Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 378 Xiao Hei's New Growth
Before stealing, Su Ming had to wait for Xiao Hei to recover from the state of swallowing the equipment.

This time, Xiao Hei took a long time to devour. Su Ming calculated the time and found that it was more than 40 minutes. In the past, it only took half an hour to finish.

Another 5 minutes passed and Su Ming finally received a system prompt.

System: Your pet Xiao Hei has devoured an epic equipment, increasing attack damage by 5%, maximum movement speed by 10%, attack speed by 10%, and reducing damage taken by 5%. The "Suit Link" has been successfully parsed, and the "Sand of Time" suit effect has been unlocked.

"After Xiao Hei devoured the epic suit, he was able to unlock the suit's effects?" Su Ming was stunned. Epic equipment was rare, and epic suits were even rarer, so Su Ming had never thought that Xiao Hei had this ability before.

But think about it, since Xiao Hei started devouring silver equipment, each level of equipment has come with a special ability. It doesn't make sense that this special ability would disappear when it comes to epic equipment.

“To unlock the set effect, I won’t have to use up the same epic set, right?” Su Ming was a little worried. If that was the case, it would be a bit of a scam.

With trepidation, he opened Xiao Hei's attribute panel to check the effects of the newly acquired suit.

Sands of Time (5/6)

(2): When causing damage, there is a 20% chance to heal yourself for 2% of your maximum health. After healing, randomly reduce the cooldown of a skill by 1 second. (Activated)
(4): Viscous liquid and projectile skill damage increased by 20%. (Activated)
(6): -25% skill cooldown, +20% all skill damage. (Not activated)
After reading it, Su Ming felt relieved. As long as Xiao Hei swallowed one item in the suit, the rest, even those outside the suit, could be activated.

Moreover, some set effects that are useless to Xiao Hei will be directly adapted to suit Xiao Hei. For example, the effect of the (4) set was originally to increase the skill damage of "Rogue LV1~LV20" by 20%. For Xiao Hei, it was adapted to become viscous liquid and ricochet skills.

Su Ming thought that if Xiao Hei could activate the effects of seven or eight sets of epic equipment in the future, he might really be invincible. However, the sets were not so easy to find.

Su Ming couldn't help thinking:

"Should I give the 'Guino' suit to Xiao Hei before he breaks through level 45 and activate the suit's effects first..."

All of Xiao Hei's skills are magic damage, and the magic burst damage attribute of the Guino suit is very suitable for Xiao Hei.

However, Su Ming thought about it and suppressed the idea.

Many bosses have hidden settings that reduce the critical hit rate. Even if the critical hit rate is stacked to 100%, it is not necessarily possible to hit every time you hit the enemy, not to mention that it is only 20%. Therefore, "Guino" only has one attribute, but it takes 3 epic equipment to activate it, which seems a bit uneconomical.

It will take some time to reach level 45, so Su Ming plans to wait and see if there is a chance to find an epic set that is more suitable for Xiao Hei.

While Xiao Hei was digesting just now, Su Ming figured out the walking pattern of the two jailers.

The patrol range of the two monsters is only 15 yards near the cave entrance. They stay at the cave entrance in a daze most of the time, standing up and changing positions every 5 minutes. During this time, they will be back to back for 5 seconds, forming a blind spot. Su Ming only needs to seize those 5 seconds and rush into the cave.

Su Ming told Finley the plan and asked Finley what he was going to do about it.

Finley said not to worry about it, it could find a way to get in by itself. As soon as he finished speaking, it disappeared inexplicably with Moo.

Su Ming saw a piece of soil moving on the ground and approaching the cave quietly. He guessed it was Finley.

So, Su Ming used the flute to cancel the summons of the pets. Seeing that the two jailers were about to exchange positions, he drank the only bottle of special ghost stealth potion and quickly came to the middle position between the two jailers.

He took light steps, avoiding some rocks at the entrance of the cave without making any sound, and successfully avoided the two demon jailers.

