Translator: 549690339

Boom!

The surface of the Red Fire Beast’s body roared with pale red flames, its vitality points began to drop rapidly;

Whoosh-

Several spider legs fluttered ceaselessly, like long spears, relentlessly attacking Song Jian, creating a flurry of activity hard to follow with the eyes;

Rapid Sword!

The flying sword wielded by Song Jian swung into a series of afterimages, defending against the assault of spider legs relentlessly. The silver-glowing long sword left a deep mark on the spider leg with each impact.

However, the Red Fire Beast seemed not to feel any pain and continued to attack fiercely;

Plop-

After several defences, one spider leg finally broke through Song Jian’s defences, plunged mercilessly into his shoulder, and went right through his body;

Song Jian remained impassive, he flipped his wrist, a sudden flash of silver erupted, and the spider leg plunged into his shoulder was instantly severed, leaving a foot-long broken limb inside his body.

Biting down hard, Song Jian pulled the broken spider leg out of his shoulder. The fist-sized penetrating wound made Song Jian’s vitality points fall rapidly; Surgery!

A milky white light glowed on the wound. Almost instantly, the wound which had been gushing blood began to heal rapidly. But even before he could catch his breath, several other spider legs lunged at him again;

Song Jian flung his body backwards into a roll.

Plunk!

Several spider legs punched hard into the ground, piercing the hard concrete and exposing the black soil underneath.

The Red Fire Beast, wildly waved the remaining six spider legs, and charged towards Song Jian. It seemed resolved for mutual destruction. Just then, the struggling Black Dragon cub let out a roar. The originally sticky spider web gradually hardened under the influence of the air, almost like a thick cocoon, was torn apart by the Black Dragon cub.

The now freed Black Dragon cub rushed towards the lunatic Red Fire Beast, a hot mass of Dragon Breath spewed out from its mouth, burrowing into the back of the Red Fire beast like maggots in bone.

The intense pain made the Red Fire Beast emit a harsh cry and ferociously smash into the tunnel on its side;

Rumble-

As if in an earthquake, the whole tunnel began to shake mildly.

The Black Dragon cub pounced on the Red Fire Beast, its dragon claws plunging into the body of its adversary while it constantly tore at the shell covering the Red Fire Beast’s body with its sharp teeth. The two creatures entwined and rolled together, emitting deafening roars.

Song Jian took a swift step towards the Red Fire Beast. The “Immortal Sword Body” state hadn’t yet faded, the long sword in Song Jian’s hand kept chopping on the body of the Red Fire Beast, absolutely fearless of the fire of vitality that was burning on the body of its opponent.

Crack-

Another spider leg was flung out. Song Jian’s long sword targeted the remaining spider legs of the Red Fire Beast. Once it lost these legs, the Red Fire Beast would be nothing more than a big ball of meat, devoid of any defense.

At the moment the “Immortal Sword Body” state disappeared, Song Jian had already cut off six of the Red Fire Beast’s spider legs, leaving only two barely supporting its body.

But it was no longer able to maintain its balance. Under the onslaught of the Black Dragon cub, it kept tumbling and rolling. Its resistance grew weaker and weaker.

Song Jian’s long sword kept stabbing into the body of the Red Fire Beast. Each impact made the beast let out a high-pitched wail. However, very soon, the beast’s cries grew lower and lower, and eventually, it lay on the ground gasping for breath and convulsed incessantly, no longer as frenzied as it was before.

The Black Dragon cub continued its attack relentlessly, and with the last claw swipe, a transparent flame ignited on the Red Fire Beast’s body.

Golden light simultaneously blossomed on the bodies of Song Jian and the Black Dragon cub. Both of them leveled up.

Song Jian leveled up to 13, and the Black Dragon cub rose to level 8;

Song Jian, now at level thirteen, added the newly obtained skill point to “Thick-Skinned”, promoting this innate skill to level 10.

The level ten skill “Thick-Skinned” enhanced his defense by 40%, resistance by 50%, compulsorily reducing 15 effective damage points. The resistance to negative states had also reached a very high level, where it could even completely immunize against low-level mental attacks.

Having reached level ten, it seemed that the Thick-Skinned skill had reached its limit. A “MAX” symbol appeared, and skill points could no longer be used for promotion.

However, a line “mixture” appeared behind the skill description. After reading the details, it was found that when any skill reaches level 10, it cannot be promoted further with skill points. But, two level 10 skills can be combined to form a new one. Whether this new skill would be stronger or weaker was anyone’s guess.

“There must be some rules to mixing skills, but I have too few skills and a low level now, so it’s not the right time!” thought Song Jian.

At level thirteen, he could wear the Scorpion Beast Helmet. Song Jian immediately put on this blue-quality helmet, and his attack power increased significantly.

The Red Fire Beast dropped three items. Among them was a silver-quality equipment of level 15, and the remaining two items were forging materials of level 20.

Song Jian picked up the equipment and saw that it was pet equipment of level 15 with a silver glow. He felt a bit disappointed;

“Spider Spear Armor (Silver), pet equipment, equipment effect: Physical defense +10, Magic resistance +8, Bounce + 3; Special effect 1: Healing (passive), when vitality points drop below 30%, there is a certain chance to recover 15% vitality points after being injured; this special feature can be triggered only once every 10 minutes; Special effect 2: Spider Spear (passive), when attacking the target, there is a chance to create 1-8 illusions of Spider Spears to attack with the pet; the number of spears is random, they last for 30 seconds and disappear after 30 seconds; this feature can be triggered only once every 10 minutes; Equipment condition: pet level 15; Can it be taken out of the game: No”

Seeing the armor emitting a silver light, the Black Dragon cub’s eyes showed a curious look. It constantly poked it with its right claw, seemingly eager to wear it. However, due to its insufficient level, no matter how much it tried, it couldn’t get the armor on. In a fit of frustration, it cried out loudly at Song Jian and kept wheeling around at his feet.

Song Jian couldn’t help but laugh. He put the Spider Spear Armor into the carry-on bag, stroked the head of the Black Dragon cub, and said, “If you want to wear it, level up quickly. Only at level 15 can you wear this armor!”

Only then did the Black Dragon cub calm down. It folded its wings and stood by Song Jian’s side.

“It’s time to unlock that golden treasure chest!” Song Jian’s gaze was directed towards the golden glow at the end of the tunnel.

“This is the first golden-quality item I’ve earned myself. I hope it’s a piece of equipment!” Song Jian thought to himself as he walked towards the chest.
