Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 73 The Demonized Bronze Artifact
It was this mark that reminded Ling Chuan of the past, of that epic battle that shook the entire Divine Revelation Continent—[Heroic Anthem].

It was at this moment that he understood. He finally understood the truth behind the disappearance of Village 94525 and the reason why the Demon God Betty descended upon Water God County.

There was nothing wrong with Arnold's letter of aid, nor with Arnold's caravan. The problem lay with the goods he had bribed. If he wasn't mistaken, the goods being transported by the caravan contained the sealed artifacts of [Demon God Betty], the supreme and hostile authority of the Divine Revelation Continent.

Betty, the thirteenth temple master of the Demon God Temple, has blood-red wings and purple eyes. She is incomparably beautiful and possesses a powerful ability to bewitch people and twist their minds.

The seventh-tier merchant caravan, intending to take the main city road, inexplicably stumbled into the newbie village and was then inexplicably besieged by lightning bears. Suppressed by the system's main core, their guards' strength was rendered ineffective, forcing them into a desperate situation. With so many demonized bears, Arnold and the three clerks would have had no chance of escaping unless deliberately targeted. Their escape was a calculated move to exploit the human element, making the four constantly try to send distress signals back to the newbie village. One such signal was to discover Arnold's presence, triggering a message-sending quest. And all of this was within Betty's control!
Once the player accepts the quest and delivers the letter back to the starting village, the village chief will inevitably summon all the village guards for support; at this moment, Betty shifts her target and controls the guards who are out of the starting village... the result is that she controls the strongest force in the entire starting village.

Due to the limitations of the system's main core, outsiders cannot enter the newbie village, but the guards of the newbie village can come and go freely. If this controlled force is sent back to the newbie village and ordered to destroy all living beings and destroy the newbie village's hub, then destroying a newbie village would be a piece of cake. This is the truth behind the disappearance of village 94525, and this is the profound meaning behind the rescue letter being marked as SSS+ difficulty.

As for why Betty did this, and what she gained from the destruction of Village 94525, no one knows. However, Betty did not end her plan after destroying the starting village; she still followed the Arnold merchant caravan back to Water God County and lurked in the human capital city.

No one knew what she was doing in secret, and no one noticed her existence. It wasn't until chaos suddenly broke out within Water God County, with high-level monsters launching a massive siege and triggering the main campaign "Battle of Water God County," that Betty appeared in the public eye as the Princess of Water God County. She severely injured the guardian deity of Water God County, reverted to her demonic form, and commanded the high-level monsters gathered below the city to launch a full-scale attack, bringing the first nightmare in the history of the Divine Revelation to millions of players.

Although the monster siege ended in failure, with the demon goddess Betty barely escaping, the guardian deity who protected the Water God County paid the ultimate price. The "Heroic Song" speaks of her, and it was she who transformed Ling Chuan from a cold conqueror into someone fully immersed in the Divine Revelation Continent. Therefore…

"Xiao Chuan, shall we fight?"

Seeing that Ling Chuan remained silent, Yi Han tentatively spoke.

"Of course we'll fight."

Having sorted out his thoughts and reflecting on the past, Ling Chuan returned to his senses and responded. However, even he did not realize that his three words to Yi Han contained an undisguised anger.

"There are eighty deeply corrupted Lightning Bears in total. We'll take them down one by one. Using the old method, I'll make the first move, and when it's about to get close to me..."

"Just hold him back. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Ling Chuan smiled, flashed forward, and raised the Earth Rock Crossbow high. He had told himself that he would never let history repeat itself in this life! He would perfectly complete this mission, so perfectly that there would be no room for doubt!
Divine flames linger, mother and child haunt each other!
boom!-
650
Its defense is indeed far superior to that of ordinary Lightning Bears. Without any weak point attacks, the single-target Mother-Child Soul Chaser only dealt 650 damage.

Roar!
The demonized lightning bear rose up and roared, its black eyes filled with bloodlust. It stomped its four paws and charged forward, riding on crimson lightning!
boom!-
1000!

The second Soul-Chasing Shot was fired, striking the Demonic Lightning Bear's right eye at the same time the Demonic Lightning Bear raised its giant blood-red lightning paw!
Its resilience was astonishing; the ever-victorious Mother-Child Soul Chasing Technique failed to render it even slightly stiff. Just as the giant paw was about to strike, a red thread pulled onto the demonized bear.

"Taunt!" At the critical moment, Yi Han unleashed his taunt skill, forcibly shifting the aggro target, and his giant blood thunder palm slammed heavily onto the thorn shield!

Bang! !

The immense pressure caused Yi Han to kneel on the ground, unable to move, and a damage of -140 appeared above his head.

Reaching level 15 and donning new equipment, his defense increased by another level. The damage he received was negligible, though the stiffness was a bit annoying. Unfortunately, the demonic bear didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. Less than half a second after the last attack, its other giant paw, crackling with crimson lightning, struck down a second time!
Bang! !
-
290!

Purple number! Critical hit!

After two attacks, Yi Han's health bar dropped by a third, and the stun duration was also refreshed.

brush!
As the shield bloomed and the Holy Hand Gentle Breeze channeled it simultaneously, Ling Feixue's powerful healing effect brought Yi Han's health back to full!
boom!-
1000!

The mother and child pursued the left eye, and Yi Han, who had just recovered from the stun, thrust his spear forward, piercing the demonized bear's mouth and dealing 200 points of weakness damage.

Ling Chuan quickly countered with a normal attack, taking away the last bit of health from the demonized bear.

Battle notification: Successfully defeated the [Deeply Demonized Lightning Bear], gaining 910 experience points. Since you defeated the target 3 levels higher, you will receive an additional 20% experience bonus, for a total of 1170 experience points.

Battle Reminder: [Michael] gained 1300 experience points from [Deeply Enchanted Lightning Bear], and the hatching progress is 125300/500000.

His experience gain was astounding. Before killing the Demonized Lightning Bear, his experience was already at level 16 with 66% experience. After killing it, it jumped directly to 69%. With a 3% experience gain per bear, combined with the remaining number of demonic bears, he felt that he had a chance to reach level 18 after eliminating all the demonic bears. As for Ling Feixue and Yi Han, they should be quite close to level 17.

Having made up his mind, Ling Chuan summoned Da Hei and began the attack on the second demonized bear. With the help of the Earth Rock Spear, and with the cooperation of Da Hei and Ling Chuan, ten demonized bears vanished in the blink of an eye. When the eleventh demonized bear died, a blue ball of light rolled out with a tinkling sound. Ling Chuan picked it up and found it to be fluffy and very warm. Could it be a cloth armor?

Special effects equipment? Bronze-level special effects equipment? This is unbelievable!
It's important to understand that equipment in the game has specific bonus rules. For example, Black Iron equipment only provides one basic bonus, such as defense, attack speed, and movement speed; Bronze equipment adds one more of the four basic attributes, such as strength and intelligence; and only Radiant Silver equipment adds a percentage bonus to one of the four basic attributes, such as +3% defense and +3% attack speed. In other words, this demonized Bronze equipment already possesses the same strength as Radiant Silver equipment!
An unexpected delight! Ling Chuan held the demonic bear leather boots in his hands, then looked at the remaining demonic bears. His eyes no longer reflected the ferocious, terrifying behemoths, but rather a collection of walking, gleaming silver artifacts…
