n“Explode!”

n“Misdirection!”

nLost Camel immediately threw a mark towards Lin Jie. All of the Elves’ aggro values were transferred as a whole towards Lin Jie, and they rushed towards Lost Camel as if a moth darting into a flame, seeking their doom.

nLost Camel was the last loop of the monsters’ handover. After Lost Camel transferred the aggro, he activated Backwards Leap and rapidly flew towards the back, returning back to within the team.

n“Forward Charge!”

nSeeing that his teammates had left the radius of the Elves’ explosion, Lin Jie’s eyes sank, and with his Shield of Courage in front of him, he rushed towards the withered tree. Behind him, the Elves gathered to form an eye-piercing light, they followed Lin Jie and rushed towards the Light Ancient Tree!

nObserving this Ancient Tree in close range, Lin Jie could clearly see the drawings on the bark of the Ancient Tree. Strange designs of equipment were carved on top of it: there were War Boots, Helmets, Armors… Broken Blade!

nLight Ancient Tree was an ancient species, it appeared to be engraved with Heritage equipment, but they were very blurry.

n“Elves, sacrifice your life…” The hands of the Light Ancient Tree attracted two Small Elves and threw them towards Lin Jie. At that moment, the Elves behind him had already gathered to form a torrent of light!

nFeather Drop Spell!

nLight Ancient Tree’s body suddenly became light, relying on the inertia, with a powerful leap, his body flew up with a whoosh! Immediately after, he took a step on the arm of the Light Ancient Tree!

nLight Ancient Tree’s heart turned cold – this alternate world human actually rushed towards its mouth!

n“Fu Sheng!”

n“Why did he run into its mouth!”

n“F*ck, he’ll be blasted to death!”

nEveryone was already far from the Explosion Region. They did not expect Lin Jie to actually do that, so they were very anxious!

nUnder the effects of the Elves Frenzy, the Elves just all followed Lin Jie and crazily rushed into the Light Ancient Tree’s mouth. Their fragile bodies banged into the face of the Ancient Tree and blasts of explosions sounded everywhere! Just at the surface of the Light Ancient Tree, the shockwaves from countless of Elves’ self-destruction almost swept the body of the Ancient Tree down.

nBoom—

n-1,000!

n-2,600!

n-30,000!

n-3,000!

n-4,200!

n-60,000!

n…

nSounds of explosions reverberated as though they were firecrackers, while a huge wave of damage values popped up from the Light Ancient Tree’s head. That was the damage from the self-explosion of the Elves! Ancient Tree’s limit on damage with the hardened skin was useless against the Elves’ self-explosion.

nBoom—

nThe shockwave of the explosion that came from Lin Jie’s head instantly overturned him on the ground. The crystal body tree branches exploded layer by layer, while Light Ancient Tree’s health bar rapidly decreased, almost to the bottom!

nThe hard touch could be felt from his leg, the surroundings were all inner walls, which were like made of crystals. That was the interior of the Light Ancient Tree! Under the corrosion of time and magic, the inside of the Ancient Tree was already empty.

n-1,000!

nA damage value also popped up from Lin Jie’s head as an Elf had exploded within the Ancient Tree! Not only so, the explosion of the second Small Elf that unexpectedly entered the inside of the tree directly, almost clearing his health points of about 2,000.

nThe Elves’ self-explosion radius was 4×4 yards, about the distance of 16 shoulders. Unless accurately entering the inside, the explosion at the mouth of the Light Ancient Tree would not affect Lin Jie at all.

nDeath Rage!

nHe went all out! Under the effects of Undefeated Anger, Lin Jie willfully heard the explosion sounds above him, then used his Broken Blade to severely pierce into the trunk of the tree.

nThat was to snatch the Boss!

nNot with his teammates, but with the system. When a Boss died not because of the influence of a player, then there would not be any experience points, equipment or glory received… Simply put, using the Small Elves to bombard the Boss to death, besides increasing the dungeon progress, nothing else would be dropped, nothing at all. In other words, Lin Jie had to at least attack and have a higher damage output than the highest self-explosion damage by a single Elf.

nThat was a battle of damage output in a race against time! Lin Jie crazily used all his skills, no need for positioning, no need for weak points! He just continuously activated his skills, that was enough!

n-1,263!

n-1,023!

n-2,456! (Critical Hit)

n…

nWithin the Ancient Tree, one would not be limited by its abnormally strong hardened skin so Lin Jie could attack explosively to his heart contents.

nThat was a contest of damage output between Lin Jie and the Elf with the highest self-explosion damage.

nBoom—!

nCracks started to form on Light Ancient Tree’s body due to the continuous explosions! Its branches were scattered everywhere, its huge trunk had collapsed!

n—’System announcement: Congratulations to player “Codename Lone Wolf”. His team “Savage Blade” has obtained the first clear of Hero-level Light Ancient Tree. He is rewarded with 400 War of Light points, 400,000 EXP, 5 gold coins, 200 Guild of Light reputation points and additional 2 free attributes points!’

n—’System announcement: Congratulations to player “Codename Dark Blue”. Her team “Savage Blade” has obtained the first clear of Hero-level Light Ancient Tree. She is rewarded with 400 War of Light points, 400,000 EXP, 5 gold coins, 200 Guild of Light reputation points and additional 2 free attributes points!’

n——

n“Fu Sheng?” Bu Yi held her staff and ran next to the Boss’ corpse quickly.

nA crystal tree branch rolled next to Bu Yi’s leg, it was kicked away, and it pitifully rolled to a corner. Light Ancient Tree’s tree branch and leaves were all mid-grade materials, which could be used in Potioneering, Engineering, Enchantment, it had a considerably high price.

