Chapter 25 - 23: Acquiring the Stealth Skill

Life and death at stake.Hang Yu actually tossed out a chicken leg!

But really, is eating a chicken leg a good idea at such a crucial moment?

Zhao Ming caught the chicken leg with a bewildered look and immediately noticed some information being transmitted.

[Roasted Mountain Chicken Leg], Level 1 ordinary food, Spiritual Qi +1, increases life limit by 5 points and duration for 10 minutes, with a Spiritual Qi absorption cycle of six hours.

Is this roasted chicken leg actually attribute-enhanced?

Zhao Ming felt very surprised about this.

Generally, low-level ordinary food doesn’t have enhancement attributes.

However, due to Pang Dahai’s talent skill effect, there’s a 5% chance during cooking to grant food enhancement attributes, which makes a few cooked dishes have beneficial effects.

This chicken leg was collected from the Mountain Chicken King by Hang Yu, and just happened to trigger the effect during Pang Dahai’s cooking, so it temporarily increases life limit.

It must be noted.

Old Zhao’s "Divine Steel Armor" shield total value is formed according to the proportion of total life value, while the shield defense strength is generated based on Old Zhao’s own defense, the higher the life and defense, the stronger the shield!

If you can temporarily increase the life limit by 5 points.

Not only will survivability drastically increase, but defense will also be enhanced.

Zhao Ming couldn’t afford to think much, he immediately devoured the chicken leg, and not long after, he felt a surge of power dispelling the original sense of weakness.

Can food disperse weakness?

Zhao Ming is astute.

He immediately recalled what Jiang Nan had said earlier, that after Hang Yu returned to the real world, he was slaughtering mountain chickens wildly, perhaps because he realized this?

Now is not the time to think about such things.

The Goblin Warrior’s life value was less than 5 points, immediately entering a frenzy state, skin color changing from green to red, movement speed sharply increased, but it was still to no avail.

The Goblin Corpse Thief Captain performed a stealth backstab, reducing the Goblin Warrior’s life to zero, as a summoned monster it wouldn’t drop items, so its body disintegrated into light and vanished in the air.

Fortunately, Hang Yu was already prepared on this side!

Although the Goblin Corpse Thief Captain easily defeated the Goblin Warrior, it also suffered a bit of damage, significantly alleviating the pressure on the four of them.

In fact, the Goblin Corpse Thief Captain isn’t much different from a regular Goblin Corpse Thief, just having higher life, stronger output ability, slightly faster speed, and better alertness and reconnaissance.

Precisely because of this.

He was able to quietly approach while none of the four noticed.

If it wasn’t for Hang Yu’s constant vigilance and sharp observation, noticing the sudden footprints on the ground, the four of them would have faced total annihilation without doubt.

Zhao Ming attracted the damage, Jiang Nan was in charge of healing, while Hang Yu and Zhang Xiaoqiang handled the output, even though the Goblin Corpse Thief Captain had extremely high attack power, Zhao Ming’s equipment was enhanced, now with a life limit of +5, enough to maintain balance.

Eventually, the Goblin Corpse Thief Captain couldn’t escape the same fate as its companions, falling to the ground under a fireball shot by Zhang Xiaoqiang, dropping a plethora of items.

"That was close!"

"This guy was tough!"

"If the fight had lasted another two to three minutes, we certainly couldn’t have sustained it!"

Everyone had a look of lingering fear, this encounter was truly too dangerous, thanks to Hang Yu’s saving the situation, otherwise everyone would have been doomed.

A Great God is definitely a Great God!

Jiang Nan had now elevated Hang Yu to the level of worship!

Hang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately walked to the Goblin Corpse Thief’s body to check on the loot dropped by the level 3 Bronze Elite, his eyes directly caught by a bright white light ball.

Bronze Elite has a higher probability to drop white equipment.

Though generally what drops is dark white equipment, occasionally light white equipment, but as for the very best bright white, the drop rate is extremely low.

He immediately checked the bright white light ball, showing a look of great joy!

[Combat Professional Skill Stone: Stealth], Scout Inheritance Fragment, required level 1, learning requires consuming 50 Spiritual Qi.

It’s out!

Finally it’s out!

The main purpose of Hang Yu coming to the Goblin Burial Ground was to try and get this skill stone, and when he was disappointed and even about to give up, didn’t expect it to appear at the last critical moment.

This skill is very useful in the early stages.

With it, many plans can be successfully implemented!

The Goblin Corpse Thief Captain lives up to being the strongest elite on the perimeter of the Burial Ground, with drops noticeably richer than that of ordinary elite monsters, besides breaking out a skill stone due to good fortune, it also dropped two white items and one gray item.

[Worn Goblin Captain Trousers], Level 3, White Lower Grade Quality, Physical Defense +3, Agility +1, (taking back to the real world requires consuming two White Crystal Stones)

[Worn Forest Warlock’s Staff], Level 3, White Lower Grade Quality, Magic Attack +3, Spiritual Power +2, Durability 10. (taking back to the real world requires consuming three White Crystal Stones)

[Potion Formula: Goblin Agility Potion], White Lower Grade Quality, contains the secret recipe for brewing Goblin Agility Potion, learning condition: Intermediate Medicine Refining Skill.

