"Village Chief!" Joseph exclaimed immediately, "The Sword of Kinross is a holy sword passed down by our ancestors. How can we give it to a foreigner?"
"The drought is getting worse. Do you want everyone in the village to die of thirst?" Husma's beard trembled with anger, and then he whispered, "Besides, the Sword of Kinross is incomplete and is completely useless!"
"The village chief is wise!" Joseph immediately flattered him.
Damn, these two guys actually said these words in front of him. Zhang Yang couldn't help but frown.
Husma looked at Zhang Yang and said, "How about this, stranger? As long as you can get us enough water, I will give you the holy sword handed down from ancient times!"
"Ding! Village chief Husma has issued you a mission: Find a water source. Do you accept it?"
In fact, Zhang Yang would accept the quest regardless of whether he was given rewards or not. After all, it would be easier to kill monsters with the guidance of the quest. The key point was that the quest could lead to the boss, without him having to run around aimlessly.
accept.
"Ding! You obtained the item: water container x100."
[Finding a water source] (Mission difficulty: Level)
Mission description: Village chief Husma wants you to find enough clean water to solve the survival problem facing the village! However, this journey is not safe, you have to take care of yourself! According to Husma, there is an unpolluted lake in Lingyan Mountain to the west of the village.
Completion: Retrieve clean water
Mission Reward: Fragment of the Sword of Kinross
[Fragment of Kinross's Sword] (Special Item)
Item description: Reforge the seven fragments of Kinross into a complete Kinross.
The quest doesn't explain what the Sword of Kinross is used for, and it's obviously not a combiner, otherwise it wouldn't be marked as a "special item".
Never mind, just do the task first!
Zhang Yang walked out of the cabin, and in the eyes of Joseph's envy and Husma's surprise, he summoned his phoenix pet and flew away.
He flew straight to the west of the village. Although Husma said it was not far to the west, Zhang Yang still flew for nearly two hours before he saw Lingyan Mountain! No wonder, if it were not so far away, the villagers could have come to get the clean water themselves and would not have bothered him at all.
The mountain is not very big. At the top of the mountain is a ten-meter-square pond with clear water that ripples in the breeze.
Zhang Yang lowered the Fire Phoenix and came to the shore, but before he could take out the container to get water, he saw dozens of black buffaloes with a green mark on their backs rushing out from somewhere, forming a double team around Zhang Yang, each of them digging their hooves, and dark flames spurting out of their nostrils!
[Death Bull](Elite. Beast)
Level: 185
HP: 9.25 million
Armor value: 11570
Melee attack power: 81566-121566
Skill:
[Brutal Charge]: Hit the target at high speed. The target will fall into a coma for 3 seconds and receive 50,000 points of physical damage. Range: 3-10 meters.
[Death Fire]: Breathes the flames of death, causing the target to lose 10% of its health, but not more than 100,000. Range: 30 meters. Cooldown: 30 seconds. If the target is not in melee range, the Death Fire cooldown will be extended.
Note: Although the Death Bulls are not the most powerful creatures in the Marin Salt Land, they come in groups. They are enough to scare away any creature! Never try to provoke a group of Death Bulls, that means you are dead!
"Moo!" A wild bull roared loudly. The attack horn was blown, and dozens of wild bulls rushed towards Zhang Yang with their sharp horns.
So many monsters!
Moreover, Zhang Yang couldn't take off, because as soon as he took off, he would be bombarded by the fire of death! Dozens of monsters fired a volley of fire of death, which would directly deduct millions of HP. Even if he opened the shield wall, it would still take seconds!
Obviously, in order to collect water, these monsters must be killed first, so it is useless for Zhang Yang to run far away, he will have to fight sooner or later!
In that case, Phoenix Transformation begins!
The Fire Phoenix let out a long cry, and its body suddenly swelled up a lot. Its purple-red feathers were filled with dazzling divine light, and it looked majestic and awe-inspiring!
The 177-level Phoenix pet has 1,278,060 basic health points. With the support of the physical aura and Phoenix Transformation, the upper limit of health points is 36 million! This number can even be compared to Han Yingxue's similar transformation state. You must know that Han Yingxue is an S-level inheritance, which is enough to prove the importance of equipment!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another, the barbaric bulls rushed up, not only causing heavy damage to Zhang Yang, but also frequently knocking him into a 3-second coma! However, Zhang Yang did not use Warrior's Rage to resolve it immediately, but waited until all the monsters were close to him, so as not to be controlled one after another.
Fire of death!
These barbaric bulls frequently spewed black flames at Zhang Yang, and each time they directly deducted 100,000 health points from Zhang Yang! Skills that directly deduct health points are the same as forbidden scrolls, and will not be affected by any defense reduction, and will have an enemy-based effect!
