“Emmm…” Zheng Ziliang was quite hesitant watching Gilian cry and tossed a questioned look at Lin Jie.
Lin Jie had no choice. Gilian was just like a toddler equipped with a machine gun, who had overwhelming power but a childish mind. Eventually, he gave up and recalled her into the card.
“Did someone else appear here?” Lin Jie asked. If that was not the case, both of them would not have attacked Lin Jie almost instinctively at the sight of him appearing.
Lin Jie tried to release the Silver-Feathered Eagle to investigate the map, but the dark mist of Moratti Shrine made it pointless.
Zheng Ziliang put up a serious look and said, “When Youngster and I were farming, we saw a field of corpses. This proves that someone has been here, who must have already discovered us and tried to assault us several times when we were killing the monsters. If not for my advanced skills and power, he would have already succeeded. ”
Wine God Youngster said with a disgusted and gloomy look, “I hate these tails.”
Lin Jie nodded as he realized that the enemy was still undetected while they were exposed, which put them in a highly dangerous situation.
“Let’s get into the main shrine first.” Lin Jie took out the map. With this map, they could even possibly enter the Vicious Black Dragon Moratti’s dungeon! This dragon was so rare that it was one of the very few Bosses that had absolutely zero battle power in The New Age. This meant that as long as they could find it, there would be a harvest!
However, its resting ground would definitely be guarded by numerous other monsters.
The trio was very focused on the map. Thanks to the map, they had a rather swift journey to the main entrance of the shrine after avoiding all the areas where monsters were densely populated. What they had never noticed was that there had been a dark shadow following them constantly at a distance, which had a smooth trip too.
The top of the main shrine was a ferocious dragon head sculpture, which seemed to be selecting its next meal out of the trio. This was a strategic tool which could boost 10% attributes of all living things in the main shrine. If one could slaughter the dragon, one could take it away.
“Let’s go.” Lin Jie waved his hand, and the trio stepped into the main shrine.
—”You have discovered Vicious Black Dragon Moratti’s shrine, Knowledge +100.”
—”You can inform the Holy Church about the Vicious Black Dragon’s whereabouts, and receive generous awards.”
Holy Church? Lin Jie sneered. As long as one saw what was in front of them, no one would choose to inform it.
The shrine was so vast that one could not see its edge at one glance. There was a giant door at every ten steps. Numerous Dragonites armed with sanguineous armors were patrolling on their four limbs. Each door had been guarded by Boss-level dragons. While the innermost of the shrine, though covered by the thick mist, could still send chills down the trio’s backbones with a sense of intimidating coercion from the Fear Bone Dragon!
“My Inspect is not working.” Zheng Ziliang said disappointedly after trying Inspect a few times. He could only get back “???”.
Lin Jie waved, “Let me do it.”
Identify!
Ding~
—”Your dwarf Identify has been upgraded to medium level.”
Lin Jie was fascinated. It seemed that the Identity was very successful, such that the degree of proficiency had increased by this much. Finally, there was a breakthrough, and the skill reached the medium level! Leveling up such Inspect skills required much perseverance. Every advanced player would toss an Inspect skill habitually before killing when they were leveling up their character no matter how well they knew about the attributes of the monster.
This was the quality of the real masters! Although Lin Jie could recite the monster attributes backward fluently, he would still toss Identify habitually before every battle.
[Dragonite Guardian ] (Enhanced Elite)
Level: 35
Health Points: 80,000
Attack Power: 800-1,100
Defense: 500
Skill: Forward Charge, Armor Break, Dragon Magic (Sea of Fire)
Special ability: Dragon skin (Decrease physical damage and magical damage by 25%)
“This… these are the results of your Inspect? OMG the world is so unfair!” Zheng Ziliang shouted and wrangled. He was not triggered by the powerful attributes of the Dragonite but was shocked by how Lin Jie’s Inspect could be so accurate.
Lin Jie rolled his eyes. “Excuse me? Can you focus on the right thing?”
“OMG, these attributes are so incredibly high!” Zheng Ziliang just noticed. “1,000 attack power and 500 defense, Forward Charge and Armor Break, and what the hell, Dragon Magic?”
“This is absolutely a monolithic block, a block with thorns! Hey Jie, I suggest that we go back and bully the lower level monsters… We are just seeking our own doom.”
The Dragonite Guardian’s attributes were too overwhelming! Although they were only level 35, their attributes were definitely at the same level as level 40 Bosses! The three secret places would definitely be far tougher than this! This was what the system planned when designing the map—yes, to send off crazily powerful monsters to torture players.
