Chapter 192: Night Sentinels

Lin Jie looked at Gilian excitedly and directly stared at that Gold-Grade Character Card until she got goosebumps all over, then Lin Jie grinned with satisfaction, walking towards the destination.

‘Looks like the grade of this Character is Gold, from her performance, the mission clue indeed also points to the Thana Great Forest. Who would have expected that she is so awesome, hehe. The Unlucky Prince, moi, bringing around a personal bodyguard… If the mission is activated, then it would be a huge profit.’ Lin Jie was pondering in his heart, in his previous life, the hidden mission of Silver Character Cards was enough for players to rack their brains, no to mention a Gold Character, right?

For that, Lin Jie had enough patience.

As the monsters in Thana Great Forest were mainly of nature attributes, it was very difficult for Lin Jie, who was relatively weak in Mana Defense, to find a suitable leveling ground. It was fortunate that he knew a location that spawned Night Sentinels.

Night Sentinels were Night Elves from City of Elves that had revolted due to all kinds of reasons. Those Night Sentinels had gathered together after being banished, and they were still protecting this land.

What was astonishing was that after Gilian killed all the Butterfly Demons, the forest also seemed to have lost the interest in teasing Lin Jie, the road was smooth without obstructions.

Playing with the Secret Techniques of Clomaros in his hands, Lin Jie recalled something from his previous life. The number of items similar to “Secret Techniques of Clomaros” and “Secret technique of Vurtne” had not been in the few. When those types of items just appeared, they had certainly attracted the attention of a large number of players; their price had even risen rapidly when they appeared for the first time in the Auction House. However, the activation condition for those types of items was too weird, and there was a so-called “chance.”

In other words, even if one fulfilled the activation condition, it was not 100% that it would be activated. If one did not find that miraculous chances, then that secret technique would be completely useless!

This already felt like a scam? No, it was far more than just a scam! What was more shrewd was that before one stumbled on that chance… There would not be any system prompt message.

Due to the many scams that were difficult to meet, many players in Lin Jie’s previous life had obtained the secret technique, but few players could obtain the skill from it. Afterward, countless players had learned a lesson from their failures: After trying to activate the mission for two days, if one did not succeed, then they should give up immediately.

—’You have entered the Night Sentinels’ Camps.”

A dark purple crystal gradually appeared in front of him. He could only see a camp that was formed with tens of tents in a circular shape. In the middle of the camp was a bright purple crystal, which was the source of the Night Elves’ strength—The Heart of The Forest. It could provide endless battle power and regen abilities for the Night Elves.

The pale, purple-colored Night Elves’ leader keenly realized that something was wrong in the air, and a pair of eyes covered by his race stripes scanned the direction Lin Jie was at, the dagger that was at his waist could not help but automatically apply venom that gave off a sweet smell already. His eyes flashed, and his body disappeared.

“Not good.” Lin Jie retreated quite a few steps.

[Night Sentinel]: Level 34, Health Points: 22,000

[Night Sentry]: Level 34, Health Points: 20,000

Sentinels were split into two types, one was the Night Sentinels that wore leather armor and were skilled in using daggers for close combat. Their attacking speed was average, their Attack Power was around 250-400, and their daggers had crippling poison, every attack dealt an additional 10 points of damage to the target and decreased 2% Attack Power. If one were to fight with them, their Attack Power would be corroded to the extreme.

Seeing the Night Sentinel disappear from Lin Jie’s line of sight, he immediately held Thunderbolt Sword and Broken Blade in his hands simultaneously, one front one back. The Night Sentinels only knew one skill: Ambush. It dealt 300% damage to the target, and there were chances of dealing a Critical Hit. In addition to its fearsome basic damage, once one was hit by Ambush, then it was either death or dangerously low health!

Whoosh—

Slight sounds of the piercing of wind could be heard as Lin Jie’s swung his Broken Blade.

Parry!

The Night Sentinel’s lithe and graceful body appeared, and an aura was shot form the tip of the dagger, striking Lin Jie’s chest and dealing 300+ damage.

Parry successful!

Lin Jie was elated, he used his Berserker’s strength advantage and directly pushed the sentinel away, while the hilt of the sword let out a fierce roar.

Dragon’s Roar!

-354!

The defense of the sentinel was quite good!

Taking advantage of the instant where the sentinel leaned backward, Army Obliteration was mercilessly pierced towards the sentinel’s eyes.

-958!

-956!

-412!

-966!

