Chapter 1399: Chapter 1399

Lin Yucha was able to easily launch a stealth attack on two Swamp Crocodiles largely because of the disparity in strength, and also because Lin Yucha’s battle method was precisely this type of stealth attack.

Though Lin Yucha often follows Du You in performing strong frontal attacks, she is actually more suited to hiding first, then launching a surprise attack. When she strikes, it’s silent and swift, with all fluctuations fully concealed.

The speed of the arrows is so fast that she easily wounded both giants just now.

As for the Crocodiles swallowing the poison themselves, that was their own problem.

The Crocodiles have been the tyrants here for so long that they have forgotten what it feels like to encounter a formidable enemy. The few adversaries capable of challenging them would not appear here, nor would they employ such tactics.

Thus, the two unlucky Swamp Crocodiles ingested the poison. Although the effect of poison is determined by skills and does not change, the potency varies.

Swallowing it directly results in the greatest dosage of poison and the most enduring effect.

"Look, they are already dead," suddenly, Lin Yushi spoke to Du You and the others.

The surrounding Swamp Crocodiles began to roll in pain, those below tier five dying in just two seconds, while those of tier five lasted less than five seconds.

"It held on for quite a while, but a direct attack would have been more straightforward."

Du You waved his hand: "Even though it’s slower, the area of effect is large, and it costs less mana. Those two arrows covered an area with two to three hundred Swamp Crocodiles. A few more shots would wipe them out."

"Yeah, if the toxin fully spreads, it would cover a larger area than my Demon-breaking Scattering. Even if they don’t die immediately, we don’t have to bother with them, they will all be dead soon," Lin Yushi also said.

Lin Yushi continued: "My attacks come in bursts; if they are blocked, there’s no issue. But with poisoning, if not detoxified in time, it’s ongoing and its effect isn’t weak against those of the same level. Besides, ordinary antidotes simply can’t contend with the effects brought by Magic Gold Deadly Poison."

Lin Yucha nodded but didn’t take it to heart too much. In Lin Yucha’s eyes, the skills that truly suited her were the instantaneous kill ones. Like Spiral Snipe – no other skill was more suitable.

If Lin Yucha wasn’t frequently fighting alongside Du You, she would have abandoned most of her skills.

"Quick, look, those two Swamp Crocodiles are also about to go down," Du You suddenly said.

After holding on for a short while, the two Swamp Crocodiles realized that their pride in their resistance was futile as their bodies began to suffer. With so many of their kin dead, one could imagine how furious the Crocodiles were.

In fact, Du You himself had Poison Resistance, though he had not consumed anything that would increase it, so it did not appear in the status list. But everyone had it, improving with level advancement.

Warriors naturally have a bit more Poison Resistance, while Mages have less. All kinds of resistances are inherently found in humans.

But without external enhancement, it is difficult to notice. Now the Crocodiles’ resistances were nearly reduced to zero, which speaks volumes about their situation. This was a toxin that was equally effective even against tier six.

A Crocodile finally noticed Du You in the air, opened its mouth, and took a bite.

All of a sudden, Du You’s expression changed, and he activated his Magic Power Shield. In the next moment, several white, fang-like beams of light directly hit his shield in the Void, but were blocked.

"Space ability? No, it’s not a space ability. This must be a kind of special conduction method. Conducted through the air, huh? This method of force transmission is indeed special. I can’t believe a Magical Beast could do this. This could pose a huge threat to Mages if regular Warriors could learn it too." This isn’t an attack released from afar but a form of conduction.

It’s like a close-range attack, with no reduction in force, all released in an explosive state. Other long-range attacks weaken with distance, as Warriors are not Mages.

"We are not Warriors, don’t worry about it, finish it up quickly," Lin Yushi said.

"Alright, you two take action," Du You had just finished speaking when Lin Yushi called down Thunder and Lightning from the sky, piercing a weak spot behind a Crocodile’s neck, leaving it half-dead on the spot. The most update n0vels are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Lin Yucha was more direct, with Spiral Snipe drilling into another Crocodile’s head and killing it instantly. The other one struggled for a while before slowly succumbing to death.

Du You opened the sphere but showed a surprised expression.

"Huh, I didn’t expect such an unexpected gain. Although it isn’t great, it’s still usable." Du You took out what he had just obtained, and it turned out to be two pieces of leather armor, which is rare to drop directly from a Magical Beast, and this time two pieces at once.

Wetland Leather Armor: Defense 58, Magic Resistance 34. Made from the hide of Swamp Crocodiles, it comes with the skill ’Smooth Surface’, which can deflect various physical attacks, weakening their power. (Dark black)

Though it has significant drawbacks, it is at least a decent garment. The sisters had been wearing ordinary blue-quality leather armor, casually taken from the company for use until now. With tier six materials being rare and nothing dropped, they had continued using them. Now with new armor available, they naturally put them on.

However, it seemed to inherit the problem of the Swamp Crocodiles; the Magic Resistance of the armor was only tier four, and mid-tier four at that.

No wonder the Swamp Dwarves told them that the Swamp Crocodiles’ Magic Resistance was not high, it wasn’t just low, it was extremely weak. If Du You had taken action just now, he felt he could easily have finished them off with one move.

After changing into the new equipment, Lin Yucha hesitated. "Master, aren’t you going to wear it? Your clothes are also just blue."

Like the sisters, most of Du You’s equipment was also just makeshift.

"I’m wearing a magic robe, even if it’s terrible, it can still increase Magic Power effects, which isn’t bad. What would I be doing wearing leather armor?" Du You didn’t want to make himself a hodgepodge.

He’d been berated by Duo before for wearing too many trinkets. Now things were better because he had fewer pieces of equipment; he didn’t need to turn himself into a display rack, but he really didn’t want to mix and match styles.

"Alright, enough talk, just take these two fellows and let’s go find those Dwarves, let’s finish our own tasks first."
