"Meow!" A cat's cry rang out as the魔族 centurion Shu Heng's burly, mountain-like figure was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground. "Damned cat, you again, you damned cat!" The魔族 centurion Shu Heng scrambled to his feet, glaring fiercely at the culprit who had knocked him over. Jiang Yuan focused his gaze and saw an exceptionally beautiful Persian cat before him. The Persian cat in front of Jiang Yuan was slightly larger than an average cat, its entire body covered in a layer of silver-white fur. Interspersed within that silver-white were tiny, sparkling specks of light, as if it had draped the scattered starlight from the sky over itself. "Meow~~~ow!" The stunning Persian cat narrowed its sapphire-like eyes, staring at the魔族 centurion Shu Heng, seemingly furious at being called a "damned cat," and let out a low growl at him. Standing to the side, Jiang Yuan noticed that this strikingly beautiful cat's earlier collision had knocked off a huge chunk of the魔族 centurion Shu Heng's health bar. Now, he had less than 900,000 HP left, and judging by his expression, he seemed quite wary of the cat. "Hmph! We'll see about this!" The魔族 centurion Shu Heng shot a cautious glance at Jiang Yuan and the cat, slowly backing away a few meters. Seizing a moment when Jiang Yuan was distracted, he suddenly turned and bolted toward the distant mountains. Seeing the enemy desperately fleeing, Jiang Yuan quickly summoned five thousand Sand River Turtles, mounted one, and chased after the fleeing魔族 centurion. In just over ten seconds, Jiang Yuan had caught up to the frantic魔族 centurion on his Sand River Turtle. Thousands of Sand River Turtles attacked simultaneously, and the pitiful Shu Heng let out only a single scream before collapsing dead! "Ding! Congratulations on defeating the魔族 centurion. You have gained 50,000,000 experience points!" As a notification sounded, colorful beams of light appeared on the ground. Jiang Yuan never expected that a mere centurion of the魔族 could drop such a massive pile of items! Jiang Yuan immediately stepped forward to pick up the items. Among the multicolored beams, he spotted a red one at a glance. Picking it up, he saw it was a mythical-grade robe, and relevant information instantly appeared in his mind. [Heavenly Punishment Set: Wind Frost Snow Shadow Robe] Level: 85 Class Requirement: Summoner HP +1500 MP +1500 Defense +500 All Stats +50 Special Effect: Reduces damage taken by 10% when attacked. Special Effect: Recovers 1% MP when killing an enemy. 5-Piece Set Effect: Increases all stat enhancements by 32 points, critical hit rate by 10%, movement speed by 16%, reduces all elemental resistances of enemies within 30 meters by 44 points, reduces magic defense by 20%, increases own attack power by 18%, and increases own intelligence by 400 points when enemies are within 40 meters. "Damn, it's even a piece of a set? This set effect is like a little cow flying a plane—absolutely badass!" After checking the equipment's details, Jiang Yuan was stunned speechless. Without exaggeration, this set was the most impressive he had ever seen, bar none! "The distant mountains should be the魔族's main base. I wonder if I'll run into other centurions. If I can complete this Heavenly Punishment set, I'll really be upgrading from a peashooter to a cannon!" Jiang Yuan's gaze shifted to the faint,连绵 mountains in the distance, his eyes brimming with intense anticipation. "Meow~~" The Persian cat beside him seemed to read Jiang Yuan's thoughts. With a "whoosh," it darted in front of him and even turned back to give him a look, as if to say, "Follow me!" The Persian cat pushed off with all four paws, shooting forward like an arrow from a bow toward the distant mountains. Jiang Yuan quickly summoned a Sand River Turtle, swung onto its back, and followed. Jiang Yuan's biggest reason for daring to follow was his identity as a player. Even if he got killed, he wouldn't lose much. Currently, he was less than three levels away from level 85. If he could find another wave of corrupted monsters or other魔族 centurions, he could immediately equip that mythical Wind Frost Snow Shadow Robe. The wind howled past his ears as Jiang Yuan urged his Sand River Turtle to its limits, barely managing to keep up with the mysterious Persian cat ahead. After who knows how long, the cat with its glossy fur stopped on a small mound, sitting on its fluffy tail, staring intently ahead. Jiang Yuan panted as he caught up, coming to the cat's side and following its gaze. Ahead, there was a sunken valley with scattered tents, and several soldiers dressed as魔族 were patrolling around the perimeter. "Looks like this is the base of that centurion named Shu Heng. I wonder if there are higher-ranking officers like chiliarchs or myriarchs