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

35: Auction begins!Great!

There’s actually a hidden quest.

Bai Tian was overjoyed.

”Girl, your support skills are too poor.”

”Brilliant, swap to yours.”

Flowers in Full Bloom said to Brilliant.

Bai Tian nodded and immediately released the group buff [Cold Abyss Blessing] with 4 times the effect.

Of course, while it was 4 times for others, it was 8 times for Bai Tian.

Because all his buff skills, when used on himself, would double on top of the original base effect.

”Holy crap!”

”A 40% increase in attack, defense, attack speed, and movement speed, lasting for 3 minutes?”

”idol, you truly live up to being my idol.”

”With this powerful BUFF! I feel like I’m turning from a Priest into a Goddess of War.”

Frost Like Snow shouted excitedly after receiving Bai Tian’s buff skill.

Although Flowers in Full Bloom was surprised, she was somewhat prepared after watching the video of Bai Tian fighting over two hundred of Kiss Kiss Little White’s people.

In fact, they didn’t know that if Bai Tian were willing, with his current maximum mana, he could release a buff of up to 320 times.

For Bai Tian, that would be 640%.

——”Argh!”

At this time, from the palace ahead, Corpse Ghouls had already begun crawling out from the ground one after another, letting out intimidating roars.

The Corpse Ghouls looked hideous, their bodies covered in rot and emitting a foul stench, with white, fatty maggots crawling inside their chest cavities.

——[Corpse Ghoul]!

(Elite Monster)

Level: 19

HP: 38,000

Attack: 751

Dual Defense: 350

Skills: Corpse Poison, Dead Man’s BUFF (All attributes increased by 100%!)

In fact, these Level 19 Elite monsters, aside from their scary appearance, had basic attributes that could only be considered average.

But they possessed the Undead BUFF, doubling all attributes, making them no weaker than Demon-level monsters in the outside world.

In just a moment, hundreds of Corpse Ghouls crawled out from all around, converging on the location of Bai Tian and the two girls as if they had smelled the scent of living flesh.

”Girl, same as usual, hide on the altar stone.”

”Brilliant, do as you please.”

Flowers in Full Bloom was completely confident in Brilliant; she herself was like an arrow released from a bow, the cold light of her dagger flashing as she rushed toward the nearest Corpse Ghouls.

Flowers in Full Bloom was a hidden Assassin class; her attack speed was naturally beyond question, let alone with Bai Tian’s 40% buff effect.

Her blade-swinging speed reached 3 strikes per second.

Every strike was a critical hit on a weak point: -2466, -2488, -2500!

In one second, she dealt 2400+ damage to each of the three Corpse Ghouls, which was very impressive.

However, for the Corpse Ghouls with doubled attributes and 76,000 HP, this wasn’t fatal.

But Flowers in Full Bloom soon surprised Bai Tian; she actually only slashed each Corpse Ghoul once before moving on.

In just a short while, she alone had attracted over forty Corpse Ghouls into a pursuit.

Just as Bai Tian was preparing to help her with a Cold Abyss Burst,

Flowers in Full Bloom suddenly performed a stunning backward slash, a Brilliant purple light gathering on her dagger before landing on the throat of a Corpse Ghoul.

Instant Kill: -76000!

Splash effect: -76000, -76000... Bai Tian’s pupils constricted as he watched in shock; the 40+ Corpse Ghouls gathered in one place were actually instantly killed by Flowers in Full Bloom’s single strike.

Holy crap!

Isn’t this too broken?

For the first time, Bai Tian was shocked by someone else’s skill.

Immediately after, a large amount of experience points flew toward Bai Tian and Frost Like Snow in the party.

”idol! Brocade has a sharp and powerful skill that can cause an instant kill plus splash damage to non-BOSS monsters with lower Agility than her.”

”But the downside is also obvious; she can only release it once every 2 minutes.”

Her best friend Frost Like Snow directly exposed Flowers in Full Bloom’s secrets.

Instant kill with splash damage!?

That is indeed sharp!

