The Silver Elite monster was so powerful that Leng Yun almost died, and Fatty, Sun Bing, and Chen Ling were also seriously injured.
The fat man had just recovered a little from his injuries, and he immediately shouted: "What the hell, why do you always get bruises all over your body every time you encounter a powerful monster!"
Zhang Mu said: "Let's have some fun before we die."
Sun Bing walked over, picked up the shield that had split into two pieces, and tried to put it together, but to no avail. The shield had no attributes and was completely reduced to two pieces of scrap metal.
This battle caused a certain amount of equipment loss. Equipment has a durability limit. As the durability decreases, the properties of the equipment will be affected. When the durability reaches 0, the equipment is completely scrapped.
It is impossible to repair Sun Bing's shield. Fatty's leather armor has very little durability left after this battle, and its attributes have been reduced by nearly half. It is estimated that after two more battles, it will end its life. With such frequent fighting, the equipment wears out too quickly and there is no place to repair it. A piece of equipment will be damaged within a few days.
Zhang Mu stood up and said, "Let's see what the monster exploded."
After the Iron Skeleton dies, it drops three pieces of loot, all of which are equipment.
[Fine scale armor] (fine black iron), level 5 armor, physical defense +15, magic defense +6, life +20, durability 40.
[Skull Helmet] (fine black iron), level 5 helmet, physical defense +5, magic defense +3, strength +3, durability 30.
[Blood Hatchet] (fine black iron), level 5 one-handed axe, attack +15, strength +4, ignores 10% of the target's defense, durability 30.
The sophisticated black iron equipment is the top equipment at this stage. The harvest this time is good, but there are no skill books or special items dropped, which is a bit regretful. Iron Skeleton can say at least five skills, and even if it drops one, it will be a huge gain for the team.
Regret is regret, no one can change it.
These three pieces of equipment did not disappoint, especially [Fine Scale Armor], which actually increased physical defense by 15 points. This number was not low. Originally, it had to withstand 30 points of physical damage. After wearing this armor, it only had to bear 15 points of damage. This is a set of scale armor, but its defense is almost as good as Sun Bing's plate armor, not to mention it has a health bonus of up to 20 points. At this stage, if the player owns this armor, his survivability will be greatly increased.
However, scale armor is restricted to professions, and legal professions cannot use it. Some physical attack professions, such as thieves, assassins, shooters and other leather armor professions, cannot also use it.
Zhang Mu put on fine scale armor. The armor was very delicate in workmanship. The inner layer was made of leather, so it would not feel uncomfortable when worn on the body. The outer layer was covered with delicate flaky armor leaves, which had strong protective capabilities. Zhang Mu is not a tall man, but after putting on the armor, he looks more majestic and has the demeanor of an ancient general.
Leng Yun's bright eyes were filled with brilliance. When she stared into the deep yet bright eyes, she felt that her mind was also sinking. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and smiled.
Zhang Mu looked over strangely: "Why are you laughing?"
Leng Yun's face turned red and she said, "No... nothing, I just think Captain Mu should change his pants?"
Zhang Mu found a pair of wear-resistant jeans in front of the forest, but they were in tatters. There were numerous rips in the front and back, one of which was close to the inner thigh, and the underwear was vaguely visible. His upper body was dressed in majestic armor, but his lower body was in torn trousers that even beggars would disdain. This combination was really shocking.
The fat man burst out laughing when he saw this: "Boss, you look really funny!"
Zhang Mu glanced at him and said angrily: "You'd better find a way to cover your butt."
The fat man touched his butt, and there was indeed a big hole in his pants, "It's just a small hole."
Zhang Mu said calmly: "There is something called a leech in the jungle, commonly known as a leech. It likes to crawl into cracks. During the Vietnam War, when an American soldier was living in the jungle of Vietnam, a leech crawled out of his penis. It went in, then went into the bladder, and was finally taken out after surgery. I think the leech will like your big fat ass very much."
