Chapter 521 An Evolving Monster

Chapter 1 The Hurricane Set

As a Tier 1 set closest to the Epic rank below level 50, it was naturally extraordinary.

Shi Feng wasn't very confident about wiping out Canglang Zhantian and his group, but now that he had gathered the complete Tier 1 Swordsman set, his combat power would increase exponentially after equipping it.

The possibility of taking down Canglang Zhantian and the other eight top experts had increased significantly.

Immediately, Shi Feng equipped the Hurricane Set.

Unlike the Dragon Claw Set, the Hurricane Set was equipment specifically designed for Swordsmen. It was a streamlined, close-fitting cyan-blue armor that didn't hinder body movement in the slightest. Shi Feng even felt an indescribable lightness when walking.

"As expected of equipment designed specifically for Swordsmen. It not only maintains defense but also allows players to move more nimbly. Ordinary equipment really can't compare," Shi Feng said, slightly raising the corners of his mouth after simply moving his body.

Hurricane Set, equipment level 20-50, equipment requirement Tier 1 Swordsman, equipment bound, consists of five parts: head, chest, hands, legs, and feet.

Set effect.

Two-piece set effect: Damage increased by 10%, attack speed increased by 20%, all Swordsman skill effects increased by 20%.

Four-piece set effect: Strength attribute increased by 15%, Agility attribute increased by 15%, grants the skill Sword Qi Quad Direction, which can deal 300% weapon damage to enemies within 5 yards, and knock back all enemies 12 yards, stunning them for 1 second, cooldown time of 1 minute.

Five-piece set effect: All Swordsman skill cooldown times reduced by 20%. Every time damage is dealt to a target, a layer of Storm Force is gained, increasing attack speed by 2% and attack range by 1 yard, lasting 20 seconds, stacking up to 10 layers. Grants the skill Hurricane, which condenses all Storm Force, dealing 200% + 30% * the number of Storm Force layers condensed as weapon damage to a 20-yard cone in front, and suspending everyone in the area for 5 seconds, preventing them from moving.

In terms of basic attributes, Shi Feng's Strength finally broke through 500 without any buffs, and his Agility was as high as 600. Shi Feng was confident that neither his movement speed nor his attack speed would be inferior to any player, unless that player was wearing an Epic set.

Moreover, even an Epic set might not be better than the Hurricane Set.

As long as equipment reaches the Dark-Gold rank or higher, there will be an additional special change. This change is not reflected in the data, but a hidden advantage.

And this advantage is the equipment's adaptability to the player's movements, just like a person wearing ill-fitting shoes and clothes, feeling tight and uncomfortable. Every profession and player has different movement habits, and ordinary equipment is standard equipment that will not adapt to the player's movement habits, causing the player some inconvenience. Although it is very, very small, in the eyes of experts, the impact is not small, like having a nail in your shoe, always pricking your foot, leading to unsmooth movements.

The quality of a Tier 1 set is above Dark-Gold, so in the system settings, it will be biased towards the player's professional movement habits. Unlike mass-produced Epic equipment, it will greatly increase the adaptability of individual professional players.

Shi Feng's feeling now was that the nail in his shoe was gone, and he could move around as he pleased.

Then, Shi Feng began to wait quietly.

Canglang Zhantian and his group were not far from the center of the Dragonkin Lair. The terrain there was not wide and was surrounded by mountains on both sides. There was no third choice except to advance or retreat, making it the safest ambush location.

"Leader Canglang, I've scouted ahead. There are no mechanical traps along the way to the center of the Dragonkin Lair, except for some Elite Dragonkin. However, the Boss guarding the treasure is a level 30 Lord-rank, and it's inclined towards magic, which is a bit tricky," a Tier 1 Assassin named Wuying Shu (Shadowless Mouse), clad in black, reported.

"Inclined towards magic?" Canglang Zhantian, whose face was pale and sickly, frowned slightly.

Magic-type Bosses always have many group attack skills and varied methods, but the most terrifying thing is their ability to instantly kill players, unlike physical-type Bosses, which can be restrained in various ways.

