Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 376 Divine Dragon Barrier
"Shh!"

Golden light instantly flowed throughout his body, and he was resurrected on the spot!
Heartbreaking, the Holy Scripture of Resurrection - Part 1!

The moment he was resurrected, he immediately activated his invincibility without saying a word, and then unleashed a whole set of combo damage skills, even including the Ultimate Seventy-Two Slashes, dealing massive damage in one go!
Amidst the rapid, dense sounds of slashing, thirty-six sword lights erupted from the tree roots!

"Peng..."

A ray of deep blue light spread out, and under the onslaught of my two sets of extremely high-damage skills, the warp-space creature shield surrounding the Dragonvine Tree finally dissipated.

Become!

The sword light swept down, a rising dragon slash piercing the tree root, instantly cutting a wound nearly a meter deep. Fiery red sap flowed out, and the entire tree trembled slightly, finally breaking through its defenses!

Leave you!

The super suppressant in his left hand took the form of a very thick syringe, which pierced into the churning flesh of the Dragon Vine Tree with a "plop" sound, and then injected the entire syringe into its body!
"Oh……"

The dragon vine giant tree, which had been silent all along, suddenly let out an excited and deep shout, which sounded like that of an old man.

From the writhing wound, a wisp of morbid purple light rapidly spread, instantly enveloping the entire dragon vine tree and plunging it into a critical state!
[Please note that the Dragon Vine (Chaos-level, S9, Brown BOSS) has entered a state of disease suppression. Its life regeneration rate has been reduced to zero, and its chaotic psionic energy has been disabled for 360 minutes!]

Wow! The medicine lasts for six hours, that's enough!!

Without saying a word, I quickly drew my sword and began to strike, slashing at the trunk of the giant tree. Bark, red flesh, and wood chips flew everywhere, while at the same time, extremely high damage numbers appeared one after another, which was extremely satisfying to watch!

My single attack on the Dragonvine Giant Tree dealt approximately 4 damage, while the Fire Spirit's attack speed was 1.5 attacks per second. With the stacking of various skills, the damage per second reached at least 15 to 20. At this point, the Dragonvine Giant Tree's life regeneration had been completely locked by the suppression potion...

So it should only take about ten minutes to kill...

Real tree felling!
This time, I really didn't lie to Lin Qingying.

……

"drop!"

Sanbeitong Avenue sent a message: "Ding Han, how's the situation?"

"We've stabilized; we should be able to complete the mission."

"I rely on..."

He was initially surprised, but then said with delight, "It's great that we were able to take it down. We are all honored that Chinese players have destroyed the first S9-level warp unit!"

I wholeheartedly agreed and continued cutting down trees.

"Hiss~~"

At this moment, about three meters above my head, strands of hair twisted and turned, converging and coalescing into a man sitting in a rattan chair, looking old and frail.

He crossed his fingers and looked down at me listlessly: "Aren't you annoying?"

Is this the manifestation of Longman's subspace form?

I frowned but didn't say anything.

"You don't actually think you can kill me by cutting down this tree, do you?"

The old man narrowed his eyes: "Boy, don't be naive. My true body is in the subspace. This dragon vine is just a mere substitute for me. Do you understand?"

I don't know who's being naive.

I don't care whether he lives or dies. What I care about is whether I can get a mutated sample of the Dragon Vine and the reward for soloing the Chaos-level BOSS. Nothing else matters!
Ignore it, keep cutting down trees!

"Kid, why are you so stubborn?"

He leaned back in his chair, tilting his head, and said, "Let's make a deal?"

Do your uncle's deal!

When the opponent has something to ask for, they must have something to scheme for. If the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, the deal is canceled!

Even if you want to make a deal, you have to kill it first!

No one can stop me from killing it.

……

With each strike of the sword, almost the entire trunk near the roots was hollowed out. After eight minutes of chopping, they moved to a different spot to avoid being crushed by the fallen trunk.

Such wisdom for an experienced lumberjack!
"drop!"

A message came from Ruolin: "Ding Han, how are you doing in the Land of Resurrection?"

"They're currently attacking a boss, which could be the final boss of the Land of Resurrection."

I took a screenshot and sent it to her, saying, "Even if it's not the final boss, I accept it. Let's go home, I'm done fighting, I'm tired, let's destroy it."

"Hahaha~~~"

She laughed heartily: "Keep it up! Haven't seen Xiaoying for a few days? Have you missed her?"

"miss you!"

My answer was very firm: "But we must cut down the trees first!"

"Alright, go ahead and chop down the tree. See you in the system announcement later!"

"Okay, see you in the system announcement!"

……

"You're completely stubborn, like a donkey. Are you born in the Year of the Donkey?"

On the tree trunk, the old man formed from the branches shook his head and said, "I'm leaving. Don't let my true form see you, or I'll kill you every time I see you. You just wait!"

