The self-destructing robots had a limited attack range, and the sizable bodies of Frost Nagas were also a factor. A single robot explosion could envelope at most a dozen Nagas, any more and it would exceed the attack range of the robot.
After dealing with the wounded Frost Nagas, Song Jian looked at the strewn bodies all over the ground, a satisfied smile on his face. He had lured just the right amount of enemies this time and they were all within the range of the robot’s explosion.
His experience points heightened slightly again. The experience points from Level 16 elite monsters were superior to regular monsters at the same level. Song Jian’s rewards were plentiful.
Moreover, Frost Nagas had exploded into Frost Crystals all over the place, some even dropped Frost Crystal Cores. There was even a blue-quality accessory and dozens of Doomsday Coins, which were incredibly lucky drops.
Accessories, rings, and badges had a very low drop rate, so some players were already at level 12-13 and still didn’t own a single accessory.
Although Song Jian owned two accessories, they weren’t exceptional and their attributes were terribly lacking.
One was a “Postman Bag”, a green-quality accessory that could store twelve items. The other was an “Exquisite Totem Mark”, also green-quality. It only increased the Vitality Points recovery speed by a small amount when worn as an accessory, but it was excellent as a socketed item.
Song Jian picked up the dropped accessory from the Frost Naga, hesitating as to which of his current two accessories it should replace.
“Heart of Ice (Blue), Accessory, Equipment Effect: Dexterity +3, Ice Resistance +15, Special Effect: Upon receiving damage, there’s a chance to activate a Frost Shield with 800 defense points. This effect lasts for 30 seconds, but can only occur once every 60 minutes; Item Level: 15, Equipment Requirement: None, Can it be taken out of the game: No”
After much deliberation, Song Jian finally replaced the “Exquisite Totem Mark” with “Heart of Ice”. A 3-point increase in Dexterity directly increased his dexterity to thirty, and an added 15 points of Ice Resistance made him particularly suited for his current location. Now any damage inflicted on him by the Frost Nagas would have difficulty penetrating his defense.
In particular, the Frost Shield was a life-saving skill. With a defense of 800 points, even a boss might be hard-pressed to break it in a short amount of time.
A Level 15 accessory like this was worth at least three thousand Doomsday Coins, almost as much as a weapon of the same level.
With his new equipment and the resulting increase in strength, Song Jian gained additional confidence.
“Time to clean up and get rid of the remaining Frost Nagas!” Song Jian’s gaze landed on a group of Frost Nagas wandering around in the distance.
From a distance of thirty meters, a few Frost Nagas were frolicking, their cold auras colliding and occasionally forming small ice spikes that crashed into each other.
Song Jian carefully stepped forward. This time, he approached within fifteen meters before a Frost Naga suddenly wore a vigilant expression. He then halted his steps.
He drew the Skeleton Crossbow in his left hand and attacked a Frost Naga Archer in the distance; “swoosh” a crossbow bolt punctured the air, shining with a fiery glow, it turned into a shooting star and almost instantaneously hit the Frost Naga Archer.
Clang-
A clear collision sound echoed, and the crossbow bolt, as if it had hit steel, created a white spot on the scale of the Frost Naga’s body, then fell to the snowy ground.
A small, 11-point damage indicator, including 3 fire damage, floated above the Frost Naga Archer’s head.
Song Jian was unfazed by inflicting such minor damage; it was within his expectations. Seeing the Frost Naga Archer heading his way, Song Jian quickly put away the crossbow, held the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, and waited for the fight to begin.
Five Frost Nagas viciously glanced at Song Jian, let out a roar, and quickly twisted their bodies, sliding on the icy ground towards him.
“Only five?” Song Jian frowned slightly and looked to his right; “swoosh swoosh
He pulled out the crossbow, aimed at a group of Nagas in the distance, and fired the crossbow. This attracted around seven or eight Frost Nagas rushing towards him. Song Jian only nodded in satisfaction, then turned to climb the icy wall.
When more than a dozen Frost Nagas gathered under the ice wall and started climbing up to chase Song Jian, two self-destructing robots were thrown down from above.
Boom- nÊw st𝒐ries at n𝒐/vel/b/i/n(.)co𝒎
The same process was repeated over and over again. After equipping the new accessory, Song Jian had an additional fifteen points of Ice Resistance. Now, the damage inflicted by the Frost Nagas was minimal. In contrast, his damage to them was terrifying. In just two minutes, he killed more than a dozen Frost Nagas. In addition to contributing a pile of Frost Crystals and combat experience, they also dropped a green-quality level 15 Plate Armor.
Afterward, Song Jian continuously repeated the process, attracting the surrounding Frost Nagas and reducing their numbers.
Although continuously repeating the same process was somewhat boring, when he thought about the Frost Crystals and Crystal Cores that these Frost Nagas provided, along with the Level 15 equipment in his backpack, Song Jian still felt gratified.
An hour flew by unconsciously. Almost all of the wandering Frost Nagas on the open ground had been eradicated. Song Jian’s level had also increased to Level 17, granting him another Skill Point.
Song Jian added the Skill Point to the “Sword Silk” skill. The proficiency of this skill was already maxed out, but Song Jian hadn’t had the appropriate Skill Point, so he’d waited until now.
With the “Sword Silk” skill at level 3, the power of each Sword Silk strand increased by 20 points and the attack range was extended by 1 meter. The skill change was only glanced at by Song Jian and wasn’t paid much attention to, as the skill level of Sword Silk was still too low, and there hadn’t been any significant changes.
Just then, a ringing sound reverberated in Song Jian’s ears as a line of system prompt information appeared before him.
System: The number of profession players in Doomsday City has reached one thousand, the level glory board has been activated! Your level is 17, with 14% progress to the next level. You are first on the level glory board, do you want to publish your information? Note, you can choose to hide, and the glory board will only show your ranking, your other information will not be displayed. “Level Glory Board?” Song Jian paused and, after a moment’s hesitation, chose to publish his information.
Soon, a new “Level Glory Board” column was added to the system interface. Upon opening, it displayed the information of one thousand players in Doomsday City.
At the top of the Level Glory Board was “Player Name: Song Jian, Profession: Sword Controller, Level: 17 with 14%”. Beneath him was the second player, “Player Name: Luo Tianyu, Profession: Centurion, Level: 15 with 45%”.
The third-ranked player chose to hide their information. The displayed information is “Player Name: Hidden, Profession: Hidden, Level: 15 with 43%”.
