Chapter 61
The Barbaric Giant was too huge, causing it to be less agile with its limbs.
Jiang Feng’s body was smaller, and his physique was slimmer, and when he saw the Barbaric Giant grabbing towards him, he then caught unto the strands of the Barbaric Giant’s hair and glided gracefully as he avoided its attack. Then, he continued to attack it.
-463.
-500.
-1023.
…
After including the Barbaric Giant’s defense, he could only cause four to five hundred points of damage. He would sometimes cause critical damage as well.
Roar!
After the contract had been entered, the pet egg broke completely. Lightning blasted out from within, and a blue praying mantis the height of half a man walked out. It flew toward Jiang Feng with its buzzing wings respectfully.
Jiang Feng looked at the blue mantis in front of him and looked at its stats.
Thunderclap Mantis: Level 1 Rank 8
HP: 5000
Attack: 20-50
Defense: 10
Potential: 65
Skills: None
“It looks like the rank is fixed after it hatches from the pet egg, but they do not have a level. Unlike Yanhu, Heifeng, or I, we still needed to increase our ranks!” Jiang Feng mumbled to himself as he looked at the Thunderclap Mantis’s stats.
“I wonder if it can use the experience pills?” He thought to himself as he looked at the Thunderclap Mantis and then looked at the Level 32 Experience Pill.
Level 32 Experience Pill: Gain 32,000 experience points after use.
Looking at the experience pill in his hand, he then extended it towards the Thunderclap Mantis and said, “Eat it.”
The Thunderclap Mantis was not a King monster, so it didn’t have high intelligence and couldn’t speak. However, it understood what Jiang Feng wanted to say. It opened its sharp mouth and swallowed the Experience Pill.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
After the Thunderclap Mantis consumed the Experience Pill, its body kept on glowing and its size kept on growing. In a moment, his height had reached 1.5 meters tall.
Looking at the Thunderclap Mantis’s change, he smiled and looked at its stats.
Thunderclap Mantis: Level 5 Rank 8
HP: 10,000
Attack: 270-300
Defense: 60
Potential: 65
Skills: Thunder Slash (Cause 150% of base damage to target enemy, cooldown of 5 seconds)
“Not bad,” he said as he looked at the Thunderclap Mantis’s stats. He was still pleased with the result.
He studied it from top to bottom and then had it enter the Qiankun Gourd.
After he had settled the Thunderclap Mantis, a smirk appeared on his face.
‘The players at the other locations should have started their battle against the Barbaric Giants. Since I don’t get anything by killing the Barbaric Giants, why don’t I take advantage of the corpses of the giants killed by the players instead? If I’m lucky, I can even use my usual schemes!'[1]
With that thought, he left Xiling Valley and headed toward the monster spawn areas close by the Imperial Dragon City.
He only had one target, that was the corpse of the slain Barbaric Giants.
As long as he could find the corpses, he could use Transmute Monster to have a chance to receive pet eggs and pet skill books.
Not to mention that if he had encountered a barbaric giant that had little health left, he could then let the players kill it. And then he would kill the players. He could then pick up the loot left behind by the barbaric giants.
It had long been said that purity of emotions couldn’t keep the heart of man, but only schemes could!
“Players, tremble before me!”
[1] T/L Note: There seems to be an omission on the above sentence in the original text. The original text is “Since I get something by killing the Barbaric Giants, why don’t I take advantage of the corpses of the giants killed by the players instead?” and it makes little sense at all. I’ve gone with the implied meaning of the sentence.
