Chapter 31 - Rich Spoils of War

"Brother, I know I was wrong. Can you spare my dog life? I can give you all my equipment as long as you don't kill me!"

Ignoring the trembling assassins, Zhang Xuan said coldly, "How did you discover my location?"

"Our boss, Luo Tao, is the one you dealt with in the beginning. Previously, in the novice dungeon, he obtained an item that allows him to obtain a high-altitude view within a 5-kilometer radius. However, the cooldown time is 5 days."

Facing the surrounding Skeleton Warriors who were eyeing him covetously, this assassin didn't dare have any thoughts. After all, Luo Tao was an example.

Zhang Xuan nodded. So he had used a rare item.

Pfft!

Just as the assassin was about to continue begging for mercy, a spear pierced through his chest. His last expression of fear froze on his face.

Zhang Xuan had no intention of showing mercy to such people. If not for his special talent, they wouldn't have shown him any mercy even if they killed him.

Moreover, from their familiarity, it was obvious that they were veterans in killing and robbing.

Zhang Xuan stuffed their dropped items into his backpack and left without stopping.

This wasn't a safe place. The earlier he left, the less trouble he would cause.

After entering the mountain range, Zhang Xuan saw some job changers who were mining.

They probably didn't know about the Hidden Boss, but Zhang Xuan was much safer here. Some of the mining job changers had lower levels than him.

This type of class changer was probably the altruistic type who relied on selling ores to survive in the main city. The country wouldn't force these class changers to level up because they would be better off mining to make some contributions on the battlefield.

At this time, the sky was already completely dark. Zhang Xuan lit a bonfire and opened his backpack.

Previously, the Boss reward he obtained was only a Chapter of Earth Sand and a dropped backpack. The effect of the Chapter of Earth Sand was similar to the Obscure Pearl. The wearer could sense the active units within a 200-meter radius.

This was why the assassin was captured by the Skeleton Archers even though he had escaped the detection range of the pearl.

The new backpack he obtained, [Sandworm Shell], solved Zhang Xuan's previous problem of filling his backpack.

After all, it was an item dropped by a Hidden Boss. The capacity provided was almost equivalent to a Level 40 backpack, which was five times the current capacity of his backpack.

As for the other equipment, Zhang Xuan didn't have the time to check them. He had to sort out the items dropped by the five unlucky fellows.

The first thing he wanted to see was naturally the set equipment that he had obtained. This was something that only first clear class advancement players would have. Subsequent players could only randomly obtain one of the components.

As for Hidden Bosses like this, most of them respawned around half a year ago!

[Stealth Equipment Set (Legendary): A set that is protected by the Sandworm King. After equipping 5 pieces, the Hidden Shadow can be obtained.]

[Hidden Shadow: Increases the passive effect of each piece of equipment by 200%. When the wearer receives fatal damage, the wearer will trigger the Shadow of the Sand King, and will be immune to damage for 3 seconds. The ground within a 100-meter radius will turn into quicksand and devour all ground units (excluding the wearer)]

As soon as he saw the effect of the Hidden Shadow Set, Zhang Xuan was stunned. Putting aside the effects of the other parts, just the death immunity effect of the five sets alone could be sold for at least billions of gold coins!

Not to mention that the Hidden Shadow Set didn't have any class restrictions or ridiculously low level restrictions. Zhang Xuan remembered that a set with such an effect usually had to be at least Level 40.

Zhang Xuan opened the set gift box and clicked on the first piece of equipment.

[Crown of Hidden Shadow (Legendary)]

[Class Restriction: None]

[Wear Restriction: Level 15, second transition]

[Equipment user +300 Spirit upper limit, +200 Attack, +12/s Spirit Recovery]

[Passive Effect: Equipment holder has two or more pieces of set equipment. Equipment provides a 50% bonus]

"What the heck?!"

Just by looking at the attributes of the first set, Zhang Xuan's blood pressure rose. Was the effect of this single piece of equipment so ridiculous?

Normally, equipment with such attributes would be at least Level 50 and above!

Suppressing his excitement, he continued to look at the other pieces of equipment. This time, he finally couldn't remain calm.

This was simply a f*cking divine artifact!

Zhang Xuan did some rough calculations. The enhancement provided by each set was almost equivalent to epic-grade equipment at level 50. The enhancement effect of the five sets together was almost comparable to a Level 60 Legendary equipment!

Although he couldn't wear it at the moment, just looking at this set directly highlighted one word: abnormal!

With excitement in his heart, Zhang Xuan continued to check. Soon, he discovered the second treasure, but there was something wrong.

[Sand King Gloves (Legendary)]

[Class Restriction: None]

[Wear Restriction: Level 15, second transition]

[Equipment user +600 Strength, endurance consumption -35%, attack speed increased by 55%]

[Passive Effect: 30% of the user's strength is converted to agility.]

[Active Effect: Impaling Fang. The user's next 1 minute attack will ignore the opponent's defense. Cooldown: 20 minutes.]

Needless to say, this was also a divine artifact. Currently, equipment with active and passive effects are basically priceless on the market.

However, although Zhang Xuan could use it, he wasn't interested in being a close-combat Mage. Moreover, from the description, it seemed like it was prepared for Liu Tangshan.

As the king of close combat, a martial artist could fully unleash the effect of this weapon!

"D*mn it, I worked so hard to kill the Boss, but this is the only weapon I dropped for you!"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but curse. However, he didn't intend to sell it, although the price of such legendary equipment with heaven-defying attributes wouldn't be cheaper than the Hidden Shadow Set.

However, Liu Tangshan had taken good care of Zhang Xuan and Zhang Anya, who came from poor families. He was also one of the few people who treated the two of them as biological siblings.

He continued to check the other items that had dropped. Most of the remaining items were materials that he had never heard of before. The exact value could wait until he returned to the Exchange Center.

There were also some that showed "???". Usually, this kind of item needed the help of an alchemist.
