161: A mysterious reward: The Heart of a Giant!

Stepping into the tomb, it was pitch black inside.

The space within was exceptionally vast, with the surrounding walls coated in a viscous liquid.

Torches hung on both sides; Lin Yue grabbed one and began scouting the surroundings.

To go deeper, he had to enter a sinkhole that appeared bottomless.

Descending through the sinkhole, Lin Yue arrived at the first floor of the tomb.

As soon as he landed, several monsters began approaching him.

The monsters were surprisingly large; at first glance, Lin Yue could only see their legs.

Looking closely, they were as tall as a five or six-story building.

Their legs, in particular, were exceptionally long.

Long-Thighed Giant (Normal Boss): Level 60

health: 38.6m / 38.6m

Attack Power: 41,548

Skills: Double Thigh Heavy Strike, Sea Tower, Seventy-Two Successive Kicks.

He didn't expect a Normal Boss to appear right at the start.

With thirty million health, its attack power was relatively low.

This level of attack power posed absolutely no threat to Lin Yue.

Just as Lin Yue thought this, seawater suddenly surged in from the surroundings.

Lin Yue immediately used Thunder Tyrant to attack the four Long-Thighed Giants in front of him.

After the seawater neared the two of them, it surged upward, surrounding them completely.

A powerful suction force constantly pulled at them. Although Lin Yue had the heart-protecting mirror, the persistent control effect still had a significant impact on him.

The four Long-Thighed Giants leapt high into the air, aiming a flying kick at the two of them.

At that moment, Cai Wenji brought out her musical instrument.

Exclusive Skill: Forget-Worry Melody!

A soul-refreshing sound flowed from Cai Wenji's fingertips, and Lin Yue was instantly freed from the seawater's influence.

His movement speed increased directly to 144 points. This buff was quite terrifying, especially since it was a percentage-based increase.

In other words, as Lin Yue's base movement speed increased, the effect of this buff would become even greater.

A forty percent increase in movement speed was truly formidable.

Lin Yue's damage also received a boost, increasing directly by twenty percent.

Originally, Lin Yue's Thunder Punishment could deal 1.14 million damage; with the twenty percent increase, it reached 1.42 million damage.

Most importantly, this wasn't a single-target skill, but an area-of-effect skill.

This meant Cai Wenji could support multiple people simultaneously.

As expected of a King-rank support; she was truly powerful.

Freed from the seawater's control, Lin Yue pulled Cai Wenji and quickly dodged the incoming flying kicks.

He continuously cast Thunder Tyrant, creating a localized thunderstorm.

...Even though these four giants had nearly forty million health, far exceeding bosses of the same level, they couldn't last through twenty Spell attacks from Lin Yue.

To Lin Yue, these four bosses were dealt with in a single encounter.

After finishing them off, Lin Yue searched the area carefully to see if there was anything special.

Afterward, Lin Yue proceeded to the next floor.

Just like before, it was a straight vertical sinkhole.

As soon as he landed, Lin Yue felt something staring at him.

Lin Yue threw a fireball behind him, and a miserable scream immediately rang out.

By the light of the fire, Lin Yue saw a giant eye.

The owner of this eye was also a massive giant.

Seeing the new monster, Lin Yue attacked rapidly.

Lin Yue immediately used Thunder Tyrant, instantly dealing twenty million damage.

Lin Yue didn't stop there; he killed the boss before he even finished his five-skill rotation.

The poor One-Eyed Giant was killed by Lin Yue before it even had a chance to use a skill.

It took less than a second, leaving behind only a pile of heart of forging.

There wasn't just one One-Eyed Giant; Lin Yue quickly moved against the other two.

The result was obvious; he killed them very quickly.

After another inspection, Lin Yue entered the third floor.

On this third floor, there was only a massive stone statue, over a hundred feet tall.

In front of this statue, Lin Yue appeared incredibly tiny.

The statue had four pairs of giant hands, each holding a weapon.

Some were longswords, others were giant axes, all different.

There was nothing else around; only this statue stood tall in the center.

Suddenly, the ground shook and the mountains trembled.

Countless rocks fell from above Lin Yue's head, and dust filled the air everywhere.

A cracking sound echoed as cracks appeared across the stone statue.

Eight-Armed Giant (SS)

health: 645m / 645m

Attack Power: 780,000

Skills: Trample (Stun), Rise from All Sides, Heavenly Demon Chaos.

A boss with health as high as six hundred million—the last one like this was the Advanced Lord of the Goat tribe.

However, that opponent's attack power was nowhere near this high; the difference was several-fold.

With the Eight-Armed Giant's attack power, it would be a nightmare for players if it were in the outside world.

Right now, probably no one could withstand its attacks, except for Lin Yue, of course.

A boss with six hundred million health completely exceeded the health range of current Advanced Lords.

Only Level 70 or even Level 80 Advanced Lord bosses could likely compare to it.

Lin Yue opened with Thunder Tyrant, continuously attacking the Eight-Armed Giant.

"Wenji, do it!"

Cai Wenji quickly used her exclusive skill, Forget-Worry Melody.

Immediately after, she followed up with High Mountains and Flowing Water.

After the Forget-Worry Melody buff was enhanced, a connection suddenly appeared between Lin Yue and Cai Wenji.

Lin Yue could clearly feel a surge of majestic energy pouring into his body.

Lin Yue's attributes rose rapidly as he gained Cai Wenji's attribute bonuses.

The Eight-Armed Giant moved very quickly; a blade strike nearly hit Lin Yue.

Lin Yue's damage was also enhanced, with a single skill now dealing two million damage.

-2.06M

-2.06M x2

...The Eight-Armed Giant's health was decreasing rapidly as endless thunder roared above its head.

In one second, with a Casting Speed of 10.0, Lin Yue could throw out ten skills.

And those ten skills took away more than half of the Eight-Armed Giant's health.

After just a few exchanges, the Eight-Armed Giant turned into a pile of heart of forging and vanished.

"Ding! Congratulations on killing the SS-rank Eight-Armed Giant. You have obtained the mysterious reward: giants heart!"

giants heart: Upon use, increases maximum health by 10%, grants 20% damage reduction, and increases dual resistances by 100%.

Lin Yue looked at this final mysterious grand prize, feeling quite excited.

He knew that he didn't lack damage or health right now; what he needed was dual resistances.

And this giants heart could even increase damage reduction by twenty percent; just thinking about it was thrilling.

With this buff, the current Lin Yue could no longer be described as simply terrifying.

Furthermore, that 10% maximum health increase would directly boost Lin Yue's maximum health to ten million!