I couldn't stand that tired, old-fashioned dialogue. With a wave of my hand, I unleashed a shockwave that pierced through the dragon-vine giant tree, completing the final strike. Immediately, a bell rang in my ears— [System Announcement: Congratulations to player 〖*Shadow〗 for successfully defeating 〖Dragon Vine〗 (Chaos-level, S9, Brown BOSS), achieving the first kill of an S9 Chaos-level BOSS. Due to the player achieving 100% damage share, they receive the Super First Kill Reward: Character Experience +1.5E, Charm +3, Achievement +9, Reputation +1, and an additional reward: 〖Dragon Barrier〗 (Quality: Chaos-level, S9, Brown)!]

Good heavens, this reward is absolutely incredible!

Immediately, my personal information feed started buzzing with messages of congratulations from friends and family!

A unified response.

Then, his gaze quickly fell upon the Dragon Barrier. It was a shield with a dragon's body and head carved on its surface, looking very high-class. Although the design was majestic and exquisite, there was not a trace of light on its surface, which could only mean one thing...

Power Shield!
"I rely on..."

I was overjoyed. This pink S7-level power shield of the Glory Barrier has been with me in battle for many years. It seems it's time to say goodbye to this old friend!
The next second, the attributes of the Divine Dragon Barrier appeared, and it exploded just as expected—

Required Agility: 1000
……

"I rely on..."

Looking at the attributes of the Divine Dragon Barrier, I was dumbfounded.

As expected of the first kill reward for an S9-level BOSS, these stats are absolutely insane!

Damage reduction, damage increase, and attack and defense bonuses are all maxed out. In addition, there is an amazing AOE buff skill that can buff teammates. This thing is simply the first choice for AOE skills in team battles. Moreover, the shield's resilience depends on the user's attack power, which happens to be my most proud attribute.

In terms of attack attributes, who in the entire server can rival us!

Of course, the words in the biography are also quite accurate.

Only a true strong person can control it.

The requirements are 1500 Strength and 1000 Agility. With my attributes, I can barely get it. As for weapons like "Dragon's Descent" and "Peaceful World," I definitely can't get them. And it goes without saying that shield-type superweapons like Ruolin, which have a lot of added stamina, are even less likely to be used.

This shield is practically a symbol of strength.

Unfortunately, my level isn't high enough. The Divine Dragon Barrier requires level 70 and 7th job advancement, and I definitely don't have enough experience points to reach level 70. Oh well, I'll just have to take it slow. There's no use rushing these things.

"drop!"

He sent Ruolin a message with a picture of the Dragon Barrier in the Pokédex: "Praise me!"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Ruolin was genuinely excited and immediately sent a voice message: "The shield reward for this first kill is actually a power shield, this is really unexpected!"

"Not surprisingly."

I chuckled: "80 charm points, plus the increased drop rate from the first kill achievement, is dropping a power shield really that much of a problem?"

"Not too much!"

Ruolin answered crisply and concisely.

"However, the Divine Dragon Barrier requires seven reincarnations to equip, and my current level is not high enough. Don't worry, I will be able to exchange the Glory Barrier for you after I reach the seventh reincarnation."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. I'll work harder recently and earn more money, then I'll give it to you as a subsidy."

"Alright, keep it up!"

It's clear that Ruolin has been eyeing my Glory Barrier for quite some time now.

It's understandable. Shields are the specialized equipment for shield-type super weapon players, and the Power Shield is the king of shields. The Glory Barrier has very comprehensive attributes and a beautiful appearance. Not to mention Ruolin, all the shield-type super weapons in the entire server are probably envious of this shield!

Just then, another bell rang in my ears, signaling the mission was over.

[Congratulations! You have completed the quest "The Perilous Land of Resurrection" (SS-rank)! Rewards: Character Experience +8800 million, Charisma +2, Reputation +4000, and additional rewards: Skill Selection Pack (Special Item), Resurrection Tome (S-rank Recovery Item) x2!]

……

"This……"

Looking at the reward, I was slightly taken aback.

I got two copies of the Resurrection Codex, not bad, I'm usually pretty lucky. But what's this Skill Selection Pack? I've never seen this kind of item before.

Quickly open the storage space, and you'll see a brocade pouch lying quietly in the corner.

Yes, when Liu Bei, that old scoundrel, went to Jianye to marry the 18-year-old Sun Shangxiang, the three brocade pouches that the Prime Minister gave to Yunmei should have been in this shape!

After the brocade pouch was taken out, its properties quickly became apparent—

【Skill Selection Pack】(Special Item): After opening, you can choose a skill that suits you from multiple skills. Acquiring the skill does not consume skill points. Remaining uses: 1!

……

This select pack means... you get an extra skill?!

We've struck it rich!!
