31: Arrow of the Wilderness

Great Wilderness Divine Power

You have received the divine blessing of the 800 billion Da Huang Mountain.

① Attack Limit +10%;

② Armor Penetration +10%;

③ Your attacks are overbearing and possess a powerful knockback effect. This effect can be toggled on or off at will.

Description: Knockback effect, forces the target to retreat, related to the attack power of both sides. The greater the attack difference, the more pronounced the knockback effect.

"....Explosive!"

The effect of Great Wilderness Divine Power was abnormal.

Attack Limit, Armor Penetration.

These two noble percentage bonuses alone were already incredible. What's more, there was a third effect: attacks come with knockback, which means every attack can include a crowd control.

Truly good.

Li Si contentedly closed the talent interface.

Seeing him act as if there were no snakes in his eyes, the Water Lake Python was enraged. Feeling underestimated, its anger intensified.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

The Water Lake Python attacked suddenly, coiling its thick tail. Its massive body loomed over Li Si, striking down.

-215!

-500!

-215!

......

Normal attacks dealt 200 damage to Li Si.

Skill releases dealt 500 damage to Li Si.

The damage was not low, but it wasn't enough.

"Come on."

Come on, hit harder.

The physical damage reduction below 1000 points was only 30%, which was perfect for the Water Lake Python to help Li Si stack physical damage reduction.

"Ding!"

"Heaven Rewards Diligence: Through a fierce battle with the massive python, your Body has advanced."

"Physical damage below 1000 points reduced from 30% to 35%."

"Physical damage below 600 points reduced from 60% to 65%."

The first damage reduction corresponded to the python's skills, and the second damage reduction corresponded to the python's normal attacks.

Constantly taking damage.

The two major damage reductions rapidly increased.

It's true that bosses make stacking attributes faster....

At this moment, Li Si glanced at his health, which had already fallen below 30%. So he immediately used Flash to escape, then Ghostly Swift Steps to create distance.

+40!

+40!

+40!

The small health potions given at the start were used up, so he could only rely on automatic health regeneration.

"Class Panel." He also took this opportunity to check the attributes of the Great Wilderness Archer.

Li Si opened his class interface.

"Great Wilderness Archer" (First Advancement)

Quality: Mythical

Skills: "Wilderness Arrow - Body -- MAX" "Desolate Arrow - No Edge -- MAX"

Description: A peerless inheritance from the 800 billion Da Huang Mountain. Players will automatically complete their second advancement upon reaching Level 30 and unlock more class skills.

"....Hiss...."

Li Si took a deep breath.

The Great Wilderness Archer was actually a Mythical class, and its class skills started at max level.

He clicked on the first class skill.

"Wilderness Arrow - Body -- MAX"

Quality: Mythical

Passive: ① Attack Limit +10%, ② Critical Chance +10%, ③ Attack Range +20%, ④ Attack Speed +10%, ⑤ Movement Speed +10%.

Description: Wilderness Arrow, strengthens the body. In the 800 billion Da Huang Mountain, it subjugates demons and slays gods. To activate the Wilderness Arrow, one's physique must be unparalleled.

"Holy crap!"

Li Si couldn't help but exclaim. No wonder his movement speed had increased; it was due to the passive skill adding 10% movement speed. This series of percentage bonuses was truly amazing....

Then he clicked on the second class skill.

"Desolate Arrow - No Edge -- MAX"

Quality: Mythical

Active: Condenses a Great Wilderness Arrow to deal (Attack * 2000%) earth-element damage to a single enemy.

Requirements: 30 Mana cost, 5-second cooldown.

Description: Pure power crushing, heavy arrow without edge, great skill in simplicity.

"Awesome!"

The percentage of this active skill was unmatched.

2000%.

Twenty times attack power, and Desolate Arrow - No Edge's cooldown was only 5 seconds, with a mana cost of only 30 points, meaning it was a minor skill. A minor skill with such a high percentage was even more explosive.

Further down the attribute list, things started to get tricky.

"Second advancement at Level 30?"

How could I undergo a second advancement if I can't level up?

However, overall, Li Si was still satisfied. He had initially thought he would miss out on combat classes, but now he had obtained a Mythical-grade Archer. Even if he couldn't undergo second, third, or fourth advancements, it was still a huge unexpected surprise for him.

Health regenerated at 40 points per second.

Li Si waited patiently, and soon his health bar was full. He reappeared before the Water Lake Python and flipped it the middle finger.

"Come here!"

