162: The Beast of the Barren Mountain (2/3)

great wilderness stone and star fragment.

Li Si knew about the star fragment; it was in the City Lord's Treasury. However, the City Lord's Treasury had already been sacrificed, so the star fragment was gone.

As for the great wilderness stone, Li Si had never even heard of it.

First, go to Tianzi Number One to check.

If there's no news, then go to Da Yi Village to inquire.

As a village within the Da Huang Mountain, the residents of Da Yi Village should have heard of the great wilderness stone.

"Whoosh—"

Li Si had already arrived at Tianzi Number One.

"Alisa, do you have star fragments?"

"How many do you need?"

"100 pieces."

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained item: star fragment x 100.]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! Your weapon—battle star heavy mountain shield has been upgraded to Level 2.]

[Congratulations! Your weapon—battle star heavy mountain shield has been upgraded to Level 3.]

[Congratulations! Your weapon—battle star heavy mountain shield has been upgraded to Level 4.]

......

The forging technique activated the Sky Flame, melting the star fragments into liquid, which slowly flowed into the shield....

Soon after, the battle star heavy mountain shield reached Level 100.

[Ding!]

[Upgrade failed!]

[Unfortunately, your weapon—battle star heavy mountain shield, can only be upgraded to a maximum of Level 100.]

As expected!

The limit for Mythical-tier weapons was Level 100.

However, Li Si was already very satisfied.

Compared to a Level 1 battle star heavy mountain shield, its base attributes had increased tenfold at Level 100.

With a crisp "clack" sound.

The battle star heavy mountain shield reappeared in the equipment slot.

Li Si's attributes soared.

The data panel was like a mighty river, "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...." rapidly surging upwards.

Max Health: 42,605,141.

Armor: 1430. (Physical damage taken reduced by 93.46%)

Magic Resist: 1404. (Magic damage taken reduced by 93.35%)

......

Everlasting City, southeast corner.

Da Yi Village still retained its ancient charm, with wisps of cooking smoke drifting in the air.

"Greetings, Village Chief." The white-haired old man immediately knelt upon seeing Li Si.

"Do you know about the great wilderness stone?"

Li Si wasted no words, asking directly.

"I do."

The old man nodded, then said, "There are many great wilderness stones in the Da Huang Mountain. However, each great wilderness stone is guarded by a fierce beast."

"Alright, you all should cultivate well."

Li Si activated his Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking, looking over the Da Yi Villagers.

Level 36 Purple Lord.

Level 38 Gold Lord.

Level 37 Purple Lord.

Level 38 Purple Lord.

......

In less than a day, the Da Yi Villagers' levels had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The lowest were now Level 35 Purple Lords.

The highest had already reached Level 45, on the verge of advancing to Epic Monarch.

"The Everlasting survivors are indeed talented!"

Li Si felt a pleasant surprise.

At this rate, it wouldn't take two days to complete the Great Wilderness Archer's third advancement quest.

"Great Teleportation Technique!"

The surrounding space vibrated slightly, and a deep pit appeared in his vision.

This was the trace left by Alisa relocating Da Yi Village.

"East, West, North, South."

Li Si randomly chose a direction.

Following the uneven mountain path, he walked eastward, and before long, he found a great wilderness stone.

Just as the old man said, the great wilderness stone was guarded by a fierce beast.

[Savage Black Gold Monkey] (Epic Monarch)

Level: 60

Health: 290,000,000

Attack: 4100

Armor: 300 (Physical damage taken reduced by 75%)

Magic Resist: 300 (Magic damage taken reduced by 75%)

......

The attributes of the Savage Black Gold Monkey BOSS could only be described as decent.

For ordinary players, it might be very high.

But in Li Si's eyes, it was already an ant.

Senior, fellow daoist, ant. Those weaker than him were collectively referred to as ants.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...."

A single Phantom Sword Dance instantly achieved a one-shot kill.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained material—great wilderness stone.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained spoils of war: 15,000 Gold Coins, Weapon—Savage Black Gold Halberd (Legendary), Armor—Savage Black Gold Armor (Legendary).]

Not bad.

The kill rewards were quite good.

Wind-Treading Tiger's experience bar increased by one-thousandth.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have killed the Great Wilderness Savage Serpent.]

[Congratulations! You have killed the Ferocious Sword Dragon Hu.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained material—great wilderness stone.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained material—great wilderness stone.]

As time passed, the great wilderness stones in Li Si's backpack grew more and more numerous.

Three hours later, he finally reached 100 pieces.

"OK, that's enough."

Just as he was about to activate his skill to return to Divine Smith Valley,

A glimmer of light caught his attention.

"Stepping Sea Wind Walking."

"Boom!"

Air currents surged, and Li Si ascended into the air, flying towards the glow.

His eyes immediately lit up—

A fruit that increased permanent attributes.

[Great Wilderness Earth Vein Fruit]: After consumption, permanently increases base health by 20,000 points, armor by 10 points, magic resist by 10 points, and all damage reduction by 2%.

"All damage reduction?"

After all damage reduction exceeded 30%, the Limiter became increasingly difficult to trigger.

Upon seeing the all damage reduction at this moment, Li Si was immediately overjoyed, Flash-ing forward to pick the Earth Vein Fruit.

"Gulp ~"

A crisp, sweet, and sour bite.

Base Health: 7,269,025.

Max Health: 42,814,560.

All Damage Reduction: 39%.

The feeling of attribute improvement was very comfortable, and Li Si couldn't help but smile.

"Boom—"

The Da Huang Mountain vibrated violently.

The ground cracked.

A colossal figure appeared between heaven and earth.

[Wild Mountain Giant Beast] (Legendary Monarch)

Health: 19,080,000,000

......

"Roar!"

The hundred-meter-tall Wild Mountain Giant Beast roared at Li Si: "Ant! How dare you steal my fruit! Die!"

"Boom!"

The Wild Mountain Giant Beast raised its truck-sized palm and slammed it down at Li Si from above.

Li Si chose to take the hit head-on, activating Great Wilderness Divine Power.

This was a contest of strength.

"Boom!"

A dull rumble echoed, and the shockwave overturned all the large trees.

Li Si was sent flying hundreds of meters.

The Wild Mountain Giant Beast remained motionless.

In terms of strength, he was inferior to the Wild Mountain Giant Beast.

- 0!

- 1064! Godslayer True Damage

- 4,281,456! Skill - Life Scourge

The first damage number was Li Si's damage taken.

All remaining numbers popped up above the Wild Mountain Giant Beast's head.

In terms of damage dealt, Li Si was completely victorious.