Plus three White Spirit Realm Crystal Stones.

The day is getting late, and today’s adventure has been a complete success.

The four of them took out all the spoils, and in total, they had the following items.

White Crystal Stones, 74 Gray Crystal Stones, 7 pieces of White Equipment, 6 pieces of Gray Equipment, 8 Medicine Refining Formulas, and 1 Skill Stone.

Everyone knows the Skill Stone is the most valuable.

Although everyone was very tempted by the Skill Stone,

they also knew that the skill was for Hang Yu, and it had to belong to Hang Yu.

Hang Yu took the Skill Stone and most of the Crystal Stones, including 10 White Crystal Stones and 50 Gray Crystal Stones. As for the formulas, he took the Goblin’s Spirit, Life, and Pain Relief Potion Formulas.

Zhao Ming, Jiang Nan, and Zhang Xiaoqiang equally divided the remaining 6 White Crystal Stones and 24 Gray Crystal Stones.

As for the other five Medicine Refining Formulas?

Jiang Nan took two Medicine Refining Formulas, which were the Life and Spirit Formulas.

Zhao Ming and Zhang Xiaoqiang, who are now in the same company, took the remaining three formulas — one Spirit Potion Formula, one Pain Relief Potion Formula, and an additional White Quality Agility Potion Formula.

Hang Yu took the absolute majority share.

The total number of Crystal Stones he possessed reached an astonishing 12 White Crystals and 51 Gray Crystals.

Taking into account that the three contributed significantly, he decided to make some concessions in equipment distribution, taking only the Dark White Equipment[Goblin Captain’s Leather Pants], and an ordinary Gray Equipment[Goblin Thief Mask].

The other 6 pieces of White Equipment and 5 pieces of Gray Equipment were distributed among themselves.

Jiang Nan acquired a White Equipment Necklace and a pair of White Equipment Shoes.

Zhang Xiaoqiang took a Level 3 Dark White Equipment Forest Warlock’s Staff and a Dark White Garment with good attributes.

Zhao Ming got the most equipment; he changed his helmet and clothes to White Equipment and also wore a pair of Gray Equipment Shoes.

Overall,

The items the three received certainly did not compare to Hang Yu’s share.

But no one would be dissatisfied with such a distribution, knowing that with their current level and equipment, they are already ahead of 99.99% of players. Without Hang Yu’s leadership, could they have laid such a good foundation?

Hang Yu used the Skill Stone.

This Skill Stone was quite tricky, as it required the consumption of 50 Spiritual Qi.

Originally, Hang Yu already had 140 Spiritual Qi, only 10 points short of leveling up.

Now, it suddenly dropped to 90 Spiritual Qi, but it didn’t matter, as compared to the value of the skill, 50 points of Spiritual Qi seemed insignificant!

Hang Yu successfully mastered the Concentration Skill.

"Stealth Skill": Scout’s Inheritance Fragment, current skill level 1, Spiritual Qi (0/80), proficiency 300/300, highest skill level 3, consumes 5 points of Spiritual Power, enters stealth state, simultaneously increases movement speed by +3, casting time 1 second, maximum duration 15 seconds, cooldown time 35 seconds.

Hang Yu activated a stealth.

He instantly became transparent, disappearing in front of everyone’s eyes.

Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing this, "Awesome, this skill is freaking powerful, it’s simply essential for killing, burning, looting, and plundering!"

Jiang Nan disdainfully glanced at Zhang Xiaoqiang, "What kind of thoughts are in your head? Is the Great God that type of person? But this skill does look quite good!"

Stealth is actually considered the most basic skill in the camouflage and invisibility category.

When facing targets with high Spiritual Sense attributes, it is useless.

Because as you approach, you will be sensed by them.

Additionally, stealth cannot completely hide smells or traces, so it is equally dangerous when facing some very perceptive or keen-sensed monsters. However, generally speaking, this skill is very useful in the early stages.

The most important thing is!

Scout is the starting profession in a legacy sequence.

This legacy sequence is very strong, especially with several high-sequence professions in the later stages.

Hang Yu remembers that "Scout" is composed of three skill fragments: Stealth Skill, Throwing Skill, and Eagle Eye Skill.

Now, after putting in so much effort, he only got one skill fragment; to completely obtain the Scout’s profession legacy, there is still a long way to go!

......

The four ended the battle and returned to camp.

When they returned to the goblin camp, they were stunned.

Because the previously deserted goblin camp was now crowded with at least dozens or hundreds of people; they were obviously attracted by the light from the camp from nearby.

Scanning the area.

There were men, women, old and young.

The vast majority were barely clothed, only able to use large leaves to weave garments to barely cover themselves, so when they saw the four relatively fully equipped individuals walking into the camp from the forest, they couldn’t help but show expressions of shock.

Those gazes were clearly the looks of worshiping the Great God!
