Upon entering the third floor of the Blackstone Tower, I was immediately attacked by a group of four skeletal warriors. My health dropped significantly by 80, then 90, and eventually 70. No player had ventured into the third floor yet, and it was teeming with monsters. The skeletal warrior guarding the entrance of the tower launched its attack on me.
Fortunately, I was prepared beforehand and remained calm. I quickly consumed a health potion and launched a counterattack. However, as I was striking back, four more skeletal warriors appeared from a short distance away and charged towards me.
Feeling frustrated, I decided to take the risk and accelerated my attack and strength, aiming to defeat the four warriors as soon as possible. If I failed, the eight warriors combined would be too much for me to handle, even though I am a skilled player.
After a fierce battle, I managed to defeat six of the eight warriors. Victory was within my reach, but my health was rapidly decreasing, and I only had a mere two hundred health points left. Unable to withstand the attacks of the remaining two warriors, I was in imminent danger.
Realizing that I could not win this fight by brute force, I swiftly turned around and fled to the second floor of the Blackstone Tower. Fortunately, the monsters' reach was limited, and the skeletal warriors on the third floor could not enter the second floor. I was able to escape the danger and wait until my health had fully recovered before venturing back into the third floor of the tower with renewed vigor.
This time, there were only two skeletal warriors guarding the entrance of the third floor. I quickly eliminated them and secured a safe area to explore the rest of the third floor.
The layout of the third floor of the Blackstone Tower was relatively simple. It was a large hall teeming with skeletal warriors and a type of worm-like creature wriggling on the ground.
Using my "Insight" skill, I examined the worm-like creature:
Bloodthirsty Worm: Level 28, Health: 1500, Skill: Bloodthirst, Absorbs the opponent's blood to replenish its own health. Blood light can heal allies. Originally a small insect on the battlefield, it evolved into a bloodthirsty demon worm after absorbing the blood and magic from the fallen soldiers on the battlefield. It can share its own extra blood with its allies.
Although the Bloodthirsty Worm may not appear to be a formidable opponent, its presence on the third floor of the Blackstone Tower suggests that it is no ordinary creature.
Indeed, when I used the skill "provocation" to lure a team of four skeletal warriors, a bloodthirsty worm also leisurely followed. Just as I was fighting the skeletal warriors with blood and sweat, and the skeletal warriors were about to perish, the worm used a skill called "blood light" to heal the skeletal warriors, which was really frustrating.
This bloodthirsty worm was originally a nursemaid for the skeletal warriors, with duties similar to those of a player's priest, no wonder it was not powerful in itself.
I'm dizzy! The bloodthirsty worm always followed far behind the skeletal warriors, making it impossible for me to go kill the worm first, for fear of alerting the nearby skeletal warrior team. Dealing with two teams of eight skeletal warriors was too much for me.
There was no other way but to resist it. Fortunately, I could handle it, and the level of the blood light skill used by the worm was low, with limited usage and effect, so I was still able to defeat the four skeletal warriors and the bloodthirsty worm together. However, the speed of clearing the monsters was greatly reduced.
"Ding dong, congratulations to player Stone City for obtaining the rotten blood, and the proficiency of collection skills has increased."
Rotten blood: low-level material that can be used to make poison.
Looking at the materials produced by the bloodthirsty worm, it was really frustrating and nauseating, not only of little use but also disgusting.
Finally, after a hard fight, I slowly cleared the skeletal warriors and bloodthirsty worms around the third floor hall of the Blackstone Tower and finally approached the center of the hall.
Ha ha, what's that? In the center of the hall, there was a strange creature wearing a cloak, covering its face. It was slender and ghostly, floating lightly in the air. It looked like a female monster, probably the so-called skeleton succubus.
"Ding dong, player xxx has completed the system's unique hidden task of the sadness of Luoyan Village and obtained the level-eight pet Double-winged Sky Tiger. The pet system is open, and as long as the player kills monsters, there is a chance to obtain pet eggs and hatch pets."
"Ding dong, the pet system is open, and the pet leaderboard is open."
"Ding dong, the pet system is open, and the pet leaderboard is open."
As I was about to use the Insight skill to observe this monster in a cloak, the system suddenly released a notice announcing the opening of the pet system. The two messages were repeatedly announced three times each, as if a giant stone had been thrown into calm waters, causing huge waves.
No way, we've always had good self-perception, but someone has quietly completed this amazing task and obtained a high-level pet - an eighth-grade pet, to be exact.
Let's take a look at the pet leaderboard:
Pet Leaderboard:
First place, eighth-grade pet, the Double-winged Sky Tiger, owned by a person whose name is hidden.
There's only one pet on the leaderboard, the Double-winged Sky Tiger, and it's very eye-catching in its loneliness.
Let's take a look at the other leaderboards. The Top Ten and Wealth Leaderboards haven't changed much, but the reputation of the archer whose name is hidden in second place on the Reputation Leaderboard caught our attention.
Reputation Leaderboard:
First place, Reputation: 1760, name hidden, Knight
Second place, Reputation: 1430, name hidden, Archer
Third place, Reputation: 610, Hao Tian, Mage
Fourth place, Reputation: 580, Feng Yun Jin Long, Warrior
Fifth place, Reputation: 560, San ye kuang fu, Knight
Sixth place, Reputation: 470, Li Huo, Warrior
Seventh place, Reputation: 460, Liu Yi Zhan Long, Warrior
Eighth place, Reputation: 430, Tianhuo Dao Yin, Knight
Ninth place, Reputation: 390, Qiang Wei-Zi Hong, Archer
Tenth place, Reputation: 350, She Ri, Archer
I remember that this morning, the reputation of the archer whose name is hidden in second place on the Reputation Leaderboard was only 1020. Now, it has increased to 1430 in just a morning. This must be due to completing a super mission and receiving a reputation reward, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big change.
Impressive, I am envious! It seems like we have been narrow-minded. There are many powerful individuals in "King of Glory"! We must strive harder.
Closing the rankings, I observe the ghost-like creature floating in the air with a "Insight" ability.
The Skeleton Banshee is a level 30 task boss with 4500 life points. She possesses the skill "Phantasmal Body," providing a 30% immunity to physical attacks. Her "Triple Stab" skill generates three consecutive attacks that inflict a freezing effect. She absorbs pure yin demonic energy from the bones of the deceased on the battlefield. A magical creature formed by slowly consolidating, it is extremely difficult to form a Skeleton Banshee. It takes ten years to become a Skeleton Banshee Soul, a hundred years to become a Skeleton Banshee, five hundred years to become a Skeleton Witch, and a thousand years to become a Skeleton Queen.
Oh dear, this Skeleton Banshee seems to be a formidable opponent. It appears to be a natural enemy of soldier-class occupations, especially with its impressive "Phantasmal Body" skill.
