Chapter 011: Slaying the Jungle Scorpion
Ghostly Step: A footwork technique created by the player Yang Chen, which the System cannot evaluate.
Ghostly Divine Cross Slash: A life-saving skill of the Demon God's son! It exhausts all of the Demon God's son's rage, health, and Mana Value to unleash this ultimate move. The power is halved if it exceeds three levels above his own. Within three levels, a double attacker has no chance of survival.
Spirit Possession: Summons a phantom of the Demon God to protect oneself. In this protective state, it forcibly absorbs the Life Essence of hostile creatures that are no more than one level below itself.
"The System is finally becoming more refined, and its framework is getting tighter. However, this is still in an Alternate Dimension; when there are no consumption values, I can use Health Points as a substitute. If my Health Points reach zero, I will report to Yama. I just hope to find the Heavenly Return Armor soon; then, recovering my life will be much quicker," Yang Chen sighed, noting that this System is becoming increasingly intelligent.
Countless Demon Beasts have died at Yang Chen's hands daily. With Deceptive Phantom Step combined with Deception, he can hunt Demon Beasts at the Three-Star Warrior Realm. As he continues to hunt these Demon Beasts, Yang Chen's Ghostly Step has become more proficient, and his combat skills are being utilized more skillfully.
After just killing a Desert Lizard, Howling Sky stopped in front of Yang Chen, looking at him pitifully. Yang Chen smiled and said, "You greedy little thing, here you go." With that, he pulled out a Demon Core from his left hand's Demon God Ring and tossed it to Howling Sky.
Howling Sky leaped up and swallowed the Six-Star Fighter Demon Core. Then it nudged Yang Chen's thigh with its wolf head before moving forward again. Yang Chen smiled at this and shook his head slightly. The next second, Howling Sky looked ahead warily, and Yang Chen seemed to sense something as two Divine Weapons appeared in his hands!
A Scorpion—a massive brown Scorpion. Yang Chen closed his eyes for a moment to sense it and said solemnly, "Five-Star Warrior! Howling Sky, be careful." Howling Sky growled twice in acknowledgment.
Taking the initiative, he activated Deceptive Phantom Step and Deception while summoning the Dragonweave Sword to unleash Death Spike! After the System maintenance, Yang Chen had tried summoning the Flame-Huang War Spear but could not bring it forth like he could with the Dragonweave Sword no matter how hard he tried.
"Clang!"
The Dragonweave Sword was fiercely thrust in front of the Giant Scorpion, locking onto it from a distance. Immediately, a golden halo spread from the hilt of the Dragonweave Sword. All attributes weakened by 10%! In the next moment, Yang Chen crawled onto the Giant Scorpion, and with his left hand, he mercilessly stabbed Angel's Sigh into the back of the Giant Scorpion. However, Demon's Kiss only left a mark on its neck.
"No breach in defense?" Yang Chen sighed.
Not breaching the defense did not mean there was no damage; it simply meant the damage was relatively small. For a Demon Beast, it was negligible, but it still triggered a fear effect. The next second, Demon's Kiss decisively abandoned the neck of the Giant Scorpion and stabbed fiercely into its fearful right eye.
As expected, Demon's Kiss blinded the right eye of the Giant Scorpion. Two seconds later, the left eye was also blinded, and five wounds appeared on its back. Before the Giant Scorpion could react, Yang Chen activated Ghostly Step to escape its attack range.
Seeing Yang Chen come down from the back of the Giant Scorpion, Howling Sky hurriedly ran over and then howled at the Brown Giant Scorpion. Unfortunately, as a Seven Star Fighter, Howling Sky had no deterrent effect on the Giant Scorpion!
Four seconds passed in an instant, and the overall attributes of the Brown Giant Scorpion dropped by another 25%, making its movement speed and attack speed even slower. "Howling Sky, don't move. A Five-Star Warrior is not something you can contend with."
"Awoo~" Howling Sky acknowledged in response, then howled to the sky, calling for its kin. Wolves are unique creatures that never engage in internal conflict; whenever one wolf encounters danger, all that hear its call will rush to help.
With Ghostly Step activated, it directly charged at the Giant Scorpion. However, no matter how hard Yang Chen tried, he could not get close to the Giant Scorpion. Helplessly, he had to retreat from its attack range and quietly wait for the cooldown of Deceptive Phantom Step.
A few minutes later, "Deceptive Phantom Step! Deception!" Yang Chen jumped directly onto the head of the Giant Scorpion, activating Demon God Strategy. The fighting spirit emerged on both daggers before he fiercely stabbed them into both eyes of the Giant Scorpion, piercing through its skull. After successfully landing a hit, he did not stop but stabbed again! A dazzling Demon Core, representing a Fighter, was extracted from the skull of the Giant Scorpion. The Brown Giant Scorpion was thus killed by Yang Chen, allowing him to obtain the Demon Core. He tossed the marked Fighter's Demon Core, which bore five marks, to Howling Sky, saying, "Here you go. Refine it quickly to advance to the next stage of being a Fighter."
He retracted the Dragonweave Sword and stored the body of the Giant Scorpion in his Demon God Ring.
"Ding! Player Yang Chen has killed a Five-Star Warrior, a female Jungle Scorpion, gaining one growth point."
Growth points are required to unlock growth as a Demon God. As they say, countless bones pave the way for a general's success. To grow into a Demon God, one must slay thousands! Each creature killed grants one growth point, regardless of its race or strength. Even if one were to kill a master at the level of a Dou Sheng Da Yuan Man, it would still only yield one growth point.
Sitting cross-legged, he rested and activated "Demon God Strategy" to recover his Fighting Spirit. With the Deception skill, there was no need to worry about insufficient Mana Value. Fury Value was not very necessary either; it was generally used to perform Ghostly Step or Spirit Possession. After much discussion, Yang Chen finally understood the effect of Spirit Possession: it summoned the phantom of the Demon God to protect him. While in this protective state, it forcibly absorbed the Life Essence of any creature not exceeding one realm above him and increased his attack speed, movement speed, and casting speed by 100%. With his current strength as a Seven Star Fighter, he could maintain the Spirit Possession state for ten seconds! Sometimes, a sudden burst in those ten seconds could change the outcome of a battle!
Suddenly, Howling Sky felt a sense of caution and stared ahead. Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "There's a Demon Beast." A golden figure appeared in Yang Chen's sight and quickly approached from a distance.
"Ding! Player Yang Chen has killed Brown Giant Scorpion, attracting the wrath of Golden Armored Scorpion!"
Yang Chen sensed it slightly and said, "Doubler? Howling Sky, run!"
The difference of one realm was completely beyond what a Seven Star Fighter could match. Without hesitation, he used Ghostly Step while Howling Sky chose to flee. The desert beside them stretched endlessly; no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't shake off the golden shadow behind them.
200 meters, 180 meters; the distance continued to shorten while the cooldown for Deceptive Phantom Step still had five minutes left! 80 meters, 50 meters.
As the Golden Armored Scorpion closed in, Yang Chen tightened his grip on the dagger, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll fight! As long as I can hold out for these five minutes, I can escape!"
He suddenly changed direction and ran at a 60-degree angle to the right. The distance to the Golden Armored Scorpion was only 30 meters now. Changing direction again at a 60-degree angle brought him within 10 meters of the Golden Armored Scorpion. Ignoring the looming threat of the Golden Armored Scorpion, he turned again at a 60-degree angle. This time, due to the inertia of the Golden Armored Scorpion, Yang Chen perfectly slipped past it while simultaneously slashing with Demon's Kiss across its abdomen.
