Slash!
Charge!
Stampede!
The Golden Arthropod, with its hundreds of compound eyes, could see through all targets with stealth levels not exceeding Level 2.
Even Qin Feng couldn't escape its detection.
However...
No matter what attacks this Gold-level boss launched, it couldn't hit Qin Feng!
Compared with special bosses like the Golden Ghost Ship, this Golden Arthropod was obviously much easier to deal with.
Qin Feng could even dodge those attacks with ease.
When his skills' cooldowns were over, he directly counterattacked and each time could take away one-sixth of the boss's health bar.
Just over a minute later.
Under the shocked and incredulous gazes of Gray Rose and the others...
The Gold-level boss actually turned around and ran away!
But Qin Feng was too fast!
The Golden Arthropod had only run two hundred or so meters into the woods when Qin Feng caught up with it and completely killed it!
——
[You have killed the 'Golden Arthropod (Lv8 Gold-level)'.]
[You have gained 6,400 experience points.]
[You have gained 7 evolution points!]
[You have gained 497 days of lifespan (tradable).]
——
Before Gray Rose and the others caught up, Qin Feng directly used the "Hand of Greed".
——
[You have gained 7 evolution points!]
[You have gained 7 evolution points!]
[You have gained 7 evolution points!]
[You have gained 497 days of lifespan (tradable).]
[...]
——
A series of system prompts came, making Qin Feng feel quite satisfied.
"One Gold-level boss gave 28 evolution points and nearly 2,000 days of tradable lifespan!"
The combined effects of the "Hand of Greed" and the "Ghost Fire Bell" made Qin Feng's development speed far exceed that of ordinary players.
As for experience...
It only took 10,000 experience points to level up from Level 9 to Level 10.
But to level up from Level 10 to Level 11, 100,000 experience points were needed.
The 6,400 experience points were quite a lot, but still not enough for Qin Feng to level up...
When Qin Feng checked the loot, his eyes lit up immediately.
——
[Black Light Shield (Platinum)]: Assassin-type skill. After being actively used, convert all of your dodge rate into damage-free shields, lasting for 8 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds. Required level: 8
[Conversion rate: Every 20% dodge is converted into 1 layer of damage-free shield!]
(After the shield is broken or the duration ends, the dodge rate returns to normal!)
——
"This skill book actually dropped?"
"After learning this skill, many bosses can be defeated without taking damage... Especially the bosses on the God-Forsaken Continent!"
Qin Feng was quite pleasantly surprised.
He learned it directly!
Taking the effect of him learning "Ghostly Blur" and evolving it to the epic level for example, he had a passive 75% dodge probability.
After using the Black Light Shield, he would obtain 3 layers of damage-free shields.
In other words, no matter how high the opponent's damage was, Qin Feng could be immune to the first three attacks!
"Not only for fighting bosses, but also when exploring ruins and maps..."
"With this skill, I can even explore many high-level areas in advance!"
Qin Feng didn't hesitate at all.
He directly consumed 1 + 2 + 3 evolution points, a total of 6 points, to evolve this skill to the epic level!
——
[Black Light Shield (Platinum → Epic)]: Assassin-type skill. The duration of the damage-free shield lasts for 8 → 10 → 12 → 14 seconds.
[Conversion rate: Every 20% → 15% → 12% → 10% dodge is converted into 1 layer of damage-free shield!]
——
The epic-level Black Light Shield, when used, could convert Qin Feng's 75% dodge rate into 7 layers of damage-free shields!
"To continue evolving the Black Light Shield, 50 evolution points are needed..."
"It's enough for now."
Qin Feng still had 22 evolution points left.
He first spent 3 + 5 + 8, a total of 16 evolution points, to evolve the "Poison Dart" three times.
——
[Poison Dart (Silver → Emerald)]: Maximum range 14 → 17 meters. Deals an additional 120 → 240 attack points when hitting.
[Poison: Deals 50% → 80% continuous damage per second, without weak point bonus, lasts for 5 seconds, and cannot be stacked.]
——
After evolving the "Poison Dart" three times, the damage of this skill had at least doubled!
