"Stop!" Lin Tianze and the others ran over, but Jiang Chen stopped them.
"Don't come any closer, the ground here is poisonous."
Jiang Chen pointed to the ground, and Lin Tianze and the others realized that this land was different from other places.
Its color is darker, exhibiting an eerie green hue.
Upon closer inspection, one can also see some toxic fumes swirling around.
This place is contaminated by the toxins of the Earth Dragon God and will remain a highly poisonous land for a long time.
Jiang Chen's skeletal armor emitted a faint glow, protecting him as he left the dangerous place. Lin Tianze and the others also circled around.
"Junior, thank you!" Lin Tianze expressed his gratitude. If it weren't for Jiang Chen, they might have already lost their lives.
Jiang Chen shook his head. "No need to thank me. If you hadn't come back, this wouldn't have happened."
Lin Tianze's return from his adventure earned Jiang Chen a new appreciation for them.
Although there were some disagreements before, at least now it seems that these senior students are quite good.
Jiang Chen participated in the entire battle against the Earth Dragon God, consuming a large amount of his mental energy.
In addition, his skeleton army lost 168 skeleton warriors and 18 skeleton mages.
This battle nearly wiped out half of the undead army, causing considerable damage, and they need to be replenished.
Jiang Chen walked out of the poisonous land and found a flat spot to sit down. Two skeletons stood on either side of him, and he closed his eyes, quickly entering a meditative state.
This is also a form of spiritual practice: quickly meditating after a battle to restore one's energy and not waste any time.
This can greatly enhance one's ability to sustain combat.
A dozen minutes later, Jiang Chen woke up, his mental strength fully restored.
He glanced at Lin Tianze and the others.
They didn't come over; instead, they were studying something with the Earth Dragon God.
It seems they even used weapons.
Jiang Chen summoned skeleton warriors one after another.
With the title active, summoning a skeleton warrior only requires 500 points of spirit.
Jiang Chen summoned 20 in one go, then began to meditate. He maintained more than half of his mental energy throughout.
This process was repeated, and in less than two hours, the skeleton warriors were fully replenished.
Next, we need to add a skeleton mage.
The firelight came into view, followed by a strange aroma of meat.
Jiang Chen turned his head and saw that not far away, Lin Tianze and the others had set up a fire and were roasting meat.
The meat being roasted was unmistakably that of the dragon god, Chulong.
When Lin Tianze saw Jiang Chen wake up, he said, "Junior, come and have something to eat with us."
Jiang Chen did not refuse and accepted the roasted meat that Lin Tianze handed over.
The skeletal armor did not react, indicating that the flesh was not poisonous.
After taking a bite, the roasted meat was exceptionally delicious.
Moreover, it possesses a strange energy. Jiang Chen could feel his mental energy becoming more active.
This feeling is similar to that of eating a desert fruit.
It was stunned. How could this be?
I tried to summon a skeleton mage, which consumed 1500 points of mental energy.
At the same time, he took another bite of meat.
Sure enough, his mental energy recovered at an extremely fast pace.
The effect is even better than that of the desert fruit.
Jiang Chen asked, "What kind of meat is this?"
Lin Tianze said, "This is the leg meat of the Earth Touch Dragon God, the meat of a world BOSS. It is a very good treasure for restoring mental strength and healing injuries."
Jiang Chen looked at the Earth Touch Dragon God.
Its body is still there.
Unlike the boss in the dungeon, its corpse remains for a long time after death. However, its legs were missing, clearly having been removed by Lin Tianze and his group.
When Lin Tianze saw Jiang Chen looking over, he chuckled and took out a large box.
The box was made of ice and was hissing as it emitted cold air.
The box was filled with white leg meat.
Surprisingly, the Earth Dragon God, whose entire body was poisonous, had white, jade-like flesh on his legs, which looked quite delicious.
Lin Tianze said, "Half of the leg meat is here."
Jiang Chen accepted it without any hesitation.
Although Lin Tianze and his group retrieved the meat, they killed the BOSS themselves, so they should rightfully have a share.
Lin Tianze gave it to him as a matter of course, and Jiang Chen accepted it without a second thought.
"Thank you. This is for you."
Jiang Chen tossed a piece of equipment to Lin Tianze.
The Dragon God Robe comes with a built-in poison gas shield skill. The robe itself has a skill and very high attributes, making it a top-tier platinum-level item.
It was much better than what Lin Tianze was wearing.
Lin Tianze was somewhat flattered and said, "I can't accept this."
Jiang Chen shook his head, "We're all from Shenlong University, no need to be so polite."
He continued eating the roasted meat, which caused his mental energy to recover at an astonishing rate.
Jiang Chen summoned skeleton mages one after another.
After the 18 skeleton mages were replenished, Jiang Chen had finished eating all the roasted meat in his hands.
