Since the start of the battle, Sheyan had already noticed this old fogey hiding in the back. Evidently, this old fogey had to be entangled. If a spellcaster was allowed to continue chanting incantations from the back, even if he was just putting on an act, it would definitely cause one's hair to stand on end. Moreover, Sheyan had personally witnessed the scene of Mbenga being corroded by the old fogey's parasites.
After activating 'Horn-rage', Sheyan was like an enraged bull as he effortlessly knocked aside the remaining foes. Then, he viciously toppled the old fogey into the muddy water. Seizing the opportunity of the old fogey's frantic struggle and dazed state, Sheyan circled to his back and delivered a slash!
Due to his previous experience of fighting against this Ndipaya elder, Sheyan was able to summarize his combat experience.
That humongous mask was truly nauseating. Its defensive capabilities were exceedingly high, and it covered a wide range! His vital points were tightly guarded. Reflecting on this painful experience, Sheyan immediately considered attacking from the back where the mask wasn't blocking. Indeed, his slash directly struck the old fogey's vital points. The old fogey immediately turned his hand to rub the wound on his back, as he screamed miserably. It was as though his hemorrhoids had flared up, and he had just eaten half a catty of chilli to go to the toilet!
After receiving a slash, the masked elder immediately turned around and faced Sheyan with his humongous mask. It appeared as though he wasn't going to give Sheyan another chance. Furthermore, the old fogey's mask was painted with a pair of lifeless, deathly white eyes. When facing him, one couldn't help but feel a sense of absent-mindedness, causing one's attacks to deviate from their target.
Sheyan patiently contended with this old fogey. This old fogey's close combat prowess wasn't weak either. His wooden club (staff?) was extremely thick and sturdy.
Relying on his coarse skin and thick flesh, Sheyan forcefully endured several strikes. Then, his body flashed with a blue radiance, and 'Zergling Rush' was triggered! A ruthless glint flashed past his eyes. He immediately pulled out 'Ambition' and activated 'Rum and Songs'. He aimed at this elder's head and fired a shot!
The defence of that gigantic wooden mask was exceedingly strong. Almost all of the damage from that shot was absorbed by it. Fortunately, the stun effect of the lead bullet could still last for 2 seconds. Seizing this opportunity, Sheyan circled behind that old bastard and brandished his' + 7 West '!
This time, it was not a problem that could be solved with an ordinary slash.
Sheyan slashed down three times in a row. Warm blood splattered all over Sheyan's body. The defense of the old man's back seemed to be particularly weak. Sheyan's three slashes almost took away half of his life! Once again, the elder released an earth-shattering shriek. Turning around in an incomparably miserable state, he swung his club back. Sheyan forcefully endured this blow, but his lips curled into a sinister smirk. Then, he strode forward and crashed into the Ndipaya elder's bosom. The two then entered into a melee brawl. Chanting incantations and whatnot had become an exceedingly extravagant activity for this elder.
Previously, when Sheyan had circled around to the back, those four vicious slashes of his were exceedingly vicious, dealing shockingly high damages. Hence, when the Ndipaya elder entered into melee combat, and even summoned his subordinates to assist him, those subordinates were only capable of spreading deadly diseases. In the face of Sheyan's' Stronghold 'damage reduction, their attacks were utterly useless. Hence, he didn't persist for long, and was brutally beaten to death by Sheyan. After his neck was snapped, a black key dropped out.
Upon witnessing the 'goods' dropping, both Sheyan and Reef's spirits were roused, as though they had been injected with a stimulant. Although the Ndipaya elder appeared to be half-immune to Reef's' Shattering Cardiac Roar ', the rest of the Ndipaya barbarians were still incapable of resisting the formidable might of a Growth-hunter.
Their greatest weapon, 'Disease', was utterly ineffective against Sheyan and Reef. Furthermore, they were unable to encircle Sheyan after being slowed down. Unavoidably, Sheyan would slash at them from the back, causing them to wail in disarray. In addition, Reef's valiant servants and Mbenga had also stepped forward to assist. Thus, it didn't take long for the barbarians to be slaughtered.
As they proceeded to clean up the battlefield, Sheyan and Reef discovered very few harvests in this village. Apart from finding another stone slab without exception, they didn't obtain anything else. Medicinal herbs, gold, hidden treasures and the like weren't found at all. Sheyan and Reef reckoned that their previous assault had alerted the enemy, leading them to scorched-earth tactics.