When the last wild bull approached, Zhang Yang activated the Warrior's Rage to remove the coma, and with a swipe of the Death Scythe, after harvesting the first drop of blood from a wild bull, he immediately swung a sweep! Because the Phoenix Pet was large enough, these wild bulls could attack at the same time, which also meant that they would all suffer damage from the sweep at the same time.
-389923!
-402344!
-873322!
… [
Dozens of damage numbers jumped up at the same time. Without a critical hit, the damage was at least 380,000, and after a critical hit, it could even reach the highest firepower of 900,000! Although the sweep did not have the characteristics of a penetrating attack, it caused horrible damage in front of a monster with a completely scattered formation!
A sweep that occurs every 10 seconds, once fully deployed, its ability to deal group damage is definitely greater than all other skills - mainly because the cooldown time is too short!
Even a Barbarian Bull with nearly 10 million HP could not withstand such violent damage. It roared angrily and poked the Phoenix Pet with its horns!
Because he needed the support of his mount to increase his upper limit of health, Zhang Yang didn't dare to jump off his mount, so the only group damage skills he could use were Oscillation Wave and Sweep. Thunder Strike required him to leave his mount to use it, causing him to fall into a brief damage trough after the Sweep.
In fact, his single-target damage is still terrifying, but it is far from the damage of the large area of sweep! After all, the sweep itself is also a powerful single-target output skill.
9 seconds later, Zhang Yang launched a charged attack.
Swing in the air!
Sweep!
-1150928!
-1352928!
-1286720!
…
This time the sweep is even more terrifying. With the support of the charged attack, not only will all attacks be critical hits, but the damage will also be increased by 50%!
If any player saw Zhang Yang's performance at this moment, they would definitely hold their heads and scream in disbelief, unable to believe their eyes! Each hit of a group attack was worth millions, what kind of concept is this? Even if they had opened the inheritance transformation, at least 99% of the players would never be able to do it!
In fact, group damage is not the biggest enhancement for players who have inherited the transformation! Just like Zhang Yang's War God Transformation, strictly speaking, only the War God Strike is a professional oe skill, and the damage is no more than 10 times the strength. Without the support of the brute force aura, it can only cause 190,000 single damage, which is only half of the basic attack power of the sweep!
However, considering that Ares Strike has a coverage area of up to 50 meters in radius and is not affected by obstacles, the more monsters there are, the more powerful this skill will be. When the number of monsters reaches a certain scale, this skill will leave Sweep far behind!
Because the Phoenix Pet was too big, the bulls were very loose, and the flames of the Phoenix Pet were a cone-shaped fire wave, which could only increase the attack surface as it moved its head. Therefore, at most only one-sixth of the bulls would be hit by the Phoenix Pet's flame spray.
But after the Phoenix Transformation was activated, the damage of the Phoenix Pet almost doubled, and 300,000 damage was equivalent to a sweeping attack every time, which made the health of the Barbarian Bulls drop sharply! Coupled with Fei Ling's firepower, monsters began to die soon.
This is natural. Zhang Yang has already transformed into a phoenix. It would be strange if he still cannot be defeated easily.
Snapped!
As the last bull fell, the battle was finally over. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang was not a skinner, otherwise the skins of these bulls would be extremely valuable!
What a shame to waste!
Zhang Yang shook his head, took out a water bottle from his backpack, and started drinking it in the pool.
As each container was filled, the completion rate of the task increased little by little. When all 100 water bottles were filled, he had completed the task.
The transformation of the Phoenix pet can last for a long time, so this time cannot be wasted. Zhang Yang swept around and cleared all the monsters he saw along the way. Then he returned to the original village and delivered the task to Husma.
When everyone in the village saw Zhang Yang taking out the full water bottles, they cheered excitedly and treated him like a hero. The hunting team had returned, and a bonfire was lit in the village, and a huge elephant-trunk pig was set up. The tempting aroma spread throughout the forest.
Zhang Yang took out the fragment of the Sword of Kinross that he had just obtained. This was only a small part of the entire sword. It was impossible to know what this thing was used for before it was recast. It was neither a weapon nor could it start a mission. I really didn't know what it was used for!
Forget it, just put it aside for now.
Zhang Yang sat next to Husma, eating barbecue, and asked, "Since life here is so difficult, why don't you consider leaving here?"
"It's easier said than done!" Husma shook his head and said, "Firstly, our ancestors have lived here for generations, and few people are willing to move away. Secondly, it is very dangerous once we enter the salt crystal land! We moved once more than 20 years ago, but we lost a quarter of the villagers after only walking one-third of the distance, and they were all adult men! If we continue to move forward, we will be wiped out, so we came back!" (To be continued)
