Chapter 91 - 89: Are There Hidden Treasure Chests?

The Corpse Witch felt quite frustrated.This human is simply like a pesky plaster!

He clings to me tightly, no matter what, I can’t shake him off, and there’s no chance to attack others either.

The only way to disperse Hang Yu.

Is to use the Death Howl skill.

Even though Death Howl is very powerful, its cooldown is longer than Horror Howl. Although Hang Yu is not a Holy Professional, thanks to his Magic Resistance, this skill has limited impact on him.

The Corpse Witch couldn’t hold out any longer.

Another Healing Skill landed on him.

It swiftly replenished 9 points of Life Energy lost by Hang Yu.

Hang Yu has acquired attribute boosts through Elf Breath and is always in a state of five-layer stacking, so currently, all his attributes are increased by 25%, with great increases in strength, speed, and reaction.

He blocked the Corpse Witch’s staff strike with a shield.

And pierced the Corpse Witch’s neck with a spear.

Quickly withdrew it, then stabbed the chest again.

Both attacks caused a total of 14 points of damage.

The Corpse Witch had only about ten points of life left, which meant he was already on the brink of death.

However, the Death Howl skill had already cooled down, giving the Corpse Witch one last chance to counterattack Hang Yu. If he could stack a few more layers of ghost flame on Hang Yu, there was a chance to burn him to death.

But just as the Corpse Witch opened his mouth, ready to howl.

Hang Yu didn’t give him the chance, he put away his shield, jumped high like a slam dunk master, held the spear with both hands, and fiercely stabbed down, piercing through the Corpse Witch’s skull which was comparable to steel.

A deadly weak point strike occurred.

Leaving the Corpse Witch’s life at zero in an instant.

This powerful Golden Elite Monster fell just like that.

Once the Corpse Witch was eliminated, the Demon Crow would be summoned back, but there would be a delay of a few seconds.

"Caw!"

The dying Bloodthirsty Demon Crow let out a loud screech, having only a single-digit life remaining under Xiaoqiang’s attack.

The pitch-black crow began to emit a red glow all over.

Like a meteor, it shot towards Hang Yu.

This was the Bloodthirsty Demon Crow’s "Demon Crow Self-Destruction"!

Although the Bloodthirsty Demon Crow was level 3, it was an Elite Monster, and if its self-destruction succeeded, its power would be greater than the zombies exploded by the Corpse Explosion Technique.

Hang Yu was prepared.

A cold gleam waved out from his hand.

The crow was swiftly struck by a flying knife, shattering instantly into a skyful of black feathers, then dissipating into the air, leaving only one shiny white item dropping... With this, both the Corpse Witch and the Demon Crow were wiped out.

Hang Yu, Jiang Nan, Zhao Ming, and Zhang Xiaoqiang each gained over twenty points of Spiritual Qi in an instant, even Young Master Cong got ten points.

The Corpse Witch dropped five items.

The Demon Crow dropped one item.

All were shiny white!

"Wow, we did it, we succeeded!" Jiang Nan was so thrilled she almost jumped up, "The Great God defeated a Golden Elite Monster, it’s practically making history!"

"It’s not one person’s credit, I couldn’t have defeated it without everyone’s full support," Hang Yu was quite humble, then he turned the conversation, "Come, let’s look at the loot!"

The stronger the monster, the better the drop.

This could be said to be a golden rule!

This time, six shiny white quality drops were enough to prove this point.

[Spiritual Professional Skill Stone: Fear Technique], Psychology Apprentice inheritance fragment, learning requires consuming fifty points of Spiritual Qi (bringing back to the real world requires consuming five White Crystal Stones)

[Outstanding Corpse Witch’s Staff], level 4 equipment, White Upper Grade Quality, Magic Attack +3, Magic Effect +4, Soul Power +1, Spiritual Sense +1, Durability 20 (bringing back to the real world requires consuming eight White Crystal Stones)

[Outstanding Bloodthirst Ring], level 4 equipment, White Upper Grade Quality, Bloodsucking Attack +2, agility +1, Durability 20 (bringing back to the real world requires consuming seven White Crystal Stones)

[Shadow Corpse Witch Necklace], level 4 equipment, White Upper Grade Quality, Dark Attribute Magic Attack +5, Intelligence +1, Durability 20 (bringing back to the real world requires consuming seven White Crystal Stones)

[Spirit Beast Contract Scroll], White Upper Grade Quality, a scroll used to contract Spirit Beasts, can contract Spirit Beasts not exceeding level 5 (bringing back to the real world requires consuming five White Crystal Stones)

[First Tier Dark Magic Stone], premium material, can add up to 3 points of Dark Attribute Magic Attack effect to equipment.

