Chapter 261 Retreat was indeed a wise choice, unexpected circumstances
The Battlefield Serpent Turtle's high defense is astonishing, and its dual immunity makes it extremely difficult for Jiang Chen to fight against it.
Not only did I use all my most powerful skills, but I also went to great lengths to whittle it down to its last ounce of health.
However, the Battlefield Serpent Turtle unleashed a Turtle Trap skill, easily destroying all of Jiang Chen's previous efforts.
Jiang Chen was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth to powder; this was practically cheating.
The Battlefield Turtle already possesses excellent defense and vitality, and with such an abnormal recovery skill, it has become almost invincible.
For Jiang Chen, such an opponent was nothing short of an insurmountable chasm.
Still furious, Jiang Chen gave the order to retreat without hesitation.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, he knew he couldn't afford to provoke him for the time being, so he had no choice but to retreat.
They quickly followed the previous route and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
This battle led Jiang Chen to abandon his plan to penetrate deeper into the core area.
Even dealing with a level 64 ordinary BOSS required him to put in a tremendous amount of effort.
For higher-level bosses, such as Lords or World-class bosses, whether their undead legions can withstand the attack becomes a huge question.
Jiang Chen clearly realized that his level was still far from sufficient.
Despite the large number of skeletons, their powerful talents, and their amazing boosts, he was ultimately only level 33 and lacked truly powerful skills.
This retreat was Jiang Chen's first since his debut, and it was also a profound lesson.
During the retreat, Jiang Chen reflected on his actions and realized that he lacked a powerful ultimate skill like those of a mythical-level class, capable of turning the tide of battle.
Even though Corpse Burst is a powerful skill, it is severely limited in the core area.
Five minutes later, the Battlefield Turtle ended its Turtle retreat skill, regained its peak condition, and roared to the sky, as if announcing its victory.
The giant head turned left and right, only to find that Jiang Chen was nowhere to be seen.
The not-so-bright brain realized that this despicable human had escaped.
Looking left and right, they couldn't find the direction Jiang Chen had fled in.
Anger filled its eyes, and it began to roar, one roar after another, shaking the earth.
The BOSS's imposing presence was undeniable.
The monsters around them trembled with fear.
Some monsters fled in terror, and chaos ensued.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow swooped down from the sky, moving with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, they had already covered several thousand meters.
A claw emerged from the shadows, snatched the battlefield snake-turtle, and soared into the sky.
The angry roar turned into a terrified scream.
Then it abruptly stopped and disappeared completely.
Jiang Chen retreated, and the monsters along the way had already been cleared out by the time he entered.
The speed of retreating was much faster than that of advancing.
"They probably won't catch up," I thought to myself, though I wasn't too afraid even if they did.
If all else fails, we can always fight another battle.
At worst, we can just waste time and money and all our efforts again.
Anyway, the Battlefield Serpent Turtle wanting to kill him is just a pipe dream.
Suddenly, a sharp cry made Jiang Chen's hair stand on end.
A terrifying aura swept over us.
A huge object fell from the sky and crashed not far away.
With a loud crash, a huge crater was smashed into the ground.
Looking at the objects in the pit, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
What fell from the sky was a tortoise shell, the shell of the Battlefield Serpent Tortoise.
Jiang Chen was 100% certain that he wouldn't admit his mistake.
The shell still carries the scent of the Battle Serpent Turtle.
There was a huge gash in the tortoise shell, likely pierced by a sharp object. After a closer inspection, Jiang Chen confirmed his guess.
Looking up at the sky, that's the direction the tortoise shell fell from.
The sky shimmered with light, captivating and mysterious.
He could almost see the battlefield serpent turtle being grabbed in the hand of an even more powerful BOSS, stuffed into its mouth, and eaten alive.
Then the BOSS spat out the turtle shell again.
"It...is dead!"
"He was bitten to death!"
"And he was bitten to death."
Jiang Chen looked at the sky and was quite certain of his guess.
The loud cry and immense power he had just heard made him feel that his life was threatened in an instant.
It can even eat the Battlefield Turtle; if you were to encounter it, you would be in danger as well.
Jiang Chen didn't think he was much stronger than the battlefield snake tortoise. Luckily, he retreated quickly enough!
The tortoise shell glowed faintly, emitting a large amount of starlight before flying into the air and disappearing.
The tortoise shell quickly shrank and eventually became a shield.
There's even equipment!
The shell is the hardest part of the Battle Dragon Turtle.
