Chapter 552: White Cut! An exclusive item for fatal strikes!

On the sea surface thousands of meters away from the Lost Continent,

the resting Green Mushroom Sea Turtle suddenly opened its eyes.

"The threat has disappeared?"

A pair of eyes, larger than a building, gazed remotely at the island in the distance.

An unrealistic thought appeared in its mind:

Li Yao

killed that thing?

Its pupils dilated sharply.

The turtle's head stretched straight out of the sea, staring stiffly ahead.

No way!

He really killed it?

What kind of monster did I actually plant?

The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle fell into silence.

Then,

it moved its four limbs, slowly swimming toward the island.

"Li Yao is my friend."

"I can't just let him go back by himself, right?"

"The Medusa airspace is so dangerous; what a waste of time to take a detour!"

[Leveled-up kill of Hunter, codename: Dandelion, EXP +130%]

A flash of golden light flickered.

Li Yao hadn't expected

the experience to be so exaggerated!

It even exceeded the experience for a full level.

Overlord-level creatures couldn't even compare to one-tenth of this thing!

"Probably because of the level."

"If I could scout it, this dandelion's level would probably be terrifyingly high!"

"It's just that because its attack and stamina were infinite, people overlooked its level."

"Hunter."

Li Yao couldn't help but feel suspicious.

A creature independent of monsters?

If an unspeakable thing is a Hunter, then what about a Rule-based thing?

Li Yao didn't think too much about it.

He checked his storage ring for new items while walking toward the spot where the heart's blood had dissolved.

No Cloudtop series equipment had dropped,

but there were plenty of gold coins—

four thousand of them!

After this Abyss trip ended, he should be able to upgrade another chess piece to Overlord level!

The swamp water flowed slowly with the breeze.

At some point,

that eerie wind-forbidden zone had also disappeared.

However, there was still no sound.

The creatures of the Lost Continent must have all been killed by that guy.

The blood from the melted heart was washed away by the current,

as if nothing had happened before.

Only a scarlet treasure chest lay quietly in the water.

It was vastly different from the chests he had obtained before;

a giant eyeball grew on the lid, staring straight at Li Yao.

Scarlet patterns covered the entire chest like a spiderweb.

Li Yao opened the chest.

"Empty?"

Li Yao looked closely.

A pale white strand of hair lay quietly inside.

[White Cut (Item)]

[Quality: SSR]

[Effect 1: Restriction, can be activated by slaying a Hunter (codename: Dandelion)]

[Effect 2: Passive, Agility attribute increased by 30%]

[Effect 3: Passive, all damage dealt has its 'Cut' attribute increased by 100%]

[Effect 4: Passive, 'Fatal Strike' trigger range increased by 100%]

[Description: A hunter wandering in the Abyss; perhaps your nemesis is coming.]

He had guessed correctly.

Special creatures like the dandelion

rarely dropped equipment.

Powerful equipment might increase attributes significantly for a short time,

but as long as it was equipment,

there would eventually come a day when it needed to be replaced.

Items were different.

As long as you kept them on you, they could be triggered at any time and would never be replaced for a lifetime.

Li Yao looked at the attribute description.

The first attribute was essentially a different form of binding.

It also meant that in this vast, boundless Abyss,

it was highly likely there was another dandelion.

The Second Attribute

was an incredibly practical permanent increase to Agility.

But compared to the last two attributes, it felt like a freebie.

Doubling the Cut attribute

meant his sword would become sharper and cut deeper!

If he had obtained this item before fighting the dandelion,

the first time he slashed that heart, it would have been enough to decide the outcome!

And the increased Fatal Strike trigger range

felt more like a special effect to complement the cutting ability.

If the parts that could trigger a Fatal Strike were marked with red dots,

with this effect,

those red dots would all double in size!

How effective it would be, he would only know when he encountered a strong enemy.

Li Yao tried putting it into his storage ring,

but like [Yazakana],

it wouldn't take effect.

He had to take it out.

Checking the length, Li Yao chose to tie it around his wrist.

The strand of hair seemed to have a life of its own;

he didn't even need to tie it—the moment it touched his wrist, it automatically merged into his skin.

Unless one looked closely,

it was hard to notice the white thread tattoo on his wrist.

"That's quite convenient."

Li Yao nodded in satisfaction,

then boarded Gainer-At and flew toward the Tree of Life.

The domain was dispelled.

A sense of powerlessness surged like a tide.

Li Yao staggered and sat down on Gainer-At's back.

The fight with the dandelion hadn't actually lasted long,

but his mana was almost completely exhausted.

The mask and the domain, both major consumers, had been running the entire time.

Li Yao looked at the scarlet mask on his shoulder,

took it off, and put it into his storage ring.

He hadn't had time to think about it during the battle,

but now that he thought about it,

(This chapter is not finished, please click the next page to continue reading!)

this mask could be called his greatest contributor!

The all-attribute boost allowed his speed to surpass the threads,

and the most critical part was the dynamic vision!

With nearly transparent threads moving at such astonishing speeds,

how difficult was it to track their trajectories?

A hint of gravity flashed in Li Yao's eyes.

It could be said

that today's battle was the most difficult one he had faced so far.

Even in the early stages of his class change,

when he faced powerful monsters, although it was difficult, he had been certain of victory.

But facing this dandelion,

before Xiao Na discovered its weakness,

he had considered retreating more than once.
