Even with a 300,000 HP zombie guard, Kurumi didn't take long to kill it in her transformed form.
It took about forty minutes to resolve this contamination point, killing nearly two thousand ghouls and ten Ghoul Sentry.
Su Xi asked Yan Hu and the others to come down and help clean up the loot dropped by the ghouls. The loot dropped by ordinary ghouls was not worth looking at at all, only the loot dropped by Ghoul Sentry was worth a look.
However, none of it was of any use to Su Xi. With so many monsters and not a single rare item, Su Xi was too lazy to put these things up for auction. She simply sold them all to Yan Hu, since he had the backing of the country and would never be short of money.
"Uh... we haven't figured out the game's item prices yet. Su, how much do you think these things are worth?" Yan Hu and his group asked Su Xi after sorting through all the dropped items.
Su Xi roughly estimated that the value should be between 200 and 500 Gold Coin.
"350 Gold Coin," Su Xi suggested, offering a compromise.
Yan Hu nodded, and after handing over the Gold Coin, he instructed his men to pack all the ordinary equipment and items into their backpacks.
Then unfold the map and look at the location of the next ghoul.
Su Xi used the same method to successfully clear away the ghouls from the other three contaminated locations.
Successfully pushed the experience bar to 90%.
After clearing out all the monsters on the periphery, Su Xi led them toward the center of the map.
We were almost at the center.
The players behind him gasped in surprise.
There's a monster in the ground!
"Damn it, it grabbed my leg, you bastard!"
Several players didn't even have a chance to speak before being sent back to the Emerald City respawn point by the claws that broke through the mud.
For a normal level 38 player, being grabbed by these monsters is nothing, but these people are only level 11 or so. Fighting them with the stats of level 38 monsters is like beating their own sons.
Kurumi Incarnation and swiftly fired several shots, killing the zombies hiding underground.
Su Xi said, "You should go back. If there are still Tsuchima Shiki on the road ahead, you will all die and have to go back sooner or later."
"Alright." Yan Hu did not force anyone to stay and led everyone to retreat.
Without needing to take care of these burdens, Su Xi transformed into Ilena, had Kurumi Incarnation sit behind her, and flew towards the center point.
Meanwhile, on Yan Hu's side...
The Childe masters had some complaints about Yan Hu's unhesitating retreat.
After all, it's time to fight the big boss next. If we can get a little bit of help, we might level up on the spot.
"Actually, even if we die and go back, we'll only enter a weakened state. Besides, we don't all need to go to the end. If only one or two of us can reach the final boss with Boss Su, that's considered a success."
"I have an intermediate agility talent, which has greatly increased my evasion rate. If I'm lucky, I should be able to reach the boss point smoothly."
"Doesn't Boss Su have a flying Witch avatar? She could carry me there one by one, right?"
Several Childe men spoke with a sense of wishful thinking.
Yan Hu pretended not to hear these words; since they weren't his soldiers, he couldn't easily manage them.
Luck is a hope that one only looks forward to when one is in a desperate situation.
Yan Hu was more inclined to believe that if they had continued following them, they would have been wiped out before they even reached the boss room with Boss Su.
"Alright, let's head back now. While we're at it, let's see if Emerald City has any special items or equipment we can buy back," Yan Hu said.
Seeing that Yan Hu had no intention of retreating, the young Childe had no choice but to follow.
Ilena flew through the air for a distance.
I didn't expect that what looked close on the map would actually take quite a long flight to reach the destination.
By avoiding contact with the ground, they were spared attacks from the Tsuchima Shiki, but they could not avoid attacks from the bat monsters. Fortunately, Kurumi Incarnation, sitting in the back, was able to deal with the bat monsters.
After flying for a while...
Ilena saw a purple treasure chest placed on a stone platform.
"Oh my, it seems our Genius Witch is quite lucky. She found the treasure chest before even fighting the boss," Kurumi Incarnation teased from behind.
Ilena rolled her eyes. "Stop role-playing, or I'll develop a split personality when we get back."
In order to maximize the power of Kurumi Incarnation, when Ilena splits into different forms, she copies her complete memories to the other form.
If Kurumi Incarnation develops thoughts completely different from her original self, the original self will be in great distress.
"You can Soul Split, so why are you worried about splitting your personality?" Kurumi retorted irritably.
"What you're saying... actually makes sense..."
Ilena didn't know how to refute for a moment, and just then she flew to the small platform.
Treasure chests do exist in the wild, but they are extremely rare.
However, the number of treasure chests in the wild is fixed; once you open one, another one will appear in another location.
As soon as Ilena landed, several ghouls appeared around the treasure chest.
After easily resolving the situation, Su Xi canceled her avatar and happily rubbed her hands together. "Come on, let me see the Saintess's luck and potential."
Open the treasure chest and take out what's inside.
[Equipment Awakening Copper Stone] *1
[Random Rare Skill Book for This Class] *1
"Huh, both of these things are useful to me."
Click to use the skill book.
The system immediately displayed a notification: "Ding! [Random Rare Skill Book for Your Class] successfully activated. Congratulations on obtaining [Magic Shield Lv.1]!"
Magic Shield, a basic skill you start with after job advancement...
But how am I supposed to use this skill? Using magic to offset damage? I'd rather use my health as the magic cost...
Oh well, it's my profession anyway, I might as well use it.
After using the skill book, the Magic Shield skill leveled up to Lv.2.
There is also a [Equipment Awakening Copper Stone].
Currently, it has three rare incarnations: Theresa, Ilena, and Nymph.
Theresa is somewhat reluctant to use the Holy Grace Divine Cult because of her experience with it. Nymph is purely the embodiment of real-world power, and in the game, her support functions are not particularly strong, and she may even be inferior to the incarnation of the Yoshino Mop God of War, Yoshino.
Therefore, this stone can only be used to awaken [Ilena]'s weapon.
"I hope Ilena's weapon has the property of restoring magic power," Su Xi, who had transformed into Ilena's avatar, prayed.
Having not obtained this incarnation in her previous life, she also did not know the attributes of Ilena's weapon.
Ilena's Wand
Wearing level: Lv.1
Quality: Rare
Type: Weapon/Wand
Attributes: Attack Power +50, Elemental Damage +5%
Effect ①: Base Intelligence +5
Active Skill ①: [Magic Storage]: Consumes mana to store magic skills. Currently, the maximum number that can be stored is 3.
Passive Skill ①: [Mana Penetration]: The magic released has the attribute of 'guaranteed hit', the enemy's evasion skills are ineffective, and the skill cost is reduced by 10%.
Uh... it's a very ordinary attribute.
Everything else is too ordinary, except for the weapon's active skill, which is a pleasant surprise.
The passive skill grants the casted spells a 'guaranteed hit' attribute, which is quite rare, but it's basically useless in PVE, and in PVP, Ilena's avatar's damage isn't enough either.
