Night Watch, Lewandowski
With the 'Quadruple Arrow' skill, firearms became even less useful for him.
He regretted buying so many bullets.
The remaining ones would never be used up!
As for giving the gun to others? It wasn't that Yang Jian was reluctant or had any reservations.
The main reason was that its physical attack was so low, it couldn't even scratch a Little Boar!
Yang Jian was powerful with it because it complemented his talent... but now that he could kill monsters with one arrow, the attack speed was no longer very useful for him.
Without further delay, he summoned Little Sea Turtle and Little Boar.
Yang Jian entered slaughter mode.
It truly was slaughter mode; humanoid monsters naturally had linked aggro.
As soon as one monster was hit, a single roar could summon a large group.
Was Yang Jian afraid of this?
Not a single 'Rotting Corpse' or 'Wandering Ghoul' could approach where he stood.
In just fifteen minutes, all visible undead monsters within his line of sight were wiped out by Yang Jian!
Next came the much-anticipated loot collection phase.
He acquired a total of 3 gold and 37 silver coins.
There were 17 grey damaged items, 12 white-tier items, one green-tier mail armor, and one green-tier two-handed axe.
Unfortunately, they were all Level 10, so he couldn't devour them.
Ten minutes later, standing at the entrance of the graveyard, Yang Jian had a mouthful of complaints but didn't know who to vent them to!
What kind of decent person's tomb had this architectural style? And even left a door? To make it convenient for grave robbers?
Or to make it convenient for descendants to come and pay respects to rotting remains?
Now look, your ancestor is a zombie, and I have to go into the tomb to clean up his mess.
According to Kassan's quest requirements, after clearing these former 'militiamen' on the surface, Yang Jian had actually completed the quest.
But to get an extra surprise... her deceased husband had to die again.
After a long period of mental preparation, Yang Jian still encountered a putrid attack upon entering the underground catacombs.
If this were truly a game, Yang Jian would be cursing the developers right now... Upon entering the underground tomb, the number of monsters here immediately increased significantly.
Not to mention the 'Rotting Corpses,' ghouls were everywhere, and even more disgusting, there were meter-long worms.
Yang Jian quickly tethered his two dogs at his feet, preventing them from charging forward.
If they were to take a bite, he felt these two pets would be unusable.
Full firepower... Hunter's Mark, Arcane Shot... -2570, -1400, -1570, -3700... various explosive-looking numbers flew above the heads of five wild monsters.
After a volley of shots, the room in front of him was cleared in fifteen seconds.
Then the most explosive part came... the large worm burst open, green fluid splattering everywhere.
And then Yang Jian spectacularly vomited.
He quickly retreated to the surface, leaning against the wall and dry heaving for a long time.
At this moment, he was pondering a question: should he just not do this damn quest?
It was a good thing he hadn't let Little Sea Turtle and Little Boar charge forward just now, otherwise... the scene, just thinking about it was enough.
【Ding, Guild Announcement! Vice Guild Leader Thousand Years of White Clouds has issued an announcement: In ten minutes, the guild skill will be activated, increasing experience by 20% for 120 minutes?】
Thousand Years of White Clouds: @Everyone, please take care of personal matters within ten minutes. The experience BUFF will be activated in ten minutes!
Looking at the undead monsters he had just cleared on the surface, his experience had already increased quite a bit. If he also cleared the monsters in the Great Catacombs, he could at least reach Level 8 or higher... Let's do it!
It's just a game, what's there to be afraid of?
Besides, if he didn't adapt, what if the Abyss specifically sent disgusting monsters to deal with him in the future?
After a while of mental preparation.
He went down again... He had left in a hurry just now, not even picking up the drops on the ground.
Hmm? What's this?
Yang Jian picked up something that was clearly a material.
【soul sand (Green)】
【A material dropped by low-level undead, with relatively wide uses.】
soul sand? He seemed to have seen it somewhere. Let's check with the All-Seeing Eye again?
【Description: Can be used for canine and feline pet advancement!】
Oh, right, he had seen it when checking the advancement conditions for the Little Wild Wolf.
Because this wild wolf was neither a high-level race nor did it have any powerful ancestors.
So the materials for its white to green advancement were even more numerous than the materials for Little Boar's green to blue advancement... Yang Jian had the ability to train it, but honestly, there was no need!
But this item was still a good thing, he'd keep it!
Forcing a common paramecium to evolve into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, besides wasting one's own time and energy and only moving oneself, had no other meaning!
Picking up the drops on the ground, Yang Jian still advanced deeper into the tomb.
The caves in the world of 'salvation' were very strange.
