Chapter 17: Epic Design Diagrams
Yesterday was really embarrassing, only updated one chapter! Returned to my hometown, picked some lychees, Gaozhou lychees, have you heard of them?
"Huh?"
Lin Jie's eardrums were throbbing with pain, and even if he had traveled extensively in his past life, he had never been to this cliff. The protagonist suffered a great calamity by jumping off the cliff, but was able to obtain a powerful skill, equipment, and even picked up a beautiful female master to return and seek revenge.
Activate the Feather Falling Gem, and the falling speed is only reduced by half. When the effect of Feather Falling disappears, Lin Jie starts to fall freely again. Fortunately, the cooldown time for Feather Falling is not long, and with a usage interval of every 10 seconds, the falling speed is slowed down, at least it won't be a direct landing on the ground.
During the fall, Lin Jie took a look at the time, not too much or too little, exactly 10 minutes! It had been falling for 10 whole minutes and still hadn't hit the bottom, just how deep was this cliff?!
The cliffs of the mainland, most are the scars left by the great war, filled with volcanic magma, dark undead and ancient giant beasts. However, ordinary players can hardly see them because they die instantly when falling off.
Relaunching the Feather Falling Gem, Lin Jie's figure slowed down and floated slowly towards the ground.
Just as the fog was slowly dispersing and visibility was gradually clearing up, Lin Jie's head suddenly went dark, his vision turned black, and he fell to the ground.
"Did I pass out?" Lin Jie wanted to open his eyes, but it was no use. The abnormal state in the game wouldn't make the player truly dizzy, but it would simulate some feelings, such as being unable to move, dizziness and blurred vision, etc., but consciousness was still clear.
However, after dizziness, Lin Jie did not know his own state because he could not feel anything.
Half an hour later, his eyes slowly opened.
"Karamosi..." The sound of an unintelligible language reached his ears, Lin Jie stirred and was shocked to find himself bound to a massive wooden pillar. A wave of scorching heat emanated from beneath him - he was placed on a sacrificial altar, about to be burned at the stake. Not far away, dozens of giant demons were raising their hands, loudly chanting something, and dancing an ancient and eerie dance.
Lin Jie's eyes flashed, and he thought of a creature: the Kalimdor giant. An outcast among their own kind, they betrayed their own race and allies in the Cataclysm War, burning the bodies of warriors as an offering to the common faith of all giants - the Giant Soul.
This group of NPPC is different, they not only loot game characters, but also loot players. In the classics of Karamo giant, it is recorded that: The effect of foreign soul on giant soul is far greater than that of indigenous people. This is a group of NPCs hostile to players!
Lin Jie twisted his body, trying to break free. However, he ended in failure. These giant demons were only level 20, but as the game progressed, they would gradually grow and eventually become a big BOSS.
"Karamo...!" The emaciated giant ogre elder raised his right hand high, throwing the torch at Lin Jie.
Boom!
The wood blazed fiercely, and the Karamojo demons prayed devoutly.
"You are about to enter a special instance of 'Soul of the Giant Demon'. Your communication function is temporarily blocked. The system has automatically enabled external call reminders for you."
Flames engulfed Lin Jie's body, and the surroundings gradually darkened, arriving at a desolate black wilderness.
"Special copy?" Lin Jie stretched out his hand, the shackles on his body had disappeared, and his status had returned to normal. His level hadn't decreased either, and he was able to move freely. As for this desolate plain, it seemed that no one had mentioned it in his past life.
Like a desert, the barren land was dotted with sparse silver-gray weeds. When the weeds were pulled out, beneath them lay a murky, ink-like soil.
"Quest begins, slay 10 Wildhammer Giant Hunters."
The system prompt came, Lin Jie frowned and chose a direction to move forward.
Gradually, a black giant appeared in sight, wearing a fierce dragon mask, with a long bow as tall as one and a half people on his back - the giants are all good at hunting.
Wild Giant Hunter: 3rd Elite, HP 1100
Lin Jie took a glance at his backpack, damn it, he didn't bring any supplies! His original plan was to kill the Hellfire and then change maps, after all, there were still several Dark Gold-level BOSS locations in his mind. Now, however, plans couldn't keep up with changes. He silently decided that from now on, he would definitely bring full supplies when going out, and also expand the backpack's limit at the same time.
The giant demon hunter's eyes flashed, and the bow was drawn into a full moon shape, breaking through the air! The arrow flew past Lin Jie's ear, causing 20 points of internal damage, if he had been hit head-on, he would have probably lost at least half of his vitality.
Wild Charge! Lin Jie's speed soared as he charged towards the giant demon, another arrow shot came and brushed past his face, shooting backwards. The sword energy slash accompanied by the Wild Charge's massive impact force slammed into the giant demon's belly.
Dizzy! -55!
Sweep away thousands of troops! - 56! - 53! - 62!
The giant ogre shook its head, waking up from its dazed state, and drew back the longbow in an attempt to aim, but there was no retreating motion.
Lin Jie's eyes lit up, this guy wouldn't have an escape skill, would he? The so-called escape skills, such as the mage's flash and the warlock's teleportation gate, were used to prevent being caught by melee professions.
