Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 373 Dragon Vine (7th update)
As a gold ring, the attributes of this trilobite ring are undeniably perfect.

Not only does it have full critical hit rate, life steal, and increased damage, but it also has an 8-second invincible burst skill. Moreover, this burst skill only consumes 30 energy points, which is much less than the 50 points required by my Fantasy Shield. In player battles, energy points are sometimes the lifeline, which is a well-known fact.

Furthermore, the most amazing thing about this trilobite ring is that it has an incredibly powerful passive skill – Trilobite Power!

Increasing melee attack power by 10% seems simple, but it's actually quite complex because it's an attribute that boosts overall attack power.

For example, my current attack cap is 16220 points. Sword specialization increases it by 40%, and a full pink set increases it by 70%, which is 34000+ points of attack power cap. The power of the three-leaf beast increases it by another 10% on this basis, which is equivalent to a passive increase of 3400+ attack power. You can imagine how big the increase is.

"congratulations!"

Although I was a little envious and jealous, I still smiled and said, "This ring's attributes are perfect!"

"Yes, it's perfect..."

Sanbei Tongdao held the ring in his palm, his lips twitching slightly: "What a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

A thought struck me, and I realized my chance had come.

"Unfortunately, I already have a golden ring with an invincible burst skill."

Sanbei Tongdao glanced at me furtively and grinned, "And it's a top-tier ring that adds 20% ranged attack damage. Using this Three-Leaf Beast Ring on top of that would be a complete waste of resources. Besides, the ring's three attributes—life steal, divine power, and Three-Leaf Beast power—are all ineffective against me. It's a bit of a waste..."

This looks promising! I think this guy wants to make a deal!

"so……"

I coughed. "You want to sell this ring?"

"Ah."

Sanbei Tongda tossed the ring into the air, caught it, and repeated this several times before saying, "Such a top-quality ring is impossible to sell for money. It can only be used for barter. Ding Han, you already have a full set of top-quality items, so you probably don't need this ring anymore, right?"

So, you're playing hard to get with me, aren't you?
"I also have a gold ring, but it's not an invincible ring."

I feigned composure and pondered for a moment: "Changing is not out of the question, but not changing is also fine. It all depends on how big the boss's appetite is."

“Do you have any equipment that I can use?” he asked.

"I'm afraid you won't like it."

"Let's take it out and see it first?"

So I opened my storage space and took out a golden automatic rifle, which was the Conqueror that had dropped earlier!
The moment his gaze fell upon the Conqueror's attributes, a look of astonishment flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and chuckled, "A golden automatic rifle... not bad. It's truly the king at a range of 100-400 meters, but unfortunately, its overall damage output at close range is much inferior to that of bomb guns and submachine guns."

The other party's expression clearly indicated that they felt the Conqueror's value was not commensurate with the Trifoliate Ring.

Actually, I think so too. The attributes of the Trifoliate Ring are too perfect, and although the Conqueror is gold, there are many firearms that can replace it. The performance of various gold bomb guns and submachine guns may not be inferior.

"So, Boss Sanbei doesn't need this Conqueror? Never mind then." I pretended to stuff the Conqueror into my storage space.

"Hey..."

Sanbeitong finally couldn't hold back any longer and coughed, saying, "Not really, this Conqueror is actually quite perfect for pairing with my Golden Hellfire Blast Gun, but..."

"Ok."

I laughed heartily: "A gun of the same level might indeed be much less valuable than a top-tier ring. How about this, I'll add a Storm Core here, I wonder if that can get me this Three-Leaf Beast Ring?"

"Storm Core? You have a Storm Core?"

Sanbei Tong looked pleasantly surprised, realizing that even the owner of Sanbei had people he wanted to kill.

"Ah."

I took out a Storm Core and weighed it in my palm.

"can!"

Three Cups immediately said, "The Golden Conqueror plus a Storm Core should be worth as much as the Three-Leaf Beast Ring. Ding Han, are you sure you want to trade?"

"Come on!"

He proactively opened the trade panel and put up the Trifoliate Ring, while I put up the Conqueror and Storm Core.

The transaction was completed in the next second, and the Trifoliate Beast Ring was obtained.

Equip it directly.

At this point, the critical hit rate reached 38%, and with the added damage of 187%, it's simply terrifying!
Next, my melee damage will be greatly increased, and my ranged damage will also be significantly enhanced.

Keep leveling up.

After clearing out the peanut trees in the vicinity, Sanbeitong Dadao turned around and said, "Ding Han, let's split up and farm. I seem to be affecting your monster-farming speed a bit."

"where……"

I smiled slightly, and I could tell that the other person was also a lone wolf who preferred to play solo. Such people are unwilling to team up unless they encounter an invincible enemy.

"Then let's split up and brush them, I'll go west and you go north?"

"Row!"

Sanbeitong smiled and said, "Let's add each other as friends. If any emergencies happen later, we can contact each other quickly."

"OK!"

