Chapter 73: A Chance Encounter
The continuous prompt sounds made Jiang Cheng's face change slightly.
There is indeed a problem with the monsters here!
There are so many things that the system gives!
Normally, if you kill a sixth-order demon beast, the system will only reward claw coins x6, but this time it gave 12.
And the equipment and consumables that broke out were also a bit unexpected for him.
Jiang Cheng would not think that it was the conscience of the system and raised the explosion rate of the equipment.
This shows that the demon beasts here are very unusual, and their basic quality far exceeds that of the demon beasts outside.
In layman's terms, these monsters are equivalent to elite monsters, and the drop rate is naturally higher.
"Could it be that it has something to do with this blood mist?"
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, things were getting more and more complicated.
With a slight movement of his mind, a blood-red ring appeared on the ring finger of Jiang Cheng's left hand.
The ring is carved from an unknown bone, with an exaggerated shape that shimmers in the blood mist.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng's fingers are very slender and his bones are distinct, and he can completely control it with such a wide-faced ring.
[Equipment Name]: Lion Tiger Ring (Accessories are rare items)
[Equipment Level]: Silver
[Equipment Attribute]: Strength +20
[Equipment Passive]: Increases physical lifesteal by 1% after wearing.
[System recovery price]: 280 claw coins.
"Physical vampire?"
Jiang Cheng was slightly stunned, this bloodsucking passive was the first time he had seen it.
When attacking an enemy with a knife, it means that it can absorb some of its stamina and health.
The specific effect will be verified in the actual combat later.
took out the "Physique Strengthening Elixir" that had just dropped, and Jiang Cheng drank it all.
γDing! Physique Enhancement Elixir trial successful, Stamina +10 points, Strength +10 points. γ
In the end, Jiang Cheng stepped forward to dissect the corpse of the bloody lion tiger, cut out a few valuable materials, and put them in the storage ring.
Although Jiang Cheng has made a lot of money in the Aragami Jungle, who would think that he has a lot of money, it is good to take this opportunity to accumulate some more wealth.
After sorting out the loot, Jiang Cheng withdrew from the blood mist and joined Luo Fansong and Luo Shuang.
"Don't tell me, this defensive coat is pretty good."
Luo Fansong sighed that this coat was much more practical than he imagined in terms of defense.
The surface of the jacket is sealed to prevent the erosion of poisonous insects and rain, and the helmet also has a respiratory filtration function.
You must know that in the forest, the deadliest thing may not be a fierce demon beast, but a small poisonous insect.
If the blood mist just now had toxins attached to it, then this coat was equivalent to saving their lives.
"Well," Luo Shuang nodded with a smile, "I can see that we are still quite valued, and with such good equipment, the cost of this coat should not be low." β
At this point, all the martial arts candidates went deep into the cave, like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no trace.
β¦β¦
Cave No. 1, inside the tent.
Many military personnel and teachers gathered and watched the display screen in front of them.
The communication watches that are equipped with the students have a camera function, so where the students are and what they are doing, they can see it clearly.
"This swordsman is so strong, his speed of penetrating is the fastest, and he killed two sixth-order demon beasts on the way, he is worthy of being a famous genius in Kyoto."
Pang Xiu sat on the chair and said with a smile.
It was the first time that the passage had suddenly turned into a whirlpool, and they had already made several attempts since the students left.
This vortex is like a spatial wormhole, seemingly leading to an unknown place.
Throwing a stone into it will be swallowed up in an instant, and it will disappear without a trace.
They also caught a small demon beast nearby and tried to experiment with it.
But just like a stone, as soon as the monster touches the vortex, it will be sucked in and disappear into the vortex.
They had no choice but to complete the invigilation task first.
The matter of the vortex must have been known outside, and it will definitely find a way to rescue.
"Jianchen is the only son of the Kyoto Sword Family, this kid is really good, he was originally sent by the Tianlan Academy, but the national reform, this is why he participated in the martial arts examination."
The teacher on the side chimed in.
"There is also Lu Xiaoyue from Tianfu Middle School, her strength is not lower than that of Jianchen, and her points are closely behind Jianchen."
"But I'm still the most optimistic about Yan Simiao of the Yan family, the Yan family's bloodline is relatively special, not only can cultivation get twice the result with half the effort, but the actual combat ability is also much stronger than ordinary people."
"And Yan Simiao's current team should be the strongest team in this martial arts examination, there are five people in total, all of them are sixth-order strength, if these people give up their points to Yan Simiao, then he must be the first."
"Hmm."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, agreeing with him.
Almost everyone's eyes were on the screens of these geniuses.
β¦β¦
The three of Jiang Cheng bypassed the blood mist and changed their route to continue deeper.
"Brother Cheng, I feel a little uneasy."
Luo Fansong patted his chest and said with a frown.
At this moment, a purple leopard covered in scaly armor sprang out of the jungle ahead.
"It's like an electric leopard! How is it different from the textbook? β
Luo Shuang muttered to herself.
The leopard had slender limbs, a ridged beard, and no hair, replaced by a thick layer of scale armor.
The scales are haunted by pale blue arcs, giving them a futuristic feel to cyber machines.
The scales on the back of the neck stood upright, and two purple markings were pulled from the corners of the eyes to the corners of the mouth.
The two big eyes of the copper bells glowed with a faint cold light.
Like the bloody lion tiger, this leopard's body is also a little bloody.
