Just when the evil blood priest was about to mobilize the remaining two skulls to continue the attack, he found that the petite figure in front of him had disappeared from the spot.

To the experienced blood priest, these tricks of the thieves were just ridiculous tricks. He chanted a short spell, and a black light bloomed in the air.

However, to the surprise of the evil blood priest, this magic that exposed the figures of many blind thieves was completely useless at this moment. The figure that angered him was still not visible on the scene, and not even a trace of him was revealed.

The red light of the skull on the staff could only dissipate helplessly as the evil blood priest was furious but unable to find his target.

Although this magic is very powerful, it also has obvious shortcomings. Because it cannot be transferred during the process of locking the target from the beginning, if the target disappears from the field of vision and is not found until the duration expires, it is equivalent to being useless.

When the evil blood priest was about to vent his anger on Shiyan and others nearby, I used the shadow hiding skill attached to Lawrence's wings and attacked the opponent again.

Although the attack damage will drop by 99% within five seconds after leaving the state, the remaining 1% is enough to divert the opponent's attention back.

It seemed that the evil blood priest was completely enraged by my teasing, and his attacks and frequency suddenly increased a lot, making it difficult for me to resist even if I frequently used displacement skills and life-saving methods.

Fortunately, not long after, three or four figures rushed over and interrupted the attack of the evil blood priest for a moment, and then used taunts to divert the opponent's hatred.

It was Shisha and the other three front row guys who came over to help.

I looked around and saw that dozens of members of the Black Hill Clan inside the square had been completely eliminated by the other front-row players working with the output professions on top of the stone hill while they were fighting the BOSS.

At this moment, those in the front row were blocking the three entrances and exits of the square, blocking the Black Hill Clan who were attracted by the noise or the thieves who were moving around in the gathering place.

With the help of the traditional terrain and the Black Hill Clan being attracted in waves, the situation seemed relatively easy.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Shuiyan came over with two shield warriors and a paladin to help her deal with the situation.

As the main tank of Rose Heart and a shield warrior ranked among the top four in the Empire, Shisha naturally has her outstanding qualities. After taking a spell from the Evil Blood Priest, she still had three quarters of her health left.

Then he took a defensive posture, added skills that increased his defense, the range protection of the shield warrior next to him, and the blessing of the paladin, it was like a thick barrier that firmly blocked the evil blood priest.

Although she looks slim, she surprisingly feels safe. Why is that?

I couldn't help but think, and my eyes couldn't help but glance at a certain part of the other person.

I didn't feel anything before, but now it seems that I discovered that Sister Shuiyan is unexpectedly a hidden strong fighter. Although she is not as good as Mother Rose...Sister, she should be the best among Sister Dolan and Sister Coral.

...Ugh, what am I thinking about.

I came back to my senses instantly, and with a flushed face, I shook off all the random thoughts in my head. After leaving the battle, I switched to the Dark Word Mage profession and chanted a curse magic with negative effects.

Because although the Blood Priest is tall, he is only of the normal human size. After being trapped by Sister Shuiyan and the other three front-row players, there is no room for melee professions to use their hands and feet. At this time, it would be more effective to use Dark Word Mage to give some control.

He was trapped by several melee fighters including Shiyan and was unable to move. The magic he cast could only reduce their health to half at most. With the recovery of blood bottles and the healing of the priest, it was soon restored to full.

Although the Evil Blood Priest was angry, he could do nothing. After all, Rose Heart and others had previously been able to deal with the level 90 BOSS in the dungeon, so how could they not be able to deal with a small level 75 boss like him?

At first, the blood volume did not decrease very quickly because the output of Shi Yan and the others was not enough.

Later, as the Black Hill Clan in the gathering place were gradually eliminated, the back-row professions on the top of the stone hill changed their targets one after another, and without any need to control the rhythm at all, they began to fall rapidly like a waterfall with full output.

In just over ten minutes, his health had dropped from over 70% to around 30%.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it stranger, you will regret this."

After his health finally dropped by 30%, the evil blood priest uttered the stumbling continental language again, and three consecutive "damn it" expressed his anger. The action he took was to raise the skeleton staff in his hand and shake it hard towards the ground.

As the bottom of the staff touched the ground and the evil blood priest chanted softly, many arms stretched out from under the surrounding gravel surface, and dozens of human-shaped puppets made of sand and gravel slowly climbed up.

However, just as he was about to utter the last set of syllables and the magic of summoning sand men was about to be completed, a dark shadow wrapped around the body of the evil blood priest, strangling all his sounds in his throat.

Vicious Grip.

The most critical skill that the Dark Word Mage learns after the first transformation. Because of the control it causes, there is even a certain chance that it can interrupt the BOSS, which is very rare among most skills.

And with the experience of my previous life, I am well aware of the hidden techniques of this magic. If I face a magic profession like the Blood Priest, I only need to attack the opponent's hands or throat while chanting the magic to increase the success rate to a certain extent.

