Chapter 10: Demonization
Ian was given a deer antler, which was so beautiful that it could be hung on the interior wall as a decoration, and the deerskin could be crafted into a new Molotov cocktail.
Ian thought that deerskin should be able to replace bandages when dried, and even if it didn't, it could be made into quivers.
After killing the Demon Mushroom Deer, the other two monsters besiege Ian.
The monsters in the Shadow Forest are the only ones that fear fire.
The flames of the torches are far from being reinforced, which means that the only way to end the battle quickly is to use Molotov cocktails.
Consume two Molotov cocktails and kill monsters to get 100 lottery points, this deal is earned, after all, Molotov cocktails can be remade.
Ian leapt from the tree, Molotov cocktail in hand, and threw it at the demonized wolf from a long distance.
Smack——!
The flames of the Molotov cocktail spread in an instant, and the demonic wolf screamed in pain, and the demon mushrooms on his body erupted with purple spores.
【-289! -25! -25! …… (Critical Attack, Burn)】
Ian's movements were so fast and crisp that he seriously injured the other demonized wolf again.
He pulled the mandala bow full, dozens of meters away, and aimed at the demonized wolf on fire.
The demonized wolf was fleeing at a rapid pace, its entire figure scurrying in the darkness like a ball of fire.
A moving target is difficult to target for an unskilled archer, but Ian is by no means the archer who is born in his hands.
He closes one eye and unleashes the skill:
"Hunt marker, launch."
The hunter's marking skill marks a clear white cross on the demonized wolf's body, which looks very conspicuous.
[If you mark an enemy, you will continue to gain the target's vision and increase the accuracy of the arrow for 60 seconds.] 】
Ian took a deep breath and loosened his grip on the arrow.
Whoosh——!
The arrows made of the wolf's teeth flew out like lightning, like a flash of light in the darkness, and flew in front of the demonized wolf in an instant.
Terrified, the demonized wolf forcibly changed the direction of his escape but failed, and was pierced through the chest by the arrow, falling to the ground.
【-219! -372! (Critical Attack, Critical Hit)]
Ian extracted it immediately.
【Rewards: EXP x45, Draw Points*50, Demon Wolf Fang*1, Demon Wolf Skin*1】
Ian took out the Molotov cocktail and recast it to kill the last monster, easily collecting experience points and lottery points.
[Kill the Carrion, Get Rewards: EXP *45, Draw Points x50, Carrion Bones*4]
【Unlock Dungeon Story: Demonization】
[The erosion of the power of the shadow is particularly mysterious, people don't know where this power comes from, it is regarded as the "murderer who brings the dead back to life", it is the power of the shadow that causes the concept of death to be missing, and people have always believed so......]
[From the hunter's keen sense of smell, you discovered this piece of information, the power of the shadow is very similar to the power residue on the "Demon Snake Molt" you found, maybe they are somehow related. 】
[Hunting progress +10%, when the progress bar reaches 100%, you can directly lock the trace of the "Demon Snake". 】
After killing the Demon Wolf, the Hunter position received some information, and Ian took a closer look at it and used it as a guide to the hunting mission.
As long as he kills a target that is close to the Demon Snake, such as the one it has touched, the progress bar can be improved, and finally he can directly lock on to the Demon Snake and start the crusade mission.
The Demon Snake is a BOSS, it has the power of shadows, and it is a powerful monster of the Black Iron Sequence.
If you want to get stronger quickly, drawing in the prize pool is a good choice, but there is one drawback, that is, the randomness of the prizes is too strong.
The "Lottery System" allows you to draw items from the game.
Ian checked his lottery system, and he found that the games in it were more than just those he already had on his computer.
Even some games that he had only heard of, or had never heard of, existed in the system, as if they were automatically downloaded online......
To know...... The game is not only a triple-A masterpiece, but also butter or something.
Ian didn't dare to guarantee that his next lottery would get a black hole that destroyed the galaxy, a hypnotic phone, or a Fujitsu pseudo-device......
