The Great Thief

Chapter 903 The Temptation of Epic equipmen

In addition to "Codex: Prayer of Fortitude", the "Book: Gift of the Wild" was also an excellent find. This was a Druid skill that gave everyone bonus stats.

There was actually a bug that could be exploited here that would enable them to farm Venom Belchers indefinitely.

When there were five Venom Belchers and four died, the players could voluntarily wipe themselves. If there was a single player still alive, the monsters wouldn’t be replenished.

This way, all the monsters would be refreshed when the players were revived, and they could fight against them again. If they killed all, but the last one and got themselves wiped again...

This was the way to farm Venom Belchers indefinitely, but it was a difficult method.

Many players that tried to farm the Venom Belchers were unsuccessful, and only those who had practiced for a long time could keep going without any mistakes.

Lu Li did not intend to use this bug now. They were in the process of taking the First Clear, which meant that time was of the essence. Moreover, he was also not interested in struggling for several days just to obtain Silver gear. He had quicker ways of earning more money than to farm Venom Belchers.

The five Venom Belchers were small Bosses that took more than ten minutes to defeat.

However, they didn’t have time to loot the bodies, as the Bilespewers immediately attacked afterwards.

They had faced these monsters before, and they were incredibly difficult to defeat. If they hadn’t slowly pulled them into a corner, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group might have been wiped.

"There are a few more waves, and we can’t kill this one!" Sesame Rice Ball shouted. He was already about to run out of mana. Lonesome Flower was faring a little better, but his Regeneration skill had a four-minute cooldown.

Fighting a Boss usually only required a single target attack, which typically costed far less mana than area of effect attacks.

March Rain, who was well-disciplined, had managed to maintain a third of her mana. She rarely rushed the healing of any particular player, and most of them were maintained at about half HP.

Hachi Chan was also playing a very important role; her strength was that her mana bar was almost never exhausted.

Her jumble of equipment reduced her healing ability, but she was blessed with various damage reduction, vitality, mobility and other unique skills. This was why Lu Li wasn’t worried at all. If there really was a crisis, he could transform into a Worgen.

As long as their healers survived, there was no possibility of the group being wiped. He and Moonlight could just slowly cut the monsters down.

After all, the Bilespewers were the last wave of monsters.

However, Lu Li didn’t say this, as he couldn’t explain where this knowledge had come from.

It took a long time to kill the last monster. Everyone looked anxiously at Baron Rivendare’s old castle, afraid that more waves would come.

Fortunately, it was really over and everyone let out a sigh of relief before falling into an exhausted heap on the ground.

Fighting wave after wave felt more stressful and difficult than fighting a Boss.

According to Lu Li’s understanding, most major guilds were able to progress through this part, but there were a few smaller guilds that were stuck here for a long time.

"We’ll take a break for now and go in later. Dreamy, go and loot those monsters. They might have dropped something good," Lu Li said as he looked at the young hunter.

Although Remnant Dream was very tired and was lying on the ground, when she heard Lu Li’s command, she obediently went over to loot the bodies one at a time.

"Leather... it looks nice. March Rain can use it to make clothes. A piece of meat – so gross! Wandering can eat it..."

As she looted the items, she chanted away and distributed the materials. This lucky girl was already more than qualified to do so; even Lu Li didn’t say anything to stop her.

"Codex: Prayer of Fortitude... errr, this seems like a skill book," Remnant Dream said as she looted a Venom Belcher. It felt like a skill book and looked like a skill book, but it had a very unique model.

"Prayer of Fortitude is a skill for March Rain. Give it to her," Lu Li sighed with relief.

Although he had a feeling it would drop, he had actually spent more than half a month farming here to find this book so that he could fund his sister’s tuition. In the end, he only managed to obtain "Book: Gift of the Wild", which was worth much less than the Prayer of Fortitude.

"It seems like it’s quite strong," March Rain commented as she read over it a few times, then flipped over to the cover and drew some figures over it.

The book suddenly emitted a pure white light which covered everyone, and they all received a buff called the Prayer of Fortitude. Lu Li looked at the effect and saw that it added more than 700HP for him, bring his total to over 4000.

As for Nathanos Blightcaller’s Anger, which increased HP by 20%, Attack by 20% and provided a 20% chance of ignoring Ramstein the Gorger’s Defence, this buff had disappeared after Ramstein died.

The rest of the Venom Belchers didn’t drop anything, but this was expected as there were only five of them.

Lu Li suddenly regretted choosing not to abuse the bug. If their luck was so good, they might have found a few copies of the "Codex: Prayer of Fortitude" and made a large profit.

"Get up when you’re reading to fight the Baron; there are a few things in there you might be interested in," Lu Li said as he started moving, then continued, "He drops a powerful two-handed sword – the Runeblade of Baron Rivendale – and it’s an Epic equipment..."

The Runeblade of Baron Rivendale was a two-handed sword that increased the user’s movement speed and HP regeneration. It was simply the upgraded version of the evil aura that some special items carried. If you wanted an impressive and ruthless weapon, this would have been your first choice.

The Plate Armor professions in the group immediately became exited. While they all had exquisite weapons on hand, none of them were Epic.

There wasn’t a single person that didn’t want an Epic sword, especially one that could lay waste to a battlefield of monsters.
