Su Yu calmed himself down and continued reading.
The requirement of the hidden mission was to survive a single attack from the [Star-forged Dragon King].
If Su Yu had received this task at level 60, it would be almost impossible to complete, as the [Star-forged Dragon King] was simply too powerful, being capable of destroying an entire city with a single breath!
But for this task to be given during the novice village phase and with such a severe penalty for failure, there must be a way to complete it.
“How am I supposed to complete it?” Su Yu pondered, surrounded by creatures.
He spent about two minutes and still could not think of a solution.
Exhaling, Su Yu said, “No matter what, I need to complete the task at hand first.
Su Yu started to act, continuing to clear out the [Silver Snakes].
His goal in this trip to Silver Snake Valley was not only to stack the [Tear of the Goddess], but also to kill a Silver Snake boss, get the [Silver Snake Gall], and complete the first task, [Joining Scholar’s Temple], given by the old mage.
“I’ve already killed 180 Silver Snakes, the Silver Snake boss should be respawning soon.”
While thinking about this, Su Yu cast his spells swiftly, and the surrounding
Silver Snakes fell in droves.
His [Tear of the Goddess] had now reached capacity, and his mana had increased significantly to 760!
High mana capacity should match with better mana potion.
So, Su Yu used the [Point Star Hand] to upgrade the [Basic Mana Potion].
“Ding! Do you want to spend 10 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Basic
Mana Potion]?”
“Confirm!”
“Ding, the [Basic Mana Potion] has been upgraded to [Intermediate Mana Potion].”
[Intermediate Mana Potion]: Restores 300 mana points within 3 seconds.
The high mana capacity provided by the [Tear of the Goddess] combined with the mana restoration effect of the [Intermediate Mana Potion], saved Su Yu a lot of time consuming potions.
He no longer needed to drink a potion after every few spells he cast.
After more than ten minutes, Su Yu, who had killed over two hundred more
[Silver Snakes], leveled up to level 4.
Upon reaching level 4, his magic strength naturally rose to 36 points.
He was also able to use the [Linen Gloves (Excellent) Lv4] dropped from the goat boss.
Su Yu upgraded the [Linen Gloves] to a rare quality and put them on.
[Linen Gloves (Rare) Lv4]
Defense +ll
Intellect + 5
Spell Casting Speed +5%
After equipping the [Linen Gloves], Su Yu’s spell intensity rose to 41 points and his defense also reached an astonishing 40 points!
For a level 4 character, 40 defense is practically a bug-like existence. Even the highest defense tank in the game would weep if they saw Su Yu’s defensive attributes.
The only pity was that the Silver Snake boss didn’t respawn even when Su Yu reached level 4.
But Su Yu was patient and continued to clean up the [Silver Snakes] in the area.
Finally, after killing one hundred more [Silver Snakes], just as Su Yu was beginning to grow impatient, the Silver Snake boss respawned!
[Silver Snake Leader (Common)]
HP: 700
The Silver Snake boss is a giant white cobra, four meters long, with a crimson mark on its forehead.
It spawned right next to Su Yu.
As soon as it appeared, it glared directly at Su Yu with eye-catching vertical pupils.
Then it coiled up and sprang forward.
Like a loosed arrow, the Silver Snake boss rocketed straight towards Su Yu, its gaping maw aimed for his throat.
Facing the assault of the Silver Snake boss, Su Yu just smiled.
His gaze towards the Silver Snake boss was full of “affection”, as though he was a farmer looking at ripe corn in the field.
Hence, Su Yu stood still, treating the Silver Snake boss to a [Lightning Bolt] and an Ice Arrow scroll, then lightly sidestepped to the left.
The Silver Snake boss’s attack missed by a hair, grazing past his neck and biting into nothing.
But the Silver Snake boss was no pushover either.
Although it failed to land a bite, in mid-air, it coiled its body and whipped its tail at Su Yu like a physical lash.
This tail whip came with a “whoosh” sound and had great force and speed.
With Su Yu’s agility, he could certainly dodge it by rolling.
But as a Mage, he had a better means to deal with it:
Su Yu chanted a spell, quickly forming a [Frost Shield] around him. The shield, made of frozen magical energy, encased him from head to toe.
“Wham!”
The Silver Snake boss’ tail whipped against the [Frost Shield] with a mighty thud.
-112!
A large figure appeared above Su Yu’s head, causing the [Frost Shield] to shudder violently.
However, the Silver Snake Boss failed to break Su Yu’s [Frost Shield].
After its attack ended, the Silver Snake boss, unable to recover its footing in mid-air, awkwardly plummeted to the ground.
Taking advantage of this, Su Yu unleashed his spells, each one aimed at the weak point of the Silver Snake boss.
-132!
-130!
-61!
Su Yu’s current spell intensity was as high as 41 points, with only three rounds of spells, the Silver Snake boss was left with a sliver of health!
The Silver Snake boss had not expected the small human in front of it to deal such high damage!
Severely injured, it tried desperately to escape, but it was already too late.
[Lightning Bolt] !
[Fireball Skill]!
Su Yu’s final two spells were cast.
The poor Silver Snake boss, no more than 5 seconds after appearing, had its HP bar wiped out, leaving only a charred carcass.
“Ding! You have killed [Silver Snake Leader (Common) Lv5] and gained 70 experience points.” The system reported cheerfully.
“It was easy to kill, but the prime skin got wasted,” Su Yu looked at the snake boss’s corpse while he said regretfully.
The Silver Snake boss was considered a beast. Players who had learned the skinning profession could peel an intact piece of excellent quality [Silver Snake Skin] from it to create leather armor.
In his previous life, Su Yu had the skinning profession and felt the urge to take the skin off the Silver Snake boss’s corpse.
However, this lifetime, Su Yu had no time to learn the secondary profession, thus the body of the Silver Snake boss was wasted.
Su Yu walked forward and turned over the body of the Silver Snake boss.
As the first player to kill the Silver Snake boss server-wide, the drops were rather generous:
[Light Cloud Round Shield (Excellent) Lv5], [Slippery Scale Chestplate (Excellent) Lv5], skill scroll [True Word Art. Shield (Common)], [Silver Serpent Gallbladder (Excellent)].
[True Word Art. Shield (Common)]: Uses holy light to form a shield, absorbing 150% of spell strength damage for you or a teammate you select, with a cooldown time of 15 seconds and a duration of 60 seconds, consumes 20 points of Holy Energy.
[True Word Art. Shield] is a signature skill of the Priest class.
Priest class has poor attack capabilities, but their healing abilities and ability to protect their teammates are strong.
And indeed, many Priests need this skill.
I can put it up for sale in the marketplace later.
There was nothing useful among the drops of the Silver Snake boss, so Su Yu only gave it a brief glance.
After putting all the drops into his bag, he left the Silver Snake Valley and returned to Nolan Village..
