Chapter 12: Land of Worms

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In front of a towering tree, countless pitch-black ghostly hands grabbed no less than seven Level 2 monsters. The agility of these monsters instantly decreased by 30%.

The source of these ghostly hands was naturally Jiang Shuai, who was in the middle of the monsters!

As an A+ class Soul Hunter, Jiang Shuai’s class was naturally very strong. One of his active skills,[Spirit Catcher], not only controlled for the longest period of time among all the classes in the early stages, it also had a continuous damage and a continuous reduction of all attributes.

Now, he was using another skill called Soul Control. It was a large-scale soft control and did not deal any damage.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan, who had been prepared, raised his greatsword.

[HP -1,300]

[HP -1,760]

[HP -2,143]

As the damage figures continued to increase, all the monsters were killed. Jiang Shuai’s body was shining, and he was now Level 3.

The reason why Zhang Xuan’s damage could increase so much was not because of his body, but because of the exquisite Iron Grade Greatsword in his hand that was worth 100,000.

At the beginning, Jiang Shuai had brought him many weapons that could be used by Warriors, and none of them could be compared to the Newbie Longsword.

Although the greatsword would reduce its attack speed by half, Zhang Xuan was interested in another effect of the greatsword: Melee attack damage increased by 25%.

Most Warriors, even those who focused on normal attacks, would rarely choose a greatsword. The main reason was that it was cumbersome.

But it was completely different for Zhang Xuan!

With this effect, every attack would stack around 400 damage, easily stacking it to thousands of damage!

“I’ve finally seen what it means to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. Compared to your class, I feel that my A+ is nothing!”

Jiang Shuai looked at the corpses on the ground and sighed. Who would have thought that an E-rank Warrior could be so powerful?

Originally, he had followed Zhang Xuan out to protect him, but now it seemed that he didn’t need it at all!

In this half an hour, he had truly witnessed the absurdity of Zhang Xuan’s class. How much HP did a Level 2 monster have? With one slash, the monster would lose a few bars!

“This is also thanks to your control. Next, let’s go to the dungeon. With more monsters, we can level up faster.”

“Forget it, you can go by yourself. I’ll level up to Level 3 today. When I go back, I’ll be able to lie down comfortably. My father won’t dare to say anything to me.”

Seeing that Jiang Shuai wanted to cancel the party, Zhang Xuan felt helpless. This kid was truly a traitor!

After changing classes, other people would be eager to hang out and farm monsters and dungeon every day. However, he was different. His class was only second to an S-rank Spirit Master, but he planned to lie flat from the beginning. He was the only one in the world.

However, as the saying went, there were policies and countermeasures. Zhang Xuan had already thought of how to bring this salted fish monster to level up from the beginning.

“Then you should go back by yourself. This should be the depths of the forest. I wonder if you can deal with the Level 2 monsters on your way back?”

Looking at the malicious smile on Zhang Xuan’s face, Jiang Shuai realized that he had fallen into a trap!

“Alright, alright. Big Brother has the final say. Wait for me to take a potion and clear the cooldown of my skill.”

Zhang Xuan’s eyelids twitched. Before he could persuade Jiang Shuai, Jiang Shuai had already used up a bottle of potion that was worth thousands of gold coins. Zhang Xuan even passed another bottle to Jiang Shuai.

However, the next moment, Jiang Shuai retracted his hand and said in a weird tone, “Oh, sorry, I forgot. E-rank Warriors don’t have any skills. I’m sorry~”

“Do you believe that I will make you meet the King of H*ll with a knife?”

“Is the King of H*ll good-looking?”

Outside the forest was an area of strange rocks called the Land of Worms. There were crisscrossing passages in the area, and a few strange worms of large size were slowly crawling toward a hole that looked like a crack.

The ground that they crawled over left a long trail of blood. If one looked closely, one could see that each Worm had a part of a human body in its mouth.

These were the unlucky ones who accidentally entered the Worm’s territory, and they would eventually become the food of the Mother of Worms.

“Captain, are we really going to clear this dungeon? I’m worried…”

Behind a huge rock, Xia Jinyao’s team was surrounded by a faint halo. One of the Knights spoke worriedly.

“Of course. Don’t forget what you said at the beginning. Since we’re all going to be on the rankings, we have to work hard. Don’t worry, I’ve learned a new skill now. It’s enough to deal with the Worms. When the time comes, as long as we can reach Level 4, we can try challenging the Mother of Worms!”

Hearing Xia Jinyao’s confidence, the others looked at each other and made up their minds.

“Captain, we will listen to you!”

From yesterday until now, they had already witnessed the power of an S-rank class. Unlike other classes, every time an S-rank class leveled up, it would obtain a skill evolution and its passive effect would also be further improved.

If they were still cooperating before, then after Level 2, it was completely Xia Jinyao’s massacre performance.

Her skills had a short cooldown and high damage. As her level increased, she gradually gained the ability to fight against groups. Xia Jinyao’s only flaw was that she had no control skills!

However, every time they saw Xia Jinyao’s strength, those dreamy numbers would appear in everyone’s mind. In comparison, the S-rank performance didn’t seem as dazzling.

At this moment, two figures appeared in the Land of Worms.

“Big Brother, do you still need me to provide control?”

As soon as Jiang Shuai said that, a few car-sized worms appeared in the distance and rushed over.

[Worm: Level 3]

[HP: 1,050]

[Attack: 175]

[Defense: 40]

[Agility: 92]

From the interface, the Worm was considered one of the more difficult monsters to deal with. Its agility was still increasing, and soon it broke through 100!

After the Worm entered combat mode, it had to be killed in a short period of time. Otherwise, its agility would increase. There was once a Level 10 A-rank Warrior who managed to drag the Worm’s agility up to more than 700!

Jiang Shuai took a step forward and pressed his hands on the ground. Then, a black energy spread out and dyed the ground black.

When it reached a range of about 10 meters, it stopped spreading. At this time, the worms also came into contact with the black area. In an instant, their agility was reduced to 0!

This was the new skill that Jiang Shuai had learned after reaching Level 3, [Evil Soul Realm]. The first time a unit entered the range of the realm, it would be imprisoned for 5 seconds, but it only had one effect.

Zhang Xuan instantly appeared on top of the nearest Worm’s head. He raised his greatsword and smashed it down. Half of the Worm’s head was flattened, and at the same time, a damage of 700+ popped out!

The Worm that was attacked turned around and stabbed at Zhang Xuan with its sharp mouth. It was so fast that Jiang Shuai couldn’t even see it clearly!
