Chapter 231
But they are both the kind of people who don't like to hold grudges against acquaintances.
Since this equipment is suitable for her unit type, then give it to her.
If it suits him, Shen Xing will definitely keep it, just like the previous scythe.
On the other side, after receiving the scale armor from the lord, Xiao Guang whispered a thank you and put it on.
"Buzz..."
A flash of white light, and the scale armor automatically adhered to its slender, light-elemental body.
Its silvery-white scales gleamed with a soft white light, which, combined with the long spear of light in its hand, made it appear even more imposing.
Next, they continued towards other areas of the Dragon Tomb's remains.
As usual, Shen Xing will first destroy the tombstone to awaken the ferocious beast's soul within.
Then, based on the monster's skills and attack methods, decide on the allocation of troops and tactics.
The third boss they encountered was the "Earth-Splitting Savage Bull," which possessed immense strength and could be pulled back even by the chains of Xiao Hei and Xiao Guang.
In the end, it was only when Xiao Hei unleashed its full power, activating the Death Domain, and combined with the double effect of Black Arrow's Frost Yin Qi, that its speed was reduced.
Then Leina used Meteor Spell to take him away.
The fourth boss is a 'Heavenly Cloud Flamingo' engulfed in dark red flames.
This guy is the most sinister; not only is his flight speed ridiculously fast, but he also possesses a wide-area burning fire ability.
They can create fire zones with diameters of several hundred meters or even one or two kilometers without warning.
We can't fight them, we simply can't fight them.
If it weren't for Shen Xing's Epic Rank treasure, [Holy Chalice of Rain], which unleashed a wide-ranging downpour that extinguished its fire domain, he probably would have lost half of his forces here.
Even so, this 'Heavenly Cloud Flamingo' caused the most casualties among all unit types.
The two battles combined resulted in the deaths of nearly 500 soldiers.
Fortunately, most of the fallen troops were newly recruited orc cannon fodder, which was still within an acceptable range.
At this moment, Shen Xing looked at the huge tombstone in the center of the Dragon Tomb, where four crisscrossing cracks had appeared.
The seal has been completely loosened; only the final layer remains to be broken.
"Keep moving forward, we have one last enemy."
Shen Xing's deep voice boosted the soldiers' morale, and they marched straight toward their final goal, which was due south.
On the way, he checked the loot dropped by the two bosses as usual.
As before, a total of two Leader Rank Soul and two pieces of advancement materials dropped.
There are also two pieces of gold equipment— the Bull Horn Helm and the Crimson Plume Robe.
"Soul fragments and advancement materials are still not suitable for our troops; we'll just sell them to the exchange later."
"As for these two pieces of equipment, let's take a look at their stats first."
He made a quick decision and then examined both pieces of equipment together.
[Bull Horn Helm]
[Quality: Gold]
[Head protection: 156~198]
[Equipment Level: 15]
[Equipment Attributes: Strength +80, Constitution +60, Headshot Damage Taken -30%]
[Equipment Effect ①: Savage Bull's Will (Immune to stun effects, and automatically gain the 'Unyielding' state each time you are hit by a stun-type attack, increasing attack power by 25% for 10 seconds)]
[Equipment Effect ②: Horn Spear Counterattack (When the head is critically hit, automatically fire two spear beams forward, dealing piercing damage to enemies in their path.)]
(Note: I, Lao Niu, am really angry!)
[Crimson Plume Robe]
[Quality: Gold]
[Magic Resistance: 132~178]
[Equipment Attributes: Spirit +120, Constitution +80, Fire Resistance +25%]
[Equipment Effect ①: Energy Conversion (Upon being attacked by magic, there is a 50% chance to convert 100% of your Strength into Constitution)]
[Equipment Effect ②: Wings of the Crimson Plume (Can condense a pair of fiery wings on the back, gaining brief flight ability, during which flight speed is increased by 50%, and fire embers are scattered in the path of the flight.)
If used by a being skilled in fire elemental power, the duration of the fiery wings can be greatly extended.
(Note: Don't chase me, you'll get burned...)
"Oh? These two pieces of equipment are interesting."
Shen Xing's eyes lit up.
The first item, the [Bull Horn Helm], has an unremarkable name, but it actually provides complete immunity to dizziness.
With this, all stun-type skills are essentially ineffective against you.
It can be surprisingly effective against certain special enemies.
The second item, the [Crimson Plume Robe], is equally impressive, significantly enhancing survivability and granting the ability to fly.
