I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 61: Traveler’s Residual Spirit
What the hell? Charging like a wild boar?
Rogel was slightly surprised.
It seems that the monsters on the second level not only had improved attributes but also possessed hidden skills.
The monsters on the first level could not compare to them.
Rogel silently noted this.
After slaying the Treasure Box Monster, Rogel did not engage with the five Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned.
His second target was the three Dead Abandoned Archers in the back.
Targeting the core in team battles is a very simple principle.
Thus, using his speed, Rogel constantly drew the aggro of the five Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned and dodged the arrows flying from afar.
Seeing the distance was suitable, Rogel transformed into a cloud of black mist, leaving a shadow behind, and instantly appeared behind one of the Dead Abandoned Archers.
Backstab!
The Armor-Piercing Spear struck down sharply towards the neck of the Dead Abandoned Archer.
With a cracking sound, the neck of the Dead Abandoned Archer snapped, and it fell to the ground.
After a successful hit, Rogel did not rashly advance for more gains. He distanced himself, waited for the Fog Flash cooldown, then unhesitatingly turned into black mist to distance himself again and observe the situation.
Swoosh!
At Rogel’s original position, a Dead Abandoned Archer slashed down hard.
These Dead Abandoned Archers also had blades at their waists and weren’t sitting ducks just because they were approached.
However, once Rogel left, these Dead Abandoned Archers started drawing their bows again.
Slightly smart, but not overly so.
Rogel thought to himself.
While leading the five Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned, he observed the Dead Abandoned Archer whose neck had been snapped.
Though it couldn’t stand up again, its skull on the ground was still moving, the jaw opening and closing.
Indeed, it was not completely dead.
These Dead Abandoned must be a kind of undead creature.
Perhaps a special method is needed to easily kill them.
Finding an opportunity, Rogel stabbed down at the skull of the Dead Abandoned on the ground.
[You have slain a Dead Abandoned Archer, gaining combat experience.]
Breaking the skull can completely kill them!
Upon discovering this, Rogel sighed with relief.
If these Dead Abandoned could endlessly revive like the bone-controlled monsters on the previous level, he’d have to prepare to run.
However, hitting the skull directly is a bit challenging, breaking the bones that support their movement with the Armor-Piercing Spear is also not a bad strategy.
After confirming his next attack strategy, Rogel began hunting calmly.
The second, the third.
Before long, three Dead Abandoned Archers lay on the ground, with only their skulls still moving.
Next up are five Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned.
This process is the most troublesome and dangerous.
Because the five Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned were so close, it was difficult to take them down one by one.
Rogel currently didn’t have any effective means to separate them, so he had to face them head-on.
Fortunately, his attributes were obviously higher than those of these Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned.
After losing nearly half of his health and undergoing a fierce battle, he finally managed to break the spines or necks of all five Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned.
By this time, Rogel’s game character was already bloodstained.
This was the first time he had been in such a sorry state.
He had no choice; after dealing with the three Dead Abandoned Archers, he ran out of uses for Fog Flash.
Moreover, after his Spirit and Faith ran out, the game character triggered the [Weak] state, significantly reducing all attributes.
Thus, after dealing with two Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned, he struggled to barely manage the remaining three in a direct confrontation.
"Can’t push forward any further."
The game character’s condition was already very poor.
Rogel prepared to completely deal with the Dead Abandoned, then return to recover.
Crackle...
After thoroughly crushing the skulls of the Dead Abandoned on the ground, Rogel gained a lot of experience again.
[You have slain a Dead Abandoned Archer, gaining combat experience.]
[You have slain a Dead Abandoned Archer, gaining combat experience.]
[You have slain a Dead Abandoned Archer, gaining combat experience, your level has increased!]
[Through lots of real combat, your Fog Flash skill level has increased, current level lv3.]
[...]
Amidst a series of kill prompts, Rogel began picking up the dropped items.
[You found Dead Abandoned Black Crystal ×1.]
[You found Skull Fragments ×3.]
[You found Dead Abandoned Spear ×1.]
A total of eight Dead Abandoned provided five drops, three of which were essentially useless skull fragments.
There’s one artifact and one weapon left.
[Dead Abandoned Black Crystal]
[Type: Special Material]
[Quality: Green]
[Special Effect: Embedding it in a weapon has a very small chance of bestowing a hint of the Power of Death.]
[Dead Abandoned Spear]
[Type: Weapon·Extraordinary]
[Quality: White]
[Attack Power: 7]
[Usage Requirements: Body 5, Faith 2]
[Special Effect: During a straight thrust attack, there is a small probability of triggering "Dead Abandoned Thrust", which has an extremely small probability of triggering "Death Descent" infecting the target with the Power of Death, causing their life to wither over time.]
[Negative Effect: Each time a straight thrust attack is used, the user is also infected by the Power of Death, and when it reaches a certain extent, the life will wither.]
[Explanation: Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned praised this spear for having no significant side effects.]
Rogel couldn’t help but frown at the Dead Abandoned Spear.
This special effect is like gambling, isn’t it?
A small probability within an extremely small probability, how low can that be?
The key point is that the weapon’s attack power is so low, it’s even worse than the weapons Rogel has forged.
And this explanation...
It’s because the Dead Abandoned are undead creatures that they’re not afraid of the negative effects, right!
To the storage it goes!
Rogel placed it into the Item Inventory.
Finally, he went to the drops of the Treasure Box Monster.
"Hopefully, it doesn’t drop junk again."
The last time he encountered a Treasure Box Monster, it dropped a pile of trash with no useful equipment.
[You found Traveler’s Residual Spirit ×1.]
[You found Wailing Scarecrow ×1.]
This time, the Treasure Box Monster only offered two items.
Rogel initially thought they were just more useless junk, but when he saw the information on these two items, his eyes brightened.
[Traveler’s Residual Spirit]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Quality: White]
[Special Effect: May upgrade a life skill below level five by one level.]
[Explanation: A traveler who wandered the world during its lifetime, knowing a little about everything, but only a little.]
Great item!
Rogel was slightly delighted.
Were it not for the influence of the Death Energy Black Robe, he would be very happy now.
After all, this artifact is genuinely important to him.
Because improving life skills takes a lot of time and effort, and using attribute points gained from leveling up feels like a waste.
Now, the appearance of this artifact comes just in time to solve Rogel’s urgent problem.
"I can use that weapon blueprint now."
Rogel thought to himself.
[Wailing Scarecrow]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Quality: White]
[Special Effect: Drip blood on the scarecrow’s head to create a puppet identical in appearance to the blood’s owner, existing for fifteen seconds. You can only control it to move or shout.]
[Explanation: A favorite toy of certain people, though the quality of this toy is obviously poor.]