Although the six items differed in variety.

They were undoubtedly all top-grade.

Including one Skill Stone, three pieces of Equipment, one Contract, and one Enchantment Gem, they are all extremely valuable at this stage.

The Fear Technique is a skill fragment from the Spiritual Profession series called "Psychology Apprentice" inheritance, and the sequence of the "Psychology Apprentice" inheritance is quite good.

The effect of the Fear Technique is to plunge the target into fear, thus causing them to lose combat ability. Hang Yu, Zhao Ming, and the others have experienced it, it’s really a very annoying negative BUFF.

This skill is as valuable as Stealth!

It’s very useful whether for farming monsters or in combat!

The three pieces of equipment that dropped are all level 4 top-grade equipment, it’s a pity that since the Corpse Witch is mainly a magic-series monster, the equipment dropped, except for the Bloodthirst Ring, are all magic profession or spiritual profession equipment.

Hang Yu’s luck wasn’t bad either.

Although the Demon Crow didn’t drop a more precious Spirit Beast Egg, it did drop a Spirit Beast Contract Scroll, which was one of the items Hang Yu needed to obtain on this trip.

Lastly, there was a Dark Gem, an enchantment material, that can be used by Enchanters to enhance equipment attributes, from a materials perspective it’s still quite good.

Additionally, the Corpse Witch dropped nine White Crystals at once.

This haul was absolutely worth it.

The group took a little rest.

Old Zhao’s wounds were gradually healing.

The previously broken shield and armor were also self-repairing.

He glanced at the attributes and felt a little pained, "My shield and clothes lost three points of durability in a day."

Three points of durability were lost in a day.

At this rate, the equipment will be damaged very quickly!

Generally speaking, when equipment durability gets below thirty percent, there will be an attribute reduction. Should the equipment’s durability be completely exhausted, it will collapse and become scrap.

Of course.

The consumption of durability is related to the way of combat.

Usually, equipment from the Spirit Realm is durable, but such severe damage in this battle consumed a lot of energy during its self-repair process, naturally reducing its durability.

"There is a hidden door here."

Hang Yu discovered the mechanism in the Corpse Witch’s hall.

He used the mechanism to open a hidden door.

A hidden passage appeared before the five of them.

Inside the narrow passage neatly lay four coffins, different from those in the hall, these coffins emitted a radiance similar to Treasure Chests.

There seemed to be a kind of magic power.

That was drawing them to open it.

"Hey, could these be the legendary hidden Treasure Chests?" Zhang Xiaoqiang’s eyes lit up, "It’s reasonable that defeating a BOSS-level monster should come with Treasure Chests, just didn’t expect there to be four! We’re going to skyrocket this time!"

Wang Cong’s eyes went wide: "The BOSS drops were already generous enough, how can there be Treasure Chests as well, it’s too exaggerated! And there are four!"

He was very jealous!

Very, very jealous!

Today’s run has been incredibly rewarding!

The issue is, during distribution, none of these things had a share for him.

The hardest thing in this world is watching others enjoy a feast while you can only watch with an empty stomach.

Hang Yu’s gaze swept across the four of them.

Jiang Nan puffed out her chest, eager to try.

She thought, based on last time’s experience, the Great God would surely ask her to open the chest, as her face was the fairest among them!

Yet Hang Yu set his gaze on Wang Cong.

"Young Master Cong, given your decent performance just now, I’ve decided to give you the chance to open the Treasure Chest. If you manage to get something good, it’s yours."

"Really? You better not go back on your word!"

Young Master Cong was overjoyed at hearing this.

He could finally get a share of the loot, so he eagerly ran into the passage, rubbing his hands, ready to open the coffin Treasure Chests.

Xiaoqiang quickly said, "Go for it, Young Master Cong!"

Jiang Nan frowned slightly, hesitating to speak.

Hang Yu winked at her, making a hush gesture.

Zhao Ming noticed Hang Yu’s small action, and when he looked back at the excited Young Master Cong, he showed a playful smile.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Young Master Cong is still too young!

He should have thought for a bit, is there really such a good thing? Everything comes with a price!
