qi asked a question. When the priest heard Chu Qi¡¯s words, his originally sincere face suddenly became serious. After chasing away the surrounding people, Chu Qi and Fei Yan arrived at a small room. ¡°Soul-sucking Ghost? This demon will bring about a huge disaster if he stays in this town. Where did you guys encounter him?¡± ¡°At the mayor¡¯s house.¡± ¡°This is impossible! The mayor is the strongest person in the town. How could he have become a Soul-sucking Ghost?!¡± Chu Qi¡¯s words had just been said when he was strongly disagreed by the priest. ¡°What if it really did happen?¡± Chu Qi¡¯s following words made the priest lose his composure. ¡°This¡­ This¡­ If the mayor is a Soul-sucking Ghost, how can the three of us defeat him?¡± The priest had already shown signs of fear. Chu Qi knew that he wouldn¡¯t help him face the Soul-sucking Ghost. ¡°My teammates and I are enough. I just want you to tell us where the mayor will often appear in the daytime.¡± The priest hesitated for a while before finally telling Chu Qi about the three locations. Then, he took out a cross from a nearby cabinet. ¡°This cross was left behind by a missionary. When he says there are demons he can¡¯t deal with, this cross will help you.¡± With that, the priest walked out and led the believers to leave after praying. Chu Qi looked at the cross, and his attributes appeared in front of his eyes. [Missionary¡¯s Cross] Mission Items Item Description: When the devil is weak, insert it into its body and it can directly seal the devil. With the cross in hand, Chu Qi came to the training ground in the forest. As expected, the mayor was here. Without saying a word, Chu Qi summoned the skeleton warriors and the skeleton archers. A dark mark hit the defenseless mayor. 8000 The mayor was awakened by the attack and looked at the person. ¡°It¡¯s you again! Looks like you already know. Then die here!¡± Andoine picked up the huge sword, stamped his feet, and jumped towards Chu Qi at an extremely fast speed. Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chu Qi rolled and dodged this attack. The skeleton warriors around him also surrounded Andoine. -3089 3789 -2987 ¨C -4000 (Bleeding) After one round of attacks, although he could not see how much Andoine¡¯s health bar was, it was obvious that his health bar was a little shorter. Andoine waved the large sword in his hand and spun it, shattering the surrounding skeleton warriors. As a humanoid Boss, Andoine would not be limited to only using his skills when his HP reached a certain level. He had his own way of attacking. Fei Yan, who was at the side and had retracted her aura, remained completely still until the moment Andoine shattered the skeleton warriors. She suddenly rushed out, the two daggers in its hands emitting a green light. Backstab! 8000 -600 (Poisoned) She also seized the opportunity to use her strongest technique. Then, she hid to the side and threw out a few short swords to harass Andoine from time to time, waiting for the next opportunity. After the stun ended, Andoine was a little angry. He was actually being played by two level 10 people at level 20. The angry Andoine roared, and the ear-piercing sound stunned Chu Qi. The sword in his hand fiercely swung over, hitting Chu Qi. -9,846 Chu Qi¡¯s health bar was gone in an instant, leaving only a trace that barely maintained his life. [Vanishing Step]! Chu Qi quickly hid in the forest and drank his medicine. Andoine lost his target and continued to release sword energy towards his surroundings. It was about to affect Chu Qi. At this moment, Fei Yan that was originally in the forest stepped forward and relied on its agile body to restrain Andoine. After his health returned to full, Chu Qi joined the battlefield. The cooldown for summoning skeletons and Summoning Skeleton Archers finished. Chu Qi summoned all his skeletons. However, this time, Chu Qi didn¡¯t let them all surround him. Instead, he let the skeleton archers hide in the forest and continuously shoot arrows. -6,428 ¨C 6724 -6,139 The skeleton warriors took turns to tank Andoine¡¯s attacks one by one. Faced with this situation, Andoine threw away the heavy sword in his hand and drew his longsword. He raised his sword and decided to attack, his aura rising step by step. After charging for five seconds, a sword beam shot out from the sword in his hand. Chu Qi¡¯s summoned beasts were cleared out again, but Andoine was stunned again. 8000 -1,200 (Second Stage of Poison poisoning) 8000 -1,800 (Third level of poisoning) Fei Yan also ran out. After two back stabs, only a trace of Andoine¡¯s health was left. -40,000 (Stage 10 bleeding) Andoine¡¯s body suddenly began to spew blood, and the damage of 10 layers of blood took his life. Ding! Talent skill activated. All attributes received 1 point, Passive Skill [Jump Slash] [Jump Slash] Skill Description: The first attack from the summoned creature will land on the target, causing 50% increased damage. Seeing this technique, Chu Qi was very satisfied. Not only did it increase his damage, but it also greatly increased the agility of the summoned creature. Ding! Mission completed [Eliminate evil for the people]. Dry Leaf Town Reputation+500, EXP+23,000, [Warrior Medal] received. [Warrior Medal] Equipment Description: The symbol of courage, the symbol of strength! Health Points :+100 Defense :+1 Special Feature 1: All Damage+30% Special Feature 2: You can wear it directly without using the equipment column. Chu Qi immediately equipped it. Although the basic attributes of this equipment were ordinary, the two characteristics were very powerful. Fei Yan also received the same reward and was very happy. The two of them returned to the town. The previous priest had long disappeared. ¡°The mission is over. You¡¯re very useful. We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows it.¡± Seeing that there was no more follow-up, Chu Qi said to Fei Yan. After bidding farewell to Chu Qi, Fei Yan left the team and entered the teleportation formation to go elsewhere. After Chu Qi completed the mission, he walked towards Red Red Maple City. Suddenly, he remembered the Great Bandit Boss. He looked at his current coordinates: (1824, 981) It wasn¡¯t far. Chu Qi planned to first kill this Boss that he had to kill before going to Red Maple City. In the early morning, the City of Infinite Worlds was silent, but the gathering place of the monsters outside was filled with the shouts of players. ¡°Level 8 Mage here, Please carry me. You can use AOE spells!¡± ¡°A Warrior who wants to train, come to my party to level up.¡± ¡°The five-man team lacks milk for a mission!¡± As there were guards in the city who would throw noisy people out of the city, many players came to the monster gathering place to seek teams to level up. Chu Qi passed through the gathering place of these eighth rank monsters and ran all the way towards the place where the Great Bandit was. From the forest to the river, they finally arrived at a weed-filled plain. More than ten players were attacking a wild Boss, and that monster was the Great Bandit. It had already lost nearly one-third of its HP. Chu Qi ignored the others and directly summoned three skeleton warriors and two skeleton archers. First, a Dark Mark accurately hit the Great Bandit. ¨C 6549 -4000 (Bleeding) The powerful damage attracted the aggro of the Great Bandit. He directly ignored the surrounding players and ran towards Chu Qi. Chu Qi¡¯s three skeleton warriors directly jumped and struck the face of the great Bandit. -4390 4498 -4,184 ¨C The attributes of the skeleton warriors had also improved greatly. Each attack could take away 2% of the [Great Bandit] ¡®s HP. The three consecutive arrows from the skeleton archer beside him also hit the Great Bandit. The Great Bandit raised the shovel in his hand and leaped high into the air, smashing it towards Chu Qi. [Vanishing Step]! Chu Qi¡¯s body became transparent, and he dodged this attack. As for the Great Bandit, because it couldn¡¯t find Chu Qi¡¯s figure, it once again locked its aggro on the skeleton warrior. -40,000 (Stage 10 bleeding) The powerful bleeding took away half of the Boss¡¯s HP. At this moment, the Great Bandit only had less than 100,000 HP left. Chu Qi would be able to kill it in less than a minute. The surrounding players couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and surrounded the Boss, wanting to take its final attack. But how could Chu Qi let them succeed? He directly ordered the skeleton warriors to stop attacking. The Great Bandit no longer had an aggro target and turned to attack the surrounding players. He waved the shovel and dove into the ground, causing the ground to tremble. One by one, the players were pulled into the ground and transformed into their souls, dying. Caught off guard, half the players were gone. Chu Qi didn¡¯t stay idle either. The merciless reaper killed everyone else present. With the enhancement of his powerful attributes, he could kill a player with just one attack. ¡°Falling Dust! Don¡¯t go too far. You stole the Boss and killed our people!¡± A player named ¡°Dark Fire¡± gritted his teeth and blamed Chu Qi for what he had done. ¡°You expect me to ignore a wild Boss and watch you guys fight it out? How childish.¡± Chu Qi didn¡¯t take him seriously at all. He glared at him, and the player instantly fell silent. After all, his single output could reach 6,000 points. This was not something the current players could handle. -6,485 6750 -40,000 (Stage 10 bleeding) 6501 Under the high damage output of the skeleton warrior, this powerful Boss, the Great Bandit, quickly turned into a pile of light fragments that dissipated between heaven and earth. Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ding! Talent skill activated. All attributes received 1 point, passive skill [Marauder] obtained. Marauders Skill Description: Attack has a chance to steal an item from the target. Chu Qi picked up the equipment. Ding! Obtained 40,000 EXP, 4,500 gold coins, [Apprentice Ring], [Undead Lord¡¯s Scepter (Quest Item)], [Treasure Basin], x1 Random Skill treasure chest¡­ Ding! Mission completed [Damn Thief]. Mission reward: 100,000 EXP, Class Level+1, Free Attribute Points: 10, Talent Skill: [Summoning Skeleton Warrior] leveled up to the Iron Stage, Number of summoned creatures+1. Chu Qi wasn¡¯t in a hurry to check. Instead, he left his original spot and walked into the forest to search for the equipment he had obtained. [Apprentice Ring (Bronze)] Intelligence :+50 Magic Attack: 2800 Special Feature 1: Magic Penetration+5 Special Feature 2: Skill Cooldown+15% Magic Penetration! Whether it was in his previous life or this life, this was the first time Chu Qi had obtained equipment with a penetrative attribute. He had only seen such equipment on the forums before. Not to mention that he had also brought along an attribute that decreased the CD of his skills. In Infinite Worlds, defense was equivalent to magic defense. 5 Magic Penetration was equivalent to ignoring 5 defense points! At this stage, besides Chu Qi, the highest defense the other players had was less than 80 points. This attribute was equivalent to ignoring 15% of their defense. Whether it was PvE or PvP, they both greatly increased Chu Qi¡¯s output ability. Looking at the new technique he had just obtained, Chu Qi held his breath again. Death Soul Curse (Bronze Stage) Skill Description: Throw out a Magic Ball. If it fails to kill an enemy, it will split into another Magic Ball. (Up to 20) The damage dealt by each Magic Ball was 0.5x. Consumption: 1000 magic points. Cooldown: 5 minutes. Now, other than the [Dark Mark], Chu Qi¡¯s direct attack method had another [Death Soul Curse]. After allocating the free attribute points, Chu Qi opened his interface. At this time, Chu Qi¡¯s attributes had also changed. ID: Falling Dust Level: 10 Occupation: Undead Lord (Second Stage) Health: 13,650 Mana: 10050 Magic Attack: 10,440 Strength: 520, Agility: 520, Intelligence: 683, Constitution: 520 Defense: 380 Critical Hit Chance: 10% Talent: [Soul Reaper (Unique)] Technique: [Summoning Skeleton Warrior (Iron)] [Summoning Skeleton Archer (Bronze)] [Dark Mark] Death Soul Curse (Bronze) Summoning Strength: 180% Experience Points: 20,000 / 128 If Chu Qi was allowed to challenge the ¡°Undead Cave¡± dungeon at this time, he was confident that he could clear it within 15 minutes. Chu Qi tidied up his equipment and drove towards Red Red Maple City. A majestic city gate appeared in the distance, and there were no monsters in the surrounding open space. All the surrounding monsters had been wiped out by the city guards. Chu Qi walked into the city gate. Besides the NPCs, there were only a few players on the street. Most of the players had yet to reach the main city. Chu Qi remembered that there was a dungeon in this main city, but it was a level 15 one. The current Chu Qi could barely clear it alone. Therefore, Chu Qi and Chu Qi entered a magnificent building. The plaque outside had the words ¡°Mercenary Guild¡± written on it. Chu Qi came to the front row. After creating a mercenary group, he came to the mission panel. A mission caught his attention. [Hunting the Fire Wolf Lizard] Mission Requirement: Deliver the head of the Fire Wolf Lizard. Reward: 50,000 experience points, 1,000 gold coins. Chu Qi looked at the generous reward and immediately accepted this mission. The mission map also appeared in Chu Qi¡¯s perspective. A huge red dot was constantly moving in the lava ground. That was the trail of the Fire Wolf Lizard. Chu Qi walked out of the Mercenary Guild. After replenishing his blood medicine in the city, he headed towards the lava. The map of the main city was between two mountain ranges. Below was an ice field covered in ice, and above was the Land of Lava. They followed the trail outside the city. Not long after, a red land appeared in front of Chu Qi. ¡®Ding! Arrived at the land of lava, gained 100 experience points. With an empty field of vision, Chu Qi immediately discovered the Fire Wolf Lizard. Although it was called a Fire Wolf Lizard, its appearance was only that of a bloated lizard. It was not the combination of a wolf and a lizard as imagined. Around this lizard were many turtles with fire on their shells. This was a permanent monster in the Land of Lava [Lava Turtle]. [Lava Turtle] Level: 12 Health: 20000 Damage: 4000 Technique: Fire Resistance, Flame Protection [Flame Protection] Skill Description: Burning flames will constantly burn the surrounding enemies. Death Soul Curse A black magic ball flew out from Chu Qi¡¯s weapon and hit the nearest lava turtle. Then, it split into a second one. 18000 Not long after, all the lava turtles, including the Fire Wolf Lizards, were attracted by the aggro and ran towards Chu Qi. Chu Qi once again harvested the lava turtle in front of him, and then gave the Fire Wolf Lizard a dark mark. Ding! Talent skill activated. You have received 12 attribute points for all attributes and the passive skill [Fire Resistance]. [Fire resistant] Skill Description: Immune to 50% Fire-type damage The Fire Wolf Lizard was already in front of him. Chu Qi also saw its attributes. [Fire Wolf Lizard (Iron Stage)] Level: 14 Health Points: 500,000 Damage: 10,000 Skills: Fire Spray, Howl Chu Qi summoned his skeleton warriors and skeleton archers. The four skeleton warriors surrounded the Fire Wolf Lizard with a single jump and slash. 12000 12698 11935 13010 -9000 (Bleeding) When Chu Qi reached the second stage, his summoned creatures had also been greatly enhanced. With just four jumps and a Bleeding Damage, the Fire Wolf Lizard had already lost one-tenth of its HP. The skeleton archer beside Chu Qi didn¡¯t want to be outdone either. He shot out two consecutive arrows. 20000 20000 ¡­ After a round of attacks, the Fire Wolf Lizard only had less than half its HP left. The lizard stopped attacking the skeleton warrior and raised its head to roar. The surrounding skeleton warriors and skeleton archers were all interrupted from their first attack. Chu Qi discovered that all the summoned creatures had an additional -20% attack power. Immediately after, the flames around the Fire Wolf Lizard retracted back into its body and spat out from its mouth. But to Chu Qi, who had just obtained a fire-resistant technique, this attack didn¡¯t even need to force him to use potions. He summoned four more skeleton warriors and attacked. 12000 12000 ¡­ The Fire Wolf Lizard roared and turned into a ball of light powder. Only four or five balls of light were left on the ground. Ding! Talent skill activated. All stat points obtained: 1. Passive skill [Howl] [Howl] Skill Description: Enemies nearby will have 20% reduced attack power. Ding! Congratulations on leveling up to level 11. You have received 3 free stat points. Chu Qi picked up the fallen object on the ground. As expected, the head of the Fire Wolf Lizard was also inside. At the same time, an iron wrist guard with better attributes lit up Chu Qi¡¯s eyes. [Flame Wristguard] Intelligence :+20 Defense :+30 A wrist guard that added intelligence. Chu Qi happened to have an empty seat, so he directly equipped it. ¡­ When Chu Qi was fighting the monsters just now, he realized that although he could complete the mission in his own area, his level could no longer keep up. And a Lava Turtle could provide 2000 experience points. Therefore, Chu Qi planned to increase his level here so that it would be easier for him to dungeon later. Chu Qi controlled his skeleton warriors and coordinated with the skeleton archers, constantly reaping the lives of the surrounding lava turtles. Even a Lava Turtle with 20,000 HP could only withstand two attacks from the skeleton warrior. Not long after, all the monsters around the Land of Lava had been cleared, and there wouldn¡¯t be any more monsters spawning anytime soon. Chapter 20 - Poisonous sewer! Experience Points :+2000 Experience Points :+2000 ¡­ In just 10 minutes, Chu Qi obtained more than 30,000 experience points. Chu Qi checked his experience bar while commanding his skeleton warriors. 90000/128000 At this speed, in half a day, Chu Qi could reach level 15. It had to be said that with Chu Qi¡¯s high attributes, the efficiency of fighting monsters like this was indeed very high. But at the same time, it was very boring¡­ Chu Qi multitasked and opened the forum in the game to check the recent news. . In the forum, the craze for ¡°Undead Cave¡± had long passed, and many guilds had already cleared the dungeon. The clearance time that Chu Qi took down at the beginning was also broken. On the main page of the forum, there were promotion mission guidelines everywhere. Although everyone¡¯s missions were different, the missions of people of the same job were similar. At this moment, the most popular promotion strategy had more than 100,000 replies. Among them, some had successfully completed their missions and headed to the main city, while others continued to fail and challenge the city again and again. ¡­ In the world of Infinite Worlds, the sun gradually bordered the horizon, and the darkness continued to approach. The land of lava that was originally filled with lava turtles became empty. A few lava turtles were still surrounded and attacked by four skeletons. Chu Qi was already level 14 when he got here. He was only a step away from level 15. Experience Points :+2000 After destroying the Lava Turtle in his hand, Chu Qi stopped his attack. Looking at his own experience points, 340k/429k As long as he completed the mission, Chu Qi would be able to reach level 15 and learn his second talent skill. ¡­ In the Infinite Worlds, players could learn a new talent skill at every stage. Level 15 was the dividing line for the first stage. Before level 15, the players could only be considered to be at the Iron Stage, and only after level 15 did they reach the Silver Stage. Therefore, in the previous dungeons, Chu Qi could still challenge people stronger than him. However, the difficulty of the level 15 dungeons had increased exponentially. ¡­ When he entered the mission hall again, there were already many players there. Chu Qi walked to the front desk and took out the head of the Fire Wolf Lizard. ¡°I want to submit the mission!¡± The loud sound of the head hitting the table made everyone look over. ¡°Damn, there¡¯s a godly person!¡± ¡°This is a Fire Wolf Lizard, right? I saw that the mission suggested five people for it, but he completed it alone!¡± Discussions broke out. ¡°Congratulations on completing the mission [Hunting Fire Wolf Lizard]. You are rewarded with 500,000 experience points and 1,000 gold coins.¡± Chu Qi submitted the mission and leveled up to level 15. ¡°Congratulations on reaching level 15. The number of summons has increased by 1. You have obtained the talent skill [Summoning Nether Wolf].