Chapter 507 - Pleasant Surprise of the Treasure Refining Talent

“That’s our lunch for today.
“Such a huge snake, if sliced and cooked, will be enough for a thousand men to eat. The meat of a Transcendent snake can probably turn someone Extraordinary immediately.”
Apart from the two heroes, a third person also landed on the Black Tortoise’s back.
He extended the wok in his left hand into the water and took a part of the Transcendent snake that Wu Song killed.
He shook his head and filled his True Qi into the wok. Immediately, flames rose and the meat was fried. Everybody on the battlefield could smell the fragrance.
He was Hao Dahai, the chef in Dragon City who was Transcendent Rank-1 at this moment.
Very few players were Transcendent in Dragon City. Thanks to his talent ability, Hao Dahai’s cultivation speed was among the top three.
Now that Dragon City was in a crisis, he went to the battlefield as a chef again.
“There are also so many kinds of seafood here. Great!
“Alright, gourmet little guys, go bring back the ingredients down below!”
Hao Dahai put on a chilling smile on his fat face while he took the knife strapped to his arm and slashed it toward the surface of the sea heavily.
A tremendous amount of black air dispersed from the saber and melted with the blood of the deceased monsters in the saber, forming birds, beasts, fish, and insects that lunged at the living sea monsters and fought them!
[Bone Crushing Butcher’s Knife]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]
[Rarity: Refined]
[Description: A saber made of thousand-year iron. Because it absorbed the souls and hatred of the food ingredients it killed, it was given Transcendent power by the Dragon City’s Master!]
Yes, another masterpiece by the Dragon City’s Master.
Lately, Ji Ye had crafted a lot of Transcendent treasures with his Fusion and Treasure Refining talents.
It was supposed to be an unprofitable thing for him.
After all, using the talent skills would cost him his own power of providence.
However, after Ji Ye crafted some Transcendent equipment with his talents and gave the items to the heroes, he found that his quota of power of providence actually increased.
Ji Ye speculated that the reason for the phenomenon was that the settlement’s comprehensive power was significantly improved after he did that, and it was considered his “contribution”.
After all, some of the Transcendent equipment would be more useful in the hands of other heroes than they would be in his own.
That was also the reason why so many heroes of Dragon City had Transcendent treasures that were personally crafted by Dragon City’s Master!
However, while Dragon City boasted Transcendent players and treasures, so did the mermaids.
“%#[email protected]!”
In the seawater, a handsome merman, who rode a creature that was covered in a gray shell and looked like a sea horse that had wings, surfaced in the water.
Then, the merman played a conch shell like a musical instrument loudly.
“Roarrrr!”
The deep soundwaves that felt like the music of flutes came out of the conch shell.
Splash!
Wherever the soundwaves passed, the seawater trembled violently.
Then, a thousand four-armed sea giants, which were ten meters tall, made entirely of seawater, and looked like a combination of humans and Forest Monsters, showed up.
The moment they appeared, they attacked the defenders who were on the Black Tortoise’s back vehemently.
“Stop them!”
An elite player, who was from the third batch and who used to be a scout on Earth just like Li Qing, raised a Purple Wood Shield to which a tiger head was engraved and stood in front of a sea giant.
Boom!
The sea giant’s four arms all smashed into the Purple Wood Shield.
The impact of the first three arms was absorbed by the energy absorption feature of the Purple Wood Shield.
However, when the fourth arm smashed down, the player, who had reached Extraordinary Rank-5, was flung back a little bit.
“Be careful! Those sea monsters have Extraordinary combat ability. They’re very song! Model 2 of the Purple Wood Shield cannot fully neutralize their attack!”
After shouting aloud to warn his comrades, the player moved forward and dashed towards the sea giant.
Hum!
The tiger head on his Purple Wood Shield had glowing eyes too.
It released all the forces that it absorbed from the sea giant’s consecutive attacks and more or less shattered it. Then, the player took out a red item that had magic rune engravings and looked like a grenade.
Whoosh!
The player quickly seized the opportunity and smashed the item into the sea giant.
It was a magic grenade that Ji Ye developed after fusing the Incomplete Magic Slate he got from the lizards!
The explosive inside the grenade was a magic crystal, which made it far more powerful than modern grenades. Also, it could be detonated remotely with mental ability, so it was much safer and could be used for other purposes.
Boom!
After a gigantic explosion, steam rose between the flames and the water.
After the steam dispersed, the enormous sea giant was completely gone from the surface of the sea!
