Chapter 455: Special Toxin

Seeing the damage Su Sheng took.

Li Xiao is too lazy to complain...

Yesterday was Huan Yu's first main tank, the Guard Knight... Huan Yu's divine might!

A level‑45 Guard Knight, equipped with a level‑50 mixed purple‑blue set of Heavenly Craft Stone, defense close to six thousand, HP reaching 40,000.

Even a single hit drains nearly two thousand HP...

Su Sheng can endure even more than their Huan Yu first main tank, so Li Xiao truly has no strength to complain.

Press on!

The experience gain is still pretty good.

Even though it's already the second round, in the first round Huan Yu crashed out and their own experience also fell, so in this round they can still get the experience rewards from the minor monsters, but the rewards from the later first and second BOSS will probably be heavily reduced; that's how a one‑time Dungeon boss is configured.

A party of five plus a snake continues forward... that snake is a puppet!

Li Wenwan's puppet! A rock snake!

It originates from a piece of Li Wenwan's accessory... the Puppet Ring, which previously dropped as a level‑35 purple ring in the Demon Energy Fortress.

Its bonuses are Spirit and Intelligence, and it eventually ended up in Li Wenwan's hands, being used now. (Puppet Ring source, Chapter 90)

However, the success rate of that puppet technique is lamentable; it claims to puppet a slain monster, but that thing is not an active skill, it's passive...

At first Su Sheng thought it was active.

So far Li Wenwan has triggered it fewer than ten times; the rock snake that was just killed crawled back up, startling everyone, including Li Wenwan who thought it was a fake corpse. The Puppet Ring's puppet technique triggers so rarely that Li Wenwan herself has forgotten about it...

But since it triggered, they kept it; at the time it served as rear‑line guard, a pure meat shield.

Soon the party smoothly encountered the first boss of the Dungeon.

Snake!

Still a snake!

Mystic‑patterned Giant Python!

Level‑57 Elite Boss!

Su Sheng recalled the Dungeon's name, the Ruins of the Transform‑Dragon Hall.

Transform‑Dragon, fitting for so many snakes, since the pinnacle of serpents is the Transform‑Dragon, right?

The Mystic‑patterned Giant Python, Huan Yu already fought once yesterday, and Li Xiao fully understands its mechanics.

With full knowledge, the Mystic‑patterned Giant Python was taken down easily without much effort.

However, Li Wenwan's rock snake made a glorious sacrifice; Li Wenwan didn't mind since the thing is just a garnish, and besides, she was too lazy to bring a snake anyway.

Her own little sparrow is cuter.

The fire‑eating sparrow on Li Wenwan's shoulder, round and small, looks like a big crimson dumpling...

It almost matches the output of a regular Mage, causing the people of Huan Yu to glance sideways.

As for the mythic lion, it just floated along the whole time, and no one else cared.

Li Xiao and Huan Yu Houyi have no pets, but Huan Yu Nuwa brought a very beautiful double‑tailed fox, which is only pretty and has almost no combat power.

Then the BOSS drops were unbearably terrible...

Pure green.

Su Sheng is too lazy to even glance at them.

"The second boss should probably be in the same vein."

"What about the third BOSS's drops?"

Su Sheng suddenly asked.

Although Li Xiao said he'd send 5,000,000 to support himself and never mentioned the drops at the time, the pseudo‑Commander Rank BOSS drops still make Su Sheng's mouth water; you just need a thick skin...

"Ahem..." Li Xiao cleared his throat lightly: "Well... aside from my quest item, let's roll the dice."

"Fine!" Su Sheng nodded.

This is also the usual distribution method for most solo wild teams.

The dice provided by the Zhu Lu Game system are purely luck‑based.

Adding that, the third wave of wild monsters arrives.

Level‑56 four‑legged snake!

Long‑legged!

Elite Monster!

Offense and defense are balanced, but its high attributes make it relatively hard to handle.

Still, it's not a big problem; Huan Yu cleared it yesterday, let alone now, the five members of the party almost represent the current Domestic Server ceiling.

After spending quite some time, they encountered the fourth wave of wild monsters!

Highly toxic green snake! Level‑58 Elite Monster!

It can Poison Spray!

It drains HP while lowering defense and attack, which gives Su Sheng a headache.

But thanks to Huan Yu Nuwa's healing, they can barely survive, though output is greatly reduced.

These green snakes get you poisoned almost on contact.

Seeing Su Sheng finally get flattened, Li Xiao showed a satisfied smile.

"I really thought you were omnipotent," Li Xiao chuckled.

"Laughing chicken leg, as if you still have damage," Su Sheng rolled his eyes.

"Ugh..." Li Xiao was speechless; indeed, he was also poisoned.

Both melee members in the party are poisoned.

Their attack is heavily reduced.

The toxin that lowers attack makes the scalp tingle.

Moreover, this thing can also spit at range, so ranged damage units also have a chance to be poisoned.

So… Huan Yu Nuwa's Purification cannot be given to Su Sheng and Li Xiao; it must be saved for Li Wenwan and Huan Yu Houyi, the two core damage dealers.

Even though removing the toxin would let Su Sheng's damage become high enough to surpass Huan Yu Houyi, Su Sheng is melee… almost constantly poisoned, so where does Huan Yu Nuwa get so much Purification, and it doesn't even have a cooldown!

Smack~

When a green snake is smashed dead by Li Wenwan's Fireball, a purple light sphere drops onto the ground.

"Huh? A drop?" Li Xiao's eyes brightened; they hadn't gotten any drops from those green snakes yesterday.

As the party leader, Li Xiao first picked up the item.

Hidden Skill Book (Purple)

Special Poison Tempering (Green Snake toxin. Recipe)

After using it, one can craft a special toxin for the Poison Tempering skill.

(The toxin cannot be traded and can only be used personally)

Restricted class: Assassin

Green Snake toxin effect: reduces HP by 300 per second, lowers target's defense by 10%, and attack by 30%.

HP loss duration: 10 seconds

Debuff duration: 60 seconds.

What a good item.

Both Li Xiao and Su Sheng's eyes lit up.

Li Xiao thought of the Huan Yu Assassin Guild, while Su Sheng thought of the Ten Court Yanluo.

After an Assassin reaches level 40 as a specialist, they can learn the Poison Tempering skill; the Wind-chasing Rogue cannot.

However, Poison Tempering consumes poison.

Assassin poison can be crafted simply by themselves, and can also be bought at shops; most are just HP‑draining poison.

Poison with this kind of special effect…

Indeed quite rare.

"Let's roll dice!" Li Xiao said immediately.

"No!" Su Sheng objected at once.

"We can't use this thing; taking it back would definitely go to the guild members. Among the three of you from Huan Yu present, we Yanhuang only have two! We're not at a loss," Su Sheng said.

"...." Li Xiao was sullen; he naturally knew this, but deliberately didn't say it.

"Then, I represent Huan Yu, I represent Yanhuang; the two of us roll dice, and whoever wins keeps it," Su Sheng said.

"Fine..." Li Xiao nodded; what else could he do?

"Who goes first?" Li Xiao asked.

"Tsk, this is your mission Dungeon, you go first," Su Sheng grinned, unless Li Xiao instantly kills at six seconds! Otherwise each has a chance!

Li Xiao didn't hold back and opened the dice interface.

Four points!

Not small, a big chance to win!

Then Su Sheng started rolling the dice...