¡± Summoning Nether Wolf Skill Description: Summon three Nether Wolves of the same level as the player to help in the battle. The various attributes of the Nether Wolves are affected by the player¡¯s intelligence. Mana Cost: 500. Cooldown: 5 minutes Walking out of the mission hall, Chu Qi came to the sewers in the city. A dilapidated iron door was in front of him, and there was a person covered in rags beside it. Ding! Red Maple City Announcement: Player [Falling Dust] has triggered a hidden stage, and the solo dungeon [Poisonous sewer] has been activated. Chu Qi opened the metal door and walked in. The staff in his hand flickered. With the enhancement of his equipment and talent, five dark blue ghost wolves appeared in front of Chu Qi. [Nether Wolf] Level: 15 Health: 5000 Attack Power: 8000 Technique: Fatal Strike [Fatal Strike] Skill Description: 10% chance to deal 5 times the damage. Cooldown: 10 seconds. The nether wolf¡¯s HP was very low, and the combined HP of the five wolves was only comparable to one of the skeleton warriors. However, their attack power was twice that of the skeleton archers. [Poisonous sewer] was a small solo dungeon in the city. The leader was a Plague Mage. The moment Chu Qi entered the dungeon, he saw a narrow tunnel that led in all directions. The water on the ground was green and constantly bubbling. All kinds of disgusting creatures were floating in the water¡­ No wonder this dungeon was so unpopular in his previous life. Ordinary people would not be able to handle this¡­ On the walkway, a few mice the size of puppies were patrolling aimlessly. As they walked, they ate the rotten flesh on the ground. [Rat in the sewers] Level: 15 Health: 35,000 Damage: 2,600 Technique: Poison, Lunge A level 15 ordinary monster had two skills that allowed him to poison and jump towards the enemy. With the two abilities augmenting each other, ordinary players would not be able to resist. ¡­ Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! -4,200! -4,450! -4,198! In less than half a second, the skeleton archer shot three arrows in a row, killing the mutated rat leader cleanly. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Then, the skeleton archer shot another dozen or so arrows, triggering the effect of [Shockwave], killing all the five or six mice that had gathered together. The entire process took less than two to three seconds. Ding! Talent skill activated. All stat points obtained: 1. Passive skill [Poison] obtained. Poison (1 / 10) Skill Description: Attack contains poison, causing 5 armor-piercing effects. Duration: 10 seconds Each attack could shatter the enemy¡¯s 5-point armor, although it did not look like much now. However, this skill was only level one. When it reached level 10, a casual attack from it would reduce 50 armor points. Most of the players didn¡¯t even have 300 pieces of armor now. Chu Qi basically ignored one-sixth of the armor. ¡­ The entire poisonous sewer was filled with poisonous gas. As long as players were inside, they would constantly lose blood. Chu Qi couldn¡¯t care less. He directly brought his skeleton warriors and the nether wolf and ran over. The rats scattered in the tunnel quickly sensed the intruders and pounced towards Chu Qi. But most of them were killed by the skeleton archers in the air. Relying on his [Bloodthirsty] technique, Chu Qi¡¯s health had always been at its peak. His new [Poison] skill had also reached the maximum level. Along the way, there was no need for him to replenish his energy as he kept pulling monsters to fight. Chu Qi¡¯s speed was very fast. In a while, he arrived in front of the first Boss. Chu Qi also looked at the huge rat in front of him that was blocking the sewer. [Mutated Source of Plague] Level: 15 Health: 800,000 Damage: 5,200 Technique: Plague, Spitting Poison Mist, Mice The Mutated Source of Plague was not very powerful, but the poisonous fog brought by the plague skill made many players unable to attack. However, Chu Qi was not worried. The skeleton warriors swarmed forward and firmly surrounded the mutated source of plague. 6039 -6,328 ¨C 5981 As the nether wolf was relatively weak, it continued to search for opportunities to attack before fleeing. 8000 8206 [Fatal Strike] Chu Qi was very lucky to have the effect of a fatal strike just when he started attacking. The health of the Mutated Source of Plague decreased by 10%. ¡°Squeak squeak squeak ~¡± Countless cries suddenly sounded from all directions. The Mutated Source of Plague had used its skill [Rat Swarm]. The rats surged forward like a tide. Chu Qi did not panic at all. With a [Death Soul Curse] combined with the shockwave, all the rats that had just come out turned into light powder. After solving this small problem, Chu Qi continued to command the skeletons and the nether wolf to attack. The Boss¡¯s HP continued to decrease until it was 20%. Chapter 21 The poisonous mist around the mutated source of plague was sucked into its stomach and then spewed forward. There was already a green poisonous fog in the sewers. After being enhanced by the Mutated Source of Plague, it went from green to purple. The poisonous fog also had corrosive properties, constantly wearing down Chu Qi¡¯s health. Fortunately, the attack from his summoned beast was powerful enough. The health that had just fallen returned in two seconds. Chu Qi¡¯s skeleton warriors were still attacking methodically. The shrill screams of the mutated source of plague echoed in the sewers. With a flash of golden light, three pieces of equipment appeared on the ground. . Ding! Talent skill activated. You have received 1 attribute point for all attributes. You have received the passive skill [Rat Swarm]. [Rat Swarm] Skill Description: With every summoned creature present, the attack power of all summoned creatures will increase by 5%. Chu Qi was very satisfied with this technique. He could now summon a total of 11 summoned creatures, and this was not including the passive Holy Beetle. Immediately after, Chu Qi looked at the equipment that had fallen to the ground. Plague Armor Chest Armor Level Requirement: 15 Health Points :+3000 Defense :+80 Special Feature: Poison Resistance+30% One of the Set pieces [Heart of the Source of Plague] Consumption Effect: Immune to any toxin damage for 5 minutes [Orb of Corrosion] Accessories Level Requirement: 15 Intelligence :+40 Mana :+1000 Special Feature 1: Increases 30 Fixed Magic Penetration Coincidentally, the accessory slots in Chu Qi¡¯s equipment were still empty, so he directly equipped them. As they continued forward, the sewers began to expand, and the poisonous gas in the air gradually dissipated. ¡°Looks like the poisonous gas from before was emitted by that big rat. After it died, there would be no more poisonous gas.¡± From afar, Chu Qi saw some artifacts that only humans would use constantly appearing in front of him. A door appeared on the wall beside him. He opened the door and walked in, revealing an open space. The final Boss, Plague Mage, appeared in the room. [Plague Mage (Silver Overlord)] Level: 15 Health Points: 1.2 million Attack Power: 8000 Technique: Death Pulse, Death Hunt, Decline Halo, Death Scythe A Boss with four skills could be said to be very powerful. Chu Qi waved his hand, and the skeleton warriors beside him jumped and attacked. But before the Boss could attack, the skeleton warrior¡¯s HP began to decrease. This was the Decline Halo! If it were any other Summoner, they would have given up hope when faced with this skill. However, Chu Qi¡¯s [Bloodthirsty] once again displayed the power it should have. Its powerful blood-sucking ability was on par with the damage of the Decline Halo, and the health of the skeleton warriors did not change. 6541 -6354 ¨C 6665 -40000 (Bleeding Level 10) A series of damage values floated out from the Plague Mage¡¯s body. His HP continued to decrease, and it quickly fell to less than 500,000. The Plague Mage spread his arms, and a powerful shockwave spread out in all directions. The surrounding summoned creatures were all sent flying, and the bows and arrows of the skeleton archers were also sent flying. Death Pulse! Death Hunt! Without waiting for Chu Qi¡¯s reaction, a scarlet mark appeared on his head. Small holes were opened on the surrounding walls, and a large number of mutated rats kept coming out. ¡°Heh, what a cheap trick.¡± Chu Qi sneered. The Death Soul Curse followed like a shadow as it hit these rats. Just like when they were facing the rats from before, this wave of rats also disappeared completely. He summoned the nether wolves and skeletons again to surround the Plague Mage, and the damage was displayed. 8000 6344 -7342 ¨C The Plague Mage was enraged by these skeletons that came back after they were killed, and a sharp roar came out of his mouth. The Plague Mage once again used the Death Pulse to repel the enemies around him, but did not continue to use Death Hunt like last time. A huge sickle phantom appeared behind him, and the surrounding air was stirred by an unknown airflow. Two seconds later, the illusory figure behind the Plague Mage solidified, and the illusory figure completely transformed into a true dark green sickle made of magical elements. The sickle raised its head. First, a strong gust of wind attacked, followed by the sharp edge of the sickle. Chu Qi hurriedly jumped back. The edge of the sword hit the ground, sending rocks flying everywhere like bullets. 500 500 500 Just the rocks that were shaken up had such high damage. He could only imagine the consequences of this sickle hitting his body. Chu Qi dodged this attack and really planned to summon more skeletons to attack the Plague Mage. But what Chu Qi didn¡¯t expect was that the sickle didn¡¯t disappear after being used like other techniques. Instead, another attack came again. The Plague Mage¡¯s body twisted at a strange angle, and he kept waving two sickles that were his size. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! In the entire two minutes, he had waved the sickle more than thirty times. Chu Qi relied on his technique to forcefully dodge all of them. Just as the sickle was about to disappear for the last time, Chu Qi seized the opportunity and released all his techniques. 6038 3776 -8,766¡­ ¡°No! My experiment¡­ isn¡¯t done yet.¡± The Plague Mage died directly under the focus fire of Chu Qi and the summoned creatures. Ding! Talent skill activated. Obtained 1 all-attribute point. Obtained Passive skill [Death Pulse] [Death Pulse] Skill Description: When the summoned creature dies, it will release a pulse that will cause 2x damage to its magic attack. Ding! Full-service announcement: Congratulations to the players of Red Maple City, [Falling Dust], for successfully killing the Boss, the Plague Mage. You have successfully obtained the first clear of the single Red Maple City dungeon [Poisonous Sewer]. ¡± ¡°Ding! Announcement: Congratulations [Falling Dust] for obtaining the first clear reward, Silver Skill Treasure Chest x1.¡± Ding! ¡­ The announcement rang three times in a row. All the players were shocked by Chu Qi again. Chu Qi¡¯s progress had already far surpassed theirs. In Red Maple City, the people from Tyrant Guild had just entered the dungeon and were currently attacking the first Boss with difficulty. The guild leader and the officers were watching the entire process through the LED monitor in the hall¡­ When they saw the elite team members successfully survive the Boss [Mutated Source of Plague] after an hour of fighting, the hall was filled with cheers¡­ According to their knowledge, this was the first time someone had killed the Boss [Mutated Source of Plague]. ¡°Beautiful! We¡¯ll definitely get the first clear this time!¡± Everyone was very excited. However, at this moment, a prompt sounded in their ears¡­ Ding! Full-service announcement: Congratulations to the players of Red Maple City, [Falling Dust], for successfully killing the Boss, the Plague Mage. You have successfully obtained the first clear of the single Red Maple City dungeon [Poisonous Sewer]. ¡± ¡°Ding! Announcement: Congratulations [Falling Dust] for obtaining the first clear reward, Silver Skill Treasure Chest x1.¡± Ding! Ding! The sudden voice made the hall fall silent. ¡°F*ck! Where did this Falling Dust come from? How did he get the first kill again!¡± The Guild Master of Tyrant Guild quickly ordered people to investigate this Falling Dust. ¡­ Opening his backpack, Chu Qi used the Silver Skill Treasure Chest. Ding! Obtained skill [Flash (Silver)]. Flash (Silver) Skill Description: The character can flash twice in 10 seconds, and each time, the maximum flash is 100 yards. After each flash, the character will have a Critical Hit buff for 2 seconds, gaining 100% Physical Attack and Magic Attack. Consumption: 50 magic points. Cooldown: 5 minutes. Si¡­ Chu Qi took a deep breath after reading the description. Chapter 22 Flash was a necessary life-saving skill for Mages. No matter what game it was, Flash was a skill that could only be chanced upon by luck. The Silver Stage Flash had two charges. After the Flash, it could increase the critical strike and spell critical strike chance. This was sick¡­. After looking at the technique, Chu Qi looked at the Plague Mage¡¯s corpse. A total of three pieces of equipment had been dropped. The three pieces of equipment were all parts of the Plague Set. They were not suitable for a Summoner like Chu Qi. Chu Qi learned [Flash] and then sent an email to Wind Whisper. . ¡°Do you want the set? I¡¯ll sell it to you for 5,000 gold coins each. I¡¯ll give you an extra consumable.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll transfer it to you now!¡± When Wind Whisper saw that there was a set, he immediately bought it. After Chu Qi handed over the equipment, he took out half of the gold coins in his backpack and directly went offline to rest. ¡­ Ding Dong¡­ ¡°Message reminder: Your account 3799¡¯s income today: 6,37750 yuan (Industrial and Commercial Bank).¡± As soon as he left the game, a message came from the bank. In just two days, Chu Qi had earned more than 600,000 yuan. At that moment, a call came in. On the other end of the call, a fat woman in a red dress was shouting shrilly. ¡°Chu Qi! You haven¡¯t paid your rent for two months. If you still don¡¯t pay, I¡¯ll kick you out!¡± ¡°Message alert: Your account 6,342 has received: £¤100,000 (Industrial and Commercial Bank) today.¡± The woman had just finished speaking when the message notification reached her ears. ¡°This is the annual rent for this year. You don¡¯t have to look for it anymore.¡± The speed at which he silenced the landlord¡¯s face made her freeze. In the end, he hung up the phone without saying a word. After paying the rent, Chu Qi casually looked at the information on the forum. Now, half the players were already level 12-13, and the content of the posts was mostly about the individual dungeons in the main city. After browsing for a while, hunger occupied Chu Qi¡¯s brain. Chu Qi walked out of the room and casually ate something. Seeing that there was nothing to do, he hurriedly went online. Entering the ¡°Infinite Worlds¡± world again, the main city was already being shouted at for sale. The shouting of finding people to form teams constantly attacked Chu Qi¡¯s eardrums. Chu Qi had already passed the main city¡¯s dungeon, and the surrounding mission rewards were very low. This was only the most remote place in the empire. Even though it was called a main city, it was equivalent to a transit station, not much different from Dry Leaf Town. The biggest difference was that there was a large-scale teleportation formation in Red Maple City. This teleportation formation could send you to any corner of the empire. It was the most convenient transportation. Chu Qi¡¯s true goal was the Forward Charge City in the southern warzone. However, if he wanted to teleport there, he needed to reach level 20. However, he was only level 15, while the others were still close to level 20. In ¡°Infinite Worlds¡±, although there were many powerful hidden occupations, the price of powerful strength was that leveling up would be very slow. Ordinary job upgrades only required tens of thousands of experience points, while Chu Qi needed hundreds of thousands. Of course, Chu Qi had no complaints about this. After all, powerful strength required some price. Chu Qi planned to continue killing monsters around the main city, so that his level could keep up with the masses. However, at this moment, a series of loudspeakers appeared. ¡°Unspecialized players, pay attention. The Lava Land in the north now belongs to us, Tyrant Guild!¡± ¡°Everyone, pay attention. The southern Undead Heights is under our Heaven Alliance¡¯s control!¡± ¡°The forest to the east.¡± After arriving at the main city, the various large guilds displayed their strength and drove away some non-affiliated players who had no faction. They then took over the resources of the farming community. ¡°You don¡¯t want me to kill monsters?¡± Chu Qi frowned and then spent 1000 gold coins on ten loudspeakers. ¡°Red Maple City now belongs to me, Falling Dust!¡± Everyone in the chat group stopped talking for 10 seconds. ¡°Um¡­ didn¡¯t this person only appear in two publications? Why is he so arrogant?¡± ¡°He wants to take on the four major guilds by himself. How arrogant.¡± ¡°Anyone want to form a team to kill him and slap his face?¡± The unaffiliated players and members of the guild were enraged by this arrogant speech. Tyrant Guild was the first to send a loudspeaker message. ¡°We¡¯ll stay in the Land of Lava and wait for Falling Dust to come and die!¡± ¡­ Half an hour later, Chu Qi had reached level 18. And besides the corpses of all kinds of monsters under his feet, there were also players of all kinds of professions. All the players in Red Maple City were killed by Chu Qi alone. The current players were completely unable to withstand a single blow from Chu Qi. More than two hundred players couldn¡¯t even defeat Chu Qi¡¯s skeleton warrior. The high damage from Chu Qi¡¯s summoned beast coupled with the passive skill [Shockwave] was too much. Each attack could clear a wave of players. ¡°Tyrant Guild has announced their withdrawal from the Land of Lava.¡± ¡°The World Alliance has announced their withdrawal from the Undead Heights.¡± ¡°The Forest has been evacuated¡­¡± The players in the main city were frightened by this scene and shivered. The various guilds also announced their withdrawal from the battle for the training area. Red Maple City had fallen under the control of Chu Qi alone. ¡°Great God Falling Dust, our Kyushu Guild wants to hunt some high-level monsters, but we just saw that they were all contracted by you. We want to ask for an area.¡± Wind Whisper was already level 20, but when he saw that Chu Qi had reserved Red Maple City, he immediately sent a message. ¡°Sure, but you have to owe me a favor. Come help me if I need anything in the future.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Wind Whisper heard Chu Qi¡¯s words and hesitated. In his previous life, although Wind Whisper¡¯s strength was not particularly outstanding, his clan was indeed very powerful. In this life, Chu Qi naturally had to invest in it in advance. Wind Whisper also knew how important the favor he owed would be. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll owe you a favor, after all¡­ you helped my team obtain the first clear of the Undead Cave.¡± After hesitating for a while, he nodded and left his private number behind. ¡­ After a day and a half, under Chu Qi¡¯s constant grinding, his level finally reached level 20. Chu Qi had also unlocked the world teleportation formation and could develop it anywhere in the Human Empire. Chu Qi stepped into the teleportation formation, and his eyes were enveloped by a white light. All sorts of roars constantly sounded in his ears. Chu Qi knew that these voices belonged to his future enemies. In Infinite Worlds, the final enemy of the Burning Legion was a parasite living in a spatial rift. After entering the teleportation formation, one could only teleport through void cracks. Therefore, in the future, the teleportation formation would be the first channel for the Burning Legion to enter the Empire. The white light in front of him darkened, and the wilderness appeared in front of Chu Qi. Chapter 23 ¡°Ding! Unforeseen mission has been triggered [Escaping Kill, Arrival at Forward Charge City]¡± ¡°Mission Description: Due to the interference of unknown forces, there¡¯s a problem with the teleportation formation. Unknown and dangerous enemies have begun to hunt you down. You need to head to the nearest Forward Charge City and report the situation to City Lord Dylan.¡± ¡°Mission reward: 5,000 Reputation Points for Forward Charge City.¡± A sudden mission appeared. This high reward made Chu Qi feel that something was wrong. The reputation of a main city was extremely difficult to obtain, especially for a border city like this. However, this mission alone had a reward of 5,000 Reputation points. This was equivalent to half a month of hard work by ordinary players. This was something Chu Qi had never encountered before.. The surroundings were empty, without any players or NPCs. ¡°A familiar smell. the bloodline of the undead, and the body of a human.