Anyone with discerning eyes could tell, the main shortcoming of the previous contestants was Sheyan. Against the blood-gold patterned Sunken Colony, even after factoring in its defence and damage reduction, it still dealt a terrifying damage of over a hundred points. Sheyan's innate ability 'Endurance' was reduced to a negligible degree! On the other hand, Reef fared much better. His innate ability was based on percentage of damage reduction. With double damage reduction, the damage he received was only slightly over 60 points. Moreover, his HP, equipment and skills were much higher than Sheyan's.
The trio sunk into an awkward silence as they stared at each other. Time swiftly flowed by. Counting the time they had to leave, in theory, they only had a short 10 minutes to use it. This included the time they needed to locate the weak point of the Spore Fungus and destroy it!
"Perhaps … … there's a way."
Reef took a deep breath and replied.
As he spoke, he removed his silver storyline grade shield 'Processed Alien Skull', and his black grade weapon 'Centaurus Plasma Lightsaber'. Following that, he removed his physique enhancing equipment, and proactively traded them to Sheyan.
"Your current problem is still your insufficient damage reduction. If you combine them together, and your defence is able to reduce the damage of the blood-gold patterned Sunken Colony to below 80 points, then it will be extremely impressive. Complementing your innate ability, you can display even greater utility. "
Sheyan received the equipment from Reef, he didn't even bother to equip it. After calculating a little, he earnestly shook his head and replied.
"It's useless, I haven't learnt 'Shield Mastery', I can at most display 80% of the shield's ability. You can display 120% of the shield's ability! There's a huge gap between us, not to mention that you still have the [Faith Armor], which is a very powerful meat shield. So, even if I get your equipment, I'll only be able to last as long as you last! Most importantly, your pure Vitality stat alone is 13 points higher than mine! The disparity is huge, there's no need to elaborate further. "
As he spoke, Sheyan took a deep breath and continued.
"So, the right way to go about it is for me to trade my equipment to you and gather our strength on you. I'll attack and support you at the same time! I've already calculated, if you use this equipment of mine, you can reach the 50 points of physique limit under the current difficulty! According to my speculations and the information I've obtained, there's a high chance that additional rewards will appear when a single attribute reaches the maximum value! What's more, even if I don't have any equipment, I can still buy you 10 seconds to take your medicine and bandage. Plus, I have a Merit Potion that can instantly replenish my full health. I can definitely complete this damned mission! "
"Of course, if the reward of 50 points of Physique is not enough to support us through this mission, then it's not too late to retreat and give up. We still have room for choice!"
As he spoke, he decisively traded his silver storyline accessory '+ 5 Monstrous Fighting Spirit' and the blue grade 'Rotten Bones Ring' (Strength + 1, Physique + 1) to Reef! That 'Rotten Bone Ring' was fine, but this' Monstrous Fighting Spirit 'caused Reef to inhale a breath of cold air! He stared at Sheyan in disbelief.
"This … this is a defensive silver storyline accessory?!!! He even managed to draw an accessory's unique rare attribute? You're actually willing to trade this equipment to me? You must understand, its value is comparable to any top grade dark-gold grade equipment or even green grade equipment! "
Sheyan laughed, bluntly replying.
"Since you can trust me, why can't I trust you?"
Reef didn't say anything else, time was of the essence and he couldn't afford to delay. He swiftly equipped the accessory that Sheyan traded to him. Then, he turned his head and gazed deeply into Sheyan's eyes. At the first instance, he initiated a trade with Sheyan. Within the trade options, it was shockingly a sparkling dark-gold necklace!

*****
"What are you doing?" Sheyan was astonished.
Reef calmly replied.
"This is to prevent you from losing everything if I die in battle!"
After speaking, Reef directly cast a 'Faith-guard' on himself! His entire body sparkled with a translucent icy glow. Without hesitation, he gripped his black lightsaber tightly as he silently charged forward! That feeling, was actually a kind of craziness of advancing alone against millions of enemies!
At present, this was the so-called 'pull one hair and the whole body moves'. When Reef moved, the others also charged forward! This was because the Sunken Colony was constructed in an extremely wretched manner. From their angle, it was completely obscured by that fat and bloated Spore Colony! Hence, if they wanted a shooting angle, they would have to circle around 20 metres in front and fire from the side.
Reef's charge was so abrupt and decisive that Sheyan didn't even have the time to remind him to 'warm up' his monstrous fighting spirit! Two terrifyingly sharp golden spikes pierced through the ground and pierced into Reef's body. Ripples could be seen on the translucent 'Faith-guard', as dark red blood spurted out! Sheyan didn't hesitate to equip his dark-gold necklace, and immediately activated its' formatting 'ability!
Instantly, Sheyan felt a surge of heat flowing through his body, his strength surging to 27 points (after consuming the 'Bear Flesh Medicine')! Even so, Sheyan's HP was still left with 330 points, and his physique was at 18 points! With such statistics, coupled with his innate ability 'Endurance', his survivability was still relatively valiant! He reckoned it wasn't inferior to Qiao Gun of the Symbiosis sect. The reason why Sheyan dared to do so, was because of that honorary 'High Protein Potassium Injection Gun Dosage' gifted to him by Reef! That item ensured that as long as Sheyan wasn't instantaneously killed, then he would have two lives. To the previous Sheyan, the reason why he didn't purchase that item wasn't because he couldn't bear to part with his honorary points, but because he lacked utility points.
Because Reef only wore one accessory previously, the 'Monstrous fighting spirit' boosted his attributes. Apart from physique, it also boosted his perceptive sensing by 6 points, strength by 2 points and agility by 5 points! That was to say, Reef's current agility had reached a terrifying 33 points! This was a value that even many agility long range attackers couldn't reach! Hence, a mere 50 metres of distance to Reef was akin to a gale! He then raised his lightsaber and chopped down!
The exterior of this Sunken Colony was blood red, with golden veined patterns on its surface. It looked exceptionally malevolent and vicious. Although the interval between attacks of this Sunken Colony was slow, the instantaneous effects of its attacks were relatively quick. Trying to use tactics like rolling or jumping to evade was completely impossible.
After being slashed by the black lightsaber, a scorch mark shockingly appeared on its surface, emitting an unbearable smell of burnt flesh. As one of the most important battle organs of the arachnid race, it instantly converted the pain into battle prowess. Mercilessly, it once again pierced out with its razor-sharp tentacles towards Reef!
Although the Sunken Colony only released two tentacles each time, the shameless thing was that the damage dealt by the two tentacles was one time. Hence, the damage dealt was exceedingly high, to the extent that Sheyan couldn't withstand more than a few hits. That was why the damage dealt was so high. Furthermore, Reef had been pierced once during his sprint, and now was the second time! This could only mean one thing! That was, the 'Monstrous fighting spirit' accessory had reached its strongest state, directly raising 10 points of physique! This signified that Reef's current physique had already reached the limit of the current difficulty.
The limit of 50 points of physique!! (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