After a moment's thought, Shen Xing decided to use the [Bull Horn Helm] on Da Hou.
This guy is like a bull when he gets into a fight, charging around recklessly.
This helmet will greatly increase his survivability.
As for that robe, it undoubtedly belongs to Leina.
Of course, Lord Shen didn't give this red-haired mage special treatment just because they had a relationship.
This is a fair allocation based on their combat abilities.
That's right, that's exactly it.
A moment later, the two held their new equipment and admired it carefully.
"Wow! This helmet looks really cool, I love it!" Da Hou shouted excitedly, "Thanks, boss!"
He couldn't wait to put the Bull Horn Helm on his head, covering his orcish face.
At this moment, the Da Hou figure wielded two axes, sported bull horns on his head, and possessed arms as thick as tree roots, exuding a primitive and savage aura!
The beastmen around him widened their eyes and showed longing on their faces when they saw his attire.
For orcs who revere strength and muscles, the Da Hou is simply the ultimate temptation, its allure no less than that of a catgirl with a baby face, white hair, red eyes, 36D bust, black stockings, and a 155cm tall.
"Da Hou, that helmet looks so cool!" Gorehowl next to him was drooling and pleaded, "Let me try it on too, I think it suits me better."
"No way!" Da Hou, resolutely refusing. "This was a gift from the boss; no one can take it away from me!"
"Alright..." Gorehowl gave up regretfully, but still looked at his Bull Horn Helm with longing.
Da Hou with an arrogant gait, he walked at the very front, basking in the envious glances of the other orcs.
Leina, standing to the side, gently stroked her robes, feeling the patterns and fire power on them.
Then, she gently raised her hand, and a flame ignited from her robe, growing stronger and stronger until it enveloped her entire body.
"Call..."
As the flames gradually died down, the robe was automatically put on her body.
Leina, dressed in a brand-new outfit, shone brightly before everyone's eyes like a blooming flame.
The robe fit her perfectly, highlighting her graceful figure.
Its dark red hue makes it appear as if it were pieced together from countless light feathers, and sparks seem to scatter as it moves—it's absolutely gorgeous.
With her full head of red hair and her exquisitely beautiful features, she resembled a fire goddess descended to earth.
Shen Xing was slightly lost in thought, and couldn't help but recall the scene from last night, feeling as if she were in a dream.
Did I really have a relationship with such a perfect goddess?
Leina noticed the lord's gaze, and as if realizing something, a seductive smile gradually appeared on her lips as she stared intently at him.
Those ruby-like eyes clearly held a flame even more intense than Shen Xing's.
If there weren't people here, they probably would have pounced on us at any moment.
"We're almost there," Xia Wanyin said softly, interrupting his thoughts. "This last monster looks really scary."
Shen Xing also came to his senses and looked ahead.
On the ground at the edge of the Dragon Tomb, a huge pile of wreckage formed a small mountain, larger than any of the previous ones.
But what was piled up here was not the skeletons of the past, but a large heap of scattered boulders.
Although the surface of the boulder is covered with mottled marks due to the erosion of time, a faint glimmer of dark gold can still be seen through it.
The closer you get, the more you can feel an astonishing sense of oppression.
It was as if I had stepped into an invisible realm of gravity, and even my shoulders felt heavier.
Shen Xing sensed danger in this pile of wreckage, which is why he left it for last.
When they reached the edge of the boulder pile, the terrifying gravity almost solidified, pressing down so hard that the low-level orcs could barely breathe and couldn't even lift their weapons.
"Prepare."
Shen Xing's deep voice echoed around them, and all the soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, ready for battle.
The next second, he flipped his right hand, Hand of the Void crashed down, completely destroying the tombstone next to him.
"Boom... Boom!!!"
The familiar earthquake struck again, accompanied by the earth rising and bulging around it.
A massive number of Dragon Tomb Guardian surged out of the ground, more than ever before.
They surrounded us from all directions, and the footsteps of thousands of people shook the ground.
The troops remained still, awaiting their lord's orders.
Shen Xing didn't move; he was waiting for the final boss to appear.
"Splash... splash..."
Huge stones floated up from the center of the ruins, spinning and merging rapidly in mid-air.
Accompanied by a teeth-grinding crashing sound, a stone giant, fifteen meters tall with limbs as thick as stone pillars, gradually came into being.
At first glance, the stone giant looked rather ancient.
As two golden beams of light shone from those stone eyes, the stone giant's outer layer of stone began to peel away, and a dazzling golden light burst forth!
