Chapter 70: Chapter 70: The Strong Mutated Zombie
Translator: 549690339
Looking at the increasingly close monster, Song Jian furrowed his brows, a look of surprise emerging on his face. âThis defense is much stronger than a LV5 elite boss!â
He had never encountered this situation prior when using his pistol to attack the zombie leader. It should be noted that the current monster was just an ordinary level five creature;
Having run out of bullets, Song Jian swiftly unequipped the pistol from the equipment bar and put it in his inventory. Instead, he equipped the âCorrupt Swordâ in his off-hand;
Although he wasnât going to use this sword, the âCorrupt Swordâ could enhance some of Song Jianâs strength attributes. Only when he equipped the âCorrupt Swordâ could his strength reach its current peak â nine points;
With âBeretta Double Barrel Shotgunâ in his grasp, Song Jian rushed towards the monster;
The closer the double-barreled shotgun was to the target, the greater the power. When he rushed to three or four meters in front of the monster, Song Jian pulled the trigger;
Bang, bang-
The upper and lower barrels of the gun almost simultaneously spewed out a trail of fire. Two twenty-eight pellets shot towards the monster in a thirty-degree triangle. Numerous tiny steel balls scattered in the air, becoming a rain of steel that enveloped the whole area in front of the âTough Mutated Zombie.â The steel balls even tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
Being too close, the âTough Mutated Zombieâ was unable to react in time and could only forcefully endure this attack;
The monster stumbling towards Song Jian faltered, as though its chest had been powerfully bitten by a ferocious beast. All the steel balls were deeply embedded into its flesh;
Song Jian swiftly swung the double-barreled shotgun onto his back and withdrew the âTusk Fang Stinger,â charging at the monster;
The âTough Mutated Zombieâsâ eyes flashed red, and it violently swung its right hand forward. The iron chain wound around its arm produced a shrill whistling noise as it brutally lashed towards Song Jian;
At this point, Song Jian was less than two meters away from the âTough Mutated Zombie.â Caught off guard, the iron chain smashed into his body.
Clang-
A crisp metallic striking sound rang out. The area hit by the iron chain displayed the form of chainmail. Song Jian felt a great force on his shoulder. His charging figure abruptly slowed down, and a few dozen damage points floated above his head;
Given his natural talent âThick Skinâ and the deflection effect of the zombie leaderâs battle armor, Song Jian was still able to bear the loss of these dozens of vitality points. After all, regardless of how you put it, the âTough Mutated Zombieâ was just an ordinary level five creature. Since the defensive figure had already turned out to be so bizarre, if the offensive figure was further increased, the level five elite bosses would feel unbearable!;
The battle continued. Song Jian swung his dagger, dodged the chains on the mutated zombieâs body, and stabbed at it through the gaps in its body. Song Jian could sense that the skin of the âTough Mutated Zombieâ was very tough. Even with the sharpness of the âTusk Fang Stinger,â only a third of the blade could be stabbed in;
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh-
Semi-transparent crossbow bolts were embedded one after the other into the zombieâs brain. Damage in the thirties floated up from its head.
âAs expected of a growing silver-quality weapon, it really is powerful!â Song Jian raised his eyebrows in surprise. With such a powerful defense, if they could still inflict damage in the thirties, it gave a good indication of just how powerful the hand crossbow in Li Keâerâs grasp really was;
The âTough Mutated Zombieâ was not very fast. Even though it had the iron chain as a semi-distance attack method, as long as Li Keâer was careful, it was not impossible for her to kill it alone;
âI canât let the little girl outshine me!â Song Jian thought, unable to help but speed up his movements;
Hisss hisss hisss hisss hisss-
Five almost imperceptible slicing sounds emerged, and the âTough Mutated Zombieâ showed five single-digit damage points above its head. Then Song Jian was heard softly commanding: âBurst!â
Bang-
A ball of green smoke erupted from the body of the âTough Mutated Zombieâ, and its vitality points rapidly decreased significantly;
âThis dagger is really like some kind of bug!â Song Jian couldnât help but exclaim in a low voice;
âLittle Cheap Brother, youâre really powerful!â Li Keâer could hardly believe her eyes. A damage figure of over a hundred points floated up from the âTough Mutated Zombieâsâ head, which was truly terrifying;
Li Keâer, who was originally worried that âLittle Cheap Brotherâsâ damage wasnât enough, had been suppressing her damage so that she wouldnât over-threat (OT). But now, after seeing the strength of âLittle Cheap Brother,â she realized that he was actually very powerful.
âIf thatâs the case, I need to show my full strength as well!â Li Keâer secretly cheered herself on, her little face revealing a serious look;
âSniper Continuous Shooting!â
With a light yell, the semi-transparent crossbow bolts fired from the silver hand crossbow created a nearly continuous line shooting towards the monsterâs body;
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-
The vitality of the âTough Mutated Zombie,â like a levee bursting, visibly dropped rapidly. Initially, it had nearly three hundred vitality points, but after Li Keâer finished releasing her ability and caught her breath, only twenty-some points remained;
âHiss-, over two hundred points of vitality damage, isnât this what you call cheating?â Song Jian stared in amazement. While he had already greatly overestimated Li Keâerâs strength, it turned out he had somewhat underestimated her in the end.
âKeâer, this skill isâ¦â Song Jian asked in surprise.
Previously, Li Keâer already had a high-damage ability, âBurst Arrow.â Now, another skill, âSniper Continuous Shooting,â had suddenly appeared, its power not falling short of the previous ability in any way;
âLittle Cheap Brother, this is a skill that comes with the weapon after it upgrades. It doesnât use any resources, it just has a long cooldown time, about ten minutes.â Li Keâer cheerfully brandished her hand crossbow, a clear showy expression on her face;
Swinging his dagger, Song Jian harvested the last twenty-some vitality points of the âTough Mutated Zombie.â The monster duo kneeled down, letting out an unwilling roar before collapsing with a loud thud;
After death, the monster did not disintegrate into dark ash. Next to its body, three items dropped out, two white-quality materials â âTough Zombieâs Tendonâ and âTough Zombieâs Bone Marrow,â plus a blue-quality scroll;
âTough Zombieâs Tendon (White), Material, Can be used to craft longbows. Usage requirements: Possess Weapon Crafting Skill.â Below the itemâs properties, there is a line of gray text [Can be used to strengthen weapons]
âTough Zombieâs Bone Marrow (White), Material, Can be used to concoct potions. Usage requirement: Possess Potion Crafting Skill.â
Under the itemâs properties, there is also a line of gray text [Can be used to strengthen potions]
Since both of them had inflicted damage on the monster, both were able to see these item properties. After a quick glance, Song Jian directly passed the âTough Zombieâs Tendonâ to Li Keâer, while the material that could enhance potions was put into his own inventory.
âEven an ordinary level five small monster can drop a blue-quality item. It looks like 1 will have to frequently hunt monsters with Keâer from now on.â Song Jian thought to himself. He even suspected that Li Keâer had some hidden luck attributes. Otherwise, how could she be favored by the game system so much!
Picking up this blue-quality scroll, Song Jianâs eyes lit up. As it turns out, it was a skill scroll.
