A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

13: 30,000 yuan skill bookThe Dwarf Priest’s scream alerted the other five Demon Cave Dwarves, who immediately bared their fangs and lunged at Bai Tian.

Two of them were dual-wielding swordsmen, charging forward like tigers descending from a mountain.

Meanwhile, the Warlock and two Archers unleashed their skills from a distance. For a moment, fireballs and arrows streaked toward Bai Tian like flowing light.

However, Bai Tian remained as steady as Mount Tai. Under the divine skill of 20x Rebound, in less than three seconds, the two dwarf swordsmen, the Archers, and the Warlock attacking him all screamed and were bounced to death.

When only the last Dwarf Priest remained, it let out a terrified shriek and fled toward the depths of the Demon Cave without looking back.

Bai Tian was slightly stunned by this, having never expected these monsters to actually run away.

But Bai Tian wasn’t in a hurry; since he was already here, he intended to clear out this entire Demon Cave anyway.

He unhurriedly collected his loot. He knew that the drop rate for Elite-tier monsters was ten percent higher than that of ordinary monsters; even if no equipment dropped, the copper coins alone were quite substantial.

Although these copper coins were insignificant in the game, to Bai Tian, they were a precious form of wealth.

After all, every little bit adds up!

After topping up his health, Bai Tian, emboldened by his skill, walked into the dark and hollow Demon Cave Mine with firm steps.

The interior of the cave was dark and damp, and the air was mixed with a pungent, suffocating stench.

After walking for a few minutes, light began to appear ahead, and oil lamps started illuminating the dark cave walls.

The terrain of the Demon Cave spiraled downward, as if leading into a bottomless abyss.

Suddenly, a noisy commotion sounded from ahead.

Bai Tian stopped in his tracks and looked ahead warily.

He saw the Dwarf Priest that had fled earlier reappearing before him with a group of dwarves.

There were many of them, at least thirty, wielding various weapons with fierce glints in their eyes.

Among them was a mutated axe-wielding dwarf. He could be considered a giant among dwarves, standing about 1.9 meters tall with bulging arm muscles and a coarse beard. He looked as valiant as Zhang Fei among dwarves.

Bai Tian focused on checking the attributes of this mutated dwarf.

—— [Dwarf Strongman - Babata]!

(Master-tier Monster)

Level: 12

Health: 10,000

Attack: 598... ”Go, tear this reckless human adventurer to pieces.”

Following the Dwarf Strongman’s roar, all the dwarf monsters lunged at Bai Tian like a pack of wolves.

But Bai Tian was completely fearless. After taking a round of attacks, his health dropped by half.

However, seven dwarf monsters were also bounced to death.

Bai Tian immediately burned several times his mana to replenish his health in an instant.

After a brief battle, all the other dwarf monsters soon turned into experience for Bai Tian, except for that Master-tier Dwarf Strongman.

”Damnable human adventurer, the great dwarves will never compromise with you.”

The Dwarf Strongman, built like a sumo wrestler, shouldered his giant axe and activated a skill, leaping several meters high to slash a wind blade at Bai Tian.

Coming right at me! After consuming a Low-grade Mana Potion, Bai Tian didn’t even intend to dodge; he took it head-on.

Damage: -1,110!

20x Rebound: -22,200!

The Master-tier Dwarf Strongman’s health hit zero. Blood sprayed from his seven orifices as he collapsed at Bai Tian’s feet, unable to rest in peace.

—— ”Hiss!”

After taking a heavy axe blow, Bai Tian’s shoulder was also in great pain, causing him to draw in a sharp breath.

”Oh?”

Bai Tian suddenly let out a cry of pleasant surprise.

The Dwarf Strongman had dropped a skill book.

This was the first time Bai Tian had obtained a skill book, and he quickly picked it up to check it.

—— [Leap Slash] F-grade Skill!

(Consumes 50 Health. After burning blood energy, perform a forceful leaping slash to deal physical damage equal to 100% of base Attack to the target.)

(Leap Distance: 8 yards)

(CD: 12 seconds)

Learning Requirement: Warrior Level 5 or above.

This skill is pretty good; it doesn’t consume mana, only a bit of health, and it even provides a short-range displacement effect.

At that moment, a system notification suddenly rang. All the equipment Bai Tian had listed was sold out. After deducting the service fee, 1,800 yuan was credited to his account.

Bai Tian wrinkled his nose slightly. Several pieces of equipment only sold for 1,800 yuan; it seemed that low-level equipment was depreciating rapidly.

However, this skill book should sell for a surprising price.

Bai Tian remembered that Glorious World was a Warrior, and he had even spent 20,000 yuan to snatch the sharp steel sword he had put up for sale.

That guy definitely isn’t short on money; perhaps he could just ask him directly if he needs this skill book.

After all, putting it up for auction on the platform is not only slow but also incurs a service fee. Selling it directly to a wealthy boss is naturally the best choice.

While recovering his status, Bai Tian opened the friend function and found that Glorious World was indeed still online. The guy had already reached Level 8.

That leveling speed is quite fast!

But with the leveling mechanics of [Nine Heavens], the experience required for each subsequent level would skyrocket. If he wanted to reach Level 9, he wouldn’t be able to do it even if he stayed up all night.

Bai Tian was certain that he was currently the only Level 9 player on this Novice Island, and there were very few Level 8 players.

Furthermore, he would become the fastest to reach Level 10 and the first player to leave this place.

Bai Tian took a screenshot of the [Leap Slash] skill and sent it to Glorious World, saying: ”Do you want this skill?”

Glorious World replied almost instantly: ”Yes, how about I offer 30,000?”

For an early-stage low-level Warrior skill, 30,000 yuan was not a low price.

Since Bai Tian couldn’t use it anyway, he agreed: ”OK.”

Glorious World seemed very eager for the skill: ”Are you coming back to town to trade, or should I send someone to find you?”

While speaking, Glorious World had already transferred 30,000 yuan over first.

This guy trusted him so much that he paid before even getting the skill.

In fact, the reason Glorious World did this was not just because he trusted Bai Tian, but more because he was afraid Bai Tian would change his mind.

This kind of skill would be a huge boost for him in the early stages, and he needed it very much.

”I’m doing a quest and can’t return to town for now.”

Seeing Bai Tian say this, Glorious World was also a straightforward person: ”Then set a password and list this skill book for any random price; I’ll buy it instantly.”

Bai Tian: ”Okay.”

He immediately listed the skill using the password-protected viewing and selling method, setting the price at 8 yuan. Glorious World bought it instantly.

”Brilliant, thanks. If you have any more skill books or equipment to sell, regardless of the class, please contact me. I won’t let you lose out on the price.”

Bai Tian replied: ”OK.”

Having earned another 30,000 yuan all at once, Bai Tian felt wonderful. This brought his total to 71,500 yuan.

Earning over 70,000 yuan in such a short time was something Bai Tian wouldn’t have dared to imagine before.

They say women need a sense of security, but men need it too!

Money is a man’s greatest source of security and confidence.

Bai Tian happily hummed the tune of ’Sea of Stars’ as he continued to explore deeper into the Demon Cave Mine.

He would strive to finish the quest tonight and reach Level 10!