After Broken Blade was enhanced with gems, there was a significant increase in critical strike chance. Not only so, but Berserkers also had Critical Hit enhancement. Coupled with the Critical Hit enhancement from Blood-Enhancing Berries and the critical strike chance from the Berserker Potion, Lin Jie’s highest critical strike chance could reach 27%! That was a relatively fearsome critical strike chance. Even if it were an Assassin Bandit like Star Kill, most likely, their critical strike chance would not reach such a high number.

However, the Bandit skills were all enhanced with additional critical strike chances, so it was much easier for them to land Critical Hits as compared to Berserkers.

The Night Sentinel’s health points decreased by a small portion. The shady green crippling poison jumped on the tip of the dagger, and then attacked towards Lin Jie! The dagger bypassed the Broken Blade’s defensive attack at a very tricky angle and slid along the Thunderbolt Sword onto Lin Jie’s arm.

-185!

It was no wonder it was a level 34 monster, its Attack Power was not for show! Lin Jie silently drank down a bottle of Poison-Antidote Potion and continued to battle with it.

No matter how strong the sentinel was, it was only a Bandit-type monster. Under Lin Jie’s powerful attacks, its health points rapidly depleted, and its infamous crippling poison was totally countered by the Poison-Antidote Potion. Then, with a wail, its chest was sliced apart by Thunderbolt Sword.

—’You killed Night Sentinel, you received 2 City of Elves reputation.”

This group of rebels was killed to protect the City of Elves, and the person killing them could even obtain reputation rewards, it was really a pathetic joke.

Lin Jie took a look at the experience bar, and it increased by 0.05%, yes, just killing 2,000 monsters, and he could level up! This efficiency was relatively good.

Yet, the Secret Techniques of Clomaros had no reaction. Lin Jie was also not in a hurry, so he placed it in the most conspicuous place in his backpack and waited for the mission to be activated.

After the Night Sentinel died, it even dropped a [Chanting Poem]. After gathering 50 of such Chanting Poem and passing it to the Minstrel that sang for a living in the City of Elves inn, then one would activate the [Pitiful Sentinels] mission. After completing the mission, one would be rewarded a Gold Bladefist, it was one of the must-do missions of Druids. However, Lin Jie was not very interested in it, so he just casually threw the Chanting Poem away and scanned the Night Sentry in the distance.

The Night Sentry was riding a leopard, a javelin could be conjured anytime in his hand!

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

Lin Jie’s body became a dark figure and charged towards the Night Sentry! His iron boots left hideous traces as he stepped on the ground, he raised his longsword up high as if a ferocious tiger ready to be fed!

The Night Sentry conjured a javelin, and it formed a beautiful trajectory in the sky, just nicely hitting Lin Jie in his chest!

Forward Charge was interrupted!

That was the difficult part of killing sentries, they had repel effects.

What a pity, Wild Charge was an enhanced skill, the moment it was interrupted, Lin Jie’s speed instead increased rapidly! At the same time, Lin Jie, who had activated Wild Charge, had become a dark figure that was unable to be captured by naked eyes.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed beside the sentry and used Army Obliteration to attack right in front of it!

-1,214!

-612!

-1,235!

-524!

The difference in defense of the sentries and sentinels was not just one bit! After it was confronted up close, it almost did not have any ability to resist, in no time, it was chopped to death by a few of Lin Jie’s slashes. It dropped 10 Bronze coins, and a piece of [Chanting Poem] then went to meet its Elf ancestors.

Lin Jie sized up the camp, there were at least over 500 monsters. If Lin Jie wiped them out, he believed that he would be able to obtain quite the amount of EXP and coin profits.

Currently, there weren’t many Elf players that could level up here, right? As for Gilian, who pretended as if she was invisible, Lin Jie completely ignored her, the difficulty of activating a Gold Character’s mission was on par with the secret technique. Anyway, the mission locations were at the same place, he could finish killing slowly!

Lin Jie’s mentality was very positive, it was the same as buying lottery: Not winning, then just take it as showing love by spending money. If he won, then it was all due to his discerning eyes, blessed by the God of Fortune, cleverness, and sensibility, being the best in the world…

Meanwhile, as Lin Jie was hardworking and farmed monsters, a huge event happened within City of Light: Baili Xuanyuan who was locked up in jail due to failing in city siege… escaped prison!

While the whole City of Light was in a tizzy from the wanton capturing of the guards, the teleportation circle towards the City of Elves flashed brightly. A middle-aged man who gave off a somber vibe walked out gradually. A pair of ferocious eyes sized up the thick forest as he murmured, “This is really a beautiful and rich forest… Hehehe.”
