Chapter 127

Luo Chenyu was even more eager to learn them.

【Block Counter】 was beaten up badly by 【Steel Shield】, then got abandoned and tossed to 【Resolute and Unyielding】 to merge.

This also caused 【Resolute and Unyielding】's stacking attributes to gain a block effect, capped at 25%, and each time a passive block succeeded, it would counterattack the target, dealing 120% physical damage and generating a certain amount of threat.

Most importantly, the shield could also trigger passive block…

This evolution truly shocked him.

Very practical!

【Attack Stance】, very tactfully, automatically joined 【Defense Stance】's embrace; the two "shared the same stench" and actually transformed into a new skill 【Combat Stance】, which could freely switch between 【Defense Stance】 and 【Attack Stance】 without occupying the other's skill cooldown.

As for the Tier 5 【Destroying Strike】, it required the third advancement to learn.

Moreover…

Ever since putting on the 【Abyss Magic Ring】, with the existence of "resurrection," his brute personality was displayed to the fullest.

All kinds of brainless charges.

The advancing speed stayed consistent, but this also caused him to waste quite a bit of shield value.

So in order to stack shield value, he only steadied things up after the 180th floor, slowing his pace.

………………

"Finding someone… is indeed quite annoying. Wouldn't it be better to just keep killing monsters?"

As the countdown ended.

Luo Chenyu pursed his lips and stepped toward the pitch-black entrance of the Abyss Canyon.

A fierce wind howled, blocking his advance.

"Hmm?"

Feeling the tremor transmitted from his shield value, Luo Chenyu's face was full of surprise. "These winds, they deal damage!"

The damage wasn't high, but it did exist.

But compared to his shield value of over ninety million, it was just a drop in the bucket.

His gaze swept the surroundings.

Due to the black fog's presence, his field of vision was compressed.

"Heh, it's not like I haven't played games before. With a mission like finding someone, it'd be strange if the target wasn't at the deepest part of the Abyss!"

Luo Chenyu, brimming with confidence, walked toward the depths.

Whoosh!

Before he had taken a few steps, a fierce black arrow shot toward him at high speed.

Luo Chenyu merely tilted his body slightly and dodged the black arrow's attack.

But the black arrow seemed to have an "auto-navigation" function installed; with a turn, it continued shooting toward Luo Chenyu's back.

Caught off guard.

A boom rang out.

True Damage -2500!

"Interesting!"

Feeling the black arrow's power, Luo Chenyu wasn't flustered at all and rushed toward the direction the arrow had come from.

After tanking two arrows, a monster appeared in his line of sight.

A sprite whose skin resembled black pearls.

At this moment, the black sprite's face showed no expression whatsoever; a pair of crimson eyes stared fixedly at Luo Chenyu, aiming with a dark-green bow.

"So it's a Dark Elf…"

Luo Chenyu wasn't encountering Dark Elves for the first time; back around the 150th floor, the boss guarding the stage had been this kind of monster.

It had indeed given him quite a bit of trouble.

They were very fast, their attack power was also very strong, and their arrows came with true damage—only their HP and defense weren't that outstanding.

So it was merely trouble, nothing more.

"No more wasting time!"

Although the Dark Elf before him had skills somewhat different from those he'd seen before, he couldn't be bothered to waste brain cells on it.

Brutal Charge!

His body turned into a streak of afterimage and vanished from the spot in an instant.

Boom!

An utterly ordinary charge, yet it erupted with astonishing damage.

And a agility-type monster like a Dark Elf—how could it possibly withstand such a burst? It was sent flying directly and vanished into a wisp of black qi.

"Ding, you have killed the Level 60 Hard Elite Monster 【Shadow of the Abyss · Dark Elf Archer】, gaining 520,000 experience points!"

"Ding, you have killed an elite monster, Ninefold Abyss Points +20!"

Luo Chenyu: "???"

After the mode change, monsters would drop experience points, and even points.

This was something he hadn't expected.

No wonder the mission reward only had Ninefold Abyss Points, and no experience.

"This way, it's actually pretty good. Too bad there are no Dropped Items!"

Luo Chenyu muttered, his eyes looking toward the direction the Dark Elf had appeared, and a pitch-black cave came into view.

At this moment, more Dark Elves rushed out from within.

They no longer held only bows in their hands, but all sorts of weapons.
