Beep, Active Skills Cannot Be Used Here (2)
Thirst for Blood: Your attacks will gain a 25% lifesteal effect.
Bloodthirsty Restoration: 1% of your attacks will be used to repair this bow.
Embryo: This item is upgradable.
Equipment Level: 20
"What a powerful bow! Not only does it increase my attack power by 500, but it also has this terrifying skill. It seems like my physical attack power can be significantly enhanced!" Mo Xiao excitedly clenched his fist as he looked at the Flying General Longbow in his hand and quickly equipped it.
Fortunately, there was no one around at the moment. If Jiang He were still here, Mo Xiao wouldn't dare reveal his true nature.
"But what is this orange +2 tier? Shouldn't it be red above orange?"
Mo Xiao looked at this special quality with some confusion.
[To upgrade an Orange-tier weapon to Red, it requires five successful enhancements. Only then can it be upgraded to a Red equipment.]
"Hm? Orange weapons can be upgraded to red weapons?" Mo Xiao asked curiously.
[Third-level blacksmiths can spend a large amount of materials to improve the quality of Orange equipment. As for Red equipment, besides upgrading, they can only be obtained from special treasure chests, and they are extremely rare.]
"Oh… I see."
Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this: "Well, I don't care about that for now. Let's check the skills first."
[You rubbed the skill book, Thorns, and it evolved into an anti-armor!]
[You rubbed the reflective armor of the skill book, and the reflective armor evolved into the Black Tortoise Armor.]
[Black Tortoise Armor: Red skill. When an enemy inflicts damage on you, 50% of the damage will be reflected back, and the target of the reflection will experience water and earth control effects of an equivalent level. If an enemy's attack could instantly kill you, you will be forced to remain at 1 HP for five seconds. Cooldown: 48 hours. If your weapon perfectly blocks the enemy's attack, the attack will be completely reflected back and cause 300% composite damage of earth and water attributes!]
"Black Tortoise Armor… Looks like I've obtained a life-saving divine skill! I'm invincible!"
Mo Xiao grinned happily and took out the last item from his backpack.
"A Lord-tier Boss Treasure Chest. I hope you give me something awesome!"
[You rubbed against the Lord-tier Boss Treasure Chest. The Lord-tier Boss Treasure Chest has been upgraded to a Bronze-tier Boss Treasure Chest!]
[The treasure chest cannot be further sublimated.]
Just as Mo Xiao was trying to skim it again, the system's prompt disappointed him with a sigh.
"Alright, if it's Bronze-level, then let it be Bronze-level. I hope it contains some practical items."
[You opened the Bronze-level boss treasure chest. Congratulations, you obtained a Talent Upgrade Card.]
[Talent Upgrade Card: Randomly upgrades the talents on your body, limited to S-rank and below.]
"Talents can be upgraded too?!
"Let's continue!"
[You rubbed the Talent Upgrade Card, and the Talent Upgrade Card sublimated into a Talent Level-Up Card.]
[Talent Level-Up Card: Randomly upgrades the talents on your body by two levels, maximum upgrade to SSS-rank.]
"Two consecutive levels, but it can only be upgraded to SSS-rank. I wonder if there are higher ranks beyond SSS." Mo Xiao murmured, without hesitation, he directly used the Talent Level-Up Card.
[You used the Talent Level-Up Card. Congratulations, your Advanced Reaction talent has been strengthened and upgraded to S-rank talent - Godly Reaction.]
[Godly Reaction: Your reaction in battle will reach its peak, and you will have complete control over every detail.]
"That looks promising, a direct enhancement to my strength? The specifics will have to be discovered during battle. Let's go."
As Mo Xiao spoke, he held the lord's sword in his left hand and the flying bow in his right as he strode along the tunnel.
Unlike the Black Ant Tunnel, this passageway had no forks or hollow spaces.
It was just a simple passageway. It was impossible to tell what it was.
After approximately 10 minutes of walking, the passage suddenly widened, and Mo Xiao quickly realized that he had entered a vast square.
[You have arrived at the trial grounds ·1. Please complete the trial!]
As the system prompt sounded, the entire square began to shake violently.
Then, a giant monster wielding a large sword appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao.
This monstrous creature wore heavy armor adorned with eerie red stripes, and its arms were covered in a layer of red crystals, giving off a terrifying aura.
[Guardian 1]
Level: ???
Attributes: ???
Introduction: It has guarded this place for countless years, and no one has ever passed through its hands. Perhaps no one has ever come here? Pay attention to the red crystals on its body, which seem to possess a horrifying power.
"Another creature that I can't see anything about?"
Mo Xiao frowned slightly and instinctively prepared to unleash a full-power attack.
But the system prompt appeared once again, indicating that active skills still couldn't be used in this place.
Mo Xiao took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the closed gate behind the guardian. It was clear that he would have to defeat him to proceed.
[Trial begins!]
Just as Mo Xiao was preparing to attack, a chilling system prompt suddenly sounded.
The guardian's eyes instantly glowed with dangerous red light.
"Roar!!!"
With a deafening roar, Mo Xiao suddenly took two steps back and drew his bow.
In that instant, Mo Xiao noticed several green-glowing spots appearing on the guardian's body.
"What are those? Weak points? Well, let's try."
Without hesitation, Mo Xiao aimed at those spots and shot an arrow.
The arrow flew forth, splitting into four smaller arrows that arced towards the guardian.
-2608!
-1304!
-1304!
-1304!
-1304!
With just this ordinary arrow without any additional skills, Mo Xiao directly depleted more than 7,000 of the guardian's health.
It could be seen how terrifying the Flying General Longbow was.
"Roar!!!"
After being struck by Mo Xiao's attack, the guardian seemed enraged. It once again roared into the sky.
In the next moment, it swung its large sword with great force.
An ominously crimson blade light, visible to the naked eye, rushed straight towards Mo Xiao at an incredibly fast speed.
Even the ground cracked open with a visible fissure caused by the blade's swift movement.
Seeing the rapidly approaching blade light, Mo Xiao wanted to dodge, but the speed was beyond what his current agility could evade.
Just as the blade light was about to hit, Mo Xiao suddenly felt his senses become dozens of times sharper.
In an instant, Mo Xiao swung his Lord's Longsword horizontally.
"Ding!"
A clear sound of metal clashing reverberated.
And a terra-cotta-colored light instantly illuminated Mo Xiao.
Faintly visible was a gigantic tortoise.
Meanwhile, the previously red blade light abruptly changed direction.
Wrapped in a mix of terra-cotta and blue light, it rebounded with an even more terrifying speed than before, striking heavily at the guardian's chest.
-6666
-6666
-6666
In an instant, white, yellow, and blue numbers of different colors emerged from the guardian's head.
Clearly, they indicated ordinary, earth, and water attribute damage.
The guardian let out a wretched scream and fell heavily to the ground.
It struggled in pain and seemed to be unable to get up.
At this moment, the green glow in Mo Xiao's eyes converged at his chest, forming a deep red dot.
"Hmm? Broke through its defense?"
Seeing this, Mo Xiao didn't hesitate and immediately rushed forward, thrusting his sword into the guardian's chest.
(ps: The Dual Star power allows the attributes and skills of both weapons to be combined, so the Lord's Longsword also had the attack power of the Flying General Longbow at this moment.)
-13,040!
As a massive red font appeared, the guardian let out a pitiful scream, flapped a few times, and then lay still.
Before long, it dissipated into specks of stardust and disappeared.
[You have slain Guardian No. 1 and gained 10,000 experience points!]

[You obtained Guardian's Saber *1]
