Another five bullets fired out and exploded on the Ogre Prophet’s body. The Boss roared like a maniac in its phantom state. In the beginning, Lin Jie could still understand him. Later on, whether the Boss went mad or insane, the Boss began shouting like a madman in ancient Ogre language. Lin Jie could not understand a single word, but who cared?

The soul that was moving wildly began to summon all sorts of weapons. Giant Hammer, Giant Axe, Broadsword… but they were all useless. Since they were all melee weapons, they were of no threat to Lin Jie and his Silent Killer. In fact, over 80% of Ogres were melee-fighters.

Lin Jie stood afar and continued to shoot as he consumed a bottle of Middle-Grade Agility Pills, which could increase the Attack Speed of far-distance attacks. This was the reason Hunters with high-agility jobs attacked like machine guns.

‘Silent Killer’s attack is getting weaker,’ thought Lin Jie. After all, he was a Warrior, and his strength would decrease when using ranged weapons. Back then, Silent Killer was only powerful because his basic stats far exceeded others. Now that everyone was at a higher level, he was slowly losing this advantage.

Lin Jie needed to upgrade Silent Killer! That young weapon engineer called Fire Bomb might be able to help him. Lin Jie’s attacks did not let up even as he drafted up his plan for his improvements in his mind. He continued to reload and shoot calmly, dealing the greatest possible damage he could.

Normally, Lin Jie would have used Broken Blade and practiced his combo attack for greater efficiency. However, the whereabouts of the two Bandits were unknown as of now, and he had to remain vigilant.

Although it might seem as if he was being overly-paranoid, this was also a form of training for himself. It was as if there were two Bandits waiting to pounce at him from the back at any given time. This ensured that Lin Jie had to be alert all the time and be in a defensive state, which served as good training for his awareness.

Since the Ogre Prophet was in a phantom state, his health recovery was extremely slow. As Lin Jie slowly depleted its health, it could do nothing but cry out crazily.

When its health dropped to 20%, the Boss suddenly roared and used the Enraged Skill [Soul Resurrection], which temporarily increased all of its stats by 150% for 4 minutes. However, this was nothing but a tantrum, and it only gave Lin Jie, who was shooting from afar, more joy in killing it.

After 3.5 hours, Lin Jie finally took down the Boss’ last bit of health! Luckily, he was using Silent Killer, which could shoot 5 consecutive shots. If it were a normal Dark Gold fire gun or even one that was Gold, it would have taken him over 10 hours!

Ding~

—’You have killed the Dark Gold Boss [Ogre Prophet Gaulon]. You received 5,000,000 EXP and 400 Guild of Light Reputation.’

Lin Jie looked at his experience bar, and it had increased by a whopping 8%! On top of that, the Boss dropped three items. They were crude and dirty—leather, a totem, and a key.

[Ogre Prophet’s Mould]: Special item. Consumable item. The Ogres’ large bodies often kept them exposed, so the smart Prophet created a mold, which could absorb the essence of equipment and change them into equipment that would suit an Ogre’s body.

Effect: It smelts 5 to 10 fragments of equipment and changed them into an equipment fragment of the same grade.

“A mold?” Lin Jie was slightly shocked. This item was extremely rare, and it could smelt equipment fragments into others of the same grade. However, this was a trade that gave no profits. After smelting 5 to 10 Dark Gold Fragments, only one Dark Gold Fragment would be produced. Unless one was missing an extremely high-grade Dark Gold Fragment, nobody in their right mind would be willing to spend this money.

Lin Jie kept the mold for now in case there would be a time he would need it in the future.

The second item was a totem. It was grey and looked like a ball carved from marble with many Ogres carved onto it. The violent howls of souls could be heard coming out of it, and it was unbearable.

[Munjo Totem]: It takes 3 minutes to cast and 3 minutes for cooldown. It increases the Attack Power of allies within a 50-yards radius by 10%. The totem has 300 health points and will disappear once destroyed.

Munjo Totem was a decent item for group buffs, but the time needed to cast and for cooldown was too long. The last item drop was [Key Fragment] (One). He would be able to combine four to form a Munjo Treasure Vault Key! As he took the key, Lin Jie instantly received a system prompt message. He had gotten the [Munjo Prince’s Blessings], which increased his stats by 5% in the underground city.

Lin Jie held the key and smiled. The most rewarding part of this trip was the pile of food! He quickly kept the loot and summoned Holy Light Winged Armor, allowing it to devour the soul of Munjo Ogre Prophet.

Holy Light Winged Armor shook excitedly in its brilliant light. The soul of the Ogre Prophet let out a heart-wrenching wail indignantly but was devoured by the Holy Light Winged Armor.