The biggest difference between physical and magical attacks is that physical attacks are direct and do not have multiple forms of attack. Although they are faster, reacting to them is not a big problem. However, magical attacks mostly come in multiple forms. Because of this, they can kill players in a daze, leaving them helpless.

In previous virtual games, monster attack patterns were always single-mode. Unlike the monsters in God's Domain, which are closer to reality, their combat modes also evolve with their level, from the initial single-mode attack to the current multiple forms of attack. This means that players have to defend against far more than one point of attack, possibly two, three, or even five or six.

Ordinary people struggle to deal with a single attack, let alone two. The simplest is a simultaneous attack from the front and back. When ordinary players panic, the greatest possibility is that they will be hit by both attacks. It takes a lot of training to dodge simultaneous attacks from the front and back.

Currently, although the members of the major guilds have killed many monsters, the multi-attack mode only started appearing in monsters after level 25. Therefore, most players will suffer when facing such monsters. If they face a Boss, group wipes are commonplace.

"Let's go over and take a look before studying tactics," Canglang Zhantian said.

Then, Canglang Zhantian led everyone to charge forward and arrived in front of the Lord Boss.

Magic Eye Dragonkin, Lord-rank, Level 30, HP 1,600,000.

Because it was an area Boss, the Magic Eye Dragonkin's HP would change with the number of players, with a minimum limit of a 20-man team. If the number of enemies within a certain area of the Magic Eye Dragonkin exceeded 20, the HP limit would increase, meaning that having a large number of players was not necessarily a good thing.

When Canglang Zhantian and his group of one hundred people stepped into the Magic Eye Dragonkin's area, the Magic Eye Dragonkin's HP instantly increased to 8,000,000.

"Wuying Shu, you nineteen stay behind. The others leave the Magic Eye Dragonkin's area," Canglang Zhantian said, glancing at the Magic Eye Dragonkin.

Facing such a Boss, having too many people was a burden. They had eight experts who could easily deal with multiple attacks. The other twelve were also veterans who were good at dealing with multiple attacks. A 20-person team composed of such individuals could deal with the Magic Eye Dragonkin as easily as dealing with a normal Lord, without being overwhelmed by having too many people.

Soon, the others left the area that the Magic Eye Dragonkin recognized as enemies and hid in a corner, watching quietly.

When the remaining 80 people left, the Magic Eye Dragonkin's HP instantly dropped to 1,600,000.

"Alright, I'll deal with it. The others pay attention to aggro," Canglang Zhantian said, taking the lead and charging towards the Magic Eye Dragonkin, which had a jet-black tail and was covered in scales, holding a giant shield.

The Magic Eye Dragonkin saw Canglang Zhantian charging up with a giant shield in hand and used a rapid charge to come in front of Canglang Zhantian. The war hammer in its hand slammed down fiercely. At the same time that the war hammer slammed down, a giant black eyeball emerged from the top of the Magic Eye Dragonkin's head, silently shooting out several black beams at Canglang Zhantian.

Boom!

The giant hammer, the size of a small car, fell, and the ground shook. However, after the dust settled, the fallen giant hammer did not hit Canglang Zhantian, but landed in front of Canglang Zhantian. The several black beams also grazed Canglang Zhantian's body and did not hit him. Then, Canglang Zhantian struck with his sword.

Second-layer Acceleration!

The sword strike seemed slow, but the sword light suddenly disappeared in mid-air, hitting the Magic Eye Dragonkin dodging the long sword without anyone knowing when and dealing more than 400 points of damage.

Then, Canglang Zhantian's other team members launched attacks one after another.

For a time, the two sides fought back and forth, fiercely, shocking the members of Yi Xiao Qingcheng (A Smile倾城) in the distance.

If this battle were recorded, it could be completely used as a science fiction blockbuster.

"It's time," Shi Feng said with a faint smile, after waiting for a long time.

At this time, Shi Feng drank the Evil Ghost Potion and activated the Ring of Void, hiding in the void, and charged straight up.
