"Village chief!" Joseph immediately cried out. "The Golden Sword is a sacred sword passed down by our ancestors. How can we give it to an outsider?"
"The drought is getting worse. Do you want everyone in the village to die of thirst?" Husma was so angry that his beard trembled, and he said in a low voice, "Besides, the Golden Sword is also incomplete, so it's useless!"
"Village chief, you're wise!" Joseph immediately flattered.
Damn, these two actually dared to say such things in front of him. Zhang Yang couldn't help but be speechless.
Husma looked at Zhang Yang and said, "How about it, outsider? If you can get us enough water, I'll give you the ancient sacred sword!"
"Ding! Village chief Husma has issued you a quest: Find Water. Do you accept? "
Actually, Zhang Yang would accept the quest regardless of whether Husma gave him the item or not. After all, it would be easier to kill monsters with the quest's guidance. More importantly, the quest could lure out the boss. He didn't have to run around aimlessly.
Accept.
"Ding! You have received an item: Water Container x100. "
[Find Water] (Quest Difficulty: C)
Quest Description: Village chief Husma wants you to find enough clean water to solve the problem of the village's survival! However, this journey isn't safe. You'd better take care of yourself! According to Husma, there was an unpolluted lake on the Spirit Rock Mountain to the west of the village.
Completion: Retrieve Clean Water 0100
Quest Reward: Fragment of the Golden Sword
[Gilos Sword Fragment] (Special Item)
Item Description: Reforge seven fragments of the Gilos Sword into a complete Gilos Sword.
The quest didn't explain what the Golden Sword could be used for, and it clearly wasn't a combination item. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been labeled as a 'Special Item'.
Forget it. I'll do the quest first!
Zhang Yang left the wooden hut and, under Joseph's and Husma's envious and surprised gazes, he summoned his phoenix pet and flew away.
He flew straight to the west of the village. Although Husma said it wasn't far, Zhang Yang still flew for nearly two hours before he saw the Spirit Rock Mountain! It was no wonder. If it wasn't for the fact that the distance was so far, the villagers could easily come and retrieve the clean water themselves.
This mountain was not large. At the top of the mountain was a heavenly pond with a radius of ten meters. The water was clear and rippled under the gentle breeze.
Zhang Yang descended the Fire Phoenix and came to the shore. However, before he could take out a container to collect water, he saw dozens of black bison with a green mark on their backs rushing out of nowhere and forming a pincer around Zhang Yang. All of them were pawing their hooves and spewing out black flames from their nostrils!
[Death Bull] (Elite, Wild Beast)
Level: 185
Health Points: 9,250,000
Armor: 11570
Close Combat Attack Power: 81566 - 121566
Skills:
[Reckless Charge]: Collides with a target at high speed, causing the target to be stunned for 3 seconds and receive 50,000 physical damage. Range: 3 – 10 meters.
[Flames of Death]: Spits out flames of death, causing the target to lose 10% of their HP, but will not exceed 100,000 HP. Range: 30 meters Cooldown: 30 seconds. If the target is not within close combat range, Flames of Death has no cooldown time.
Note: Although the Death Bulls are not the most powerful creatures in the Marlin Salt Flats, when they travel in groups, they are enough to make any creature shrink back! Never try to provoke a group of Death Bulls, that means you are already dead!
"Moo!" A barbarian bull roared loudly and blew the horn to attack. Dozens of barbarian bulls charged towards Zhang Yang with their sharp horns.
So many monsters!
Moreover, Zhang Yang could not fly because he would be bombarded by the Flames of Death if he flew! If dozens of monsters attacked him with the Flames of Death, he would lose millions of HP. Even if he activated Shield Wall, he would still die in seconds!
Obviously, to collect the water, he had to kill these monsters first. Therefore, it was useless for Zhang Yang to run away. He would have to fight them sooner or later!
If that was the case, activate Phoenix Transformation!
The Fire Phoenix let out a long cry and its body suddenly expanded. Its purple and red feathers were overflowing with a dazzling divine light. It was majestic!
The Level 177 Phoenix Pet had 1278,060 base Health Points. With the support of the Stamina Aura and Phoenix Transformation, its maximum Health Points shot up to 36,000,000! This number could even be compared to Han Ying Xue's transformation state. One must know that Han Ying Xue had an S-Grade Legacy. This was enough to prove the importance of equipment!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One by one, the bulls crashed into Zhang Yang. Not only did they heavily injure Zhang Yang, but they also knocked him into a three-second stun state! However, Zhang Yang did not immediately use Warrior's Fury to resolve the stun state. Instead, he waited until all the monsters were close to him so that he would not be controlled one after another.
Flames of Death!
These bulls spat out black flames at Zhang Yang. Each time, Zhang Yang's Health Points would be deducted by 100,000! Skills that directly deducted Health Points were the same as Forbidden Scrolls. They would not be affected by any defense and would ignore the invincibility effect!