Bai Tian clicked his tongue inwardly.

”Hmph, you talk too much.”

”Don’t just focus on the experience; keep an eye on our health.”

Flowers in Full Bloom rolled her eyes at her friend and immediately charged at the other Corpse Ghouls.

Although these Corpse Ghouls had doubled attributes, their movement speed was clearly their weakness; they walked very slowly.

After being shocked by Flowers in Full Bloom, Bai Tian also immediately joined the monster slaying.

Furthermore, inspired by Flowers in Full Bloom, Bai Tian followed suit and began pulling monsters.

He raised his hand and fired a ranged basic attack at each Corpse Ghoul.

Bai Tian’s base attack power was as high as 1216; after an 80% increase, it was 2189.

Even a single basic attack could deal 1489 damage to the double-defense Corpse Ghouls.

”Holy cow! idol’s attack is that high?”

Frost Like Snow felt like she had discovered a new world.

One had to know that even for Flowers in Full Bloom, if not for her top-tier skills, hitting weak point criticals every time and ignoring defense, she could only deal six or seven hundred damage to a Corpse Ghoul with one strike.

Yet Bai Tian, a Priest, could deal nearly 1500 damage to a Corpse Ghoul; it was simply terrifying.

While Flowers in Full Bloom was rapidly harvesting Corpse Ghouls, she also observed Bai Tian’s actions out of the corner of her eye.

She wasn’t surprised by Bai Tian’s high magic attack damage, but she was very surprised that he was copying her by pulling monsters.

Soon, Bai Tian alone had pulled the aggro of over 60 Corpse Ghouls.

The monsters here might have high attributes, but they had no intelligence whatsoever; in other words, they were stupid.

Once he had attracted over 60 Corpse Ghouls together, Bai Tian burned 6400 mana at once to activate [Cold Abyss Burst].

The initial cost of Cold Abyss Burst was 100 mana; if using Conversion to increase its power, the cost would increase geometrically with each tier.

Bai Tian currently had less than 11,000 mana; the limit for his boosted power was only 6400 mana, because if he increased it further, the next tier would require burning 12,800 mana.

——”Boom!”

The [Cold Abyss Burst], boosted several times over, condensed into a powerful energy like an ice dragon from the extreme cold air and hit the first Corpse Ghoul.

Damage: -17868!

”My god!”

”17,000 damage... idol, are you really a Priest?”

Frost Like Snow’s beautiful face was stunned with fright.

However, this wasn’t the end.

Following that, the skill caused a freeze, and with a ”boom,” an ice explosion area-of-effect damage was generated.

All 60+ Corpse Ghouls were blown away by the massive explosion.

Collective HP loss: -35736!

The visual impact of the ice explosion shocked Frost Like Snow so much that her red lips hung wide open in the shape of an egg, unable to close for a long time.

Even Flowers in Full Bloom, though it wasn’t her first time seeing this scene, was shocked once again.

The 60+ Corpse Ghouls blown away by the second ice freeze explosion were all covered in a layer of frost, with less than half their health remaining.

Their movement speed was already slow, but now they were literally crawling.

Seeing this, Flowers in Full Bloom immediately rushed over like lightning to help Bai Tian harvest the remaining health.

Even Frost Like Snow jumped down from the altar stone to help with the damage output.

She realized that with an extra Brilliant around, she had become a complete vase, useless in every way.

She might as well come down and do some damage; it was better than being an experience leech the whole time.

The 60+ nearly crippled Corpse Ghouls were finished off in just a short while.

Bai Tian’s Cold Abyss Burst had a 6-second cooldown; its sustained usage rate was far higher than Flowers in Full Bloom’s broken instant-kill splash skill.

Moreover, these Corpse Ghouls moved too slowly and looked disgusting; Bai Tian wasn’t very willing to have close contact with them and didn’t want to rely on Rebound to farm them.

He preferred handling them with ranged output!

This wave of Elite Corpse Ghouls was completely cleared by Bai Tian’s trio in less than half an hour.

