The entire deserted village fell silent, the stench of blood permeating the surroundings.
The seventy-two gnoll corpses remained unchanged.
Not long after.
The instance has entered the next phase.
The mournful and tragic bugle call resounded throughout the heavens.
The celestial phenomena have reversed!
The silver moon hangs high in the sky!
The lingering light of the soul merged with the radiance of the silver moon and converged in one place.
This time, Cheng Yang, who was observing up close, made a different discovery! There was a distinct sense of stagnation and death in the silver moonlight, and it was precisely this abnormality of the silver moon that further activated the blasphemous rituals that had been set up around the church!
Imagine.
Before anything happened, the seventy-two-person priesthood was praying with the congregation.
However, the sudden change in the Silver Moon, while activating the blasphemous ritual, also distorted the entire seventy-two-person priesthood into evil gnolls.
What followed was the tragic fate of the entire village!
An entire village of mortals was sacrificed!
The church is now in ruins!
The hatred of countless wronged souls gathers and is then induced to transform into half-spirited monsters!
Chapter 11: The Boss Who Was Killed in Five Seconds
Awooo! —
The silent roar had only just begun.
Cheng Yang shot him through the throat, forcibly stopping his desperate howl.
Six directions and a hundred flowers!
The gun comes out like a dragon!
In an instant, it enveloped the upper body of [Gnoll Fel Warrior: Desecrating Demon Horus], with gunfire bursting forth like a hundred flowers blooming one after another. Even the blood flowers that exploded on the BOSS's body transformed into the shape of a hundred flowers!
This is not just about amazing special effects!
Having been hit by the Blood Curse of the Six Harmonies Flowers, the bleeding effect is bound to stack up wildly!
A wild dance of spears!
Dragons and snakes crisscross!
The BOSS didn't even have time to form a blocking action before Cheng Yang interrupted it halfway!
With Cheng Yang's final flip and thrust!
[Gnoll Fel Warrior: Desecrating Demon Horus] His ugly, grotesque head was pierced through his forehead, and then half of his skull was blown off, crashing to the ground with a thud, the massive corpse kicking up clouds of dust!
【Ding! 】
[The Gnoll Fel Warrior: Defiler Horus LV3 is dead...]
[General Experience +55...]
[Combat behavior consistent with your profession detected. Profession experience +50...]
[Loot being automatically collected...]
[Obtained: White Wolf Secret Sword (Azure) *1, Howling of Despair (Skill Book) *1...]
Five seconds!
Cheng Yang stood there, gun sheathed, lost in thought:
"What a tremendous transformation... As expected of the Extraordinary Eight Extremes. If there is any flaw, it is only that the mode of consuming both physical strength and mana is somewhat difficult to measure. However, with the help of these gnolls that are refreshed every day, we can always adapt."
It is worth mentioning that.
The boss is still the same boss, and the dungeon is still the same dungeon.
However, the loot dropped by the BOSS has been greatly reduced.
Holding the White Wolf Secret Sword, which has a typical Western style, Cheng Yang frowned after seeing a few sword movements.
The feel of a Western-style one-handed sword was undoubtedly terrible for Cheng Yang, who was used to traditional Chinese martial arts.
In terms of weight and maneuverability, it is far inferior to my own Six Harmonies Hundred Flowers Spear!
[Six Directions and a Hundred Flowers: Residing in the center of the six directions, displaying the wonders of a hundred flowers!]
[Category: Weapon (Mystic Code)!]
[Quality: Purple Light!]
[Effect: Piercing +5, Severe Wound +3, Spellbreaker +3!]
[Note: If the equipped item possesses the talent "Magic Circuit," the hidden trait "Blood Curse of Flowers" will be activated!]
honestly.
From the perspective of an average player, this piece of equipment would undoubtedly be at the bottom of the prestigious purple gear category.
But for Cheng Yang, the messenger of heroic spirits...
I wouldn't even trade this Six Harmonies Hundred Flowers Spear for a golden weapon!
Without him.
Mystic Codes are the true class equipment for Heroic Spirits!
These kinds of equipment come with a magic circuit from the very beginning of their creation. When combined with their own magic circuit, their power is doubled and they can also activate hidden properties! Furthermore, only Mystic Codes can bear the projection and manifestation of Heroic Spirit Noble Phantasms!
and so.