When the last bull was close, Zhang Yang activated Warrior's Fury to resolve the stun state. He swung the Death Scythe and after harvesting the first drop of Health Points from a bull, he immediately swung it! As the Phoenix Pet was large enough, these bulls could attack at the same time, which meant that they would take damage from the Sweep.
-389923！
-402344！
-873322！
…
Dozens of damage numbers popped up at the same time. If it was not a critical hit, it would be at least 380,000 damage. After a critical hit, it could even reach 900,000 damage! Although the Sweep did not have the characteristics of a penetrating attack, in front of these monsters that were completely spread out, it created a terrifying amount of damage!
As long as the Sweep could be used once every 10 seconds, the area of effect damage would definitely surpass all other skills — the main thing was that the cooldown time was too short!
Even the bulls with close to 10 million Health Points could not withstand such violent damage. All of them roared in anger and used their horns to push and poke at the Phoenix Pet!
As he needed the mount to increase the maximum Health Points of his pet, Zhang Yang did not dare to jump off his mount. Therefore, the area of effect skills that he could use were Oscillating Wave and Sweep. Thunder Strike could only be used when he was away from his mount. This caused him to fall into a temporary low after the Sweep.
In reality, his single target damage was still terrifying, but compared to the large area of effect damage from the Sweep, it was a far cry! After all, the Sweep itself was also a powerful single target damage skill.
9 seconds later, Zhang Yang used the Powered-up Strike.
Missed!
Sweep!
-1150928！
-1352928！
-1286720！
…
This time, the Sweep was even more terrifying. With the support of the Powered-up Strike, not only were all the attacks guaranteed to be critical hits, but the damage was also increased by 50%!
If a player saw Zhang Yang's performance at this time, they would definitely hold their heads and scream in disbelief, unable to believe their own eyes! What kind of concept was that? Even if at least 99% of the players who had activated the Legacy transformation, they would not be able to do that!
In reality, area of effect damage was not the biggest boost for the players who had transformed! Take Zhang Yang's God of War Transformation for example. Strictly speaking, only the God of War's Split was considered a specialized area of effect skill. The damage was only 10 times the strength. Without the support of the Brute Force Aura, it could only cause 190,000 damage per attack, which was only half of the basic attack damage of the Sweep!
However, considering that the God of War's Split covered an area of up to 50 meters and was not affected by obstacles, the more monsters there were, the more powerful the skill would be. When the number of monsters reached a certain level, this skill would leave the Sweep far behind!
Due to the Phoenix Pet's large size, the Raging Bulls were also very scattered. The Phoenix Pet's flames were also cone-shaped waves of fire. It could only slightly increase the area of attack as it moved its head. Therefore, at most, only one-sixth of the Raging Bulls would be hit by the Phoenix Pet's flames.
However, after activating the Phoenix Transformation, the Phoenix Pet's damage was almost doubled. It could easily deal 300,000 damage, which was equivalent to a Sweep attack every time. The Raging Bulls' Health Points dropped rapidly! Coupled with the firepower of Fei Ling, it did not take long for the monsters to die.
This was natural. Zhang Yang had already activated the Phoenix Transformation. It would be strange if he could not destroy the monsters!
Thud!
As the last Raging Bull fell, the battle finally came to an end. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang was not a Skinner. Otherwise, the skins of these Raging Bulls would definitely be worth a lot of money!
It was too shameful to waste them!
Zhang Yang shook his head. He took out a water bottle from his backpack and began to fill it up in the pool.
As the containers were filled up, the completion rate of the quest increased bit by bit. When all 100 water bottles were filled, he had completed the quest.
The Phoenix Pet's transformation could still last for a long time. Naturally, he could not waste it. Zhang Yang swept around and killed all the monsters he saw along the way. Then, he returned to the original village and handed in the quest to Husma.
When they saw Zhang Yang take out the filled water bottles, everyone in the village burst into excited cheers. They treated Zhang Yang like a hero. At this time, the hunting team had already returned. A bonfire was lit in the village and a huge Elephant-Nosed Pig was set up. The alluring smell of the pig spread throughout the entire forest.
Zhang Yang took out the fragment of the Golden Sword that he had just obtained. This was only a small part of the sword. Without recasting it, it was impossible to know what this thing could be used for. It was neither a weapon nor a quest. He really did not know what it could be used for!
Forget it. I'll just put it aside for now.
Zhang Yang sat next to Husma. As he ate the roasted meat, he said, "Since life here is so difficult, why didn't you consider leaving?"
"It's easier said than done!" Husma shook her head. "First of all, our ancestors have lived here for generations. Not many of us are willing to move away. Second of all, entering the Salt Crystal Field is fraught with danger! We moved once more than 20 years ago. In the end, we only covered a third of the distance and we lost a quarter of the villagers. All of them were adult men! If we continued to move forward, we would all be wiped out. So, we came back!
