Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 172 The Monsoon Traveler's Boots

When the molten metal bomb met the joint lubricant, it was like dry wood meeting a raging fire. In just an instant, the joint of the spine butcher's right leg crackled and popped, and the entire leg was almost ruined!
As a result, its mobility will be greatly affected.

"Boss..."

Cai Cai exclaimed excitedly, "Awesome... Shall we come and reinforce them now?"

"Don't show up, and don't be greedy!"

As I fired armor-piercing rounds from my explosive gun at the Spine Butcher's left leg joint, I said in a deep voice, "The biggest characteristic of this Spine Butcher is that it's incredibly monstrous. Who knows what other monstrous tricks it has up its sleeve? You guys keep firing from a distance and don't come any closer. It would be a huge loss if you got killed instantly!"

"Ok!"

The next second, the Spinner Butcher, enduring the excruciating pain, suddenly flipped over, using the six spinal tentacles on its back as legs, and charged forward in a monstrous way, its tailbone sweeping through the air!

Lord's Shield!

Annihilation Rock Armor!

Just as I raised my shield, the opponent's tailbone lashed out, followed by another flip of its body, and its two longest spinal tendrils split into two, striking my left and right armpits!

This feeling, it's like my body is being torn apart, it's so intense!

"9881!"

"10023!"

"10984!"

[Battle Notification: You are now lightly injured!]

……

Good heavens, that's absolutely insane!
Just as the Spinner Butcher was about to deliver the final blow, I suddenly rolled off the ground and used a Medkit to instantly restore my health to over 60%!

"be careful!"

Hidden inside the rest pod, Faye Chaochen used his magic through the gaps to slightly delay the Spine Butcher's attack.

Meanwhile, Shen Jin, Ji Meng Ke Ke, and others also pulled out pistols and fired a few shots as the Spine Butcher passed by. In the setting of "Star Abyss", as long as you deal damage to the BOSS, you can get the final power crystal treasure chest. However, if you want to be the first to kill it, you must join the killing team, otherwise you will not be able to get it.

It seems that Shen Jin was too ashamed to join the team, so he could only get an orange treasure chest by default.

"Damn, that's pretty ruthless!"

I was out of breath, and a few seconds later I used another first aid kit to almost restore my health bar to full before I used the bomb gun again, still targeting the Spinebreaker's legs!
After emptying three magazines of armor-piercing rounds, with a "crack," the opponent's left leg joint was blown apart. The next second, a hot melt ammo magazine was switched on, and after firing a burst, the Spine Butcher's left leg also burst into flames!
Amidst the crackling and scorching heat, the health bar plummeted!
"10000!"

"10000!"

"10000!"

"10000!"

……

It's awesome! It burns 1 health points every second, and if both legs burn at the same time, it's 2!

In the blink of an eye, the Spine Killer's health bar was down to 42%, but I still managed to keep him occupied. Then I used another combo of Heavenly Craftsmanship and Unstoppable Force to ignite his right arm joint as well, and his health bar dropped even faster!
Just then, a voice as sharp as a gunshot rang out from the star map: "We'll be there in three minutes. The Initiator is there too. How's the situation on your side? Can you hold on?"

"We can hold on."

"It's just that the Spinach Butcher is starting to feel the strain..." said the courtier.

"what?"

Gunshot Like a Dragon: He was completely dumbfounded.

Soon after, lights shone from afar, and several off-road vehicles came into view. The headlights of the vehicles illuminated the wilderness, and on the second vehicle stood a person completely wrapped in a cloak.

The one who initiated it, even he came!
However, although the Spine Butcher activated its healing skill, its health bar dropped too quickly with all three joints burning fiercely, and the healing skill couldn't bring it back up. Just over ten seconds later, with a mournful howl from the Spine Butcher, it finally came to the end of its confused and sinful life, and a series of ding-dong sounds rang in the air!

[Congratulations! Your team has defeated the "Spine Butcher" (Orange Boss), achieving the first kill of an Orange Boss in *Star Abyss*. Rewards: Achievement +6, Charisma +2! Additional reward: "Resurrection Codex" (S-Rank Recovery Item)!]

[Battle Notification: Your squad has defeated the "Spine Butcher" (Orange Boss), gaining 2400000 character experience points. The Elemental Furnace extracted 1200000 experience points!]

[Congratulations! Your team has defeated the "Spine Butcher" (orange boss) and obtained the item: 1 "Boss Ability Crystal"!]

……

Cool!
3 achievement points, plus 2 charm points, and an extra Resurrection Scripture as a reward!
That fat guy is lucky; he even got the Resurrection Scripture!

"rustle……"

Amidst the sound of footsteps, Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, Fatty, and Kou Mei rushed over, while Fa Ye Chao Chen also emerged from the rest cabin.

"Congratulations, Zhu Ying!"

Faye Chaochen had a look of relief on his face: "I was too arrogant before. I thought I could use my positioning to wear down the Spine Butcher. I didn't expect this BOSS to have so many shameless attack methods. If you hadn't intervened in time, I would probably be dead here."

"You're too kind. I was just helping someone in need!"

I grinned and said, "It's good that everyone is alright!"

