Chapter 15 You've Been Lacenmed
"Only one in ten thousand people can enter the Linglang Cave twice!"
Lu Chao walked into the Linlang Cave with his hands behind his back.
Although he was forced to jump off the cliff this time, he benefited from the cheat, which made him feel secretly pleased and superior.
Of course, Lu Chaoding had even higher expectations in his heart.
The treasures on the first level of the Linlang Cave are already extraordinary; what treasures will the second level hold?
Lu Chaoding had already decided to go and fight that 1500 HP Night-Walking Boar Beast.
Linlang Cave is not a dungeon, but a secret realm of opportunity. The scenery inside the first level is exactly the same as before Lu Chaoding was teleported away. The lid of the treasure chest is open, and no new guardian beasts have appeared.
Lu Chao originally intended to head straight to the second floor, but as he passed the Treasure Chest of Opportunities, a thought suddenly struck him. He took out a compressed biscuit, placed it inside the Treasure Chest of Opportunities, and then closed the lid of the Treasure Chest.
The attributes of the Treasure Chest remain unchanged, so if an unsuspecting person comes along, they won't be able to tell from the outside that the chest has been opened.
"I wonder if opening this treasure chest and taking the compressed biscuits inside will also be considered as taking away rare treasures, and thus I'll be teleported back to Lion Cliff..."
Lu Chao muttered to himself that he wouldn't try it; if he were actually teleported away, it would be a huge loss.
"Alright, let's leave this compressed biscuit here, so that those who come after us won't leave empty-handed."
Lu Chao chuckled, a mischievous thought rising in his mind. He wondered if any lucky person would get the compressed biscuit he had left behind.
He continued onward and soon arrived at the second level of the Linlang Cave, where he saw the nocturnal boar beast again.
At this moment, Lu Chao glanced at his attribute data: character level LV4, health 220, attack 82, tenacity 1, defense 0, speed 125, battle spirit 0, available cultivation 224!
He immediately consumed 200 points of cultivation to upgrade his combat skill [Heavy Strike] to LV2.
The LV2 [Heavy Strike] skill increases normal attack damage by 50%, which is only so-so. Moreover, this skill is already at its limit at LV2 and cannot be upgraded any further.
"A one-star white combat skill is really weak, not worth upgrading. Those 200 cultivation points are a bit of a waste. Oh well, I'll just have to make the most of every little bit of damage I can get!"
Lu Chaoding looked at the Night-Walking Boar Beast again and slowly said, "I admit you are very strong, with a health point of 1500, but your speed is only 80. If I use the [Life Steal Potion], with my speed boost of 125, how will you deal with it?"
The nocturnal boar grunted twice, seemingly looking down on Lu Chaoding.
Lu Chao didn't hesitate at all. He tilted his head back and drank the [Life Steal Potion]. Immediately, a faint red light emanated from his body, and he gained a buff that granted him "10% attack life steal for two minutes".
"kill!"
Lu Chao roared, his aura rising. He stood more than 20 meters away from the Night-Walking Boar Beast. He first activated the Earth God's Aura, then grabbed the Commoner Sword in his hand and rubbed it to create 16 sword shadows. He then tossed the Commoner Sword into the air, mentally manipulating the sword to perform a sword flower dance. Finally, he joined his right index and middle fingers together and pointed at the Night-Walking Boar Beast with great seriousness.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh...
A cold light flashed, the sword moved like a shooting star, and the commoner's sword and sixteen sword shadows struck the Night-Walking Boar Beast's head in succession and with great speed, causing the damage numbers to explode and float up immediately.
"-41"
"-4"
"-4"
……
"-4, toughness broken, -564!"
"-8"
"-8"
"-8"
"-8"
"-8"
Total damage from one sword strike: 689!
Enter the battle zone!
Lu Chaoding, with a speed of 125, immediately faced the first round again.
"kill!"
He coldly pointed at the nocturnal boar beast again, and whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The commoner's sword and 16 sword shadows flew like a bombardment, stabbing at the head of the night-walking boar beast. Each strike made it tremble, and it nodded like a pestle being pounded.
Since the Night-Walking Boar's resilience had been depleted, Lu Chao's sword strike dealt full damage, totaling 210!
At the same time, Lu Chaoding's "Boiling Blood Frenzy" was fortunately triggered. His figure immediately grew taller, his attack power increased to 86, his attack life steal stacked to 30%, and numbers appeared above his head.
"+8"
"+0"
……
"+0"
"+1"
"+1"
There are 19 numbers in total, 17 of which are green, representing the life recovery from attacking and draining life, which is the effect of the [Bloodthirst Potion].
In the Hongchen Sword Realm, damage and health recovery are calculated in fractions, and anything less than "1" is "0". Therefore, with a 10% attack lifesteal effect, Lu Chao, who has 82 attack power, recovers 8 health with a normal attack. The attack of the Splitting Light Sword Shadow is only 8, so the 10% health recovery is 0.8. If we disregard this, the actual health recovery is "0".
