Chapter 27: You’re a Boss, Can You Have Some Backbone?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Naga Warrior – Shi Gang (Level 10) has been killed. Obtained 10,000 Spiritual Energy Points, 10 Naga Bloodline Fragments (Grade 1), 10 Star Fragments (Star Level 1), and 100 Player Reputation Points.]

[Equipment dropped: “Naga’s Spear”, “Naga’s Leather Armor”, “Naga Tribe’s Token”]

[27 Silver Coins dropped.]

Mo Fan’s attack speed and damage were too high for a mere Level 10 Boss.

Shi Gang was insta-killed before he could react. He didn’t even get to use his skills.

Mo Fan picked up the equipment that Shi Gang had dropped.

[Naga’s Spear (Blue)]

[The standard weapon of the Naga Warriors, there’s nothing special about it apart from the length.]

[Attack: 380-566]

[Strength +25]

[Level Requirement: Level 10]

…

[Naga’s Leather Armor (Green)]

[The standard equipment of the Naga Warriors, there’s nothing special about it apart from the low durability.]

[Health +2300]

[Defense: 90-127]

[Poison Resistance +30]

[Level Requirement: Level 10]

…

[Naga Tribe’s Token (Special Item)]

[Identification token of the Naga Race. Without this token, one cannot enter the territory of the Naga Tribe.]

[This token belongs to Shi Gang. No one else can use it.]

A weapon, armor, and a token.

The weapon was blue, which was slightly better than yellow, but much worse than purple.

The Demonized Coiling Dragon Spear in Mo Fan’s hands was much better than this.

As for the equipment, it was green and was worse than the Level 10 Vengeful Spirit Set.

However, the poison resistance was necessary to pass through the first region of the Dense Fog Forest. But of course, Mo Fan did not need these.

Mo Fan directly threw these two pieces of equipment to the trading section of the official website to auction.

The token was interesting. It was a special item.

Only Shi Gang himself could use it.

Mo Fan looked at the Reputation Shop.

[Shi Gang Skin: 5000 Player Reputation Points]

[Fog Snake Skin: 1500 Player Reputation Points]

There was not only Shi Gang’s skin but also the Fog Snake’s skin.

As long as he changed into Shi Gang’s skin, he could use this token.

Mo Fan currently had more than 20,000 Player Reputation Points, so he directly chose to buy it.

-1500 Player Reputation Points!

[Congratulations on obtaining the ‘Fog Snake Skin’!]

[Fog Snake Skin: After using it, you can disguise yourself as a Fog Snake.]

[Time Limit: 7 Day]

Second purchase!

-5000 Player Reputation Points!

[Congratulations on obtaining ‘Shi Gang Skin’!]

[Shi Gang Skin: After using it, you can disguise yourself as the Bronze Boss, Shi Gang.]

[Health +5000]

[Constitution +300]

[Additional skill “Poisoned Weapon” is usable after equipping this skin.]

[Time Limit: 30 Days]

[Skin Companion: Naga Battle Formation]

[Shi Gang (Collected) / Shi Yong (Not Collected) / Shi Qiang (Not Collected)]

[Companion Attribute (Not Activated)]

[Health +30,000]

[Strength +500]

[Constitution +500]

His luck was not that great. Both skins were time-limited instead of permanent ones.

The Fog Snake’s skin did not have any attributes.

It was complete trash and a waste of 1,500 Reputation points.

Mo Fan did not intend to buy such skins in the future.

On the other hand, Shi Gang’s skin gave a huge bonus to health.

The skill it provided was also the same as his original skill.

There was also a three-character skin bonus.

He would probably have to go to the territory of the Naga Tribe to gather them.

After purchasing two skins, he only had 10,000 Reputation Points left.

He wanted to keep these Reputation Points to buy Kuang Dao’s skin.

The effects of Kuang Dao’s skin were simply terrifying.

This descendant of the War God was indeed not a simple individual.

Mo Fan looked at the remaining time on Kuang Dao’s skin.

The one-day time limit was very short, and he only had two hours left.

He changed into Shi Gang’s skin.

He could finally use the [Naga Tribe’s Token].

After using the token, a map appeared in his mind.

It extended from the beginner village to the desert.

That seemed to be the territory of the Naga Tribe.

Mo Fan kept the token.

He was not in a hurry to go to that place.

It was better to first pass through the Dense Fog Forest as soon as possible.

Just now, when Mo Fan was checking his stats, he realized that he still had a large number of Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline Fragments left unused.

[Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline Fragment: 23,968/1000 (Grade 0 Fragment)]

After killing Shi Gang, he obtained a new bloodline fragment.

Mo Fan wanted to see what the Naga bloodline talent was.

If it was very strong, he would turn all of his excess fragments into Naga Bloodline Fragments.

[Naga Bloodline Fragment: 10/10 (Can Be Fused)]

Mo Fan looked at his legs when he saw the fuse button.

Would the fusion turn his legs into a snake tail?

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan clicked on the button.

[System Notification: Currently unable to fuse. Please remove your skin to fuse the bloodline.]

Seeing this system notification, Mo Fan was a little surprised.

In the past, there was no system notification like this.

Could it be because he had fused with too many bloodlines?

Or was the Naga bloodline higher quality than the rest?

Mo Fan could only take off Shi Gang’s skin and tap on the button again.

As a mysterious force stirred in his body, Mo Fan realized that his body became covered in snake scales, but his size did not change that much.

Looking at his own body, if not for the fact that there were some straws sticking through his body, it would be impossible to tell that his original body was a scarecrow.

Instead, he looked more like a terrifying monster!

Mo Fan tore off a straw from himself.

