Chapter 461 Killing the Ogre King

Time passed, it had already been over 10 days since Lin Jie entered the Munjo Underground City. Farming monsters in the same map for 10 days straight, most probably very few would be able to last, especially facing all these ugly Ogres. If one stayed for too long, they might even be scarred mentally. Normal people would feel uncomfortable farming for one day, even those with a strong mental fortitude would only be able to last two to three days.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie… He had once farmed Devil Undead for half a year at Devils Royal Capital in his previous life, so 10 days were just a piece of cake for him. Everyone’s way of climbing to the top was different, while Lin Jie walked the hardest pathway.

“It’s been 22 hours, the Boss is a bit too long-lasting.” Lin Jie was mentally exhausted, but he still persisted in using Silent Killer to shoot. When the Ogre King’s health points dropped below 50%, it would activate the Enraged Mode effect [Eternal Devour], which would deal 500 points of Bleeding Damage to all units within a 25 yards radius every second. It would also be able to trigger the Boss’ Dry Body effect so Lin Jie could only shoot and kill it from the outer boundary.

However, Eternal Devour had another additional effect: it could recover 200 Health Points per second, which resulted in most of Lin Jie’s damage output to be useless. He had been shooting for 22 hours consecutively, and he was already exhausted mentally and physically. However, under the perseverance of his willpower, he still finished the actions in his hands meticulously. Finally, the Boss died with a wail.

Lin Jie heaved a long sigh of relief as he dropped to the ground. He looked at the Silent Killer in his hand, enhancing this Sub-Legendary Fire Gun was imminent. If there were other Bosses, which needed to use Silent Killer to kill and such a situation occurred again, he would really vomit from exhaustion.

He could have used Inferior Poisonous Phoenix Dragon’s Tail Poison to kill the Boss, but Lin Jie had still chosen to save it as he subconsciously felt that this map would not be so simple as to only having this Ogre King. He’d better keep the poison until absolutely necessary.

‘Maybe… Foraging Rocca might be the final Boss.’ Lin Jie looked at the horrible sight of the Underground City and recalled Rocca saying he had “accidentally swallowed a Demigod”, so all the more, he felt that the possibility of such a guess happening was extremely high.

Kaboom—

That Boss, which had absurdly high-recovery effects, finally lost the last of its strength and collapsed on its throne. Its body of flesh and blood instantly withered and fell to the ground, forming smelly viscous blood, which was extremely disgusting. The Ogre King had devoured all his tribesmen, which were then converted into these blood.

—’You have killed Munjo Ogre King. You received 5,000,000 EXP and 600 Guild of Light Reputation.’

—’You have leveled up to Level 46! You have received 5 Free Stats Points and 2 Fixed Stat Points.’

—’You received [Blood of Munjo] x10′

—’You received [Key Fragment] (Four)’

“Blood of Munjo? It’s actually Blood of Munjo and as many as 10 of that!” Lin Jie was elated as Blood of Munjo was a super-rare material that could only be obtained by firstly killing hundreds of Munjo Ogres, then gather their blood and convert it through a high-tier Enchant Master. Who would have expected that Lin Jie had directly obtained 10 of them!?

Blood of Munjo was a good item. If a drop was given to Contract Summoners, they would be able to summon Elite Munjo Ogres to fight for them.

Meanwhile, now it was of even larger use to Lin Jie. Lin Jie placed these 10 rhomboid coagulated blood drops in front of his chest, and his Heart of Enrage thumped vigorously!

Badum, badum!

They instantly resonated, and slowly, the Blood of Munjo turned into a blood mist and was devoured by the Heart of Enrage.

Afterward, Lin Jie saw that his proficiency for Heart of Enrage increased rapidly, and its speed was even faster than when absorbing the Berserker Boss. The proficiency level actually increased by 1,000 points with the 10 drops of Blood of Munjo! Although it was still far from raising its level, as compared to using normal means, much time was saved.

The Ogre King did not drop items like weapons or materials, and that was partially related to Lin Jie using tactics to kill the Boss. If he had killed it the normal way, a blood armor would be formed after the Boss triggered [Dry Body] continuously. Only then would it drop Munjo weapons or even Dark Gold equipment.

After storing the last key fragment, the four pieces of key fragments in Lin Jie’s backpack resonated and shone faintly. They combined and formed the [Munjo Treasure Room Key]!

As its name implied, it was the final key of the Munjo Treasure Room.

“Rocca, come out, I have completed your mission,” shouted Lin Jie.

Foraging Rocca immediately appeared from Stealth Mode. “The Munjo Treasure Room Key! Wind Rider Sword Saint’s disciple, now you have two choices. One, give me the key and the right half of the Munjo Crown, and I will immediately help you open the Munjo Treasure Room. You can even choose anything you want, as long as you are able to move it all, even taking everything from the treasure room is fine. Meanwhile, I’ll also give all the Training Handbook of the Wind Rider Sword Saint to you and help you complete it.” Rocca panted from speaking that much. He wiped the sweat from his forehead before adding, “Two, that is relying on yourself, and of course, I will not give you the things I have, hehehe…”

Lin Jie blinked his eyes. ‘Two choices?’ Actually, he was not given any choice as Lin Jie had no idea where the Munjo Treasure Room was.

