Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

Faced with the messy and stinking nest, Jiang Yan was about to leave, but following the principle that a thief should not leave empty-handed, he subconsciously cast a gathering spell on the nest.

[Ding~ Congratulations, player! Successfully harvested the Hundred-Year-Old Green Vine Root]

Ah this?

Jiang Yan had almost flown outside when he heard the system notification, so he quickly covered his nose and flew back.

A century-old ivy root?

As expected of a Dark Gold BOSS, even his lair is built with such style!

Back at the nest, Jiang Yan immediately opened his backpack to check the properties of the green vine root.

【Green Vine Root】: One hundred years old, it can be used for alchemy and medicine!

More herbs for alchemy... Jiang Yan decisively began frantically gathering herbs from the nest.

[Ding~ Congratulations, player! Successfully harvested the Hundred-Year-Old Green Vine Root]

[Ding~ Congratulations, player! Successfully harvested a century-old wisteria root]

[Ding~ Congratulations, player! You have successfully collected the Hundred-Year Flower Spirit Grass.]

[Ding~ Congratulations, player! You have successfully collected a bear pelt.]

What the hell is bearskin?

Jiang Yan continued collecting while opening his backpack.

[Bear Skin]: Can be made into leather armor!

"It's for tailors." Jiang Yan occasionally browses game forums and knows that there are many players with life skills in this game.

A lower-end group consists of gold-farming gangs that specialize in collecting medicinal herbs and mining in the wild.

More sophisticated establishments include blacksmiths who forge weapons and armor, and tailors who make robes and leather armor.

On an even higher level, there are alchemists, such as alchemy geniuses!

Jiang Yan possesses the talent of alchemy, making him one of the best in China in the field of pill refining, but he is completely clueless in other areas.

However, with wealth flowing in from all directions, Jiang Yan has no worries about not being able to sell this bear skin.

Next, Jiang Yan spent a full two minutes collecting the contents of the nest, collecting a total of twenty-three portions of century-old flower and vine roots, plus a bear skin!

Meanwhile, the nest had been riddled with holes by Jiang Yan's attacks, and it was even teetering on the brink of collapse in the night wind!

Jiang Yan was not in a hurry at all. Although his shikigami, Flying Crow, was on a one-hour cooldown, he still had Thunder Strike. A level 2 Thunder Strike could turn into lightning for 4 seconds. At a speed of 100 meters per second, it was enough to cross the 300-meter chasm!

The reason they didn't leave immediately was that Jiang Yan noticed there seemed to be a tree beneath the nest!

No, to be specific, it's a section of tree root!

The night wind howled, and finally, the nest overturned and fell towards the thousand-foot cliff.

Jiang Yan reacted quickly, leaping out of the nest and grabbing the tree root!

Most of the tree roots are buried in the ground, with only a small section exposed. The nest of the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle is built on these tree roots!

Jiang Yan grabbed it with one hand and used the gathering technique on it with the other!

[Ding~ Player failed to collect resources]

[Ding~ Player failed to collect resources]

Upon seeing the system notification, Jiang Yan was overjoyed!

With his level 6 gathering skill, he could usually succeed on the first try with ordinary herbs, even those that were a hundred years old. But now he was failing repeatedly, which meant that this tree root was definitely a good thing!

Jiang Yan clung to the tree roots, hanging from the cliff, and began frantically collecting the materials.

[Ding~ Congratulations, player! Successfully harvested Wind Soul Wood, quality +19]

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly opened his backpack.

【Wind Soul Wood】: The root wood of the Wind Soul Tree, which absorbs the spiritual wind of heaven and earth and contains the power of wind!

It's spirit wood used to refine wind-attribute magical artifacts!

Jiang Yan's heart stirred slightly: Could it be that the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle built its nest here because of this Wind Soul Wood?

Just as Jiang Yan was thinking this, he suddenly heard a sharp cry of an eagle coming from the distant horizon!

At the same time, Xiao Dongxie sent a private message: Boss, boss, something big has happened!!

Jiang Yan hurriedly asked: Is it related to the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle?

Little East Evil replied instantly: Yeah, yeah, how did you know, boss? Are you also exploring the path to the Third Peak?

After Xiao Dongxie parted ways with Jiang Yan last time, he wanted to use the vulture to explore the way out of the third peak. Now, almost two days have passed.

Jiang Yan knew that the elementary school student would lose focus if he talked too much, so he quickly urged him to get to the point!

Little East Evil replied in a private message: Boss, I am currently on the mountainside behind the second peak. I saw the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle fly to the third peak and then fight with a giant snake!