"Is it that scary?!" The fat man suddenly felt his anus tighten and his butt feel chilly. "Boss, don't scare me."
Leng Yun chuckled and said, "I can testify that this is true."
Seeing the fat man's embarrassment, several people laughed, and the tense atmosphere left by the battle disappeared.
Zhang Mu took another look at Leng Yun.
She was a taciturn and silent woman, but suddenly she talked a lot, as if she was a different person.
Zhang Mu is a level 6 ranger with a basic life of 70 points. Now equipped with [Jungle Cloak] +10 points and [Fine Scale Armor] +20 points, the total life has exceeded 100 points. Of course, it is incomparable with Sun Bing. As Sun Bing, The basic life of a level 6 knight reaches 105 points. No one except Sun Bing can compare with Zhang Mu in terms of life.
The bearskin armor has more than half of its durability left and its attributes have not lost much, so it was given to Chen Ling for continued use.
Skull helmets have good attributes, and because they increase strength, they are reserved for fat people.
The skull helmet looks very ferocious, with a few spikes on the top. The fat man puts on the skull helmet, covering his bald head and adding an ugly fat face, making the whole person look much more sinister.
As for the one-handed axe, only Fatty and Zhang Mu can equip it. Fatty likes to use two-handed weapons and does not like to dual-wield short axes, not to mention the [Jungle Blade]'s higher attack.
Zhang Mu thought again and again, replaced the recently used [Skeleton Soldier's Sword], and installed an axe. He held the ax in his left hand and the sword in his right hand. The attack points of the left hand were 16 points, the attack points of the right hand were 18 points, and the Wind Slash Ring added 8 points. With the 4-point bonus of the Bone Necklace, the left-hand attack reaches 27 points, and the right-hand attack reaches 30 points. The current strength value is 16, because the short ax +4 points of strength, the current strength is 20, and Zhang Mu can perform 50 points with a single attack. Attack power above 1 point.
Most of the black iron elite monsters at level 5 and 6 have a defense between 10 and 20. In other words, Zhang Mu's attack on them can generally cause 30-40 points of damage. This is just a rough calculation. The actual situation will be affected by the specific physical defense of the monster, as well as the strength and the location of the hit.
Next, it’s the treasure chest’s turn!
Five people gathered in front of the black iron treasure box. Compared with the treasure boxes encountered in Jiangcheng, this box was at least two or three times larger in size. The surface decoration was detailed and very luxurious. It must be a very high-end box. The probability of finding good equipment and skill books in this [Luxury Black Iron Treasure Chest] is several times that of an ordinary Black Iron Treasure Chest.
The fat man asked: "Boss, do you want to open it?"
Zhang Mu nodded: "Nonsense, open it."
The fat man rubbed his hands vigorously, silently chanting the blessings of the Buddha in his heart, and pressed the button to open the treasure box. The lid of the treasure box suddenly popped open, and the light inside the box was so bright that it was difficult to see what was inside. The fat man reached in and groped around, and took out a bunch of potions, including life potions and magic potions.
[Medium-grade vial of life potion]
[Medium-grade small magic potion] × 4, wonderfully restores 5 points of magic value, lasting ten seconds.
50 gold coins.
Treasure chests in the wild will basically contain potions and gold coins, there is nothing surprising about them.
Zhang Mu asked: "Is there anything else?"
The fat man took out the contents of the treasure box one by one. There were four items in total, including a staff, a pair of pants, two scrolls, and a skill book.
[Skeleton Staff] (Excellent Black Iron), level 5 long staff, spell attack +25, spirit +5, 5% chance of summoning an ordinary skeleton soldier when casting, durability 40.
[Iron Armor Pants] (fine black iron), level 5 lower body armor, physical defense +8, magic defense +5, constitution +2, durability 30.
