“This familiar feeling!”
“You didn't disappoint me!”
Li Xiuman stood up straight, reconnecting the Rib Sword to his chest to maintain his balance.
At this moment, Li Xiuman's Constitution was high enough to withstand this rampaging energy.
The bone of his shoulder was quickly dyed red by the energy from the left arm bone.
[Obtained skill, Hyper-Regeneration LV2]
His luck was quite good. He had actually obtained this troll skill, which, combined with his own [Self-Healing], would raise his survivability to a whole new level.
In the future, when fusing bones, he could be even more reckless.
Standing up straight, he endured the pain, which wasn't too exaggerated, until the energy finally subsided.
[Constitution +2, Strength +1, Spirit +1]
After rampaging for a round, the energy stopped surging, settling quietly into his left arm bone.
It seemed the remaining energy would behave as it usually did, only being absorbable when he leveled up.
“I've finally found a reliable way to acquire spare parts.”
Li Xiuman swung his left arm, extremely satisfied.
Harvesting arms from floor bosses made conquering dungeons much more cost-effective.
And then there was the final reward—two blue chests!
With rewards this bountiful, a troll could almost propose to him with them.
Rubbing his hands together, Li Xiuman opened the first chest.
A blue light overflowed from the chest, revealing a longbow lying at the bottom.
The longbow was pitch-black overall, its edges inlaid with silver thread. Its two ends were wrapped in metal, connected by a silver bowstring.
It looked both simple and elegant.
[Silverlight Bow] A longbow favored by the moonlight of the dark night. Pray that you are never locked onto by it on a moonlit night.
[Special Effects] 1. Dark Favor (When drawing the bow in the dark, the fired arrows will be faster)
2. Moonlight Favor (When drawing the bow on a moonlit night, arrows will be coated with a layer of moonlight, increasing penetration. The brighter the moonlight, the stronger the effect)
3. Lock-On (Using an arrow stained with the target's aura will result in a 100% hit rate, unless it is blocked)
4. Blank Shot (Firing an arrow stained with the target's aura into empty space will cause the arrow to seek out the target's location, continuing its flight until it is stopped)
[Quality] Blue
“A bow?”
Examining it closely, Li Xiuman was quite satisfied.
If used during the night, the effect would be pretty good.
Too bad he wasn't of the Archer class.
Even if he didn't use it, [Lock-On] + [Blank Shot] allowed him to use it as a tracking magic tool.
It perfectly made up for one of his weaknesses, so it wasn't useless to him at all.
And honestly, this bow looked pretty cool.
Li Xiuman grabbed the bow, drew it, and tested it a few times, enjoying the feeling of being an Archer for a brief moment.
He then put the longbow back into his treasury and opened the next chest.
Once again, a brilliant blue light flashed.
Lying in the chest was an exquisite crystal pendant.
A chain woven of silver metal held a long, gray crystal.
[Omen Crystal] This crystal will forecast and divine for you. When out and about, why not trust the results of divination?
[Special Effects] 1. Danger Omen (When encountering danger, it will turn red. The greater the danger, the more vibrant the red)
2. Poison Omen (When encountering anything poisonous, it will turn green. The more toxic it is, the greener it becomes)
3. Labyrinth Omen (When mana is channeled into it, it will turn orange if you walk down the correct path)
4. Death Omen (When encountering danger capable of causing death, the crystal will shatter, blocking one instance of fatal damage)
[Quality] Blue
“Wow!”
Li Xiuman pulled out the crystal, his eyes shining.
This, he liked.
An ultimate survival tool.
Not only could it foresee various dangers and guide him through labyrinths, but it could also block fatal damage.
What kind of god-tier item was this!
He originally wanted to wear the Omen Pendant on his spine.
After all, it was such a precious treasure.
But after giving it some thought, wouldn't he be unable to see it if it was hanging on his spine?
So, he wrapped the pendant around his wrist several times, using it as a bracelet.
This way, he would immediately notice when the pendant glowed.
No one would ever be able to launch a sneak attack on him again!
Having opened both chests, Li Xiuman still wanted more.
Damn, the satisfaction came too quickly. It was over in a flash.
Oh right, there was still something else!
Li Xiuman set his sights on the iron club on the ground—the weapon the troll had originally wielded.
Normal adventurers didn't have status screens, so defeating the boss would usually just yield this piece of equipment.
The moment he grabbed the massive iron club's handle, it automatically shrank to match Li Xiuman's size.
The tip was thick and bulky, while the handle was shaped perfectly for his grip.
The weight was terrifying. It seemed only the size had changed, but not the weight.
[Troll's Mallet] A mallet wielded by trolls. It possesses destructive power, sweeping through everything in its path when swung.
[Special Effects] 1. Shattering Touch (Attacks are infused with a shattering and vibrating effect)
2. Attunement (Automatically resizes to match the wielder's body, though the weight remains the same. Its minimum length is one meter)
3. Strength Boost (Strength +5)
[Quality] Blue
After giving it a test swing, Li Xiuman threw the club into his storage space with satisfaction.
He would keep it as a backup weapon for now.
Next, Li Xiuman walked over to the troll's corpse and aimed his wand at its chest.
“Tier 2 Magic, High Individual Reanimation!”
A pitch-black magic circle expanded over the troll's corpse, but absolutely nothing happened.
Well, it looked like a corpse that had its blood and bones drained dry by him could no longer be put to use.
He could only tactically abandon the rest of the corpse. What a waste.
Bypassing the corpse, Li Xiuman walked toward the deepest part of the labyrinth, where he encountered a smaller stone door.
It appeared this was the path leading to the 31st floor of the dungeon.
His current condition wasn't exactly great.
He had very little mana left, the goblins and Golems were almost completely wiped out, the zombie Goblin King was severely damaged, and even Number Zero was broken.
Thus, he had no intention of exploring further. Retreating was the better option.
There was no need to backtrack floor by floor either. He was a Demon King with authority now, unlike those lowly adventurer peasants.
He retrieved the bead-like Dungeon Core, his non-existent mouth curling up slightly.
First, he used its projection feature to find an inconspicuous corner on the 1st floor.
Then, he activated the core.
“Teleport.”
“First floor.”
A blue magic circle expanded beneath his feet, and the Dungeon Core glowed brightly.
The light enveloped Li Xiuman's body, carrying him away as he vanished from the spot.
At the same time, in that inconspicuous corner on the 1st floor, a blue magic circle opened, shining with a blue light.
And Li Xiuman stumbled out from the blue light, reaching out to support himself against the wall.
“This feels different from teleporting in the White Bone Dungeon. Why is it so uncomfortable?”
“Dizziness, and... nausea?”
“It's been so long. I don't even have a stomach anymore...”
“I guess my Constitution still isn't high enough.”
Li Xiuman had a feeling that the further he teleported, the more pronounced this effect would be.
It seemed that if he wanted to teleport between cities, he would still need to train more...
Alternatively, he could conquer more dungeons and collect more teleportation nodes to improve the stability of his teleports.
Having studied teleportation magic before, he naturally found a solution quickly.