A giant snake?

Is it the boss from the third peak?

That's not right!

Why would a Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle, carrying its eggs, end up fighting a giant snake?

Is it because there are no good spots left on the second peak, so they're looking for one on the third?

If that's the case, then its eggs...

Jiang Yan's heart suddenly started pounding, and he quickly asked: How is the battle going?

Little East Evil: It's too far away, I can't see it very clearly.

Jiang Yan immediately replied: Little Eastern Heretic, don't go anywhere from here, just stay here and keep watch. If the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle comes back, notify me immediately!

Afterwards, Jiang Yan sent an email to Xiao Dongxie containing one thousand gold coins!

After Xiao Dongxie extracted the information, he immediately replied: "Don't worry, boss, I won't sleep tonight. I'll keep a close eye on that stinky eagle!"

Jiang Yan praised the Little Eastern Heretic extensively, then looked up with burning eyes.

The snake on the third peak should also be a Dark Gold BOSS. The Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle wouldn't fight with an egg, so...

Jiang Yan speculated that the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle must have set up a temporary nest on the summit of the second peak to house its eggs!

Once he found a temporary nest... Jiang Yan gripped the roots of the Wind Soul Tree with both hands, his eyes scanning the area, and soon spotted a protrusion on the cliff several hundred meters away.

Jiang Yan immediately unleashed a thunderous strike, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot into the sky!

At a speed of 100 meters per second, Jiang Yan flew to the protruding rock in just 3 seconds.

He then broke free of the lightning transformation and stood firmly on his feet.

A night breeze blew, making Jiang Yan shiver. He hugged his robe tightly, pressed himself against the cliff, and then looked up at the cliff above.

At this moment, Jiang Yan was still more than a thousand meters away from the summit of the second peak. The terrain above was increasingly steep and dangerous, and the few places where one could stand were extremely far apart. Ordinary players would find it almost impossible to move an inch here!

With the power of thunder, Jiang Yan can rise up by transforming into lightning as long as he finds a foothold!

The only downside is that Thunder Strike has a rather long cooldown, requiring 140 seconds!

Moreover, these footholds are not easy to find. Some may look sturdy, but they are actually fragile and break easily. You must be very careful!

After looking around, Jiang Yan saw a pine tree about the thickness of a thigh growing on the cliff face more than 200 meters away, which should be able to support his body weight!

Once the 140-second cooldown was over, Jiang Yan immediately unleashed Thunder Strike, transforming into lightning and flying towards the suspended pine tree.

The lightning flashed and disappeared high in the sky, and in the blink of an eye it reached the hanging pine!

As a result, there was a small grayish-brown snake on the hanging pine tree. As soon as Jiang Yangang flew closer, the snake poked its head out, flicking its tongue and looking ready to strike!

The battle-hardened Jiang Yan changed direction almost instantly, crashing headfirst into the small snake and dealing -32580 crimson damage!

Having detached from his lightning-transformed state, Jiang Yan grabbed the roots of the hanging pine tree with one hand and brandished his staff with the other: "Lightning Bolt!!"

Crack!

A violent bolt of lightning pierced the darkness, pinning the small snake against the cliff face, where it rubbed against it frantically!

Lightning bursts forth, continuously dealing critical damage of -28714 to -28714!

"Hiss!!" The small gray-brown snake hissed sharply, trying to break free from the lightning's grasp, but Jiang Yan refused to give in, his staff aimed at it and attacking from beginning to end!

After the lightning flashed, the small gray-brown snake was finally freed and instantly shot towards Jiang Yan's neck like an arrow.

Resist the ring of fire!

Jiang Yan reacted even faster, and a crimson ring of fire instantly rippled out, deflecting the furious gray-brown snake that was shooting towards him.

Thunderous Dragon!

Jiang Yan brandished his staff, and a thunder dragon roared out of the void, crashing into the gray-brown snake with a loud bang, exploding into countless bolts of lightning!

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Rock King Serpent, a level above their own! Experience +2550]

Hearing the system notification, Jiang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This snake looks small, but it has a lot of health. Jiang Yan just used a combo attack and it took him nearly 32 health points to kill it!

That's incredibly powerful!

Then, Jiang Yan was dumbfounded.

Because after this Rock King Serpent died, it dropped a piece of gold equipment!!

"No, are you kidding me?"

Jiang Yan watched helplessly as the golden equipment fell off the cliff, tears welling up in his eyes!

My 120,000 gold coins!!