nThe ruins trembled, Lin Jie crawled out with his head covered in dust. He spat out the remaining of the leaves that went into his mouth due to the explosion and took out fresh water in haste.

n“Eat this,” said Bu Yi as she took out a Forest Fruit and smiled.

nLin Jie took it and binge-ate the fruits, the bitter taste in his mouth then gradually disappeared.

nThe rewards were befallen, a layer of golden light was shining at the top of Lin Jie’s head.

n—’Congratulations, you have leveled up to Level 20, and received five free Stat Points, two fixed Stat Points, and one Specialty Point.’

n—’You can now accept mount missions, after completing the mission, you will be allowed to use a mount.’

n—New players’ prompt message: Having a mean of transport will help you travel smoothly around The New Age, a player can simultaneously have numerous mounts. Mounts above rare level can provide enhancement in attributes. Besides Forward Charge Paladin, the other jobs must obtain a Battle Mount before one is allowed to initiate battle.

n‘Reached level 20!’ Lin Jie was elated, with EXP Gem as enhancement, it was just awesome!

nWhen one reached level 20, they could completely say goodbye to the tiresome and hard life of walking on foot to travel. The lowest grade, Normal Mounts also had an additional effect of increasing 40% movement speed—it was much faster than using their foot to walk.

nIf he could get a Battle Mount… Lin Jie scratched his head. ‘It’s better not to think about it anymore.’ Rare Mounts that could enhance attributes were all super rare items, not to mention a Battle Mount that one could ride and fight!

nIn the seven years of Lin Jie’s previous life, the number of players that had gotten a Battle Mount was only a hundred. The process was extremely secretive, Lin Jie simply had no way to find out.

nHowever, he knew many methods to obtain Rare Mounts. A Rare Mount’s attributes may only be a point of Strength or 10 points of Health Points, but if the number increased, that was also relatively horrifying.

n“Lightless Pupil.” Zheng Guangming had already finished picking up the loots from the corpse, the Light Ancient Tree had dropped a massive amount of goods! Besides the 10 Gold equipment, Lightless Pupil was also dropped—a Dark Gold fragment of Lightless Eye!

nHe combined the two Dark Gold fragments together, and a shining helmet appeared on his hand—spots of black light permeated under the dark gold colored helmet, covering the surroundings of the pupil.

nThat was a Dark Gold Grade equipment! It was known to be able to sweep away all the other equipment! Lin Jie equipped it on his head, and his eyes were covered in a layer of weird dark fog, its appearance was not bad. 50 points of Strength even let Lin Jie’s attack reach above 450! That was under the precondition of not using any skills, a Critical Hit could deal damage nearing the thousand!

nLin Jie checked his stats and was elated.

nHowever, the main character of this drama was not him, because currently, there was an accessory silently lying at the team window. It looked very quaint, it was an ancient piece of wood that was carefully crafted like an emerald, shining under the sun, its brightness was without comparison.

nAncient Tree’s Heart (Dark Gold)

nNo level requirements, no job requirements,

nElemental Damage increased by 20%.

nEveryone. “! ! ! ! !”

nJust such a simple attribute, completely revealed the value of the Dark Gold equipment! Elemental Damage enhanced by 20%! There was also no level or job requirements!

nLin Jie held the Ancient Tree’s heart, not knowing what to do with it.

nThere were only three people present who could use Elemental magic: Dejected Night, Domestic Fat Cattle and Baili Changcheng.

nIf considering the level of closeness, giving it to Dejected Night would be the best choice.

nHowever, now, that was not a matter that could be solved with just one sentence from him. Everyone’s expressions all turned solemn! If this item was not distributed correctly, then what awaited this team was only to fall apart.

nLin Jie did not simply just throw a sentence of, “You split amongst yourselves,” like when distributing Gold equipment, but he said seriously, “Baili, Fat Cattle, Night. All three of you can use this type of equipment…”

n“My damage output is low, so I’m not going to fight for it.” Dejected Night waved his hand and actually took the initiative to withdraw.

nThat was a best quality Dark Gold equipment!

nNot to mention others, even Lin Jie could not help but be shocked. Talking about knowledge of equipment, he could be called one of the top, but even so, he examined his own conscience and asked himself, if he was an Elemental Mage, would he give up on that ring?

nThe answer was no!

nElemental Damage increased by 20%, that was enough to create a very powerful Great Mage, no matter how bad his technique was! Even if there was only 1% of success, he would also not give up.

nBaili Changcheng’s eyes were shining, and he said seriously, “Night, you can’t give up. This equipment can improve your strength considerably, you have the qualifications to fight for it.”

n“I don’t have the qualifications.” Dejected Night opened the damage output list and said, “As a Mage, my damage output is even ranked number sixth, where do I have the face to get the equipment?”

nThe first in the damage output ranking was Lin Jie, the second was Domestic Fat Cattle, and the next ones were Wine God Brothers. As an Assassin, Unexpected Childe followed closely behind, then the next one was Dejected Night.

n“According to what you say, then isn’t it depending on damage output to fight for the equipment?” Baili Changcheng’s voice became stricter.

nJust at that moment, Lin Jie noticed something about him. ‘Stubbornness! The stubbornness that was almost close to paranoia! For Dejected Night who took the initiative to give up, Baili Changcheng itched to forcefully pull him back to the fight for the equipment!’

nJust at that moment, a random voice could be heard. “Forget it, I’m not fighting for it either.”

nLin Jie jaw could not help but drop, the person who said that sentence was Domestic Fat Cattle!

nEven if it was him, the staff in his hands was only a Dark Gold Fragment!