Just as Holy Light Winged Armor was unleashing its power, the dazzling radiance emitted from it shone onto the wall and revealed a hidden picture! This picture was similar to the one Ogre Princess was sitting on, which was also the picture of the Wind Rider Sword Saint using his sword art! However, the picture was not complete. Lin Jie took a closer look, and his skill column glowed. The progress of [Anti-Slash] increased to 25%!

Lin Jie immediately understood that once he observed all 4 pictures, there would be a change to Anti-Slash!

This skill must be related to the combo attack technique! Since this was a game, there must be rules in the game. When one’s skill technique had reached its peak or limit, the person must then borrow the help of the game’s rule. As such, Lin Jie did not immerse himself in trying to understand the techniques alone.

When he finished looking at the mural, Lin Jie immediately used Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner to destroy the wall. He completely ruined the mural before leaving.

…

After 30 minutes, two shadows appeared in the underground room, one tall and skinny while the other was short and fat. Tomorrow Night carefully observed the surroundings and was horrified to know that this map was completely swept clean by someone! When he saw the broken wall, he had a bad feeling. As he approached it, his face turned as white as a ghost. The important picture on the wall was destroyed!

“F*ck!” Tomorrow Night tightened his fist, and his eyes lit up with rage. Even so, he did not say many words. Only the dagger in his hand began to spin faster and faster, slicing through the air.

Yesterday Morning laughed at his misfortune. “Hah! Who told you to not let me kill him directly? Now, isn’t this great? Our mission is doomed, and your combo attack cannot be completed. Hahaha… Anyways, you have already learned the top technique of a Bandit. You are a master of Vanishing Steps, why did you come here to learn the combo attack of a Warrior? Do you have nothing better to do?”

Tomorrow Night took a deep breath and shut his eyes before opening them again. The anger in his eyes was gone, and he was calm as water now. He stopped spinning his dagger, and it came to a rest.

“Let’s go.” Tomorrow Night said in a low tone as he left the room.

“Go? Where? To do what? Don’t tell me you are planning to find that fellow? Let me tell you, Tomorrow Night, there are indeed some techniques that you can train. But it’s impossible for you to find him and learn the combo attack that was given by the system! This is a game, you can’t just create your own skill just because you are a fast learner…”

“Kill.”

Tomorrow Night left a word and disappeared into Stealth Mode. Yesterday Morning was shocked. He then smiled and placed his large blade onto his shoulder. “God damn it, I was waiting for that word. You, fatso, made me wait too long…”

…

+650!

+650!

In the corner of the Munjo Underground City’s ruins, where nobody could see, Lin Jie silently gnawed at a magic loaf of bread. He stared out through the cracks in the ruins and observed like a hawk to prevent himself from being ambushed.

The health recovery of the magic loaf of bread was fast. In less than 10 seconds, the health he had lost from clearing the ruins were regained. He realized that there were at least three Undead Ogres in every area of ruins. On top of that, the first attack taken when aggroing the monsters could not be blocked, so he had no choice but to eat. After every battle, he would only have less than half his health left and had to eat the food immediately.

These replenishments were manna from heaven!

After finishing the last chunk of bread in his mouth, Lin Jie finally stood up and headed for the treasure chest. There seemed to be a treasure chest in every ruin. Since the Undead Ogres would not drop any items, this must be the compensation from the system.

However, the grades of the treasure chests were low. The Gold chest Lin Jie had opened at the very start was already the best out of them all. When he opened the treasure chest, the first thing he saw was Wind Rider Sword Saint’s Training Handbook Fragments.

Other than that, there was a Skill Book: [Munjo Forward Charge], an enhanced charging skill, which allowed the change of direction while charging forward. There was an additional Strength Judgement, which reduced the cooldown of Munjo Forward Charge by 30% when succeed!

“Munjo Underground City gives out a Munjo version of enhanced skills! No wonder it’s a hidden map. There are not many enhanced skills out on the market, and 60% of them are upgraded in the wrong direction. For example, Forward Charge becomes upgraded to Strengthening Skill. Although it can provide immunity while using the skill, it loses its Stun effect. What’s the point?”

Lin Jie smiled gleefully and placed the skill book into his bag. “If there could be a skill book in every area, I’ll be rich! Also, my Holy Light Winged Armor can advance its stats after absorbing so much energy. I’m gaining so much.”

He arranged his inventory and continued forward!

After tasting the sweet benefits of the Munjo Underground City, Lin Jie would not let go of a single room. He went ahead and cleared all of the monsters before hiding in a corner to recover his health, leaving the treasure chest untouched first.

This was his plan. Bandits were obsessed with treasure chests, and they would not be able to leave one unopened. If those two Bandits dared to open the treasure chest, he would kill them instantly!
