Chapter 450: Want to Snatch My Corpses and Turn Them Into My Experience
Flames illuminated the ground as a massive fireball appeared in the sky, and the screams were deafening.
The Skeleton Berserkers seemed to ignore it, continuing their battle with the snake monster.
Under the Strong Soldier state, plus the Aging Curse applied by Jiang Chen, these ordinary monsters of over level 70 appeared extremely fragile.
Although they were not BOSSes, their vitality was far below that of a BOSS, and their attributes were worlds apart, falling one after another under the Skeleton Berserkers' axes.
Jiang Chen did not pay much attention to the burning Poisonous Jiao in the sky, but leapt down.
As he descended, a rumbling rose from the ground; due to the density of the snake monsters, a massive number of Corpse Explosions erupted at once, causing countless casualties.
Then, a huge number of corpses were thrown into the air, hurling straight toward the Poisonous Jiao.
Jiang Chen detonated those corpses mid‑air.
The successive explosions completely devoured the Poisonous Jiao.
Jiang Chen knew clearly how powerful a level‑85 World‑Class BOSS could be.
Even though the Skeleton Berserkers used a Focused Fire Skill to heavily wound it, and then it was hit by a self‑destruct blast after swallowing a Flame Lich, there were still relentless attacks from Skeleton Great Mages and Divine Archers.
Under all this pressure, Jiang Chen still felt it was not yet enough to kill it.
The Corpse Explosion would become Jiang Chen's final weapon, and his last hope of defeating it.
A Divine Power Level 7 Corpse Explosion deals damage 24 times the corpse's HP!
Add to that a 500% damage boost from the Strong Soldier skill and the increase from the Aging Curse.
The skill damage exceeded a hundred times the corpse's HP, reaching an unprecedented level.
In each explosion, the flames were scattered.
Jiang Chen saw
the utterly wretched Poisonous Jiao.
It was charred all over, with not a single piece of good flesh from inside to out.
The Lich's self‑destruct occurred inside it, causing massive damage.
The poisonous mist on its body had been completely blown apart, losing its defensive layer.
It let out a howl and turned to flee.
This time Jiang Chen had no intention of letting it go; at the moment it activated, Soul Burn fell upon it.
The Poisonous Jiao finally tasted what true pain is.
The pain from the soul was ten times the previous Soul Burn.
It screamed as it fell from the sky, crashing directly onto the ground.
The Skeleton Berserkers had long been ready, each grabbing a snake monster corpse and flying over, landing on the Poisonous Jiao.
At the same time, Jiang Chen ordered the Skeleton Berserkers inside the Poisonous Jiao to act.
Just now, at least 2,000 Skeleton Berserkers had been devoured by it.
Originally those Skeleton Berserkers should have perished, dying under the Poisonous Jiao's skill.
The Poisonous Jiao's interior contained extremely potent venom, enough to kill Skeleton Berserkers.
But when the Flame Lich detonated, its skill was interrupted and the venom was incinerated.
The Flame Lich's self‑destruct ignored friend or foe; while it damaged the Poisonous Jiao, it could also kill Skeleton Berserkers.
At this moment, the Undead Lich's Undead Aura took effect.
Undead Aura: All Undead Legion members will not die upon receiving a fatal blow for the first time; the aura restores 50% of their HP. Aura cooldown: 24 hours.
In the explosion, the aura burst forth, pulling the Skeleton Berserkers back from the brink of death.
Thus at this moment, inside the Poisonous Jiao, more than 2,000 Skeleton Berserkers still survived
warriors.
And they were Skeleton Berserkers with the Strong Soldier state.
This was one of the reasons Jiang Chen felt confident he could kill the Poisonous Jiao.
As soon as these Skeleton Berserkers acted, they instantly inflicted horrific damage inside the Poisonous Jiao.
The Poisonous Jiao rolled on the ground, the excruciating pain preventing it from taking off or counterattacking.
Jiang Chen's gaze was solemn as he continuously detonated corpses.
The fierce explosions came one after another.
Jiang Chen shot in both directions, triggering a hundred snake monster corpses within just 20 seconds.
The Poisonous Jiao was blown to an unrecognizable shape.
Just before dying, it gave Jiang Chen a glance.
It never imagined that it would actually
die at the hands of such a small fellow.
"Kill Poisonous Jiao, Experience +8,500,000"
"Obtain Poison Jiao Short Sword"
"Obtain Poison Jiao Heavy Armor"
"Obtain Venomous Crystal"
"Obtain Venomous Divine Stone"
"Poison Jiao Short Sword: quasi‑Mythological Class weapon, All Attributes +80,000, Assassin‑class skill Amplify +150%. Attached skill: Lethal Venom."
"Lethal Venom: attacks carry a poison element that poisons the target, dealing damage each second equivalent to 10,000 Strength, lasting 10 seconds. Poison damage and duration can stack without limit."