¡± A voice suddenly sounded in the surroundings. Chu Qi finally understood that his class had attracted enemies. The surrounding forest began to shake. Chu Qi did not hesitate and activated [Vanishing Step]. The moment his body became transparent, he began to run towards the south. On the map, Chu Qi was only 10 kilometers away from Forward Charge City. With his current speed, he would reach his destination in less than ten minutes. Compared to facing an unknown enemy, Chu Qi chose a safe method, which was to run! At this moment, the enemies behind him also revealed their figures, and a big headed but small figured demon appeared. [Front Sentinel of the Burning Legion] Level 25 Health: 600,000 Attack Power: 8000 Skill: Mark Chu Qi saw the monster¡¯s introduction and opened his eyes wide. The Burning Legion that should have gradually appeared three years later had appeared at this time. Even though they were only some sentinels, each of them had the attributes of a Boss. There were about twenty to thirty of them densely packed behind him. Chu Qi¡¯s last thought of resistance was obliterated. He only cared about running towards Forward Charge City. The front sentinels of the Burning Legion saw that Chu Qi¡¯s figure had disappeared, and the originally compact formation dispersed. They searched in all directions. Three followed behind Chu Qi. In another 10 seconds, Chu Qi¡¯s invisibility effect would disappear. There was no other way. This couldn¡¯t go on. If he continued to run, he would still be seen in the end. He had to find a way to deal with these three brats. Chu Qi crossed a hill and hid below, summoning his summoned beast, preparing to catch the three outpost soldiers off guard. Summon Critical Hit! There were originally only five skeleton warriors, but under the summoning critical hit, ten of them appeared! Chu Qi was extremely surprised. After triggering this critical hit, Chu Qi had greater confidence in dealing with these three sentinels. At that moment, the sound of footsteps grew louder. The front sentinel was nearby. Chu Qi immediately held his breath and waited patiently. In less than ten seconds, the first sentinel reached out. 8066 8675 8356 ¡­ Without giving the sentinel time to react, the ten skeleton warriors jumped up and attacked. Immediately after, the five nether wolves attacked with the arrows of the skeleton archers. 12000 11980 [Fatal Strike]60000 [Fatal Strike]60000 ¡­ The nether wolf¡¯s attack fortunately triggered two fatal blows, and the health of this sentinel was instantly drained. Without even attacking once, Chu Qi instantly killed a monster with 600,000 HP. Ding! Talent skill activated. All attributes received 1 point, passive skill [Pursuit] obtained. [Pursuit] Skill Description: The attack will release a debuff that will cause+10% damage to the enemy. Without waiting for the skill description, Chu Qi ran. However, the sounds of fighting attracted the attention of the two sentinels around them. One of them immediately shouted loudly. The surrounding sentinels all stopped searching and ran towards Chu Qi. Seeing that there was no way to stop it, Chu Qi could only command his summoned creatures to block it from behind while he ran towards Forward Charge City. However, just as he turned around, a red circle of light surged out from the front sentinel¡¯s hand and attached to Chu Qi¡¯s forehead. Looking at the status bar, the duration of [Pursuit]: 10 minutes. [Pursuit] Skill Effect: Obtain the target¡¯s location and increase damage by 10% At this moment, there was no need to search anymore. Chu Qi¡¯s location had already been exposed to the vision of the sentinels. It couldn¡¯t be helped. They were still a distance away from Forward Charge City. Chu Qi stabilized his body and prepared to fight. 8976 ¨C 8864 ¨C The skeleton warriors were the first to move. They surrounded a sentinel who was at the front and began to attack. The nether wolf arched its body and looked like it was ready to attack. The moment the skeleton warriors surrounded the target, The Wolf also pounced forward, and high damage appeared one after another. The surrounding skeleton archers continuously used three consecutive arrows and continued to attack. 680,000! 450,000 200,000 In less than half a minute, one of the sentinels was taken care of by Chu Qi, but the number of skeleton warriors decreased from ten to three. Chu Qi summoned the skeleton warriors again. This time, there were no critical hits. Only five appeared. Without the addition of the Summoning Critical Hit, Chu Qi¡¯s skeleton warriors could only maintain at five. This greatly reduced the speed at which Chu Qi dealt with one of the sentinels. [Dark Mark] Chu Qi raised his hand and threw a technique. Then, the surrounding summoned creatures pounced again. Finger of Death! Ding! Talent skill activated. All attributes received 1 point. Ever since Chu Qi obtained it, the technique that had been dormant had finally taken effect. The remaining 50-odd sentinel soldiers were instantly killed. Before Chu Qi could heave a sigh of relief, a scene that made his scalp tingle appeared. Sentinels of the Burning Legion crawled out from all directions and surrounded Chu Qi. This was going to be troublesome. There were still twelve left. This was not a situation that they could take on head-on. The skeleton warrior broke the stalemate first and pounced towards a nearby outpost. The war began. Death Soul Curse! Dark Mark! Chu Qi no longer held anything back. As long as a technique lit up, he would release it. The front sentinel of the Burning Legion wasn¡¯t like the other demons who would only foolishly attack the enemy in front of them. They directly passed Chu Qi¡¯s summoned creature, waving the machete in their hands as they rushed towards him. Flash! Chu Qi broke free from the encirclement and summoned his skeleton warriors again. At this moment, all the sentinels were gathered together, and the damage from [Shockwave] was maxed out. The data of the explosion appeared above the sentinel¡¯s head. Chu Qi added another [Death Soul Curse]. Therefore, under the continuous attacks of the sentinels in this area, one-third of their HP had been lost. The advance guard was very fast. Seeing that Chu Qi had run out, he immediately changed his location and surrounded him again. 8000 8000 One couldn¡¯t dodge in time, and the two attacks already hit Chu Qi. Chu Qi¡¯s health also fell to the freezing point. Chapter 24 Flash! Chu Qi broke free from the encirclement again. Summoning his skeleton warrior to block in front of him, Chu Qi began to crazily drink potions to replenish his health. It had only been half a minute since he last used Flash, which meant that he would have to use it for another four and a half minutes. Chu Qi no longer stood in place. Instead, he began to move continuously. His summoned creature immediately self-destructed when the sentinel approached, releasing the Death Pulse to repel the enemy.. Even after several consecutive attacks, there were still no first casualties on the sentinels. There was another sound in the surrounding forest. Bows and arrows flew out and hit the sentinel¡¯s head. 50000 50000 50000 ¡­ Three centaurs appeared, their eyes blazing with hatred. ¡°Trash from the Burning Legion, die a miserable death!¡± Without any communication with Chu Qi, the centaurs began to attack. Chu Qi quickly reacted and coordinated with the centaur¡¯s continuous attacks. The first sentinel was quickly wiped out under the concentrated fire. If one died, another would die. Chu Qi¡¯s confidence was boosted, and he worked even harder to move and attack. Ding! Innate skill activated¡­ ¡® Five minutes passed, and then the second sentinel was dead. Ten minutes later, the third¡­ The fourth¡­ ¡­ After an unknown period of time, the last of them fell to the ground. Ding! Talent skill activated, all stat points obtained: 1. Chu Qi went completely limp. He lay on the ground and kept panting. At this moment, his condition had already reached its lowest point. All the medicine in the bag had been used, and the cooldown period for Revival had also started. The centaurs walked in front of Chu Qi and bowed slightly. ¡°Honorable Undead Lord, thank you for your contribution to resisting the Burning Legion.¡± ¡°This is what I should do.¡± Chu Qi faced the person who saved him and replied seriously. ¡°Even though you¡¯re still very weak now, your courage is admirable.¡± The corner of Chu Qi¡¯s eyes twitched. He was speechless and didn¡¯t know what to say. The centaur then handed Chu Qi a red staff. ¡°The previous Undead Lord was our most solid comrade. This is his legacy.¡± ¡°Since we¡¯ve met his descendant here, I¡¯ll give you this staff.¡± Ding! Obtained growth weapon [Undead Lord¡¯s Scepter (Legendary)]. Chu Qi took the equipment from the leader and bowed slightly, preparing to bid farewell to these three helpers. However, it wasn¡¯t over yet. The leader took out another egg that emitted a strange light and handed it to Chu Qi. ¡°This is an egg I¡¯ve come across by coincidence. It can be your pet.¡± After saying this, the people gestured again at Chu Qi before leaving hurriedly. ¡°Ding! You have received 1,000 Sagittarius Reputation and the Blessing of [Warrior¡¯s Will].¡± [Warrior¡¯s Will] Skill Introduction: Increases the damage of allies by 30%. Ding! Announcement: Player [Falling Dust] has obtained a Legendary weapon and has unlocked the equipment ranking system. Ding! Full-service announcement: Player [Falling Dust] has obtained an unknown pet egg and has unlocked the pet system. Even though Chu Qi had already been showing up on the entire server many times, he still shocked everyone this time. ¡°Only this god can unlock two systems in a row.¡± ¡°He¡¯s still steadily exerting his strength. Big Boss is awesome.¡± ¡­ The world channel was once again filled with discussion. Chu Qi¡¯s email was instantly filled with people who wanted to buy Legendary weapons. Chu Qi quickly turned on his private setting and blocked out all the strangers. He also hid his name for his equipment on the rankings. Then, he opened the equipment rankings: First place: [Falling Dust] Weapon: Unknown (Legendary) Second place: Sunshine Knight Equipment [Sunshine Holy Bell (Diamond)] ¡­ The weapon in second place was also very powerful. In Chu Qi¡¯s memory, this was also a weapon exclusive to a person¡¯s hidden class. Closing the equipment rankings, Chu Qi began to recover. After resting for a while, another notification sounded. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on defeating the front sentinel of the Burning Legion. You have obtained 1,500 Reputation Points for Forward Charge City.¡± There were a total of 15 Sentinels, each with 100 Reputation points. This was equivalent to the reward for a mission. Chu Qi felt that his efforts had not been in vain, and his mental fatigue had decreased by a lot. ¡°Ding! You have attracted the attention of the Burning Legion commander in the spatial rift and obtained the curse [Stare of the Burning Legion].¡± ¡°Mortal! You¡¯ll be caught by me.¡± Another notification sounded, followed by a voice that had appeared before. [Stare of the Burning Legion] Curse Description: No matter where you are, the Burning Legion will always find you. You are the prey now! Curse Effect: The desire of all the Burning Legion to attack you has increased exponentially. Once you appear around them, they will immediately find you regardless of whether you are in combat mode. Because of the location of the Burning Legion¡¯s markings, the damage dealt to you by other creatures will be reduced by 10%. Was this a curse? Why did it look like it was enhanced¡­ Chu Qi looked at the description of the curse and didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. The Burning Legion would only appear after three years at the earliest. This was just an accident. With this curse, the other enemies¡¯ damage to Chu Qi was reduced by 10% for no reason. This was quite happy, so Chu Qi didn¡¯t take this curse seriously. He continued south. At this moment, Chu Qi had reached a swamp while being chased. There were dense spider webs everywhere. The ten-minute journey to Forward Charge City had now become half an hour. Chu Qi summoned his nether wolf and quickly advanced while reaping the lives of the surrounding creatures. Ding! Talent skill activated. All stat points obtained: 1. Passive skill [Binding Net] obtained. [Binding Net] Skill Description: Attack reduces the enemy¡¯s movement speed by 30% Ding!¡­ Passive skill [Multiple Casts] obtained. [Multiple Casts] Skill Description: 5% chance to cast twice. 2.5% chance to cast three times. 0.5% chance to cast four times. 0.05% chance to cast five times. Chu Qi didn¡¯t expect the monsters he killed along the way to bring him such a pleasant surprise. Ding! Congratulations on advancing to level 21. You have received 3 free stat points. Soon, Forward Charge City appeared in front of Chu Qi. Chu Qi¡¯s attributes had also changed drastically. ID: Falling Dust Level: 20 Occupation: Undead Lord (Second Stage) Health: 56850 Mana: 30050 Magic Attack: 17,040 Strength: 720 (Physical Attack Damage) Agility: 720 (Movement Speed and Attack Speed) Intelligence: 1043 (Magic damage and mana regeneration speed) Constitution: 720 (Health Points and Defensive Strength) Defense: 380 Critical Hit Chance: 10% Talent: [Soul Reaper (Forbidden, Unique)] Technique: [Summoning Skeleton Warrior (Bronze)] [Summoning Skeleton Archer (Bronze)] Summoning Strength: 180% 2000000 / 12000000 Chapter 25 He was looking at his new class-specific weapon, the Undead Ruler¡¯s Scepter. [Undead Lord¡¯s Scepter (Legendary)] Intelligence :+100 Magic Attack :+5000 Special Feature 1: All attributes increased by 20 points (Stage 2) Special Feature 2: Undead Summons increased by 20% (Stage 2) Special Feature 3 (locked) Special Feature 4 (locked) ¡­ Special Feature 10 (locked) Equipment Description: A staff passed down from generation to generation by the Undead Lords. The staff not only has powerful benefits, but is also a symbol of power. In the past, the Undead Lords had made many comrades in the war. This staff is also an important tool to obtain the help of some races. . Every time the character class¡¯ stage leveled up, it would unlock new characteristics up to a total of ten levels. ¡­ ¡°Ding! Mission completed [Escape Interception, Arrival at Forward Charge City]. Reward: Forward Charge City Reputation 5,000.¡± Ding! Forward Charge City Reputation Shop has been unlocked. The notification sound also sounded afterward. Chu Qi opened the Reputation Shop in Forward Charge City and checked the goods inside. Beginner Reputation Store (unlocked): Beginner Health Potion (100 Reputation Points) Beginner Magic Potion (100 Reputation points) Forward Charge City Standard Sword (1500 Reputation) Forward Charge City Standard Armor (1500 Reputation) ¡­ Intermediate Reputation Store (Requires more than 5,000 Reputation Points) Advanced Reputation Store (Required Reputation More than 500,000) Treasure Vault of the City Lord At this moment, Chu Qi¡¯s Forward Charge City Reputation was only enough to unlock the Beginner Reputation Store. As a main city at the border, most of the Reputation Stores were used for combat and were very suitable for players. However, in this Reputation Store, the price of the most ordinary sword was extremely expensive. However, its attributes were also far higher than ordinary equipment of the same level. Chu Qi had just stopped when a call from the real world came. Chu Qi walked out of the gaming capsule and picked up the phone. ¡°Hey! Brother Chu, I¡¯m in the game you mentioned. Damn, there are so many gods in this game.¡± ¡°Which city are you in? I came to take you on a mission.¡± ¡°I¡¯m in Forward Forward Charge City, and I¡¯m taking on a mission at the headquarters of the city guard¡­ My ID is [Withered Leaf].¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. I¡¯m preparing to submit my mission at the city gate. I¡¯ll come online to find you¡­¡± Chu Qi hung up the phone and entered the game again. After passing through the city gate in front of him, a bustling street appeared in front of him. ¡°Unrelated people are prohibited from entering!¡± ¡°We¡¯re here to help!¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t you let us in? We could still come in yesterday!¡± ¡­ Noise came from ahead as a group of people surrounded a building. This was the headquarters of the city guard. Many people were stopped at the entrance and were not allowed to enter. There happened to be a player named [Withered Leaf] in the periphery of the crowd. Chu Qi walked up and patted his shoulder. [Withered Leaf] turned its head, revealing Liang Yuan¡¯s face. ¡°Chu Qi, I¡¯ve been trying to find you for so long.¡± Liang Yuan saw Chu Qi and spoke in surprise. ¡°I just came in. Of course you can¡¯t find me. Why are you standing here and not going in?¡± Chu Qi looked at Liang Yuan, who was motionless. He only looked at the entrance of the city guard headquarters. What was going on? ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. I don¡¯t know why the City Lord isn¡¯t available today. Many people who want to do missions can¡¯t enter.¡± Liang Yuan sighed helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll take you in.¡± As they were talking, Chu Qi ignored the precedent of these people being stopped and walked over with Liang Yuan. He had no intention of stopping. The surrounding people saw this and sneered. ¡°Another two people who are still deluded and want to barge in.¡± ¡°It won¡¯t be long before the city guards throw them out.¡± ¡°I bet they¡¯ll be driven away when they get to the door.¡± Facing these discussions, Chu Qi completely ignored them. The city guards at the entrance saw Chu Qi. They did not treat him like the others. Instead, they greeted him respectfully. ¡°Respected warrior Falling Dust, your deeds outside the city have already been spread by the Centaur Tribe. City Lord Dylan and the City Guard Captain Ai Wen are waiting for you inside.¡± Then, the two guards looked at Liang Yuan. He felt uncomfortable being stared at. ¡°This is my brother. He¡¯s coming with me.¡± Hearing this, the guard turned around, opened the door, and began to lead the way. Under the escort of the two city guards who were guarding outside, Chu Qi¡¯s journey was smooth. The surrounding players¡¯ faces turned green and white, and they could only retreat resentfully. After entering the city guard headquarters, the City Lord was sitting at a table and talking to Ai Wen. The two city guards who led the way brought Chu Qi and Liang Yuan to this place and left without informing the two people who were discussing. Chu Qi knocked on the door lightly twice and coughed. The crisp sound caught Dylan and Ai Wen¡¯s attention. ¡°So you¡¯re Falling Dust. Sit!¡± Chu Qi¡¯s appearance made Dylan become very enthusiastic. He didn¡¯t care about Liang Yuan who was standing at the side and began to entertain Chu Qi. Dylan wasn¡¯t like the other NPCs who only knew how to say these words that had been set up. His expression was no different from a real person in Chu Qi¡¯s eyes. Chu Qi casually found a chair and sat down. Then, he explained everything that he had encountered. ¡°The Burning Legion¡­ after so long, they have appeared again. War is coming!¡± Long before Chu Qi arrived, Dylan had already received the high priest¡¯s prophecy that a powerful enemy would descend again. It was just that the long period of preparation had been fruitless, causing Dylan to let down his guard. Now that he had obtained news about the Burning Legion again, Dylan attached great importance to it. ¡°Warrior, I have a difficult mission for you now. The Burning Legion has already descended again. We need help.¡± Dylan muttered to himself. Then, he looked at Chu Qi and held his hands. ¡°I hope you can go to the nearby Magical Beast Mountain Range and find the Centaur Tribe and the Werebear Tribe to help Forward Charge City resist the vanguard of the Burning Legion.¡± Chu Qi was stunned. The Centaur Tribe had always been on good terms with him. Wasn¡¯t this mission just to convince the Werebear Tribe to help? It was like a reward for free. Without any hesitation, Chu Qi accepted the mission. ¡°Ding! Received main mission: [Forming factions] Mission Description: Facing the threat from the vanguard troops of the Burning Legion, just one main city is not enough. You need to find as many helpers as possible in three days. Reward: Forward Charge City Reputation+10,000 Dylan called the two city guards outside the door in and handed Chu Qi a circular object. ¡°From Forward Charge City to the gathering place of the werebear tribe, you will pass by the Misty Forest. Ordinary people will not be able to tell the direction when they enter. Gebre and Adams are the ones who will bring you to the Misty Forest. This plate is called the [Lost Disc]. It will point out the correct path for you.¡± [Lost Disc] Quest Item Item description: A nautical compass left behind by a great pirate from the ancient times. It can bring you to the place the user wishes. Chapter 26 Chu Qi took the compass and put it in his bag. Following Gebre and Adams, Chu Qi brought Liang Yuan out of the city gate. On the official road in front of the city gate, a guard was anxiously pacing back and forth, holding a letter in his hand. Just as he was turning around, he saw Chu Qi and Liang Yuan. He revealed a happy expression and immediately went forward to welcome them. ¡°Warrior! Warrior, please help me. I am a guard of the Misty Forest. My army has been attacked. I hope you can help me save my comrade Miya.¡± It was another mission to the Misty Forest. It was the same as his main storyline.. Chu Qi did not refuse and directly agreed. ¡°Ding! Accepted mission [Missing Miya]. Prompt: This mission has a certain risk. The mission reward will be determined according to the completion status.¡± This was the first time Chu Qi had seen a mission with a hint. Usually, such a mission would have some hidden bosses. Defeating these hidden bosses would give even richer rewards. Seeing that Chu Qi had accepted the mission, the city guards on the official road finally heaved a sigh of relief. They returned to the city wall and watched Chu Qi leave. ¡­ Under the lead of Gebre and Adams, Chu Qi first arrived at the Centaur Tribe outside the Misty Forest. The entire tribe was very small, only about one mu in size. It was really very narrow for a tribe, and there were only one or two people guarding the entrance. ¡°The Centaur Tribe¡­ Isn¡¯t it too small? Is it really reliable to have so few people as allies?