Chapter 19: Don’t Pull Down My Pants! Stats Skyrocketing?
This scene nearly made Hao Yue Zheng Ba, who had just come to his senses, spew blood from anger!
He cast a glance at Su Nian, leisurely perched on the tree trunk, then shouted to the stunned crowd below, “Everyone, scatter and retreat toward the edge of the forest!”
His shout snapped most of them back to reality.
“Run, run fast!”
“Hey, don’t pull me!”
“Who stepped on my shoe? Damn it...”
“Don’t pull down my pants!”
Watching the chaotic crowd below, Su Nian shook his head and teased, “Only a handful are even worthy of the stage; the rest are just level four or five little Karamis with no skills. Might as well not resist pointlessly.”
“Look at Hao Ge, so clever, already setting out offerings for himself.”
That last comment was, of course, a silent jab.
At that moment, Su Nian noticed a faint green mist beginning to emanate from the surface of the Forest Serpent’s massive body. He quickly started climbing higher to the treetop above!
If he stayed still, it would be... over.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, before the fleeing players had scattered far, a howling gale arose!
The Forest Serpent vanished in an instant, transforming into a towering twenty-meter-high emerald tornado with a fierce suction force!
At the very moment this skill appeared, every player within a fifty-meter radius of the tornado’s center was sucked into the air by its overwhelming power.
An intense feeling of helplessness swept through every player present. This was undoubtedly a one-sided massacre!
As the giant tornado skill ended, only a scattered ten or so players remained on site; escape was out of the question.
[Forest Serpent killed a player…]
Hundreds of kill notifications appeared simultaneously.
Kun Ge cast a resentful glare at Su Nian before dying, his lips moving but no words escaping before he was gone...
Hao Yue Zheng Ba, a high-level, well-equipped big boss, struggled fiercely to stay in the top ten on the leaderboard!
But in the end, he was swallowed whole by the serpent.
Crack!
The protein content was ten times that of beef!
In contrast, Han Jiang Xue accepted reality calmly, standing still in place.
Before dying, she cast a long, puzzled glance at Su Nian in the tree, her eyes filled with many emotions.
After the Forest Serpent slaughtered Hao Yue Club and the others clean, Su Nian quietly climbed down from the tree and then...
Went on a frantic loot spree!
Three blue items, five green items.
Not bad, not bad!
“Hiss!”
Soon the Forest Serpent noticed the sneaky human behind it. It opened its blood-red maw, ready to swallow him whole!
Seeing this, Su Nian performed a backflip, easily dodging the attack!
He threw the serpent a disdainful look.
You’ve lost all your skills!
Still think you can catch up to me, the Bolt of the Divine Realm?
With over two thousand health and a movement speed of 5.5, do you think I’m playing around?
Besides, I’ve got Frost Spell, Healing Spell, and the Bloody Battle Suit skill up my sleeve. Forget about you little worm—other three bosses wouldn’t even stand a chance!
The Forest Serpent hissed and roared, its bloodshot snake eyes fixed on the damned human before it.
How dare he insult me?
A hungry dog in a latrine!
—Looking for trouble!
Yet in the end, the serpent’s twisting body veered left and right through the forest, narrowly missing a fatal trap Su Nian almost tied, but it still couldn’t catch the annoying human!
Su Nian stepped out of the forest, donned his mask, and opened his backpack to check his haul from this run.
Four blue items, six green items.
He sold all the worthless green gear, earning six gold coins, then headed straight for the Rock Cavern!
Meanwhile, in a novice village’s resurrection altar...
Hao Yue Zheng Ba stared at his dropped level and the three missing blue items from his backpack. His once elegant and amiable face twisted into a grimace!
He looked at Kun Ge beside him, who wore a sullen expression, and his voice lost all gentleness, turning ice-cold: “Announce to all major game groups! Whoever kills the emperor once and hands over the dropped equipment, I’ll give them one hundred thousand!”
“After that, ten thousand for each kill!”
“Alright, I’m on it!” Kun Ge responded. Then, shifting gears, he asked, “Boss, what’s our next move?”
Hao Yue Zheng Ba instinctively glanced at his level in the upper-left corner.
Seeing himself drop from the top ten to over three hundred on the leaderboard, he gritted his teeth and hissed, “What else? Level up!”
At this moment, Su Nian was still unaware.
A greater threat was quietly closing in!
But even if he knew...
He wouldn’t care.
By now, he had already increased his kill probability above five percent outside the Rock Cavern and was rushing inside at top speed!
Next...
The most anticipated moment was about to unfold!
After removing the two attack-boosting pieces of equipment, Su Nian looked at the massive Rock Beast before him, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
His staff shimmered with blue light!
[-36.]
[-40.]
[Talent not triggered...]
Perhaps he was lucky this time, or his kill probability had accumulated early, because within two minutes, messages began appearing!
[-69666.]
[Successfully triggered 100% kill talent, with boss first-kill damage ×2!]
[Ancient Necklace detected your outstanding damage. Would you like to set this damage as your maximum health?]
“Set as maximum health!”
Su Nian’s eyes brightened, eagerly replying.
[Ancient Necklace skill activated.]
[Setting successful.]
[Your current maximum health is: 77,952!]
Staring at the enormous number, Su Nian couldn’t help but feel excited!
His initial health was set at over seventy thousand, with equipment adding more than a thousand, plus an additional 10% from the necklace.
Looking at this massive health pool, Su Nian just wanted to ask: Who else could stand against me?
With this healing spell, he could restore over fifteen thousand health points in one cast!
In the entire early game...
Who could withstand that?
After a while, Su Nian’s racing heart gradually calmed.
Because he knew...
This was only the beginning!
At the same time, he eagerly anticipated how many underground levels he could storm through in the Treasure Grounds with his current stats.
That would have to be tested in person later!
Su Nian opened the loot notification:
[Rock Beast dropped: Lord’s Heart ×1, Gold ×70, Free Attribute Points ×10, Chest Armor (Blue) ×1.]
“Another Lord’s Heart?”
Su Nian raised an eyebrow but then suddenly seemed to realize something. His eyes flashed brightly!
