Chapter 53 - Special Situation at the Cliff, A Tsunami of Worms
Chapter 53: Special Situation at the Cliff, A Tsunami of Worms
Li Yi looked at the edge of the cliff and soon saw a huge iron chain in the distance that led to the bottomless bottom of the cliff. This seemed to be the only method to reach the bottomless pit of the cliff.
[System Notification: The bottom of the broken God’s cliff is extremely dangerous and contains a terrifying poisonous gas. Please be prepared before entering the site!]
Li Yi was quite familiar with this notification warning, so he disregarded it and prepared to enter.
He put the shield back into his backpack, then grabbed the iron chain with both hands and hopped to the bottom of the cliff. As time passed, the surroundings quickly became darker and darker.
Li Yi immediately took out the illuminating gem and attached it to the top of his helmet. The surroundings immediately became as bright as day, and he could clearly see that the cliff wall was covered with black weeds.
[Yin Poison Weed: Possesses strong yin poison, suitable for crafting some kind of strong poison!]
This material was used to make some kind of poison. After it was successfully crafted, it could be smeared on weapons to fight against bosses or players.
Nothing else happened along the way. After about ten minutes, he had reached the bottom of the cliff. Then, he let go of the iron chain and landed steadily on a huge rock that was surrounded by countless more yin poison weed.
[System Notification: The bottom of the broken God’s cliff does not have light all year round, thus producing a large amount of poisonous gas. You have been invaded by the poisonous gas. This reduces 30 HP per second!]
This was the specialty of this location — 1 minute would reduce about 1,800 HP for a player. If one wanted to enter this map, their HP and HP recovery speed would have to be high enough to contend the poison. Moreover, they would have to bring a lot of potions.
Currently, most of the Guardian Warriors should have around 1,300 HP. With better equipment, they would at most have 1,600 HP. If they do not consume a Health Potion each minute, they would not be able to hold on!
Li Yi on the other hand had enough HP to tank the constant damage, so he did not mind. This was why Li Yi did not call the others over, it would be fatal to the other players!
Li Yi immediately got down from the huge rock and shuttled through a large amount of yin poison weeds, heading towards the distance. Very soon, he saw the creature at the bottom of broken God’s cliff.
It was a worm. Its body length was about one meter. Its entire body was covered in a black hard shell. It twisted its body and crawled slowly with dozens of legs, just like a large thousand-legged worm.
At this moment, this worm was happily eating the yin poison weeds and did not notice the intruder from afar.
With a glance, the attributes of the monster were revealed.
[Level 14 Yin Poison Worm (normal)]
[Vitality: 20,000]
[Physical Attack: 350]
[Physical Defense: 250]
[Magic Defense: 150]
[Skills: Bite, Poison Spray]
[Other skills: Attacks have a poisonous effect. For a short period of time, it can double the damage of the opponent’s poison gas invasion.]
…
The attributes of the monsters were not very strong, so Li Yi was not in a hurry to attack them. Instead, he quickly observed his surroundings to determine the situation because he knew that these creatures lived in groups!
The most important point to take note of was that the attacks of these creatures could double the damage of the poison gas damage he was tanking. Moreover, this attack could be stacked.
In other words, if these things attacked him 100 times, he would lose 3,000 HP every second. If he was surrounded by a large number of Yin Poison Worms, even he would not be able to take it out alive!
Li Yi confirmed that there were no other Yin Poison Worms around and immediately activated his Charge skill. His figure turned into a streak of light and rapidly attacked the Yin Poison Worms.
“-14,750! Critical Hit!”
The Yin Poison Worms were immediately stunned on the spot.
Combo! Critical Hit!
“-940.”
“-1,210.”
“-4,132! Critical Hit!”
A set of smooth and flowing strokes appeared. In just an instant, the Yin Poison Worm’s HP had been emptied.
Li Yi went forward to check for any dropped items. There were only a few silver coins and nothing else. However, he was not surprised. After all, it was a normal-tier monster, so the chances of it dropping anything were not high.
Li Yi continued to walk deeper. The Yin Poison Worms that appeared in groups of two and three could be easily dealt with. However, as he went deeper, the Yin Poison Worms became more and more concentrated. Finally, he found at least a hundred Yin Poison Worms that gathered together when he passed through.
Countless Yin Poison Worms were densely packed and crisscrossed with each other. If a person with agoraphobia were here, he or she would probably have fainted in an instant!
With so many Yin Poison Worms gathered around, it was likely that each one of them could spit out a mouthful of poison, and the speed of Li Yi’s blood loss would instantly increase to 3,000+ points per second!
The light above Li Yi’s helmet shone over, and these Yin Poison Worms instantly became restless from the change in lighting. It was as if they were about to rush over and tear apart the intruders!
Li Yi quickly turned off the illuminating gem, and the Yin Poison Worms slowly stopped moving.
He had long understood this situation — Yin Poison Worms hated light very much. He now had an inkling idea on how to defeat these pesky worms.
In theory, the illuminating gem item was invincible. No matter how much damage it took, it would not break!
Knowing this, Li Yi chuckled. He took out an illuminating gem from his backpack and threw it at the center of the countless worms.
The moment Li Yi threw the illuminating gem, it was like a piece of red-hot iron being thrown into the water. The hatred to destroy the light was instantly activated in all the worms and they all aggravatingly went to the light.
The ear-piercing cries of the Yin Poison Worms meshed together. Countless Yin Poison Worms roared furiously, crazily shooting venom at the location of where the light was shining from.
How dare this ball of light show its presence here. The worms were angered by the intrusion and shot out wave after wavers of venom, but they still could not cause any damage to this tiny illuminating gem!
Li Yi quickly rushed over, raised his magic weapon high up, and directly used the skill Horizontal Sword Slash.
In the past, when he used his magic weapon, the aura it dispersed out was all inky black. Now, his moves carried some golden light as well. The black and gold merged together, and it looked exceptionally gorgeous.
He ruthlessly swung his sword around attacking the monsters. There was no need to aim at a single one, he just had to randomly slash around before a large number of damage figures flew up.
“-1,124.”
“-2,307! Critical Hit!”
“-1,124.”
Li Yi immediately let out a battle cry and his magic weapon suddenly trembled. Suddenly, a thick black demonic aura surrounded his body. The token at the center of his heart trembled slightly too as it let out a brilliant golden light at the same time!
Black and gold, the two fused together and spread out in an instant, shaking the entire area!
The weeds on the ground instantly shattered into nothingness. Huge bright red numbers flew up as Li Yi went on with his attacks!
“9,715.”
“19,603! Critical Hit!”
“9,954.”
…
The terrifying energy emitted from Li Yi’s body caused the large amount of Yin Poison Worms around him to either be instantly killed or be sent flying far away. Those that flew away were either stunned or left with a bit of HP.
This was the difference in leveling up one’s power. Even if it was just a small increase of one or two levels, it would still be extremely terrifying.
