Chapter 51: A Sweep Across the Path!
In the Nightmare difficulty dungeon, Deep in the Dark Forest.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu walked directly towards the corpse of the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander. He couldn't wait to start grinding Hell difficulty.
Soon, Su Yu arrived at the white orb of light that the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander had released and picked it up.
You have obtained 2 Bronze-tier equipment items.
You have obtained 1 pieces of Black Iron-grade equipment.
You have obtained 2 Intermediate Random Attribute Gems.
Then, Su Yu went to the dungeon completion treasure chest and opened it directly.
You have obtained 1 Silver-tier equipment items.
You have obtained 1 Bronze-tier equipment items.
You have obtained 2 Intermediate Random Attribute Gems.
You have received 70 silver coins.
You have gained 2 skill points.
"Hell difficulty, here I come!" A hint of anticipation flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
The next instant, a white light enveloped Su Yu, and his figure vanished from the spot.
Back in Gale Plains, Su Yu didn't hesitate and immediately chose to enter Hell difficulty.
After a moment of dizziness, Su Yu returned to the familiar dense forest.
Swish!
Su Yu moved swiftly, leaving the safe zone and speeding towards the depths of the dense forest.
Before long, the monsters in the first gathering point came into Su Yu's sight; there were a total of twenty-four bloodthirsty cat demons.
This time, Su Yu took a special look at the attributes of the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon.
[Level 10 Bloodthirsty Cat Demon (Normal)]
[HP: 36000/36000]
Physical Attack Power: 720
Physical Defense: 360; Magic Defense: 300
[Skills: Pounce, Bloodlust, Wild Roar]
[Status: Abyss Enhancement]
"As expected, the monsters in Hell difficulty all have Abyss Enhancement status." Su Yu thought to himself.
He discovered this while farming the Goblin Plains dungeon on Hell difficulty: all monsters with Abyss Enhancement status had exceptionally high stats.
It also has the attribute of final damage reduction.
At that time, he guessed that all monsters in Hell difficulty had this Abyss Enhancement state.
Now it seems that this was indeed the case.
Lightning Bolt!
Su Yu drew his black iron longbow to a full moon, and a thunder arrow quietly materialized in his hand.
call out!
In an instant, the lightning arrow shot through the air.
boom!
-56546! (Critical Hit)
Zi la la!
-56546! (Critical Hit)
-56546! (Critical Hit)
……
Arcs of electricity leaped wildly, and in an instant, the entire monster gathering point was enveloped in them.
One by one, the bloodthirsty cat demons met their end before they could even utter a scream under the attack of the electric arcs.
[Successfully defeated a level 10 Bloodthirsty Cat Demon (Normal), gaining 250 experience points. Defeating a higher-level monster grants an additional 125 experience points, 560 copper coins, and 1 skill point.]
Successfully defeated a level 10 Bloodthirsty Cat Demon (Normal difficulty), gaining 180 experience points. Defeating a higher-level opponent grants an additional 125 experience points and 1 skill point.
……
System notifications kept ringing in Su Yu's ears.
However, he ignored the warnings and continued speeding toward the next monster gathering point.
He couldn't wait to meet the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander.
He previously obtained the Mysterious Key Fragment ① from a dungeon completion treasure chest.
Su Yu guessed that the other two mysterious key fragments were most likely obtained by opening dungeon chests.
About three minutes later.
[You have successfully killed 720 Bloodthirsty Cat Demons; the dungeon has entered its second phase.]
[The elite Bloodthirsty Cat Demon will arrive on the battlefield in thirty seconds. Please wait patiently in place.]
"I currently have 1427 skill points. Should I upgrade my skills?" Su Yu pondered during the waiting period.
It takes 545 skill points to upgrade Basic Archery (Normal) from level 50 to level 60.
It takes 555 skill points to upgrade Soul Arrow (Normal) from level 51 to level 61.
It takes 1035 skill points to upgrade Power Arrow (Bronze) from level 30 to level 40.
It takes 1420 skill points to level up Lightning Bolt (Silver) from level 31 to 41.
It takes 870 skill points to upgrade the Life-Devouring Body (Legendary) from level 10 to level 20.
As for the Mana Arrow (Normal), Su Yu is not considering upgrading it for the time being, as the Mana Arrow's current characteristic seems to be mainly to increase the Spirit attribute.
Although the Wind Release skill attached to the Wind Guardian Badge requires the use of the Spirit attribute.
However, the prerequisite for using the Wind Release skill is that Su Yu suffers fatal damage, and this scenario is extremely difficult to trigger.
Su Yu plans to upgrade his mana arrows and improve his spirit attribute after he has a regular teleport skill.
"Let's put the Life-Devouring Body aside for now. I've only stacked 2178 Life-Devouring Marks so far, which is still a long way from the level 10 cap of 10,000 layers."
"When the Life-Devouring Mark is almost stacked to ten thousand layers, I will definitely have enough skill points to upgrade it."
"Lightning Bolt's priority can also be moved down a notch."
"After all, I can now one-shot even a level 10 normal monster on Hell difficulty with a single Lightning Bolt, so I don't lack damage."
"Upgrading to Power Arrow increases strength and critical hit damage, which is an all-around improvement for me."
"Upgrading basic archery provides a balanced boost to attributes and requires fewer skill points. You can also upgrade Soul-Severing Arrow at the same time."
"Upgrading the Soul-Severing Arrow can greatly improve single-target damage output, which is quite helpful when fighting bosses."
Su Yu's mind was racing.
He is currently torn between upgrading Power Arrow, Soul-Severing Arrow, and Basic Archery.
"Let's stop worrying about it and upgrade Soul-Severing Arrow and Basic Archery first." Su Yu quickly made a decision.
Next, he will face the Gold-level Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander, so he should focus on improving his single-target damage output.
Anyway, after upgrading this and that, you'll eventually have to upgrade everything.
Furthermore, based on previous patterns, Su Yu guessed that the level 60 characteristic of the Soul-Severing Arrow should be to fire an additional arrow.
It changed from a three-round burst to a four-round burst, plus an increase in damage coefficient.
Su Yu estimated that this upgrade to the Soul-Severing Arrow would increase its damage by at least 60%, which would greatly improve his efficiency in fighting bosses.
[You have consumed 51 skill points, increasing the level of Soul-Severing Arrow. Current level: 52!]
……
[You have consumed 60 skill points, increasing the level of Soul-Severing Arrow. Current level: 61!]
【lv61 Soul-Severing Arrow (Normal): Active skill, fires a powerful arrow, dealing damage equal to 1220 + physical attack power * 420% to the target, consumes 130 mana, cooldown 1.3 seconds.】
[Level 60 Trait: Each time Soul-Severing Arrow is used, an additional powerful arrow can be fired.]
"Just as I expected, the Soul-Severing Arrows have changed from a three-shot burst to a four-shot burst!" Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Su Yu was very satisfied with the upgraded attributes of the Soul-Severing Arrow.
Although the cooldown time was only reduced by 0.2 seconds, not as much as Su Yu had expected, he didn't have much to say.
After all, a single Soul-Severing Arrow is equivalent to at least a dozen normal attacks.
Such a powerful single-target damage skill only requires a 1.3-second cooldown. What more could you ask for?
