Chapter 112: Shui Hua's Elite Tier Initial Battle!

"Triple luck?"

After hearing Yue Li's words, Qin Chuan's heart jumped.

Speaking of which, since he and Yue Li obtained their respective talents, Yue Li seems to have never used her golden talent on herself, to the point that Qin Chuan once forgot that the Life-Prayer talent's second effect could be used this way.

The luck Yue Li gave him already produced a terrifying effect.

Based on this level of luck, what effect would triple luck have?

Qin Chuan couldn't quite imagine it, but he knew one thing: under triple luck, rare resources would definitely refresh within ten kilometers!

This way, the second plan for finding rare resources that he previously thought unusable now has a chance to be used.

"If from now on you add luck to yourself every day, and I use the Gnomon's second talent effect to scout for resources, then each day there's a one-third chance of obtaining rare resources."

"Speaking of..." Qin Chuan showed a thoughtful expression, "Can this one-third probability be influenced by luck, making it higher?"

"Of course not." Yue Li blinked, "Moving rare resources to a position near me is already the result of luck taking effect; on top of that, if another thing also triggers luck, it would truly be a bug."

"But this is already fast enough." Yue Li's eyes showed anticipation, "If things go smoothly, I could obtain two rare resources in six days, possibly even faster than your next use of the Gnomon's third talent effect."

Qin Chuan: "..."

As the owner of the Gnomon talent, he himself would need two weeks to find two rare resources, but Yue Li could get two in just one week.

Thinking about it, the Life-Prayer talent is truly enviable.

Of course he also knows that, when it comes to finding rare resources, neither of their talents can do without the other.

Without Life-Prayer, after the Gnomon's third talent locks onto a rare resource, one can only wait miserably for the rare resource's luck to explode, refreshing closer to oneself.

Without the Gnomon, even if a Life-Prayer talent user refreshes rare resources within one kilometer, they likely won't find them within half an hour.

"If that's the case, let's start from tomorrow." Qin Chuan thought, "Over the next few days, you keep adding luck to yourself, and we'll help you find those two rare resources you need as soon as possible."

"Okay." Yue Li nodded, then suddenly thought of something, "Ah! Did you use your second talent during the luck period just now?"

"Don't worry, I didn't forget." Qin Chuan smiled, "We can keep treasure hunting for the next few hours."

He opened the scouting map he hadn't had a chance to glance at earlier; after some filtering, his expression suddenly turned surprised: "I remember… the Wind-Ceasing Jade is a medium-grade resource needed for Xiao Qing's advancement, right?"

"Right. Apart from rare resources, Xiao Qing only needs this one." Yue Li nodded, showing a surprised delight, "Have you found it?"

"Hmm." Qin Chuan glanced at Shui Hua, who stood guard like a sentinel beside him, then suddenly smiled, "The Wind-Ceasing Jade is guarded by an Elite Tier Spirit Beast."

"Perfect, we can test Shui Hua's strength after its breakthrough."

"Woof!"

Shui Hua raised its head high, its water crest surging, already anticipating the upcoming battle.

The location of the Wind-Ceasing Jade is relatively far from the two of them.

After some deliberation, Qin Chuan and Yue Li decided to first seek other resources, then finally challenge the Elite Tier Spirit Beast guarding the Wind-Ceasing Jade.

Three hours later, they arrived before a cliff.

At a height of several hundred meters above the cliff, there is a huge cave; a serpentine spirit beast as thick as a meter and over twenty meters long clings to the rock outside the cave like a guardian.

【Spirit Beast Species: Giant Rock Python】

【Spirit Beast Attribute: Earth】

【Spirit Beast Rank: Elite Tier Lv22】

【Spirit Beast Status: Uncontracted】

【Spirit Beast Description: The earth-type spirit beast Giant Rock Python, evolved from the rock-scaled python, possesses extremely strong perception and will launch a fierce attack on any creature invading its territory.】

"What a huge snake." Yue Li exclaimed, "This Giant Rock Python is two tiers higher than Shui Hua; can Shui Hua handle it?"

Qin Chuan turned his head to look at Shui Hua.

At this moment, Shui Hua's water-blue eyes glowed with a shimmering light, its specialty water-field vision taking effect.

Before its eyes, the Giant Rock Python high in the sky instantly turned into countless intertwining water currents of varying thickness.

The opponent has blood.

This greatly boosted Shui Hua's confidence, and it eagerly nodded at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan gently patted Shui Hua's head, his face likewise showing anticipation.

"Then let's trust in Shui Hua's ability."

"Woof!"

Having received Qin Chuan's assent, Shui Hua eagerly let out a provocative howl at the airborne Giant Rock Python, while the beast's tightly shut eyes slowly opened at this moment.

In those indifferent eyes, a chilling light seemed to surge, combined with its flickering tongue, making it look especially dangerous.

Its body twisted slightly, as if adjusting its posture to optimal, opening its maw where two fangs faintly gleamed.

"Hum—"

Shui Hua's water crest atop its head also began to glow.

The two spirit beasts instantly activated their respective Starlight equipment.

【Earthwalk (Starlight 3): Speed increased 42%, racial value increased 7%】

【Vast Traverse (Starlight 9): Attribute mastery increased 84%】

With the great increase in attribute mastery, a light blue halo instantly spread beneath Shui Hua's feet; stepping on water that appeared out of thin air, Shui Hua's body turned into a pale blue blur, lunging toward the sky at a speed too fast for the naked eye to discern.

The Giant Rock Python's pupils contracted slightly, as if not expecting a dog could fly, but its reaction was swift; its vertical pupils instantly shrank to pinpoint size, like a black abyss about to devour Shui Hua.

"Whoosh—"

Accompanied by a sharp tearing sound, the Giant Rock Python's upper body, coiled and ready, lunged like an arrow from a bow toward the airborne Shui Hua, its grim mouth rapidly enlarging before Shui Hua's eyes, as if to swallow it whole.

Shui Hua's pupils contracted sharply, and in a flash it let out a bark.

"Woof!!!"

Blood Control activated!

Originally only able to crudely affect an opponent for a moment, the Blood Control ability, with the increase in attribute mastery, became more targeted; at this moment the Giant Rock Python felt its heart suddenly gripped tightly by a hand, as if hit by a pause button, and its body stiffened abruptly.

In the next second, dozens of torrents burst forth instantly, striking the Giant Rock Python's mouth which had not yet closed; compared to its hard body, this is obviously its weak point in defense.

Hiss—

The Giant Rock Python let out a painful hiss, and as blood spurted from its mouth, its body instinctively coiled, curling up.

In the next instant, a full hundred tons of water crashed down from the void, sweeping up the Giant Rock Python's massive body and instantly generating a terrifying constricting force.

Vast Rolling Heavenly Waterfall, a serious strike!

When the water subsided, the Giant Rock Python's massive body crashed down from the cliff, its whole body covered in fractures, and it had lost all signs of life.
