Chapter 102: Knight vs Swordsman
In a life-threatening situation, Pashou blurted out the backstory of the event.
This guy came from Huawucheng.
It was said that this period was the egg-laying season for the Mother of Fiery Blaze.
The so-called Mother of Fiery Blaze is the mother of those lava spiders, similar to the Spider Queen.
It can lay thousands of egg-sized eggs at once, and every time it lays eggs, it also produces a special egg.
No spiders will hatch from this egg, but it contains rich flame essence and life energy.
People who discovered this thing called it ‘Fiery Blaze Stone,’ which can be used medicinally, for brewing, alchemy, and even as a core for energy cannons.
It could fetch a price of about 10,000 gold coins per piece in the market, of course, in the NPC market, where prices are high and items scarce.
In Huawucheng, some people were buying Fiery Blaze Stones at high prices and even bartering for them.
Thus, Pashou’s thieves’ guild naturally set its sights on the Mother of Fiery Blaze, and coincidentally, it was currently its egg-laying season. Without delay, after preparing their items, they arrived at the Black Crystal Lava Lake.
It was about half a day’s journey from Holyflower Village, if one was in the state of Gray Wolf Speed.
They were lucky; the Mother of Fiery Blaze was in its weakest moment, watching helplessly as they took away the Fiery Blaze Stones, as well as a number of lava spider eggs, which might be desirable to those alchemists.
In the wrath of the Mother of Fiery Blaze, almost all the lava spiders swarmed out.
Originally, they had more than 50 people, but after the long journey, nearly all the time-delay items had been used up.
Dozens of thieves died, without exception, either brutally bitten or burned to death, and gradually most of them were exhausted, hurriedly fleeing to this desolate place, where they were blocked by wandering zombies.
It turned into a three-way melee.
“I’ve said everything… Miss, can you let me go?” Pashou said humbly.
“How do I know you’re not trying to fool me?”
“Unjust! How would I dare to deceive you, cough cough, how about you put the sword away first?” He said fearfully, pointing at the shallow bloodstain on his neck.
“Who took the Fiery Blaze Stone?” Starry ignored him and continued to ask.
“Gofuz took it! That traitor, he disappeared after getting the Fiery Blaze Stone, and he must have gone back to Huawucheng to collect the reward!” Pashou said resentfully, showing that this hatred came from the heart.
“Forget it, I don’t have time to deal with this, you can leave now.” Starry put away the Qiu Yue Sword.
“Thank you for sparing my life, Miss!! Thank you!” Pashou gratefully said, quickly turning to flee.
As expected of a thief, he ran almost as fast as using Thousand Flash Step.
Suddenly, Pashou turned back, “Miss, here are two lava spider eggs, a gift for you, please don’t let this get out!” He reached into his clothing and pulled out two milky white eggs, tossing them over.
Surprised! This guy was still hiding things in his clothes.
Starry lightly leaped and caught the two eggs. By the time she came back to her senses, Pashou had already vanished without a trace.
Was he sneaking around…
Pet Egg (Lava Spider): Upon use, it will automatically undergo incubation in the backpack, hatching after 3 hours with a survival rate of 33%.
Unlike pet eggs, pet eggs have an incubation waiting time and a survival rate restriction.
Should I use it? Starry already had Star Cat, and her main body had a little beetle…
Wait, where is the little beetle!?
Zane looked around, but couldn’t see its shadow; I hope it didn’t choke to death?
He quickly opened the panel for the Sacred Demon Beetle.
Sacred Demon Beetle:
Rarity: White
Level: 5
Health: 150
Physical Attack Power: 1-1
Magical Attack Power: 0
Physical Defense: 2
Magical Defense: 1
Skills: None
Strength: ★
Agility: ☆
Intelligence: ☆
Spirit: ☆
Stamina: ★☆
It leveled up? Even its rarity changed from none to white, and the star growth of stamina and strength increased by half a star, what’s going on?
At this moment, a spider rushed over in a strange posture, no, if I had to say it, it looked as if it was dragged over.
Its legs were scraping against the ground; wasn’t it already dead?
Who’s moving it?
Starry raised her sword, almost ready to strike down!
Suddenly, the spider’s insides were completely hollowed out, revealing its sharp antennae!
It feels a bit familiar, this antenna.
…
What the hell, isn’t this the little beetle’s horn?
The body of the lava spider was thoroughly consumed, and a hand-sized beetle crawled out from within.
Zane twitched his mouth, are you a Kun?
…
After accepting the duel invitation, Endless Sea and One Dream Floating Life entered the duel map.
Just like the duel between Starry and another swordsman back then, the deathmatch copied the original map and positions unchanged.
Surrounded by boulders and small stones, movement was significantly restricted!
The two stared silently at each other, not saying much, as too many words would only affect their state at this moment.
3!
2!
1!
Start!
One Dream Floating Life took steady steps, slowly approaching.
Endless Sea stood still, waiting for the enemy’s attack; although he learned Charge through the reward from the Tower of Forgetting, this move couldn’t be used carelessly. At this distance, while Charge was fast, that guy could definitely predict and dodge it!
“What’s the matter, too scared to move?”
Endless Sea ignored him.
“Tsk!” One Dream Floating Life clicked his tongue, no longer walking slowly; his battle boots rushed in!
Endless Sea also pulled out the Shattering Hammer and Heart of Protection.
To be honest, the Shattering Hammer was just a low-level Black Iron Equipment, which had long fallen behind the demand of the first tier; it was just that the equipment drop rate was very low, so he hadn’t changed it.
Only 5 yards of distance!
“Charge!” One Dream Floating Life shouted loudly.
What!? He also has Charge? At this distance, dodging would definitely be too late; Endless Sea instinctively activated his Guardian Shield.
Taking this hit would help minimize the damage from the first combo.
Unexpectedly, One Dream Floating Life was still 5 yards away, looking at him with a smirk.
“Damn!” Did not expect this guy to be so sly, just shouting to fool him!
Now the Guardian Shield was used up; once the time passed, he would definitely launch an attack, he couldn’t remain so passive!
He had to change his health while reducing damage!
Endless Sea’s thoughts raced, activating Charge!
Swish!
A shadow shot out.
“Scared?” One Dream Floating Life obviously hadn’t anticipated the enemy would actually Charge! No choice; the drop rate of skill books was lower than that of equipment, and obtaining a swordsman’s divine skill was even more difficult.
-176
The damage was acceptable, and One Dream Floating Life was already in a state of dizziness!
He smashed a hammer toward his forehead,
-248
One Dream Floating Life was knocked dizzy; this is the power of a heavy cold weapon!
Keep going!
-251
-237
With the flashy and chaotic hammering style, One Dream Floating Life’s health had dropped by nearly a third!
Seeing he was about to wake from the dizziness, taunt him!
In an instant, the enemy could only dully hit him with normal attacks, and this simple attack pattern was the easiest to dodge; he just had to watch where he raised his hand to know where it would land.
While dodging, Endless Sea dealt two more hammer blows.
I have to say, the Shattering Hammer feels really good for smashing people!