¡± Liang Yuan could not help but sigh when he saw the appearance of this tribe. Beside him, Gebre and Adams immediately covered Liang Yuan¡¯s mouth, acting very afraid. Chu Qi narrowed his eyes. This tribe didn¡¯t want them to see it as unbearable. There must be something hidden inside. The four of them quickly walked forward and entered the tribe. As soon as they entered, more than a hundred centaurs suddenly appeared and surrounded them. The people at the outpost also raised their bows and attacked Chu Qi and the others. More than a hundred bows and arrows were pulled full on the bowstring, facing this group of uninvited guests. Chu Qi decisively took out his personal weapon and then shouted. ¡°I am Falling Dust, an ally. I came to ask for an alliance.¡± The surrounding centaurs did not put down their bows easily. Instead, they slowly dispersed. In the crowd, an abnormally tall centaur slowly walked over. Chu Qi recognized this person as the one who had helped him reach Forward Charge City. ¡°Put down your weapons, we¡¯re not enemies.¡± A deep voice sounded from the mouths of the people who had come out. The surrounding centaurs also pushed open with an order and all entered the only tent of the Centaur Tribe. It turned out that most of the people came out of this tent, but the tent was so small. Chu Qi was very curious about this tent. Even though this tent was bigger than all the tents he had seen, it was not big enough to accommodate more than a hundred centaurs. ¡°My name is Armites, and I am the sacrifice of this tribe. Come in with me.¡± Armites saw his curiosity and desire to explore. He turned his head and gestured for Chu Qi to follow. He himself turned around first and entered the tent. Chu Qi followed in. The tent looked very big on the outside, and its interior was as wide as several football fields. It looked like an extremely powerful spatial artifact. ¡°This is the ancestral land passed down from generation to generation by our Centaur Race. It was refined by our ancestors using a Void Worm.¡± Armites looked at Chu Qi and the others and introduced the origins of the tent. Void Worms were void creatures that were about ten meters long. They were like maggots. Because Void Worms could not reproduce, Their numbers had always been fixed. The void creatures lived in the void rift with the Burning Legion. In the future invasion of Earth, the Void Legion would also be the main force of the invaders. Void Worms were the more special type of void creatures. They were the only ones who could open void cracks freely. Their powerful teleportation ability had an extremely great effect on the battle. It was also because of this ability that every time a Void Worm appeared, the experts of the various races would hunt it. Now, there were only three Void Worms left in the base of the void creatures. The interior of the tent was not like what Chu Qi imagined it to be. It was a small world inside. There were lakes, green lands, mountain ranges, and even all kinds of plant animals. Fine buildings were neatly placed to the side. That should be where the centaurs lived. There was also a training ground in the distance for the young centaurs. Chu Qi followed Amites into a small house. ¡°You¡¯re here for the Autumn Alliance, right? When we were helping you get rid of the frontlines of the Burning Legion, we already sensed that they were about to return.¡± Armites immediately exposed Chu Qi¡¯s motive. Chu Qi didn¡¯t hide it and nodded. ¡°Apart from you, we still have to find the Werebear Tribe to form an alliance. Only by receiving your help can we resist the Burning Legion¡¯s vanguard army.¡± Armites was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something. Then, he became normal again and said to Chu Qi, ¡°The Werebear Tribe revered martial arts. The strength you need to recruit them with is not enough.¡± ¡°Even if you are the fastest growth among all the Undead Lords, there isn¡¯t enough time for you to grow slowly now.¡± ¡°To get to the Werebear Tribe, you have to pass through the Misty Forest. The poisonous mushroom monsters, the giant predator with the body of an eagle and the head of the human, and the Swift Wind that has fused with the darkness will be your greatest challenge.¡± ¡°When you complete all three challenges, you will be able to defeat the number one warrior of the werebear tribe and obtain its alliance.¡± Armites told Chu Qi what he needed to do and gestured a series of strange actions at him. ¡°Ding! Accepted mission [Misty Forest¡¯s Trial], received the blessings of the centaur.¡± [Misty Forest¡¯s Trial] Mission Requirement: 1. Find and defeat the giant poisonous mushroom in the forest swamp area. Defeat the Harpy Queen on the top of the ancient tree in the Misty Forest. Third, resist or defeat the attack of the Shadow Leopards at night. Mission Reward: One Legendary item and several other Legendary items. [Blessing of the Centaur] Blessing Effect: Movement Speed+30% Attack Speed :+30% Health Points :+30% Skill Cooldown :+30% Duration: 23 hours 56 minutes 48 seconds Chu Qi heard the notification in his ear and understood the meaning of Armites¡¯ actions just now. ¡°It¡¯s just some help for you. I look forward to the day you become strong.¡± Armites bowed to Chu Qi and left the hall. Chu Qi and the others were also teleported to the entrance of the tribe by a force. The blessings of the centaurs were very powerful. With this buff, Chu Qi had a lot of information about the trial mission. Relying on the 30% increase in speed, Chu Qi and Liang Yuan quickly arrived at the depths of the Misty Forest. The two city guards didn¡¯t dare to enter the Misty Forest and ran away. Chapter 27 The surrounding fog gradually became heavier. In the noon sky, even the strong sunlight could not penetrate the fog in the forest. The tall trees stood everywhere, and the dense leaves made Chu Qi unable to tell his surroundings. He had only taken a few steps when he could no longer find the way back. Chu Qi thought of the lost disc that Dylan had left for him before he left. This was used to find his way in the Misty Forest. Chu Qi took out the Lost Disc and opened the middle cover. A weak blue light shot out and floated in front of Chu Qi. Perhaps it was because he didn¡¯t know the exact appearance and characteristics of the mushroom monster, but no matter how Chu Qi thought about it, the blue light never moved. With no choice, Chu Qi could only change his mindset to the wetland of the swamp.. The blue light immediately slowly moved forward. Chu Qi went up even more and continued to enter deep into this huge Misty Forest. The Dense Misty Forest was a large-scale wilderness dungeon that contained all kinds of monsters between level 20 and level 50. In his previous life, Chu Qi had received news that at the center of the Dense Misty Forest, the only god that was still alive in [Infinite Worlds] was hidden somewhere. As for the animals living around the gods, they were the overlord-level creatures in this forest. Only four of them had a firm grasp of the central area of the Misty Forest, which was 50 square kilometers. Fortunately, the current Chu Qi did not need to enter the central area of the Misty Forest. He only needed to do missions in the outer area. However, this outer area was not small. It was more than 100 square kilometers. There were also some level 30 to 40 wild beasts living in it. Chu Qi could not afford to offend them yet, so he could only stay far away. The entire forest was dark. Chu Qi led Liang Yuan forward slowly, and the grass on the ground began to become moist. In a few steps, the water seeping out of the grass had already submerged their shoes. They had also completely stepped into the swamp. There was a huge figure moving slowly in the fog in front of him. The ground shook continuously with the footsteps of the figure. Chu Qi walked forward and checked the attributes of that figure. Indeed, it was the mushroom monster they were looking for. [Poisonous Mushroom (Silver Elite)] Level: 25 Health: 800,000 Attack Power: 12,000 Technique: Super Regeneration, Poison Spore (1), Poison Spore (2) [Super Regeneration] Skill Description: Recovery of 5% Life per Second [Poisonous Spore] Skill Description: Releases a large number of poisonous spores to parasitize the enemy. This was only one elite monster of the Misty Forest. It already had the attributes of the Boss Chu Qi had encountered in the sewers. It was just that it was missing two skills. With the augmentation of the super-strong Regeneration technique, as long as Chu Qi and Liang Yuan¡¯s output was lower than their recovery speed, they would have no chance of winning. Summon! Chu Qi did not attack directly. He first released all his summoned creatures, and more than ten friendly creatures appeared on the field. Liang Yuan was dumbfounded and very surprised as he watched from the side. ¡°Brother, are you a Summoner? You¡¯re cheating. You¡¯re too abnormal.¡± ¡°I was lucky to get a hidden class.¡± Liang Yuan looked at Chu Qi¡¯s calm appearance and was speechless. He could only vent his anger on the poisonous mutated mushroom. -1023 -1423 Liang Yuan¡¯s job was a mage. The scarlet fireball flew towards the poisonous mutated mushroom, and the creature seemed to roll its eyes. The damage was pitifully low. ¡°This place is filled with water vapor. It¡¯s useless for you to attack him with fire-type skills.¡± Chu Qi saw that the poisonous mutated mushroom was already covered by a water membrane. Ordinary fire-attribute attacks had little effect on it, so he reminded Liang Yuan. Chu Qi¡¯s skeleton warrior also jumped over and attacked at this moment. The impact of seven to eight skeletons together made the poisonous mutated mushroom unable to stand still. -8900 -8509 -9,873 ¡­ With the cooperation of the nether wolf and the skeleton warrior, in just a few seconds, the poisonous mutated mushroom¡¯s HP had already decreased by 8%. However, in the next second, under the effect of the super recovery skill, its HP recovered again. -12000 -60000 (Fatal Strike) -12000 -4000 (Bleeding) The nether wolf continued to sneak attack from between the gaps of the skeleton warrior, slowly draining the boss¡¯s HP. Liang Yuan also released all his skills, but his attributes were not just a little different from Chu Qi¡¯s. The damage he could cause was very limited. Under the endless harassment, the poisonous mutated mushroom became more and more violent. Its body suddenly increased in size, becoming twice as large as before. The surrounding skeleton warriors and nether wolves were sent flying by this attack and dissipated. ¡°Damn trash, die.¡± The poisonous mutated mushroom¡¯s head opened up into small holes, and countless fine spores were sandwiched between the dark green poisonous substances and spewed out. Liang Yuan hurriedly jumped back to Chu Qi¡¯s side to avoid these poisonous creatures. ¡°Brother Chu, your summoned creatures can¡¯t hold on anymore. What should we do? Don¡¯t tell me we¡¯re going to be wiped out here?¡± ¡°Find a place to hide. Just watch my performance next.¡± Chu Qi calmly waved his hand. With the passive ability, Undead Body, the surrounding poisonous fog was no different from ordinary fog in his eyes. He raised his hand and summoned the skeleton warriors again. A group of summoned creatures returned and surrounded the poisonous mutated mushroom. ¨C 8655 ¨C 5589 -6978 ¡­ Various damage values kept appearing on the mushroom monster¡¯s head. Even though it had 800,000 HP, it could not withstand these continuous attacks. 800000 750000 700,000 640000 ¡­ Its HP became lower and lower, and the attack frequency of the poisonous mutated mushrooms also decreased. ¡°My pets, come out¡­¡± The poisonous mutated mushroom shook its body crazily as the small green spiders crawled down continuously. [Poisonous Spider] Level: 20 Health Points: 1.2 million Attack Power: 3,000 Technique: None ¡°I¡¯ll bestow you with zeal!¡± Rays of red light shot out from the mushroom monster¡¯s holes. When the red light landed on the poisonous spiders, two red dots appeared in the eyes of all the spiders, and their speed suddenly increased¡­ Chu Qi looked at them. All the spiders had obtained a violent buff that said, ¡°50% movement speed, 50% damage, 50% health, 50% resistance¡±. ¡°F*ck, this mission is a little f*cked up¡­¡± Looking at the more than a hundred violent spiders, Qin Feng had the urge to curse. Armites had given him this mission. This was only an elite monster, but it was already so difficult to kill. Was it really not a trap?! This mushroom monster¡¯s skills were too abnormal. It was already very difficult to deal with it using ordinary methods¡­ It could summon more than 100 poisonous spiders in one go and would even increase the numbers. Even if more than a thousand players came, they might not be able to withstand it. Now, there was only one path left, and that was to behead him! Chapter 28 Chu Qi used Vanishing Step, and his body shape became dim. The hundred plus spiders lost their targets and all focused on Chu Qi¡¯s summoned creatures. As for Liang Yuan, he had long fled far away when Chu Qi asked him to increase the number of people.. Chu Qi controlled his Nether Wolf to constantly attract the aggro of the poisonous spiders, leading the hundreds of them deep into the forest. After he could no longer see any traces of the spider, the limit of Chu Qi¡¯s Vanishing Step had also been reached. He looked at the mushroom monster in front of him again. Under the attack of the remaining summoned creatures, although its HP did not decrease much, it did not recover and remained at half its HP. Chu Qi didn¡¯t hesitate. The moment the Vanishing Step effect disappeared, he flashed behind the mushroom monster. . The hand holding the staff trembled slightly. Chu Qi didn¡¯t know if he could kill the mushroom monster, even with all the skills he had, before the spiders returned. ¡°Summon Skeleton Warriors!¡± Before the final attack, Chu Qi released all his summoning skills at the speed of light. More than ten summoned creatures flew forward and waved their weapons¡­ -1,200,000 (Fatal Strike+Critical Hit) -16876 -13244 -13432 -24000 -3,4422 ¡­ In an instant, a series of critical damage appeared on the mushroom monster¡¯s head. All the summoned creatures relied on the 150% damage from [Jump Slash]. Coupled with the Critical Hit enhancement after Flash, one attack took away 12% of the mushroom monster¡¯s health¡­ This damage output was extremely terrifying! A second passed, and the mushroom monster still had 38% of its health left. Two seconds passed, and the mushroom monster still had 26% of its health left. Another second passed, and at this moment, the Critical Hit bonus effect disappeared. However, the mushroom monster still had 10% of its health left as it endured bitterly. At this moment, Chu Qi used Flash again, and a series of high damage appeared again. -16387 -12976 -53234 -13553 ¡­ The poisonous spiders that had been lured away previously had already discovered what Chu Qi¡¯s intention was the moment the mushroom monster was attacked. They hurriedly rushed back. The dense cries of spiders sounded in Chu Qi¡¯s ears again. His steel-like feet hit the ground, and the huge number caused the ground to shake. However, Chu Qi did not panic at all. The skeleton archer in front of him drew his bow and nocked three arrows. Swish! Swish! Swish! -15354 -14565 -15533 The three attacks became the last straw that crushed the mushroom monster. It fell to the ground, and the surrounding spiders fell as if they had lost their souls, no longer moving. Seeing the mushroom monster¡¯s huge body fall to the ground, Chu Qi heaved a sigh of relief. He had used all his techniques to kill this elite monster. The twenty-second execution operation was a perfect success. On the mushroom monster¡¯s corpse, a dazzling light surged out from the many pieces of equipment that dropped. A Skill Book fell to the ground. Chu Qi immediately went up to pick it up. At the same time, the notification sounded in his ear. Ding! Talent skill activated. All attributes received 1 point, passive skill [Super Strength Recovery] obtained. [Super Strength Recovery] Skill Description: Regenerates 5% of your maximum health every second. ¡°Super recovery. With my current attributes and this skill, even if a few hundred players besieged me, they wouldn¡¯t be able to kill me, hahaha.¡± Chu Qi checked the various equipment he had picked up again. [Mushroom Green Hat], [Filthy Glove], [Summoning Poison Spider] x1, 3,000 gold coins. [Mushroom Green Hat (Silver)] Level: 20 Health Points :+5,000 Intelligence :+120 Special Feature :+10% Resistance Special Feature 2: Summoner¡¯s Movement Speed+15% Equipment Review: Pure green hat. It seems to have a special meaning. All male creatures that encounter you will look at you with pity. Do your best and forgive her! This strange-looking hat had really broadened Chu Qi¡¯s horizons. It was very difficult for him not to think of other possibilities. This had to be a reference to the idiom of ¡°wearing a green hat¡± when your partner cheated on you! However, the hat¡¯s attributes were extremely powerful. Just its resistance alone increased by 10% was what many people dreamed of. Chu Qi was also extremely lucky. He had just obtained 50% increased resistance from the Demon Dragon Blood from the village chief of the newbie village. Moreover, this hat had+120 Intelligence. This was equivalent to one-tenth of Chu Qi¡¯s Intelligence. Chu Qi equipped this equipment without hesitation, not caring how unique the appearance of this hat was. [Corrupted Gloves (Silver)] Level: 20 Defense :+30 Special Feature 1: Casting Speed+30% Special Feature 2: Attack has a 15% chance to cause the target to be confused (Boss creature, 5%) Special Feature 3: Constant bad smell The attributes of the gloves were not very impressive, but the effects of the first two characteristics were extremely powerful, especially for a Mage. The speed at which spells were cast represented the strength of a Mage¡¯s output. A 30% casting speed was equivalent to an increase of 30% in output. However, the appearance of this glove was a little unacceptable. The pure white glove was covered in some yellow unknown liquid, and it was very disgusting. The third characteristic made people inadvertently think in a bad direction. As a Summoner, Chu Qi¡¯s casting speed was not very strategic to him, so he directly gave it to Liang Yuan to use. Next was the main event, the Skill Book. When Chu Qi saw the word summoning, he knew that he could use this skill book, so he directly learned this skill. [Summon Poison Spider (Silver)] Skill Description: Summon several small spiders (Intelligence / 2), each of which has a fixed attack power of 1 and is poisonous. Health Points: (Intelligence / 500) The spider¡¯s attributes were very bad. If it was an ordinary Summoner using this, it would only be a trash technique. However, to Chu Qi, who had great attributes, the spider¡¯s attributes and numbers could reach an extremely terrifying value. With just this technique, Chu Qi could complete many dangerous battles. Seeing the total spoils of war this time, the joy on Chu Qi¡¯s face could no longer be suppressed and he laughed. Liang Yuan, who was at the side, saw Chu Qi¡¯s expression distort. One moment, his face was sinister, and the next moment, he was laughing wildly. He even threw a glove covered in an unknown sticky liquid to him. He hurriedly jumped to the side and looked at Chu Qi in fear. For a moment, he was speechless. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chu Qi saw Liang Yuan¡¯s actions and asked curiously. ¡°I say, Brother, you¡­ I don¡¯t have those kinds of weird hobbies¡­¡± Liang Yuan looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. He held his staff in front of him. Chu Qi stretched out his hand and hit Liang Yuan¡¯s head fiercely. He said speechlessly, ¡°This is a top-grade silver glove specially used by Mages. Don¡¯t you want it?