Level 70, the talent to set sail again
This time, the Abyssal Monsters that came to Lonely Star Island were far more than just the Fear Whisperer.
【Abyssal Eye Watcher, LV65】
【Abyssal Clan, Giant-Eyed Monster, Clone】
【HP: 50 million】
【Skills: Stealth Monitoring, Image Transmission, Death Gaze, Thousand Eyes…】
【Description: Among the Abyssal Vanguard, this is a clone eye of Thousand Eyes Mirko, responsible for detecting various unexpected situations!】
When Yang Jian killed this thing, it had been watching him from above for an unknown amount of time.
This thing could stealth and maneuver.
Floating in the air, its scent also escaped Bamboo Leaf and Mo Song's noses.
Yang Jian was certain that when he was looking for the Fear Whisperer, he had checked that position in the sky with his Tianmu, and there was absolutely nothing there.
The opponent must have noticed the Fear Whisperer making a move and found a blind spot to hide.
Yang Jian didn't expect to encounter a head-on blow so soon after floating up a bit.
He kept his Tianmu open when fighting monsters afterward.
For Yang Jian now, opening it for seven or eight hours was no longer a big deal.
So, after another wave of Abyssal Monsters was killed, Yang Jian habitually checked his surroundings.
When he looked up, he suddenly saw a large eyeball floating in the sky… The moment their three eyes met, an awkward atmosphere filled the battlefield.
Although startled, Yang Jian's movements were not slow!
Starfall Mark! (Units carrying Starfall Mark cannot enter hidden status. When Star Hunter and his team attack targets with Starfall Mark, attack and spell power each increase by 100 points, and haste, hit, and critical strike each increase by 50 points.)
After being marked, the opponent's first reaction was still to escape.
Judging by its appearance, this thing was not a serious combat unit.
Although it did have several decent-sounding skills… Meteor Strike, Arcane Shot!
Seven Stars Alignment.
-4729408, -59560, -2605529… dozens of damage numbers appeared above the opponent’s head.
Its HP rapidly decreased!
Before the opponent could run 50 meters, it entered the execute range.
falling star arrow… one arrow struck, and the opponent died on the spot!
Looking at the shriveled big eye, Yang Jian didn't pay too much attention.
Having seen various invasion methods of the Abyss, Yang Jian understood that once targeted by the Abyss, it was a lifelong matter!
Or rather, it was a matter for many generations of descendants… Didn't the world of Azeroth see those bastards come knocking after ten thousand years!
Moreover, Yang Jian's strength, in front of various powerful predecessors, could only be considered average… Yang Jian spent a whole day sweeping Lonely Star Island again!
Looking at his attribute panel, Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
Deep Blue, add points… Level sixty-seven, sixty-eight, sixty-nine, seventy… His level increased to seventy.
Yang Jian looked at himself and still had 140,000 abyssal essence.
He decided to upgrade his number one subordinate, Bamboo Leaf!
Level fifty-seven, fifty-eight… He continued until Bamboo Leaf reached level sixty-five, then stopped!
The upgrade requirement for hunter pets was halved.
So Yang Jian still had a lot of abyssal essence left.
But he wasn't in a hurry to upgrade Mo Song and Wu Hui!
The main purpose of the Water Spirit Turtle Wu Hui was currently unclear.
Although his defense was terrifyingly strong, he lacked matching aggro skills.
He couldn't rely entirely on Yang Jian's Misdirection to pull aggro, could he?
Or taunt them one by one?
Taunts also had cooldowns, alright… Yang Jian did intend to have him change to a water-related profession that could heal!
He had his eye on a few, such as Tide Sage! Or Mistwalker-like professions.
It was just that he didn't know how a hunter's pet should change professions now… As for Mo Song?
His inability to upgrade had nothing to do with Yang Jian's kidney shot… Really!
Absolutely nothing to do with it!
It was purely for the overall consideration of the team!
Or rather… until a way to counter Abyssal mental control skills was found, Yang Jian didn't plan to upgrade Mo Song!
His current strength was already very strong.
This time, he ambushed Yang Jian.
If he were to ambush Zhou Yue… Zhou Yue could withstand it and beat Mo Song to death like a dog.
The problem was that Bai Youyou and the others couldn't withstand it!