Wine God Youngster calculated the attributes, and claimed, “My damage per second is about 150, providing that I am using all my skills simultaneously! However, who can take the monster’s damage? 800 to 1,100 damage is beyond our ability.”
“We don’t have to take the damage.” Lin Jie pointed at the door. “300 yards outside is the skeletal spear remains. We can lead the Dragonite Guardian there and utilize the skeletal spears to defend off its Forward Charge and attacks. Its big figure limits its agility. As long as we can attack constantly, we can deplete its HP to zero eventually.”
Zheng Ziliang was stunned. “300 yards? Hey Jie, this is just one Enhanced Elite! If it takes so much effort to kill one, when there are at least a few hundreds, god knows when we will clear all of them! ”
“Do you think that the map is designed for you to move away all the treasures happily? You’ll be lucky enough if you are stuck here for a month or so. People can stay up to a year.” Lin Jie rolled his eyes again.
“A year?? Hell no! I can’t even talk to pretty girls! It’s such torture!”
Zheng Ziliang said ‘no’ sternly but acted differently—he had already taken a battle pose, ready to follow Lin Jie to start the long and tedious Dragonite assault business. Moratti Shrine was an advanced region, where the hidden high rewards were accompanied with great difficulty.
The countless doors each came with abundant treasures: weapons, armors, and even ballista and mangonel! Mountains of golden coins, spirits of elements… and even dragon eggs!
In order to get these, one had to put in great effort! Not mentioning that the premise was to eliminate the patrollers out there, to get the real treasures, after each door, there might be hundreds and thousands of Dragonites queuing up to ‘welcome’ them.
“I will attract them, you guys wait for me 30 yards away, and leave a 30-yard interval between each other. This is the Forward Charge distance of a Dragonite. When it starts to Forward Charge, you guys throw the grenades immediately. It will be good to stun the Dragonites, but if it fails, just run.” Lin Jie retrieved a fire gun and aimed at the nearest Dragonite.
Burst!
The Dragonite got a shot on its head. Glaring Lin Jie with its cow-like eyes, a spear appeared in its scaled arms and then it attacked!
Forward Charge!
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The ground shook violently under the Dragonite’s heavy steps. Lin Jie kept his weapon and ran backward, leaving an unstable grenade in his place! The blow came with dense smoke simultaneously, the next moment, the thick smoke was split into halves—the Dragonite was clearly unaffected. With a boost in its speed, it dashed forward!
“Dragon’s Roar!” With one point of his sword, Lin Jie sent off a deafening dragon howl forward, forcing the Dragonite to retreat by a short distance. At this moment, Lin Jie had already reached the meeting point where Wine God Youngster was stationed at.
Wine God Youngster raised his spear and came to grips with the Dragonite in close-range combat! The spearhead landed at the same point several times within seconds, and pierced through a piece of dragon scale! The Dragonite’s defense power decreased by 20 immediately.
After a successful assault, he immediately threw out a grenade and escaped. He was very lucky. The Dragonite was stunned, and he got his way to the meeting point where Zheng Ziliang was situated successfully. Zheng Ziliang then summoned the Water Overlord to attract the monster’s attention, while himself was freed from attacks and could leisurely run backward. The benefit of Contract Summoners was safe kiting!
Katcha
The Dragonite cut the Water Element in half with one hit, but the human in sight had already been changed back to Lin Jie. In fact, The Dragonite was already far away from the giant door.
Repeatedly, the Dragonite was brought further and further away, all the way to the skeletal spear remains, where a skeletal dragon had passed away and left sharp and dangerous ossa costales protruding out of the ground.
The Dragonite howled furiously and caught up with Lin Jie. After being played around for such a long time, the Dragonite’s fury could almost turn into physical damage. Outraged, a flash of red light appeared on the dragon spearhead, indicating that the next attack must be a critical strike!
Lin Jie dodged it by just lowering his head, and then a cracking sound came, in the next moment, the dragon spear hit onto the skeletal spears violently!
Lin Jie smiled, and in the next moment, he used all the buffs on himself. Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner and Flame Boost were swept across with a might to eliminate everything into the Dragonite’s body!
-329!
-326!
-361!
-300!
The Dragonite scratched its belly. 1,000+ points of damage to it were nothing but a scratch; after all, it had 80,000 health points. The dragons had terribly high defense power. Besides, its thick dragon skin was good enough to make loads of ‘high-damage players’ to retreat.
“Shield Cut!” Lin Jie roared.
-675!
Attacks that could ignore any defense were so powerful!
Wine God Youngster raised his long spear – the attacking range was 30% longer than normal weapons – again and attacked from the back. Each time when the Dragonite planned to change its target, the trio would hide behind the skeletal spears and attack from its back to grind away the Dragonite’s health!
