Chapter 29 - Crimson Observing Eyes Reveal Hidden Danger
The blazing white flames in Jiang Cheng’s eyes peered through the fog and saw the countless Blood Leeches attached to the large trees all around.
At first estimate, within a 120-meter radius, there were at least tens of thousands of them!
【Swamp Blood Leech】
Race: Undead
Level: 15
HP: 100
Attack: 1-1
Defense: 1-1
Skills: Blood Drain, Possession
Talent: Extreme Speed
Overview: Low-level undead Blood Leeches of the swamp. Extremely low attack and defense, but due to their tiny size, they are very difficult to detect when hidden in the fog. Do not underestimate their speed and blood draining abilities.
“So many of them. If I had just rushed in, and got possessed by a few hundred of them – even if they only forced a minor HP drain, with this many leeches attacking at once, I probably wouldn’t be able to withstand it.”
Indeed, enhancing the eyes was the right decision.
This ability to see enemy units comprehensively while ignoring obstacles.
Even if they were hiding in a cave, he would still be able to see them. From now on, sneak attacks were basically not a concern.
On top of that, his Rage Slash doubled his extra attack range. The Blood Leeches hiding in the mist in front of him were not too troublesome – at most he would just need to clear them out wave by wave.
Perhaps this was also a good place to level up and plunder skill talents!
“You go down first and close your eyes.” Jiang Cheng gestured at Zhang Mengmeng, the crimson flames in his eyes flickering to remind her to shut her eyes.
Zhang Mengmeng seemed to understand. She reluctantly climbed down from the Skeleton Warhorse and then nervously stared at Jiang Cheng.
“Skeleton Big Brother, be careful oh. It’s… very gloomy and chilly here.”
Zhang Mengmeng’s big eyes swept around the surroundings. Feeling a bit cold, she quickly hugged her shoulders and reminded Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng waved his hand, indicating there was no big problem.
Then, he used a token to store away the Skeleton Warhorse.
With a flourish of his blood-colored cape, a streak of crimson light flashed across the quiet, dark swamp.
“Crackle…”
Jiang Cheng took a step forward, stepping on a few decaying fallen leaves.
In an instant, hundreds of Blood Leeches swarmed towards him from the trees and roots in the mist, wanting to attach to his body and suck him dry of blood… bone essence.
If it were someone else, they might not even know what was happening in front of them. By the time they realized, they might not be able to react in time, already possessed by hundreds of leeches.
At that point, they would likely panic and fluster. It would be too late to try to get rid of them then.
But with his Crimson Observing Eyes, he had no such worries.
No matter how thick the fog, he could still clearly see these swarming Blood Leeches.
While the Swift Slash skill effect still had 20 minutes remaining, Jiang Cheng did not intend to let them off.
“Splat!”
With a flick of his blood-red cape, the Blood Hell Sword appeared in his right hand, slashing the first leech.
“-673!”
“-101.”
“-101.”
“-101.”
…
After the damage numbers appeared for the first leech, the splitting effect was triggered. Within two meters, the hundreds of leeches in front of him instantly disintegrated into splatters of slime.
[Swamp Blood Leech slain, obtained 100 experience points and Evolution Points.]
[Swamp Blood Leech slain, obtained 100 experience points and Evolution Points.]
[Swamp Blood Leech slain…]
In a flash, over a hundred leeches were annihilated simultaneously. Jiang Cheng instantly received ten thousand experience and Evolution Points!
Absolutely exhilarating!
“Splurt!”
The Blood Hell Sword slashed down again. Densely packed blood-red damage numbers floated up in front of him.
“-678!”
“-102.”
“-102.”
…
[Plunder skill triggered, plundered Extreme Speed talent, Agility 1.]
[Plunder skill triggered, plundered Extreme Speed talent, Agility 1.]
[Plunder skill triggered, plundered Extreme Speed talent, Agility 1.]
[Congratulations on leveling up to Level 16. HP and MP increased by 100 points each, Attack 10, Defense 5.]
The more monsters there were, the more times Plunder was triggered in quick succession. Notifications of successful Plunders continuously popped up.
He also instantly leveled up, gaining 3 points of Agility and over 30,000 Evolution Points!
Leveling up, earning Evolution Points, and Plundering attributes was insanely fast here.
“Splurt!”
Jiang Cheng stepped forward again, entering the aggro range of over three hundred Blood Leeches, and slashed down with his sword.
“-679!”
“-102.”
“-102.”
“Plunder skill triggered, successfully plundered Blood Drain skill.”
“The Blood Drain skill has finally come.” Jiang Cheng’s jaw bone lifted slightly, the two rows of pale white bones emanating a hint of delight.