A piece of mud crawled onto Su Ming's toes. Su Ming knew that it was Finley, so he did not stop and continued to walk inside.

Things went better than he expected.

The cave was pitch black, but Su Ming had just obtained the "Night Gargoyle Wings", which increased his night vision distance by 30 yards, so he could see the situation in the cave clearly even without lighting a torch.

On both sides of the cave, there is a series of cells, which hold half-dead monsters. They have one thing in common, that is, half of their souls have been sucked out of their bodies.

Su Ming thought of the "prison key" dropped by the big guy before, and thought that it might be used here.

Seeing that he had walked quite far, he stopped, took out his key, and compared it with the locks of the cells. He could open roughly one-third of the doors.

Perhaps because he leaned too close for too long, Su Ming was discovered by a monster. It was a skinny woman, but her soul after being extracted made her look extremely fat, with a waist circumference of more than 4 meters.

The fat soul dragged her slender body, she grabbed Su Ming's hand and begged:

"Oh my god, you still have the key with you. Kind listener, please save me. I have been locked up here by the damn captain and have not eaten anything for five years."

System: You have triggered the dungeon quest "Prisoner's Request".

Prisoner's Request: In the ghost pirate ship, Mana built a cell specifically for imprisoning thieves and placing toys. Due to her fickle personality, many prisoners here have been forgotten by Mana.

The key in your hand has attracted the attention of a prisoner, who asks you to release it. After releasing it, you may gain their gratitude, or you may attract Mana's attention in advance.

In this dungeon, there is a chance that a key will drop when you kill monsters. Bringing the key here will trigger the quest.

If you are unlucky and the monsters don't drop any keys, it doesn't matter. As long as you kill the two demon jailers at the door, they will definitely drop two keys, and you can open two cells to try your luck.

As players play more dungeons, they will find that most of the cells are scams, and only a few NPCs will have rewards. This requires players to play dungeons again and again to sort out the NPCs that have rewards.

Su Ming didn't know about this feature, so he thought he had triggered a difficult task, so he asked the NPC in front of him:
"Why were you imprisoned?"

If she was imprisoned for doing something bad, Su Ming would not let her out.

The fat soul cried:

"I was originally Mana's cook. One time, after helping her make pastries, I secretly tasted a bite. Mana found out and locked me up! This little devil deserves to be cut into pieces!"

The fat soul pulled up her body, which was as thin as a bamboo pole, and showed Su Ming the whip marks on it. She shook her body and shouted:

"Look! She tortured me like this and then threw me into the cell. It was so painful!"

Su Ming felt that the fat cook was just greedy and had done nothing wrong, so he agreed to let her out.

The fat cook cried and thanked him, but as soon as the lock was opened, she rushed towards Su Ming and said with a fierce smile:
"Haha, your soul must be delicious! Help me to the end, just eat it obediently!"

Su Ming immediately summoned Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei opened his mouth and spit out a sticky liquid.
-
38280.

The fat cook spat out 1/3 of her blood and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy:
"Ah! I was wrong. You are such a great man, but you are not lenient with me..."
-
7124, -39236, -7691...

Before she could finish her words, she was knocked to death by Xiao Hei.

Su Ming's experience increased a little.

There was a piece of silver equipment left on the ground, which showed that the monster was not very powerful. To put it bluntly, these cells were dungeon benefits for the players.

"Really? You deceived me." Su Ming picked up the silver equipment on the ground and suddenly heard some movement at the entrance of the cave. His face changed. He thought that his fight with the fat cook might attract the jailer, so he quickly ran into the cave.

However, Su Ming was overthinking it. The noise was just Bai Ri Rufen and his men running into the jailer.

After Gu Ya was killed, they contacted Su Ming, but found out that Su Ming had deleted them as a friend. Then they explored on their own and found that the BOSS in this map was stronger than they had expected. Now they finally managed to break the hatred of a BOSS, but when they walked here, they ran into two demon jailers and were killed in a short while.
