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. “This defense is much stronger than a LV5 elite boss!”

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 “Corrupt Sword” in his off-hand;

Although he wasn’t going to use this sword, the “Corrupt Sword” could enhance some of Song Jian’s strength attributes. Only when he equipped the “Corrupt Sword” could his strength reach its current peak – nine points;

With “Beretta Double Barrel Shotgun” 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 “Tough Mutated Zombie.” The steel balls even tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Being too close, the “Tough Mutated Zombie” 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 “Tusk Fang Stinger,” charging at the monster;

The “Tough Mutated Zombie’s” 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 “Tough Mutated Zombie.” 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 “Thick Skin” and the deflection effect of the zombie leader’s 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 “Tough Mutated Zombie” 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 zombie’s body, and stabbed at it through the gaps in its body. Song Jian could sense that the skin of the “Tough Mutated Zombie” was very tough. Even with the sharpness of the “Tusk Fang Stinger,” 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 zombie’s brain. Damage in the thirties floated up from its head.

“As expected of a growing silver-quality weapon, it really is powerful!” 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 Ke’er’s grasp really was;

The “Tough Mutated Zombie” was not very fast. Even though it had the iron chain as a semi-distance attack method, as long as Li Ke’er was careful, it was not impossible for her to kill it alone;

“I can’t let the little girl outshine me!” Song Jian thought, unable to help but speed up his movements;

Hisss hisss hisss hisss hisss-

Five almost imperceptible slicing sounds emerged, and the “Tough Mutated Zombie” showed five single-digit damage points above its head. Then Song Jian was heard softly commanding: “Burst!”

Bang-

A ball of green smoke erupted from the body of the “Tough Mutated Zombie”, and its vitality points rapidly decreased significantly;

“This dagger is really like some kind of bug!” Song Jian couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice;

“Little Cheap Brother, you’re really powerful!” Li Ke’er could hardly believe her eyes. A damage figure of over a hundred points floated up from the “Tough Mutated Zombie’s” head, which was truly terrifying;

Li Ke’er, who was originally worried that “Little Cheap Brother’s” damage wasn’t enough, had been suppressing her damage so that she wouldn’t over-threat (OT). But now, after seeing the strength of “Little Cheap Brother,” she realized that he was actually very powerful.

“If that’s the case, I need to show my full strength as well!” Li Ke’er secretly cheered herself on, her little face revealing a serious look;

“Sniper Continuous Shooting!”

With a light yell, the semi-transparent crossbow bolts fired from the silver hand crossbow created a nearly continuous line shooting towards the monster’s body;

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-

The vitality of the “Tough Mutated Zombie,” like a levee bursting, visibly dropped rapidly. Initially, it had nearly three hundred vitality points, but after Li Ke’er finished releasing her ability and caught her breath, only twenty-some points remained;

“Hiss-, over two hundred points of vitality damage, isn’t this what you call cheating?” Song Jian stared in amazement. While he had already greatly overestimated Li Ke’er’s strength, it turned out he had somewhat underestimated her in the end.

“Ke’er, this skill is…” Song Jian asked in surprise.

Previously, Li Ke’er already had a high-damage ability, “Burst Arrow.” Now, another skill, “Sniper Continuous Shooting,” had suddenly appeared, its power not falling short of the previous ability in any way;

“Little Cheap Brother, this is a skill that comes with the weapon after it upgrades. It doesn’t use any resources, it just has a long cooldown time, about ten minutes.” Li Ke’er 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 “Tough Mutated Zombie.” 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 – “Tough Zombie’s Tendon” and “Tough Zombie’s Bone Marrow,” plus a blue-quality scroll;

“Tough Zombie’s Tendon (White), Material, Can be used to craft longbows. Usage requirements: Possess Weapon Crafting Skill.” Below the item’s properties, there is a line of gray text [Can be used to strengthen weapons]

“Tough Zombie’s Bone Marrow (White), Material, Can be used to concoct potions. Usage requirement: Possess Potion Crafting Skill.”

Under the item’s 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 “Tough Zombie’s Tendon” to Li Ke’er, while the material that could enhance potions was put into his own inventory.

“Even an ordinary level five small monster can drop a blue-quality item. It looks like 1 will have to frequently hunt monsters with Ke’er from now on.” Song Jian thought to himself. He even suspected that Li Ke’er had some hidden luck attributes. Otherwise, how could she be favored by the game system so much!

Picking up this blue-quality scroll, Song Jian’s eyes lit up. As it turns out, it was a skill scroll.
