Lin Jie knew that something was wrong the moment he entered the teleportation circle as there was a lot more commotion in the surroundings! Being an agile but simple-minded fighter and yet he realized the changes revealed the severity of the problem. If even he could notice the commotion, then the situation must be bad!
“You have entered the Moratti Shrine. You are now battling alone because your teammates are too far away from you. The communication between you and your teammates is currently blocked.”
Lin Jie’s heart sank after he checked the situation around him with his sharp eyes. The Moratti Shrine was a mystic dragon shrine, and Moratti was a Death Demon Dragon, which splashed its offsprings anywhere like a grass carp. As a result, the entire temple was filled with a disgusting stench and danger!
Lin Jie had the map of the Moratti Shrine, and he confirmed his location. He was at the Northwest area of the map where the greatest dragon incubator was situated. The incubation pool was considered the greatest not because there were many strong dragons but because the dragons there were all trash!
The incubator was full of different types of trashy dragon eggs due to the low cost of production! From a distance, Lin Jie saw more than 1,000 closely packed eggs! Although the breed of the dragons was lousy, their levels were not! In addition, as the descendants of the mighty dragon, the system had to strengthen the dragon eggs. Lin Jie had to face thousands of strengthened dragons, and his situation was terrible!
“Even I am allocated to this venue, what about them...” Lin Jie frowned. Although Lin Jie did not have to worry about the Wine God Youngster as he had ample experiences being a mercenary and adapting to all kinds of maps, he was worried about Zheng Ziliang. Zheng Ziliang spent most of his time working in some NPC’s underground chamber or laboratory and finding ways to steal some materials from the mentor so that he could create a stunning super bomb, how would he be able to survive in such places...
No way, Lin Jie had to find that dude! He had to meet the two of them as soon as possible!
The message “because your teammates are too far away from you” was rather interesting because it suggested that Lin Jie could still contact his teammates provided that they were near one another.
He had absolutely no time to waste and had to clear a path! He continuously used the Inspect spell as he looked at the incubator which appeared like a magnified public toilet.
[Unhatched Thorn Raptor Egg]: Level 30, Health Points: 10
(Note: This dragon egg which carries the dragon bloodline can sense the slightest scent of a non-dragon biological creature, this will trigger it to devour you in order for it to evolve completely.)
Unless these dragon eggs hatched on their own, they were neglected like weeds. In this case, the scent of a human was the best agent for hatching the eggs!
Lin Jie spotted a corner with a few shattered eggshells which seemed to belong to some low-grade dragons which hatched in advance. These eggs were as hard as steel and proved to be more effective than usual obstacles. The low-grade dragons were huge, if Lin Jie stayed in that corner, only a maximum of 2 dragons could attack him at the same time!
Moratti Shrine Map was not an ordinary map where players could sneak through perilous places and escape unscathed after stealing the treasure chest! This place demanded the players to be skillful and lucky, and the only way to get out of the map was to kill all the monsters!
Lin Jie hid in the corner and fired the Fire Gun in the air! The pungent smell of gunpowder irritated the starving low-grade dragons, and they bit the eggshell from the inside then dragged their slimy bodies out of the shell. They raised their heads in the air as their sharp teeth cut through their chins and then rushed towards Lin Jie!
[Thorn Raptor] (Elites)
Level 32
Health Points: 35,000
Attack Power: 650-750
Defense: 300
Additional effect: Dragon Skin, reduces Mana and Physical Damage by 20%
More than ten low-grade dragons raced towards Lin Jie and sank their teeth into his armor, creating more than 300 points of damage! In contrast, Lin Jie’s backhand stab only resulted in 245-point damage!
“How crazy! Not only do they have such high defense, but they can also even alleviate the damage done to them!” Lin Jie cursed. Even though these dragons were low-grade ones, they still inherited the tough skin and defense power which other dragons had! Monsters with such high defense gave Lin Jie a headache! With such strong defense, even the Critical Hit would have limited effect in defeating them.
