Chapter 17: Killing the Mother of Worms

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

[HP -38,064]

In the underground space, a terrifying damage figure appeared, and the mountain-like Mother of Worms instantly collapsed.

Two rays of light flashed on Zhang Xuan’s body. He had actually leveled up by two levels!

[Ding! Congratulations on killing Level 15 Berserk Mother of Worms. Obtained 6,000 EXP!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Gaze of the God of Worms: Damage to all insect-type monsters increased by 20%!]

[Congratulations on obtaining Platinum Treasure Chest x5!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the title: Worm Killer]

..

Countless rewards filled Zhang Xuan’s ears. The rich rewards of the Mother of Worms surprised him.

The densely packed Mutated Worms suddenly gave up on attacking Zhang Xuan and quickly entered the pitch-black tunnels.

With the death of the Mother of Worms, the entire nest began to collapse. Then, he received a system notification.

[Please note that you will leave the dungeon in 1 minute. Please hurry up and collect your rewards!]

Zhang Xuan hurriedly put the remaining rewards and materials into his backpack. As the countdown ended, his entire body was enveloped by a beam of light.

On the other side, Tang Zhen was surrounded by the black mist and couldn’t move at all. Although he was also an A-rank class, it was obvious that his class strength wasn’t on the same level as Jiang Shuai’s.

The other teammates didn’t dare to act rashly. Although they were teammates, they didn’t have a good relationship with Tang Zhen. The backbone had always been Xia Jinyao.

At this moment, a white flame landed on Tang Zhen’s body. The black fog was instantly cleared. Tang Zhen, who had removed the control state, immediately retreated to the back of the team.

“Sorry, my teammate said something wrong.”

Jiang Shuai looked at Xia Jinyao unhappily and noticed her occupation. Then, he turned his gaze back to the crack. “No wonder, it’s a dog abusing its power.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen’s entire face turned purple. When had he, a dignified A-rank class, ever suffered such humiliation?

However, he also knew that he could not afford to offend this guy, so he could only stand at the back of the team with a gloomy expression. The Priest in the team began to heal his HP.

But suddenly, two light beams flashed above Jiang Shuai’s head. He had leveled up two levels!

Everyone looked at Jiang Shuai in shock. What was going on?

One had to know that other than teaching Tang Zhen a lesson, Jiang Shuai didn’t even leave the crack, let alone kill monsters.

Then there was only one possibility left. His teammate had killed monsters that could give him a lot of experience elsewhere.

“It’s true… Solo kill the Mother of Worms?”

Xia Jinyao had completely lost control of her expression. Her understanding had been completely overturned. At this moment, she even suspected that there was a bug. Otherwise, how could the Mother of Worms with more than 100,000 HP be soloed?

And by an E-rank Warrior!

Jiang Shuai was also shocked by the large amount of experience he had gained, but after a while, he couldn’t stop smiling!

It could be said that he was the only one among the class holders present who knew that Zhang Xuan was still alive.

Because the two of them were in a team, he could always know Zhang Xuan’s HP status. Although he found it hard to believe that Zhang Xuan was not killed in an instant, it really happened!

From the moment Zhang Xuan killed the Mutated Worm below, he had already received the experience notification. At that time, he was sure that Zhang Xuan was still alive.

This was why he had never left!

As for the two levels that followed, although he did not receive any rewards, he clearly received a kill notification from the Mother of Worms.

He didn’t even see what the Mother of Worms looked like, so the only possibility was Zhang Xuan’s movements!

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the crack. Everyone was attracted by the light. At this moment, the answer was even clearer. This was because only when the dungeon boss was killed would there be such a display.

As the light dissipated, a figure appeared at the edge of the crack. It was Zhang Xuan, who had been dragged underground by the tentacles!

Xia Jinyao’s teammates looked at him like he was a monster. Which class could solo the Mother of Worms?

If this wasn’t cheating, it really wouldn’t make sense!

“F*ck, this big brother really came back alive?”

“Is his combat strength still at E-rank? We’re both Warriors, but I don’t think I’ll be able to solo it even if I’m Level 20!”

“I didn’t think he could do it, but I didn’t expect the clown to be us!”

“What a pity. We originally had the chance to recruit such a powerful big shot.”

Xia Jinyao’s eyes sparkled. She was surprised and delighted.

Zhang Xuan’s performance proved one thing. A low-level class might not be weaker than a high-level class!

If she could confirm that Zhang Xuan had combat strength far beyond that of an S-rank class, she would be able to pull him over to her side and realize her blueprint earlier!

“Hahaha, Brother, you’re really ridiculous. You really killed the Mother of Worms?!”

Jiang Shuai was the first to run up to Zhang Xuan. He couldn’t suppress the joy on his face. Zhang Xuan nodded and took a deep breath of fresh air.

He was finally out.

The difficulty of the Mother of Worms was actually not low, but this was only for other classes. If the Mother of Worms first sent out enough monsters to buff Zhang Xuan, he could definitely kill the Mother of Worms with one slash. Then, he wouldn’t have to fight underground for so long with that disgusting smell!

“You’ve leveled up twice in a row. You’ve exceeded your target today. Let’s go back. I’ll treat you to a big meal today!”

“F*ck, let’s see who dares to say that E-rank Warriors are weak in the future!”

Jiang Shuai spoke as he pulled Zhang Xuan along and prepared to leave, but Xia Jinyao stopped them.

“Excuse me, I want to ask how you defeated the Mother of Worms. Our team will probably attack the Mother of Worms tomorrow, so we want to be prepared in advance.”

Looking at the woman who kept appearing in front of him, Zhang Xuan took out his half-broken sword and handed it to Xia Jinyao.

“You know that I’m an E-rank Warrior. It must have been killed with normal attacks.”

After saying that, Zhang Xuan looked at the arrogant guys from before. They no longer had their previous prestige, and their eyes were filled with panic.

Although his level couldn’t be displayed before he reached Level 10, Zhang Xuan’s performance had already shown his combat strength.

Killing a fierce person who could solo a berserk Mother of Worms would not waste too much energy!

Xia Jinyao sized up the weapon in her hand and was even more surprised.

Previously, she had many guesses. Perhaps Zhang Xuan had received some sort of bonus in his weapon, equipment, or talent, or perhaps he had some sort of buff.

However, it was obvious that this was an ordinary weapon. Through the passive Angel’s Eyes, Zhang Xuan’s equipment was also very ordinary.

The problem should be Zhang Xuan’s passive. After all, E-rank Warriors didn’t even have any skills.

But just as she was about to ask something, Zhang Xuan and Jiang Shuai had already left.
