Chapter 38 Little Clam Spirit

Time passed, and it grew late into the night.

At the mountaintop camp, Zhao Weike drifted off to sleep with thoughts of besieging Lu Chaoding, while on the beach, Lu Chaoding was still sweating profusely.

He has changed his base several times, consumed a lot of healing pills, and even sought refuge in his private cave twice.

After all, there were too many night beasts, each with a large alert range and a fast respawn rate, and some even formed teams. Lu Chaoding was already very careful, but he was still ambushed several times. Once, he accidentally attacked a team of giant crabs, and as a result, he was directly faced with three giant crabs after entering the battle space.

Fortunately, Lu Chaoding has his own cave dwelling, which he can enter to take refuge in case of emergency. Overall, he has escaped danger so far in the battle.

"The nocturnal beasts on this beach seem to be of higher quality than those at Lion Cliff... Another wave of giant crabs has spawned. Oh well, time to move on again..."

Lu Chaoding was pondering silently, just about to find a less dangerous place, when he suddenly saw a black bulge appear on the sea in the distance. The bulge was like an inverted bowl, and judging by its appearance, its diameter was probably more than ten feet. It was slowly approaching the shore.

"What monster? A giant sea turtle?"

Lu Chaoding was too far away from the bulge to see its attribute information. He carefully circled around to a reef, and a minute later, the "big bulge" came ashore, and Lu Chaoding was able to see its attribute information.

[Black Clam Spirit: LV8, HP 8000, Attack 400, Resilience 40, Defense 40, Speed ​​120.]

"I thought it was a boss, but it's just a powerful clam spirit... This thing doesn't even have legs, how can it be 120 speed? That's outrageous!"

Seeing that there were no other monsters near the Black Clam Spirit, Lu Chao struck it with his sword from 40 meters away.

Upon entering the battle space, Lu Chaoding was taken aback, because he saw that in addition to a [Black Clam Spirit] the size of a jeep, there was also an 8th-level [Black Toad Spirit] that was black, the size of a calf, and shaped like an iron pot!

"Holy crap, where did this giant clam come from? It didn't even tell me we were in a party!"

Lu Chao muttered in frustration, "That [Black Clam Spirit] is small, and its stats are a bit worse than the [Black Clam Spirit]. Although it has 8000 HP, its resilience is only 3 points and its defense is only 4 points!"

"I'm going to lose blood again this time; those two monsters are too cunning!"

Lu Chao took out a Vitality Pill and swallowed it, raising his battle spirit to 10 points. After the round started, he immediately unleashed his ultimate move, Great Heavenly Dragon.

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, subdue demons and monsters!"

As Lu Chaoding shouted, a golden dragon tore through the sky, crashing headlong between the Black Toad Spirit and the Black Clam Spirit with unstoppable momentum and ferocious posture.

The dragon's roar was high-pitched, and the earth shook.

The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon burst forth from the ground again, its body coiling up and lifting the Black Toad Spirit and the Black Clam Spirit into the air. It then attacked them with its claws, causing the Black Toad Spirit and the Black Clam Spirit to fall. The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon opened its mouth and spat out lightning, blasting them back into the air.

Thus, the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon's demon-slaying ended, and it flew away, transforming back into the Commoner Sword and 32 sword shadows, returning to Lu Chao's top.

The Black Clam Spirit and the Black Toad Spirit landed, and then two cyan trident lightning bolts struck them, turning them into cyan-green pieces.

With two loud booms, the flames exploded, and the [Black Clam Spirit] and [Black Clam Spirit] caught fire, smoked, and emitted a meaty aroma.

The damage numbers then all came out of their bodies at once.

Lu Chao checked the battle log. The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon was an area attack, dealing a total of 1630 damage. The damage was split between the Black Clam Spirit and the Black Pearl Spirit, meaning each received 815 damage.

At the same time, the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon has four attacks, which respectively reduced the Black Clam Spirit and the Black Pearl Spirit by four points of resilience.

The black clam spirit wasn't very resilient, only three points, and it broke through the resilient barrier, taking 1220 points of damage!

Subsequently, the Earthly Deity Moon Shadow Azure Dragon added a Trident Lightning Strike, which damaged both the Black Clam Spirit and the Black Pearl Spirit, causing them to lose 21 HP and 10 HP respectively.

At this point, the Black Clam Spirit's 40 points of resilience were finally depleted, triggering a resilience break damage of 1220.

Next came the two fiery explosions from Tianquan and Yinghuo.

The damage from Flame Blast is calculated based on the damage received. The damage received by the [Black Toad Spirit] and the [Black Clam Spirit] is different, so the damage from Flame Blast is also different.

In the end, in this round, the Black Clam Spirit lost a total of 6456 HP, and the Black Clam Spirit lost 6334 HP, leaving them with 3544 and 2914 HP respectively.

"The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon is amazing! It can't even kill these mere clam spirits and toad spirits!"

Lu Chao shook his head, bracing himself for a beating.

He waited for about a minute before the Black Clam Spirit slowly launched its attack. It opened its shell, and a large cloud of black mist gushed out. Lu Chao was hit by the black mist, which caused him to lose a little bit of resilience and 185 points of health!

The Black Clam Spirit then attacked, spraying water at Lu Chaoding, which also reduced Lu Chaoding's health by 185 points and his tenacity by one point.

Lu Chaoding's turn begins. He attacks the Black Clam Spirit with a normal attack, followed by a barrage of sword shadows, a trident lightning strike, and a fire explosion, dealing a total of 3008 damage. The damage is excessive, and the Black Clam Spirit is killed, its body turning into light and leaving behind a small treasure chest.

Since the Black Toad Spirit was poisoned and slowed down by the Trident Lightning Strike, it was Lu Chaoding's turn next. Lu Chaoding used the combat skill "Sword Echo" and the Black Toad Spirit was also killed, dropping a small treasure chest.

At this moment, the battle ended, the battle space shattered, and the two small treasure chests automatically entered Lu Chaoding's storage space.

It's quite rare for Night Beasts to drop treasure chests, so Lu Chaoding quickly checked. The treasure chest dropped by the [Black Clam Spirit] contained 15 gold coins and a two-star material [Night Pearl], while the treasure chest dropped by the [Black Clam Spirit] contained 5 gold coins and a small clam spirit the size of a fist.

"A local deity has appeared. This little clam spirit is quite interesting. Its star rating isn't high, but it's still quite useful to me!"

Lu Chao immediately replaced the three-star [Moon Shadow Azure Dragon] with the two-star [Little Clam Spirit]. The output ability was reduced slightly, but the survivability was significantly improved.

He continued to work tirelessly, burning the midnight oil, and before he knew it, it was 5:30 a.m.

Lu Chaoding stopped hunting in the wild. He took stock of his spoils. He didn't have much gold, but he had a lot of cultivation insights and materials such as clam shells. The best loot was, of course, the Earth Deity [Little Clam Spirit].

As for his level, Lu Chaoding has now reached level 12.

Without considering equipment bonuses, its base health reaches 1420 points and its base attack power reaches 142 points.

"After level 11, the experience required to level up is too much. Even if I use up all my Qi-Nourishing Pills, I probably still won't reach level 20..."

Lu Chao sighed. He didn't plan to farm in the wild anymore. He reached out and tapped in front of him, opening the entrance to his private cave.

After entering the cave and resting briefly, Lu Chaoding left again, riding the Great Xuan Sword towards the mountaintop.

At 6 a.m., daylight began, and Lu Chaoding arrived at the summit camp on time.

Meanwhile, Zhao Weike and the others had already gotten up and were gathered around the NPC Niu Daren, clearly waiting for the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament to begin.
