Qin Feng leaped into the well.
He noticed that the well wasn’t very deep, with protruding bricks on the sides that allowed one to climb out.
But as soon as he entered the well, he had officially entered the boundary of the tomb.
——
[You have arrived at the ‘Tomb of Resentment.’ Your long-range communication is now blocked.]
——
Feng paid no attention to the message.
Upon reaching the bottom of the well, he saw a three-meter-wide passage illuminated by faint glowing stones on either side.
Remaining invisible, Feng silently advanced down the passage…
After progressing about 100 meters, he spotted a rotting, bloated creature wielding a massive machete, guarding a dilapidated door.
——
[Resentful Wraith (Lv12)]
[Grade: Gold]
——
The boss stood over two meters tall, its hulking body wielding two massive, rusted machetes. Its entire form exuded a decayed, rotten aura, like a giant pile of flesh.
This was the very gatekeeping boss that had driven An Yu and her group into retreat.
Feng assumed that they must have tried to take it down. After all, they had gold-level equipment and skills; they wouldn’t have run at first sight.
But evidently, their attempt had failed.
“Resentful Wraith…”
“I haven’t dealt with this boss much.”
“Judging by its appearance, it’s probably a high-damage physical type with large attack range.”
“And Wang Meng couldn’t tank it?”
Feng guessed that the gear and skill books he had sold to them didn’t provide much defensive power.
If Wang Meng’s defense wasn’t enough, he probably lost health too quickly under the boss’s attacks, and no matter how strong the healer was, they wouldn’t be able to keep him alive.
Of course, it wasn’t likely a one-shot kill.
Wang Meng was a **Holy Shield Warrior** now, with at least 4,000–5,000 HP.
The boss likely hit him hard enough that he lost more than half his health in one blow, and feeling he couldn’t tank it, they decided to flee…
But for Feng, there was no need to worry about whether he could tank the boss.
Because…
**“Blessed Release.”**
**“Phantom Strike.”**
Feng activated **Blessed Release**, gripping the **Plague Blade**, and burst into action!
The enormous, rotting **Resentful Wraith** was suddenly illuminated by flashes of sword light as it was struck.
-3987!
-13,555 (Weak Point Hit)!
-3987!
…
A total of nine slashes, each registering damage over the hulking wraith’s head.
Feng glanced at the numbers, slightly surprised.
“This boss has really high defense!”
“My **Stealth** skill is now at epic level, so the stealth attack damage has risen to 535, much higher than before.”
“Even when I attack a platinum-tier **Soul Purifier**, a single **Phantom Strike** can deal nearly 5,000 damage.”
“But against this big guy, I’m only hitting for less than 4,000?”
Still, it didn’t matter much.
With nearly all his skills at epic level, the combined effects were overwhelming.
Epic-level skills, when used against a gold-tier boss, were like cutting through butter.
With a single **Phantom Strike**, Feng remained invisible, retreating to a safer distance.
The boss had about 120,000 HP in total.
Before it could even finish its wild rampage, slashing blindly in all directions, the bleeding damage from **Blessed Release** triggered twice, killing the **Resentful Wraith** on the spot!
The massive rotting pile of flesh exploded in chunks, scattering across the area.
Remaining invisible, Feng stayed about 30 meters away from the boss’s corpse.
Only after about 10 seconds had passed did Feng cautiously approach…
He couldn’t help it.
After all the times he had suffered in the past, he had grown extremely cautious.
Some bosses would self-destruct after death, catching many players off guard. There were even cases where entire teams had wiped after finally killing a boss, only to be blown up by its corpse. Their hard-earned loot was then picked up by other passing players…
**“Greedy Hand.”**
Feng activated **Greedy Hand** on the **Resentful Wraith’s** corpse.
A massive golden hand emerged from the void, grasping at the scattered chunks of the wraith’s body.
Suddenly, five additional pieces of loot dropped.
Among the loot, Feng spotted seven platinum-colored items shining brightly!
To his surprise, there was even a skill book and a piece of equipment he could use.
——
[Flaming Whirlwind (Platinum)]: Assassin-type skill. Envelops blades in fire, dealing fire damage to all enemies within 5 meters. Adds 500 fire attack points. Cooldown: 6 (3.4) seconds. Level requirement: 11.
——
This was an elemental damage skill for the assassin class!
“My **Shadow** class adds 3, 3, 8, and 5 points to the four base stats.”
“My Spirit stat is even higher than my Strength.”
“So my base magic attack is already higher than my base physical attack.”
“However, the **Plague Blade** is a physical weapon, so it only adds physical attack power.”
“If I use it to cast a magic-attack skill, the damage will be lower…”
Still, since it was an initial platinum-tier skill with a high base attack, it was worth it.
“I’ll evolve it to epic level first and see.”
Feng issued the command.
——
[You have consumed 1+2+3 evolution points. You now have 36 points remaining.]
[Flaming Whirlwind (Platinum → Jade → Diamond → Epic): Deals fire damage to all enemies within 5 → 7 → 9 → 12 meters. Adds 500 → 750 → 1000 → 1300 fire attack points. Cooldown: 10 (5.7) seconds. Level requirement: 11.]
——
After evolving the skill, its range had increased from 5 meters to 12 meters—a significant transformation!
The additional attack power had also risen from 500 to 1,300.
“Since it’s an area-of-effect skill, not a single-target attack, the added damage isn’t too high.”
“A single cast still doesn’t outdamage **Phantom Strike**…”
“But it’s perfect for clearing mobs.”
**Phantom Strike** had a 5-meter attack range, but it was still a linear skill, meaning it often couldn’t clear large groups of enemies.
However, **Flaming Whirlwind** was different.
It dealt fire damage within a 12-meter radius—essentially a 24-meter-diameter circle!
If Feng had had this skill earlier, he would’ve cleared the **Soul Purification Domain** twice as fast!
After learning the new skill, Feng turned his attention to the next piece of platinum-tier assassin gear.
——
[Resentment Leather Armor (Platinum)]: Physical defense +55, all-element resistance +45. Damage block +42, HP +777. Level requirement: 12.
[Resentment]: After being attacked, gain 30 base attack power.
——
Feng finally replaced his level 5 gold-tier **Ghostfire Leather Armor**.
Though the **Resentment** special effect wasn’t particularly useful, it was better than nothing. Plus, the armor had solid base defense, resistances, and block stats.
As for the other loot dropped by the boss, there were over 20 items in total.
Selling all of them would net him over 10,000 days of lifespan!
To put it in perspective, defeating the gold-tier **Resentful Wraith** had only granted Feng a little over 1,000 days of lifespan, even with **Greedy Hand** yielding five extra drops, which totaled around 6,300 days.
“I can finally enter the tomb. Hopefully, I find something good… maybe even a mount!”
Feng approached the decayed stone door and pushed it open!
…
At the same time, back in **Shell Town**, Qin Xiaoyou had already fallen into a state of bewilderment and despair!