Fortunately, the black key dropped by the Ndipaya elder was rather decent. It actually yielded two exceedingly valuable objects – a sparkling gem, and a lifelike golden beetle.
[Name: Diamond]
[Type: Valuable object]
[Material: Carbon]
[Origin: Hidden World: Resident Evil, Origins]
[Weight: 3.5 carats]
[Description: This is an exceedingly valuable treasure. It can be sold for a good price anywhere. You can even bring it back to the present world]
*****
[You obtained a unique valuable object of this world: Golden Beetle]
[Golden Beetle]
[Valuable object, special product. Will only appear in the hidden world: Resident Evil, Origins]
[Description: This is a beetle that lived in ancient times. After being buried underground for millions of years, it formed an amber-like crystal. Exceedingly valuable]
[Value: You can keep it as a gift, or exchange it for 50,000 utility points. Alternatively, you can exchange it for 3 achievement points]
Of these two objects, although the diamond didn't have a price tag, Sheyan reckoned it definitely wouldn't be inferior to the golden beetle. If such a high drop rate could be maintained, then after cleaning up the outskirts, they could basically break even.
*****
These two objects could be said to be priceless. The diamond could be exchanged for tens of thousands of utility points, while the latter's 3 achievement points could be compared to a main mission reward.
Of course, more importantly, after launching his assault, Sheyan had successfully obtained the title 'Invader'. This title's effect was a 10% increase in damage dealt to the Ndipaya barbarians, which was rather useless. However, at the same time, Sheyan received a notification from the nightmare realm.
[Your military rank is' Major '. The number of titles you obtained has reached the trigger requirement]
[You obtained the ability, 'Title synthesis'!]
[Title synthesis rules are as follows]
[A: You must obtain a Black-Iron class (including Black-Iron class) title and above as a carrier for title synthesis. If not, an ordinary title cannot withstand the energy overflow effect of title synthesis]
[B: Titles with similar buffs cannot participate in synthesis. (For example, if you simultaneously possess a 5% movement speed and a 3% movement speed title, you can only toss one title to participate in synthesis]
[C: The success rate of directly synthesizing a title is relatively low. You must pay the price of igniting a title to generate an energy overflow effect, allowing the title synthesis to proceed smoothly. The more titles you ignite, the greater the success rate of title synthesis]
[D: Title synthesis must be carried out in the realm. Certain fees may be incurred]
After carefully reading through these rules, Sheyan basically understood the process of title synthesis. Taking the process of cooking as an example, a Black-Iron class (including Black-Iron class) title and above was akin to an iron pot used for cooking. Without it, one couldn't cook. Instead, the additional titles one wished to add were akin to various ingredients, and couldn't be duplicated. It was like throwing a spoonful of salt into a dish while cooking, but throwing a little more would make the dish unpalatable.
Finally, the indispensable stove fire required one to collect those useless titles to ignite, thereby increasing the cooking time and increasing the success rate.
At present, Sheyan could determine that the additional attributes of multiple titles wouldn't disappear after synthesis, but could be stacked onto another title through title synthesis. As for whether new additional attributes would appear, that was hard to say.
After a round of careful analysis, both Sheyan and Reef had more or less recovered. Thus, they hurried towards their next target … ….
*****
There was no need to elaborate on the subsequent raids on the other villages. When they arrived at the third village, Sheyan and Reef were immune to most of the diseases. Moreover, this village's elder was probably the same one that Sheyan had slain while pursuing Mbenga. Thus, the village was like a dragon without a leader. Thus, the raid proceeded smoothly, as though they were crushing dry weeds.
Nevertheless, when they arrived at the largest Ndipaya village, the duo encountered the most ferocious resistance from the Ndipaya barbarians living in the periphery of the swamp. Two masked Ndipaya elders in addition to 50-60 henchmen were hiding in the mud outside the village. They had actually ambushed Sheyan and Reef!
Sheyan had always been puzzled as to why the first village they raided had so few inhabitants. Moreover, there wasn't an elder overseeing the village. As it turns out, they had come here that night to conduct an emotional exchange.
In this battle, Sheyan and Reef had suffered immensely.
To them, after the Ndipaya barbarians' diseases had lost their deterring effects, they were merely a little thicker in skin and flesh. However, Sheyan was ultimately just one man. Even if he was so awesome that he could directly activate 'Hornrage' amidst an army of ten thousand to suppress one of the masked Ndipaya elders, he had still bought sufficient time for the remaining elder to cast his ability!
