Chapter 100

"Ding, fusion started!"

"Ding, please select the additional characteristic to retain from [Thorns]!"

"The first one!"

Accompanied by a shimmering, misty light, the two treasures began to fuse under the effect of the [Treasure Fusion Crystal (Refined)].

A few seconds later.

"Ding, fusion successful. Triggered 'Refined' effect. Your [Steel Armor] quality has increased to A-grade, and its effect has been greatly enhanced!"

Luo Chenyu was excited.

His luck seemed very good today; not only did the quality increase, but it went up by two levels.

He couldn't wait to check the attributes of [Steel Armor].

[Steel Armor (Fused)]

Type: Treasure (Defensive Warrior)

Quality: A-grade

Restriction: Level 10 (First Turn)

Additional Effect ①: [Steel Shield] damage absorption shield value increased by 50%, skill cooldown reduced by 20%.

Additional Effect ②: [Steel Shield] stackable count +2!

Additional Effect (Fusion): [Reflection Shield] reflected damage ratio increased by 25%, and reduces 8% of damage received by the shield as well as true damage received by himself.

Note: Each professional can have at most three treasures in effect!

……

Good heavens!!

Luo Chenyu was overjoyed; the stackable count had actually increased!!

This meant he could now have three [Steel Shield] effects permanently on him, and still have one to adapt to changing circumstances.

A cooldown of just 8 seconds—it felt great just thinking about it!

"Blow one, throw one, and keep one for life-saving!"

Luo Chenyu had already started imagining the wonderful scene in the future.

Yet he didn't know...

At this moment, countless Owl Beasts in the distance had already taken to the air and were flying toward him.

The "scavenger squad" following Luo Chenyu's footsteps were all gloating.

"The big shot definitely won't look down on the Owl Beast corpses. As long as the corpses aren't destroyed too badly, it's another good source of income!"

"Eh? You're actually only doing this for the Owl Beast corpses?"

"Uh, isn't that right?"

"I'm looking forward to the adventurer being crushed by the Owl Beast King..."

"Holy crap, I'll call you a good guy; you're too black-hearted, I love it!"

"Shh, I'm only telling you because we're brothers."

"Understood, understood; it was my vision that was too short-sighted!"

However, the next second they were completely stunned, seeing the big shot in flight suddenly make a throwing motion with his hand.

Immediately after.

It seemed a transparent circular energy was thrown from his hand.

In an instant, those attacking Owl Beasts were smashed flat, but this was only the beginning...

Boom!!

Violent energy waves surged, setting off a booming sound.

Countless Owl Beasts were turned to ashes.

Not even bones remained!

Scavenger army: "Holy crap..."

Owl Beast: "Holy crap..."

Luo Chenyu: "Holy crap!"

No one had expected such an effect.

Even Luo Chenyu was the same; after the [Steel Shield] left his hand, he discovered he could actually control the [Steel Shield] to explode.

The damage of the first smash against the monsters was very confusing.

It was much higher than a normal attack with a percentage of the shield value, but it didn't compare to the explosion damage, nor was it equal to the shield value damage.

The second explosion damage didn't change.

However, in Luo Chenyu's view, the effect was also much better than before.

The biggest advantage: the controllable attack distance had increased.

Even...

Luo Chenyu also felt that after the shield was used to smash someone, it could be retrieved.

This feeling...

How magical!

Immediately, he saw many more Owl Beasts flying over and was instantly happy.

A new [Steel Shield] appeared, like a giant hammer, killing a whole patch with one hammer.

After a period of testing.

Luo Chenyu also discovered the "mystery" of the damage.

The percentage of the [Steel Shield]'s shield value + the damage of the normal attack with "Blade Storm."

Although the "attack speed" was very slow, the maximum attack distance even exceeded 200 meters.

And this was just a "normal attack"!

………………

On the ground, the scavenger army stared blankly at the figure wearing a hat and sunglasses in mid-air.

What kind of magical operation was that?

The attack distance and range were actually so terrifying!

One had to know, high-tier Mages generally had an attack distance of about a hundred meters, and some didn't even reach that.

But...

That mysterious big shot was nearly 200 meters!

Looking at it, he was still a physical-type professional.

It was outrageous!!

Among physical-type normal professions, the one with the longest attack distance was undoubtedly the group of Hunters who had awakened the Archer talent.

But even their effective attack distance wasn't this terrifying.

"Uh... have you guys noticed that the big shot's figure looks a bit familiar?"

"Indeed, it seems I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember."

"I have that feeling too, but... I can't see the face clearly, so I can't recognize him."

"Don't think about these things; the Owl Beast King is coming, hurry and hide further away, its seventh-tier Plunder Wind Array is too terrifying!"

In their line of sight.

The Owl Beast King, with wings covering the sky and sun, flew rapidly from the depths of Yangshan, followed by a few slightly smaller Owl Beasts.

Luo Chenyu also seemed to sense the energy fluctuations in the air.

He couldn't help but turn around to look.

"Finally here!!"

The corners of Luo Chenyu's mouth turned up slightly; an old familiar monster, the Owl Beast King, had arrived!

"Speaking of which, I still have to thank you; if it weren't for you, the [Heart of Rock] wouldn't be easy to get!"

"Since that's the case, I'll give you a quick end!"

Leap!

Leap!

Leap!

……

Using five consecutive leaps, his figure was like "inches away yet worlds apart," one step covering a hundred meters, instantly arriving behind the Owl Beast King.

Looking at the Owl Beast King's massive body.

Luo Chenyu revealed a cruel expression.

