Chapter 438: Although They're All Called Wasteland Beasts, They're Not the Same

All the way, Jiang Chen kept pondering this question.

In the end, he concluded that the Skill level was insufficient.

The materials used were of too high a grade, not merely as simple as Mythological Class materials.

That solidified Fire God Essence Blood possessed divine power.

His Skill level could not control it.

A Level 50 Skill might only use Platinum Tier materials.

Only Above Level 70 can use Mythological Class materials.

However, Jiang Chen thought of another method.

He could use the solidified Fire God Essence Blood to summon a Flame Lich, then have it perform a self‑detonation attack on the enemy.

An attack imbued with divine power, its might was enormous.

This could, to some extent, compensate for his lack of burst power.

What are you thinking?

Qiao Zhixin saw Jiang Chen remain silent for a long time; although his expression did not change, she still detected some information in his eyes.

Nothing.

Jiang Chen did not answer her question directly.

Seeing Jiang Chen like that, Qiao Zhixin also did not ask further.

She was naive and pure, and knew how to obey, not asking things she shouldn't.

Jiang Chen was not hiding anything; some matters, even if spoken, she would not understand.

The subtle sensations that come with using a Skill can only be known by the person himself.

Combining the final result with a painstaking analysis yielded the answer.

Each Skill's usage feeling is different.

The vast majority of High-level Professionals still understand Skills only at the usage stage.

Once used, they don't consider much further.

Not only High-level Professionals, but also some top‑tier, even elite professionals are the same.

Few truly can feel and comprehend the details of a Skill.

Jiang Chen now is at the stage of knowing the fact, and wants even more

to understand the reason.

Being able to use it is not enough; one must also grasp its origin.

Unconsciously, Jiang Chen is walking toward a broader path.

The two walked for another two days, covering several thousand kilometers.

The ground beneath their feet changed again, no longer transparent, no longer burning with flame.

Jiang Chen knew they had left the territory of the Ancient Luan Bird.

During these two days, they had not encountered any monster.

The Ancient Luan Bird, with its domineering nature, does not allow any monster to exist within its domain.

Only after leaving its domain did other monsters appear in their sight.

At the moment he saw the monster, Jiang Chen halted.

No Undead Legion launched an attack; he merely watched from afar.

Qiao Zhixin asked oddly, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chen said nothing, but his whole being entered a battle‑ready state.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhixin couldn't help but become nervous.

The monster ahead resembled a tiger and a deer, its body covered in thick fur and a long tail.

Qiao Zhixin asked, "Is this monster powerful?"

"Wasteland Beast!"

Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, uttering two words.

The monster ahead was identical to the Wasteland Beast he had seen in the Wasteland Void.

Why would a Wasteland Beast appear in the Ancient Battlefield?

After observing for a while, Jiang Chen finally noticed some irregularities.

Although the two were ninety percent similar in appearance, subtle differences remained.

At the time of his Job Change, he had only glimpsed it briefly.

The Wasteland Beast possessed a particular ferocity, which this monster clearly lacked.

Qiao Zhixin tilted her head, "Is the Wasteland Beast formidable?"

She had never heard of the Wasteland Beast, nor even knew the Wasteland Void existed.

Simply put, the Wasteland Beast isn't very strong, just hard to deal with.

Its non‑lethal injury trait makes them nearly invincible.

The truly formidable one is the King of the Wasteland Beasts, even beings of Hong Jishi's level must keep their distance.

"Is it just that they look alike?"

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, snapping his fingers.

"Battlefield Wasteland Beast (Boss-level Monster)"

"Level: 68"

Strength: 150,000

Agility: 150,000

Spirit: 50,000

Constitution: 150,000

Skill: Flash Strike

Trait: Ultra-fast Recovery, Vitality Enhancement

The moment he saw the attributes, Jiang Chen felt a deep calm.

First, being able to view the attributes means the opponent is not a true Wild Beast.

A true Wild Beast cannot have its attributes displayed.

Its name is "Battlefield Beast", so it must have some connection to Wild Beasts.

Jiang Chen could not immediately discern the exact relationship.

Nevertheless, as long as it isn't a true Wild Beast, even though it's a level‑68 BOSS, Jiang Chen paid it no mind.

Detection Technique startled the Battlefield Beast, and it charged toward Jiang Chen.

At the same time, Jiang Chen gave a command, and the Undead Legion surged forward.

Amid the roar, an Elemental Explosion detonated on the Battlefield Beast.