"Yes, it's good that everyone is alright!" He nodded emphatically.

At this moment, five players from the Ember Domain, including Shenjin and Jimeng Keke, also came out. Although each of them had obtained an orange treasure chest, their output was too low, so it was estimated that they would most likely get experience points, and orange equipment was out of the question.

"Ding Han, thank you..."

Shen Jin said something.

As the leader of the alliance, he was reluctant to say many things, but saying thank you was already quite kind. "You're welcome, it was just a small favor."

I nodded.

Cai Cai suggested, "How about we open the box first?"

"Yeah."

Hōya Chōchō said with a smile, "Let's see what we can get."

In the distance, lights flashed, and Gunfire Dragon, Opener, and others had gotten out of the car and were walking over.

Without thinking much, I took out the orange treasure chest from my otherworldly storage space and opened it!
Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Monsoon Traveler's Boots] (Quality: Orange)!

……

"Om~~~"

For a moment, my mind went blank. It really is an orange-tier item! Star Abyss is really giving me too much credit!
He hurriedly opened his interdimensional storage space, where a pair of shimmering orange combat boots lay quietly in the corner. His gaze lingered on them briefly, and their attributes floated out, utterly captivating—

【Monsoon Traveler's Boots】(Quality: Orange)
Rank: Tier 3

Defense: 180
Strength: +40
Agility: +38
Blessing: Mighty Force - II, increases attack power by 280 points.
Blessing: Wind Walk, movement speed +60%
Blessing: Resilience, increases own health by 3500 points.

Burst Skill: [Walking with the Wind], summons the power of wind, increasing own movement speed by 100% for 12 seconds, consumes 30 Yuan Energy, cooldown is 120 seconds.

Required Agility: 350
……

'Holy shit...'

Looking at the stats of these orange boots, I was stunned again. They're ridiculously powerful!

As an orange-tier item, it adds a whopping 180 points to base armor, which is quite outrageous. In addition, the combined strength and agility bonus of 78 points is already quite extreme.

The most outrageous thing is that the entry for "Mighty Force - II" appeared, and the Mighty Force - II of the orange tier 3 equipment directly increases attack power by 280 points, which is indeed a bit too much!

It's worth noting that melee players' attack power is generally between 600 and 1000 at this stage, and this "Mighty Force - II" increases it by 280 points, which is really unfair.

In addition, Windwalker's passive ability increases movement speed by 60%. In Star Abyss, boots of any slightly higher quality will definitely come with the "Windwalker" blessing, since boots are supposed to increase movement speed!
With a 60% movement speed, it already far surpasses the speed of other players at this stage.

However, these orange boots also come with a "Wind Walk" burst skill! It increases movement speed by 100% for 12 seconds. If you stack Wind Walk on top of that, then when I activate Wind Walk, my movement speed reaches 2.6 times the base speed, which is quite terrifying!

As long as I activate the "Follow the Wind" skill, I'll be Dai Zong, the legendary dashing swordsman from "Star Abyss"!
Holding the boots in both hands, he was overjoyed!
However, these Monsoon Traveler's Boots are actually quite overpowered. What's overpowered is that they require 350 points of Agility to wear! To be frank, at this stage, no one but melee player of the third tier should be able to meet this requirement!

With the blessing of the SS-level Yuanli Furnace, and with several agility-boosting skills already maxed out, I only have 364 agility points. These boots are probably specially prepared for the Shadow Assassin.
His scheme was shameless and despicable, full of cunning, but unfortunately, he ran into me.

"Clap!"

With a wave of his hand, he put on the Monsoon Traveler's Boots. Instantly, a faint orange glow appeared on his feet, and he felt a surge of power, making his body feel much lighter and giving him the sensation of flying.

……

"What did you offer?"

"I got a purple leggings," said Faye Chaochen. "Not bad, I thought it was experience points..."

"After all, it's the first orange-tier boss, so the rewards won't be too bad."

Cai Cai said, "I got a purple sniper rifle."

Ruolin said, "I got a purple breastplate, which added a lot of defense and health. This is a huge profit."

The fat man said sullenly, "I only got one blue item."

“Me too…” Kou-mei chimed in.

Shen Jin, Ji Meng Ke Ke, and the others remained silent, presumably because the results they drew were not good.

"never mind."

Faye Chaochen said, "At least 3 achievement points and 1 charm point have been gained, so this is still a huge profit."

"what?"

I was surprised: "How come I have 6 achievement points and 2 charm points, while you all have 3 achievement points and 1 charm point?"

"Ah."

Everyone nodded.

It seems that because I dealt so much damage to the BOSS, the system gave me the highest first-kill achievement reward during the evaluation, which makes sense.

If those who slack off receive the same rewards as those who participate in the main battle, it only shows that the game design is not reasonable enough.

……

"Alliance Leader of the Divine Ashes, Ding Han, Fa Ye..."

Just then, Gun-Dragon finally arrived, hurriedly leading a group of people carrying guns and asking, "Where's the Spine Butcher?"

"Here..."

Cai Cai pouted.

Not far away, the spine butcher's enormous body lay there in a "T" shape, its limbs still burning fiercely.
