Chapter 40 The Killing is in Progress! Crypt Demon!
It is true.
Su Bai looked at the golden hoe and thought to himself.
The golden hoe is not a weapon, and it can be said that it does not enhance his combat power in the slightest.
However, its effect is peculiar and it has only appeared in the novice area.
Moreover, the golden hoe is the only item in the Tower of God, and its rarity is even not inferior to some legendary items.
Of course, Su Bai didn't expect it to be used as a weapon.
He hung the golden hoe on his back again, and the system prompt came to his ears again:
[Ding! A large wave of crypt demons is approaching. Players are requested to prepare for the attack. Countdown 59, 58, 57...]
Su Bai let out a long breath and drew out a novice long sword of impressive quality from his waist.
Because of the [Clock of All Things], his current attribute values are higher than any time he participated in the Test of Gods in his previous life.
"If we fail this time, it will be more than just a loss of face."
Su Bai narrowed his eyes and talked to himself.
He stood in the center of the reef with a long sword in hand. The sharp touch pierced into the soles of his feet through his boots of equally impressive quality. The slight stinging allowed his brain to stay clear.
This reef area is quite large, about one thousand square meters.
But his range of movement is limited. Once he slips and falls into the lava, he will be instantly burned to ashes by the small flames.
Don’t ask how Su Bai knew this, this is a painful lesson.
Soon, the space on all sides began to distort, and subterranean demons crawled out of it.
The appearance of a crypt demon resembles a puffed-up version of a spider.
The eight slender toes are equipped with iron tools as hard as horseshoes, and the chelicerae float slightly in the air, appearing extremely flexible.
Su Bai concentrated slightly. The subterranean demon in front of him was no match for the monsters in ordinary copies of the Tower of God.
They are all level 10 monsters. Except for their health, there is no difference in their attribute panels among the fourth and fifth floors.
[Monster]: Crypt Demon
【Type】: Elite
[Level]: 10
[Magic Attack]: 250
[Defense]: 180
[HP]: 2000
[Skills]: 1. Spider web; 2. Burrowing
…
A definite elite monster panel.
Just this alone , Su Bai is naturally not afraid.
The attacks of the crypt demons were magical, and their superiority lay in their sheer numbers; they were seen crawling out of the portal continuously.
One hundred, two hundred...
The portal shows no sign of closing.
Su Bai knew that he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise the entire reef area would be filled with subterranean demons.
Once the number of crypt demons reaches a certain scale, the attacks they emit will make him unavoidable.
He took the initiative to move forward with a long sword in hand.
“Swish!”
The sword chopped down the center of a crypt demon's claws, leaving a deep gash in its mouth.
"Critical hit! HP -500!"
A critical hit health deduction prompt floated above its head.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss~~”
A scream came from its mouth.
"Tsk, that's just a little damage."
However, Su Bai was not very satisfied with the damage caused by the cut.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he attacked again while the other subterranean demons were not surrounding him.
"Cut the steel!"
There was a sharp sword energy attached to the long sword, and it chopped towards the head of the subterranean demon with unmatched attack.
“Swish!”
"Critical hit! HP -2000!"
"One strike will kill!"
Several prompts floated up, and the crypt demon in front of him let out a scream, then quickly turned into a ball of black smoke and exploded in an instant.
The ground was as clean as if it had never been there.
[Ding! Number of demons killed +1, points +1, your current points are: 1. ]
【Please keep going! 】
System prompts sounded in my ears.
"Still so stingy."
Su Bai complained, but did not stop his actions. He raised his sword and attacked the underground demon again.
"Cut the steel!"
"Cut the steel!"
“…”
He kept swinging his sword, accurately hitting the weak spot on the top of the crypt demon's head and causing series of critical damage.
The seemingly simple attack actually involves extremely advanced combat skills.
In fact, in the novice stage, since new players have no skills, magic value is basically just for decoration and has no use.
In the past, many high-level players in the Tower of God studied a lot of practical combat techniques in order to solve the embarrassment of not being able to use magic power during the novice period.
[Zhan Gang] is one of them.
The so-called [Cutting Steel] is to condense the sword energy into the long sword, increasing the sharpness and damage of the long sword.
Sword Qi is one of the common combat skills for melee players in Tower of God.
Can be used on many melee weapons.
When it affects swords, it is called sword energy.
When it affects sword-like weapons, it is called sword energy...
Although the names are different, the techniques used are the same.
Originally, sword energy was a skill used by many high-level melee players.
However, through the research of many high-level players in the previous life, it was discovered that most of the common skills can actually be used in another form.
Because the energy originally consumed by sword energy comes from magic power.
In other words, as long as you can use magic power properly, you can use sword energy.
And the more proficient you are in using sword energy, the stronger the effect of sword energy will be.
[Cutting Steel] is one of the ways to use sword energy.
In addition, there are skills such as [Sword Qi Long] and [Sword Qi Assault], which can greatly increase the player's combat effectiveness.
If Su Bai didn't know these skills, he would not be able to pass the test even if he had experience in dealing with these monsters.
"Critical hit! HP -2000!"
"One hit kills*3!"
The long sword slashed out three times in succession, and three more subterranean demons were successfully killed, turning into black mist and dissipating in the air.
[Ding! Number of demons killed +3, points +3, your current points are: 10]
[Warm Tips: Accumulate 100 points to get a chance to recover. ]
System prompts sounded in my ears.
When Su Bai heard this reminder, the worry between his brows finally relaxed.
It seems that the copy pattern is basically the same as the previous life, without much deviation.
"Rustle, rustle..."
I saw that the surrounding subterranean demons gradually formed a certain scale.
They rubbed their big mouths with the two chelicerae on top of their heads, and then spit out countless small black particles from their mouths.
This is a form of dark magic.
These small black particles float in the air and look slow, but they are actually extremely harmful.
They spit out an attack from their mouths, which contains hundreds of small black particles.
Each small black particle can cause 3 to 5 points of damage. If hundreds of them hit, the damage value will be hundreds of points.
In addition, their numbers are considerable, and hundreds of monsters often launch a round of attacks together.
If Su Bai was hit just three or two times, he would die before he could even recover.
"Cut the steel!"
"Cut the steel!"
"Flash gap!"
“…”
Su Bai's figure moved quickly on the reef, dodging the dense attacks in the little remaining space.
The originally ordinary long sword flashed with cold light under the blessing of sword energy .
As sword after sword fell, the number of subterranean demons was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He must be 100% focused and cannot make any mistakes.
The portals around showed no signs of closing.
After batches of crypt demons turned into black mist and dissipated, more crypt demons crawled out of the portal and quickly filled the vacancies of their companions.