¡± When Liang Yuan heard this, he hurriedly put on his gloves and stopped being strange, obediently following behind Chu Qi. ¡­ The two of them then walked towards the encampment of the Eagle Body and Human Face Queen. However, they had not walked for long when many marks appeared on the ground around them. They looked like wheel marks. Not long after they continued forward, the forest in front of them was no longer as dense and complicated as before. His field of vision began to expand. On the ground around him, besides the wheel marks, there were also some broken wooden planks. Chu Qi went forward to check. The debris were the remains of the carriage. There were also huge claw marks on the remaining wooden boards. They should have been left behind by one of the bigger creatures. This scene immediately made Chu Qi think of the mission he had received on the official road just after leaving the city gate: ¡°Find Miya¡±! He had just finished dealing with the mushroom monster, and now he had work to do. Chu Qi didn¡¯t want to let go of this opportunity to kill monsters and do missions. He observed his surroundings. As expected, in the distant bushes, a shiny object attracted Chu Qi¡¯s attention. Chapter 29 [Miya¡¯s Mark] Quest Item Item description: Miya secretly made a mark when she was captured by an unknown enemy. Chu Qi pushed aside the bushes in front of him. In the forest in front, there were some weak lights scattered around. This was it. Miya¡¯s markings. With these markings, he could find Miya¡¯s location. Chu Qi summoned his nether wolves and let them spread out to protect his surroundings. Relying on the unique telepathy between the Summoner and the summoned beast, Chu Qi¡¯s field of vision instantly increased by several times. The various markings in front of him also became exceptionally clear, drawing a path in front of him. . Chu Qi brought Liang Yuan and ran forward. The surrounding environment gradually changed from a forest to a dense forest of rocks. After walking for a while, the markings gradually disappeared, and the surrounding trees became fewer and fewer. The rocks occupied most of the area. At this moment, an unexpected person appeared. On the rock, a girl lay motionless on the ground, on her last breath. From afar, Chu Qi thought that an NPC character was waiting to give out a mission. Only after walking in did he realize that this person was a player! It was strange. Even if a normal player couldn¡¯t take it anymore, they would still go offline on the spot instead of fainting on the ground. This player was clearly a player, but he had the characteristics of an NPC. The girl¡¯s ID was Yan Luoran. Chu Qi had heard of this name in his previous life. She was the commander of the southern warzone and had 500,000 human warriors. Unfortunately, she died under the sneak attack of the Void Worms. However, Chu Qi had never seen this person¡¯s true appearance. No one would expect that under this fierce name was a delicate and cute girl. Chu Qi took out the Purifying Potion from his bag and used it on the girl. Under the blue light, the girl¡¯s eyes kept trembling and she suddenly opened her eyes. ¡°Ah! Pervert!¡± A cold and sharp sword slashed towards Chu Qi¡¯s head. A shadow flashed past, and the Cold Iron Sword hit the ground with a ¡°ding¡±. ¡°Lunatic, I saved you!¡± The moment Chu Qi saw Yan Luoran attack, he flashed to the side. ¡°Nonsense. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you squatting in front of a young girl like me. If you¡¯re not a pervert, then what is? Die!¡± The fighting stance on Yan Luoran¡¯s hand disappeared, and the elegant sword technique was mixed with ordinary attacks. One could tell at a glance that she had learned martial arts from a young age. If this was in real life, Chu Qi might not be able to last more than three moves. However, in a game, with his powerful attributes and techniques, Yan Luoran¡¯s attacks could not break through Chu Qi¡¯s defense at all. The surrounding nether wolves received Chu Qi¡¯s orders and pounced forward to control Yan Luoran¡¯s body, making her stop moving. ¡°Can we have a good talk now? You fainted here yourself. I used a purifying potion on you before you woke up. Naturally, the first person you saw was naturally me.¡± Yan Luoran¡¯s flailing limbs stopped, and her face flushed red. Clearly, she had not thought of this just now. He slapped away the dust on her body and silently followed behind Chu Qi, not saying a word. Chu Qi didn¡¯t care about her reaction. He ordered the nether wolf to leave and continued to search for Miya. They arrived at a steep stone mountain. Vines grew smoothly from above, and the tall mountain blocked the path ahead. On the stone wall was a cave hidden by vines. The way it was hidden was flawless in front of wild beasts, but it was still too simple for a human. At least Chu Qi saw through it with a single glance. The skeleton warrior waved the machete in his hand and chopped off all the vines. A cave that only allowed one person to pass appeared. Yan Luoran, who had been secretly following behind Chu Qi, also crawled out and directly entered the cave. ¡°Brother Chu, should we be worrying about her. She ran in by herself.¡± ¡°She¡¯s stronger than you. Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Chu Qi¡¯s words made Liang Yuan speechless. He could only lower his head and remain silent. ¡°Ding! Enter the special dungeon [Underground Mine].¡± Yan Luoran had already disappeared. There were too many forks in the cave, so it was difficult to find a single person. ¡°Brother Chu, are you related to the game designer? Why do you encounter good things everywhere? You even discovered a special dungeon.¡± Liang Yuan felt that this world seemed to be leaning more towards Chu Qi. He had encountered all the good things that were beneficial for the players, regardless of whether they were hidden professions or special dungeons. ¡°I was just lucky. Just lucky. Let¡¯s enter the dungeon.¡± Chu Qi laughed lightly and did not answer. The various ores scattered on the ground in front of him were scattered on the ground, and a long trail of someone being dragged stretched all the way to the deepest part of the cave. The further down he went, the bigger the space around him became. When he reached the lowest level, his surroundings were so big that dozens of people could already stand in there. The road did not extend downwards, but there were several forks that led in all directions. Waves of sounds were heard. The skeleton warriors were immediately summoned and scattered around Chu Qi to defend against unknown enemies. ¡°Wu la la ~¡± A big-headed creature half the height of a man walked out of the darkness, holding a flute in its hand. Behind him were dozens of snakes, all of them staring at Chu Qi with their tongues out. [Dwarf Demon Shaman] Level: 20 Health: 24,000 Attack Power: 4830 Skill: Snake Control, Beast Affinity. Monster Introduction: The underground living creatures have powerful reproductive abilities. Many special species were born under the huge population. In addition, these creatures also have the strange habit of kidnapping young human women. ¡°Wow, wow, wow, wow.¡± The short-legged demon shaman didn¡¯t attack immediately. Instead, he spoke in a language he didn¡¯t understand to Chu Qi. After talking for about two to three minutes, the short-legged demon shaman saw that Chu Qi still had no reaction and directly ordered his snakes to attack. Without Chu Qi saying anything, the three arrows had already firmly stabbed into the head of the short-legged demon shaman. The surrounding snakes also dissipated with a bang. Ding! Talent skill activated. All stat points obtained: 1. Passive skill [Beast Affinity] obtained. [Beast Affinity] Skill Description: Reduce the hostility of all beasts. ¡°Isn¡¯t this too weak? With this level of skill, how could he kidnap the companions of the city guard?¡± Liang Yuan watched as this seemingly hard to deal monster was directly taken away by Chu Qi¡¯s summoned creature with three arrows. He heavily doubted the value of this dungeon. ¡°This is just the beginning. Of course, they¡¯re all relatively weak. However, the stronger monsters ahead can¡¯t handle me either. Go and find Miya.¡± Chu Qi waved his hand casually, not taking these small monsters seriously. As he searched through the forks one by one, Chu Qi encountered many dwarf shamans. They were all killed by the skeleton archer and Liang Yuan. Ding! Talent skill activated. Obtained 1 all-attribute point. Obtained passive skill [Snake Control]. [Controlling Snake] Skill Description: Can command wild snakes to help. One day, he might be able to use this support skill. Chapter 30 After walking past several forks, Chu Qi still couldn¡¯t find any trace of Miya. The dwarf demons on the road were also scattered, as if they had already been wiped out. The nether wolf beside Chu Qi suddenly arched its back, looking like it was about to fight. Footsteps came from the cave in front. ¡°Run, there are so many monsters. Ah!¡± Yan Luoran¡¯s voice sounded from ahead. Chu Qi felt his vision go black, and a soft body pressed down on him. His chest was pressed down so hard that he couldn¡¯t breathe. Caught off guard, a large group of dwarf demons that looked different from before rushed out. The huge number of them instantly caused Chu Qi to lose his footing. Liang Yuan had also disappeared. . Because of his body¡¯s reaction, Chu Qi subconsciously hugged Yan Luoran tightly. The girl in his arms trembled slightly. Chu Qi immediately used Flash and went to a rock wall. The group of dwarf demons that had just been there all disappeared, leaving only darkness. Beside him, only Yan Luoran remained. Liang Yuan had disappeared. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect my Flash to bring people with me.¡± Chu Qi, who was bringing people to flash for the first time, was still a little unused to it. However, he quickly accepted this advantage. The existence of this characteristic could bring great benefits to the battlefield. ¡°Wuah! What¡¯s down there? How terrifying!¡± Yan Luoran quietly raised her head and looked around. Before she could feel shy being hugged by Chu Qi, the scene below frightened her so much that she shrank back. Looking down, under the cover of this darkness, it was a scene that no one had ever seen before: One by one, people were lying in the huge pit below, their feet connected to their heads, and their incomplete arms stretched out from the gaps between the human bodies. Under the broken limbs and flesh were layers of white bones. Even Chu Qi, who had experienced the unprecedented battle ten years later, had never seen such a tragic scene. From the outside, he could see that there were at least nearly a thousand corpses. However, this was only a pit. Further in they would see these orderly and bottomless pitfalls. ¡°You just called me a pervert, and now you¡¯re lying in my arms?¡± Chu Qi said to Yan Luoran as he climbed down. Hearing this, Yan Luoran jumped out of Chu Qi¡¯s arms and even lifted his calf. Chu Qi lost control and fell to the ground. ¡°You¡¯re better than anyone at repaying kindness with enmity¡­¡± Chu Qi rubbed his fallen butt and complained. Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding air turned cold. The limbs and flesh in the surrounding corpse pits began to regenerate one by one. Then, palms of all sizes reached the ground beside the corpse pit. Zombie-like monsters crawled out and quickly occupied the entire underground cave. This was the strangest monster Chu Qi had ever encountered. There were at least a thousand monsters in front of him, but all of them had the same HP bar. [Abomination (Silver Overlord Stage)] Level: 25-30 Health: 654675 Attack Power: 13,340 Skills: Symbiosis, Split, Fusion [Symbiosis] Skill Description: As long as one of the corpses does not lose its mobility when the HP of the Abomination drops to zero, it will revive. Boss Introduction: The wills of thousands of corpses and souls are mixed together to form a strange lifeform. It clearly has multiple bodies, but it only has one will. No one knows if this is an evolution or mutation of humans. The level of these strange Overlord-level creatures was still uncertain, and their health points and attack power were ridiculously high. An unprecedented challenge had already arrived in front of Chu Qi. As he waved his staff, skeleton warriors and skeleton archers were summoned. When the surrounding corpses saw the creatures appear, they didn¡¯t care if they were alive or dead and directly pounced on them. -8649 -12500 The skeleton warrior held a shield in one hand and blocked the pouncing corpse. An arrow flew from behind and pierced the corpse¡¯s head. The skeleton warrior took this opportunity to stabilize its body. It raised the iron saber in its hand and then raised it to chop off the head of a corpse. The corpse flailed on the ground a few times and was temporarily motionless. Chu Qi looked at the health bar of the Abomination again. There was basically no change, but the number below the health bar had decreased a little. In just a while, the corpse that had just its head chopped off stood up again and continued to attack. The other corpses also woke up and pounced on Chu Qi¡¯s summoned creatures and Yan Luoran. Each corpse was a part of the Abomination. These corpses would always maintain their mobility before they died. Chu Qi had the protection of the summoned warriors, so there was no danger. However, Yan Luoran was different. As an ordinary swordsman, Yan Luoran could only constantly wave her Cold Iron Sword to prevent the monsters from getting close. Yan Luoran was covered in fragrant sweat. Her elegant sword technique was not as agile as when she was chasing after Chu Qi. Instead, it became trembling, and it looked like her stamina was exhausted. Seeing the surrounding corpses approaching, Yan Luoran finally had no choice but to call for help. ¡°Thug, come and help me. I can¡¯t handle it alone!¡± Chu Qi casually pointed, and a few nether wolves appeared beside him. The nether wolves were extremely fast, passing through the corpses and surrounding Yan Luo Ran. ¡°Don¡¯t run around. My nether wolves will help you clean up the surroundings.¡± In a few moves, an empty space was cleared, giving Yan Luo Ran time to catch his breath. ¡°What should we do next? How can we kill all these monsters one by one? We still have to kill all the corpses when the HP of the Abomination drops to zero.¡± Yan Luoran was still not the powerful commander she¡¯d become in the future. Facing this situation, she did not know what to do. ¡°It¡¯s fine. You just have to protect yourself.¡± Chu Qi still had a calm expression, as if he was never worried. He whispered words that others couldn¡¯t understand, and a black magic ball appeared in his hand. The black ball slowly floated forward. After hitting the corpse at the front, it split into two and split into two as it went inside. -12000 -24000 -48000 ¡­ -4,8640000! It was just a Death Soul Curse. Under the continuous splitting, it caused more than 40 million damage, with two-thirds of its HP. All the corpses at the scene fell to the ground and did not move. ¡°Oh! Wow, wow, wow. What kind of skill is this? It¡¯s too abnormal.¡± Yan Luoran¡¯s mouth opened wide in surprise as she exclaimed intermittently. ¡°It¡¯s just a small technique. Hurry up and recover. The boss isn¡¯t dead yet.¡± Chu Qi waved his hand in a very light and elegant manner. In a few seconds, the corpse on the ground squirmed again and regained its vitality. However, what Chu Qi did not expect was that the corpse¡¯s speed and resistance had increased by a large margin. The corpse that could have been killed with a single slash by the Skeletal Warrior now needed two or more slashes. Chapter 31 Chu Qi narrowed his eyes and his expression became serious. When he was dealing with the corpses one by one, he had already felt that they were becoming more and more difficult to deal with. It was just that the change was too gradual for him to notice. However, the increase in strength this time made him take it seriously. Now, he knew that every time a corpse fell, the other corpses would increase in strength. This time, thousands of corpses fell, and the number of corpses doubled. However, the current boss still had more than 20 million HP. If this continued, it would be impossible to resist. Suddenly, in a corpse pit, a strange corpse crawled up. She was dressed in a long robe, and one could faintly see that she was an old lady. The robe of the corpse was engraved with the words ¡°Necromancer¡±.. This should be her title. The body of the necromancer was not made of different corpses like the surrounding monsters. Instead, it was a complete human body. She slowly walked towards Chu Qi. No matter how Chu Qi commanded the surrounding skeleton warriors, they could not attack this corpse. Arriving in front of Chu Qi, the necromancer stretched out her finger. A gray fog surged out and rolled in the air, becoming bigger. In the end, it split into more than ten streams of mist that all attached to the skeleton warrior. ¡°Ding! Under an unknown influence, the skeleton warrior has begun to mutate¡­¡± ¡°Level of mutation: 5%¡­ 10%¡­ 25%¡­ 55 %¡­¡± ¡°65%¡­ 75%¡­ 89%¡­ 94%¡­ 99%¡­ 99%.¡± Before Chu Qi could figure out what was going on, the progress bar for the mutation stopped at 99. Immediately after, another gray fog appeared. It circled in the air twice before suddenly charging into Chu Qi¡¯s body. Its speed was so fast that Chu Qi didn¡¯t even have the chance to flash. ¡°Ding! Undead Lord Bloodline strengthened! Skill upgrade!¡± ¡°Ding! Level of mutation: 100%. Skeleton Warrior has been upgraded to Skeleton Knight.¡± ¡°[Summoning Skeleton Warrior (Iron Stage)] skill transformation, [Summoning Skeleton Knight (Silver Stage)].¡± [Summoning Skeleton Knight (Silver)] Skill Description: Summon two Skeleton Knights. The Skeleton Knights have higher mobility than the skeleton warriors and have a new skill: Forward Charge. Consumption: 3,000 Mana. Cooldown: 10 minutes. [Skeleton Knight] Health: 840000 Attack Power: 46,000 Skill: Charge Introduction: The evolved version of the skeleton warrior. It has higher health, damage, and mobility. Due to the invasion of the unknown gray fog, the Skeleton Knight has mastered an active skill. [Charge] Skill Description: Tighten the entire body, and the tip of the weapon will rely on the powerful momentum of the skeleton warhorse below you, causing tremendous damage. Damage is 2.5x Attack, and every 10 meters you move will have an additional 10% damage. Batches of skeleton warhorses slowly appeared under the skeleton warriors, and their bodies began to grow stronger. The originally white and weak skeleton gradually became sturdy, and a layer of metallic luster covered it. ¡°Wow, the thug¡¯s skeletons have grown bigger!¡± Yan Luoran could not help but cry out in surprise when she saw this change. Her small mouth was covered by her hand, and her shocked appearance was very cute. Chu Qi wanted to test the strength of this skeleton warrior after it evolved, so he immediately gave the order. ¡°Charge!¡± The skeleton warriors¡­ Now, it was time to get all the Skeleton Knights to get into formation. With their long spears aimed at the front, they charged together. -120000 -118099 -120900 ¡­ The eight skeleton knights¡¯ charge tore the corpses that had just stood up into pieces. The HP of the Abomination also decreased by a lot. Chu Qi calculated the damage and knew that the time was ripe. He immediately disbanded the Skeleton Knight. ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t disband these skeleton knights. If you disband, how are we going to fight so many corpses?¡± Yan Luoran saw Chu Qi¡¯s actions and was anxious. He wanted to beat Chu Qi up on the spot, and her face was red with anger. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I can kill this boss in seconds.¡± Yan Luoran suddenly remembered Chu Qi¡¯s abnormal skill. A black ball that was constantly splitting had lost two-thirds of the boss¡¯s health, so she closed his mouth and stopped talking. The black ball appeared in front of Chu Qi¡¯s finger again. It continued to grow from the size of a soybean until it was twice the size of the first time it was used! -28000 -56000 -112000 -224000 ¡­ -1,120,000! Because of the previous charge, less than half of the corpses were left on the field, so there were not many balls that the Death Soul Curse could split into. However, after being enhanced by the gray fog, the damage of the Death Soul Curse had more than doubled. The HP bar of the Abomination was instantly emptied, and all the corpses fell to the ground and stopped moving. ¡°Hu! It¡¯s beaten. It¡¯s finally over.¡± Yan Luoran took a deep breath and then sat on the ground. Clearly, the high intensity of fighting had made her mentally exhausted. Ding! Talent skill activated. Obtained 1 all-attribute point and passive skill [Symbiosis]. [Symbiosis] Skill Description: All summoned creatures will equalize the damage received by the Undead Lord. A portion of the damage received by the summoned creature will also be equalized by the Undead Lord. This technique was very similar to the Symbiosis of the Abomination. It had a similar effect. Chu Qi took a step closer to the corpses. Chu Qi smiled helplessly and continued to look at the equipment that had fallen. This boss had lost a lot of equipment, but most of it was incomplete. The only equipment that he could really use was an item called [Soul Ring (Silver)]. Soul Ring (Silver Stage) Intelligence :+166 Magic Attack :+3339 Special Feature 1: Skill Cooldown+20% Special Feature 2: Summoner Damage+20% Character 3: Own Skill [Soul Summon] [Summoning Soul] Skill Description: Summon 333 souls and continuously attack and harass the enemy. Each soul will cause 50 pure damage with each fixed attack. The attributes of the ring¡¯s interface were very normal, but the three characteristics were very suitable for Chu Qi. Chu Qi immediately equipped it. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on advancing to level 21. You have received 3 free stat points.¡± Chu Qi¡¯s level had been stuck at level 20 for a long time. After fighting this boss, he naturally rose to level 21. After sorting out a series of gains, Chu Qi continued to explore the surrounding environment, searching for traces of Miya. Yan Luoran had also been following behind Chu Qi. When she saw how Chu Qi easily got rid of a boss, she had already made up his mind to follow this thigh. ¡°Someone¡­ Someone save me!¡± Suddenly, cries for help sounded from ahead. The voices were extremely hoarse, and it was impossible to tell if they were male or female. Chu Qi and Yan Luoran looked at each other and immediately walked up. Chapter 32 Walking into a cave that was half blocked by a stone, Liang Yuan was tightly tied by a rope, and only his mouth could speak freely. Beside Liang Yuan was a young girl who was wearing the uniform of the city guard. If he guessed correctly, that girl was Miya, Chu Qi¡¯s mission target. Yan Luoran walked forward, the sword in her hands creating two sword shadows, and the ropes on the two of them were sliced. ¡°Are you one of the city guards? Great, let¡¯s run. There¡¯s a terrifying monster hiding here. Thousands of corpses! Let¡¯s go.