Therefore, at this moment, the effect of increasing the success rate is revealed.

The chanting of magic stopped, and the human figures that were about to rise from the sand and gravel around them lost their supply of magic power and turned into fragments of sand and gravel, returning to the embrace of the desert.

The evil blood priest, whose spell was interrupted, was furious and cast an angry look in my direction. However, he was restrained by the front row who were firmly in a defensive posture around him and could not move at all.

After losing this final means of counterattack, the Evil Blood Priest was also powerless to recover, and with the cooperation of the four groups of Rose Heart, he fell down with only a little bit of blood left.

Chapter 77: An Early Gift

After the evil blood priest finally fell, I breathed a sigh of relief and went to the place where the molten spark grew. I picked it and stored it in the special container that Bran gave me.

On the other side, Yueya Wanwan also came down from the top of the stone hill with the back row, and asked those in the front row and the thieves to pick up the items dropped by the Black Hill Clan and the Evil Blood Priest in the gathering place.

"These were dropped by monsters. There shouldn't be anything left out."

"Thank you for your hard work, sisters. Consider this as your reward."

After putting the ten Molten Sparks and the container into my backpack, I took a quick look and didn't see anything I particularly liked.

"How can we do that? We are only here to help Xiaotong complete the mission. If the president knew that we took advantage of you, she would complain to death."

"But anyway, it's a pity that you sisters have spent so much energy."

Yueya Wanwan naturally wanted to refuse, but under my insistence she still took half of the equipment and materials.

"Let's keep these together to add some spice to the auction."

I thought the same thing after I stuffed the remaining things into my backpack.

After the mission is over, Shuiyan and Yueyawanwan will lead people back to the ancient capital of Marina to assist in the progress of the second stage of the dungeon and say goodbye to me.

But when Yueya Wanwan led the team to leave, Shuiyan stayed and tugged at the corner of my clothes.

I was thinking about something, and when I turned around and saw Sister Hookah still there, I couldn't help but feel curious, "What's wrong, Sister Hookah?"

Shisha did not answer directly, but took out a glass-colored fruit from her backpack and handed it to me.

Achilles' lucky fruit.

Type: Special Items - Food

Use level: None

Effect: After consumption, all attributes +20%, movement speed +40, the next attack will definitely be accompanied by a lucky hit effect, which lasts for 5 minutes, and can resist one fatal damage during the duration. After all are consumed, your own luck +.

Maximum number of times you can eat: 5/5

"Oh, what is this?"

After seeing the description revealed by this fruit, I couldn't help but open my mouth, and looked up at Sister Shisha's quiet and beautiful face again, with confusion and bewilderment in my eyes.

Shisha wasn't good at speaking, so she simply said, "Christmas..."

"So it's an early Christmas present."

I was reminded of this just now, remembering that the month is almost halfway through and Christmas is just a dozen days away.

Thinking about it this way, Shuiyan came over on her own initiative to give me this gift, and she deliberately avoided Sister Duolan and the others. I guess she was a little shy.

But I was in a dilemma, "But I don't have anything to give as a return gift..."

Being unprepared is one thing, and the value of the gift is another. After all, leaving aside the previous considerations, a one-time +5 to a rare attribute like luck can be said to be valuable enough to rival some ordinary legendary equipment.

The dark gold-level warrior gauntlets that I had obtained earlier must already be on Sister Shuiyan, so I don’t really need them. The other materials in the backpack are not suitable either.

“It’s okay.” Sister Shuiyan shook her head and said softly, “Tongtong… also helped us a lot.”

"But you guys have helped me a lot, too. I can't just take advantage of Sister Shuiyan's kindness for nothing." I stuck out my tongue and suddenly thought of something. "By the way, Sister Shuiyan, since you have this lucky fruit, you should have received and completed the middle part of the mission to inherit the God of War Achilles' profession, right?"

I told him all the details about the task that I could remember, along with my suggestions.

Shisha listened very carefully and took out the notes that came with the system to write down some key points.

On that quiet and beautiful face, the delicate and long eyelashes trembled slightly, which made me suddenly think, "Well, that's about it. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me for help."

"Yeah." Hearing this, a strange light lit up in Shuiyan's eyes. She nodded and didn't ask me why I knew these strategies.

But before leaving, she was still a little reluctant and showed a hesitant look.

Seeing this, I didn't have any thoughts and just hugged the other person openly.

After being stunned for a moment, Sister Shuiyan happily hugged me for a while, and as if she was completely satisfied, she waved to me before leaving.

"Well, just like a little kid."

I suddenly had the illusion of being a mother. I waved goodbye to her, picked up the lucky fruit of Achilles and looked at it again. "But, Sister Shuiyan's gift seems to have helped me a lot."

After putting the lucky fruit into my backpack, I used the scroll to return to town.

