“Copy successful! You have gained the ability: Poison Sac (A).”
“Poison Sac: Immune to all poisons, restores 5% of health per minute.”
Almost immediately after copying, the effect took hold.
Li Yang felt the poisoning effect on his body greatly reduced!
And his health was slowly rising.
He was recovering more health than he was losing.
Just then, the system prompt sounded again.
“You currently have two defensive ability cards: Crab Shield (B), Poison Sac (A). Abilities can be fused.”
“Fuse?”
Li Yang was momentarily stunned.
At first, he hadn't paid it any mind.
Now he remembered there was such a use.
After a moment of thought, he decisively chose to fuse!
He believed it couldn't possibly get weaker by fusing, right?
“Card abilities added: ‘Crab Shield’, ‘Poison Sac’.”
“Fusing...”
“Fusion successful!”
“You have obtained: Guardian Shield (S).”
“Guardian Shield: Gain an energy shield that can block 1000 damage. While the shield exists, you are immune to all negative effects (burning, poisoning, etc.), and the shield value increases by 50 points per second. When the shield value overflows, it automatically converts into health recovery.”
Li Yang was slightly surprised.
This was too outrageous, wasn't it?
With this ability, he felt like anyone could be a front-liner!
An increase of 50 shield points per second! As long as he wasn't continuously suppressed and taking damage, or instantly killed, he could basically maintain the shield indefinitely. And the overflowing shield value could directly convert into health recovery.
Healers would cry unemployment.
As the energy shield activated.
Li Yang looked up at the Poison Swamp Water Monster in the distance.
He felt... it wasn't that hard to fight anymore.
Thinking this, he walked forward.
The moment his front foot stepped out of the cave entrance.
The Poison Swamp Water Monster sensed him and abruptly turned to face him.
Several tentacles, covered in slime, waved simultaneously!
A series of bubbles, like machine-gun fire, spewed towards Li Yang.
The bubbles were poisonous!
Li Yang's eyes narrowed, and he quickly gripped his gun, running to the side to dodge the incoming bubbles.
At the same time, he circled the area, looking for an opportunity to get close.
Just as he was continuously approaching.
The tentacles of the Poison Swamp Water Monster in the center suddenly bent, then its body moved, like a spring, its entire body ramming towards Li Yang's direction with extreme speed.
Seeing this, Li Yang quickly leaned back, his entire body almost lying on the ground, while raising his gun tip upwards.
He narrowly dodged the ram, and at the same time, his gun grazed the Poison Swamp Water Monster's body.
“-130!”
The feel of that shot, he felt like he had hit jelly.
The Poison Swamp Water Monster's defense was not low!
After recovering, he looked again.
The Poison Swamp Water Monster was already floating in the air.
Its tentacles continuously waved, and bubbles continuously scattered.
A bubble rain!
And they were poisonous bubbles.
Li Yang was stunned.
In this situation, he estimated he would need to attack from below, and dealing a certain amount of damage would interrupt its casting.
But... how was a melee class supposed to fight this?
He currently didn't have any strict anti-air methods.
Complaining aside.
He still had to fight the monster.
Li Yang began to move, trying to dodge the falling poisonous bubbles as much as possible.
But there were too many, and he inevitably got hit a few times.
“Shield Value -30!”
“Shield Value -30!”
...
Fortunately, he now had an energy shield and was immune to poisoning effects.
He just needed to wait for the Poison Swamp Water Monster to stop.
About a minute passed...
The Poison Swamp Water Monster finally stopped its attack, its body descended, falling into a state of exhaustion, its bloated head slightly drooping.
Seeing this, Li Yang gripped his long gun, seized the opportunity, and flashed over, swinging his long gun down.
“-150!”
“-150!”
“-150!”
If it was an aerial battle, he might have had a difficult time now.
But if it was about dealing continuous damage....
Now, it's my turn!
Gun shadows swept across the dim scene, flashing with silver sharp light.
The Poison Swamp Water Monster's health continuously dropped visibly.
Soon, it fell to only half.
At this moment, the Poison Swamp Water Monster's head lifted, and its entire body emitted a red glow.
Li Yang no longer greedily attacked, quickly pulling back to create distance, while paying attention to the Poison Swamp Water Monster's movements.
The Poison Swamp Water Monster straightened its body, trembling all over, as if something was about to burst out.
“Boom!”
A powerful wave of air, centered on its position, rapidly swept outwards.
The visible airwave sliced over like a blade light!
This damage range... he couldn't dodge it!
Soon, Li Yang judged the situation.
This airwave was almost two meters high and moved extremely fast.
But as the distance increased, its power could be seen to decrease.
Fortunately, he had reacted earlier and pulled back a certain distance in advance.
After retreating to a certain distance, Li Yang turned around.
Watching the airwave, he held his gun in front of him to block.
“Shield Value -300!”
After taking this hit.
He looked again.
The Poison Swamp Water Monster was flying up again, waving its tentacles.
“No way, again?”
Li Yang shrugged helplessly.
This was definitely a mechanics monster.
In this situation, if it wasn't a ranged class like a mage or archer, he could only passively take hits.
If he had the chance to go out, he would definitely copy a mage class to try it out.
Two minutes passed...
Li Yang dodged the rain of poisonous bubbles while paying attention to the Poison Swamp Water Monster's movements.
This time, the duration was clearly longer.
With a loud shriek.
The Poison Swamp Water Monster finally stopped, but it didn't fall into exhaustion like before.
Instead, it violently rammed down towards Li Yang.
Li Yang's foot shifted, and he quickly dodged with a flash.
This sudden attack, luckily his agility was high enough!
And where he had been, a large pit had been created in the ground from the impact.
This time, the Poison Swamp Water Monster finally fell into exhaustion.
Li Yang's gun tip turned, striking the Poison Swamp Water Monster, dealing continuous damage.
“-150!”
“-150!”
“-150!”
...
“You have killed Level 8 Elite - Poison Swamp Water Monster, Experience +800!”
“Level Up: 6-7”
Just then, a light spot appeared at the location where the Poison Swamp Water Monster died.
“Hmm?”
Li Yang walked forward to take a look.
“Water Spirit Bracer”
“Grade: Silver”
“Level Requirement: 5”
“Attack +50”
...
Li Yang's eyes lit up.
Equipment actually dropped!
Weapon and equipment grades are divided into: Black Iron, Silver, Gold, Brilliant, Transcendent, Epic, Legendary.
But it was important to know that monsters below level ten rarely dropped items, the probability was extremely low, perhaps only 1-2%.
Li Yang stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Could it be... he really was the chosen one?
He looked at the bracer in his hand.
Li Yang smiled and shook his head.
He put it on directly.
“Name: Li Yang”
“Class: Blank (???)”
“Level: 7”
“Strength: 230”
“Constitution: 75”
“Agility: 125”
“Spirit: 75”
“Talent: Card”
“Talent Abilities: Guardian Shield (S), Enhance (C)”
“Card Quantity: 1”
The equipment took effect.
Although the equipment grade wasn't high, only providing a basic strength bonus.
But in the early stages, in this situation, the bonus was still very useful.
He now had a high 230 points of strength.
As long as he didn't encounter monsters with outrageous mechanics, he should be able to walk sideways.
After a short rest.
Li Yang stepped over the Poison Swamp Water Monster's corpse, came to the entrance under the giant tree, and stepped inside.
