Chapter 39 Water vine staff, permanent underwater breathing!
Cheng Qianmo didn't know that Ding Hong had a revenge plan specifically targeting him that was about to begin.
He is still making final preparations for the hidden mission [The Disappearing Shadow].
"We have the turtle tail, we have the fishing gear, and now there is just one last thing missing."
[The Disappearing Shadow] The actual process of this task is actually very simple, but there is a lot of preparation work to be done.
Cheng Qianmo was determined to win the reward for this task, so he was 100% prepared.
"I remember, it should be the island opposite."
"There should be a rare boss there."
Cheng Qianmo is currently at the beach in the north of Novice Village.
The location here is at the other end of the beach where the flatback sea turtles were killed before, which is a bit far away.
The island he is looking for now is a very famous rare monster spawning spot in his previous life.
Because on this island, a rare boss - sticky radiation dust - will be refreshed every 72 hours.
Even though its name is radioactive dust, it is actually an out-and-out water element.
This boss is level 18, which is not too strong.
But it will drop a very useful weapon - the Water Vine Staff.
The Water Vine Staff is one of the few weapons in Apocalypse Continent that has special effects.
As long as you wear it, you can breathe underwater permanently, which is very domineering.
In Tianqi Continent, the limit for everyone to stay in the water is 2 minutes.
If there is no special protection, once 2 minutes are up, blood will continue to be deducted every second.
Each time the blood is deducted, it will reduce the current blood volume by 10%, which means that you can survive for up to 10 seconds, and then you will die immediately.
And because of the death penalty in Apocalypse Continent, it is very abnormal.
Therefore, people generally do not enter the water easily unless they have to do some important tasks, because the risk is too great.
If you are attacked by someone in the water, you will be easily killed.
In fact, with Cheng Qianmo's strength, there is not much need to use the water vine staff.
But after careful consideration, he came anyway just to be on the safe side.
After all, he can only do the hidden mission [The Disappearing Shadow] once.
If you fail, you will never get the newbie artifact.
Cheng Qianmo quickly swam to the island. After searching around, he finally found today's target - sticky radioactive dust - behind a small mountain range.
However, Cheng Qianmo didn't know that just after he landed on the island, two black figures appeared on the water in the distance.
They were assassins hired by Zhao Yan'er who spent a lot of money to record Cheng Qianmo's itinerary.
"What do you think, brother? He has landed on the island. Should we follow him?"
"This island is very small. It only takes less than 10 minutes to circle around it. If we follow it, we may be exposed."
"Then we are still here to guard?"
"Well, this is the safest way. There is no other way out anyway. He can't disappear suddenly."
The two assassins, after a brief discussion, decided to stay here.
After all, their main task is to keep an eye on Cheng Qianmo, and there is no need for a head-on conflict with him.
How much money you get and how much work you do is their consistent policy.
Stalking others is actually a very shameful behavior.
If you can complete the task without exposing yourself, that's the best.
If you follow too closely and are discovered by the person involved, leading to enmity, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Another point is that their own strength is not very strong, otherwise they would not take on such a task.
Judging from the price offered by Zhao Yaner, the person being followed must be quite powerful.
The two of them are not 100% sure of victory.
So for reasons and reasons, there was no need for them to follow.
...
Cheng Qianmo glanced at the information about sticky radioactive dust.
[Viscous radiation dust, level 18 rare elite, elemental creature, health value 3500 points. 】
At this moment, if it were an ordinary person with only level 15, it would be an almost impossible task for him to single-handedly kill a rare boss of level 18.
But this is not difficult for Cheng Qianmo, who has experienced many battles.
What's more, he also has the advantage of attribute points, and his true strength cannot be measured simply by level.
"Long time no see, sticky radioactive dust!"
The sticky radioactive dust is about 2 meters tall and its whole body is dark green.
Its main body is entirely composed of water sources contaminated by radiation.
On the wrists of both hands, there is also a ring bracelet inlaid with gemstones, which looks very beautiful.
This is a typical characteristic of elemental creatures. Cheng Qianmo couldn't remember the last time he saw it, so he sighed.
Then Cheng Qianmo smiled and took out a new staff, which is the initial weapon owned by all newcomers.