Hundreds of Skeleton Great Mages struck simultaneously, wounding it in the blink of an eye.

Its defense was clearly inferior to that of the Ancient Luan Bird.

Jiang Chen pointed a finger, and an Aging Curse descended.

The Battlefield Beast's speed instantly slowed.

A faint glow emanated from the Battlefield Beast as its skill activated.

Its form flickered a few times and vanished in an instant.

0.1 seconds later it reappeared before a Skeleton Great Mage, crashing heavily into the mage.

Immediately,

several Skeleton Great Mages were knocked flying.

Skill: Flash Strike.

Jiang Chen could feel that the strike's power was considerable.

Without a fully linked talent, the Skeleton Great Mage might have been instantly killed.

After all, it's still a level‑68 BOSS, not a mere mud‑crafted creature.

It kept using skills, appearing and disappearing like a phantom.

The Skeleton Great Mage's Elemental Explosion could not lock onto it accurately, exploding in empty air.

The Skeleton Berserker was even more helpless; it couldn't even catch up.

Only the Skeleton Soul Archer's Soul Lock could track it reliably, with every arrow finding its mark.

The Curse can slow its movements, but it cannot slow its skills.

It always relies on skills.

At this point its traits were fully revealed.

As a BOSS, combined with Vitality Enhancement, it possessed life force comparable to a Lord‑level BOSS…

Its Ultra‑fast Recovery was even more evident; it was clearly wounded moments ago, yet recovered in an eye.

What surprised Jiang Chen most was that its Flash Strike had no cooldown at all, seemingly usable without limit.

This made it even more elusive; no one could tell where it would appear the next second.

"What a strange monster," Jiang Chen said calmly, locking onto the Battlefield Beast through the Skeleton Soul Archer.

Skill: Bone Prison!

The Battlefield Beast instantly revealed its form, its body covered in fine white bones.

The bones interwove into a net, trapping it tightly.

The next second, an Elemental Explosion burst forth on it again, dazzling brightly.

Qiao Zhixin waved a flag nearby and shouted, "It can't move now, right?"

Skeleton Berserkers arrived as well, unleashing their skills in succession.

The Skeleton Berserker's skill was the most powerful, instantly dealing massive damage to the Battlefield Beast

causing huge damage.

But its regenerative ability was so strong that after being wounded, it could fully recover in no time.

A speck of green light exploded.

The toxic starburst dyed the Battlefield Beast green.

The trait of the poison skill suppressed the Battlefield Beast's Ultra‑fast Recovery.

Its skill was restricted, and its recovery trait was limited.

The Battlefield Beast was now utterly powerless.

Qiao Zhixin seized the chance, ran over, and set off a burst of fireworks.

Jiang Chen also released more skeletons to join the attack.

Just one minute later, the Battlefield Beast crashed to the ground with a roar.

"Kill Battlefield Beast, Experience +2,070,000"

"Obtained Beast Short Sword"

"Obtained Beast Bone"

Obtained a Wild Beast Short Blade through the Collecting Technique.

Obtained a Wild Beast Bone through the Collecting Technique.

Wild Beast Short Blade (Assassin‑exclusive): Platinum Grade Weapon, All Attributes +3500, Assassin‑type skill amplification 100%. Attached skill: Flash.

Flash: can teleport within a ten‑meter range, can be used consecutively 10 times, then enters cooldown; cooldown time is 5 minutes.

Wild Beast Bone: Platinum Tier material, possesses restorative properties, can be used to forge weapon equipment.

The Wild Beast Short Blade obtained through the Collecting Technique still lacks an attached skill.

However, in Jiang Chen's eyes this Wild Beast Short Blade is a truly exquisite weapon.

It has top‑tier attribute bonuses among Platinum Tier weapons, skill bonuses, and also carries a practical powerful skill.

The Flash skill can make an Assassin even more elusive, and can also be used to dodge damage, fully exploiting the Assassin's agile advantage.

Jiang Chen now understands the Assassin profession's traits quite well and knows how good this weapon is.

The Wild Beast Bone also counts as ten.

Points of powerful Platinum Tier material.

Jiang Chen held the Wild Beast Bone and said, "Can this thing be used to summon an elemental lich?"

"Give it a try!"

The thought surged and could no longer be restrained.

A mass of gray‑white light glowed in his hand, growing stronger...

Jiang Chen showed a pleased expression, "It really works!"