In case of some kind of perverted prop in the lottery, his innocence will be completely declared crematorium.
Ian lights a new torch and walks through the Shadow Forest.
The number of monsters is skyrocketing, the collective mind of the Shadow Forest is enraged by the flames, and many demonic thorns are growing out of the soil.
"Woooooooo
Some demonized wolves have reappeared in the darkness, and they are the goal of Ian's mission.
The third task in the first phase of "Novice on the Road" needs to kill 30 demonized wolves, and 13 have been killed so far.
Once completed, you can claim a stage reward, and Ian is looking forward to the reward.
Ian has gradually become proficient in dealing with demonized wolves, and no longer needs to consume Molotov cocktails.
Pull the mandala bow to the fullest, aim at a running demonized wolf, and give it a headshot!
【-290! -187! (Critical Attack, Critical Hit)]
The demonized wolf flipped three times in the air and fell to the ground unconscious.
Ian was about to take out the demonized wolf with a single arrow when his movements suddenly stopped.
In front of his eyes, a blood-red window popped up in front of his eyes.
[There are other players in the dungeon, and you have a small chance to meet the player directly.] 】
A simple sentence to tell Ian about his current condition.
He'll have to get rid of the wolves quickly and get ready to face the player.
The difficulty of the "Shadow Forest" dungeon is very low, and the players who enter it are not much stronger.
Ian weaves his way through the demonic wolves, using "sloppy crafting" to get arrows and fire them with a mandala bow.
In this way, he quickly accumulated nearly 1,000 points, and his level was upgraded to level 2.
【Upgrade!】 Current level 2, gain 2 free attribute points, gain 2 skill points. 】
Attribute points mainly increase strength and agility, and skill points can be used to enhance the effect of skills, or to learn new skills.
Ian kept the skill points for the time being, extracted the demonized wolf corpse present, and obtained some wolf tooth materials and a dagger weapon.
[Name: Demon Wolf Dagger]
[Source: Demonized Wolf (Shadow Forest)]
[Level: 4]
[Damage: 150~211 (Physical Damage)]
[Effect: When attacking an enemy, there is a small chance that it will bleed.] 】
[Description: If you like melee.] 】
Of course, Ian is not a melee, but he has a "Mandala Bow" with no level requirements, which can give him combat skills, which is much better than a dagger!
Put away the loot and bow the mandala behind your back.
The Mandala Bow from the Monster Hunter World grants him some of the Hunter's abilities, such as climbing and fighting skills......
Ian chooses a thicker tree and climbs up quickly, prioritizing high ground so that he can spot the location of hostile players in advance.
The dungeon portal may be opened in multiple player worlds at the same time, and since the other party chooses to enter, the level will not be very high.
Just then, Ian heard the screams of a demon wolf in the distance.
Bright red light exploded from the darkness, carrying a bloody aura, a picture similar to the special effects of the movie, which made Ian guess.
The hostile player is the "magic side", which is probably a class similar to that of a mage.
"Whoosh-"
A black shadow teleported from the light to the clearing in front of Ian, and it was a black-robed man.
He also carried the head of the demonized wolf in his hand and a bright red spear in his right hand.
There was a tiny crackle of lightning near the spear, which looked particularly strange.
The black-robed man glanced at the scene and noticed the ashes of the demon wolf killed by Ian.
He looked up, his gaze locked on Ian in the tree for a moment.
At this moment, Ian's entire body seemed to be frozen.
He's exposed!
Hostile players have some kind of radar ability, or have an unusual perception.
The enemy raised his hand, condensed a bright red liquid, and threw an attack at Ian.
This time Ian understands the composition of the spear, it turns out to be blood, and the enemy can condense the blood into a spear!
Ian stepped back and dodged, aimed his bow at the enemy's head and fired a wolf-fang arrow, then leaped nimbly to the trunk of another tree.