He raised his staff high and muttered a spell in his mouth.
2 seconds later, a fireball burning with raging flames flew towards the sticky radiation dust.
boom!
The sticky radioactive dust was hit, and flames suddenly burst out.
At the same time, a damage number also appeared on its head.
-439
A single shot can do more than 400 points of damage, which is considered a pretty good output skill.
This is also the reason why most of the main output skills of mage professions require reading.
If the damage is high and it is instantaneous, then all humans will switch to mages, and other professions will become useless.
The sticky radiation dust quickly discovered the attacker, and its body began to shake violently.
After a moment, more than ten pieces of sludge were sprayed out.
It uses the skill - Corrosive Mud.
Anyone hit by the corrosive mud will be slowed down by 30% and all physical damage will be reduced by 50 points for a total of 6 seconds.
50 points of physical damage is a fatal weakening for melee professions not exceeding level 20.
You know, Cheng Qianmo's current single physical damage, without triggering his passive, is only over 100 points.
If he is hit by corrosive mud, the physical damage is directly halved.
And what's even more painful is that if you are hit by multiple corrosive muds, this debuff will be superimposed.
If a melee class is hit several times, it basically turns into a useless person within 6 seconds.
At this moment, Cheng Qianmo quickly calculated in his mind the landing points of all corrosive mud.
His feet made strange steps.
Dodged all attacks very easily.
At some point, the staff in his hand turned into a long sword.
Cheng Qianmo took advantage of the situation and approached the viscous radiation dust, and directly used Split Wave.
Just when the red arc of Split Wave Zhan lit up, five sword energy also came out, and Split Wave Zhan's passive was triggered!
-102
-125
-114
-126
...
A series of damage numbers of different sizes emerged.
Because the entire body of sticky radioactive dust is water, it has no fatal weakness.
No matter which part you attack, you can only receive basic damage.
At this moment, a circle of green gas suddenly burst out from under the feet of the sticky radiation dust.
Cheng Qianmo decisively used retreat steps to evacuate, and at the same time switched his sword to a Gatling gun.
These green gases are another skill of sticky radiation dust - Radiation Cloud.
The radiation cloud contains highly toxic substances. As long as it is contaminated, it will continue to lose blood every second.
Fortunately, Cheng Qianmo had anticipated it in advance, so he was not hit.
At this time, he picked up the heavy Gatling gun and aimed it at the rocks behind the sticky radiation dust.
In an instant, a large number of bullets poured out crazily.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
After the rock was shot by bullets, it instantly turned into three boulders and smashed down heavily.
The viscous radiation dust was still releasing clouds of radiation at this moment. He didn't even react and was directly hit by these boulders.
-872(environmental damage)
-799 (environmental damage)
-1021 (environmental damage)
Three astonishing injury figures emerged.
The sticky radiation dust was actually crushed to death and instantly turned into a puddle of sewage.
Cheng Qianmo successfully used environmental damage to complete the murder.
At this time, in the sewage, a staff inlaid with white gems was shining. It was the water vine staff!
Cheng Qianmo walked over with a smile on his face and picked up the water vine staff.
【Water Vine Staff】
[Quality: Excellent]
[48-73 damage]
【8Spirit】
[Durability 100/100]
[Item level: 20]
[Equipment effect: The user can breathe underwater without restriction.]
Looking at the properties of the Water Vine Staff, Cheng Qianmo nodded slightly.
Item level refers to the quality evaluation of the equipment itself, not the character's equipment level.
The basic attributes of the Water Vine Staff are not very impressive, but the item level has reached 20, which relies entirely on the special effects of underwater breathing.
"Yes, you are the one I want!"
"Now that all preparations have been completed, it is time to complete [The Disappearing Shadow]."
Cheng Qianmo held the water vine staff and prepared to leave.
When he came to the shore of the island, he suddenly felt something.
In the water not far away, the water surface seems to be undulating strangely.
"Am I being followed?"
Intuition told Cheng Qianmo that the strange water ripples just now were not an accident.
After some thinking, he had a guess in his mind.
"Humph, just wait patiently."
Then he held the water cane staff and plunged into the water.