As the white light fell in front of his eyes, he had returned to the seemingly bustling square of Antia, and then came to Brandi's shop, handing the molten sparks and other materials to him.

"Thank you so much, dear adventurer." After receiving the herbs, Brandi looked very grateful. After hesitating for a moment, he said again, "But Nar's strength still needs to be further restored. I wonder if you, adventurer, can help me get some special materials."

To me, this is the so-called announcement of the next stage of tasks, so there is no reason to refuse.

And Brandi also took out the reward for completing my first stage of the task from the house.

"Dear adventurer, this is a rare gem that my grandfather left for me. It is no longer useful to me. I wonder if you need it."

"Thanks, I thought I might be able to use it."

I was a little surprised, and quickly reached out to carefully take the three thumb-sized gems that were still emitting a little light.

There is a reason why I treat it so seriously. After all, even I didn't expect that the reward would be so precious in just the first stage.

This strange gem contains magical power. Although it cannot be used on the player himself or equipment, if it is fed to pets or summoned beasts, it will not only improve the basic attributes, but also the growth rate will be improved accordingly.

If you feed it more exotic gems, it will gain special abilities, and its appearance and racial talents will undergo qualitative changes.

In the past life, there was a guild leader of the Orc Empire who used a rare gem to raise a golden behemoth. Not only did the golden behemoth have extremely high defense, it was also able to learn shaman magic. During fortress battles, it was able to rival or even surpass those powerful war weapons. Its strength was astonishing.

It can be said that the value of this exotic gem is still very precious even in the later period.

But soon, I found out why the mission rewards were so generous. It was written on the back of these three exotic gems that they were only valid for races below level 120.

The so-called level 120 does not refer to the level of the pet or summoned beast, but the racial level of the origin, because most pets are born from pet eggs, and summoned beasts are also contracted based on the original creatures.

All monsters have special subcategories, and the racial level range is set by the era. For example, these three exotic gems can only be used on creatures with a racial level below level 120.

Therefore, if you don’t use it early, its value will decrease after level 120. After all, no one is willing to invest energy and time in those low-level pets.

Although low level does not mean low basic attributes and low growth rate, there is always a certain connection between the two.

Chapter 78: Secondary Occupation Inheritance Mission

Forget it, it's better than nothing.

Moreover, at the current leveling speed of players, it will take at least several months to reach level 120.

I am not the kind of person who is not satisfied. After putting the three rare gems as rewards for the mission into my backpack with peace of mind, I said goodbye to Brandi and left the forging shop.

The materials required for Brandi's second stage mission are all rare materials. Although they are difficult to find, fortunately, unlike the previous mission, you don't need to spend time and effort to collect them yourself.

After explaining the task to Sister Yue Changan and asking her to help find materials, and telling her that it would be best to ask my aunt to keep an eye on it as well, I thought about it and said something to Sister Duolan and the others.

With their help in the search, we should be able to save a lot of energy.

This also made me feel that there is strength in numbers. If I wanted to complete an ordinary task in my previous life, I would probably have to run around for half a day.

After hanging up the phone, I went all the way to my personal warehouse, took out some materials and some spare scrolls and props, and then went to an alchemy workshop in the city of Antia.

Although most special items are fixed and cannot be forged and strengthened like equipment, there are exceptions, such as the Eye of Ugar and the horn obtained from the ancient city of Marina.

Almonte's Horn.

Type: Special Props - Other

Use level: None

Effect: After use, you can summon a level 70 Sandstone Holy Armor Beast, which lasts for 15 minutes and has a cooldown of two natural days.

Almonte is the royal magician of ancient Ceylon. The Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast was summoned by him to guard the treasure of the ancient capital of Marina. It was also the leader that had blocked Dolan and others for a long time in the copy.

This horn is a relic left by Almonte. It can summon the Sandstone Holy Armor Beast through the magic power stored in it. Although the summoned Sandstone Holy Armor Beast is slightly weaker than the one in the copy, it is also an existence that cannot be ignored.

Because just like the ability shown in the copy, its frontal defense is almost invincible in the same level. Only after breaking the five crystals at the back, the defense will drop sharply and become the same as an ordinary boss.

Red Rose also took this into consideration, and after seeing that the duration was only a short 15 minutes and the cooling time was as long as two natural days, she felt that it was only slightly good, and did not feel too sorry that I took it away.

But I do know that this item can be of great use in certain specific situations. Moreover, this special item can be enhanced by an alchemist using special materials.

There happened to be several senior alchemists in Antia, so I didn't need to go back and went directly to one of the alchemy workshops. I handed the materials and Almonte's horn to the senior alchemist inside.

"Oh, this is really a magical item." The alchemist named Quite took the horn from me and looked at it carefully. I could hear the sigh in his old tone. Then he raised his head and looked at me, "Adventurer, are you really going to let me process it?"

"Yes, Master Quitt, I believe in your skills."