When a hunter is closed in, he becomes a tragedy. Lin Jie immediately used the "circle" character move, with the giant demon as the center of the circle, and started to slash at the giant demon's neck with his sword energy, moving one step after each slash. The giant demon was confused and turned around in place, unable to catch Lin Jie's figure.
－74！－85！
The giant's neck is a weak point, and the sword energy slash ignores the giant's skin defense, making his output extremely high. 4 minutes later, the giant hunter relaxed his limbs and fell to the ground.
"You killed Feralasian Beaststalker, kills: 1."
The experience bar didn't rise at all.
Lin Jie furrowed his brow, the monsters on this map were so strong, yet they didn't give any experience points? To think that just one level 3 elite monster would give a huge amount of experience, if all the monsters in this map didn't give any experience... Lin Jie was essentially trapping himself at the very bottom of the player ranks.
Under the corpse of the giant demon hunter, Lin Jie flipped over a design drawing.
Silent Assassin Blueprint: 1/50, you learn to craft the Epic-grade firearm - Silent Assassin. Requires player crafting level Master and NPC crafting level Advanced.
Lin Jie's eyebrows jumped as he opened the design diagram and recorded the properties of the fire gun.
Silent Assassin (Assassin's Creed)
Requires level 20, Strength over 600
Attack 287 - 655
Strength + 85
Stamina +90
Armor Penetration +20
Ignores 17% of defense
Additional: Five consecutive shots, continuous silence
Weight 32 pounds
Legendary-grade firearm! Lin Jie took a deep breath, but when he saw the materials required, he was completely at a loss. Required materials: Law Code Condensed Dark Ore*10, Lava Heart*5, Millennium Ice*5, Golden Silkwood*5, Earth Dragon Skeleton*1. Any one of these materials taken out would be worth a city, and Golden Silkwood and Lava Heart were things he had never even heard of.
But since it's a quasi-legendary blueprint, collecting it is always a good idea anyway.
Lin Jie put the map into his backpack, and he finally had some hope for this map. The map blocked the communication function, it was easy to get rid of it, and dying should be simple too.
As they ventured deeper into the front, the number of giant troll hunters increased several times over. Fortunately, these creatures didn't have a hatred chain, and Lin Jie skillfully used his Surrounding Word Technique to take them down. Even so, the attacks he suffered from in close combat still consumed almost all of his remaining bread and blood bottles.
The drop rate of Epic design drawings is also extremely low. Lin Jie killed 9 Giant Demon Hunters and only got 1.
Ding!
The broken blade blocked the giant demon's massive bow strike, and with a fierce swing, the war axe slammed into the giant demon's body, bringing up a huge 200-point critical hit number. The giant demon lay on its back on the ground, its corpse slowly disappearing.
"Mission accomplished! Reward: Bright Alliance reputation +10. Reward title [Imperial Army]! Next stage, kill 100 Wild Giant Hunter Heads."
Lin Jie took a glance at the title, 【Imperial Army】: Your attacks come with 5% Light Judgment, and when you reveal your title in the Radiant Alliance camp, you gain an additional 10 points of reputation bonus.
It's actually an attribute title. Attribute titles are extremely rare and can only be obtained by completing a series of rare achievements, just like equipping an extra piece of equipment. People who have obtained attribute titles in their past lives are extremely rare, and the Tyrant of Heaven is one of the craziest collectors of titles, owning over 100 attribute titles.
It seems that this task is not simple. The attribute title and the reputation of the Bright Alliance, which are almost impossible to obtain except for the mainline tasks, also explain this problem.
With the title of Imperial Army, 5% of damage will be converted into Judgment of Light, dealing an additional double damage to dark system monsters and ignoring defense, indirectly increasing output.
This giant demon suddenly exploded with a backpack.
Giant Backpack: 20-slot backpack. Directly equipping it will give you an additional 20 inventory slots. You are allowed to equip up to 4 backpacks at most.
Currently, the best-selling backpack on the market is a tailor-made 12-grid backpack, which costs around 3 silver coins. If a 20-grid backpack were to appear, it would probably set off a frenzy. Lin Jie equipped his backpack and continued to hunt down giant demon hunters. Although killing monsters didn't give him any experience, he still mustered up the spirit to continue, driven by curiosity about the task.
——————————
In front of the Cat Demon's lair, scattered players spontaneously cleared a path.
A team of people walked slowly, their equipment was very neat and emitted a dazzling light.
"My god, is this the elite team of Midnight Return? The person in the middle looks like a stupid fox!"
"That black armor beauty is Mo Xue!"
"A full set of bronze and silver equipment, I really want to join."
"You also need to have the ability to do so, the conditions for a triumphant return at midnight are very high."
Listening to the pedestrians' gossip, the foolish fox couldn't help but smile faintly. He stood in front of the bulletin board and looked at it carefully for a long time before saying, "Our goal today is to take it down."
"That's natural." Midnight smiled and stood behind him, after recording the video, he studied for a full 4 hours and finally decided to bring his team over to break the record.
At this time, the Resisting-the-Sky Shield also brought his team to the front of the instance, looking at the foolish fox and letting out a cold hum, "Fox, long time no see."
At midnight, he blinked his eyes and his line of sight passed through the crowd, falling on one person.
When he lowered his head to look at the bulletin board, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes - Zhān Yì!