Jiang Cheng hurriedly checked the details of the leopard.
[Demon Beast Name]: Electric Light Leopard (Second Turn)
[Level]: Mid-4th Order
[Combat power]: 48953
[Skills]: Biting, Lightning Arc, Extreme Speed, Concealment
[Features]: The second turn of the demon beast in the cave, the strength is doubled, the monster beast known for its speed, is the shadow killer in the cave.
From time to time, the electric leopard let out a strange oozing cry, jumping from tree trunk to tree at a breakneck speed.
Every time I landed, the trunk of the tree under my feet was blackened.
"The appearance is a little different from that of an ordinary electric light leopard, and the strength should be around the fourth order."
Jiang Cheng said: "This leopard will be left for you to practice." β
"Okay."
Luo Fansong and Luo Shuang nodded.
Jiang Cheng stepped back and gave the two of them room to fight.
The strength of this electric leopard is not very strong, and there should be no problem in handing it over to the two.
Luo Fansong's weapon is a shovel, which is very much in line with his identity as an earth-based ability.
"Luo Shuang, you are the main attacker, I will cover you!"
"Good!"
The water vapor gathered around Luo Shuang and quickly condensed into two ice swords.
As if sensing Luo Shuang's hostility, the electric light leopard preemptively swooped down on Luo Shuang.
It is extremely fast, leaving a string of purple afterimages in the air.
Luo Shuang hurriedly dodged sideways, and was able to avoid the bite of the electric light leopard.
Woo!
Taking advantage of the gap when the electric leopard landed, Luo Shuang's long sword slashed forward.
However, the electric light leopard is worthy of being a speed-type demon beast, and it reacts extremely quickly, and the moment it lands, it uses its claws to resist the ice sword.
The claws collided with the long sword to produce an air explosion, and Luo Shuang's feet ploughed far away, and the tiger's mouth was a little numb.
But the electric leopard ignored Luo Fansong on the side, only to see the ground tremble, and the claws that the electric leopard had just landed were deeply sunk into the soil.
Whew!
The electric leopard struggled through the clay, trying to break free of its claws.
"Originally, you were in the tree, and I couldn't help you, so you had to jump to the ground."
Luo Fan Songyin smiled.
Continue to exert your strength and let the electric leopard sink deeper and deeper.
Shout! Shout!
Luo Shuang, who was repulsed, threw out the two ice swords in his hand and inserted them into the body of the electric light leopard with precision.
The electric leopard burst out with all his strength under the pain, and flung it at Luo Fansong with its bare tail.
Boom!
The tail whipped around Luo Fansong's waist and flew him straight out.
Fortunately, Luo Fansong released an earth shield at a critical moment, and coupled with the cushion of the defensive suit, he actually didn't suffer much damage.
But this tail interrupted Luo Fansong's spell, and the ground under his feet instantly froze, and the electric leopard struggled to jump out.
At this time, the electric leopard had two ice swords inserted in his body, and blood kept flowing.
The Electro Light Leopard's fierce and bloodthirsty eyes swept over the three people present, and finally stopped at Jiang Cheng, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Then he turned around and was about to run away.
"Still want to run?"
Luo Shuang's five fingers were weakly grasped, and the ice sword inserted in the electric light leopard's body kept churning in its belly.
"Whew!"
The electric leopard was in pain, looking up to the sky and howling.
Gradually, the roar stopped, and the electric leopard collapsed to the ground.
Luo Shuang walked forward, pulled out the ice sword, and the sword light flashed, and the head of the electric leopard was cut off.
"It's a good fit."
Jiang Cheng applauded on the side, "Your strength is very good, if you kill a few more fifth-order demon beasts, the points of the four universities should be stable." β
Decomposing the materials of the electric light leopard, the three of Jiang Cheng continued to go deeper.
In the next few hours, they encountered a lot of fourth- and fifth-order demon beasts along the way, and Jiangcheng gave them all to Luo Fansong and Luo Shuang.
This made the points of the two rise slowly, and they have ranked in the top 100 in the country.
It's not that they kill too fast, it's that those students don't dare to do it at all.
They're all flowers that grew up in a greenhouse, and although they've awakened their abilities, they've never really been in combat.
There are even some people who have not seen the monster with their own eyes, but have only seen the video from the Internet.
These students were still in high spirits at first, but when it came time to meet on a narrow road, they must have escaped.
Only when you are forced to have no way out, will you muster up the courage to fight against the monsters.
Among them, some of them had poor psychological quality, and they were directly scared back to the entrance of the cave and lost their qualifications for the exam.
Compared with students who have never seen blood, Luo Fansong and Luo Shuang can be said to have a lot of practical experience.
Jiang Cheng and the others came along the way and met many injured students.
The students supported each other, very embarrassed, but did not quit and still insisted on earning points.
The talents of this year's students are not bad, but their hearts are uneven.
The three of them continued to move forward, and suddenly there was the sound of Jin Ge ringing in front of them.
I saw a clearing in front of me, and a team of eight people was besieging a giant ape.
The team members are no strangers to them, and the leader is Zhao Qian, the squad leader of Jiangcheng.
Jiang Cheng and the three of them stood in the shade of the tree, watching Zhao Qian and the giant ape fight.
This giant ape has the strength of about the fifth order, and it is a little panicked under the siege of everyone.
Eyes look around, ready to run away.