It was unclear whether the gods considered the impact of too many caves, or if the geology of this continent was problematic.
Therefore, the visibility in the caves was the same day and night.
If you entered during the day with a big sun, the visibility would be like this... If you entered at night, it would be exactly the same.
He fought monsters all the way, and the dropped items were also bizarre.
Undead monsters, if nothing else, really did drop materials.
Yang Jian even got a 【Material: Amethyst (Purple)】.
No matter how useful this item might be in the future, for him now, it could only occupy one slot in his backpack!
After three hours of wandering in the underground tomb and reaching Level 8.
The most troublesome thing happened.
His backpack was full... Not only his own backpack, but even his Soul Backpack was full.
If he were to go back and return now, the time wasted on the journey would make Yang Jian feel heartbroken.
Moreover, the roads in this underground tomb were rugged, and he wondered how Susan and her people dug the tomb back then... Such a large project relied on just those few people in Newbie Village?
And he heard that the composition of Newbie Village was quite complex, formed by patching together two or three villages.
Don't ask how it was done; there are gods in this world!
He decided to temporarily put aside the problems he couldn't figure out and test whether he could exploit a bug.
He found a safe place and logged off.
Speaking of safety, the cleared caves were all quite safe now; the monsters here had not respawned, and he didn't know why.
Back in his office, Yang Jian opened his Soul Backpack.
He took out two white-tier pieces of equipment and threw them into the wardrobe in the adjacent room.
He then took out two white-tier materials and two grey items and put them into the office desk drawer.
He logged back on and continued fighting monsters.
Now that he had cleared six empty slots, it was a temporary relief.
After clearing another round, he logged off to check again.
Whether it was equipment, materials, or arrows, they were all still there!
Goodness, he had underestimated his talent... To prevent any accidents, Yang Jian dumped all the in-game food, water, and white items.
Some less important loot was also dropped, like some white-tier materials... To prevent any issues, green-tier equipment and materials still needed to be carried.
This way, if there were any problems, he wouldn't be so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe!
He continued to push forward, and when his level was past 8 and a half, he finally reached the last room.
As soon as he peeked out and realized something was wrong, Yang Jian quickly retreated.
He cautiously peeked out again to observe.
【Night Watchman, Levan Carlisle, LV10】
【Undead, Bronze-level (Abyssal Aura Contamination)】
【Health: 500,000】
【Consecration, Hammer of Justice, Summon Undead, Death and Decay, Shadow Bolt...】
【Note: Once the leader of the Night Watchmen of Evernight Town, he was infected with the undead virus when his home was breached by the Abyss's legions. Awakened by the Abyssal aura, his will is being fully corrupted.】
Good heavens, a Level 10 Bronze-level BOSS, and he's dual-cultivating both holy and dark magic?
He needed to prepare for battle immediately.
First, he needed to check the cooldown of his 【titan heart necklace】.
The 24-hour cooldown still had an hour and a half left.
He could wait for this.
After all, a Bronze-level BOSS, the previous one even dropped a guild token for him, so he could wait for this one!
He couldn't possibly use this thing only when fighting small monsters, right?
Let's check his talent again, time to prepare for battle!
【Talent: Devour (Green)】
【Description: Devour a green-tier item no higher than your level, inheriting all of its attributes. Can be stacked infinitely.】
【Cooldown: Remaining time: 17:29】
【Upgrade Condition: 5 / 50 (Only green-tier equipment counts towards upgrade condition)】
【Current Devoured Attributes: Strength +6, Agility +5, Stamina +3, Attack +727, Defense +664, Space Slots +28, Block +190】
With his current attack power and attributes, fighting a Lord monster didn't seem like a big problem... even if he was an Abyss-corrupted wild monster.
He marked his route; time couldn't be wasted. He would go fight monsters first, and after devouring another green-tier item, he would come back and beat him up.
Let me clarify, it wasn't cowardice!
He just wanted to be more cautious.
He retreated, walking for almost five minutes until he reached the monster spawn area.
He cleared a large wave of monsters on his way back, waiting until the necklace's cooldown was ready before returning to confront the BOSS.
The two pieces of equipment he devoured on the way back were very representative.
【Withered Branch (Green)】
【Two-handed, Polearm】
【Attack +28】
【Agility +2】
...【Murloc Spear (Green)】
【Two-handed, Polearm】
【Attack +32】
【Strength +2】
There was no other meaning in choosing these two pieces of equipment; he simply valued their high attack power!
【Current Devoured Attributes: Strength +8, Agility +7, Stamina +3, Attack +787, Defense +664, Space Slots +28, Block +190】
Everything was ready. Little Boar, charge!