“I’ll consider it.” Lin Jie turned and walked around the surroundings of the throne. According to his experience from the previous two times, there should be a mural here that recorded a skill which enhanced his Anti-Slash. The most direct way to Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes was through Anti-Slash.

Lin Jie looked carefully and searched the whole place, but he did not find any mural at all. The only thing he found was a teleportation passageway that led to the outside.

“Hehe… Wind Rider Sword Saint’s disciple, I have said before that I am also a pupil of the Wind Rider Sword Saint, so the murals of [Anti-Slash] are all in the Munjo Treasure Room.” Rocca licked his finger with his head tilted. He had a haughty expression, which expressed his confidence that Lin Jie would definitely take the bait and accept his proposal. It made Lin Jie want to beat him up.

Any normal person would be able to see that this NPC had other motives, but Lin Jie had no choice as he would definitely not give up the chance to enter the treasure room, and the NPC knew that.

The plot of the Munjo Underground City ended completely with Munjo Ogre King. Lin Jie had obtained 107 Munjo Strengthening Skill Books, 45 Munjo-series Gold weapons, and 273 gold coins! Such gains were definitely worthy of a “hidden map”.

Now, Lin Jie could be teleported outside and record the information within the Blade Peak Canyon, through Minstrels, in a book. Then he could pass it to the Holy Church or Empire in exchange for experience points, reputation, or equipment as a reward.

However, Lin Jie had used food to attract Foraging Rocca, this Munjo Ogre Prince that had been sealed; therefore, triggering an additional plot, which was to find the Munjo Treasure Room.

According to the normal flow of plots, Lin Jie would definitely be scammed by Rocca! The correct way was to ignore Rocca and find the treasure room himself, then use the key to open the door. That was the implied meaning from obtaining the [Munjo Treasure Chest Key] through the mission. Meanwhile now… The situation outside was in turmoil, so Lin Jie had to seize every second and minute to hurry and raise his strength, then leave!

“Rocca, I’ll give you the things!” said Lin Jie.

Rocca immediately appeared, he took the Munjo Crown (Right) and the Treasure Room Key, and a thoughtful smile appeared on his small face. His eyes were no longer hazy. It was like an amnesiac had recovered his memory.

“Follow me.”

Rocca held the key and gently caressed the crown. He brought Lin Jie to an inconspicuous corner after making many turns and pointed to the bottom. He said, “The entrance to the Munjo Treasure Room is here, but it is sealed by the Wind Rider Sword Saint. Only the Wind Rider Blade Aura of a human from an alternate realm could break the seal.”

Ding~

—’Break the Wind Rider Sword Saint’s seal and enter the Munjo Treasure Room.’

Lin Jie’s expression turned serious, and his Blade Aura pierced through the air like a tyrannical sawtooth, creating fearsome wind pressure as it tore through the air. The ground exploded, and gravel was reduced to dust. As the Blade Aura was released, a stairway locked up by countless turquoise chains was revealed. Beside the chains, there were also four totems, which were interconnected, and purplish-blue lightning could be vaguely seen.

That was the entrance of the Munjo Treasure Room.

“Rune Lock, Totem Door.” Lin Jie was astonished, he had already seen the Rune Lock in the Devils Prison before, but this Totem Door was rare in the Guild of Light and could only be seen in tribes. That was Shamans using the special feature of connection between totems to build a door that was similar to a perpetual motion machine. These totems could shoot out lightning from sensing anyone who went close to the totems and would deal 3,000+ points of lightning damage.

Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner was required to activate the Rune Lock.

To activate the Totem Door, players needed to destroy the four totems.

“Identify!” Lin Jie’s eyes gleamed, and the health points of the totems were revealed. Each totem had 10,000 Health Points, but he would receive lightning-attribute damage if he went closer to the totem.

“Thunder Descent!”

Since things had come to this, Lin Jie did not bother to delay time anymore. His body moved, and thunder aura was released, while lightning traveled from Broken Blade to the surface of his body, and he instantly became a lightning giant. Lin Jie clenched his fist, then lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled as lightning snakes crawled around vigorously.

In the duration where he activated Thunder Descent, Lin Jie would be immune to lightning-attribute attacks! He directly dashed between the totems, and at that moment, countless bolts of lightning were formed crazily—they even gathered and formed a Lightning Kodo, Lightning Python, Lightning Magical Ape, and they all attacked Lin Jie!

Crackle—

Those bolts of lightning that were extremely troublesome for normal players were totally useless towards Lin Jie. Besides producing crackling sounds when the attacks landed on Lin Jie, nothing else happened. Thunder Descent was a special skill of Broken Blade, and its grade was extremely high, so how could these bolts of lightning hurt Lin Jie?

Lin Jie raised his Broken Blade, and in the instant where he slashed down, the four totems with 0 Defense value and 10,000 Health Points exploded! Immediately after, Lin Jie used Blade Aura to slice the Rune Lock into half and pushed open the door!

The large treasure room was right in front of him. The door could be seen shimmering with blood-red rays, and looking down from the top, the whole treasure room seemed to be a mirage, an illusion of a bloody scene.

“Hehe, follow me. The Munjo Treasure Room is the most important place for us, Munjo Ogres. There are plenty of treasures hidden inside, but there are many traps too. You will be safe only if I lead the way.” Rocca’s eyes were filled with excitement as they entered the stairway.

Lin Jie gathered his thoughts and immediately followed behind.

‘High risk, high returns… it’s worth the risk!’