Cheng Yang really lacks an ancient Eastern sword so that he can use it to carry the concept of sword-type treasures such as [Arc of No Regrets] and [Sword of Contract Victory].
Just at this time.
The system's completion calculation sounded simultaneously:
【Ding! 】
[After testing, the free weekly dungeon, Gnoll Village, has been cleared...]
[Instance calculation in progress...]
[Player skill S+, efficiency S+...]
Overall rating: S+...
[Congratulations, player, you have gained 100 basic general experience points, and your S-rank increase is 220 points...]
[Detected player's first clear of the free weekly dungeon, Gnoll Village...]
[Congratulations to the player who has received: 150 Cross-Network Coins, 1 Silver Clearance Chest...]
【Ding! 】
[Note: The free weekly dungeon, Gnoll Village, is currently on cooldown. Cooldown time: 24 hours!]
Suddenly, everything blurred before his eyes, and when he opened them again, Cheng Yang was already back in his apartment.
Rubbing his temples, Cheng Yang complained:
"This awful dungeon teleportation system is unbearable! Damn, it feels like I've been hit over the head with a club!"
Unlike the cautious and meticulous self who had just transmigrated, this was different.
Although he is not yet a peerless master who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts, his keen intuition as a martial artist tells him that he doesn't need to be so cautious in private.
In this regard.
Cheng Yang speculated that his dark data had likely been blocked by the integrated network system.
Open the system message bar.
After looking at it several times, Cheng Yang finally realized that today's completion reward was the normal one, and the so-called first-clear reward for the dungeon was indeed more like a benefit given to new players by the Comprehensive Network System.
Open the silver treasure chest.
The reward was a meal voucher for the Gourmet Continent, one unit of Oryzanium Ore, and a Fireball spell scroll.
The Silver Ore and Fireball Scroll need no further explanation.
The [Gourmet Continent Dining Ticket] is a teleportation scroll for dungeons and other planes. It is also a temporary contract that grants players a three-day limited access to the Gourmet Continent (access to the food street only).
Although he was also very curious about what the Gourmet Continent looked like.
But in Cheng Yang's heart...
Personal growth is indeed more important.
then.
This meal voucher, along with the White Wolf Secret Sword, was then listed on the mall's auction house.
"Tsk! It's so tough being a newbie player. A silver treasure chest, and they can't even get any gold coins!"
"How long do I have to save up to afford a single dose of the Gold-grade Bloodline Elixir?!"
"Speaking of which, we've accumulated over a thousand universal experience points from these two dungeon runs. Should we continue to hold back our level, or level up rapidly?"
I had nothing to do for a while.
Cheng Yang's thoughts are running wild.
One moment they were fretting about the stinginess of the treasure chest rewards, and the next they were jumping to their previously planned level-control strategy.
In fact.
The practice of suppressing one's level is not uncommon on online forums.
Many players do this, simply to build a foundation that others will immediately recognize as impressive.
Simultaneously.
There is no doubt about it.
Almost every player who holds back their level has the intention of taking advantage of freebies on the game.
The reason Cheng Yang hesitated about his strategy, which he had only formulated a day ago, was that he vaguely sensed that the dynamic balancing mechanism of the treasure chest system had already set its sights on him!
At least.
This wave of completion chests didn't contain any skill points, attribute points, or talent points, which are crucial for any new player to level up quickly!
After some thought.
Cheng Yang made up his mind to observe him for a few days before making a decision.
Chapter 12 Lianfeng and Du Qiangwei's Visit
Cheng Yang originally wanted to stay in the apartment and continue developing his character for a few more days. He wanted to figure out the drop patterns in the dungeons before deciding whether to upgrade his main class.
Regrettably.
Early on the third day.
The plan was abruptly cut short when a group of two women came to visit!
Upon hearing the knock, Cheng Yang, who was about to open the door, could sense the immense life force of the two people outside, as well as their enormous mental power, which, though somewhat mechanical, was astonishingly large, even through the door.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Yang knew.
Such extraordinary individuals must be a unique product of the God-like plane: Super Warriors!