[Scroll of the Skeleton Captain], an F+ level magic scroll, consumes 30 magic points, summons the Skeleton Captain to assist in the battle, up to three times, each time lasting 30 minutes, with a 60-minute cooling time.
[Skill Upgrade Scroll LV1], a scroll used to upgrade LV1 skills.
[Life Skill Book: Cooking], obtain the life skill of cooking, no learning conditions, no occupation restrictions.
This skeleton staff is a black iron weapon of excellent quality. Only gold-level elite monsters will drop this black iron weapon of outstanding quality! The magic attack of this staff has been increased by 25 points. This is a very high value, because the mage skill has a long cooldown time and the damage ratio is particularly high. With this staff, every attack of Leng Yun can increase Nearly 20 points of damage! The elementalist's output is already very high, so he has become a powerful main force.
"Excellent equipment!" The fat man was very jealous and almost went crazy. "Damn it, why can't I use it?"
Leng Yun ignored the jealous and envious fat man and happily put on the skull staff.
The armored trousers are plate armor and can only be used by Sun Bing. Zhang Mu gave it to him along with the skill upgrade scroll. Because Leng Yun's output ability has been enhanced, it is not easy to hold the monster with LV1's taunt, so it is necessary to upgrade the taunt to LV2.
As for the summoning scroll, it is a very practical thing. Captain Skeleton is a bronze elite, but his combat power is not weak. The scroll can provide three summons, which will play a big role in critical moments.
[Skill Book: Cooking] was originally intended to be given to Sun Bing, but Sun Bing got two pieces of equipment and was too embarrassed to accept it.
Zhang Mu might as well learn it himself.
This kind of life skill is the same for everyone.
[Entry-level cooking], initially master the skills of magic cooking, obtain cooking skills, consume 1 point of magic, and perform magic processing on ingredients once, with a proficiency of 0/3000.
The improvement of life skills is different from combat skills. Life skills require high enough proficiency to enter the next level. Proficiency will grow through continuous use of life skills. This speed is related to understanding. You can become a master of life occupations without hard work. In any life occupation, talent and understanding are very important.
Chen Ling was very curious: "Isn't cooking just cooking? This also needs to be learned through skill books?"
"It's different. Cooking is a kind of magic." Zhang Mu said, "Go and collect some firewood, and I will demonstrate cooking to you."
Several people were very curious about cooking and what it was. Everyone went outside the cave to collect some firewood and lit a bonfire in the cave. Zhang Mu asked the fat man to put an egg into the fire and grill it. When Zhang Mu felt that the egg was almost done, he suddenly used a cooking technique on the egg.
The baked egg in the flame shimmered, and then dimmed quickly. When the fat man took the baked egg out, he couldn't help but be surprised, because the properties of the baked egg had changed a lot.
[Delicious baked eggs], F+ grade food, baked eggs processed with magic, have stronger effects, health +25, maximum health +10, duration 45 minutes, increase cannot be superimposed.
The fat man looked shocked: "Is this okay?"
Zhang Mu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's good. To achieve attainments in life skills, you not only need to meet the proficiency and life skills scrolls, but also need to have a deep understanding of the field. You will have to study cooking skills in the future. !”
Life skills mainly include: cooking, enchanting, forging, tailoring, alchemy, medicine refining, alchemy, etc.
Compared with other living resources, the price of food ingredients is the cheapest. Compared with other life skills, cooking is also the most widely used.
I have to say more. The baked eggs made by cooking techniques are even more delicious. They are really unique in the world. The egg white is as tender as tofu, and the yolk is slightly raw and creamy. It tastes great and delicious. If you don’t eat it with your own mouth, you would never dare to eat it. I believe that an ordinary egg can be so delicious.
Zhang Mu's approach was very wise. There were a lot of raw eggs left in the hands of several people. Now with the assistance of cooking skills, even the simplest techniques can make higher quality food.
After several people ate baked eggs, their injuries were almost recovered.
The Skull Cave has benefited the team a lot, but it's time to leave.
