198: Chapter 198 4 BOSSes

"The monsters here have so much health!"

"Everyone, don't move around recklessly. Don't pull any high-level mobs."

In the Abyss, within a dark canyon, four Awakeneds of varying levels were stealthily killing monsters.

The reason they were being stealthy was that this place was far from human cities, and normally almost no one frequented it. The only family that dared to organize its younger generation for training in the Abyss was likely the Ma Family. Ma Sai had said that in over a year in the Abyss, he hadn't seen a single human Awakened.

This made the four of them instinctively cautious, especially since monsters in the Abyss didn't divide their territory by level like in the human world. Here, a level 20 mob might be right in front of an 80-level one, or a nest of level 90 mobs might suddenly be mixed in among level 50 ones.

This greatly increased the difficulty of grinding.

This was currently the situation for Yun Ge and the others. Despite being a gathering point for level 65 monsters, a group of level 75 Abyssal Giant Eagles suddenly rushed out. Fortunately, level 75 didn't impose much suppression on Yun Ge. After a brief moment of chaos, the team successfully cleared out these mobs.

"It's very dangerous here; we must be careful, careful, and more careful."

"In our family, many have died at the hands of common mobs, let alone BOSSes."

"Brother Yun Ge, how about I perform a Prophecy so we won't encounter danger?"

"Don't, my dear girl, please don't. We came here specifically to farm level 60 Gold equipment. Don't you dare prophesy."

When Xiao Xue heard Ma Sai say the Abyss was dangerous, she immediately wanted to make a Prophecy. She was then resolutely stopped by Ma Sai. As for danger, they were already so strong that they weren't very afraid. But if they didn't encounter any BOSSes, wouldn't this dangerous trek deep into the Abyss be for nothing?

On the way here, Ma Sai had discovered that his various attributes had risen across the board. He ran faster than a rabbit, which shocked him greatly. He had also gained a slight understanding of Xiao Xue's abilities, making him even more confident about entering the Abyss.

Ma Sai originally had a growth-type defensive talent. Now, at just level 50, his defense was already as high as 500%. Combined with He Xin's 25% damage reduction and the reduction from his level 50 Gold Shield, Ma Sai was already terrifyingly strong. Not to mention that under Xiao Xue's Prophecy, his defense had doubled again!

"I suspect that if I tank a BOSS now, I won't lose any health at all."

"I really want to run into a BOSS right now!"

Ma Sai heavily struck the shield in his hand. Typical tanks didn't have such high movement speed, but now Ma Sai had 360-degree coverage with no weaknesses. He had easily tanked the hundreds of mobs Yun Ge had pulled earlier, and his health loss was almost in the single digits.

However, Ma Sai didn't let it go to his head. This was deep in the Abyss. Once they left the city's range, Town Portal Scrolls could no longer be used. There were only two ways to leave the Abyss: one was to fight through the mobs and walk back, and the other was to die and respawn back.

What Ma Sai was worried about now was provoking high-level mobs and being suppressed by level. It would be time-consuming and laborious for Yun Ge to fight them, and their efficiency would drop significantly.

Furthermore, this was the Abyss. God knows when a large group of high-level mobs or even a BOSS might suddenly appear. Even though they had invulnerability skills, if they really met a high-level BOSS capable of one-shotting them, someone might actually fall here.

It was like when Ma Sai and He Xin were training before; they were doing fine fighting level 40-something mobs when a fire-breathing dragon suddenly appeared. A level 100 Fire Dragon King killed two people in their squad with a single breath. If Ma Sai and He Xin hadn't activated their invulnerability at the critical moment, they might have perished then too.

Invulnerability has a cooldown. Being in the Abyss, one still had to be careful. They were here to farm equipment, not to die.

"The drop rate here is indeed much higher."

The four of them had been here for half a day and had killed many monsters. Yun Ge had already noticed some clues. Perhaps because the mobs in the Abyss were rarely killed, they were basically 'virgins,' and their drops were very generous. In just this short while, over a dozen pieces of equipment had dropped, ranging from White to Bronze grade.

Of course, it could also be due to the increase in Luck. Yun Ge now knew that Xiao Xue could not only boost attributes but also increase his Luck!

This was practically a BUG-like existence. Yun Ge felt extremely fortunate that it was Xiao Xue who had awakened the Prophecy Talent and not someone else.

"Yeah, this level 60 equipment is also quite expensive."

"Yun Ge, your damage range is actually so large that I'm almost afraid to go pick up the dropped money."

He Xin was complaining with a smile. Although the two of them had put on a full set of Gold equipment as soon as they reached level 50, it was all sponsored by the family. Aside from that, they didn't have a single cent. They couldn't even afford the gold coins to repair their gear if it broke, let alone replace it with level 60 Gold equipment.

That was why Ma Sai and He Xin had planned ahead and asked Yun Ge to party up. Looking at it now, it was indeed a wonderful surprise.

In just this short time, He Xin had already picked up more than 10 gold coins. A single level 60 mob dropped 1 Silver Coin. Yun Ge's damage range was ten times larger and his damage was high; basically, after a few skills, the ground was covered in Silver Coins.

She couldn't even pick them all up.

"It's not bad. A few days ago when it was just the two of us, we didn't even pick up money."

"Didn't pick up money?"

He Xin cried out:

"Yun Ge, you've changed! Before, you used to pick up even a single copper coin, and now you don't even pick up Silver Coins. Waste is shameful, waste is shameful!"

"..."

Yun Ge was speechless. Was it that he didn't want to pick them up? It was because the skill range was too large and too much money dropped; it was everywhere. How was he supposed to pick it all up?

"Be careful, focus. There's no light at all up ahead; there might be some big monster."

"If it doesn't look right, let's go around."

At this moment, Ma Sai interrupted their conversation. The Abyss was already very dark—it was only because the world had been gamified that they could barely see the monsters—but the canyon ahead was even pitch-blacker than the surroundings, giving Ma Sai a very bad premonition.

This was an instinct Ma Sai had developed over more than a year of training in the Abyss. If they charged further ahead, there might be danger.

"Go around?"

Yun Ge thought about it. Actually, it wasn't necessary. In the Abyss, aside from those high-level Betrayers, general BOSSes weren't that hard to fight. They came to the Abyss specifically to fight BOSSes; there was no need to bypass it now.

"Xiao Xue, you do it."

"Okay."

Xiao Xue obediently raised her crystal ball:

"God says, only BOSSes will appear in the canyon ahead, and there is no other danger."

"..."

Ma Sai's eyes immediately widened:

"That works too?"

Not only was Ma Sai shocked, but He Xin was also a bit dumbfounded. Was this for real, or was the little girl just making a wish?

"Ma Sai, how do you feel now?"

"Feel?"

Ma Sai looked toward the pitch-black canyon again with confusion. That feeling of heart-palpitating dread from just now had vanished.

"It feels fine. I'll go first, you guys be careful."

Ma Sai raised his shield and strode forward. Soon, an earth-shaking roar erupted!

"It's BOSSes, and there are 4 of them! He Xin, heal me!"

What?

4 BOSSes!