"Poison Jiao Heavy Armor: quasi‑Mythological Class armor, All Attributes +50,000, all damage reduced by 20%, poison element immunity increased by 50%."
"Venomous Crystal: Mythological Class material, a crystal saturated with poison element, usable to forge Mythic‑level equipment."
"Venomous Divine Stone: permanently raises poison element immunity to 80%, with a chance to obtain"
A poison element skill.
Quasi-Mythic-grade Equipment, positioned between Mythic-level Equipment and Platinum Equipment.
It is also the weapon equipment used by most professionals above Level 70.
After completing the Third Transcendence at Level 70, the bonuses of Platinum Equipment are no longer impressive; unless one possesses a top‑tier skill, it is merely a chicken rib.
At this point, one needs to switch to Quasi-Mythic-grade Equipment.
As for genuine Mythic-level Equipment, it is far too difficult to obtain.
Only by slaying World BOSSes above Level 90 does one have a chance to obtain it.
Even among the Human Race, there are few who possess it.
This Quasi-Mythic-grade Poisonous Jiao short sword originates from a Level 85 World-Class Boss, and its attributes are already quite powerful.
Coupled with the deadly poisonous toxin skill, it is even more perfect.
It deals 10 strength damage per second for 10 seconds, which at first glance does not seem very strong.
However, it can stack infinitely, with no upper limit.
That is the truly perverse aspect.
At an Assassin's attack speed, delivering dozens of blows per second is effortless, allowing massive damage to be dealt instantly.
In comparison, the Poisonous Jiao heavy armor is far inferior.
It lacks attached skills and is even outclassed by some Platinum Equipment.
Attached skills are very important, indeed crucial, for equipment of this tier.
Poisonous Gemstone is a Mythic-level material, one grade higher than Poisonous Crystal.
Alchemists and blacksmiths can use it to forge Mythic-level Equipment, but they must be at least Level 80 alchemists or blacksmiths.
Moreover, success is not guaranteed; failure is highly likely.
Among the Human Race, there are few alchemists and blacksmiths who have reached this level, which is one reason Mythic-level Equipment is scarce.
For Jiang Chen, however, the Poisonous Gemstone is used to summon an elemental lich.
He just can't use it yet.
He needs to be at least past Level 70.
First, the quota is full; second, even if summoned, it is highly likely to self‑detonate.
In the end, the reward is a Poisonous Divine Stone.
Compared with the Poisonous Gem, it grants an 80% immunity to poison elements and also has a chance to awaken a poison‑type skill.
Even without successfully awakening a skill, the mere 80% poison‑element immunity is already enticing.
But now is not the time to use it; the battle has not yet fully ended.
After the Poisonous Jiao died, more than 2,000 Skeleton Berserkers from its corpse burst out, tearing it open.
A Flame Lich also rushed out together.
Unlike the collectively poisoned Skeleton Berserkers, the Flame Lich is not poisoned.
All toxins are incinerated before they can reach it.
After the Poisonous Jiao's death, those snake monsters did not flee; instead, they became even more excited.
They seemed to have broken through their fear of poisonous smoke, ignoring the Skeleton Berserkers and lunging madly.
Jiang Chen initially thought they were avenging their own leader.
Later, upon closer look, he realized they were not; the snake monsters' eyes gleamed with excitement.
It was a light more excited than that seen upon encountering a Poisonous Crystal.
Jiang Chen instantly understood that they wanted to eat the Poisonous Jiao.
Although the Poisonous Jiao is dead, its body still harbors tremendous energy.
Consuming it can cause the snake monsters to evolve.
They may even become a second Poisonous Jiao.
Monsters above Level 70 have acquired faint intelligence and instinct.
They know what actions are best for themselves.
Jiang Chen also realized one thing: these snake monsters are not afraid of poisonous smoke.
They can evolve by eating Poisonous Crystals, so how could they fear poison
smoke.
It is likely that the Poisonous Jiao issued a command forbidding them from approaching the poison pool.
Now that the Poisonous Jiao is dead, the command naturally becomes void.
"The corpse is mine; it doesn't belong to you."
In Jiang Chen's eyes, the Poisonous Jiao's corpse belongs to him, not to those snake monsters.
The Skeletons switched targets and began a massive slaughter of the snake monsters.
Now the ground is littered with the corpses that exploded earlier.
No need for the Skeletons to act; Jiang Chen flicks his fingers, and wave after wave of explosions sweep in.
"Kill Level 72 Five‑step Poison Snake, Experience +4,320,000"
"Kill Level 75 Cyan‑green Poison Python, Experience +4,500,000"
"Kill Level 78 Blue‑eyed Green Snake, Experience +4,680,000"
For a moment, experience surged upward as if riding a rocket.
There are countless snake monsters here.
They are frantic, and Jiang Chen's experience is even more frantic.
