Jiang Hao used his resurrection skill on the corpse of the white-shelled sea turtle king.

His total of 870 mana points were instantly wiped out, leaving him with only 80. Reviving a level 6 boss cost a whopping 790 mana points! If it weren't for the recent drop of a Black Iron-grade item, he probably wouldn't have had enough mana.

A large ball of gray light enveloped the two turtle boss corpses, each the size of a washbasin. After a full minute, a ghostly blue soul fire began to ignite within the empty heads of the skeletal turtles. Feeling that he could now control the skeletal turtle bosses, Jiang Hao began to examine his new summoned creature.

[Skull Turtle King]

Faction: Necromancer Summoned Items

Level: 6

Quality: Black Iron

life:

Physical attack: 819

Physical defense: 138

Speed: 33

Skill: Resilient. Retracts head and limbs into shell, increasing physical defense by 130 points and restoring 1200 health per second. Duration: 5 seconds. Cooldown: 20 seconds.

Bite, tearing the target and dealing damage equal to 120% of your attack power.

Collision: Collides with the target using the turtle shell, dealing area damage equal to 80% of attack power and stunning all targets within melee range for 1 second.

Claws: Wields claws to deal area damage equal to 100% of attack power in front, and inflicts bleed damage equal to 1% of attack power per second on all targets within the area for 20 seconds.

Oh no!

Jiang Hao pinched his thigh hard; it really hurt!

Looking at these explosive attributes, Jiang Hao thought, what War God, what Magic God, those great gods who are praised to the heavens, could they defeat his summoned creature? Let alone them, even the four major guilds in Shanghai, such as Heavenly Punishment, Starry Sky, God Destruction, and Prosperous World, if they called their people over, let's see if they could defeat his elite skeleton turtle.

The necromancer is the true god!

He now has five summons. If all five were elite bosses... just thinking about it made Jiang Hao's breathing quicken. He had to fight the boss! He absolutely had to fight the boss!

After the elite boss dies, it takes 24 hours to respawn. Jiang Hao mounted his skeletal deer mount and ordered the Skeleton Turtle King to lead the way. He and his four summoned skeletons marched majestically along the beach. Last time he was here, Jiang Hao rode the Skeleton Turtle, carefully avoiding the lobsters. This time, with the Skeleton Turtle King clearing the way, any level 7 lobsters blocking their path were instantly devoured. The lobsters' physical attack power of 819 was simply too much for them to handle.

Experience points +8

Experience points +8

Experience points +8

......

Every three seconds, a lobster would fall, and blue experience points would float up from the fallen monster's corpse. For the first time, Jiang Hao felt that grinding monsters was so easy.

At first, Jiang Hao was quite excited, but then he realized what was going on. Going through all this trouble to find the Lobster King was simply not worth it. It wouldn't improve his talent, and the equipment drop rate was low—wasn't this just a waste of time?

"These lobsters are really wicked. They actually tried to tempt me with their own lives and block my path to wealth."

Jiang Hao then turned the deer head around and ordered the Skeleton Turtle King to advance towards the crossroads. Seeing the pitiful world boss, Ryan, standing there like a gatekeeper in the distance, Jiang Hao felt a pang of fear. But then he thought, with his current strength, taking him down didn't seem impossible. The thought of the world boss dropping special equipment made Jiang Hao even more eager to unleash his inner turmoil.

The detection spell was cast again.

Poor Ryan

Faction: Gnoll

Level: 6 (World Boss)

life:

Physical attack: 1425

Physical defense: 214

Speed: 112

Skill: Cleave - Swings a large sword forward, dealing area damage equal to 150% of attack power to surrounding enemies.

Bite: Bite a target within melee range, dealing 110% of attack damage and restoring Ryan's health for 80% of the damage dealt.

Jump, jump twice in succession, and deal 80% of attack power as damage to all targets within melee range upon landing each time.

Charge, quickly approach a target, deal 100% damage, and stun them for two seconds.

Character description: Poor Ryan is an ordinary commander in the gnoll army. He was banished to the frontier by the gnoll chieftain for peeping at the gnoll chieftain's concubine taking a bath. He seems to have come with some purpose.

Even though he had already seen his attributes, seeing this explosive number again still made Jiang Hao's liver tremble.

He had intended to use his talent to stun and pull the monsters, but immediately ordered the skeleton deer beneath him to retreat a short distance. He dared not risk it. Just like with the level 7 lobster, what if the Spirit Ruins system had planted another hidden trap for him?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Hao thought, maybe I should just give up.

On the other side, the captain of an elite squad of the Chenxing Guild, the blond-haired warrior, had just finished bidding on two pieces of equipment.

He offered 12,000 for the common item [Turtle Claw] and 90,000 for the iron item [Turtle Breastplate]!

This is the price he gave after careful calculation.

The Weasel's Fang increases health by 20 points and was eventually auctioned off for 12,000.

The Turtle Claw also increases health by 20 points, so his price of 12,000 is reasonable.

As for the [Turtle Breastplate] which increases health by 150 points, let's just calculate it as 7.5 times, so a bid of 90,000 is the most reasonable.

"Hmph, I offered the highest price. Let's see who can steal my chicken this time. My dad is a director of the Heavenly Punishment Guild."

The teammate next to him who had reminded him about the new equipment being released heard his mutterings, shook his head slightly, and sighed. He had given up on trying to persuade his captain.

The phrase "both bad at the game and loves to play" probably describes this silly son of the guild's board member.

On the other side, seeing the latest bids for two pieces of equipment, Junlin Tianxia shook his head helplessly, unable to muster even the slightest thought of competing. However, he sensed a familiar pattern in the bidding style. He wondered if the person with the nickname "Born to Be Rich and Useful" was that idiot from the Chenxing Guild?

Gu Wanqing also saw the bidding for two new pieces of equipment in the auction house. However, she didn't pay attention to the prices, but instead carefully analyzed the attributes of the [Turtle Breastplate]. It added 150 points to health, 18 points to strength, and 8 points to agility. That's a whopping 330 points of health added in just one piece of equipment. Keep in mind that the level 2 warrior in her team, even with the [Weasel Fang] equipped, only had 200 points of health. If she could equip this breastplate, why would she need to hunt rabbits here?

Fighting a monster one level higher only gives you 1 experience point. Wouldn't it be better to go directly to level 4 pheasants and get more experience points?

Beyond her in-game anxieties, Gu Wanqing also had real-world considerations. As someone who frequently dealt with the government, her father, Gu Liangchen, had long sensed something unusual. Now, with the Lingxu game receiving official government backing, such a strange thing had happened. With his political acumen, her father immediately understood the implications. Therefore, as Gu Liangchen's most beloved daughter, her desire to join the Lingxu game was met with his full support. He personally told her that money was no object; as long as she could secure a place in the game, he would spare no expense.

Thinking of this, Gu Wanqing looked at the two pieces of equipment in the auction house again.