¡± Miya had just stood up and ignored the red marks on her body from the rope. She pulled Chu Qi and Yan Luoran, who had come to rescue her, and was about to rush out. ¡°Wait for me, there¡¯s still me.. Don¡¯t forget me! I don¡¯t want to face that monster alone.¡± Liang Yuan saw that they were leaving and hurriedly said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Yan Luoran and I have already dealt with that monster over here.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It wasn¡¯t a problem for me to kill that monster.¡± Yan Luoran took the opportunity to say this with a very proud expression. This girl¡¯s skin was really thick. Chu Qi didn¡¯t say anything about Yan Luoran¡¯s miserable state at that time. After several twists and turns, the few of them finally walked out of this underground cave. The originally dark sunlight in the forest seemed to have become dazzling. ¡°Let¡¯s leave here. I¡¯ll return to report your rescue and reward you. This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it.¡± Miya took out a white necklace from her chest and handed it to Chu Qi. Then, she left alone. Chu Qi looked at the necklace in his hand [Magical Crystal Necklace (Silver)]. It was also a Silver Necklace. [Magic Crystal Necklace (Silver)] Intelligence :+56 Defense :+120 Special Feature: [Magic Shield] [Magic Shield] Skill Description: When you are injured, your mana will automatically resist the damage (50 mana points resist one point damage). Chu Qi opened his characteristic panel and looked at his current attributes. ID: Falling Dust Level: 21 Occupation: Undead Lord (Second Stage) Health: 86850 Mana: 6,0050 Magic Attack: 20040 Strength: 960, Agility: 960, Intelligence: 1560, Constitution: 960 Defense: 480 Critical Hit Chance: 10% Talent: [Soul Reaper (One)] Skill: [Summoning Skeleton Knight (Silver)] [Summoning Skeleton Archer (Bronze)] Summoning Strength: 180% 123,0000 / 256,0000 With Chu Qi¡¯s current attributes, it was enough to withstand 3,000 points of damage. This was the damage that the strongest attack of the current players could cause. Putting away the interface, he looked at the map. The nest of the Harpy Queen was on a mountain peak not far away. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Our next target is not far away.¡± ¡°What next target? I don¡¯t have those missions?¡± Yan Luoran was puzzled by this sentence. Chu Qi slapped his forehead. He had fought a boss with this girl, but he had yet to share the mission with her. As soon as the mission sharing was sent over, the originally quiet Misty Forest became noisy. ¡°Wow, such a difficult mission. How many have you completed?¡± ¡°What¡¯s this huge moving mushroom? Is it strong?¡± ¡°Is that the Harpy Queen where we¡¯re headed now?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t just keep quiet!¡± ¡­ Yan Luoran kept asking questions, buzzing in Chu Qi¡¯s ears. Liang Yuan, who was at the side, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Three huge mountains surrounded each other. In between them was Storm Valley, a place that was constantly swept by strong winds. This was also their destination. With the noise along the way, after a lot of things, Chu Qi finally arrived at the residence of the harpy. Large numbers of harpies flew around in the valley. The tearing wind almost blinded them. ¡°How are we supposed to fight in such a strong wind?¡± Chu Qi pondered silently, as if he was thinking about something. After thirty seconds or so of silence, Chu Qi led them out again. ¡°How about this? You guys guard outside. I¡¯ll go lure the Harpy Queen out. We¡¯ll fight together when we¡¯re out.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a row of skeleton knights riding skeleton warhorses appeared and charged in despite the intense wind. Chu Qi brought Yan Luoran and Liang Yuan to hide in the grass by the side, patiently waiting for the Harpy Queen to arrive. After an unknown period of time, a commotion came from the entrance of the valley. Chu Qi and the others immediately tensed up. The Harpy Queen had arrived! In the surrounding open space, strong winds instantly rose up. A few skeletons were scattered on the ground, and then a broken skeleton knight fell to the ground and turned into bone powder. Chu Qi was a little shocked. With his current abnormal attributes, the defense of the skeleton knight was already comparable to some small Bosses. However, it was still directly shattered by the Harpy Queen. It seemed that the Harpy Queen was even stronger than he had imagined. Swish! The ear-piercing scream almost broke Chu Qi¡¯s eardrums. He wanted to summon the skeleton knight, but nothing happened. When he looked at the skill icon, it had already turned black because of the scream. This Harpy Queen could actually silence his spells! ¡°You guys hold it off for a bit. I¡¯ve been silenced.¡± ¡°Me too. My mage has no more skills.¡± Liang Yuan was in the same predicament. Chu Qi felt a headache coming on. His strongest fighting strength was actually restricted by the other party. He had no choice but to let Yan Luoran take the hit first. Yan Luoran looked at these two unreliable teammates and helplessly charged over with her sword. At this moment, Chu Qi also looked at the attributes of the Harpy Queen. [Harpy Queen (Gold)] Level 30 Health: 2,560,000 Attack Power: 120000 Technique: Shriek, ?, ?, ?¡­ A level thirty boss. Chu Qi¡¯s mouth was a little dry, and the staff in his hand was a little unstable. Under the huge difference in level, it was difficult for Chu Qi to completely see the Harpy Queen¡¯s technique. Yan Luoran had already gone forward to welcome it. Her elegant sword techniques seemed exceptionally weak in front of this colossus. ¡°Damn it, are you guys done? I can¡¯t hold on any longer!¡± She tried her best to block the Harpy Queen¡¯s attack again. Yan Luoran was almost at her limit. The Harpy Queen spread open her wide wings, and a huge airflow surrounded the arena. Yan Luoran also fell to the ground in this environment. The Harpy Queen seized this opportunity and swept her huge hook claw over. Yan Luoran closed his eyes in despair. The strong wind slapped her face, causing Yan Luoran¡¯s fear to deepen step by step. Suddenly, the wind no longer slapped Yan Luoran¡¯s face. It seemed to have stopped. She opened her eyes and tall skeleton warriors stood in front of her. ¡°I¡¯m not late, am I? I¡¯m glad I made it.¡± Chapter 33 Chu Qi¡¯s words were like a star in the endless night. It was very simple but also very warm. Yan Luoran¡¯s impression of this person who had helped her out many times also began to change. ¡°Scared silly? You¡¯re a pretty cowardly princess.¡± Hearing Chu Qi¡¯s despicable words, black lines streaked across Yan Luoran¡¯s forehead. She, who had just changed her opinion, changed her mind again. Chu Qi was a hooligan. Without waiting for her to think too much, the battle had already begun between the Harpy Queen and the skeleton knight. Because of the constantly stirring wind in the arena, ordinary arrows were completely unable to approach the body of the Harpy Queen, so Chu Qi only summoned the Nether Wolf and the skeleton knight. In such an extreme environment, it was difficult for the Nether Wolf to even stand firm, let alone attack. . Chu Qi waved his hand helplessly and dismissed the nether wolves on the field. At this moment, the skeleton knights began to attack. The eight knights lined up and charged forward unstoppably. The charging figures of the eight people gathered into the illusory image of a long spear that was firmly pressed against the Harpy Queen¡¯s throat. Ding! The powerful shockwave tore through all the junk on the ground, but when the Harpy Queen was hit, the sound of steel colliding could be heard. 50000 The combined attack of the eight skeleton warriors only caused a mere 50,000 damage. Facing the other bosses, the damage would at least double. The Harpy Queen was enraged by this attack, and its huge wings shot toward all the enemies in front of it like steel needles. Chu Qi looked at the aura of the steel needle and thought to himself, Not good. This is not something we can resist. After two consecutive flashes, he entered the arena and pulled Yan Luoran away from the battle. The skeleton warriors instantly disappeared under the steel needles and iron feathers. The powerful might made Chu Qi¡¯s eyebrows jump. However, there was no other choice. He could only summon the skeleton warriors again and fight. The surrounding wind also gradually stopped. It seemed that this Harpy Queen also needed physical strength to maintain its powerful wind resistance. It no longer had much physical strength left. Chu Qi seized the opportunity and hurriedly summoned the skeleton archer, increasing his output under the buff effect of Flash. -1,208 ¨C -1229 -2808 -80000 (Bleeding) ¡­ Fortunately, the Harpy Queen¡¯s HP was not special. It had simply relied on its outstanding defense to resist most of the damage, and its HP was still reduced by a quarter. Coupled with the damage of the bleeding effect that ignored defense, the hope of defeating the Harpy Queen seemed to be right in front of him. Yan Luoran suddenly appeared in Chu Qi¡¯s field of vision and quickly ran towards the Harpy Queen. The Harpy Queen looked at the reckless human and steeled her feathers again, wanting to kill her. ¡°Is this girl crazy? I just saved her and now she¡¯s going to die?¡± Chu Qi looked at this person who had suddenly appeared and felt angry in his heart. However, his Flash had already entered a cooldown, and there was no way to save her. The steel needle and iron feather shot out at her. Chu Qi had already imagined the many ways she would die in his head. However, to his surprise, Yan Luoran advanced quickly and perfectly avoided the first wave of steel needles and iron feathers. Then, the sharp blade in her hand was unsheathed. Under the gorgeous saber and sword shadows, the feathers were scattered one by one. This feather had the power of a full-power attack from a Knight, and it was scattered by Yan Luoran one by one. ¡°How¡­ how is this possible?!¡± Liang Yuan was dumbfounded as he watched Yan Luoran¡¯s godly technique, which was like a demon lord descending from the heavens. At this moment, Chu Qi suddenly remembered the forum of an anonymous god in his previous life. The content on it was about how a swordsman parried damage. After the Boss attacked, watch the time when the attack would arrive. When the attack was about to hit its target, one would be able to parry the attack perfectly. When the damage was perfectly parried, not a drop of blood would drop. Not only would your HP not drop, but all the damage you blocked would also be reflected back at the boss, allowing even an instant kill to happen. Initially, this post was treated as a joke by all the players. It was completely impossible to react so quickly in a virtual game, so this post fell into the sea like a stone. Two years later, the post was uploaded again. Another anonymous player posted a video. The content of the video was that a female player perfectly blocked the boss¡¯s multiple attacks and reflected all the attack damage back, instantly killing the boss! And that female player¡¯s figure and Yan Luoran¡¯s current figure constantly overlapped in Chu Qi¡¯s eyes before finally becoming one. ¡°Yan Luoran is that¡­ anonymous swordsman!¡± Chu Qi muttered to himself, his eyes sluggish. At this moment, Yan Luoran had perfectly parried countless feather blades along the way with the sounds of metal clashing, all the way until she arrived in front of the Harpy Queen. At this moment, countless sword qi had already gathered on Yan Luoran¡¯s sword. These were all gathered by perfectly parrying. As the sword fell, a thousand-foot-tall qi aura flew out and ruthlessly struck the Harpy Queen¡¯s wings. -600,000! Blood fell to the ground, and a huge wing fell to the ground. The surrounding winds also became silent, and the sharp cries became incomparably weak. On the face of the Harpy Queen, Chu Qi could see a strong fear. It was afraid! Yan Luo turned around and realized that Chu Qi and Liang Yuan were looking at him in shock. Her face flushed red. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like I¡¯m a monster!¡± Chu Qi came back to his senses and hurriedly seized the opportunity to summon his summoned creature and frantically attacked. In her weakened state, the Harpy Queen¡¯s defense had been reduced by more than half, and all Chu Qi¡¯s damage was no longer reduced so heavily. -15000 -15000 -15000 ¡­ After three rounds of Charge, she had lost 10% of her HP. Now, the Harpy Queen only had 400,000 HP left. -1,2098 ¨C -12877 -10,888 The surrounding skeleton archers¡¯ arms were like machines as they shot arrows at the Harpy Queen¡¯s head like steel needles and iron feathers. 400,000 230000 160000 80000 ¡­ Ding! Talent skill activated. Obtained 1 attribute point for all attributes. Obtained passive skill [Wind Run]. [Wind Run] Skill Description: Wind Resistance+60%, Movement Speed+20% For some reason, Chu Qi had only been able to draw support skills recently. Ding! Experience received: 250,000, gold coins: 12,000. Chu Qi went forward to check the equipment that had fallen. A Gold Boss should be able to drop some good equipment, right? [Wind Eagle Sword (Gold)] Level: 25 Attack Power :+16000 Attack Speed :+20% Characteristics 1: [Wind Spirit] Skill Description: Summon countless Gale Fairies around and greatly increase the user¡¯s attack speed and movement speed. Special Feature :+30% Cut attribute Special Feature 3: Attack Damage Transformation to Wind Attribute Damage Character 4: [Trish¡¯s Blessing] Skill Description: Summon the shadow of the Wind God, Trish, and summon the Dragon of the Sky to destroy everything in front of it. (This equipment can evolve) A series of attributes almost blinded Chu Qi¡¯s eyes. Such abnormal equipment! Chapter 34 However, the equipment was a sword. Sword-type weapons could not be used by Chu Qi, the Undead Lord. Moreover, Chu Qi had a better main weapon. However, the only equipment that dropped was equipment that he couldn¡¯t use. Chu Qi was still very disappointed about this. Looking at Yan Luoran at the side, her eyes were blank, and her expression was very cute, as if she was in a completely different world from Chu Qi. ¡°Gold-grade main weapon, a swordsman¡¯s weapon. Do you want it?¡± Yan Luoran¡¯s eyes lit up. The word ¡°Gold¡± touched her greatly. She grabbed the corner of Chu Qi¡¯s clothes with both hands and hurriedly shouted, ¡°I want, I want! Give it to me, please?¡± This terrible speech made Liang Yuan on the other side cast a strange look at the two entangled people. . As if sensing that his actions had some hidden meaning, Yan Luoran blushed again. ¡°What a hooligan!¡± Chu Qi felt very aggrieved about this. He had only asked her if she wanted a weapon, yet he had become a hooligan. ¡°200,000 gold coins. Otherwise, I¡¯ll hang up the auction.¡± Chu Qi said with a black face. Yan Luoran stopped fooling around and looked at Chu Qi with tears in his eyes. ¡°Can you make it cheaper? I don¡¯t have that much money.¡± Such a swift change in attitude made Chu Qi not know how to face it for a moment. ¡°Why don¡¯t I be your fighter and you give it to me at a cheaper price?¡± Seeing that Chu Qi was unwilling to let go no matter what, Yan Luo continued to coax him, but the effect was still minimal. Yan Luoran directly hugged Chu Qi¡¯s thigh and begged with tears and snot. ¡°Brother Luochen, look at how much I¡¯ve sacrificed, how much I¡¯ve done, and how much I¡¯ve contributed to the team. Why don¡¯t you make it cheaper? I even gave you benefits.¡± The soft touch on his leg made Chu Qi¡¯s heart race, but after hearing the last sentence, he didn¡¯t hesitate to shake off Yan Luoran. ¡°Ouch!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you just looking for an excuse to call me a hooligan?¡± Chu Qi¡¯s face darkened even more, and he was even more speechless towards Yan Luoran. He ignored the situation behind him and directly walked towards the Werebear Tribe. ¡­ During the long journey, Yan Luoran never let Chu Qi off. She kept harassing and enticing him to give up the ownership of the Wind Eagle Sword. Finally, Chu Qi couldn¡¯t take it anymore and threw the Wind Eagle Sword to Yan Luoran. At the same time, he obtained a ¡°maid¡± who only knew how to call him a hooligan. ¡°Master, are we going to the Werebear Tribe now?¡± Yan Luoran pinched her throat and asked Chu Qi sweetly. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to stand being called master by such a beautiful girl. Chu Qi couldn¡¯t take it either, but he did because the person in front of him was Yan Luoran. ¡°Don¡¯t call me Master. Be normal!¡± Chu Qi rubbed his temples, feeling a little weak. ¡°We still have one more mission to complete. It¡¯ll take two days to reach the Bearman Tribe. Let¡¯s see if we can encounter them tonight.¡± Soon, the sunlight gradually dimmed, and the small animals that could be seen everywhere disappeared. Occasionally, a few black figures would appear in the surrounding forest. Chu Qi knew that this was the predator in the night. The final test was coming. The moon gradually filled the night sky, and the stars hanging low seemed to indicate a bad future. From time to time, panting sounds would come from the forest, making people feel as if the monster was right beside their ears, not daring to make a sound. Chu Qi and Yan Luoran surrounded Liang Yuan in the middle and looked at the forest on both sides to guard against any sudden attacks. Time passed bit by bit, and the location of the moon kept changing. It was already midnight. The distant city gate had already been closed, and the lights in the city had also been extinguished early. The pedestrians on the streets outside the city all rested steadily in the carriages. The outside world fell into dead silence, and the activity in the Misty Forest had just begun. The smell of blood continued to spread. Green plants that looked normal in the daytime also revealed their cruel nature as they hunted ignorant animals. In a place in the Misty Forest, countless black figures were surrounding the three humans, patiently waiting for their prey to make a mistake. The three people, who were also Chu Qi and the others, waited silently for nearly two hours. However, the monster in the dark of the forest did not come out. Chu Qi realized that if this continued, they would not be able to hold on for much longer, so he secretly walked between Yan Luoran and Liang Yuan. ¡°In a while, we¡¯ll pretend to faint because of exhaustion and rest. When the predator appears, I¡¯ll bring you out with Flash before fighting.¡± After saying this, Chu Qi lay on the ground. Seeing this, Liang Yuan and Yan Luoran also fell. Coincidentally, Yan Luoran lay on Chu Qi¡¯s hand. Feeling the touch on his chest, Yan Luoran¡¯s face was filled with fear and shyness, but for the sake of the mission, she didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Wu ~¡± The soft touch on his hand made Chu Qi subconsciously pinch it. Hmm¡­ it was quite interesting. Then, he immediately realized that he had touched a place he shouldn¡¯t have touched. The panting sound beside his ear confirmed this idea, and he stopped moving. The predators in the forest saw Chu Qi and the others fall and did not rush over immediately. Instead, they remained inside and did not move. Another 10 minutes passed, but there was still no movement from the forest¡­ Even the panting had disappeared. Could it be that the predators had already gone far? Suddenly, Chu Qi noticed that the soil around him had sunken in. He immediately realized that something was wrong. He clenched his fists and the two people around him flashed to the side. ¡°Ah!¡± Yan Luoran¡¯s vital parts were caught again, and her body almost went limp. Her face was incomparably red. However, the scene in front of her suppressed her anger. Around the place where they were lying previously, figures appeared from the darkness. More than twenty black cheetah-like creatures had already surrounded them with invisibility. The nearest one was less than a meter away from Chu Qi. At this moment, information about the monster also appeared. Chu Qi only took a look and his eyes almost popped out. [Predator (Gold)] Level: 25 Health: 200,000 Attack Power: 90000 Technique: Concealment, Tear, Soul of the Predators The effect of Concealment was invisibility, while Tearing was a debuff effect that had a chance to damage you whenever you moved. These were both small skills, and the last one was the core. [Soul of the Predators] Skill Description: The presence of an ally of each race increases the armor and attack power of the other allies by 2%. The most troublesome thing was the Soul of the Predators. More than twenty predators could rely on this skill to obtain a lot of enhancements. It was very difficult to deal with. Chu Qi didn¡¯t dare to hesitate. He summoned all his summoned beasts and blocked in front of him. Chapter 35 The surrounding predators disappeared again, disappearing from sight. Looking at the sunken marks on the ground, Chu Qi could tell that they were surrounding Chu Qi one by one. ¡°Face forward, charge!