Opening the friend panel.
Chu Tian looked at the all-black avatars and frowned slightly.
What's going on?
Jian Zhi Cang Tian, Heng Dao, Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe...
All his friends were offline.
He tried to add a friend: Wo Shi Xiao Ji Jiao.
【Ding... System Prompt: The current map is a special map, and the system is unavailable!】
Seeing the prompt, Chu Tian realized it was due to map restrictions.
No wonder no one had sent him private messages in the past few days.
"Use external communication, call Gao Kai!"
Chu Tian sent the command to the Heavenly Dao system.
【Ding... System Prompt: The current map is a special map, and the system is unavailable!】
"Uh..."
Even the external communication system couldn't be used.
Forget it, let's just farm monsters!
He brought his clone to the respawn point of the Scorched Beast.
He commanded his clone to stand in a safe place at a distance.
Chu Tian set all experience from killing monsters to be given to his clone.
Starting with the Owl form to apply debuffs, he directly unleashed the [Myriad Spirits Possession] sixteen-hit combo, like bullets from a Gatling gun, flying out.
Tututut...
The Scorched Beast's health dropped significantly.
He quickly killed the first one before the cooldown of Myriad Spirits Possession even recovered.
This was much faster than the time it took him to kill one before.
【Ding... Kill: Scorched Beast, Over-level Kill Experience Bonus 1500%, Gained Experience 176000 (Base Experience +5500, Over-level Kill Reward +82500 Experience, God-Tier Talent Growth +88000 Experience).】
【Ding... System Prompt: 100% of the current monster kill experience is shared with the clone character [Wo Bu Shi Dao Ze].】
【Ding... System Prompt: Congratulations, your clone [Wo Bu Shi Dao Ze] has leveled up to level 2!】
【Ding... System Prompt: Congratulations, your clone [Wo Bu Shi Dao Ze] has leveled up to level 3!】
...
On the clone's side, with a flash of golden light, it directly leveled up by 10 levels.
Chu Tian was extremely envious. It took him many days to level up his main character to level 10.
Moreover, he discovered that the experience bonus from the God-Tier talent, after being shared, could be transferred entirely to his clone.
One...
Two...
Three...
Continuously killing [Scorched Beasts], his clone kept leveling up.
When he killed the tenth one.
【Ding... System Prompt: By extensively killing [Zovaal]'s subordinates in the Soul Devouring Abyss, you have attracted his attention.】
Hmm? What is Zovaal?
He was stunned for a moment and immediately entered stealth.
He carefully observed his surroundings, but after a while, he found nothing unusual.
Chu Tian was confused. The system prompt just now couldn't be useless.
This Zovaal was probably a very powerful NPC, or a monster, and not of low rarity. In the Heavenly Dao world, NPCs who had their own names were remarkable existences.
After observing for a while longer and confirming there were no issues, he found another Scorched Beast and continued farming.
After killing a few more cautiously, there was no abnormality.
Having familiarized himself with the killing method of the Scorched Beast, he had entered a state of mental auto-pilot. He didn't need to pay special attention and had already mastered the rhythm.
Suddenly, a giant white light sphere appeared in the sky.
Chu Tian, who had already stopped paying attention, was jolted awake.
This light sphere appeared out of nowhere and descended upon Chu Tian with extreme speed.
Looking at its range and speed, even if he activated the swiftness skill on his boots, he couldn't escape its range.
Gritting his teeth, he transformed: Bear Form: Druid transforms into Bear Form, your Agility can increase dodge chance, Defense increases by 300%, Stamina increases by 350%. Immune to shapeshifting magic effects and can use various bear-specific skills. Transformation can remove all shapeshifting and movement restriction effects on the caster.
After equipping the [Blazing Necklace], his all attributes increased by another 50 points.
At this moment, his health had reached a cap of 10010 points.
The 350% health bonus from transforming into a bear caused Chu Tian's health to surge to 35035 points.
His defense also soared from 1858-2034 points to 5574-6102 points.
Boom...
The magic light sphere landed on him.
-35033!
Chu Tian's mind felt like it was exploding.
He quickly controlled his body to prepare to move.
Suddenly, more than a dozen manacles emerged from the ground.
They were all attached to chains and directly bound him.
With 475 Agility, his movement speed had reached 195%.
This was still the movement speed without the Panther form transformation.
But the moment he was bound by the chains, his movement speed dropped to only twenty-five percent.
The slow movement speed caused Chu Tian's upright bear body to pause.
With only two drops of health left, not only was his movement speed slowed, but his actions also became sluggish.
He pulled out a instant recovery potion and threw it into his mouth, but the action was incredibly slow.
Although there was no follow-up damage after this one light sphere, the Scorched Beast he was attacking swung its arms, swinging the chains on its arms.
It had already made the motion of releasing a sweep.
Transforming into Panther form, activating the boots' skill: Swiftness!
Swish... Chu Tian's figure instantly accelerated, rushing out of the sweep's attack range.
"Phew..." Chu Tian let out a long breath.
Fortunately, the Druid transformation could remove any movement speed restriction effects.
However, the action deceleration had not been removed.
He ran quickly, and the chains stretched infinitely.
He threw the intermediate instant recovery potion into his mouth.
+8000!
His health was instantly replenished by more than half.
Chu Tian, who originally intended to break the chains, found after running a long distance that these chains seemed to be infinitely extendable.
He had no choice but to circle back to the position of the manacles and saw that they had health.
He swung his claws, one at a time, breaking the manacles.
The chains finally disappeared, and his attack speed returned to normal.
The Scorched Beast had not much health left.
He couldn't bear to disengage and let the monster regenerate health quickly. It would be like all his efforts were in vain.
Transforming into Owl form, he unleashed [Myriad Spirits Possession] sixteen-hit combo!
Sunlight, Moonlight, Starfall, Full Moon Drop, and other skills poured out.
The cute and clumsy quail was like a Gatling gun emitting blue fire.
It madly spewed flames.
-7895!
-5942!
-15897!
-2564!
-3564!
...Waves of damage floated up.
【Ding... Kill: Scorched Beast...】
He stepped forward to pick up the dropped items, transformed into Panther, and controlled his clone to run away quickly.
Because he noticed that the vortex-like sky suddenly flashed.
A vaguely discernible light sphere was about to form above his head.
If he didn't run now, he feared he wouldn't have the chance.
He had glanced at the attack prompt earlier, and this thing was called [Soul Turbulence].
The skill description was: You have attracted Zovaal's attention. He has ordered periodic, map-wide targeted AoE attacks of [Soul Turbulence] on you.
Damn it...
What exactly is this Zovaal?
