Chapter 28

The wrist guard is a very practical item for outdoor adventures, but unfortunately, it needs to be frequently returned to the Temple of Tyr to replenish its divine energy. After all, it’s unlikely that I will believe in the old stubborn god of justice in the future, Fang Yi thought.

Fang Yi didn’t dare to delay. He shook his hand to dispel the soreness and stiffness, and as he cast the Gathering Skill, he reached out to touch the body of the dog demon. In his hand, he found the sticky dog demon saliva and a gray-black chain-like object.

System notification: You have obtained Dog Demon Saliva, Dog Demon Teeth (2), and the Omnivore’s Chain.

After a series of battles, Fang Yi had only a dozen points of magic left. When this magic was exhausted, the Appraisal Skill, which costs one magic point per use, failed to work. Fang Yi had to drink a minor mana potion to finally appraise the item successfully.

Omnivore’s Chain (Fine Chainmail Wrist Guard)

Medium Armor

Equipment Requirement: Strength 13

Weight: 6

Durability: 17+13

Armor: 19+5

Gulun: Passive effect, when you successfully parry an enemy's attack (melee or ranged), the residual soul of the dog demon on the wrist guard will instinctively bite the target. There is a certain chance (the Block skill can increase this chance) to devour the damage and convert it at a 3:1 ratio into durability loss for the Omnivore’s Chain. The maximum damage absorbed each time is 6 points, and the effect cannot be triggered again within 15 seconds after it is activated.

The Gulun effect cannot be triggered when the wrist guard’s durability is 1 or less.

The Omnivore’s Chain will recover durability at a rate of 5 points per minute.

“Delicious!”

What an awesome passive skill! Unfortunately, it’s chainmail... Fang Yi clicked his tongue regretfully.

At the current level, few bosses have an attack power that breaks 100. This item is a great way to stabilize health, a premium item for warriors and knights. Fang Yi looked at his hands, covered in dog demon saliva, and wondered if he would also get red hands from spending too much time with the Black Mountain Imp. Although he could equip it now, the chainmail jingled annoyingly, greatly affecting his stealth. He decided to ask the Black Mountain Imp if she wanted it tomorrow. She didn’t seem to be short of money, hahaha, profit!

In the dark wine cellar, eerie laughter echoed, which a passing player heard, making their heart race. The next day, a highly clicked post appeared on the player forum:

Quest or Monster? What I Saw and Heard by a Small River in Tashil!

Although in a great mood, Fang Yi had to wait a few minutes for his health to naturally recover (health only regenerates automatically in main cities and temples). The game’s health potions are designed for life-saving in emergencies. If you want to use a second potion of the same type in a battle, sorry, wait 15 minutes.

At this moment, Fang Yi suddenly remembered that after level 10, players can go to any city’s Lathander Temple to accept the “Battle Bandage” skill quest. The bandage has a 5-minute cooldown and provides a significant amount of health recovery, making it a must-learn skill for combat classes. There are also skills for rogues at level 10, as well as the ability to learn cooking and fishing as secondary professions, and the Backpack Expansion quest...

Looking at the nearly full experience bar, Fang Yi roughly calculated and found that there were indeed many things to do after level 10.

His health had recovered to more than 30%, and Fang Yi didn’t want to waste time. He got up and began searching the wine cellar. The entire underground space was covered in dust, and a foul smell filled the air. In the corner, several skeletons clearly showed signs of being gnawed by beasts. Thinking about the dog demon’s habit of gnawing on corpses to restore health, Fang Yi got goosebumps.

After circling around, he didn’t find anything special. However, the always active Investigation Skill came in handy. Just as he was about to leave the wine cellar, he noticed a faint metallic glint in the southeast corner.

Fang Yi rushed to the corner as if he had discovered a new continent. From a distance of ten feet, he could clearly see the shiny object: a one-foot-square iron treasure chest lay quietly in the corner, with a smooth, curved lid and a silver-white lock that glinted enticingly.

When he first entered the wine cellar, he had carefully examined every corner and was 100% sure there was no treasure chest here. Could it be related to the dog demon he killed? Fang Yi’s heart raced again, hahaha.

Checking the time, he saw that he had less than half an hour before forced logout. He wasn’t sure if he had enough time. Fang Yi carefully approached the treasure chest, brushed away the dust on the ground, and carefully examined the seams in the stone floor. He then studied the ceiling above the chest for a long time.

If the system spawned a treasure chest without any traps or monsters, Fang Yi would feel it was an insult to the rarity of treasure chests in "Miracle." This chest was likely a bonus for the high difficulty of the spawned monsters. It was extremely difficult to find a treasure chest like in the early days of the game.

Fang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that he should buy a set of trap-disarming tools when he had money. Disarming traps by hand was exciting, but in reality, it was pure torture.

A Flame Burst Trap on the treasure chest was enough to clear Fang Yi’s current meager health twice. He steadied himself, ready to disarm the trap, when he suddenly heard a few clear bell sounds from the wine cellar entrance. The person reacted quickly, and the bell sounds immediately stopped. Fang Yi narrowed his eyes, carefully withdrew his hands from the trap, and immediately took a medium health potion (+20 health) and a small stamina potion. His figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.

Additional data on the monster the protagonist encountered:

The dog demon Fang Yi encountered was part of a hidden quest, with increased difficulty. The system defaults to the dog demon having successfully consumed 2 targets, making its actual strength a Challenge Rating of 8 with 26 additional hit points.