¡± Hearing Chu Qi¡¯s order, the skeleton knight directly picked up his lance and charged over. The powerful impact sent many predators flying along the way, and they all reappeared. -6098 -6865 -6,998 ¡­ Damage appeared on the predator¡¯s head one after another. Under the enhancement of the Soul of the Predators, the charging damage of the Skeleton Demon Knight was very low. . Fortunately, this charge and the shockwave caused damage to all the predators. The predators at the back saw the unstoppable aura of the Skeleton Warriors in front of them and began to dodge. One of the head monsters among the predators even slapped a Skeleton Knight to death the moment it dodged. [Predator Leader (Gold Elite)] Level: 25 Health: 250000 Attack Power: 120000 Skill: Concealment, Tearing, Soul of the Predators, Protection of the Ancestor The leader who had been hiding in the beast group also revealed his body shape. His HP did not increase much compared to ordinary predators, but his attack power had increased greatly. He also had a skill that did not have any effect. Darkness Mark, Death Soul Curse! -18000 -8000 -8000 ¡­ As a human, Chu Qi knew very well that to capture the leader, one had to capture the leader first. Under Chu Qi¡¯s lead, the skeleton archers beside him shot three consecutive arrows at the leader. -6098 -7898 ¨C 7689 ¡­ The Leader of the Predators, who originally only had 250,000 HP, suddenly only had 180,000 HP left. Yan Luoran also understood Chu Qi¡¯s meaning. Relying on her martial arts foundation from a young age, she avoided all the monsters. The Wind Eagle Sword in his hand also pierced into the leader¡¯s eye socket. 9087 -16000 (Cut) ¡°Roar!¡± The roar of the Leader of the Predators echoed throughout the entire open space. The surrounding predators no longer hid themselves and pounced towards Chu Qi one by one. Skeleton Knight! The sharp claws of a predator were about to tear off Chu Qi¡¯s head. At the critical moment, the Skeleton Warrior appeared in front of him and blocked this attack, but more than half of its HP was gone. Chu Qi¡¯s heart was full of shock. If this attack hit him, he probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to withstand it. Ring-shaped flames flashed behind Chu Qi, and the surrounding predators that were about to pounce on him were all pushed away. 3087 ¡°Ring of Fire!¡± Looking at Liang Yuan in front of him, Chu Qi finally revealed a gratified smile. ¡°Not bad, you finally did something, Liang Yuan.¡± ¡°Stop talking. This skill of mine has a cooldown of five minutes. Run.¡± Hearing this, Chu Qi immediately grabbed Liang Yuan and flashed to another open space. He was already summoning his skeleton knights to block the front. ¡°I have no choice. Let¡¯s try this skill. Summon the Poisonous Spider!¡± With the addition of more than a thousand Intelligence Points from Chu Qi, more than 20 poisonous spiders crawled out from all directions. Although it only had a little basic attack power, the poisonous pool created after the death of the Venomous Spider could cause 30 points of pure damage every second. In this dense group of enemies, it could cause quite a bit of damage. Green poisonous pools bloomed on the ground, and constant damage rose from the predators. -30-30-30-30¡­ Although it was only 30 drops of damage, it had already covered the entire scene. Chu Qi had also given up on attacking and was moving around in the scene, avoiding the predator¡¯s attacks. 60,000¡­ 30000¡­ 14,000¡­ Ding! Talent skill activated. You have received 1 attribute point for all attributes. You have received passive skill Tearing. [Rip] Skill Description: There is a 15% chance of triggering a negative tearing effect, causing the enemy to suffer (Intelligence x2) damage every 10 meters they move. After dozens of minutes, all the predators fell to the ground, and only the Leader of the Predators remained standing. The remaining Leader of the Predators seemed to have sensed the approaching danger and began to roar uneasily. Skeleton knights appeared from the ground and stood in formation. Three skeleton archers appeared behind them. -6,997 -6,887 7887 ¡­ Nine arrows flew out and nailed to the leader¡¯s hind legs. The horn for counterattack sounded. The war horse under the skeleton knight panted heavily as its heavy hooves charged forward with an unstoppable force. -12007 -12876 ¡­ The predator was sent flying by the powerful impact, and its body became blurry. ¡°You like gang fights, right? Your underlings are all dead. Let¡¯s see how arrogant you can be!¡± Yan Luoran held the Wind Eagle Sword in his hand and continued to stab and slash, dealing damage to the Leader of the Predators. 150000¡­ 130000¡­ 100,000¡­ The leader¡¯s health quickly fell to 100,000. If this continued, he would die sooner or later. The Leader of the Predators also understood his situation, so he escaped into the shadows and retracted his figure. Under these circumstances, it wouldn¡¯t leave. Even if it left this place, it would still lose its right to speak after losing its underlings in the Misty Forest. It might as well take revenge. Chu Qi looked around warily, constantly on guard. Even if the Leader of the Predators had very little HP, its powerful attack still existed, and it could still instantly kill Chu Qi. [Tear] A series of damage numbers appeared around the place where the predator had disappeared. Chu Qi smiled. The damage he had done before summoning had triggered the tearing effect. With this effect, he didn¡¯t need to see to know where it was. The Leader of the Predators also knew that his figure had been exposed, so he increased his speed and continued to approach. -1065 -1065 -1065 ¡­ Damage numbers continued to appear on the Leader of the Predators. The faster it went, the more damage it suffered. The Leader of the Predators urgently wanted to capture Chu Qi and destroy this man who made it suffer. Chu Qi realized the danger and directly pulled Liang Yuan to teleport away, leaving behind the furious Leader of the Predators. It crouched down on the spot and twitched continuously. Blood vapor rose from its body continuously. From the beginning of the battle until now, he had only used three of his four skills. As for the Protection of the Ancestor that looked like a sure-kill technique, it had been left behind. Crimson blood energy gathered to form the illusory image of a giant wolf. Under its feet, the thick ground began to slowly crack, revealing its powerful strength. However, at the same time, the leader¡¯s body was not feeling good either. Under the powerful pressure, blood kept spurting out, and its muscles were deformed from the pressure. Its health had also fallen to 5,000! This was probably why he had never used this skill. With such a powerful side effect, even if he killed the enemy, he would still die. The giant wolf phantom waved its claws and tore through all the trees along the way. Chu Qi¡¯s health bar instantly fell to zero and turned to dust. Yan Luoran and Liang Yuan were also completely dead. The fear on their faces only lasted for a second before they turned into dust and dissipated. Chapter 36 The human in front of him was finally dead. The leader of the predators lowered his body weakly and greedily sucked in the fresh air around him. This was the first time it felt that living was such a wonderful thing. Even the forest that had lived for thousands of years had changed. White light actually appeared in the night sky. White¡­ light? The Leader of the Predators thought that he was hallucinating after a long battle, but the white light in front of him grew brighter and brighter. At this moment, the Leader of the Predators had already realized that something was wrong, but it was already too late. Seven to eight bone arrows shot out from the white light and accurately hit the leader¡¯s head. -6,976! The Leader of the Predators¡¯ health bar also dropped to zero at this moment, and some white balls of light erupted from his corpse. Ding! Talent skill activated.. All stat points obtained: 1. Passive skill [Poison] obtained. [Soul of the Predators] Skill Description: For every summoned object, the attack, armor, and health of the summoned object will increase by 5%. Chu Qi walked forward to check the equipment and materials that had fallen. His eyes lit up. ¡°Isn¡¯t this a material that can only be dropped by a Level 60 Berserk Beast?¡± On his hand, a pitch-black claw was lying quietly. [Corrupted Claw] Material Item Item description: Only creatures that have fallen into the darkness will possess the power of degeneration. The claws corroded by the power of degeneration are actually the main material to make the Sacred Spirit Potion. The Sacred Spirit Potion was one of the materials needed for the final stage of the Class Advancement and was also the most difficult to obtain material. In his previous life, countless people had spent countless efforts for the holy Sacred Spirit Potion. However, now, Chu Qi had only completed a mission and obtained the main material. Putting this material in his bag, Chu Qi looked happily at the next piece of equipment. [Stalker Feet (Gold)] Level: 25 All Attributes :+300 Armor :+30 Special Feature :+30% Movement Speed Special Feature 2: Receive the active skill Concealment [Concealment] Skill Description: Entering the concealment form and obtaining invisibility. Duration: 5 minutes. Cooldown: 8 minutes Special Feature 3: Increases movement speed and 20% damage in the night. Special Feature 4: Bloodthirsty Halo [Bloodthirsty Halo] Skill Description: All allies within a 50-meter radius will have+25% Life-Steal effect. The rewards just kept coming one after the other. The successive surprises made Chu Qi wonder if the god of luck had taken a fancy to him. Gold shoes could bring about a huge enhancement to Chu Qi. Just the basic all-attribute enhancement was ridiculously high. There was even less of a need to talk about the other two powerful active skills. With the Bloodthirsty Halo and Chu Qi¡¯s Bloodthirsty Skill, the powerful blood-sucking effect allowed the skeleton knights to become the most troublesome warriors on the battlefield. Not only did Concealment perfectly replace the effect of Vanishing Step, but its duration was also greatly increased. At the same time, Yan Luoran ran over with Liang Yuan. Her face was already covered in sweat, and she was clearly very anxious. ¡°Damn, Falling Dust, how did you do it? How did you survive such a powerful attack?¡± Yan Luoran looked at Chu Qi standing in place unscathed and was full of surprise. Liang Yuan also could not close his mouth. ¡°Brother Chu, aren¡¯t you a Summoner? Why are Summoners so tanky?¡± Chu Qi casually arranged his hair and sighed as he looked at the distant horizon. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because the Leader of the predators found me too handsome and couldn¡¯t bear to hurt me.¡± ¡°Damn, shameless.¡± ¡°Your skin is getting thicker, Brother Chu.¡± Liang Yuan and Yan Luoran were speechless when they heard this answer. Only Chu Qi could say such a shameless answer. Ding! Completed mission [Armite¡¯s Trial]. Received 700,000 EXP and 10,000 gold coins. A notification sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. The rich experience reward made Yan Luoran and Liang Yuan jump several levels in a row, all of them reaching level 25. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on advancing to level 21. You have received 3 free stat points.¡± 700,000 experience points might be a lot for others, but for Chu Qi, it was only enough for him to level up. However, Chu Qi was very satisfied with this. Immediately after, all kinds of notifications sounded separately in Chu Qi¡¯s ear. This was a reward that the person who shared the mission could not obtain. Ding! Received Legendary equipment [Holy Spirit Wings], Gold-tier set [Fog Feather Crown], [Fog Robe], and [Fog Legguard]. We¡¯re rich, we¡¯re rich. A set of Gold equipment and this Legendary Equipment almost blinded Chu Qi¡¯s eyes. Chu Qi couldn¡¯t even control his eyes as he revealed a perverted smile. ¡°It¡¯s over. Falling Dust became a pervert again!¡± When Yan Luoran saw this, a chill ran down her spine, especially when she saw that perverted smile. ¡°What are you calling me? I¡¯m just too happy. I¡¯m not a pervert.¡± Chu Qi also realized that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly closed his mouth to suppress the joy in his heart and turned to look at the equipment introduction. [Holy Spirit Wings (Legendary-Grade accessory)] All Attributes :+300 Health Points :+5,000 All Speed+20% Special Feature 1: Damage to Undead-type creatures+35% Special Feature 2: [Holy Spirit Flame] Skill Description: Consumes 10% of your health every second, pure damage equal to your appearance. Special Feature 3: Skill Cooldown ¨C 30% Special Feature 4: Increase summoned by 20% Special Feature 5: Sage Mode Skill Description: No desires, no flaws. Gain 100% Attack Speed bonus Gain 100% increased damage (can be shared) Obtain Flight He obtained 100% critical attack and magic critical strike. Duration: 30 seconds. After ending, Health Points are locked at 1 point for 5 minutes. Legendary equipment had five characteristics! The basic attributes were to increase all attributes! Chu Qi felt that his breathing gradually became difficult. The two techniques, Holy Spirit Flame and Sage Mode, attacked Chu Qi¡¯s endurance like a flood. Even though the side effects were very harsh, it also gave Chu Qi an extremely strong ability to fight back, so much so that he could kill the Leader of the Predators by himself in 10 seconds. He lowered his head and continued to look at the Gold Set. [Fog Set] Health Points :+3000 Intelligence :+180 Magic Attack :+9800 Special Feature 1: Ignore the Blinding effect. Special Feature 2: The number of summoned creatures+1 Special Feature 3: Summoning Strength+30% Special Feature 4: Skill Cooldown ¨C 25% ¡­ After changing into these pieces of equipment, Chu Qi¡¯s attributes reached an unprecedented height. Though, his skills¡¯ cooldowns had actually reached 60% of the game¡¯s maximum value. As for his various attributes, they had all broken through the 1000 mark. The attributes that ordinary players could only obtain when they reached level 50 and advanced to a high-level occupation, Chu Qi now had them. His Intelligence had also reached more than 2000. Ding! Full-service notification: Player [Falling Dust] ¡®s all attributes have broken through 1,000 points. He has received the title [Attribute Master]. Stats swap system has been activated. The different jobs in ¡°Infinite Worlds¡± had different main and secondary attributes. They also had additional attributes that were useless for the player¡¯s current job. The attribute replacement system was a way for these players to reasonably arrange their attributes. In his previous life, this system had only been activated when most people were at level 50. Now, it had been activated a year in advance by Chu Qi. Chapter 37 When an elite player in the Teddy Bear Nation heard this news, he stopped farming. ¡°Wait, how could someone be so fast? Did the loophole in the game get discovered?¡± At the same time, he received a call. The roar was almost deafening. ¡°Dammit! He was a step ahead of you. Stop f*cking training. It¡¯s useless. Go increase your combat strength.¡± Charles had long received orders from his boss to increase all his attributes to 1,000 points before everyone else. In order to reach 1,000 attribute points, Charles stayed in the gaming capsule every day and night. He was carried by different people to complete missions every day. . Now that he had reached level 35, he was ahead of all the players and above them. However, there was still a level 15 gap between him and all his attributes. Charles had originally expected that in two months, he would be the number one person in the world. Unexpectedly, a player named [Falling Dust] had disrupted Charles¡¯ rhythm and forcefully increased all his attributes to 1,000 points. Charles felt terrible. He had been working hard since the launch, but he was still no match for others. ¡­ Chu Qi looked at the title [Attribute Master]. Surprisingly, the effect of this title was exceptionally good. [Attribute Master] Title Effect: All attributes will be increased by 2%. Although this increase was small, it was significant when used on Chu Qi¡¯s attributes. After continuing to distribute the remaining spoils of war, Chu Qi officially walked towards the Werebear Tribe. The various wild creatures along the way seemed to know that this group of adventurers had killed the three big shots of the Misty Forest, and none of them dared to block the way. From time to time, a few small animals would come out of the bushes by the roadside to secretly watch. Occasionally, a few fierce beasts would appear on the road ahead. They would also flee in all directions the moment they saw Chu Qi and the others. Just like that, Chu Qi led Yan Luoran and Liang Yuan on a day of continuous travel and arrived at the Werebear Tribe without any obstructions. At the entrance of the bearman tribe, a bearman the size of a building was already waiting. ¡°Human challengers, I am under orders to welcome you here. Follow me into your resting place.¡± Hearing this, Chu Qi followed the giant bear man without stopping and arrived in front of a wooden house. Pushing open the door, the short and thin Werebear Tribe priest was already waiting inside. ¡°I know your goal. Rest for a day. You will have three duels tomorrow. If you win two, we will form an alliance.¡± After saying that, the Bearman Priest left. Chu Qi lay on the bed and went offline. ¡­ After five days and five nights of gaming life, Chu Qi¡¯s body was incomparably weak. Even with the nutritional fluid in the gaming capsule, Chu Qi still couldn¡¯t stand it. Shaking, he got up and climbed onto his bed. He fell asleep groggily without even taking a shower. The next day, dazzling sunlight shone in through the window. The intense hunger made Chu Qi unable to continue sleeping. Trembling, he sat up on the bed. The empty room was exceptionally cold. He got off the bed and went to the washroom. Chu Qi washed up simply and walked out of the house with his phone. It was already three in the afternoon, and there were not many people in ordinary restaurants at this time. Chu Qi wandered around, searching for a place to eat his fill. Finally, he entered the fast food restaurant in the rich neighborhood. As soon as he sat down, the service staff ran over with the menu. Even though Chu Qi was still wearing cheap clothes, it did not stop the service staff¡¯s enthusiasm. ¡°Sir, what dishes do you need? This is our menu. Please take a look.¡± The waiter¡¯s face was filled with a stiff smile. The fast food restaurant in the wealthy area had trained the service to the maximum. ¡°Just get something to eat.¡± ¡°Alright, please wait a moment.¡± The wind chime at the door sounded, and an oval-shaped person walked in. His face was covered in luxury goods. From his attire, he looked like a rich kid. Chu Qi glanced at him and felt that this person was a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. As if sensing Chu Qi¡¯s gaze, the rich kid also looked at Chu Qi. With just one look, the rich kid¡¯s expression kept changing. Then, he quickly walked to Chu Qi¡¯s side. Chu Qi didn¡¯t know what was wrong with this person. He had never provoked such a person before, yet he had inexplicably attracted the attention of others. Seeing the son of a rich family¡¯s huge body, Chu Qi was a little worried about whether he could win if they fought. He quickly thought of various routes to escape. The rich man placed his hands on the wooden board. His already flushed face became even redder, and his expression was extremely excited. ¡°You are, Falling Dust? You¡¯re Brother Falling Dust, right? I recognized you at a glance!¡± Everyone in the restaurant was attracted by this shout, and the waiter walked over in time. ¡°Sorry, sir. This is a public place. Please watch your volume.¡± The rich kid nodded resentfully and then sat opposite Chu Qi. ¡°Who¡­ are you? You look familiar, but I really can¡¯t remember where I¡¯ve seen you before.¡± Chu Qi had no idea what this rich kid was talking about. ¡°I, I, ah, we went to the dungeon together. It was that Undead Cave. We went through it together. Did you forget?¡± The rich man¡¯s face was still full of anticipation, eager for the person in front of him to remember who he was. ¡°Wind¡­ Wind Whisper!¡± Chu Qi pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of this rich young master¡¯s identity. ¡°Yes, Brother. It was all thanks to you that I was able to establish my prestige among the players after getting the first clear. Now, my guild is already one of the top ten guilds in the entire server, the largest three-man guild.¡± ¡°Since I¡¯ve met you here, I¡¯ll have to treat you to a good meal today. I¡¯ll take you to a good restaurant. Don¡¯t eat this lousy fast food anymore.¡± After obtaining the answer he wanted, Wind Whisper¡¯s happy expression and mood were completely released. Even though his voice had already affected most people, he did not suppress his volume. Without waiting for Chu Qi¡¯s reply, he pulled him out and ran out to sit in his own luxurious car. ¡°I just ordered food¡­ Did you come to the fast food restaurant just to find me? How did you know I lived nearby?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ Damn, I was so happy. I forgot what I came here for. Brother, wait for me.