104: BOSS line up to offer treasures, Menglei Guild seeks revenge

“heart of molten lava?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian’s face also lit up with joy.

Because this item was so famous, he had heard about it when he was buying equipment at the Auction House before.

Due to its extremely low drop rate, some people were even offering a high price of 200,000 gold coins to acquire it.

200,000 gold coins was equivalent to 2 billion human currency.

It was already two-thirds of Qin Tian’s initial wealth when he first arrived here.

This was another benefit of not directly killing the BOSS; equipment and items were no longer random drops.

There would be no situation where after finally and painstakingly killing a BOSS, only to have a pile of trash drop, causing one to suffer a brain hemorrhage from anger.

Qin Tian took the heart of molten lava from the Magma Giant’s hand.

It was a heart completely enveloped in golden flames, larger than an average person’s head.

It thumped violently and rhythmically.

【heart of molten lava】: Mythic Item

【Effect】: Permanently reduces Fire attribute damage taken by 50%, and permanently increases Fire attribute damage dealt by 50%.

Seeing the effect of this heart of molten lava, Qin Tian also understood why this item was worth 200,000 gold coins.

This item was simply the bane of Fire attribute attacking monsters, directly reducing the opponent's damage by half.

Giving this item to a large group of Defense Warriors would directly lower the difficulty of dealing with Fire attribute BOSSes by several levels in the future.

When the BOSS deals less damage, the healing pressure is sharply reduced, and even if the damage is a bit lower, they can still grind through it.

Moreover, this item is not only useful for Defense Warriors, but also for most mages specializing in fire spells, and even professions whose skill damage is primarily Fire attribute; they all need it.

That’s a 50% damage increase, which becomes more obvious the later it gets.

100 damage and 150 damage only differ by 50.

However, between 10 billion damage and 15 billion damage, there is a difference of a full 5 billion damage.

And the most crucial point is that this item is an accessory and does not occupy an equipment slot.

It takes effect immediately upon use.

And it’s a permanent effect.

Qin Tian held the heart of molten lava in his hand and used it directly instead of putting it into his inventory.

【Successfully used heart of molten lava, Fire attribute damage taken permanently reduced by 50%, Fire attribute damage dealt permanently increased by 50%】

As the game prompt sounded, Qin Tian felt a warmth, and even the beating of his heart became more powerful.

Qin Tian then took the experience orb from the Magma Giant’s hand and put it into the xi liu ring.

“You may leave.”

Qin Tian looked at the Magma Giant.

However, the Magma Giant showed no intention of leaving; instead, it quickly ran to the side, clearing the space in front of Qin Tian.

“Next one.”

The Magma Giant looked at the BOSSes lined up, actually acting as a palace eunuch.

It wasn’t that it lacked courage, but Qin Tian’s displayed strength was too terrifying. It was afraid Qin Tian would come looking for it again, so it just had to perform as best as it could now.

Qin Tian saw this and couldn't be bothered to intervene.

The next one to present a treasure was none other than the Ice and Snow Queen.

In addition to the experience energy orb, the Ice and Snow Queen also contributed a skill book and a Legendary-grade staff.

After all, as an outdoor BOSS, Legendary-grade equipment was pretty much the limit.

To obtain higher-tier Epic or Mythic items, one could only go to Nightmare-level super-difficult dungeons, or complete some extremely difficult hidden rare quests.

As for forbidden holy items, Qin Tian only had two, and they were obtained by accident.

Qin Tian quickly scanned the staff's attributes, which were decent, and put it away.

What interested Qin Tian more was the skill book the Ice and Snow Queen gave him.

【Ice and Snow】: Legendary Skill Book

Effect: After use, master the Ice and Snow skill LV1.

Learning Condition: Intelligence 30000

This skill was precisely the Ice and Snow Queen's signature skill, Ice and Snow.

Qin Tian no longer had attribute restrictions for learning skills; although the display of needing attributes 100 times higher for learning still existed, it was now merely a formality.

Qin Tian directly used the skill book, and instantly, among countless skills, one more appeared.

Ice and Snow: Deals (Intelligence X1 + Magic Attack X0.68) damage per second to enemies within a 10-meter radius, reducing their movement speed and attack speed by 20%.

There is a certain probability to apply the Ice and Snow effect to enemies, dealing (Intelligence X0.5) damage per second per stack, up to a maximum of 20 stacks.

Current Level: 1 (Max Level 30)

This skill was very useful for Qin Tian now and could be used on the National War battlefield.

Although the current range is only 10 meters.

However, the current skill level is only 1.

With the Billion-Fold Upgrade talent, Qin Tian could quickly raise it to max level.

At that time, the range would certainly be more than just 10 meters.

After accepting the Ice and Snow Queen’s offering, the Ice and Snow Queen retreated, and at the Magma Giant’s summons, the next tiger monster, completely encased in ice, quickly followed…

And so, under the Magma Giant's command, the BOSSes, one after another, very orderly presented experience orbs, various powerful equipment, and items to Qin Tian.

None of the BOSSes who had completed their offerings left.

Are you kidding? The Magma Giant, the most powerful among them, was announcing here; which one of them dared to leave first?

“Someone’s here, I’ll go check.”

The Ice and Snow Queen suddenly spoke from the side. Her Frost Guard had sent her a message, informing her that enemies had invaded the Ice and Snow Palace.

After the Ice and Snow Queen finished speaking, her figure had already vanished.

Intense sounds of battle came from outside the main hall; clearly, the Ice and Snow Queen had already engaged the invaders.

Not long after, a figure swiftly flashed into the main hall.

It was the Ice and Snow Queen, but her current state was not very good; her health had already dropped by more than half.

“What’s the point of running inside? Is there someone stronger than you in there?”

“Hurry up and hand over Qin Tian! Do you think you’ll be fine just by hiding inside after killing our Meng Lei Guild’s President?”

“Brothers, let’s kill them together! Kill the Ice and Snow Queen and Qin Tian, and force out the forbidden holy item on him!”

…

Shouts came from outside the main hall, followed by heavy footsteps.

Countless figures rushed in, one after another.

However, upon seeing the situation inside the main hall, the people at the very front froze on the spot.

As a result, they directly blocked the entrance to the main hall, preventing everyone else from moving forward.

“What are you guys doing? Hurry up and get in there, flatten the place! It’s just an outdoor BOSS and a player, even if a few more come, they’re just cannon fodder.”

The voice of Zhao Jin, the Meng Lei Guild’s Vice President, sounded, pushing aside the people blocking his way.

He walked in with extreme arrogance.

To avenge Dream Tear, and even more to seize the forbidden holy item from Qin Tian.

Zhao Jin brought all the remaining members of the Meng Lei Guild, and also gathered his four subordinate guilds.

In total, a team of nearly a thousand people.

This was the advantage of outdoor combat, unlike dungeons which have player limits.

With so many people, they could sweep through everything in the wild.

“Wh-what’s going on?!”

Zhao Jin, who had entered the main hall, finally saw the scene before him.

Qin Tian, sitting on the Ice and Snow Throne, looked at him with an indifferent expression.

Near Qin Tian, hundreds of BOSSes stood to the side, all looking at Zhao Jin with unfriendly expressions.

“Magma Giant, Frost Tiger King, Gale Barbarian Ox…”

“When did BOSSes start forming teams?”
