NOVEL NEXT Chapter 616 - 256: Level 4 Night Demon_2
This lamp clearly can’t be used during combat, but it can be used with batteries.
Wang Tao feels that it’s more appropriate to place this thing outside the base to deter Night Demons from coming in or to set up a temporary safety zone for emergencies.
The item is decent, and Wang Tao installs the batteries so it can be used in a pinch later on.
The last Loot Pack is up next.
It was from the third Blue-skinned Night Demon that Wang Tao had killed. The first Blue-skinned Night Demon dropped a "Night Demon Blade" Blueprint, and the second one dropped a "Night Demon Breastplate" Blueprint.
Wang Tao felt that this Night Demon equipment might come in a set, and sure enough!
[Obtained: Night Demon Leg Armor Blueprint x1]
[Night Demon Leg Armor Blueprint: Can be used to craft a piece of Night Demon Leg Armor. Required materials: Night Demon Lord’s Bone*10kg, Level 3 Crystal Core*1, Iron Block*20, Steel Wire*20, Nails*20, Rubber*20]
[Night Demon Leg Armor: Attributes unknown]
This time, it’s the Night Demon Leg Armor!
With this in mind, Wang Tao felt there was a very good chance that a complete set of Night Demon Equipment was within reach!
Wang Tao had enough materials on hand, so he immediately began stripping the bones from the Blue-skinned Night Demon and started crafting.
A multicolored light flashed, all the materials vanished, and a pair of black leg armor tinged with blue appeared.
[Night Demon Leg Armor]
[Level 3 (Excellence)]
[Durability +57, Defense +57]
Like the breastplate before, it looked very understated, was designed to be form-fitting, and possessed a certain toughness. Moreover, its attributes were two points higher than the previous one.
Wang Tao was already wearing the Night Demon Breastplate, and now he immediately donned the Night Demon Leg Armor.
Once on, it fit perfectly without hindering his movements. Unfortunately, no Suit Attributes appeared.
Wang Tao didn’t know if this was because they didn’t exist or if he simply didn’t have enough of the set, though he suspected the latter.
If he could encounter a few more Blue-skinned Night Demons, he might be able to complete a set! Wang Tao was looking forward to it.
By now, Yang Changhong and the others had rested enough, so Wang Tao called them upstairs.
Wang Tao naturally didn’t plan on leaving tonight, opting to rest in the Night Demon’s Nest. As people trying to survive the post-apocalyptic world, they didn’t care much about their environment as long as it was safe.
The group reached the rooftop, where they could see nothing but darkness outside, but they could still hear various roars.
Wang Tao distributed a large number of Ultraviolet illumination flares to everyone and then pulled out a military telescope he’d brought from the base.
With it, he could clearly see zombies on the street becoming more active after nightfall. Even the pouring rain couldn’t stop them from wandering around like vagabonds.
Suddenly, Wang Tao felt as though he was being watched—like something was close by on the floor below!
Startled, he looked down, but apart from a pile of Level 2 Zombies, there was nothing unusual.
"A false perception? Impossible!"
Becoming an Ability User meant he couldn’t have false perceptions unless his spirit was affected or he was caught in an illusion!
There was definitely something spying on him just now!
Wang Tao immediately maxed out his Plant Affinity and Perception Ability. They were in Wuyang City’s urban area surrounded by zombies, so caution was paramount!
And then, his expression suddenly changed.
"Something is rapidly heading this way!"
Wang Tao’s Plant Affinity had a wide range, and since there were many plants near the building, he could "see" the surroundings.
He clearly perceived something moving towards the building fast, like teleporting!
Since it wasn’t within his Perception range yet, he couldn’t judge its strength, but he could tell it wasn’t as big as the Giant Zombie he had seen earlier, which brought a sigh of relief.
As long as it wasn’t that Giant Zombie, then—wait a second!
In Wang Tao’s perceptual vision, a figure emitting a blue glow suddenly appeared!
And the glow from this figure was even stronger than that of the Blue-skinned Night Demon with a hundred thousand HP he had just killed!
"Fourth-order Monster—no, a Level 4 Night Demon, it’s coming! Quick, let’s go downstairs!"
Wang Tao immediately led the group to run down from the rooftop!
Being on the rooftop left them with no escape route in case of danger. If they faced the enemy downstairs, they could at least try to retreat upwards if the fight was going badly, buying time to think of a plan or even fleeing to the lower levels.
Reaching the 11th floor, Wang Tao quickly signaled for everyone to stop.
He lit an Ultraviolet illumination flare and tossed it toward the staircase entrance ahead.
Sizzle—
A burning sound erupted.
At that moment, everyone saw clearly what was blocking the stairwell.
A Night Demon, larger than a Blue-skinned Night Demon and adorned with black Bone Armor and white bone spikes, stood before them!
[HP: 99990/100000]
[Mana: 100000/100000]
[Grade: Level 4 - Lord]
[Awakening: Robust]
[Robust: Full-spectrum boost to all basic attributes]
A Fourth-order Night Demon with a hundred thousand HP!
An Awakening called [Robust]—it seemed like a weaker variant of [Giant]?
When Wang Tao saw these attributes, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Why had he risked venturing into the urban area in the first place? Wasn’t it to hunt down a fourth-level zombie? Preferably one with a hundred thousand HP, as more HP meant he might not be able to defeat it.
Now he had encountered just such a creature! Not only did it have a hundred thousand HP, but it was also a Night Demon with weaknesses!
