Final Barrier, Corrosive Poison Termite Race!

[Azure Flame Sparrow Tail Feather]

Rarity: E-Grade

Description: The core of power for the E-Grade Azure Flame Sparrow Race. It is an excellent material for tailoring apprentices to create E-Grade fire-attribute robes. Robes made from Azure Flame Sparrow Tail Feathers have an extremely gorgeous appearance and are very popular among female fire-attribute mages in E-Grade equipment!

Killing these Flamebirds wasn't difficult, but the corpses of two hundred birds were scattered everywhere.

In the branches, in the grass, on the ground... plus the Flamebirds' small bodies, it took Xu Kun a lot of effort just to find them one by one.

But adhering to the principle that every grain is hard-earned, Xu Kun meticulously searched every Flamebird corpse.

This Level 9 monster gave decent loot, actually the main material for crafting E-Grade fire-attribute robes!

Pinching a flame-shaped feather between two fingers, Xu Kun marveled, "This little thing is quite exquisite. If I change to a fire-attribute mage class after the novice trial, I can consider making a set for myself!"

Thinking this, Xu Kun carefully stored the feathers away!

The Level 1-9 monster area had been cleared by Xu Kun, and the completion of the Mist Island trial had reached 54%!

Looking up, through the old nest of the Flamebirds—the tall forest in front of him—through the gaps, he could vaguely see the building shrouded in white mist!

That was the center of Mist Island, and also the destination of Xu Kun's novice trial!

And the Level 10 monsters he was about to face were blocking the entrance to the Desolate Shrine at the final destination!

Xu Kun was very sure of this!

He not only knew that the Level 10 monsters were there, but even without the Myriad Races Bestiary to describe them, he had accurate information about the Level 10 monsters!

This was naturally because many members of the Human Race had undergone the Mist Island trial in history. The types of monsters in the Level 1-9 monster areas were different each time. Counting them all, there might be thousands of types. No one could say for sure which race of monsters they would encounter in this trial!

But the Level 10 monsters were all the same!

Because the Level 10 monsters were a special race of monsters unique to Mist Island. This race was different from other races. It was not that the Haotian Pagoda had plundered creatures from the outside world into the tower through the "Great Cleansing," but rather that it was cultivated by the climate of Mist Island!

The name of this race was: Corrosive Poison Termite Race!

Crossing the Flamebird habitat and climbing continuously, Xu Kun felt as if he were in a cloud of mist!

The Desolate Shrine was both the center of the island and its highest point. The trial-takers had to go deep from the edge of the island, climb all the way, and go through many hardships to see the true appearance of the final destination of Mist Island!

Holding the Myriad Races Bestiary in his palm, Xu Kun climbed upwards step by step. Soon, he could hear rustling sounds in his ears!

Looking up, his body shook, and goosebumps broke out all over him!

At the end of his vision was a tall and majestic ancient building, but under the erosion of time, it had become dilapidated. The grandeur it should have had had become a pile of broken bricks and tiles!

What made people feel even more uncomfortable was that between the broken walls, insects the thickness of fingers were climbing back and forth. The rustling sound he had just heard was the sound of these white insects scurrying around!

The Myriad Races Bestiary flashed, and a blank page appeared in front of him. These white insects wandering in the crevices of the Desolate Shrine turned a deaf ear to Xu Kun, the uninvited guest.

Health Points: 400-420

Physical Defense: 30-31

Magic Defense: 30-31

Poison Attribute Attack: 110

Evasion: Unable to evade "Kun's" attacks

Introduction: A unique F-Grade race born from the climate of Mist Island, using its long-range poison attribute attacks to block anyone trying to enter the shrine!

This was the last Level 10 race of monsters that every Mist Island trial-taker had to face!

These Corrosive Poison Termites had one characteristic, which was that they would not leave the area of the shrine's broken walls. Even if an outsider approached, as long as you did not approach its attack range, it would not even bother to look at you!

But once you got close, they would collectively spray poison, forming a large area of Poison Swamp. With its terrifying 110 points of poison attribute attack, even Xu Kun's current health points could not withstand the attacks of ten Corrosive Poison Termites!

Some people might think that only ranged classes could deal with this race!

Indeed, ranged classes were more popular on the Mist Island map, but that did not mean it was easy to deal with this race!

Because once damage was inflicted, these Corrosive Poison Termites would quickly hide in the crevices of the shrine. With the destructive power of the novice stage, it was not enough to destroy the shrine's defenses!

The Corrosive Poison Termites were the last barrier of the shrine, and the shrine had become their shelter!

And the more troublesome point was that the Corrosive Poison Termites had two skills. Once the trial-taker was trapped in the Poison Swamp, not only would they face high health loss, but the health points lost would also be absorbed and restored by the Corrosive Poison Termites!

This kind of rogue tactic allowed many trial-takers who could cause damage to it to watch helplessly as it regained full health!

But what was even more despairing was not just this!

It was mentioned earlier that in the Level 1-10 monster areas, killing 100 of each level's race of monsters would give you 6% completion. Killing all 10 levels of monsters would give you 60% completion!

And to get the lowest F-grade evaluation, you have to enter the Desolate Shrine!

This 1% seems like a freebie, but it's not!

Because in the previous monster zones, to speed things up, you could choose to kill 100 monsters and then skip the current monster zone to go to the next one to get completion!

But when facing the final Corrosive Poison Termite Race, unless you kill all 200 Corrosive Poison Termites, the remaining termites will still defend this last line of defense, preventing you from entering the shrine!