One of the main reasons why there was little output in the Berserker was due to the lack of effective Armor Penetration to tackle the defense forces of the opponent. Not every Berserker was like Lin Jie, who possessed the Sub-Legendary Shards. Why were the Mages who leveled up quick popular? Without doubt, it was because their output was independent of the defense level of the monsters. As The New Age was considerably realistic, it could not give the monsters an unjustified ability to defend themselves against magic attacks. Therefore, the Mages had real solid attack skills! Due to the difference in the ability of the characters, after the monsters negated the harm caused by the attack, the effects of the attack by different characters would vary greatly.
However, jobs like Thief and Hunter had Armor Ignore. Druids had Armor Penetration Skill while Paladins could trap their target in a cycle of getting weaker. These were the ways to make full use of one’s ability. As for Warriors, their only mantra was to FIGHT! Fight to the best of their ability and nothing else!
Lin Jie activated the Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner and the Flame Boost. Then, a glaring flame raced ahead and wiped out thousands of enemies!
-474!
-459!
-988!
-1,000!
The damage number caused was finally meeting expectations. Next, Lin Jie gobbled down a glass of elementary Enrage mode potion and was extremely surprised that only 1 low-grade dragon could attack him! These fools were gigantic; hence, the other dragons were blocked and could do nothing but lick their tongues, hoping to get some nutrients.
Subsequently, Lin Jie made up his mind and drank the Natural Recovery Potion while fighting. The Flame Boost and the Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner were always able to create satisfactory damage to the dragons and blood popped out piece by piece as the Damage Dealt increased. In addition, the little creatures in the eggshells started fidgeting as they sensed the smell of blood and were eager to break out of their shells to get their share of the loot. As more monsters appeared, the harm done to Lin Jie was constant!
When the thickening of the Kiara Beast King Armor was completely superimposed, the damage done to Lin Jie also reduced from 300 to around 250, and he could survive if he drank the Blood Potion.
The happier thing was that amongst the strengthened low-grade dragons were a group of Enhanced Elite that tried to squeeze in and tear Lin Jie apart. Unfortunately, the little dragons in front of them completely blocked their way, and they could only get beaten up for nothing!
Lin Jie used all of his skills, and an idea came to his mind, which was to use the new skill he learned: [Shield Cut]. The skill enabled him to attack regardless of the Magic Shield and Armour for once while creating damage of 150% and took 15 seconds to cool down.
The skill was superb for attacking Shield Specialists and Mages, but it seemed like a normal skill for countering the monsters?
“Shield Cut!” screamed Lin Jie.
The tip of Thunderbolt Sword was shrouded by a layer of yellow light. The sword stabbed into the stomach of a low-grade dragon with a loud sound. Surprisingly, the thick and tough scales did not hinder Lin Jie, and the sword slid in easily!
-614!
Lin Jie was shocked by the damage value! He pulled out the calculator quietly and realized that the Shield Cut skill disregarded at least 200 defense points of the dragons! Lin Jie was overjoyed, and he continued to stab the dragon after the skill had cooled down...
-1,200! (Critical Hit)
“Hahahaha, amazing skill!” Lin Jie laughed. Shield Cut could actually Armor Ignore! This would definitely let him have an edge on those jobs with defense power!
As the Shield Cut landed, the low-grade dragon which contributed heavily towards Lin Jie’s total points finally growled with indignance and collapsed! A piece of grade 2 dragon skin filled with scales popped out—such skin could only be sold for the price of typical leather, meh, which was a maximum of 2 silver coins.
Although the price was low, there were many such skins! As long as Lin Jie defeated all the dragons before him, even the trashy dragon skin would be worth a lot! In addition, there were also many Strengthened Elites!
Lin Jie licked his lips and thought to himself, ‘The experience points of the level 30 Elites are very high and gaining points with the EXP Gems is super satisfactory!’
As time passed, Lin Jie indulged in gaining experience and dragon skins, there were more and more dragon skins in his bag, while his experience level peaked! A clear tinkle sounded, and a golden light shone, Lin Jie had leveled up!
