I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Cola Novels (latest update): Getting hit permanently increases defense; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

An invisible wave instantly spread out, covering an area of ​​more than thirty meters in radius.

Blade, who was about to escape, suddenly froze.

He felt an irresistible rage rush to his head, forcing him to turn around, raise his giant axe, and charge at Lin Yuan!

However, the next second, Lin Yuan was stunned.

Because he discovered something extremely unusual, except that the blade was affected and he was slashed once.

The other three only swayed slightly and were completely unaffected!

Even Blade only attacked once before immediately regaining his senses and turning to leave.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Blade let out a mocking laugh.

"Phew...you scared the hell out of me!"

"Kid, you're still too green!"

"You don't actually think that taunting skills make you invincible, do you?"

Although Blade was fleeing for his life, his tone was full of superiority.

"The effectiveness of taunt skills is determined based on aggro level and attack intent!"

"As long as I completely abandon the idea of ​​attacking you and only want to escape!"

"Then your forced attack judgment will be greatly reduced, or even fail, due to 'target loss'!"

Lin Yuan: ...No, how come you feel superior for running away?

Lin Yuan stood there, nodding thoughtfully; this was something he had overlooked.

After all, in dungeons, the monsters are all single-minded idiots who just charge in without thinking.

However, when dealing with humans, this loophole in the mechanism is indeed a problem.

"Since mockery can't keep you here."

"Then let's use some simple and brutal methods."

Lin Yuan looked at the four people who had already run more than ten meters away, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Looking at the thousands of defense points I'd accumulated but hadn't been willing to use.

Lin Yuan directly added 1000 defense points to the armor!

Armor: 800 (+510) -> 2800 (+510)

His base armor increased by 2000 points!

With the equipment bonuses, his total armor value instantly soared to 3310 points!

Lin Yuan slowly raised the Myriad Devouring Shield in his hand.

A terrifying energy began to condense on the shield, and the surrounding air was distorted by this enormous energy!

"Didn't you say I didn't cause any harm?"

"Then let me show you."

"What does 'armor equals justice' really mean!"

"Shockwave, activate!!"

boom--!

Lin Yuan slammed his shield into the ground!

A visible, tangible shockwave swept forward in a fan shape!

Skill Description: Deals physical damage equal to 150% of the user's current total armor value to a fan-shaped area 15 meters in front of the user!

3310 × 150% = 4965 points of damage!

Keep in mind that even a level 20 Berserker Blade, with the help of equipment, has a maximum of 1,000 HP, maybe even less!

The four people who were running wildly felt a world-destroying aura coming from behind them.

They turned around in horror and saw a transparent shockwave!

The screams were instantly drowned out by the roar.

When the smoke cleared, only a huge fan-shaped crater remained on the wasteland.

Those four hunters who were so arrogant just moments ago have now turned to ashes.

Only a few faint orbs of light remained on the ground. Lin Yuan stepped forward, bent down, and began to clean up the battlefield.

As a thrifty and hardworking man, he should never abandon the fine tradition of touching corpses.

"Let me see what good stuff these veterans have up their sleeves."

Lin Yuan picked up a dagger that gleamed with a cold light.

[Venom Fang Dagger (Black Iron)]

[Wearing Level: LV15]

[Attributes: Strength +10, Agility +15]

"Black iron? Garbage."

Lin Yuan curled his lip in disgust and casually tossed the item into his backpack.

He picked up another staff.

【Flame Staff (Black Iron)】

"Only adds 20 points to Intelligence? And the equipment level isn't low."

"Trash, still trash."

If those guys from Blade's Edge knew what Lin Yuan said in the afterlife, they'd probably be so angry they'd die again.

This is the stuff they risked their lives for!

In the mouth of this level 9 newbie, it actually became waste in the recycling station?

Lin Yuan looted all the spoils of war.

"We've lost money, we've lost a fortune."

"After wasting so much time, all we got was this little bit of information?"

Lin Yuan estimated in his mind that if he sold the equipment, along with some other junk, he would get at most 5,000 gold coins.

This might have been a huge sum of money for him in the past, but now, it's just so-so.

What frustrated him most was that killing people didn't give him any experience points!

"This deal is a huge loss."

"It's best to avoid fights like this that don't offer any experience points. We absolutely can't waste time!"

"Unless they have a lot of money."

The thought of how he had just induced the other party to attack him made him feel a little foolish.

The school never mentioned that killing someone would not grant experience points.

The school mainly teaches knowledge about dungeons, equipment, and monsters.

Perhaps it's because schools are ivory towers, and teachers don't want students to harm their fellow countrymen after leaving school.

If others knew Lin Yuan's inner thoughts, they would definitely think he was Versailles!

Five thousand gold coins is quite a lot!

Normally, killing a small monster in a dungeon will only yield a few to a dozen gold coins, while bosses drop a little more.

but!

For Lin Yuan right now, experience and defensive points are the most important things!

He came out this time to upgrade and farm defense points.

While you can farm monsters in the wild, they are too scattered and inefficient.

"We need to find a place with lots of monsters, strong monsters, and a high density of them."

Lin Yuan stopped a passing adventurer party.

"Dude, I need to ask you something."

"Are there any dungeons around here? Preferably with monsters level 15 or higher."

The adventurer glanced at Lin Yuan's top-tier equipment. Although he was envious, he had also heard the explosion in the distance and didn't dare to act rashly.

Since Lin Yuan gave them a small bag of money for asking for directions, they were naturally happy to tell him.

"Go ten miles west, there is an 'Iron-Toothed Ant Nest' over in the Red Soil Canyon."

"Those are level 15 to 20 dungeons."

"The monsters inside are Iron-Toothed Ants, which are insect-type monsters. They're not strong individually, but there are just too many of them! They're densely packed, and they come out in swarms!"

"Moreover, those ants bite people very frequently, and if you're not careful, you'll be eaten to the bone."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Large quantity? High frequency?"

"Great place! Thanks!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly ran westward, leaving the adventurer completely bewildered.

"Why is he so excited?"

……

Half an hour later.

Lin Yuan arrived at the Red Soil Canyon.

Not a blade of grass grows here, and the ground has an eerie dark red color.

Deep in the canyon, there stands a huge mound covered with countless holes, like a honeycomb.

This is the entrance to the instance: Irontooth Ant Nest.