He felt a fullness in his stomach; he was done eating.
If I keep eating, I probably won't be able to fit much more in.
"It seems to be a bit different from the Desert Fruit."
Jiang Chen seemed to be deep in thought.
Desert fruits are not filling; no matter how many you eat, they're consumed before they even reach your stomach. While boss meat is more effective, you can't eat much of it.
If you want to quickly improve your skills, the Desert Fruit is still undoubtedly the number one divine item.
Thinking of the desert fruit, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a faint sense of nausea.
There's no way around it, the shadow is too deep.
Since we won't be able to get the Desert Fruit anymore, the leg meat of the Earth-Touching Dragon God is a kind of extra supplement, better than nothing.
"Do other world bosses have the same effect on their flesh?" Jiang Chen asked.
Lin Tianze nodded, "Pretty much, usually they do. If it's a BOSS that's more mentally focused, their flesh and blood will have a more noticeable effect on restoring mental energy."
The Earth-Touching Dragon God has fairly balanced attributes, and its effectiveness would be even better if a world boss with a spirit attribute could be found.
However… Jiang Chen thought about it and decided against it. A boss like the Earth Touch Dragon God was not easy to deal with.
It was just unlucky to encounter an enemy like itself that wasn't afraid of poison.
He was then beaten to death.
If it were a team of professionals like Lin Tianze, they would have to completely overwhelm them with their level.
Otherwise, no matter how many people there are, it's useless; a cloud of poisonous fog could probably kill half of them.
After eating and drinking my fill, my mental energy was fully restored.
Take out the poison crystal and the fire crystal and put them together...
With a slight movement of his mental energy, he used it as a bridge to connect the two crystals together.
Two crystals, one red and one green, emitted a faint glow at the same time, merging together like flowing water.
Half a minute later, a brand new item appeared in Jiang Chen's hand.
The Elemental Stone transformed into a hexagonal gem, one half glowing with fiery red light and the other with green, poisonous elemental light.
The two are clearly distinct and do not interfere with each other, yet they are interdependent and in perfect balance.
"Elemental Stones (Fire, Poison): Used during the third job advancement to increase the chance of job advancement by 5%."
The elemental stone, formed by fusing the two elements, only increases the chance of job advancement by 5%, which is not considered high.
Only when more elements are combined can the odds be further increased.
After putting away the elemental divine stone, Jiang Chen took out the highly poisonous gem.
Before using it, Jiang Chen summoned an undead legion to guard it.
He then donned another layer of skeletal armor for himself.
He had no idea how long it would take to use the poisonous gem or what would happen.
Safety first.
Mental energy activates the highly poisonous gem.
The highly poisonous gem exploded instantly, turning into a layer of green mist that enveloped Jiang Chen.
The fact that the skeletal armor was not activated indicates that the green mist is harmless.
The green mist swirled around Jiang Chen, emitting a faint glow, somewhat similar to the effect of using a skill scroll.
The green light grew stronger and stronger, turning the surroundings green as well.
Lin Tianze and the others watched with curiosity.
"Captain, what is he doing?"
Lin Tianze watched for a while, then pondered, "He must be using a highly poisonous gemstone."
The Poisonous Gem is a special item dropped by the Earth-Touching Dragon God.
Lin Tianze was not clear about its specific function; in fact, very few people knew.
The Earth Dragon God is difficult to kill; it often takes many, many years before it can be killed.
We know how much time has passed since the last time the Earth Dragon God was killed.
Having used a highly poisonous gem, my attributes have changed, reducing my damage to poison elements by 50%.
This results in a 50% reduction in final damage, plus elemental resistance now provides 4x damage reduction.
The damage reduction against poison elements has reached 8 times.
The green light continued, growing stronger and stronger.
A few minutes later, Jiang Chen saw a green halo spreading outwards from within the green light.
It swept across a vast area of several thousand meters in an instant.
The area swept by the green halo instantly became rotten.
Vast areas were turned into dead zones. Poison, an incredibly potent poison!
"Gained skill: Poisonous Star Ring (Level 1)".
"Poisonous Star Ring (Level 1): Creates poison damage within a 1-meter radius, dealing damage equal to 10 points of Strength per second for 1 seconds."
Jiang Chen's eyes shone with joy.
I never expected to actually master a new skill.
The Poisonous Star Ring doesn't seem very strong at level 1.
Even with a 40x amplification, which is within a 40-meter range, it deals 400 points of damage per second for 40 seconds.
It's not as satisfying as having a skeleton warrior go up and slash you; the damage is dozens of times higher.
But if the level increases...
That would cause tremendous damage.
As he acquired the skill, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh. Time to practice skills again!
The shadow of the desert fruit loomed over Jiang Chen once more, and he felt a wave of nausea wash over him…