Painful…

Very painful…

It was extremely painful…

-28,329 (Self-harm)

-2343 (Self-harm)

-327 (Self-harm)

Holy sh*t!

I lost so much HP!

Mo Fan looked at the bloody straw in his hand and complained helplessly.

Did he finally become such an ‘annoying’ monster?

He shook his head and looked at his new talent.

[Talent “Lower Naga Bloodline”: Normal attacks have a 10% chance of causing poison damage equivalent to 50% of your attack power. Duration: 5 seconds.]

“Not bad, not bad!”

“This talent is comparable to the bleeding talent. One deals damage based on a percentage of my HP, and the other deals damage based on a percentage of my attack power. They are both amazing!”

Mo Fan was very satisfied with this new talent of his.

However, this new talent was not “inferior” but “lower” from the start.

It was probably because the Naga Bloodline Fragment was a Grade 1 Fragment.

[Naga Bloodline Fragment: 0/100 (Grade 1 Fragment)]

[Scarecrow Bloodline Fragment: 10/100 (Grade 1 Fragment)]

Mo Fan looked at it again.

The Scarecrow Bloodline needed as many fragments as the Naga Bloodline to upgrade.

He directly exchanged 19,000 Grade 0 Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline Fragments for 100 Naga Bloodline Fragments and 90 Scarecrow Bloodline Fragments.

Then, he upgraded both bloodlines.

[Talent “Medium Naga Bloodline”: Normal attacks have a 10% chance of causing poison damage that is 80% of your attack power. Duration: 5 seconds.]

[Talent “Mid Grade Scarecrow Bloodline”: Normal attacks have a 64% chance of causing bleeding, dealing damage that is 10% of your maximum health. Duration: 3 seconds.]

The Naga Bloodline increased the damage dealt, and the Scarecrow Bloodline increased the chance of activation.

He became stronger once more.

“Very good, let’s go and find some monsters!”

The remaining fragments he had were insufficient to upgrade anything.

Mo Fan put on Kuang Dao’s skin and continued deeper into the Dense Fog Forest.

[System Notification: Congratulations on passing through the first region of Dense Fog Forest!]

[System Notification: You have entered the second region of Dense Fog Forest. Dense Fog Forest is full of dangers. Good luck!]

After walking for a while, two more system notifications appeared.

He should have passed through the boundary between the first and second regions of the Dense Fog Forest, but Mo Fan did not feel anything.

He only felt that the fog had become thicker.

Right at this moment, the fog in front of him began to stir and fluctuate violently.

It was as if something was about to rush out of the fog.

Mo Fan immediately assumed an attacking stance and prepared for battle.

Roar!

A huge tiger rushed out of the fog and pounced towards Mo Fan.

Then came the second, and the third!

Mo Fan held onto the Demonized Coiling Dragon Spear tightly and swung it around.

He struck these tiger monsters squarely on their bodies.

-78,436

-102,729 (Bleeding)

-102,729 (Bleeding)

-102,729 (Bleeding)

-62,749 (Poison)

-62,749 (Poison)

-62,749 (Poison)

With the poison damage, even if cleave wasn’t triggered, each attack still dealt 600,000 damage. No tiger could withstand it.

Mo Fan almost always insta-killed his enemies.

Soon, a mountain filled with nothing but corpses of these tiger monsters appeared.

[Fog Tiger (Level 10) has been killed. Obtained 1 Spiritual Energy Point, 1 Player Reputation Point.]

[Fog Tiger (Level 10) has been killed…]

[Fog Tiger (Level 10) has been killed…]

…

Killing these tigers did not give him any fragments, and his Spiritual Energy only increased by 1 for each one he killed.

Mo Fan glanced at the tiger monster with his Demon Eyes.

[Fog Tiger (Level 10)]

[The second region’s wild monster guarding the Dense Fog Forest. It is sturdy and powerful.]

[Health: 50,000 / 50,000]

[Attack Power: 532-721]

[Defense: 123-141]

[Sturdy and Powerful: Constitution and attack strengthened. Health +20,000, Attack +400.]

It was indeed sturdy and powerful!

Although it did not have any skills, its stats were much higher than the Fog Snake.

However, no matter how strong it was, these tigers still fell under Mo Fan’s spear.

Since there was no benefit to killing these Fog Tigers. Mo Fan charged forward as he fought.

After half an hour, the Fog Tigers were finally gone.

Mo Fan looked around.

The fog seemed to have become thicker. His vision was now limited from five meters to two.

Although he was confident in his own abilities, Mo Fan still maintained his high vigilance.

No one knew what would emerge from the fog.

It did not matter even if he was injured.

The problem was that they should not suddenly rush out to scare him.

He hated jumpscares!

Mo Fan slowly walked forward.

The only sound in the forest was the rustling of his footsteps against the bushes and the leaves.

Not long after, two bright spots appeared in front of him like lanterns.

The lanterns were getting closer and closer to him…

“What is this?”

Mo Fan stopped and waved his spear twice, his eyes widened.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew away the fog nearby.

Then, a tiger-faced humanoid monster was revealed.

The monster was huge, it was seven to eight stories tall. It looked rather extraordinary.

Mo Fan wasn’t even as tall as its ankles.

The two lanterns that Mo Fan saw earlier were actually its eyes.

It was obvious that this monster was the Boss of the second region of the Dense Fog Forest!

“How can you… how is this possible?”

The moment this tiger-faced humanoid monster saw Mo Fan, it immediately retreated.

“Hey, what’s wrong with me?”

“You’re much bigger than me, why are you running?”

Mo Fan saw the retreating tiger-faced monster and chased after it.

“F*ck, you’re a boss, can you have some backbone?”

Hearing Mo Fan’s words, the tiger-faced monster ran even faster as the ground shook in its wake.
