Chapter 138: Neutral Camp

The second area of Belief Church was known as Neutral Camp.

If players had not looked up to see the ceiling of the church, they would have thought they were in the wild. On the open plain, a mountain-sized purple-black beast stumbled along.

It had two large mud-colored heads, each with a golden eye at its center. Its limbs were as soft as mud, and their tongues hung from their mouths with dripping stinky saliva tens of meters high to the ground.

“This… is a Boss?”

“This is the Devourer, monster from Neutral Camp. It was originally a Rat-Eating Bat. Its body mutated after eating too much…”

The team looked up and gulped.

[Devourer]: Level 15 Elite, Health Points: 400,000

How was that even an elite? Its HP was several times higher than a Boss!

In this wilderness-like Neutral Camp, there were no less than 20 Devourers!

“These monsters are not very strong. They only have one skill, Devour. Every 15 seconds they will devour a target and recover 1,500 HP, as well as obtain its attributes and skills superimpose,” said Lin Jie. “Stand in a triangle, two Shield Specialists stand at each side. The target will just stand behind the monsters.”

“Sounds easy,” said Water.

“Let’s try it out.”

Positioning was a huge problem when facing such a huge monster. The radius was too large, and it was very difficult for them to move around.

“Hey son!” shouted Water. He and Mixed Breathless stood at the Devourer’s side while the others stood behind it. The Devourer would have a hard time turning when these two Shield Specialists taunted one after another.

“Pia!”

Its huge tongue hit Water’s shield like a whip.

-102!

“Hahaha, they seem weak!” Water laughed.

Mixed Breathless tried to tank a hit. The Devourer’s attributes were indeed weak. He only took 70 damage.

Not only that, it had a poor defense too. When the weapon hit the bat, it went through without any resistance. Its defense was almost zero!

In just 15 seconds, many damage values appeared and its HP dropped by more than 50,000!

“Groooo…” The Devourer’s stomach made a noise, and the monster rolled out its tongue. Howling sounds came from its mouth, and it said, “Water, I’m gonna eat you!”

Mixed Breathless yelled, “Move back!”

The Devourer’s aggro did not change after many slashes!

When it was using Devour, it was immune to aggro change!

Water was shocked. He quickly ran towards Lin Jie. That was when the Devourer showed its advantage of having a huge body. He ran for a minute while the monster covered that distance in just a step! Water used Intervene and jumped to dodge the attack. He was relieved for a second but realized a disgusting tongue was in front!

Toot!

Water’s health bar was emptied. He was dead!

+1,500!

The Devourer belched satisfactorily, and its whole attributes went up!

Netherblue used her longsword to slash on the Devourer’s body, but a clashing metal sound echoed.

Block!

-104!

“All of Water’s attributes are absorbed,” said Netherblue said.

Consecutive strikes such as Heroic Strike, Heavy Blow, and Crasher were used at different angles. All of them were blocked!

“Groooo… Yellow, I’m gonna eat you!” Water’s voice came from the Devourer’s stomach. Yellow was Lost Camel’s wolf pet!

The Devourer’s body turned around gradually, the ground trembled fiercely, and it had to walk and jump to move forward!

Lost Camel could macro, but the accuracy was far less than that of Lin Jie’s previous life. Yellow was swallowed up in one mouthful!

The monster’s HP went up, and its attack increased tremendously. It also had armor break attributes now!

“Give up!” yelled Lin Jie. The team quickly exited the Neutral Camp and moved back to the dungeon portal.

The Devourer seemed unsatisfied and tried to chase them but was blocked by the boundary of the Neutral Camp. It could only wander around aimlessly.

After 10 minutes, its mouth twitched, and the bodies of Water and Yellow were puked out.

Bu Yi used Revival Spell and revived Water. Lost Camel switched his pet to Venom Spider. Before learning the reviving skill for pets, a dead pet could only be revived at the Pet Training Central.

“Dayum, this monster is disgusting! Lucky I keep my eyes closed all the time. It is like a horror movie,” said Water in a scared tone.

Everyone kept silent.

This was just a monster! It would be really bad if it was a Boss!

In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had not encountered a Devourer while he was clearing the Belief Church. He was struggling with the first Boss and could only clear some normal dungeons. When he was higher level and came back, he was overpowering the monster, and there was no skill involved.