And then...

Savage Charge!!

Before the Owl Beast King could react, it was stunned by Luo Chenyu, its massive body falling toward the ground involuntarily.

The next moment!

At the same time, a mysterious and profound aurora fell from the firmament!

With lightning speed, it covered the Owl Beast King and the few Owl Beasts beside it.

Aurora - 532.522 million!

Aurora - 365.503 million (Blocked)!

Aurora, Critical Hit - 1.15 billion!

……

Sheets of damage numbers popped up directly; Luo Chenyu clearly saw the blocked damage above the Owl Beast King's head.

But...

So what? The Owl Beast King was only a fifth-tier Abyss BOSS; even if it possessed bloodline power and could cast seventh-tier magic, it couldn't withstand such terrifying damage.

"Ding, you killed the level 72 Nightmare Elite monster [Sun Owl Beast Guard], gained 350,000 experience points!"

"Ding, you killed the level 72 Nightmare Elite monster [Night Owl Beast Guard], gained 350,000 experience points!"

"Ding, you killed the level 75 Abyss BOSS [Owl Beast King · Amoka], gained 5.7 million experience points!"

"Ding, ..."

Under the aurora, all Owl Beasts within a 150-meter range were killed, and even their corpses were annihilated by the terrifying aurora.

The aurora shimmered with bits of gorgeous light.

A magnificent funeral!

A gift for an old enemy!

As Luo Chenyu turned his thoughts, he collected the dropped items.

"Pity, the attack was too fierce and destroyed the corpses; otherwise, the Owl Beast King's corpse should have been worth quite a bit of money."

He shook his head helplessly.

Ignoring the Owl Beast swarm that was retreating in a swarm, he looked toward the direction the Owl Beast King had flown from... 0

And departed by treading the void.

Leaving behind the bewildered professionals.

"Killed... in seconds?"

"What kind of skill was that? It's too damn terrifying, and what's even more terrifying is... I actually want to go in and take a look!"

"Same here, that beam of light was too beautiful!"

"God, come out quickly and look at the immortals..."

"Appearing silently, disappearing silently, even the Owl Beast King disappeared silently... was that a forbidden spell?"

"God damn forbidden spell; if it were a forbidden spell, I'm afraid we'd all have to be remade if we stood this far away!"

"Holy crap... that... that big shot is... is... Luo God!!"

"What? How could it be Luo God!!"

"I have a friend who was watching the show at the entrance of the [Nine-Fold Abyss] yesterday. He was showing off to me this morning; the skill effect is at least 90% similar to what he described!"

"No way... is it really Luo God?"

"Could what's on the internet be true? Does Luo God really have the strength to rival a seventh-tier?"

"Hiss... this child, terrifying to this extent!"

………………

In the depths of Yangshan, there sat the fifth highest peak within the territory of Mount Huilong City.

And this was the lair of the Owl Beast King.

Luo Chenyu stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the scene before him, slightly stunned.

"Why are there traces of human activity here?"

As far as the eye could see.

A stone staircase built by humans was hidden in the dense forest; if he hadn't accidentally landed here, he would never have discovered it.

Luo Chenyu, full of confusion, couldn't help but step onto the stone stairs and drill into the dense forest.

He hadn't walked a few steps.

Blades of wind attacked him from the dense forest on both sides of the stone stairs.

Swish!

Swish!

Luo Chenyu didn't dodge; the magic array on the small path couldn't shake his shield of over 500 million at all, and because of the immunity effect, it couldn't even stop him from moving forward.

"There must be a secret here!"

It was said that for over a dozen years.

Very few people in Mount Huilong City could come to the depths of Yangshan and return unscathed, especially in recent years, since the Yangshan regulations issued by Yin Man, no one had come at all.

It was very likely that this was created by Yin Man.

Thinking of the items dropped when he killed Yin Man earlier, it was very unreasonable.

"Could this be Yin Man's treasure vault?"

Luo Chenyu instantly became interested.

As for money...

He had no immunity whatsoever.

Immediately, he quickened his pace and moved rapidly along the small mountain path.

Before long.

He arrived at the mountainside.

A gate cast of steel came into view.

But what surprised him was that the steel gate was actually left ajar, and a cool breeze blew out from the gap.

The wind was filled with a cold, sinister aura and a fishy stench.

"Something's not right!"

The treasure vault he imagined couldn't look like this.

"Go in and take a look; perhaps... it has something to do with the Ground Rats!"

Luo Chenyu didn't think much, walked up to the steel gate, and kicked it hard.

"Boom!!"

The terrifying power of nearly 20,000 points couldn't be blocked by a steel gate; in an instant, the steel gate was blasted away by the huge force.

"Bang!!"

Accompanied by the sound of the gate hitting the ground, the pitch-black environment suddenly became bright.

Countless lights focused, all shining in one direction, which was the middle of the cave.

There...

A corpse of a strange beast lay quietly.

3.0 The beast corpse wasn't large, only about four meters, its appearance looking very much like a fierce tiger, except it had a single horn on its head, and its fangs were protruding and sharp.

The reason it was a corpse was that Luo Chenyu clearly saw parts of the beast's corpse that had already rotted, and in some places, it was deep enough to see bone.

On its forehead, it wasn't the character "King," but a large, written "Lu"!

On the surface of the beast corpse, red-black energy surged.

"This is..."

"Zombie!!"

These surging red-black energies were the same as the Cyclops zombie from last night...

It couldn't be said they were similar; they were exactly the same.

Luo Chenyu looked around, but didn't find any traces of humans; what he found were messy items.