¡± Wind Whisper had just gotten into the car when he heard Chu Qi¡¯s question. He suddenly remembered why he had come to the fast food restaurant and hurriedly ran out. After five minutes, Wind Whisper ran back, panting. He had a fast food bag in his hand. Chapter 38 ¡°What are you doing? Making yourself food for supper?¡± Chu Qi¡¯s words made Wind Whisper pause for a moment, and then he returned to normal and answered, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re underestimating my wealth a little. If I wanted to eat supper, people would be fighting to snatch these snacks and bring them to me. I only bought this for my sister. She insisted on eating fast food. I had no choice.¡± As he spoke, Wind Whisper took out two bottles of beer from the fridge in the luxurious car and handed one to Chu Qi. ¡°Come and try it. It¡¯s pure raw beer. It¡¯s delicious.¡± Wind Whisper said as he took a sip. ¡°Where are you taking me? I just ordered some food and was pulled out by you before I could pay..¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I want to nag, Brother. You¡¯re being too polite. You¡¯ve helped me so much, but I still haven¡¯t been able to find you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare for me to see you here today. I¡¯ll bring you to a good place. Let¡¯s go to a barbecue shop on Bin Hai Avenue. The taste there is really good. The meat on my body is usually thanks to that shop.¡± Soon, the car stopped and he opened the door. The scene of the waves reaching the sky and the rippling blue waves appeared in his eyes. There were rain sheds on the white beach, and countless people were waiting to eat barbecue. The scene could already be imagined how popular this restaurant¡¯s business was. The signboard of the barbecue shop appeared in front of Chu Qi¡¯s eyes. Ice Sea BBQ. The name was very ordinary but had an incomparably great reputation. Chu Qi had browsed the Internet many times and found some socialites coming to eat here. Ignoring the long line in front of them, Wind Whisper brought Chu Qi out and walked straight in. The security guards at the door did not stop them. It seemed that they all knew Wind Whisper. Along the way, he followed Wind Whisper¡¯s footsteps. Without needing to think, he had already arranged seats and dishes. Twenty minutes later, Chu Qi and Wind Whisper finished their meal and returned to the car to prepare to go back. Chu Qi planned to take a short nap, and was sleeping in the car in no time. The city at night was very quiet. In this quiet environment, there were often unexpected dangers. A strong braking sound could be heard. Wind Whisper directly flipped off the car and fell down the aisle on the road. ¡°Brother Falling Dust, are you alright? Damn driver, do you know how to drive¡­¡± Wind Whisper looked up and was about to scold the driver, but his mouth was covered by the scene in front of him. The windshield of the driver¡¯s seat in front of him had shattered into pieces, and fresh blood was flowing down the backrest. Wind Whisper retrieved two air guns from the alley before coming back. He opened the car door and brought Chu Qi to hide in the alley. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve involved you in something today. We were chased down!¡± Wind Whisper left one of the air guns to Chu Qi and watched the commotion outside. ¡°I¡¯ll leave this air gun for you to protect yourself. This is the most powerful weapon I can get. We¡¯re very strict here. The other party probably stole a gun from overseas.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll hold them back immediately. Run quickly. I don¡¯t want a burden by my side!¡± After saying this, Wind Whisper ran towards the other side, and the people chasing him outside followed. ¡°Big Bro, weren¡¯t there two people just now? Didn¡¯t you care about the other one?¡± One of the people covered in black clothes realized that Chu Qi had disappeared and asked the tallest person among the pursuers. This person should be the boss of the pursuers. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Our mission is to kill this fatty.¡± ¡­ The road in the alley was narrow and complicated, and it was still covered in darkness. Even if the pursuers kept shooting, it was useless. Instead, it was Wind Whisper who relied on his years of training to continuously counterattack and kill three or four pursuers. After two or three turns, only five pursuers were left behind. However, Feng Zhiyi¡¯s counterattack ended there. The alley had gradually become wider, and the road had become neater. As a result, there were fewer places to hide. Bang! The gun with the silencer was still exceptionally loud on this quiet night. The bullet spun at high speed, accompanied by the sound of flesh being pierced, and it ruthlessly pierced through Wind Whisper¡¯s left leg. Wind Whisper, who was still fleeing, was brought to the ground by the intense impact and rolled twice. Sitting on the ground, he spat fiercely, his eyes filled with ferocity. However, the air gun had already fallen to the ground five meters away from him. ¡°Dammit! Trash, didn¡¯t you just want to kill me? Come, don¡¯t even think about returning alive after coming to this place!¡± The pursuers didn¡¯t respond and just quietly walked forward. When they arrived in front of Wind Whisper, the leader squatted down and took out a picture from his chest to compare it with Wind Whisper. ¡°Target confirmed. Kill him.¡± The pursuers on both sides raised their guns and aimed at Wind Whisper. ¡°I¡¯ve lived an illustrious life! Even if I die by dogs, cheers!¡± The cold tone of the pursuer made it sound as if he was killing an ant. Wind Whisper closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death. Before the gun could be fired, a gust of wind was heard. Two white bone arrows shot down from above and directly pierced the heads of the two gunmen at the side. ¡°Who are you?! You¡¯re making an enemy of the Red Wolf Organization. Get lost if you don¡¯t want to die!¡± Another two arrows attacked and killed two other pursuers with guns. The leader hurriedly hid under a roof and vigilantly observed his surroundings. Finally, on the roof about 300 meters away, two humanoid creatures were standing. ¡°How is this possible! How can a bow and arrow be so accurate from so far away? He¡¯s an expert!¡± ¡°Senior! We are doing things with money. I hope you won¡¯t make things too difficult for us. Our Red Wolf Organization still has some strength.¡± Seeing that he was no match for the distant expert, the leader could only use the organization behind him as a shield. However, the only answer he got was the sound of arrows tearing through the air. ¡°Bang! Bang!¡± The huge sound of collision lit up all the lights on the next floor. The two bows and arrows passed through the stone roof. The roof was also filled with cracks. It seemed like it wouldn¡¯t last long. The leader made a prompt decision. He took out the gun at his waist and rolled forward. Without looking up, he shot several times at the spot where he had seen the figure until the magazine was empty. When he looked over again, there was no longer anyone there. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. At this moment, the sharp bone arrow pierced into the leader¡¯s neck from behind, accompanied by another sentence. ¡°Your lifespan is up!¡± Chapter 39 The leader of the pursuers had never seen that expert even until his death. He lost his consciousness as he realized the fearful power of this country. Wind Whisper, who was lying on the side, witnessed the entire process. The bow made of bones was clearly the ability of Chu Qi¡¯s profession in the game. However, he did not understand why Chu Qi could use this ability in the real world. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re strong. How can you use a game skill?¡± Wind Whisper was both grateful and surprised. This was the first time he had seen someone bring out their abilities from the game. After a while, he began to imagine how heroic he would be after obtaining the ability in the game. ¡°Stop smiling like an idiot. I don¡¯t know how I can use the ability in the game.. Perhaps something strange happened. Now that I¡¯ve displayed my ability, it¡¯s not convenient for me to leave with you. Quickly call someone to save you. I¡¯ll guard you around.¡± Chu Qi slapped Wind Whisper on the head, interrupting his imagination. Then, he continued to hide in the darkness. Regarding the ability that appeared on his body, Chu Qi did not dare to expose it too early. As for Wind Whisper, he took out his phone and called for backup. In just five minutes, Chu Qi saw more than ten cars stop outside the alley. A few teams of fully armed people crawled out and searched this alley. Soon, Wind Whisper was found and brought back. Chu Qi also returned home as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. As soon as he lay on the bed, he felt an irresistible sleepiness. The side effects of using magic in the real world were all revealed at this moment. Chu Qi fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up from the shower, the sun was still slowly setting. He slept for more than ten hours. Ding! The bank card has reached one million yuan. The sound of a message notification came from his phone. Chu Qi also saw a message from an unknown number. ¡°Brother, thank you for your help today. There have been a lot of people coming to kill me recently, so I can¡¯t thank you in person. Take this one million as a thank you gift.¡± It was from Wind Whisper. After Chu Qi replied, he entered the gaming capsule. The ability that suddenly appeared in the real world¡­ The answer to all this still had to be found in the game world. He did not know if this early power was good or bad. After entering the game world, he returned to the small house of the Werebear Tribe where he had gone offline back then. The Bearman Priest perhaps sensed the commotion of Chu Qi¡¯s return and walked in. ¡°Human warrior, today is the beginning of the trial. Follow me to the arena.¡± Chu Qi followed behind the priest and arrived at the largest building in the bearman tribe. The Werebear Race respected martial arts. This arena was their biggest and most popular building. The inner clan of the arena had 128 arenas that could be provided for the warriors of the Werebear Tribe to fight. It was only early in the morning. As soon as Chu Qi entered, he saw that many people had already started fighting with their fists on their bodies. Only a race that advocated martial power would be filled with powerful clansmen. ¡°All members of the Werebear Tribe, leave the arena. Everyone, go to the audience seats. The human warrior is coming to participate in the trial. Everyone, watch and learn.¡± All the Bearman warriors present became excited when they heard this. The humans had come to challenge them. This was a scene that was rarely seen in thousands of years. Under the signal of the priest, Chu Qi stood in the ring. Then, the three Werebear Tribe warriors stood in the waiting area. The cheers immediately soared. This was the excitement of the Werebear Race. ¡°Destroy this weak human and make him afraid to come back!¡± ¡°Tear his butt into four pieces!¡± ¡°The Werebear Tribe is invincible!¡± ¡°The strength of the Werebear Tribe is unparalleled!¡± ¡­ The bearman warriors had just gone on stage and the battle had yet to begin when the arena was already filled with cheers. And the weak Chu Qi didn¡¯t have anyone to support him. Even Yan Luoran and Liang Yuan, who had come to the bearman tribe with him, had disappeared. ¡°Ding! Battle begins!¡± With the sound of a bell, the battle officially began. ¡°Ding! You have received the mission [Trial of Strength]. Damage 60% of Mozari¡¯s maximum health.¡± The first to go on stage was Mozari. This was the trial of strength, and Mozari was the strongest member of the Werebear Race. Chu Qi did not hesitate. He directly summoned eight skeleton knights and stood in front of him. The skeleton knights all assumed their positions, planning to use their strongest move in their first attack. The charging battle array would quickly gather together, and the shadow of the long lance seemed exceptionally powerful. However, Mozari did not dodge. He suddenly took a deep breath, and the muscles on his body swelled up his clothes like steel. Chu Qi immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to resist this attack head-on. The muscular bear roared into the sky and rushed towards the spear. Clang! 50876 The charge launched by the eight skeleton knights was actually forcefully resisted by Mozart with his body alone. It even seemed like he was about to be pushed back. Chu Qi quickly adjusted his mentality and no longer underestimated the opponent. He summoned the nether wolves and the skeleton archers. Then, he stood to the side to help attack. -6086 -5,897 -4788 ¨C For some reason, the attacks of the skeleton archers dealt less and less damage to Mozari. Chu Qi looked at Mozari¡¯s attributes. [Mozari (Trial of Strength) Gold] Level 25 Health: 600,000 Damage: 5,000 Skill: Rock, Endurance [Rock] Skill Description: The ability brought by the heart of a rock is unable to be affected by any debuff state and is immune to any control skills. [Endure] Skill Description: The same attack will reduce damage by 10% after each attack, up to 50%. [Divine Descent] Skill Description: Receive the blessing of the bear god, increase your body size by 30%, increase your defense by 500, and obtain 30% damage reduction. He only had two skills for a level 25 Gold Stage creature. Both of them had defensive attributes. Chu Qi now understood why the mission only needed to reduce Mozzari¡¯s health to 40% to be considered a victory. With this powerful attribute and technique, Chu Qi felt that even if it took a day, it would be very difficult to cause so much damage. -3088 -3878 -3298 The attack of the skeleton archer had already decreased to 3,000 damage, and only 21% of Mozart¡¯s HP had been lost. Darkness Mark, Death Soul Curse! Chu Qi had no choice but to throw out all his skills. -13008 -13986 Before being affected by Endurance, the first attack was still quite impressive. Summon the Poisonous Spider! Thousands of spiders crawled out of the ground and ran to Mozzari¡¯s feet. Dark green venom covered the entire arena. -30 ¨C 30 ¨C As it continued to wear down, two hours later, Mozari¡¯s HP was reduced to 50%. Chapter 40 It would be done soon, with 10% of HP left before he reached the mission requirements. Victory was right in front of him, and the corner of Chu Qi¡¯s mouth was crazily raised. He had not thought that this difficult battle would end so soon. However, Mozari stopped fighting the skeleton knight. He turned around and knelt on the ground, his hands reaching into the sky as if he was praying. Chu Qi didn¡¯t believe that he would give up resisting just like that. Suddenly, a bad feeling surged into Chu Qi¡¯s heart. The huge bear figure in the sky suddenly appeared and enveloped the kneeling Mozari. A powerful force pierced through his entire body. Under this intense white light, no one could see what was happening inside clearly, nor did they know who had the upper hand. The Holy Spirit Wings behind Chu Qi seemed to sense a familiar power and began to tremble continuously. . ¡°familiar power, I really want to see this wing and the power in your body there.¡± The ancient voice sounded hesitant from the white light, but it quickly calmed down. Mozari was baptized by this powerful white light. When the white light disappeared, Mozari no longer looked naked. His arms and upper body were covered by a gorgeous silver armor. This was the armor of a god! The aura on it was very similar to the wings on Chu Qi¡¯s back. Only then did Chu Qi understand why that voice had sounded just now. Mozari¡¯s body expanded by 30%, and his entire body was filled with silver streams. Was this the effect of a god descending to the mortal world? Just its aura alone was already powerful. The skeleton archer beside Chu Qi shot three consecutive arrows. Three pure white bone arrows flew past his hand and hit Mozzari¡¯s armor, but not a single white mark was left on his face. -1308 -1309 -1309 The damage was pitifully low, but Chu Qi already had a way to resolve this problem. The voice of the god just now made him remember that his Holy Spirit Wings and a Holy Spirit Flame technique could cause pure damage. Chu Qi immediately flashed to Mozari¡¯s side and activated the holy spirit flames. His health bar continued to drop. ¡°How is this possible?! What kind of move is this? Divine Descent is actually unable to resist it.¡± The expression on Mozari¡¯s face, which had not changed for a long time, could no longer be maintained. The pure damage of 20,000 per second made Mozari feel fear. If this continued, he would be defeated in less than a minute. ¡°What is he doing? Why doesn¡¯t Mozari hit him?¡± ¡°What kind of bearman flees? Coward!¡± ¡°Coward! The shame of the Werebear Race.¡± ¡­ The people in the audience didn¡¯t know what was going on. In their eyes, they only saw two people covered in a layer of white light. As Mozari listened to the curses on the sidelines, he felt even more suffocated. With such disgusting flames, even a god that had descended to the mortal world could not stop it and could only flee. The spectators on the field knew nothing and could only talk smack about him! This situation frightened Mozari so much that he could not help but curse the Werebears in the audience. Only the bearman Tribe priest could see what was going on. This was no white light. This was clearly a flame that belonged to a god. Mozari naturally could not resist it. In his heart, the outcome of this battle had already been decided. It would not be long before Mozari was defeated. Chu Qi continued to approach Mozari, and the surrounding skeleton knights continued to compress his movement space. Mozari kept moving away, wanting to avoid this holy flame. However, Chu Qi wouldn¡¯t give him this chance. With the speed of the holy spirit wings, no matter how Mozari tried to escape, he would be closely followed by Chu Qi. 300,000¡­ 280000¡­ 260000¡­ ¡­ 240000¡­ ¡°Ding! Mission completed [Trial of Strength]. Unlocked the next stage, [Trial of Speed].¡± When Mozari¡¯s health points fell to 240,000, Chu Qi¡¯s mission had also reached its target. The holy spirit flames on his body disappeared. At the same time, the effect of Mozari¡¯s Divine Spirit Armor and the Divine Descent also disappeared. Mozari was unwilling to accept this. He raised his huge fist and aimed it at Chu Qi, wanting to smash him. At this moment, the Bearman tribe Priest rushed over and stopped him. ¡°You lost. Get down!¡± Left with no choice, Mozart returned to the waiting area alone. ¡°Human warrior, you have completed the first trial. Next is the speed trial. Good luck.¡± Chu Qi noticed that there was a hint of playfulness in the high priest¡¯s expression, as if he had thought of something interesting. The next trial had already arrived, and Chu Qi did not have the time to think about it. As he prepared for battle, a bearman that was slightly smaller than Mozari walked up and bowed slightly to Chu Qi. ¡°Clark, I¡¯m your opponent for this trial.¡± ¡°Ding! Mission [Trial of Speed] begins. Defeat Clark without being attacked over 50 times.¡± After hearing the introduction, the mission details page appeared in front of Chu Qi. It was still the same opening. Chu Qi summoned his skeleton knight. [Clark (Trial of Speed) Gold] Health: 200,000 Attack Power: 4,500 Skills: Multi-Slash, Bind, Rising Dragon [Rising Dragon] Skill Description: Beat the enemy into the air and attack 15 times in the air. [Multi-Slash] Skill Description: Sprint in front of the enemy and instantly slash eight times. Clark took out the two daggers at his waist. He was exceptionally fast. In two breaths, he arrived in front of Chu Qi and slashed with the dagger in his hand. 4876 4876 -4,899 ¡­ Clark¡¯s sudden skill attack made Chu Qi unable to dodge in time, and he could only forcefully resist it. Then, he looked at the status bar: he had been hit (8 / 50) and his health had fallen by half. Chu Qi very much doubted if he could withstand these 50 attacks. However, Clark¡¯s attack just now also gave Chu Qi a chance to catch his breath. The surrounding skeleton knights looked at the enemy who had walked into their trap and surrounded him, trapping him inside and charging. -12979 -19763 ¡­ One round of attacks destroyed half of Clark¡¯s health. Chu Qi raised his hand and continued the tactic he used in the previous trial. He summoned the poisonous spider and covered the entire arena with its venom. Immediately after, the surrounding array appeared, and the skeleton archers crawled out one by one. The bone arrows shot towards Clark one after another like rapid firecrackers. At this moment, Clark revealed his powerful strength as a speed master. He waved the dagger in his hand quickly, perfectly blocking every bone arrow. With the impact of these bone arrows, Clark leaped through the heavy encirclement of the skeleton knights. As soon as he came out, Clark was still in a strange posture, but his hand did not stop moving. A large net firmly fixed Chu Qi¡¯s body. Clark also came in front of Chu Qi and began to accumulate his Ascending Dragon. ¡°Looks like your trial is about to end.¡± Clark said calmly, but his tone was full of sarcasm. This time, as long as the Rising Dragon hit, it would be enough to send Chu Qi back to the resurrection point. ¡°It¡¯s indeed about to end. You can go down now.¡± White light appeared from the arena again.
