Chapter 356: Chapter 356 Frost Shield
Translator: 549690339 |
“Wrath of the Fire God”. The Eye of the Fire God, a built-in special effect, had a certain chance of being triggered, causing an additional three hundred points of fire damage to the target. Accompanied by this attack, a look of terror appeared in the eyes of the Frost Naga boss. Its body trembled as it fell into a helpless state, devoid of any power to resist.
Boom!
The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword mercilessly struck the Frost Naga boss. The weakened boss had blue-black scales that scattered all around. The sword left a foot-long wound on its body. Following this heavy strike, three hundred points of fire damage floated up from the top of the Frost Naga boss’s head.
17°/o…150/o…13°/o…ii%…
The vitality points of the Frost Naga boss kept dropping until it managed to recover from its weakened state. By this time, its vitality points had fallen below 10%. Most importantly, after triggering the Wrath of the Fire God, the Frost Naga boss’s resistance became increasingly weak, as if it had been frightened.
About ten minutes later, the Frost Naga boss let out a stern cry and collapsed at Song Jian’s feet. Before it died, a relieved expression appeared in its eyes.
In an instant, Song Jian’s level increased by one, reaching 18 at 8%. The substantial experience gain surprised Song Jian.
Shortly after, with a “plop” sound, a large batch of Frost Crystals and a pile of equipment items fell from the Frost Naga boss.
“That’s some great luck. Just two more points on my luck stat and so many items drop. If I wait for the Abyss Curse to disappear and my luck stat returns to 5, won’t even more equipment drop?” Song Jian looked at the items glittering in various colors scattered on the ground, a delighted expression on his face.
In the game, if you want to acquire precious equipment, you must kill bosses. Also, your own luck stat can’t be too low. The player’s luck stat and will attribute are both hidden attributes that usually don’t display, but if you have equipment that increases luck, they’ll have a noticeable impact on the amount and quality of loot when killing monsters.
Increasingly more players are starting to pay attention to the luck attribute. However, at this stage in the game, there are almost no equipment pieces that increase luck.
For dungeons, the first time you clear them the drop rate is much higher. Subsequent times, the drop rate drops significantly. This is why Deputy Commander Sun spent over a week to enter the dungeon after discovering it.
“This is absurd. The Frost Crystals dropped by one boss are almost equivalent to all the ones I collected previously.” After organizing the dropped items, Song Jian was stunned. The Frost Naga boss dropped items that were both plentiful and of extremely high quality.
While clearing out the smaller creatures in the dungeon, he had only gathered a little over sixty Frost Crystals. But the Frost Naga boss had dropped over seventy Frost Crystals. It was almost too good to believe.
Besides the Frost Crystals, the most valuable items were equipment and recipe blueprints.
In front of Song Jian was a pair of light blue elegant boots. They appeared as though they were composed of blue scales. There were three Frost Crystals embedded in them, emitting a faint glow, making the boots beautiful beyond belief. There even appeared to be a chilly mist lingering around the boots.
“Frost Boots: Leather armor, Gold quality. Equipment level: 17, Defense: +45, Resistance: +20, Strength: +3, Agility: +5, Constitution: +5, Movement Speed: +10, Ice Resistance: +15. Comes with the skill – Frost Sprint, enhancing movement speed by 100% for 10 seconds. Cooldown time: 120 seconds. Upon activation of this skill, a Path of Frost 1 meter wide is created. Any target moving on it will have their movement speed reduced by 30%.”
“Gold quality equipment! I’ve got a piece of gold quality equipment!” Song Jian’s eyes sparkled as he swiftly put on the boots.
True to their gold quality, the defense and resistance provided by these boots were almost equivalent to half of Song Jian’s total defense and resistance. In other words, these boots were worth about half of Song Jian’s total defensive equipment.
Moreover, the attribute points increased by these boots alone were thirteen, greatly enhancing Song Jian’s strength. The boots’ accompanying skill was also extremely useful, whether it was for chasing down or fleeing from enemies. The Path of Frost, besides being extremely flashy, also hindered enemies’ pursuit, making these boots top-notch Golden Boots.
Even if someone was willing to offer thirty thousand Doomsday Coins for these boots, Song Jian would not part with them. The Fish Scale Boots were naturally retired and put into his inventory.
Although the blue equipment had mediocre defense, it could still be invaluable under certain circumstances. Song Jian couldn’t bear to sell it just yet.
In addition to the Gold Quality boots, the Boss also dropped its shield, a Level- 15 Silver Quality item with excellent attributes.
“Frost Shield. Shield. Silver Quality level 15. Requirement: Strength 15. Defense: +35, Block Rate: +40%, Defensive Level: +2, Strength: +2, Agility: +3, Vitality Points: +200. Passive Skill: Chilling Touch. There’s a chance when receiving damage to reduce the attacker’s movement and attack speed by 20% and 30% respectively. The effect lasts for 5 seconds.”
Even though it maintained only a Silver Quality, the defensive rating and the unique passive skill of the shield made it as good as common Gold Quality shields.
Apart from these two premium pieces of equipment, the boss also dropped five to six Blue Quality and seven to eight Green Quality Level-15 items. Half of them were Mage class equipment, two were healing class equipment, one was a two-handed long axe, and two were long knives. The Level-15 equipment is high-end at the current stage of the game, and the first tier of players are around this level. All this gear should sell at a good price.
Besides the equipment, the Frost Naga Boss unsurprisingly dropped a recipe blueprint for alchemy potions, a Lesser Ice Resistance Potion. Consuming this potion grants 10 Ice Resistance for an hour.
The potion could be used up to three times, meaning that each player could get thirty points of Ice Resistance, enough to venture into this part of the dungeon. As for whether they could withstand the boss’s ultimate move, that would depend on whether they managed to find and hide in the cave formed by the surrounding ice rocks.
To successfully raid the Frost Cave, besides the Holy Flame Pearl, teams would have to buy the Ice Resistance Potion. It was conceivable that selling Ice Resistance Potions alone would net Song Jian a large sum of Doomsday Coins.
Without a second thought, Song Jian learned the formula. The main ingredient in the Ice Resistance Potion was Frost Crystals, which Song Jian had in abundance, so he had no worries about making the potion.
After killing the boss, a light blue teleportation portal appeared in the middle of the frosty field. Song Jian smiled faintly, stepped into the gate, and his figure disappeared into the dungeon.
