Chapter 856: Divine Beast Zhuque (Inspired by 'Jiangnan Myth' - Thanks for the Support!)
September 25, 2017
[Congratulations! You successfully repelled the second wave of monster attacks, and your mission evaluation has improved.]
[You defeated the Tomb Guardians and obtained a Mythic Chest.]
[You defeated the Stone Cavalry and obtained a Mythic Chest.]
[You defeated the Junior Terracotta Legion and obtained a Legendary Chest.]
[Your subordinate, Zhao Nanli, killed the Tomb Commander, and you obtained a Legendary Chest.]
[Your subordinate, Dian Wei, killed three Tomb Generals, and you obtained a Legendary Chest.]
[Your subordinate, Gao Lan, killed the Stone Cavalry Commander, and you obtained a Legendary Chest.]
[Your Bathing Knights (112 members) have reached full experience, and their rank has improved to [Excellence]!]
[Your Wind Bandits (1733 members) have reached full experience, and their rank has improved to [Elite]!]
The second wave of monster attacks was relatively easy for Lu Hai Kong's side, but the rewards were substantial.
Setting aside the two Mythic Chests and four Legendary Chests for a moment, the 112 [Excellence] Bathing Knights and 1733 [Elite] Wind Bandits are a significant gain.
After two battles, the Black Wind Legion is on the verge of advancing to the [Elite] rank.
With the entire Black Wind Legion reaching the [Elite] rank, their combat power has significantly increased. Initially, they could only shoot five rounds of inner force arrows, but now they can manage ten rounds, and their power has also improved to some extent.
However, the reason for the Black Wind Legion's large-scale advancement is not solely due to the experience gained from these battles. Like the Bathing Legion, they were already on the brink of advancement.
Lu Hai Kong, instead of admiring and tallying the rewards, is still waiting for something else. He is anticipating another system prompt that should arrive soon.
The system didn't keep Lu Hai Kong waiting for long, and the awaited system prompt appeared once again.
[Congratulations! You successfully repelled the second wave, and the third wave will arrive in five days. Please prepare for the upcoming defense.]
"Here it comes! The last wave, the ultimate test, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"
Lu Hai Kong's eyes flashed with determination as he focused on the system prompt in front of him, eager to learn about his upcoming opponents.
However, after half a day of waiting, the system prompt he received was exactly what he expected.
[Due to your excellent performance in the previous waves, the third wave of monsters will be strengthened to some extent. Additionally, the monster legion's information will not be provided. Please make your preparations!]
Lu Hai Kong was startled by this prompt, but he quickly regained his composure.
"As expected! The third wave is the real challenge, and they're not even providing monster information. Bring it on! I don't believe they can defeat me!"
Lu Hai Kong, instead of immediately examining the system prompt, closed the prompt window.
Unlike before, Lu Hai Kong didn't start directing the battlefield cleanup. This task could be handled by Chen Yi and his team.
Lu Hai Kong decided to use this time to prepare for the third wave of attacks, which was due in five days.
While Lu Hai Kong was examining the system prompt, his subordinates had already delivered the spoils from the Tomb General, Tomb Commander, and Stone Cavalry Commander.
Lu Hai Kong had a habit of inspecting and managing the spoils of war. He was somewhat expecting to find something useful for his battles.
Unfortunately, the items dropped by the five bosses were of decent value but not particularly helpful for the current battle situation.
The five bosses dropped a Legendary-tier weapon, a Legendary-tier armor, two Legendary-tier minerals, and a scroll of martial trait insight.
Lu Hai Kong didn't bother examining the first four items. He directly gave the Legendary-tier Guan Dao to Ma Han and the Legendary-tier Armor to Gao Lan. He put away the two minerals and briefly checked the scroll of martial trait insight.
Scroll of Martial Trait Insight: [Nine Ox Strength]
Item Type: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Usage Requirement: Strength of 80
Item Description: Using this item grants a chance to gain the trait [Nine Ox Strength].
