“It’s dead, it’s finally dead!” A dozen black bats flew to the distance then regrouped and slowly dispersed, revealing Gao Da Nian’s silhouette among them. At this point, his vitality was less than one-tenth;

Song Jian sank dejectedly onto the ground, stashing away the rocket launcher, his hands still slightly shaking. Although his vitality points had been gradually restored to full value, the previous encounters were truly perilous. If he had been consecutively hit by the earth dragon columns, even with an increase of 500% in his vitality recovery speed, he would have surely been killed instantly; “Check on Lin Sheng, is he all right? He’s not dead, is he?” Song Jian shouted out loudly.

“I can’t move, I’m almost in a near-death condition. If it wasn’t for my lifeline skill left, I would have been killed just now.” Gao Da Nian cried out, still shaken.

He had stumbled upon a passive skill. When his vitality points dropped to 30%, the “Bat Wing Blotting Out the Sky” skill would activate, making him immune to the injuries he was currently enduring. His body would turn into a dozen bats for thirty seconds. As long as one of these bats survived, Gao Da Nian wouldn’t die;

However, after the skill ended, Gao Da Nian’s vitality points would drop to the bare minimum. As long as he didn’t have any adverse conditions, like bleeding, he could slowly recover; at the moment, Gao Da Nian didn’t even want to move. He lay flat on the ground, took out some restoration food from his pack, and began to slowly recover his vitality;

“I, cough, I’m okay!” Lin Sheng turned over in a way that jostled the stack of wooden parts next to him. The parts clattered, some falling onto his body. Seeing this, Song Jian was terrified. He thought these parts could kill Lin Sheng if the boss hadn’t;

At this time, Lin Sheng was in an even worse condition than Gao Da Nian. His left arm was broken; above the status bar on his head, the adverse effect of “fracture” was displayed. His vitality points had also dropped to the lowest point. Even the action of reaching out for the restoration food was delayed;

The three men couldn’t even turn their gaze to the items dropped by the boss. They just lay on the ground and rested. This experience was like a close shave with death. They hadn’t expected the boss’s last skill, which was utterly dreadful—a complete screen attack. If Song Jian hadn’t slain the boss at the end, Lin Sheng and Gao Da Nian wouldn’t have escaped death;

“That boss’s attack was a bit too high. Who else could pass this sub-dungeon besides us?” Lin Sheng sat up and grumbled as he ate his food;

“You’re not being very modest with that statement,” Gao Da Nian said, having already stood up. His vitality points had recovered to more than 90%, although his face was still a bit pallid;

“If Song Jian hadn’t been here, we would have already failed at the first level. We wouldn’t have even laid eyes on this boss,” Gao Da Nian said with gratefulness on his face. “Song Jian, you should pick first from the items the boss dropped. Don’t hold back. Without you, both of us would have been finished.”

“Yeah, yeah, I’d be satisfied with just some experience points.” Lin Sheng said. Then he opened his property bar to look and was immediately surprised. “Wow, what a high experience value! I… I’m about to level up!”

Gao Da Nian was startled and looked at his own experience points. He was baffled. His level had just risen to seven, but now the experience bar was already two-thirds full. He’d level up again after killing a hundred or so level five monsters at most. It seemed like he could level up as soon as today if he could get through this sub-dungeon.

“After two or three more monsters, I’ll reach level six.” Lin Sheng said, clearly pleased. His level was lower, so the experience points he earned were relatively fewer, but it was still enough for him to level up;

Song Jian checked his experience points. He’d only been given reduced experience points for fighting level five monsters, but his experience bar for level ten had nearly filled up by a third. His experience was now at 48% for level ten.

“Okay, enough with the niceties. Let’s see what the boss dropped and divide it among us.” Song Jian said. He cast a “Surgical Cure” on Lin Sheng who’d just walked towards him. Immediately, a beam of white light enveloped Lin Sheng, and the “fracture” status above his head disappeared;

Lin Sheng touched his left arm, a grateful look on his face, and nodded at Song Jian;

If Song Jian hadn’t healed him, Lin Sheng’s “fracture” status might have continued until the third level. Only after leveling up from fighting a few minor monsters would he totally recover. But that would have been too dangerous. He couldn’t use his left arm, and any carelessness could cost him his life;

“Hey, the boss dropped its large wrench. This is a long-weapon, Gao Da Nian, do you want it?” Song Jian picked up a huge wrench, which was almost as tall as a person. One end was a smooth arc handle, and the other end was a movable clip;

“Maintenance Master’s Adjustable Wrench (Blue), Long Weapon, Two-Handed, Equipment Effect: Attack 45-56, Strength + 3, Critical Hit Increase 15%. Special Effect 1: After causing damage to the target, there is a certain probability to decrease the target’s defense value by 30%. Special Effect 2: Clamp (Active), after releasing, it can lock the target’s weapon for three seconds. If the skill is released successfully, it can interrupt the skill that the target is releasing, and there is a certain probability to damage the target’s weapon; Requirement: Level 7, Can It Be Taken Out Of The Game: No”

“Mine, mine, Brother Song, I want this weapon.” Gao Da Nian glistened at the sight of the new weapon. He tucked away his long axe and took the blue quality weapon from the boss. His eyes were full of delight;

“Hey, why didn’t it drop a dagger!” Lin Sheng glanced at the blue dagger in Song Jian’s hand, his tone envious;

“No dagger, but do you want the skill?” Song Jian asked, shaking a skill scroll in his hand;

This skill scroll was emitting a pale silver glow, which made Gao Da Nian and Lin Sheng tense up;

“Skill Scroll: Backstab: Skill Book, Effect: After use, learn the skill ‘Backstab’; ‘Backstab’: Launch an attack from behind the target, cause 15O%+15 weapon damage to the target; the main-hand weapon must use a dagger to use this skill. After using this skill successfully, add a combo skill point; skill consumption: 40 energy points; skill cast time: instant; skill cooldown: none. Skill explanation: This is one of the inherited skills of the Thief class.” “Inherited skill, hahaha, an inherited skill of the Thief class, oh yeah!” Lin Sheng laughed loudly, took the skill scroll and used it directly. His “Stealth” skill was also one of the Thief class’s inherited skills. Now he had two inherited skills of the Thief class, taking him another step closer to becoming a Thief;

“This boss is not bad. It gave each of the three of us a useful skill. The last one is mine.” Song Jian looked at the white glowing skill book in his hand and a smile appeared on his face;