Since the base cooldown of this skill was only 5 seconds, its continuous output was not weaker than that of the "Instant Shadow Slash".
"Still got 6 evolution points left. I'll have to put them aside for now."
Besides skills, the Golden Arthropod also dropped two pieces of usable equipment for Qin Feng.
——
[Lightness Ring (Platinum-level)]: Assassin-type accessory. Agility +20. Movement speed +20%, Attack speed +20%, Cooldown speed +20%. Equipment requirement: Level 8
[Heavy Red Leather Gloves (Gold-level): Assassin-type armor. Physical defense +18, All elemental resistances +15. Constitution +12, Health points +588. Equipment requirement: Level 6
——
After changing into these two pieces of equipment, Qin Feng's cooldown speed reached 55%!
The "Instant Shadow Slash" that originally had a cooldown of 12 seconds now only needed 7.7 seconds!
In addition, Qin Feng's Constitution, defense, and health points were all higher.
"51 points of Constitution, 106 points of physical defense, 1517 points of health!"
"With these attributes, I can even survive two or three attacks from the Golden Arthropod just now."
"As for the half-health full-screen skill of the Level 5 Golden Ghost Ship, it can't kill me either."
"Moreover, I still have a passive 75% dodge rate."
Qin Feng put away his backpack.
Half of the few backpack slots were filled again...
It was only then that Gray Rose caught up with her remaining three teammates.
When she saw the corpse of the "Golden Arthropod" lying in front of Qin Feng, she was indescribably shocked!
"Big shot is indeed a big shot. He really solo-killed this boss."
In Gray Rose's beautiful eyes, there was a look of admiration and expectation: "How about it, big shot? Are there any equipment or skills that I can use? I'll buy them!"
"For mages, there's a Gold-level skill book, 'Ice Bolt Bounce'."
Qin Feng took a look at his backpack and took out a skill book with an ice-blue cover, showing it in front of her: "It's a group skill. Release ice balls that can bounce up to ten times... The price is 800 days of lifespan, fixed price."
The loot dropped by an 8-level boss, and the usage requirements were between levels 6 - 8.
This "Ice Bolt Bounce" skill book was a level 7 skill book.
The higher the level of the skill or equipment, the higher the stats naturally were!
For the same Gold-level skill, the level 7 "Ice Bolt Bounce" dealt over 40% more damage than the level 5 one.
Of course.
The same skill couldn't be learned twice. Only a higher-level one could overwrite a lower-level one...
"Eight hundred days. That's too expensive..."
Gray Rose had a bitter smile on her face.
But looking at the attributes of the skill book that Qin Feng took out, she didn't really want to give it up. After all, this "Ice Bolt Bounce" skill would greatly speed up her leveling speed!
When encountering a large group of small monsters, this skill would deal explosive damage!
Finally, after considering for half a minute, Gray Rose found her teammates again and borrowed all of their lifespan.
"Eight hundred days. Deal!"
——
[You have lost the 'Ice Bolt Bounce (Gold-level skill book)'!]
[You have gained 800 days of lifespan (tradable)!]
——
When the system prompt came, Qin Feng turned around and left.
He planned to go back to the town and post a message to buy the location information of Silver-level and Gold-level bosses.
He would offer 30 days of lifespan for Silver-level bosses and 100 days for Gold-level bosses.
In this way, Qin Feng would have an endless stream of bosses to kill and his development speed would be maximized!
It was only after Qin Feng killed the "Golden Arthropod" and sold the "Ice Bolt Bounce" that he received a private message from Wang Meng.
"What the hell? Qin Xiaoyou wants to give me a Bronze-level skill book?"
Qin Feng was speechless and directly refused!
Now outside, most people were guessing that Shadow had killed Song Fei.
Judging from Qin Xiaoyou's personality...
If Qin Feng had killed Song Fei, Qin Xiaoyou would definitely fight Qin Feng to the death.
But if it was "Shadow" who killed Song Fei, Qin Xiaoyou wasn't angry at all and even wanted to give away a skill book?!
Could the double standard be any more obvious?