here." Jiang Yuan crouched slightly, quietly observing the valley. Suddenly, the Persian cat beside him let out a "meow" and nodded at him. "You can read minds?" Jiang Yuan stared in shock at the strikingly beautiful Persian cat. This was the second time it had guessed his thoughts. "Meow!" The cat nodded, giving Jiang Yuan a disdainful look, as if to say, "What's so surprising about that?" "So, what do we do now? Just charge in?" Jiang Yuan shot the cat a questioning glance, silently asking in his mind. "Meow~~ow~~" The cat nodded at Jiang Yuan, then extended a front paw, pointing at Jiang Yuan, then at the tents in the valley, as if signaling him to take the lead. "You want me to go first? Fine!" Seeing the cat's message, Jiang Yuan nodded. He wasn't afraid of being one-shotted anyway; he could just respawn and come back. But before charging in, Jiang Yuan played it safe. He opened his skill menu, learned the level 75 skill "Thunder Marsh Bull" for the Nine Spirit Summoner, and summoned it. [Jiang Yuan's Summon: Thunder Marsh Bull] HP: Defense: Attack: Duration: 60 seconds Active Skill: Lightning Strike—The Thunder Marsh Bull's horn emits several bolts of lightning, dealing 50% of its base attack damage to enemies in a fan-shaped area ahead. The level 75 summon skill for the Nine Spirit Summoner was perfect for Jiang Yuan's current situation, ideal for large-scale group battles. However, Jiang Yuan didn't summon only Thunder Marsh Bulls. Instead, he summoned 2,000 Sand River Turtles and 8,000 Thunder Marsh Bulls in a 2:8 ratio. The Sand River Turtles' taunt skill helped the Thunder Marsh Bulls gather enemies more effectively. The sudden appearance of over ten thousand summoned beasts shattered the valley's tranquility. The patrol of魔族 soldiers naturally weren't blind and immediately shouted warnings. "Trouble! Enemy attack!" In an instant, hundreds of魔族 burst out of the scattered tents in the valley. Their appearances were mostly similar, differing only in size and the ugly bumps on their foreheads. "Attack!" Jiang Yuan knew that using his summoner skills would expose him, but he remained calm and issued the attack command to his Sand River Turtles and Thunder Marsh Bulls. "Roar!" "Moo!" Deafening cries erupted, plunging the valley into chaos! Wherever the two thousand Sand River Turtles passed, the魔族 soldiers in the valley were taunted, swinging their weapons at the turtles. Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan's newly acquired Thunder Marsh Bulls stood beside the turtles, their horns crackling with blue electricity. Countless lightning bolts crisscrossed, forming a massive electric net that enveloped the entire valley. "Ding! Congratulations on defeating a魔族 soldier. You have gained 10,000,000 experience points!" "Ding! Congratulations on defeating a魔族 squad leader. You have gained 20,000,000 experience points!" Jiang Yuan's combination of Sand River Turtles and Thunder Marsh Bulls dealt massive damage to the魔族 in the valley. A series of screams echoed through the valley, while Jiang Yuan's ears were filled with system notifications! As the魔族 in the valley dwindled, Jiang Yuan's level skyrocketed, quickly reaching level 85. Without hesitation, he equipped the level 85 mythical gear—the Wind Frost Snow Shadow Robe—from his inventory. A blue-and-white glow emanated from Jiang Yuan's body. Not only did this level 85 mythical gear provide powerful stat boosts, but its appearance was also incredibly stylish. Paired with Jiang Yuan's relatively handsome features, it gave him a dashing, elegant look! "All squad leaders, gather your men immediately!" From the last few tents in the valley emerged several towering魔族 centurions. They shouted at their chaotic subordinates, and soon, the魔族 soldiers and squad leaders regrouped around the centurions, slowly recovering from the disorder. "Tear that lowly human apart!" The魔族 centurion, spotting Jiang Yuan on a nearby mound, raised his weapon and ordered his men. "Charge!" The魔族 soldiers obeyed, forming squads of ten under their squad leaders and charging madly at Jiang Yuan. "Summons, follow!" "Soul Sacrifice!" Jiang Yuan calmly activated two skills. First, he recalled all his summoned beasts from the valley back to his side. Then, he sacrificed the nearest Thunder Marsh Bull, gaining its full stats, and directed his thousands of summons to meet the charging魔族 soldiers. Notifications rang out one after another. Every魔族 soldier that charged forward became part of Jiang Yuan's experience bar, pushing his level up significantly! Just as Jiang Yuan's Sand River Turtles and Thunder Marsh Bulls were finishing off most of the charging魔族 soldiers and squad leaders, a figure suddenly appeared. Then, an overwhelming sense of fear surged within Jiang Yuan's heart!
