Lin Jie raised his brows, it was a Gold shield, which, currently, was a super-rare item. Shields were the most valuable equipment within all jobs, so there was no reason not to accept it.
There was no need to tell Eighteen Massacres, so Lin Jie just directly stored the Fire Stone Shield.
The other item was a Skill Book.
[Skill Book: Sun Defense Shield]: Requires Sun Swordsmanship to be above Level 5, a Sun Defense Shield will be formed, it will reduce all damage received by 15% and absorb 500 points of damage.
“Cough… Cough…” Eighteen Massacres crawled out from countless stones in a sorry plight. His cheeks puffed up, and he spat out quite a few small gravels. His face was so twisted that Lin Jie could not help but want to laugh when he looked at Eighteen Massacres.
This was the Sun Sword Saint’s ruins. Therefore it was Sun Stones that had descended in the skills the Giant Leader had activated. These Sun Stones were extremely hot, and if a big piece of Sun Stone was thrown into a fish tank, most probably all the fish inside would be cooked. With that many pieces of Sun Stone stuffed inside his mouth, Eighteen Massacres’ face seemed like it was burned.
Lin Jie took a look at the experience bar, it increased by 6% after killing the Boss, which was not as bad as the difficulty of increasing one’s level was getting harder. Once they finished exploring the Sun Ruins, then he would need to go farm his level. After reaching Level 50, he would be able to open the Secret Techniques of Clomaros that he had obtained from the City of Light Corporal’s home. He would try and see if he could obtain the Mystic Skill Book of Clomaros as he had not learned any Mystic Skill Book yet.
“It’s good to have a pair of wings, Lone Wolf, where did you get your wings? I also want to get a pair,” said Eighteen Massacres enviously. Soon, he realized that his question was inappropriate, so he immediately smiled awkwardly.
Lin Jie directly threw the skill book to him and said, “If you really want this pair of wings, then I can teach you how to obtain it. Anyway, you said that you had learned some Limb Transfer skill in the Dark Shrine, right? Why didn’t you go and transplant a pair of wings to yourself?”
Dark Shrine had many weird skills, and within those skills was Limb Transfer, which could forcibly snatch a certain part of a single target and transplant it onto oneself to reach the aim of increasing one’s attributes. However, only the first time when one used Limb Transfer would they inherit 100% of the attributes. From the second time onwards, the attributes inherited would decrease by 20% with each time, and from the fifth time onwards, there would be no effects anymore.
“Transplanting wings is not that simple. It’s not like I can get the wings from the angels, right? The wings of wild beasts aren’t good enough, forget it, let’s talk about it another time.” Eighteen Massacres waved his hand and looked at the skill book in his hand happily. He smiled and said, “As expected, there are many Sun Swordsmanship skills in the ruin. Then, I’ll learn it first.”
“Sun Defense Shield!”
Eighteen Massacres waved his hand, and his armor was instantly turned all red from the heat as if it were soldering iron. Flames gathered to form a layer of thick Defense Shield, which was the Sun Defense Shield Skill.
Lin Jie raised his brows, this Sun Defense Shield was a top-notch skill within the many Defense Shield Skills. Not only would it provide Life Defense Shield, but it also had a 15% damage reduction. Come to think of it, Lin Jie also lacked a Defense Shield Skill besides his Sea King Scaly Armor.
After killing the Giant Leader, that light veil also gradually disappeared and revealed the actual scene inside, the building made of Fiery Wind Boulders was in a sorry state. In the past, it was a majestic Sun Shrine, but as time passed, it gradually became a ruin decayed by time.
Within the ruins, many living creatures roamed.
There were humongous Minotaurs that were the size of a small mountain, they had hideous horns that were bent and had only one eye, which was as big as car tires. Fire Ogres that had two heads and huge living creatures that looked like Fire Dragons could be vaguely seen in a magma pool, diving into and out it.
These were all living creatures that Sun Sword Saint had originally kept to guard his shrine, so their strength was not to be belittled.
In the center of the ruin was a small teleportation circle, it seemed there was another world of its own inside the ruins!
“Eighteen Massacres, let me help you clear the monsters outside.” Lin Jie licked his lips and pointed at the teleportation circle before saying, “You enter the teleportation circle and explore carefully, you might be able to find good stuff that could increase skill proficiency.”
Eighteen Massacres grinned widely. “Lone Wolf, I’ve already said many times, we should be straightforward in what we say, so don’t bullsh*t me. These monsters are good stuff, why not we get the loot with our own skills and also compete too, how’s that?”
This map was named Sun Ruins before it was destroyed, it was still the home of the Sun Sword Saint, the Sun Shrine! Large amounts of treasures were inside, and these monsters guarding the place were one of them!
Those huge Minotaurs were not the Minotaur tribe race but an old living creature named Geruko. These living creatures were large in size and didn’t know what exhaustion was, they were like giant Mechanical Gargoyles and thus were the best slaves to build cities. Also, these living creatures were simple-minded, so as long as they were successively enslaved, they basically would not betray their master. If one killed them, they could remove the tendons as they were top-notch materials, which could create Gold equipment or even Dark Gold Fragments.