The ordinary players of Lingyun City couldn't withstand it either.
Since this matter was brought up, it definitely needed to be resolved!
As for the remaining abyssal essence? That stuff wouldn't spoil sitting there!
…Yang Jian came out to level up at this critical juncture when he wanted to upgrade his talent.
It was also because the golden arrow he wanted to devour was a level seventy item… Yang Jian's level wasn't high enough!
He couldn't devour it even if he made it… Hence, this solo run on Lonely Star Island.
When he returned to Dragon Head Camp again, there were only three days left until the guild's expedition ten-day agreement… In the blacksmith shop, Yang Jian had already given instructions during its construction!
He directly found a corner and made multiple layers of protection.
Except for a few high-ranking members, ordinary people couldn't enter at all.
Of course, to facilitate the guild's forging profession players, an ordinary furnace blacksmith shop was also built outside.
It was enough for those ordinary blacksmiths who could only forge level thirty or forty equipment… A master blacksmith?
What kind of master blacksmith could only forge such equipment today?
Having not touched forging for a long time, Yang Jian didn't plan to use the system's forging function!
Who knew if he would be able to forge red arrows in the future… What if his talent could advance further?
So, before he started forging the golden arrow, he had to practice first!
Yang Jian was in Dragon Head Camp.
Before coming to the blacksmith shop, he went to the warehouse to adjust his backpack.
Now, almost his entire backpack was filled with forging materials!
He checked his forging list.
Yang Jian took a fancy to a level 60 purple defensive shield!
This was also because heart of khaz'goroth gave Yang Jian its forging list.
Otherwise, to get forging blueprints of this level, one would have to break their head just to luckily obtain one.
But here with Yang Jian, he had whatever he wanted!
Thinking of this, Yang Jian touched the necklace on his chest.
It was still blue quality to this day.
Yang Jian thought, perhaps it was time to upgrade it.
The idea of practicing before forging was indeed correct!
And very necessary.
After forty-odd minutes of hammering, the forging failed… This was also a drawback of not using the system's forging function.
It sometimes really did fail!
Fortunately, some materials could still be recycled and reused!
Yang Jian hadn't considered reusing them himself, but he could certainly hand them over to other forging profession players in the guild… which could save him a lot of time.
The first failure was because Yang Jian hadn't practiced forging for a long time and was rusty.
The second time, it was obviously much better.
When forging, Yang Jian was only wearing a pair of shorts!
In front of the furnace, he hammered according to the shield's requirements.
After two hours, a level 60 purple shield was freshly made… 【Ancient Emperor's Bulwark (Purple)】
【Off-hand, Shield】
【Equipment Requirement: Level 60】
【Armor + 12000】
【Strength + 120】
【Stamina + 120】
【Parry + 120】
【Durability: 150 / 150】
【Note: Forged with all efforts by the Grandmaster Blacksmith 'Tianmu Zhenjun'.】
Yang Jian looked at this finished product, which took him two hours to make, and was quite satisfied.
His talent's cooldown was already ready.
Yang Jian simply clicked devour!
The purple equipment that had just taken shape in his hand turned into dust and dissipated in the air.
The golden arrow, which should have been extremely difficult to destroy, now dissipated in the air with the hot wind of the furnace in Yang Jian's hand.
【Talent: Devour (Gold)】
【Description: Devour a golden or lower-grade equipment not higher than your level, inherit all its attributes, stackable infinitely.】
【Cooling Down: Remaining time: 59:49】
【Upgrade Condition: 1 / 50 (Only golden equipment counts towards upgrade condition)】
【Current Devoured Attributes: Strength + 187490, Agility + 219680, Stamina + 199000, Intellect + 6847, Attack + 69870, Defense + 88070, Ranged Attack Power + 1840, Spell Attack Power + 998, Attack Speed + 11, Space Slot + 384, Arrow Slot + 12, Block + 1790, Dodge + 1250… True Damage + 54000, Bonus Damage to Abyss + 54000, Damage to Divine Beings + 5000】
【Skill: Deception】
Looking at this talent attribute panel, Yang Jian felt he had succeeded!
As long as he devoured these fifty-plus golden arrows.
Thinking about it, he could actually leave one to show off… Isn't it normal for a strong person to use golden arrows!
What else was there to say? Get to forging! Just do it!
