Chapter 14: Fill in the Shorts

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Usually, only Level 3 Worms existed in the Land of Worms.

However, if they killed 30 Level 3 Worms in five minutes, hidden monsters would appear and attract a large number of Level 4 Mutated Worms!

Killing 30 Level 3 monsters in five minutes was a very harsh condition. Xia Jinyao’s team could only kill five monsters at most.

“Could it be a team with all S-rank classes?”

However, there were only four S-rank players in the entire Northern Spiritual City. Excluding her, the remaining three S-rank players would not be able to do it even if they formed a team!

However, when she thought of this, the terrifying scene from yesterday appeared in Xia Jinyao’s mind again. Even now, she still felt like she was dreaming. The combat power of that E-rank Warrior was too terrifying to be real.

However, if it was really him, perhaps this would not be a problem.

However, this was only a guess. She could only wait until her mana was restored before she figured out the exact situation. Although the Angel’s Eyes did not consume mana, the effect of the Angel’s Eyes could not be activated when her mana was below 50%.

On the other side, Zhang Xuan was standing among the countless corpses of the monsters. Suddenly, a perverted smile appeared on his face, which shocked Jiang Shuai.

“F*ck, Brother, can you not be so scary? I didn’t see your brain being hurt!”

“It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something happy.”

He was more than happy!

After Zhang Xuan chose the first passive, he chose the second hidden reward. It really allowed him to get the passive that he had reluctantly abandoned before!

[Please choose an unlocked passive as a reward.]

[A. Heavy Strike (E-rank): Normal attacks have a 1% chance of causing AoE damage.]

[B. Mana Regeneration (E-rank): Obtain 0.5/s mana regeneration effect.]

[C. Weapon Enhancement (E-rank): Damage dealt by bound weapons increased by 0.5%]

There was no room for thought at all. He decisively took option A as a reward!

[Acquired Passive: Heavy Strike (E-rank)]

[Heavy Strike (E-rank) upgraded to SSS-rank passive!]

Zhang Xuan was about to laugh when he saw the effects of the two new passive skills.

This system was simply true love. Whatever he lacked, the system would strengthen it for him!

[Passive: Warrior’s Magic Armor (SSS-rank): Skills will deal 1 damage to you, 3/3 effective times, 1 replenishment after every normal attack.]

[Passive: Battlefield Sweep (SSS-rank): Your normal attack range increases by 300%. Every normal attack deals 120% damage to units within 5 meters of the target.]

These two passive effects were equivalent to turning Zhang Xuan into a god of war. Although he was also invincible before, it was only limited to monsters without skills.

After all, his own stats window was there. A monster’s skill could deal fatal damage. Now, it was completely different!

Moreover, he had also obtained a large-scale AoE attack. Wasn’t that like cutting wheat with a sickle?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuanlian couldn’t suppress his smile anymore. He turned to Jiang Shuai excitedly, “Do you have any information about the Mother of Worms?”

Seeing Zhang Xuan’s expression, Jiang Shuai took two steps back and said with a meaningful expression, “Brother, is your orientation a little abnormal? I think as humans, we shouldn’t at least treat a bug… Do you understand?”

“Do you think I’m a natural-born poodle like you? I want to kill it!”

“No way. It’s possible before you trigger the Level 4 Mutated Worms. When a Level 4 Mutated Worm appears, the Mother of Worms will enter a berserk state. At our level, we’ll die if we’re touched,”Jiang Shuai said helplessly but he realized that Zhang Xuan was staring at him.

“Alright, alright! However, let’s agree that I won’t go in with you to die. I really don’t know what medicine you’ve taken!”

The Mother of Worms dungeon was located in a crack, which was the place that Xia Jinyao and the others had seen before.

However, the crack had changed greatly. Not only were there Level 4 Mutated Worms guarding it, but there were also a few long tentacles extending from the hole.

This was the lowest-level boss dungeon, but the Mother of Worms was Level 10. According to Jiang Shuai, the current Mother of Worms was Level 15.

“Brother, I admit that you are invincible, okay? Can we at least level up to Level 10 before going? This thing is really not something we can afford to provoke!”

Zhang Xuan didn’t care about it. He had already walked toward the entrance. Jiang Shuai was so anxious that he wanted to curse but he didn’t dare to go out now. Those tentacles would pull people in!

A few Level 4 Mutated Worms discovered Zhang Xuan and quickly approached him. Zhang Xuan held his greatsword and took a deep breath.

Grandpa is here to harvest the wheat!

Due to the terrain, the few Level 4 Mutated Worms quickly gathered together. This was exactly what Zhang Xuan wanted.

As the Mutated Worms approached, Zhang Xuan immediately locked onto one of them and took the initiative to meet it!

[HP -508]

The first slash landed on the Mutated Worm at the front. Due to the existence of its shell and the fact that the passive effect had not stacked, this attack only caused 500+ damage.

Miss!

The Mutated Worm’s mouthpart attack missed, and the other Mutated Worms were also very close. Zhang Xuan raised his greatsword and attacked again.

[HP -1,024]

The second slash dealt 1,000 damage, but the Mutated Worm still did not die. At this moment, the other Mutated Worms also attacked Zhang Xuan, but unfortunately, these were all meaningless damage!

At this moment, there were already five or six Mutated Worms within five meters. They spat out their sharp mouthparts at the same time, but without exception, they all missed!

At this moment, Zhang Xuan raised his greatsword and smashed it down fiercely!

“This blade will send you to your deaths!”

[HP -1,550]

This strike took away the Mutated Worm that had been slashed three times, but a few dull sounds rang out in succession.

[HP -1,780]

[HP -1,780]

[HP -1780]

The other Mutated Worms within a five-meter radius instantly exploded into pieces of meat. The damage caused by the slash directly exceeded their maximum HP!

“What the f*ck? Why did this monster self-destruct?”

After receiving five experience notifications, Jiang Shuai felt numb. He had personally seen the Level 4 Mutated Worms that were full of health suddenly suffer some inexplicable fatal damage.

Beside the huge rock on the other side of the entrance, Xia Jinyao’s teammates were so shocked that their mouths were wide open.

They were also confused. What the h*ll was this E-rank Warrior?

“Each of his attacks dealt 500 more damage than the previous one. What kind of heaven-defying existence is this? It seems like a Pugilist’s Infinite Combo can only stack 300 damage each time, right?”

“But Pugilists are Rank 3!”

“I want to know how the monsters around him exploded. He received over 1,700 damage for no reason. Isn’t this too strange?”

Xia Jinyao’s eyes flickered. After witnessing Zhang Xuan’s stacked damage, she seemed to understand immediately.

“This person’s class is very bad, but his combat strength is stronger than mine, an S-rank!”