After adding each other as friends, the other person headed north, while I, carrying my power sword, advanced northwest, continuing to cut down peanut trees one by one.

……

Soon after, the sun set. This was the second night in the Land of Rejuvenation.

My head is a little numb. I killed too many peanut trees, and my whole body is numb. Moreover, after such a long period of high-intensity combat, even if a player has a strong physique, they will still feel tired and need to rest for a while.

So they found a cave, lit a campfire inside, ate something, set an alarm, and fell asleep on their cot.

I don't know how much time passed before I woke up from the dream.

The dream was very chaotic. In the dream, I seemed to see two demon gods from the Chaos faction. Their towering figures were oppressive, with sinister eyes and ferocious laughter. It seemed like a nightmare.

I glanced at my phone; it was not yet 11 p.m., and the alarm hadn't gone off yet.

I turned off the alarm and decided to try to appease my girlfriend; I hadn't spoken to her for almost a day.

"Xiao Ying, are you in bed yet?"

"I'm taking a shower, wait for me."

"it is good."

I took out a few hamburgers and started to replenish my energy.

A moment later, Lin Qingying sent a message: "All done, how are you now?"

"I just took a nap, now I'm up to continue cutting down trees."

I checked the mission progress and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to return to Huaining City tomorrow."

"Ah That's good."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Qingying seemed worried about disturbing my tree-cutting progress and said she was going to sleep first.

After putting my girlfriend to sleep, I picked up my power sword, left the cave, and continued chopping down trees!
……

Around 1 a.m.

Finally, after diligent work, with a large number of peanut trees lying behind me, and the total number of kills finally reaching 10000, a bell rang in my ears, and the mission was completed!

[Congratulations! You have completed the quest "Peanuts Growing on Trees, Cleaning Contaminated Cordyceps" (S-rank)! Rewards: Character Experience +4400 million, Charm +1, Reputation +3000, and an additional reward: "Shockwave" (S-rank Skill Tome)!]

The reward was alright; they gave me a book called Shockwave!

Shockwave is also a rare skill for Super Warriors. It is not only an AOE attack but also has extremely high damage and a low drop rate, making it a skill that most Super Warrior players covet.

It just so happens that Ruolin doesn't have this yet, so I'll go back and make up for this shortcoming for her.

……

Stand in the wilderness and open the large map.

My current location is slightly south of the center of the Land of Resurrection. Obviously, the Peanut Tree is not the true core of the Land of Resurrection, so the map of the area to the north is dark red and remains unexplored.

After thinking about it, I made a decision.

Since we're already here, even if it's a den of dragons and tigers ahead, we have to go through it, not only for ourselves, but also for Xingyuan.

So, I slowly made my way through the mist with my sword. Along the way, I encountered some monsters like Chaos Beasts and Peanut Trees. There was nothing to say about them. I just killed them all. I'm here to level up, so I can't be picky!

After traveling north for about half an hour, the map's color became even more intense, turning almost blackish red.

Just then, the terrain ahead suddenly sank down, revealing a large basin shrouded in mist, from which a strange aura emanated.

He took out a flashlight from his storage space, fixed it to his shoulder, and shone it straight ahead. Holding the Conqueror in his arms, he walked step by step into the basin.

"Shuashuashua~~"

A few minutes later, amidst a strange noise, something seemed to be moving on the ground.

It swam incredibly fast, arriving in front of us in the blink of an eye. Its body slithered forward, and it opened its mouth to bite!

Step Slash!
After dodging the attack, the Conqueror aimed and fired. In the flash of the gunfire, the creature was seen rolling after being hit, letting out a loud squeak before charging forward again.

Is it a snake?
It doesn't seem to be, but rather a vine that resembles a snake.

The vine was blood red all over, like a red-banded snake, which was extremely eerie!
The next second, its attributes appeared.

Snake Vine, Level 75, Cyan BOSS, same quality as Peanut Tree.

Conquerors are no longer effective; let's switch to melee combat!

Just as the snake vine charged forward again, the power sword was drawn and cleaved in two with a "crack." Instantly, scalding blood gushed out, and the blood droplets sizzled on the ground and quickly caught fire. In addition, the snake vine that had been cut in two grew wildly and transformed into two smaller snake vines in the blink of an eye!

The scene was so bizarre it sent chills down my spine.

Keep chopping, let's see how many times you can split!

After slashing more than ten times, cutting the snake vine into braised eel segments, it finally behaved itself, squeaking twice before handing over the experience points and the blue treasure chest.

At this moment, the thin mist in the basin seemed to be dissipating. As the mist dissipated, my vision gradually opened up, and I saw a huge network of veins in the basin.

The entire basin was dominated by a giant plant with a very developed root system that was blood red and spread across the entire basin like a spider web. It looked a bit like a giant red purslane.

"What the hell is that?"

I gazed into the distance, focusing on the center of this giant plant, and soon after, a line of text appeared—

【Dragon Vine】(Chaos Level, S9, Brown BOSS)