This was a map with double experience and drop rates; after clearing the Corpse Ghouls, even with the experience split between 3 people, Bai Tian gained 210,000 experience, which was quite substantial.

Since the Corpse Ghouls weren’t BOSSes, everyone could go and pick up the dropped items.

The three of them cleaned up the battlefield together.

The harvest was quite impressive; there were 12 gold in game currency alone, with each of the three getting 3 gold.

There were also 7 pieces of equipment: 4 Black, 2 White, and 1 Green.

Normally, the chance of non-BOSS monsters dropping green equipment was very low.

”I’ll hold onto the equipment for now, and we can split it evenly after we’re finished, okay?”

Since none of the three could use the dropped equipment, Flowers in Full Bloom was mainly looking at Bai Tian when she said this.

Bai Tian nodded: ”Sure.”

”Hey, idol, I found something special, take a look.”

Suddenly, Frost Like Snow picked up a glowing black card from the ground and ran over excitedly.

——[Undead Pet Sealing Card]!

Durability: 10/10!

(Can be used on Level 1 Undead-type monsters, with a 35% chance to capture them and turn them into a pet egg.)

Seeing this card, Bai Tian’s eyes flickered slightly.

On the side, Flowers in Full Bloom gave her friend an annoyed look.

She thought to herself that before Brilliant came, this girl used to let her see any good drops first.

Now she was constantly trying to please Brilliant.

Truly, bros before... wait, it’s guys before girls with her!

”Good stuff!”

Bai Tian looked at the two girls excitedly and said truthfully, ”My first pet egg was obtained through this kind of card.”

Flowers in Full Bloom’s bright eyes immediately widened: ”You mean there are wild Level 1 Undead that can be captured in the Longevity Palace?”

Bai Tian nodded: ”Since such a precious card can drop here, there’s definitely a chance to encounter Level 1 Undead.”

Frost Like Snow was so excited her slender legs tensed up: ”Then aren’t we about to strike it rich?”

After taking the Sealing Card, Flowers in Full Bloom flicked her friend’s forehead with her fair finger.

”If you want to strike it rich, don’t just daydream. Let’s get moving.”

Flowers in Full Bloom took the lead and rushed ahead, but after a moment, she turned back to ask Bai Tian: ”By the way, why was your damage so high the first time you used that skill, but several times weaker when you used the same skill later?”

Bai Tian smiled bitterly: ”Sustainability isn’t enough; I don’t have enough mana to boost the skill’s power.”

Frost Like Snow immediately leaned in: ”idol, it seems you don’t have good medicine! Here, I’ll share some of my mid-grade spirit recovery pills with you.”

As she spoke, she initiated a trade with Bai Tian.

It was actually 100 mid-grade spirit recovery pills!

Bai Tian was incredibly shocked by this.

He hadn’t even refined low-grade spirit recovery pills or Golden Sore Pills yet, and they were already taking mid-grade pills. Impressive!

Flowers in Full Bloom, who was a step too slow and had also wanted to give Bai Tian pills, gnawed her teeth in frustration on the side.

”This brat, using the pills I refined to pick up men. I’m not giving you any next time.”

With the high-sustainability mid-grade spirit recovery pills, Bai Tian’s monster farming efficiency increased several times over.

Master-level Wanderers and even stronger Demon-level Ogres and other monsters were rapidly harvested by the combined efforts of Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom.

The quest that originally needed to be completed within 4 hours was finished in just 2 hours and 25 minutes due to Bai Tian’s addition.

At that moment, a golden interface prompt popped up in front of all players in the Great Xia Region.

——”(Ding-dong!)”

”(The public auction event for all players in the Great Xia Region has officially begun!)”

It’s finally starting!

Bai Tian was extremely excited, wondering how much his pet egg could sell for.

Flowers in Full Bloom and the other girl also seemed to be looking forward to this grand public auction, so they suggested taking a break to see if there was anything good in the auction.

The three of them agreed and decided to activate the next part of the quest to face the three BOSSes later, focusing all their attention on the public auction...