"Hiss hiss hiss...."

The Water Lake Python's temperament was extremely gentle; it obediently lunged at Li Si.

-176!

-436!

-176!

......

Normal attack and skill damage were significantly reduced.

"Keep stacking!"

Once, twice, thrice....

By the 10th time his health was full, the physical damage reduction below 600 points had stacked to 100%. By the 15th time his health was full, the physical damage reduction below 1000 points had stacked to 60%.

After that, his 20th and 25th full health recoveries, the Limiter still hadn't triggered.

"That's enough."

At this point, the Water Lake Python's mission was complete.

"Desolate Arrow - No Edge!"

Li Si attempted to use his active class skill.

"Boom!"

A massive yellowish-gray arrow condensed.

-13600! Critical Hit

One arrow hit.

It directly wiped out 30% of the Water Lake Python's health.

"....NB."

Li Si was silent, staring at his attribute panel over and over. His attack power was correct, it was 170 points.

How could he deal over ten thousand damage?

He silently calculated.

Monsters in Novice Village had no armor and no damage reduction, so the panel damage was the final damage.

Attack 170 points.

Skill 20 times, which is 3400 points.

Critical hit 2 times, which is 6800 points.

Where did the other 6800 come from?

At this moment, Li Si saw the weapon in his hand, the Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow, with the equipment effect "Great Wilderness Bow", increasing damage by 100%.

6800 * (1+100%)....

The final damage was exactly 13600 points.

"....:)"

Li Si was stunned.

The noble multiplicative calculation — — NB!!!

Especially the Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow, a mere weapon, actually directly added 100% damage. Was this still a Level 1 golden weapon? Aside from its low base attack, the Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow was simply a divine artifact.

Then, he used his bow as a sword to unleash his only two offensive skills on the boss.

"Phantom Sword Dance."

In an instant, 27 sword qi, like a fierce storm, assaulted the Water Lake Python.

-340!

-680! Critical Hit

-340! -679

-340!

Dense damage numbers swarmed out. The 27 sword qi strikes cumulatively dealt 11,000 physical damage, and Life Spirits Punishment triggered 9 times, cumulatively dealing over 6100 true damage.

"....BT!"

Releasing a single skill.

The golden quality Phantom Sword Dance, in terms of overall damage, was even higher than Desolate Arrow - No Edge.

However, Phantom Sword Dance's cooldown was as high as 20 seconds, four times that of Desolate Arrow - No Edge.

This was enough to shock Li Si.

Because Phantom Sword Dance's damage was based on attack speed, and at 2.76 attack speed, it was already so powerful. If this continued, when attack speed stacked to 5.5, wouldn't Phantom Sword Dance's power double?

What about 10.0 attack speed?

What about 20.0 attack speed?

Li Si had already imagined the future: gods reviving, natural disasters descending, all obliterated by a single Phantom Sword Dance from him.

What kind of magnificent scene would that be?

At that time, he would be treading on the corpses of gods, holding the heads of ferocious beasts, and if he were to utter an advertisement, "No gifts for the holidays this year, only Brain Platinum."

His bank card balance would at least surge by 1 billion.

"Wah ha ha ha...."

Thinking this, Li Si laughed.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

The Water Lake Python was even more furious now. That damned human dog dared to ignore its great python self.

"Boom boom boom...."

Its attacks became even more ferocious.

But it was useless.

Uh.... It still had some use; it allowed Li Si's physical damage reduction below 1000 points to stack to 65%.

"Rest in peace."

Desolate Arrow - No Edge's cooldown was complete.

Li Si, without hesitation, fired an arrow, emptying the Water Lake Python's life.

"Ding!"

"Killed Water Lake Python, experience increased by 20,000 points. Killing it while 19 levels higher grants an additional 20,000 experience points."

Forty thousand experience points flowed into his experience bar.

"Satisfying!"

Putting away the Water Lake Python's corpse, Li Si bent down to pick up the loot.

Two Level 20 blue-grade equipment pieces.

Players had just reached Level 20, so now was when these items were valuable. So, without thinking, he listed them for auction.

"To the blacksmith shop? Or clear treasure maps?"

At this moment, Li Si had two tasks: upgrade Blazing Sky Craftsman to LV3, and clear the Seven Stars Mausoleum treasure maps. He looked up at his equipment, which was empty save for the Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow.

Being naked wasn't an option; he should get a set of equipment first.

Easy and pleasant.

Li Si had decided on his next plan:

Go to the blacksmith shop to forge.