In the history of the Human Race, it's not like no one has made it to this final stage on the Mist Island map, but many people, because they couldn't kill all 200 Corrosive Poison Termites within the 7-day trial period, ultimately sighed in despair and failed the trial!

In the metal bracelet, the following solutions are given for this final level 10 monster zone.

First: Ranged classes, using their reach advantage, control the distance well, and slowly grind all the Corrosive Poison Termites to death—provided there's enough time!

Second: People with high agility and high movement speed can choose guerrilla tactics, dodging the Poison Swamp of the Corrosive Poison Termites, and killing the termites. Of course, if time is short, these people can also choose to give up killing the termites and directly break into the shrine!

Third: High stamina, high health, take the dumbest approach, tank the damage, kill a certain number, retreat, heal up, and then go forward again.

Xu Kun had already read these guides, but the conclusion of the guides is: unless you are one of the following (ranged, high agility, high stamina, naturally have high poison resistance or have poison resistance equipment), you can pass the barrier of the Corrosive Poison Termites.

But if it is a melee high-attack type trial-taker, the probability of passing the barrier of the Corrosive Poison Termites is: 5%!

This final probability is still based on the comprehensive calculation of all melee trial-takers in the history of the Human Race who have reached this final stage, which shows how desperate it is!

Unfortunately, Xu Kun is currently a melee trial-taker!

Regarding the Corrosive Poison Termite Race, which is known as the "last barrier of the Mist Island Shrine," Xu Kun, as a melee fighter, is not very worried!

A Wildfire is cast, and although these termites scatter and flee, trying to escape into the gaps to avoid the attack, there are still many who can't escape in time and are roasted into dried insects!

Ding, you killed 6 Corrosive Poison Termites, gaining 1.8% experience, current experience pool level 8 7.6%!

"Tsk tsk, killing monsters two levels higher only gives 0.3% experience per monster. Even if I kill all the Corrosive Poison Termites, I won't be able to reach level 9!"

This is still based on the fact that Xu Kun killed a Minotaur Chieftain before, and the experience pool directly increased by one level!

But according to the guide, assuming there is no boss, trial-takers need to kill all level 1-10 monsters on the Mist Island map, and then enter the shrine and kill the two Shrine Guardians, and then the experience will just reach level 10!

It is said that the last two elite monsters give the most experience!

If not, you can only complete the trial and get the trial reward to be forcibly promoted to level 10, otherwise you will not be able to change jobs!

After a Wildfire, Xu Kun didn't move, didn't use Explosive Fireball to snipe, and didn't get close to the attack range of the Corrosive Poison Termites.

He was waiting!

Waiting for the three-minute cooldown of Wrath of the Fire Dragon!

What guides, what 5% passing rate for melee trial-takers, these are all garbage in front of the Flame Spirit Sword's special skills!

Xu Kun didn't want to do things that were strenuous and unrewarding. He was confident in solving the two elite monsters in the shrine, and he didn't need Wrath of the Fire Dragon. The only thing left was the final boss, and he didn't need to rely on Wrath of the Fire Dragon either!

Wrath of the Fire Dragon: So my role is to clear small monsters?

In the quiet space, above is the white mist that gathers and never disperses all year round, which is the origin of the Human Race's name for "Mist Island"!

Xu Kun stared, looking at the busy Corrosive Poison Termites in the distance, not knowing what they were busy with.

The Corrosive Poison Termites had just lost some of their clansmen, but they ignored Xu Kun, the insect-killing murderer. After the fire rain subsided, they continued to scurry back and forth on their own!

In this atmosphere, Xu Kun finally waited for the prompt that Wrath of the Fire Dragon had finished cooling down!

Without hesitation, he swung his sword and slashed. The original 3-meter fire line was just a small flame in front of the huge fire dragon that was about to emerge!

Wrath of the Fire Dragon did not disappoint, not only ravaging the Corrosive Poison Termite Race, but also causing most of the crumbling shrine walls to collapse.

Rumble, the walls finally collapsed, burying a group of termite corpses!

This last barrier, in front of Wrath of the Fire Dragon, directly overturned its home!

Ding, you killed 194 Corrosive Poison Termites, gaining 58.2% experience, current experience pool level 8 65.8%!

Ding, your novice trial completion +6%, current: 60%!

Ding, congratulations on completing the kill of 100 F-grade race Corrosive Poison Termites, Myriad Races Bestiary takes effect, congratulations on obtaining the F-grade skill Poison Source Conversion!

Poison Source Conversion

Rarity: F-grade Passive Skill

Effect: 5% of the damage caused by poison attribute attacks can restore health

Xu Kun frowned. After clearing 10 monster zones in a row, the skills given by the other 9 races can be said to be useful!

Only this skill given by the last level 10 monster is directly useless for Xu Kun, who currently has 0 poison attribute attacks!

Moreover, the Corrosive Poison Termite swarm was cleared by the prodigal skill Wrath of the Fire Dragon. Those insect corpses that turned into dust probably cannot provide anything!

"Alas, a losing business!"

Not enough experience to level up, the skill obtained is also rotten, and there is no chance to pick up corpses, which he likes the most!

"Okay, just treat it as pest control!" Xu Kun smiled, stepped on a fallen rubble, and prepared to enter the Desolate Shrine to carry out the last two steps!

However, when he was only a short distance away from the shrine, he suddenly felt cold all over, and a feeling of being stared at by a terrible existence was like ten thousand insects climbing on him!

Intuition told him that taking another step forward would mean death!

Ding, you...
