228: Chapter 228 Green Wood Staff, Spiritual Protection

"Come out and pick up the loot!" Xiao Niao shouted to Hu Gualing and Tang Yao, who were hiding in the cubicle. He couldn't help but trot excitedly toward the corpse of the Millennium Tree Demon.

Although Hu Gualing and Tang Yao couldn't see the final scene of the BOSS's death from inside the cubicle, they had received the game notification of the BOSS kill the moment it died. Naturally, they knew this battle had finally been won by sheer luck, and they walked out of the cubicle to check the spoils.

"Holy crap!" Hu Gualing was instantly stunned.

This Millennium Tree Demon had dropped three light orbs at once, meaning three items. It was the same number of items dropped by the Mutated White Wild Boar they had killed in the center of the hall earlier, but while the White Wild Boar had dropped only blue light orbs, there were two blue ones and one purple one right in front of them!

"A purple light orb!" Hu Gualing exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

At a glance, purple was clearly a tier higher than the blue fine quality.

However, when Hu Gualing looked closer, he discovered that this purple light orb was embedded in the tree trunk and couldn't be easily retrieved. It seemed to be a type of item, like Materials, that would require some effort to harvest, so he wasn't as eager and began by checking the other two blue items.

First was a staff that was entirely cyan-green, as if made from a section of vine. The staff body looked as smooth as jade, seemingly flowing with a faint watery luster, while the head of the staff was carved with a totem of a lush, leafy tree. The leaves were vivid and lifelike, seemingly trembling gently. A gemstone flashing with green light was embedded in the staff body, giving off a feeling of vitality.

[green wood staff (Fine Quality)]:

Equipment Type: Staff. Attributes: Magic Attack 3-5, Mental Energy + 3. Durability: 25 / 25.

Equipment Description: This is a staff made from Materials taken from the trunk of a tree that has grown for a thousand years. It possesses impressive magic bonus effects. After equipping it, one can gain a certain increase in Mental Energy. At the same time, the staff also comes with impressive magic attack power, allowing the user to have a certain amount of combat capability during battle.

Trait: [Natural Nourishment - Passive] - The green wood staff contains the natural power of trees; the user's affinity for nature is increased, and the user's healing skill effects are increased.

"Good grief, it's actually a staff. I thought it was a walking stick!" Hu Gualing couldn't help but complain after seeing the attributes of the 'green wood staff'. After all, in his mind, this Fantasy Jianghu was a Wuxia-style game. When a wooden staff-type piece of equipment suddenly appeared in front of him, the first thing he thought of was naturally an exotic weapon like a walking stick; he hadn't expected it to actually be a staff for a mage.

"Take it."

Hu Gualing handed the 'green wood staff' to Xiao Niao.

Xiao Niao accepted it, rightfully so. After all, among the three of them, he was the only one who had unlocked a blue bar now, so this staff naturally belonged to him.

Moreover, this 'green wood staff' also had the trait of increasing healing effects; it was practically tailor-made for him!

Xiao Niao stroked the smooth, green jade-like staff body, a blissful smile appearing on his face.

The second light orb dissipated to reveal the item inside: a book.

The cover had the four characters 'Spirit Shield' written in black simplified Chinese characters. It looked like another skill book. In the center of the book cover was a mysterious deep blue magic circle pattern, and the pages emitted a faint white light. The entire skill book gave off a mysterious, exotic aura.

[Spirit Shield (Blue Fine Quality) - Skill Book]

Item Description: This is a fine quality skill book. After using it, one can master the powerful Spirit Shield skill. In battle, the user can stimulate their own Mental Energy to form a protective light shield around their body, which has a strong defensive effect against physical attacks, magic attacks, and mental attacks. The defensive effect is related to the user's Stamina and Mental Energy values.

This second item was a precious skill book. After learning it, one could generate a protective shield around their body. Judging from the skill description, it should be similar to the pale white protective light shield that had enveloped the Millennium Tree Demon's body at the end; perhaps it might even be this very skill.

"What do you say about this skill? Are you taking it too?" Hu Gualing waited for Xiao Niao and Tang Yao to finish reading the introduction of the skill book, then waved the blue-covered skill book in front of Xiao Niao and asked.