Talking about that, how did the team manage to kill Devourer in his previous life?

Dejected Night suggested, “I think we shouldn’t let it devour us. If we get devoured, the monster will gain our attributes, and we’ll be unable to beat it.”

“How can we dodge its more than a dozen meters long tongue and its huge body?”

“Devour every 15 second, recovery and attributes steal. It is disgusting.”

Qiu Yuan waved her fists and said, “Should I get some DDVP?”

“Little Yuan, quit messing around. We are discussing serious stuff here,” said Bu Yi smilingly.

Lin Jie’s eyes lit up. ‘DDVP?’

“Yes! We can use that!” said Lin Jie. “It can swallow stuff, right? We will feed it then!”

Qiu Yuan rolled her eyes and said, “I’m just kidding. Anyway, the monster would name the player right? Not like it will just swallow whatever is there.”

Lost Camel suddenly said, “It just named my pet. You mean…”

“Bingo!” Lin Jie snapped his finger. “We can just figure out some junk for it to swallow!”

As the manager of the Auction House, Lin Jie could remotely check the auction goods. He searched [Blueprint of Scary Spider].

‘Found it!’ There were a total of 6 pieces at the price of 2 to 5 silver coins.

“I’ll go back first. Wait for me here.” Lin Jie used the returning scroll and went to the Auction House, planning to buy a blueprint back.

Engineering, a word for entertaining and weird stuff, could make many interesting items. For example, a smoke bomb with durian smell and robots that auto-repaired equipment, etc.

[Scary Spider]: Accessory, occupies an Accessory slot. When the item is used, you can summon 5 to 10 scary-looking spiders that deal no damage. Cooldown: 3 minutes.

“Oh?” While Lin Jie was buying the blueprint, he found another thing – [Blueprint of Scary Self-Combusted Spider] at 10 silver coins each.

Compared to normal spiders, the Self-Combusted Spider could set an explosion, and it could be stuffed into rose or paper notes.

Lin Jie’s mouth twitched. When the goblin made this thing, it was probably thinking that when the female goblin was scared by the Self-Combusted Spider, a lovely letter would fall to her hand with the words, “It’s okay, I’m here.” Maybe it was more likely for her to accept his confession.

—’You spent 10 Silver Coins to buy [Blueprint of Scary Self-Combusted Spider]. The item will be delivered to your inventory shortly.’

Lin Jie smiled, the Auction House was starting to become formal.

City of Light Central Auction House had bested the System Auction House with its good geographical location and special cash exchange system. It had a high profit like a golden goose.

Lin Jie then went back to Sky Provisions Shop. Ever since the shop and the Auction House were connected, there were fewer customers there. But some familiar faces decided to stay to watch football matches. It would be great to look at beauties here after leveling too.

He nodded to Bella, who was introducing the shop to the customer and went up to the second floor.

Kuang!

The moment he reached there, he heard a loud explosion.

When he opened the door, a sticky potion wrecked into his face and dozens of -20 damage values were inflicted to Lin Jie.

“Boss!” Seven Ears was shocked. “Sorry, sorry! I was making some Light-Resistance Potion, but my passive mutated it.”

Lin Jie’s mouth twitched. Seven Ears’ passive could mutate the potion, but the result was unpredictable.

Lin Jie asked, “Have you made any unhappy opus?”

Seven Ears nodded disappointedly and pointed towards the waste potions at the side. “Healing potion became poison, increase mana pool potion had the opposite effect… The funniest one is this… I had hundreds of lone wolves and spent half a month to get the ingredient. I was planning to show off to you about it and help you with the dungeon. But…”

Lin Jie looked across. It was a black potion. It was supposed to be Infinite Mana Potion.

[Infinite Mana Potion]: Your spells do not consume any mana for 10 minutes.

That was one of the divine potions! Infinite Mana Potion! A potion that allowed mages to use Fireball, Fire Explosion, and Blizzard without worrying about the mana cost!

However, such potion had a rather low success rate. Even for a Potion Master, the success rate would not go beyond 10%. The ingredients were also hard to get. Gathering them within half a month was lucky.

Seven Ears was happily making the potion and was surprised that the potion had mutated! If the mutation was good, could it change into a super divine potion that permanently increased the mana recovery speed?

But…

[Magic Destruction Potion]: The target will have an 80% lower mana pool. Lasts 3 hours.
