Healing to Kill

Jiang Chen continued to merge three more pieces of Bronze-level equipment.

The growth value of the Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball (Gold-level) increased to: 30/3000.

He discovered that upgrading the Magic Crystal Ball from Silver to Gold only required 300 growth points.

However, to upgrade from Gold to Platinum, it required 3000 growth points.

"If I want to continue enhancing its quality, I need 300 pieces of Bronze-level equipment. Force-feeding it now isn't worth it."

Currently, Bronze-level equipment was still mainstream.

Although the opening of the main city had increased the channels for acquiring Bronze-level equipment, causing a slight drop in prices at the marketplace, they still maintained a price of around twenty to thirty gold per piece.

Jiang Chen thought it would be better to sell them first and wait for the prices to drop in a few days before using them to feed the Magic Crystal Ball.

"Brother Mortal World, I can't hold on any longer!"

Qing Ying, who was still aggro pulling, shouted.

Behind her, more than twenty Demon Soldiers were relentlessly chasing her.

Dodging and drinking potions, Qing Ying's health was nearly depleted.

"Big Yellow!"

Seeing this, Tao Xiaoyao quickly summoned the Big Yellow Dog and ordered it to charge forward.

Although the Big Yellow Dog managed to pull a few monsters away, its positioning, defense, and health were far inferior to Qing Ying's.

The Big Yellow Dog was soon surrounded and beaten by the Demon Soldiers, collapsing to the ground.

"Come to me!"

Jiang Chen shouted, simultaneously casting the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array!

The Cold Frost Staff in his hand glowed brightly, and a twenty-meter hexagram array lit up beneath his feet.

Instantly, all the Demon Soldiers Qing Ying had pulled over had the same damage number appear above their heads: -640!

Moreover, the demons that stepped into the array were covered in a layer of white frost, slowing their movements.

"That was close, almost died!"

Qing Ying took the opportunity to escape the pursuit, patting her chest in relief.

A few seconds later.

All the demons fell to the ground.

The ground sparkled with loot.

Jiang Chen quickly picked up the items, filling his backpack once again.

A few pieces of loot were still scattered on the ground.

"Xiaoyao, my backpack is full. Pick up the equipment. Qing Ying, heal up and come over."

After giving instructions, Jiang Chen walked towards the black crystal.

Monsters were still spawning here.

Using Healing Spell and Healing Ray, he quickly dealt with four Demon Soldiers. Qing Ying, having healed up with potions, swiftly returned to the battlefield.

Continuing to aggro pull.

Soon, two more waves of demons fell to the ground.

Jiang Chen leveled up!

[Your level has increased to: Level 12!]

[Your Four Attributes +1 point, and you have gained 4 free attribute points.]

"All into Intelligence!"

Constitution: 21 (↑1)

Strength: 21 (↑1)

Agility: 21 (↑1)

Intelligence: 130 (↑5)

Spell Power: 330 (↑10)

The monsters in the Demonic Rift gave a lot of experience points.

Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao were also close to leveling up.

Meanwhile, Tao Xiaoyao picked up all the loot on the ground, her backpack nearly full.

Bronze equipment like Chinese cabbage?

The drop rate was ridiculous!

She looked at her backpack full of Bronze-level equipment, hardly believing it.

At this moment, they had only been in the Demonic Rift for 10 minutes.

[Infinite Challenge Quest completed! You can freely leave this Demonic Rift (LV10/A-rank).]

The system prompt appeared.

At the same time, a twisted space gate appeared before the three of them.

"We can leave now!" Qing Ying said excitedly.

"No rush."

Jiang Chen held Qing Ying back.

The two girls were puzzled.

Suddenly, the black crystal in the center of the rift shattered, and a red, ferocious-looking demon flew out.

It held a trident, had horns on its head, and a pair of crimson bat wings flapped behind it, keeping it suspended in mid-air.

[Winged Demon LV10 (Silver-level Elite)]

[Bloodthirsty Thrust: Leaps towards the target, performing a thrust with its weapon, dealing 300% damage and causing the target to bleed, reducing health by 100 points per second for 5 seconds.]

Silver-level elite monsters had a high chance of dropping Silver-level equipment in the rift!

Plus, with the 'Pathfinder' drop rate bonus of +50%, it was almost guaranteed to drop Silver-level equipment!

"Another piece of Gold-level equipment!"

Jiang Chen had already sentenced this elite monster to death in his mind.

As for the elite monster's skill [Bloodthirsty Thrust], Jiang Chen wasn't too concerned.

Relying on a 20% skill slow and 10% speed boost from his shoes, he was confident he could dodge with positioning.

Immediately, Jiang Chen activated the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array.

Healing Spell and Healing Ray were cast almost simultaneously.

Before the elite monster could even attack, three consecutive damage numbers appeared above its head.

-1320!

-1400!

-660!

The Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array and Healing Spell triggered the Magic Crystal Ball's double casting!

The elite monster instantly lost 3380 health points!

Meanwhile, the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array and Healing Ray continued to drain its health.

During this time, Jiang Chen easily dodged the elite monster's attacks with his positioning.

Thirty seconds later.

The second Holy Light Apocalypse Array cooled down, and Jiang Chen cast the array again.

The Silver-level elite monster with 30,000 health points fell to the ground.

As expected, a faint glow appeared on its corpse.

Jiang Chen quickly fed a few pieces of Bronze-level equipment from his backpack.

Then he picked up the elite monster's loot.

[Blood Armor (Gold-level): Defense +50.

Bonus: Constitution +15; Strength +15; 20% chance to trigger a healing effect when attacked, recovering 10% health per second for 10 seconds.

Suitable for Warriors, Knights, requires Level 10.]

[Sunlight Tassel Skirt Blueprint (Excellent): After learning the blueprint, you can craft Excellent-quality clothing 'Sunlight Tassel Skirt'. Only Tailors can learn.]

"This armor's healing... it's like having two lives, definitely a tank's dream gear!"

"And it also dropped an Excellent-quality costume blueprint!"

Two backpacks full of Bronze-level equipment, a Gold-level equipment, and an Excellent-quality blueprint!

Jiang Chen was extremely satisfied with this quest!

"Let's go out!"

Jiang Chen led the way towards the twisted space gate.

Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao followed closely behind.

The three arrived at the Nightmare Forest.

"Brother Mortal World, what should we do now?" Qing Ying asked.

"Let's head back to Giant Deer City and sort out the equipment first."

With that, Jiang Chen headed towards Giant Deer City.

Twenty minutes later.

The grand outline of Giant Deer City appeared before them.

Jiang Chen led Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao to the western gate.

Suddenly!

A group of figures emerged from the city gate, heading straight for Jiang Chen and the others.

"Helpful players?"

Seeing these people, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
