Chapter 23

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

100 kilometers northwest of Northern Spiritual City.

On a towering cliff, Zhang Xuan walked out with a wave of blue ripples.

“Is this the Death Valley?”

The dark sky was filled with dark red clouds, and the air was filled with an old stench. From time to time, one could hear the terrifying roars of beasts.

Death Valley could be considered to have truly stepped into the dangerous part of this world. The previous area was not even worth mentioning compared to this place.

It was said that tens of thousands of class holders had died in Death Valley over the years. Most of them had underestimated the danger here.

After getting used to the unpleasant smell, Zhang Xuan took out the Insect Scythe. The moment he equipped it, the Insect Scythe, which was originally as tall as a human, suddenly grew a lot!

It had to be said that although this weapon was a greatsword series weapon, when Zhang Xuan equipped it, it looked as if he had a huge black mantis sickle growing on his body.

There were even some faint golden patterns on it, making it look quite domineering!

And his attack was now as high as more than 800!

There was no time to lose. With such a high interface, it would be a little unreasonable not to find a monster to test the damage.

However, just as he was about to turn around and walk down the cliff, something suddenly flashed in front of him, followed by a big Miss!

Hearing the sharp cry in the air, Zhang Xuan quickly locked onto the monster who attacked him.

[Piercing Bone Falcon: Level 7]

[HP: 2,000]

[Attack: 325]

[Defense: 170]

[Agility: 271]

[Sharp Tear: Chance to reduce the opponent’s defense by 30% when attacking]

It was a Level 7 monster right off the bat, and it was obviously not on the same level as the monsters in the previous area. The monsters in the previous area did not have passive attributes other than the Mother of Worms.

Seeing the Piercing Bone Falcon rapidly circling in the air and quickly adjusting its position and returning to him, Zhang Xuan gripped the giant sickle in his hand tightly. At this moment, there was only one thing in his mind: how much damage could this slash deal!

Swoosh!

[HP -5,762]

With a flash of black light, the Bone Piercing Falcon’s corpse flew to the ground. Its entire body was split into two!

[Ding! Killed Level 7 Piercing Bone Falcon, EXP +145]

[HP +1,000]

The EXP provided by a Level 7 monster was more than double that of a Level 4 Mutated Worm. Of course, this was mainly because he was in a party at that time, so the EXP gained would be reduced.

Otherwise, the Mother of Worms could probably provide 10,000 experience points.

Not only that, but the lifesteal effect of the Insect Scythe had also restored 1,000 HP!

Of course, the amount of recovery would definitely depend on the monster’s total HP, and Zhang Xuan would not be affected by normal attacks at the moment. With full HP, the amount of recovery would definitely overflow.

Zhang Xuan was extremely satisfied with the damage of this slash. It could be said that he was now the embodiment of violence. If he could find some insect monsters, his damage would be even higher!

Moreover, after killing the Piercing Bone Falcon, he had also obtained an attack speed buff that lasted for a certain period of time. At this moment, he was already looking forward to the scene where he would use his greatsword as a one-handed sword.

The area of Death Valley was very large. According to the map provided by Jiang Shuai, Zhang Xuan determined his location and killed monsters all the way until he arrived at a place where sand and bones intersected.

This was a dangerous area marked in red. According to the display, there were the most monsters, and most of them were insect-type monsters.

This meant that the monsters here could maximize Zhang Xuan’s attack.

The place where others hid from was heaven to him!

With the giant scythe in hand, Zhang Xuan stepped onto the yellow sand without any warning. The next moment, a few Miss figures flashed past his feet.

Then, five or six tails with sharp poisonous thorns slowly stood up from the sand, and monsters that looked like spiders appeared around him.

[Scorpion Spider: Level 9]

[HP: 3,000]

[Attack: 545]

[Defense: 270]

[Agility: 171]

[Stabbing: Inject a large amount of poison into the target, causing the target to enter a (numbed) state and reduce all attributes of the target by 20%, increasing according to time.]

This kind of monster was similar to the monsters he had encountered in the forest before. They were all more sinister and could lose half their lives if they were not careful.

However, the Scorpion Spiders here were obviously more lethal. The target would enter a state of slow movement for a short period of time under the paralysis state.

Zhang Xuan had only taken his first step, and there were already no less than five Scorpion Spiders nearby. It was obvious that once he was hit, he would be paralyzed to death without a teammate.

However, as long as the attack was a normal attack, Zhang Xuan could let them hibernate for a day.

At this moment, more and more Scorpion Spiders appeared around him. It was obvious that they wanted a piece of meat.

Looking at the shiny poisonous needles, Zhang Xuan waved the giant Insect Scythe in his hand.

[HP -5,513]

[HP -6,754]

[HP -6,754]

..

[Ding! Level 9 Scorpion Spider killed, EXP +235]

[Ding! Level 9 Scorpion Spider killed, EXP +235]

[Ding! Level 9 Scorpion Spider killed, EXP +235]

..

A terrifying four-digit number floated in the air. Zhang Xuan’s slash had taken away nearly 20 Scorpion Spiders. All the Scorpion Spiders within a five-meter radius were instantly killed.

The attack speed of the Insect Scythe was naturally stacked to the maximum. Combined with the original attribute effect, his current attack speed was increased by 230%. Moreover, his experience had also increased by a few thousand!

Although the higher the level, the slower the leveling speed, his experience bar had increased by 3% under this terrifying harvest!

Feeling the increase in experience, Zhang Xuan immediately locked onto his next target.

[HP -13,468]

[HP -15,433]

[HP -15,433]

[HP -15,433]

..

With a single slash, dozens of Scorpion Spiders were instantly killed, and Zhang Xuan’s second slash easily dealt over 10,000 damage!

The terrifying five-digit numbers made Zhang Xuan’s adrenaline surge. This was the upgrade he wanted!

At this moment, more and more Scorpion Spiders were attracted by the smell of blood. For a moment, the sound of sand being scraped could be heard in the entire desert. Wherever Zhang Xuan looked, he could see no less than hundreds of tail needles flashing with cold light.

In the next moment, Zhang Xuan raised his scythe and appeared above one of the Scorpion Spiders. The scythe was like the scythe of the grim reaper. With the thousands of HP of these monsters, it was impossible for them to fight against it!

By the third slash, the damage had already soared to nearly 20,000. The monsters other than the main target had also received a high damage of more than 20,000!

Zhang Xuan disappeared and reappeared on top of a Scorpion Spider five meters away. He swung his scythe mercilessly.

With his attack speed stacked to the max, Zhang Xuan had completely broken free from the greatsword’s attack speed limit. Every slash he made was extremely fast, giving off the feeling that he could teleport at an extremely fast speed.

And every time he swung his giant scythe, he could harvest dozens of Scorpion Spiders!

In the next ten minutes, Zhang Xuan’s figure could only be seen for a moment in the entire desert. In the next second, he had already appeared five meters away.

All the monsters within a 5-meter radius of him would immediately receive tens of thousands of terrifying damage and die instantly!
