Ding! As the Destined Divine Weapon grew, you comprehended a new skill—Piercing Shot. Piercing Shot: Consumes 20 Mana Points to fire a Mana Bullet with a piercing effect, dealing damage equal to 150% of Attack Power to multiple targets. The bullet's damage decreases with distance and the number of targets hit. Cooldown: 10 seconds. (Note: Can only be used while a firearm is equipped.)
"Fuck, I finally have a skill too!"
Nan Feng was overjoyed. This was like being handed a pillow just when he was getting sleepy!
This Piercing Shot could barely be considered an area-of-effect skill, and it could greatly improve Nan Feng's efficiency in hunting ferocious beasts.
Rubbing his hands excitedly, Nan Feng looked at the weapon in his hand again.
His Desert Eagle and Wooden Dagger could also level up as the Destined Divine Weapon leveled up.
Desert Eagle:
Current Grade: Peak F-rank (increases along with the Dilapidated Armory)
Type: Weapon
Attributes: Strength +20, Energy +16
—Each attack consumes 3 Mana Points and deals damage equal to 120% of Attack Power to the enemy hit.
—Equipment from the Dilapidated Armory.
Wooden Dagger:
Current Grade: Peak F-rank (increases along with the Dilapidated Armory)
Type: Weapon
Attributes: Strength +24, Agility +6, Vitality +6
—Each attack deals damage equal to 110%–130% of Attack Power to the enemy.
—Slightly enhances the bleeding effect.
—Equipment from the Dilapidated Armory.
There were no major changes to these two pieces of equipment, only some increases to their base attributes.
However, it was worth mentioning that the Desert Eagle's normal attack damage had risen to 120%. That meant every one of Nan Feng's attacks now dealt 1.2 times its previous damage, while consuming only 3 Mana Points per shot.
This was an enormous improvement!
"Now that feels good."
Nan Feng glanced at his stats and nodded in satisfaction.
His Strength had already reached 48, and his Attack Power had reached 240. It was terrifying.
Name: Nan Feng Level: Level 4 (162/1800) Health Points: 280/280 Mana Points: 340/340 Attack Power: 240 Defense Power: 93 Strength: 48 Agility: 22 Vitality: 28 Energy: 34 ...
Other than his slightly low Health Points, all his other attributes were quite high.
"I still have 10 free attribute points. Should I just add them all?"
When Nan Feng advanced from Level 2 to Level 3 and from Level 3 to Level 4, he had received 5 free attribute points each time, but he had been saving them.
Now, Nan Feng decided to put them all into Strength and directly max out his damage output!
Strength: 58!
Attack Power: 290!
With all 10 free attribute points spent, Nan Feng's Attack Power instantly reached 290!
"Hell yeah, this Someone Nan has gone from a peashooter to a cannon!"
Takeoff!
Nan Feng had just used the Eye of Insight to inspect the Cave Spider King's attributes. That giant spider had 210 Defense Power, so Nan Feng had been completely unable to hurt it before.
But Nan Feng's Attack Power was now high enough to break through its defense.
He could go back and take a risk.
After putting the Crude Disassembler back into his backpack, Nan Feng carefully walked toward the cave.
At the cave entrance.
Nan Feng poked his head out and looked around for a while, but he did not spot the Cave Spider King.
Instead, many little spiders were slowly crawling out.
"Spiderlings..."
Nan Feng activated the Eye of Insight and obtained the little spiders' attributes.
"Level 3, 280 Health Points, 65 Defense Power..."
Nan Feng quickly calculated it in his head—
(290 * 1.2) - 65 = 283.
Nan Feng could kill one Spiderling with a single shot.
In that instant, the Spiderlings became adorable little creatures in Nan Feng's eyes.
They were all delicious experience points!
Whoosh! Nan Feng stopped hesitating and raised his hand to fire a shot!
-311!
Ding! You killed a Level 3 ordinary ferocious beast, Spiderling, and gained 15 experience points.
Nan Feng froze. "Huh? Why was the damage so high?"
This was different from Nan Feng's own calculation.
Nan Feng recalled his previous battles and realized that his damage did indeed increase somewhat when hunting ferocious beasts lower level than himself.
About a 10% increase in damage?
Shaking his head, Nan Feng stopped dwelling on such details and began focusing on hunting Spiderlings.
He still had over 300 Mana Points, enough to kill at least 100 Spiderlings. That was equivalent to over 1,500 experience points!
Nan Feng even felt that he had a chance to reach Level 5 today!
Time to work!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nan Feng raised the Desert Eagle and picked off the Spiderlings one by one.
Occasionally, one or two shots missed, but it did not matter much.
Ding! You killed a Level 3 ordinary ferocious beast, Spiderling, and gained 15 experience points. Ding! You killed a Level 3 ordinary ferocious beast, Spiderling, and gained 15 experience points. Ding! You killed a Level 3 ordinary ferocious beast, Spiderling, and gained 15 experience points.
As he killed monsters, Nan Feng pushed forward, soon approaching the fork in the road from before.
Nan Feng cautiously glanced down the passage on the right. Seeing no sign of the Cave Spider King, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If the Cave Spider King were still guarding this place, he would have had to turn back.
Opening the panel, Nan Feng sent Su Ziran a message. "Brother, how are things on your end? Can you still hold on?"
After waiting for a while, Su Ziran finally replied, "At most half an hour. There are too many spiders. We can't kill them all, and our Mana Points can't recover fast enough."
A mana recovery potion took 10 minutes to restore 50 Mana Points. In such intense combat, 50 Mana Points would probably be used up in 30 seconds. How could that possibly be enough?
Wu Yuansheng and the others had already started fighting hand-to-hand.
Nan Feng looked down the passage on the left and saw that it was indeed filled with Spiderlings, forming a dense mass.
"Perfect. I can try out my new skill."
Nan Feng lay flat on the ground, keeping the Desert Eagle about five centimeters above the floor.
He pulled the trigger!
Whoosh!
Twenty Mana Points surged from Nan Feng's body into the Desert Eagle, and an eight-centimeter-long, spiraling Mana Bullet shot out of the barrel!
Piercing Shot!
The Piercing Shot howled along the ground, piercing through 17 Spiderlings in a row before finally stopping!
"Awesome!"
The power of Piercing Shot far exceeded Nan Feng's expectations.
Especially in a situation where ferocious beasts were packed so densely together, Piercing Shot was practically a divine skill!
It just consumed a bit too much mana.
Nan Feng checked his status panel. He had 127 Mana Points remaining, enough for another six shots.
Besides his Mana Points, Nan Feng also noticed his experience points: (1092/1800).
"I still need 708 experience points to level up. That means I need to kill another 48 Spiderlings."
For Nan Feng, who had Piercing Shot, killing 48 Spiderlings was no difficult task.
Nan Feng immediately fired another Piercing Shot.
This time, his luck was worse. After killing only 9 Spiderlings, the bullet got lodged in the wall and disappeared.
39 more to go!
