Chapter 27: Green Elite Steel Spine Beast (First Update) Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks
In that loud howl, Liang Jing also woke up from his intense practice, looking at the equipment exploding beside him and hurriedly picking it up in silence.
"【Warrior Boots】Quality: White, Resistance: 4, Durability: 10, Weight: 4, Equipment Requirement: Strength; 1."
"【Warrior Leather Gloves】Quality: White, Resistance: 4, Durability: 10, Weight: 3, Equipment Requirement: Strength; 1."
Directly muttering to himself as he put it on, because his body was full of bloodstains and shredded flesh, Liang Jing couldn't see what the leather suit looked like.
"Collect a full set of 【Warrior Suit】, activate the suit properties, special effects: Resistance +5, Tenacity +5."
Good stuff! This resistance +5, tenacity +5 is directly added to the overall body, that is, all equipment has increased resistance 5, tenacity 5, so defense and durability are higher.
But now Liang Jing didn't have time to think about anything else, looking at the distant sky starting to turn white, dawn was breaking!
But danger seems to have just begun, the crazy mutant monster that roared earlier actually woke up and retreated, how is this like a BOSS scene?
"It is it..."
Looking at the huge monster rushing into the house, about the same height as a normal person, with an overall image like a large version of a local dog, its limbs are sturdy, its sharp teeth gleaming coldly, its fur is reddish-brown and bristling like steel needles, even in the dimly lit room it occasionally flashes a metallic cold glow, its steel whip-like tail hangs down, two canine teeth on the upper jaw are over 15 cm long, protruding outward, very much like the fangs of a saber-toothed tiger, giving off a chilling light.
"Steel Spine Beast: Green Elite, Level 11, evolved from a domestic dog. Its body is covered with steel-like needle hair for strong defense, extremely powerful and fast, with sharp teeth in its mouth, it's a ferocious predator, extremely dangerous."
This monster dog is familiar to Liang Jing, on the first day of the world's mutation, which was yesterday, he saw that mutated dog, but at that time it wasn't as ferocious and tall as it is now, only about 1.5 meters high, now it has grown to about 1.7 meters high, almost as tall as a human, its name seems to have broken free from the constraints of bloodline, no longer being some kind of mutated something, but having regained a bloodline species name, this is an elite monster!
Liang Jing's expression was solemn, his hands grasped the knife, ready for battle, and casually probed [Basic Insight].
"Yang Yu Yuan, next I'll go to the main hall and entangle him. You find a good opportunity to release the fireball. This monster is extremely formidable. If it really doesn't work out, you all prepare to escape. I have a way to entangle it for a while so that I can escape myself." Liang Jing instructed without turning his head, tightly staring at the steel-spined beast in front of him which was constantly panting.
Yang Yu Yuan had rested for two or three hours and should have recovered a bit. Before his fireball technique was exhausted, Yang Yu Yuan had been fighting with his chopping knife. Facing this steel-backed beast, Liang Jing didn't have much confidence on his own. Now he had to make it clear that if he had Yang Yu Yuan's help, they might really be able to kill this elite monster. This was equipment that would definitely drop from an elite, and Liang Jing didn't want to let it go. It seemed the other side wouldn't let him off either.
"Don't worry, Liang Jing, we won't run away first. I can probably cast about 5 more fireballs, and I should be able to help you later." Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Yang Yuwen gritted his teeth but did not agree to let Liang Jing fend for himself while the others escaped first, because they still didn't know what was going on outside, who knew if it was safe or not.
Moreover, Liang Jing seems to have a threatening tone, if he really leaves first at that time, I estimate that Liang Jing will run faster than everyone else.
Li Jing didn't say anything either, just nodded in response.
In the dimly lit room, the thick smell of blood did not dissipate. As the mutated monster retreated, for a time, only the sound of the beast's breathing and the humming noise from its chest cavity lingered.
Looking at the ferocious beast Steel Spine Beast, it's only slightly smaller than Baroque (Caucasian Shepherd Dog after evolution) which had previously evolved into a Golden BOSS-level, although not as powerful and majestic, it still looks incredibly fierce. If the Golden BOSS Baroque is the king of beasts, the tiger, then the Steel Spine Beast is the leopard that hunts in the wilderness - ferocious and swift.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the battlefield that was about to begin, Liang Jing's face sank. The large hall was filled with a thick layer of corpses and flesh, blood-soaked and slippery like a swamp. Fighting and dodging here would definitely not be convenient. However, Liang Jing wouldn't choose to fight head-on first, at least not before figuring out the opponent's strength. If he encountered a powerful existence and went straight into a fierce battle, wasn't that just asking for death? It was like an egg hitting a rock.
