Strength Increased, Soloing a Skeleton Warrior

When Li Wei and the others came out from their resting corner, more than half of the group had changed into new clothes.

It should be noted that all defensive armor can be set to an invisible state, but this state cannot exert its full defensive power. Therefore, invisible armor is only used in the real world, and no one would choose invisible armor in a mission where their life is truly at stake.

Therefore, the new armor worn by everyone stood out particularly.

Li Wei's +5 leather set has been replaced by a +3 Jade Set. To be able to collect this complete jade set, Li Wei's luck can be considered quite good.

In the game world of Shadow Street, basically every time you kill a monster, it will drop items, and the dropped items are divided into two types.

One type is where items drop directly, such as swords, armor, and gold coins.

Another type is the 'Treasure Chest' mode. Li Wei already knew about the Treasure Chest mode during the second mission. It involves randomly dropping a Treasure Chest after defeating a monster. The Treasure Chest are divided into five levels: ordinary wood (white), excellent Iron Skin (green), superior silver (blue), legendary purple gold (purple), and supreme gold (gold).

Of course, this was all hearsay for Li Wei; he had only ever seen white wooden 'Treasure Chest'. After opening the Treasure Chest, items would appear randomly, such as weapons, armor, or even points; anything was possible.

Generally speaking, the chance of Treasure Chest dropping after defeating a monster is very small, only about 1 in 10, and the probability of getting good items is even smaller. However, compared to the fixed drop pattern, the 'Treasure Chest' obviously has infinite possibilities.

It's this endless potential that makes it so irresistible.

Some reincarnators even became addicted to opening Treasure Chest.

Because the exhilarating feeling of opening a whole bunch of Treasure Chest at once is something that nothing else can replace.

On the first floor, Li Wei and his companions killed a total of 500 skeletons, over 100 Venomous Insect, and more than 200 Cyclops and Ghost, but only a little over 30 Treasure Chest dropped.

There were more than 30 Treasure Chest, most of which were ordinary white wooden Treasure Chest, with only a very small number being excellent green Iron Skin Treasure Chest. However, it was from these few green Treasure Chest that a few rare pieces of the Jade Set were found: a breastplate, leg guards, and shoes. Moreover, they were all +3 level minor rare items.

Adding to the several pieces of the Jade Set that had dropped earlier, Li Wei was lucky enough to collect a complete set of Emerald Armor. This set of armor had an astonishingly high defense, reaching 231, and it also had an additional 'Defense Enhancement' attribute. Therefore, Li Wei directly exercised his captain's privilege and took the set of armor for himself.

Lang Ping, Seventy-Two, and 99 Knight, who had been eyeing the armor for a while, all watched with envy as Li Wei put on the Jade Set piece by piece.

When the final dark, bull-head-shaped helmet was placed on his head, Li Wei looked like a demon god just released from a dungeon, exuding a murderous aura.

The +3 level equipment, with its slightly dark color, blends seamlessly with the surrounding stone slabs in this dungeon, serving as excellent camouflage.

As for Li Wei's weapon, he abandoned the +7 Latin Sword and instead chose a weapon that surprised everyone.

[Meteor Hammer]

Even back when playing games, this weapon was rarely chosen—no, practically nobody chose it. Not only was its quality low, but its attributes were also mediocre, and its attack power was nothing to brag about. Most importantly, hammer-type weapons all share a common problem: they are difficult to use.

Such weapons are generally not something that reincarnators are willing to use; they prefer to wield knives and swords to slay monsters.

"Captain, if you don't have a suitable weapon, how about... I take this 'Betrayer'? It's not a great weapon, but it has an attack skill, so it's better than that hammer..." Because Li Wei had assigned the dazzling +7 Latin Sword to Seventy-Two, the latter generously took off his sword and wanted to hand it to Li Wei.

The Betrayer's Sword is far superior to the Meteor Hammer. Even the Meteor Hammer with top-tier attributes cannot compare to the most ordinary Betrayer's Sword.

However, Li Wei declined Seventy-Two's offer, as he had his own plans.

The +7 Latin Sword looks good, but it's actually a piece of junk. He himself wouldn't use it, so he might as well give it to Seventy-Two. As for the Meteor Hammer in his hand, it's just a temporary weapon. What he really wants is the 'sword' dropped by a monster on the third floor.

Now that we've given them Seventy-Two, if the sword comes out later, it will be perfectly legitimate to take it.

Holding the Meteor Hammer in his hand, Li Wei swung it once and nodded in satisfaction. The Meteor Hammer was about 1.5 meters long, and the hammerhead seemed to be made of refined iron, about the size of a coconut, except that this coconut was covered with sharp spikes, making it extremely powerful.

With his current strength of around 50 points, he can easily wield this heavy hammer-like weapon; however, Li Wei doesn't want to use it all the time.

"This thing should be pretty effective against skeletons and fragile wizards, right?" Li Wei muttered to himself.

The reason I chose this Meteor Hammer is because there's a rather annoying monster on the second level of the dungeon: the Necromancer!

This creature that can unleash 'Thunder in the Palm' magic is extremely fragile, but its magical power is incredibly strong. If Li Wei remembers correctly, fragile wizards are generally afraid of hammer-type weapons. (The idea that wizards are afraid of hammer-type weapons is a setting of An Hei and has nothing to do with the game. Please do not take it personally.)