“The magic grenade, which has Extraordinary Rank-6 damage, can destroy a sea giant completely, which means that its comprehensive combat ability should be below Extraordinary Rank-5…”
While fighting, the player quickly reported the information via the SkyNet.
“Wait a moment…”
However, before he could finish, the player had changed his expression.
“Roarrrr!”
It was because when the steam from the explosion completely dispersed, the Transcendent merman played the conch shell again, and its soundwaves swept across the surface of the sea.
Then, the seawater trembled, and the sea giant, which had just been killed by a costly magic grenade, took shape in the seawater again and continued attacking the player.
“Damn it, these sea giants are all immortals!”
Dragon City didn’t have many advantages in the situation.
The sea giants’ combat ability was no higher than Extraordinary Rank-5, and they were made of water and not very solid.
They were not as strong as the soldiers in the Tiger Hunt Camp, who were all above Extraordinary Rank-5 and could destroy them easily with the items made in Dragon City.
However, the moment they were shattered, they could be resurrected under the soundwaves of the war conch.
Furthermore, if they were not completely shattered, they could easily heal their injuries by absorbing the seawater down below!
For most of the warriors of Dragon City who were below Extraordinary Rank-5, they didn’t have advantages against the sea giant, and it was hard to even destroy them once.
Moreover, there were a thousand such sea giants!
More importantly, while the Transcendent merman played the conch shell, the common Extraordinary mermaids didn’t stand idle.
“[email protected]#@*&…”
While some of the mermen continued to attack by manipulating the sea monsters with the colorful threads, the mermaids simply started to sing!
More soundwaves joined the battlefield.
However, they were not summoning the sea giants but simply attacking the warriors of Dragon City on the Black Tortoise’s back.
The mermaids were obviously similar to the mythological sirens. Their song could make whoever heard it hallucinate and be attracted to them.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
The warriors of Dragon City who had low mental power lost control in the battle and directly leaped into the water.
Then, they were ripped apart and devoured by the small sea monsters that were already waiting.
Even if the determined warriors didn’t hallucinate, they would still be disturbed and distracted while battling, and some of them were smashed into the sea by the sea giants!
Then, they were devoured by the middle and large-sized sea monsters.
“Roar!”
A tiger roar burst out.
A saber aura that was more than forty meters wide swept out.
It cut a hundred sea giants from the waist and left a layer of purple-and-blue flames, stopping them from resurrecting in this area.
Such a powerful attack could’ve only been performed by Wu Song, who had reached Transcendent Rank-2 like Lu Zhishen.
“Roarrrr!”
However, while the hundred sea giants that were executed in the area covered by hellish fire couldn’t be resurrected, as the conch shell emitted the music of flutes, another hundred sea giants emerged on the surface of the sea that didn’t have flames!
“Destroy the leader and the gang will collapse! The ‘conch shell’ is the key!”
Lu Junyi turned into a yellow qilin and raged nonstop in the seawater, destroying a hundred sea giants.
Looking at the regathering sea giants in the sea, he roared, and the armor on his body glowed and transformed into a stick that had a qilin pattern engraved on it.
Then, without hesitation, he swung the stick towards the merman who was still playing the conch shell on the surface of the sea!
Hum!
The Qilin Stick, made of Yellow Wood, expanded in size the moment Lu Junyi launched the attack, turning almost a hundred meters long.
When Dragon City advanced into the Transcendent level, it received the privilege to upgrade two resources.
One of the resources that were upgraded was the Silver Liquid, which was turned into Silver Dragon Guards, and the other was the Green Wood, which was turned into Yellow Wood.
The Qilin Mecha that Lu Junyi was wearing was exactly made of Yellow Wood, which could absorb and accumulate energy in battles. After it was transformed into the Qilin Stick, it could also change in size and shatter the enemy!
Boom!
The attack where all the energy in the battle was concentrated so far left a pit that was a hundred meters long in the seawater.
All the sea monsters within the range, which were busy mauling the victims of Dragon City who had fallen into the water, were squeezed, and they exploded into broken meat under the enormous pressure!
The Qilin Stick, which had expanded ten times in size, was pointed at the merman who was still playing the conch shell on the sea horse.
Whoosh!
However, when the stick was about to hit the target and interrupt the music that was continuously manufacturing sea giants, a mermaid, who wore colorful clothes and had magnificent breasts, appeared in the water in front of the merman. She extended her fair smooth arm and grabbed Lu Junyi’s yellow stick that had expanded dozens of times.