Of course, at this moment, Lu Chao's health was already at its maximum, and the healing was already excessive.
As for the other two numbers that appeared above Lu Chao's head, they were blue, representing the gathering of fighting spirit!
This is the extraordinary characteristic of [Splitting Light and Shadow].
"Luckily, I gained an extra two points of battle spirit. Combined with the recovery from a normal attack, I reaped three points of battle spirit from this attack!"
Lu Chao nodded secretly, then grabbed the flying sword and held it horizontally in front of him, assuming a defensive posture. Sixteen sword shadows followed, also lined up in front of him!
He knew it was useless; as long as the Night-Walking Boar attacked, he would still lose the same amount of health as before. But striking a pose made him feel a little more at ease.
The next moment, the nocturnal boar charged fiercely at Lu Chao, looking like a mad bull, as if it could knock Lu Chao away in an instant. But when it reached Lu Chao's head, it stopped and gently nudged him with its horn, as if it were touching a beloved object, afraid of accidentally breaking it.
This is the Night-Walking Boar's basic attack method, and after attacking, it wriggles its rear end and returns.
A damage number appeared above Lu Chao's head: "-75, Toughness Penetration".
Once the nocturnal boar returned to its original spot, Lu Chaoding's second round began.
"Heavy blow!"
Lu Chaoding used his combat skills, and the Commoner Sword and 16 sword shadows lined up in front of him, with the tips of the swords all pointing upwards at a 45-degree angle.
After two breaths, the charge was complete. The commoner's sword and the 16 sword shadows glowed. Lu Chao pointed at the night-walking boar beast again and shouted, "Kill!"
Make it so fast...
The glowing sword and its shadow flew like missiles, bombarding the area rapidly. Seventeen damage numbers then appeared overlapping above the Night-Walking Boar's head.
"Heavy hit, -129"
"-8"
"-8"
……
In this attack, Lu Chao suffered a total of 257 damage!
The Night-Walking Boar has 344 lives remaining!
Lu Chao's "Boiling Blood Frenzy" was triggered again, and 17 healing numbers appeared above his head.
"+38"
"+2"
"+2"
……
With the combination of Bloodlust and a lifesteal potion, Lu Chaoding gained 30% lifesteal attack power. After a single attack, he actually recovered 70 health points!
As a result, his health bar was almost full, and his life returned to 215!
"Haha, next round is mine again, you got lapped!"
Lu Chaoding shouted loudly, and sure enough, the system notification sounded immediately afterward, and it was determined that Lu Chaoding's turn would continue.
Lu Chaoding's speed is 125, while the Night-Walking Boar's speed is only 80. According to the battle settings, at the beginning of the battle, both the attackers and defenders start running simultaneously on a circular track with a total length of 10000. They can take action once they reach the finish line.
So when Lu Chaoding with a speed of 125 finished his third lap, the boar with a speed of 80 had not yet finished his second lap. This means that Lu Chaoding's third round was determined before the boar's second round.
"Heavy blow, kill!"
Lu Chao roared, his momentum unstoppable. He used [Heavy Strike] again, unleashing a barrage of sword shadows that dealt a total of 257 damage – his output was incredibly consistent!
Lu Chao's health bar was completely full, but unfortunately, the Blood Frenzy did not continue to trigger, and his body returned to its original state.
At this point, the Boiling Blood Boar Beast's health points were down to only 87.
"It's safe!"
Lu Chaoding was finally completely relieved.
He had anticipated the battle against the Night-Walking Boar. With his talent at level three and a speed of 125, Lu Chaoding could guarantee a full three rounds. If he could enter the fourth round, he would surely win.
But before the fourth round, he will have to withstand the Night-Walking Boar's second attack.
The Night-Walking Boar has a full 150 attack power!
After breaking the toughness, if Lu Chao doesn't recover health after being hit twice and loses 225 health points, exceeding his maximum health of 220, he will definitely be killed.
Therefore, in order to increase his chances of survival, Lu Chaoding used a [Life Steal Potion] to ensure that he could replenish his health before the Night-Walking Boar attacked a second time. He didn't need much, just more than 150.
Although Lu Chao has the Earthly Lion Dog, which has a 50% chance of entering Blood Frenzy when attacking or being attacked, thus gaining the ability to heal by sucking blood, he was afraid that he would be unlucky and fail to trigger this state. Therefore, he used the [Blood-Sucking Potion] beforehand to be on the safe side.
The next moment, the nocturnal boar grunted and ran up to Lu Chao, nudged him for 150 points of health, and then waddled away contentedly.
"End your sinful life!"
Lu Chao shouted, and the round began. He struck again with his sword, and the night-walking boar beast was knocked down. Then its body turned into light, and the light quickly condensed into a set of clothes with a green glow. The most conspicuous thing in the clothes was a helmet, which looked like it was made from a boar's head with tusks.
Lu Chao's eyes lit up: "This is... a fake pig costume!"