Imagine, how could their fragile and delicate bodies withstand the 'touch' of this iron thing? They would die instantly if they were touched or even touched!

Furthermore, hammer-type weapons also have a damage bonus when attacking skeleton-type monsters (this is also An Hei invention, please do not take it personally), so using a hammer is more practical than using a knife or sword here.

Of course, the Meteor Hammer in Li Wei's hand was also a minor top-grade item that had been Stacking three times. For this, Li Wei had consumed at least 10 Meteor Hammer, because the Art of Stacking was not 100% successful.

Fortunately, this time Stacking weapons were low-level, so the success rate was not bad. If it Stacking high-level weapons, Li Wei would probably have to reconsider Stacking success rate.

Besides Li Wei, Zheng Yutong also changed into a 'Heavenly Silkworm' outfit. With her elven bloodline, she looked even more captivating. Every simple gesture she made could make a normal man's heart race, especially since the Heavenly Silkworm Set was a short skirt style.

Stealing a glance at those flawless long legs, Li Wei let out a deep breath. This little girl was getting more and more alluring. Fortunately, almost all the male reincarnators had lecherous looks on their faces, so Li Wei's reaction was quite natural.

After navigating several dark corridors, Li Wei and his group arrived at a 'Land of Withered Bones'. The ground was covered with black, rotting soil, with countless skeletons half-buried within. Every step they took caused a clattering sound as they touched the bones.

Two enormous skeletons, each 3 meters tall, blocked the way for the group.

With their jet-black bones and wielding 'Flying Axe' and 'Skeleton Shield', these Skeleton Warriors are undoubtedly among the strongest of the skeleton monsters. Their health is also astonishingly high, reaching 800, so even though there are only two of them, they are definitely not easy to deal with.

"Leave one for me, the other one, you attack together. Be careful to dodge its axe attacks!" Li Wei said as he charged towards a Skeleton Warrior.

The distance of over ten meters was covered in an instant. Although Li Wei had concealed his aura, he did not deliberately hide his killing intent. The Skeleton Warrior were indeed powerful among skeleton creatures. Sensing the killing intent, they immediately swung their battle axes and slashed at Li Wei.

Prepared for this, Li Wei dodged the attack and swung his Meteor Hammer with both hands, smashing it into the Skeleton Warrior's thigh bone. With a crisp sound, several Rift appeared in the thick thigh bone after Li Wei's blow.

-90

The Meteor Hammer deals decent damage and can cause bone fractures.

Sure enough, because of the Rift in his leg bone, the Skeleton Warrior moved much slower. Seeing this, Li Wei chuckled and swung his iron hammer to continue pounding.

The Rakshasa Three Forms have been fully integrated into Li Wei's attack moves, and each strike deals more than twice the damage of other reincarnators.

'Boom!' The attack struck the Skeleton Warrior's back, dealing 104 damage.

At the same time, the Skeleton Warrior's Skeleton Shield slammed down towards Li Wei, but Li Wei remained calm and simply raised his hand to unleash the ' Qi Blast Technique.

The original Qi Blast Technique directly releases all the true qi in the body to generate tremendous power, forcing the opponent to fly out or increasing one's own mobility. However, Li Wei, who has mastered the first level of the 'True Qi-Controlling Formula', has a completely different way of using true qi now.

Now, he's at a master level.

Controlling the quantity and direction of the true Qi Blast —things that were previously impossible—are now incredibly easy.

As Li Wei's left hand blocked the direction from which the Skeleton Shield would fall, a burst of air exploded in the air, directly changing the direction of the shield's descent.

With a loud bang, the Skeleton Warrior's Shield Bash missed its target and slammed into the ground. Li Wei seized the opportunity and swung his sword three times in quick succession, each blow landing squarely and taking away more than 200 of the Skeleton Warrior's health.

At this moment, another Skeleton Warrior fighting alongside the other reincarnators still had more than half its health remaining, a testament to Li Wei's frenzied attacks.

Those reincarnators who caught a glimpse of this battle were all utterly shocked. The attacks were so fluid; it was practically an art form, the art of combat.

Because he understood the importance of self-cultivation, Li Wei also developed his own understanding of combat. He would never be confined to a particular framework, but would instead apply what he learned and leverage the advantages of each skill.

After the three strikes, Li Wei did not stop attacking. Instead, he continued to bombard the Skeleton Warrior with the 'Cloud-Piercing Palm'. In just one second, he unleashed more than a dozen palm strikes, and a series of attacks reduced the Skeleton Warrior's health to less than 10 points.

With his final strike, Li Wei swung his Meteor Hammer in a large circular motion with one hand, smashing it directly onto the Skeleton Warrior's skull. With a crack, the Skeleton Warrior crumbled into pieces of bone and died.

The entire battle lasted less than 5 seconds, and those who witnessed it had only two words in their minds.

Impressive!

This is what real combat is like! At the same time, a question arose in their minds: Is this new captain's number really only 1987?

A minute later, another Skeleton Warrior fell in front of the Reincarnator, and the two Skeleton Warriors each dropped a Flying Axe and a white wooden Treasure Chest.

As the team leader, Li Wei naturally collected these items. The Flying Axe was good, +1 level, so he threw it to a reincarnator in the team who liked to use axes. As for the white Treasure Chest, Li Wei opened it directly.

A tiny, bony skull fell out, with a long bony horn on it.

"This... this is Beast Horn?"