Liang Jingke won't become arrogant just because he killed the Golden BOSS Balrog earlier. It was just a lucky sneak attack, and even then, he only managed to hit him when he was at his weakest, taking away half of his life. An ordinary person would probably be finished if they successfully killed the Golden Balrog, suffering severe internal injuries, and there's no hospital around now, so they'd have to endure it themselves.
Staring intently at the opponent in front of him, the environment was unfavorable to himself but wasn't it the same for his opponent, and even more restrictive than his own, with a narrow space, swamp-like ground, and rapid speed that was difficult to exert, and a relatively large body that was definitely not as agile as Liang Jingkai's.
In the "system" of Liang Jing, monster levels are divided into: ordinary white monsters, elite green monsters, blue BOSS leaders, and golden super BOSS-level monsters. The steel-backed beast in front of him belongs to the second-tier monster, with strength several times that of an ordinary monster, several times stronger than a level 11 monster!
Liáng Jìng didn't dare underestimate it at all; the monster's thick skin and flesh weren't something ordinary humans could compare to.
"Wooo... wuuu..."
The steel-backed beast let out a low, rumbling growl, its animalistic eyes roving over Liang Jing and Yang Yuwen, as if sensing the threat they posed, its instincts on high alert for danger.
Liáng Jìng however felt his heart beating faster, he became excited, originally already exhausted spirit also came a bit of energy, as if being stimulated, drowsiness reduced, rarely encountered an opponent with not too much difference in strength, such an opponent is hard to come by!
It wasn't because the variant monsters were too powerful, but because they could only use their wits to find all sorts of exploitable conditions to suppress and kill them. Just mechanically swinging a weapon to kill weak variant monsters was not a fight in Liang Jing's heart!
"Hummm..."
The steel-backed beast seemed to think that Liang Jing was the greatest threat, and it charged at him with ferocity, like an unstoppable locomotive, bringing with it a shocking breath of air and a chilling gust of wind. Liang Jing reacted extremely quickly, his muscles stretching and contracting with ease, as agile and nimble as a monkey, dodging to one side in a flash.
A loud crash, the wall was directly smashed open a big hole, dust and debris splashed, splashing around making a crackling sound.
Liāng Jìng dodged the opponent's attack and immediately charged towards Gang Bèi Shòu.
"Kill..." Liang Jing growled in a low voice.
The whole person suddenly burst out, as if a lightning bolt, directly striking the steel-backed beast. The short knife in his hand flashed a cold light, and he hacked at the neck of the steel-backed beast that was stuck halfway. And the steel-backed beast that had crashed into the wall with a big hole seemed to be unable to turn around for a while, but just as Liang Jing was about to get close to it -
Oww... Whoa!
A black shadow chopped towards Liang Jing's head, swift and unparalleled, leaving no time for reaction.
"Good grief." Liang Jing was also startled, but had already experienced similar or even more brutal attacks. From the very beginning, he had been prepared in his heart. With a burst of strength from his legs, he dodged to one side and avoided this dark shadow.
This black shadow was exactly the tail of Gang Bi Beast, which was like an iron whip hanging down; this was what Liang Jing had been paying special attention to from the beginning.
While dodging, the hands were non-stop, changing angles simply, fiercely, directly, and lightning-fast towards the target to slash.
After swinging its tail, the Steelback Beast suddenly moved swiftly and rapidly, and it abruptly turned its head towards Liang Jing and pounced on him. It knocked off a large piece of the wall stuck in its neck with its powerful hooves, and its sharp teeth bit down directly at him like a tiger's fangs.
"Pong! Ka-clang......" A knife and a steel hoof claw clashed in a hard collision.
"Whoa, this steel beast is too fast and powerful!" Liang Jing's feet exerted force immediately taking a step back to reduce the impact, her short knife quickly slashing forward.
Just now, Liang Jing had a confrontation with Gangui Beast's hoof, and both sides were evenly matched. However, Liang Jing was the first to strike, and he had already entered a "battle state". The Gangui Beast only counterattacked passively, but even so, it gave Liang Jing great confidence, not to the point of being unstoppable.
Pong!
Liang Jing swung his short knife forward, avoiding the steel-backed beast's ferocious fangs that were aimed at its neck. At the moment of impact, Liang Jing used the rebound force to quickly flip backwards and roll away from the ground, creating distance between himself and the steel-backed beast as he continued to wield his knife in the grand hall.
The steel-backed beast was momentarily unable to find its direction and attack, continuously letting out low, mournful howls, its eyes gradually filling with blood and taking on a crazed expression.