It couldn't even eat that unknown BOSS.
The equipment it becomes must be of high quality.
"Shield of Turtle Coil (Knight Only): Platinum-grade shield, all attributes +3000, Knight's defense skill increased by 90%, physical damage reduced by 20%, elemental damage reduced by 20%, with the skill: Turtle Coil."
"Turning into a Turtle: Unable to move for 30 seconds, immune to all damage during this time, recovers all injuries, and resets the cooldown of all skills except this one. Cooldown time: 1 hour."
These attributes are top-tier among platinum equipment. Especially the accompanying skills, which are the dream of almost every knight.
For the knight, this is no longer just about a shield.
This is practically a new life.
It can not only heal injuries, but also reset the cooldown of other skills.
Even though Jiang Chen didn't have a strong concept of equipment value, he could tell at this moment that the shield in his hand was probably worth a fortune.
It's not because of its inherent attributes, but because of the skills it comes with.
"It's probably not even as good as some mythical-level equipment."
After completing the third job advancement at level 70 and becoming a top-tier professional.
Its inherent attributes are already quite high.
Moreover, platinum equipment generally provides very high attribute bonuses.
Those few thousand attribute points weren't a big deal. What mattered back then was the skills that came with the equipment.
One overpowered skill is worth ten thousand attribute points.
The quality of equipment is determined by the additional skills it contains.
"Good luck."
The slight frustration I had felt earlier vanished.
The value of this shield in my hand certainly cannot be measured in gold coins.
As to its exact value, we'll have to go back and ask Hung Kei-shek.
After putting away his shield, Jiang Chen continued walking towards the central area.
The earth returned to its original state after a slight tremor.
The ground in the core area was like an unpolished mirror, reflecting a faint, hazy light.
It has remained unchanged for countless years, and any damage will be restored to its original state in a short time.
At the border between the core area and the central area, a team of 20 human professionals was stationed. They wore the insignia of the Blue Leaf Guild.
Paladin, Warlord Support, Grand Healer, Archmage, Eagle Eye Archer, Summoning Master – all available.
All of them are above level 58, and Huo Yuyao, as the captain and main knight, has reached level 60.
He was equipped with platinum gear, his entire body covered in armor, and he looked very powerful.
However, the most eye-catching person in the group was not her, but another woman.
The woman had a graceful figure and a beautiful face, and looked delicate and frail.
But she carried a huge platinum hammer on her shoulder.
The hammer was over a meter long, with a thick handle and a huge head, completely out of character for her.
Of all professions, only one can wield a hammer as a weapon: the Collector. The Collector is a very special profession.
It is neither a combat profession, nor a support profession, nor a life profession.
Based on rank, the Master Collector is a Mythical-level profession.
In terms of combat effectiveness, he is inferior to those who are primarily combat-oriented.
They lack support skills and basic living skills.
The reason he became a mythical-level profession is because he possesses a special ability that no other profession has: collecting.
The Collection Master can apply collection skills to monsters.
Then, you get extra rewards after the monster dies.
It could be materials, or it could be equipment.
This can directly double the team's profits.
Any team would be happy to assemble a collection master.
Unfortunately, there are very few Master Collectors; they are mythical-level professions and extremely rare. In addition to having such a rare Master Collector, the entire team has another very special feature.
This team is composed entirely of women.
"Sister Yuyao, are we sure we want to go in?"
"Collection Master Qiao Zhixin asked in a low voice, her gaze fixed on the core area."
She had only heard how dangerous the core area was and how strong the monsters were.
But I've never been inside.
Huo Yuyao, the team leader, chuckled lightly, "What, scared?"
Qiao Zhixin immediately shook her head, "I'm not afraid. With Sister Yuyao here, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Huo Yuyao chuckled, "There's really nothing to be afraid of. The core area isn't some kind of insurmountable obstacle. Besides, we're only operating on the periphery and won't go deep inside." "With our combat strength, even if we encounter a few level 62 or 63 monsters, it's not like we can't defeat them."
"Even if we encounter a level 60 BOSS, we will have a fighting chance."
"Don't forget, we're a team that has killed a level 55 lord-level BOSS, which makes us stronger than many other teams."
This sounds like he's trying to encourage the team members.
Initially, everyone was somewhat hesitant and uncertain.
Now everyone is full of confidence.
The leader, Huo Yuyao, drew her knight's longsword, pointed it at the core area, and shouted, "Let's go!"
"set off!"
All team members were instantly in high spirits.