The Fire Ogres were a mutated species of Ogres. It was due to them staying in the Sun Ruins for a long time, so a Fire Core was produced within their bodies that allowed them to channel fire-type magic spells. The Fire Core was also a top-notch channeling material to release high-level magic spells. They could be compared to the Fire Essence within the Ancient Wilderness Temple.
Those tens of living creatures that looked like dragons were Rare Elites Magma Snakes, each of them could be cooked to form high-grade food. Not only were they delicious, but they could increase Fire Damage and Flames Immunity. They could also provide additional Wisdom stat points for Fire Mages.
“Alright, since you’ve said so, then let us obtain what we can with our skills.” Lin Jie chuckled as he locked on his gaze to Gerugo and immediately charged towards it.
“Identify!” The Geruko’s high attributes were instantly exposed.
[Geruko] (Elite)
Level: 45
Health Points: 130,000
Attack: 1,029-1,293
Defense: 500
Additional effect: Ancient Strength (Strength Judgement increases by three times)
There was a total of 30 Gerukos, the large eyes on their heads found Lin Jie, and they all turned towards Lin Jie’s direction, they clenched their fists and smashed downwards vigorously! The Gerukos’ bodies were even larger than giants, so naturally, their punch was an AOE attack.
Boom—
Lin Jie dodged the attack, but the ground suffered, and debris flew everywhere, even Lin Jie was hit by the debris and received 400+ points of damage.
A Geruko’s strength was that powerful. If he could form a contract these 30 Gerukos, then building a base would be much simpler. However, Zheng Ziliang was not present, so Lin Jie could only kill them.
Meanwhile, Eighteen Massacres had already made a move, his Sun Swordsmanship exuded the vigor and vitality of a tiger, leaving scorch marks on the Gerukos. Maybe it was because there was the aura of the slaves’ master, Sun Sword Saint, in the Sun Swordsmanship, so the monsters actually did not resist and just let Eighteen Massacres attack.
The problem lay in the monsters’ IQ. If they could think, then they would realize that the person in front of them was not their master.
‘F*ck! They actually just let him attack? System, you can’t be so biased! That’s blatantly letting the heir of Sun Swordsmanship just directly enter the inside of the ruins. If this continues, then aren’t I going to lose to that bast*rd Eighteen Massacres? I need to think of a way.’ Lin Jie pondered and immediately understood what the system meant. He instantly thought of a plan, he made a sharp turn and rushed towards those Magma Snakes,
The intelligence of those snakes should be higher than Gerukos, so they should attack back.
“Ssss… Ssss”
Tens of Magma Snakes slithered vigorously like they were dancing once they noticed Lin Jie getting closer to them. Their sharp eyes stared straight at Lin Jie and hissed non-stop.
Hunter’s Forward Charge!
Lin Jie’s body moved, in that instant, he closed the distance between him and the Elite snakes. He then used the Blade Aura from Army Obliteration to slash the snakes until their skin was cut open and flesh was torn, the blood which was spilled entered the magma.
-1427!
-1528!
-1593!
-1540!
The Defense ability of the Elite snakes was quite good, while their health points were 90,000, so it was not easy to kill them.
Lin Jie activated Sea King Scaly Armor and poured 50% of his health points into the armor. He clenched his fist, and Blood Power instantly surged. The most common health point value Berserkers consumed when farming was 50% as it could activate both Heart of Enrage and Blood Power, and still be enough to survive when monsters attacked or if others were to ambush.
“Shield Cut!”
Feeling the powerful strength in his limbs, Lin Jie attacked violently once again, golden light shone faintly as he slashed his blade!
Swoosh!
3,583!
At that moment, the attacks from the Magma Snakes also arrived, they spat out Fire Poison one after the other. Once one was hit, it would really be like they had been covered by magma, and the damage per second was as high as 400+. Even if Lin Jie could rely on Life-Steal to regen, it would be hard to maintain the balance of the lost and regained health points, so his health bar decreased continuously.
“Hehehe… Lone Wolf, looks like your efficiency is low.” Eighteen Massacres had already killed that batch of Gerukos and held a huge bunch of pitch-black items that were in a strip-like shape. Those were the tendons of the Gerukos and the core materials for Gold equipment or materials for Dark Gold Fragments, 30 of them at that.
Eighteen Massacres held a bunch of Geruko tendons, and arrogantly took big strides. He smiled and said while showing off. “Do you need help? I’m always generous when helping.”
“Hmph!” Lin Jie sneered. With an explosive roar, he activated Outraged Roar and stunned all the Magma Snakes!
Consecutive strikes by Blade Aura Executioner and the combo of Army Obliteration after Shield Cut was unleashed together with Blade Aura, such an attack gushed around that group of snakes.
Flame Boost was activated, and with a slash of Broken Blade, the long blade dealt waves of Scorch damage, and the health points of the Magma Snakes decreased by 1/4 in the blink of an eye.
Lin Jie’s attack was extremely high! If he had activated Death Rage, then finishing these Magma Snakes would be a piece of cake, but since there were outsiders around, he saved his trump card so that he could deal with any unforeseen circumstances,
“Whirlwind!” shouted Lin Jie ferociously.
He used Whirlwind, which was a Warrior’s basic skill, and the health points of the Elites decreased rapidly. Amongst them, some even received Critical Hit and directly died!