Lu Hai Kong now fully understood that the 'certain chance' mentioned in the item description could be misleading. Zhao Er had already tried to gain the trait [Army Control] from a similar scroll, but it failed.
Regarding the scroll of [Nine Ox Strength], Lu Hai Kong thought for a moment and decided to give it to Ma Han.
After all, this martial trait wasn't particularly powerful, and it relied on luck. Lu Hai Kong let Ma Han give it a try.
Title: The Unpredictable Loot
Lu HaiKong, after distributing the spoils from the defeated bosses, waved his hand and summoned all the treasure chests obtained from the two campaigns.
With the third campaign right before them, Lu HaiKong decided to open the chests, especially since they were already there. If they could help his troops in battle, it would be a great advantage, and even if they didn't, there was no loss.
With a simple wave of his hand, six legendary-level treasure chests and three mythic-level chests appeared.
Following his usual routine, Lu HaiKong started with the legendary chests. With another wave of his hand, the six legendary chests were opened simultaneously.
As the legendary chests opened, Lu HaiKong's expression changed, and he quickly retreated a hundred meters away. Moments later, piles of materials dropped in front of him.
Fortunately, Lu HaiKong was an experienced chest opener and knew that chests often contained surprising items. He had cleared some space beforehand, ensuring there was room for the loot. If he hadn't, these six chests might have crushed a few people.
This time, Lu HaiKong's luck was both good and bad. Among the six legendary chests, five contained materials. One chest yielded six million gold, another five thousand tons of flour and various grains, one gave fifty thousand arrows, and yet another produced five large crossbows.
Gold, food, and combat supplies—almost everything Lu HaiKong wanted was now in his possession.
Looking at the piles of materials, Lu HaiKong felt a sense of unreality. Was his luck too good? The gold wasn't that important, but the food and combat supplies were.
In the 16th month, Lu HaiKong had been preparing, but the supplies, especially food, were not fully in place. The current food supply was insufficient for his army of fifty thousand troops to eat for several days.
Lu HaiKong, who had been worrying about this issue, couldn't believe his luck. He had obtained everything he wanted.
Regarding his luck, Lu HaiKong didn't dwell on it too much. He quickly picked up the last item from the legendary chest, a unique item, and then found another empty space to continue opening chests.
Before opening the three mythic-level chests, Lu HaiKong casually appraised the unique item.
Return Spring Order
Item Type: Mysterious Item
Description: A mysterious item crafted by a high-level Daoist, it can be activated to use the Great Return Spring Technique, restoring the health of all targets within a designated area of fifty square meters.
Ps: Cooldown time is 10 days.
"Fifty square meters, and if squeezed, it should fit about a hundred people. Quite a useful item," Lu HaiKong remarked, tossing the item to Chen Ping and briefly explaining its use.
Currently, Lu HaiKong's army didn't have any accompanying military medics. In the entire army, the only person capable of providing medical services was Chen Ping. So, Lu HaiKong decided to hand over the management of this item to Chen Ping as well.
After giving the Return Spring Order to Chen Ping, Lu HaiKong waved his hand and summoned the remaining three mythic-level chests, continuing his task of opening them.
Now that he had obtained the materials he wanted, Lu HaiKong's attitude towards the remaining three chests became more casual.
It wasn't that he didn't care about what useful items these mythic chests might contain, but Lu HaiKong wasn't overly attached to their potential contents. He even casually opened all three chests with a wave of his hand.
And to his surprise, Lu HaiKong had to run for his life once again. As the three chests were opened simultaneously, a massive figure appeared before him. Lu HaiKong had to retreat several dozen meters to get a full view of this enormous being.
This giant stood at a height of ten meters, its entire body made of a red wooden material. Perhaps due to the wooden composition, this being felt surprisingly agile despite its massive size.
At this moment, Lu HaiKong's attention wasn't on its appearance but on its attributes.
