Chapter 269: Torn Into Pieces

“Damn it, a hidden skill!” Lin Jie’s heart skipped a beat. Overlord Bosses would more or less have some life-saving skills, which belonged to hidden skills. If the players were attacked, the Boss would run away until their health points were returned to full.

The moment that Tiger Shark King shot out the fin, a thunder-like loud noise exploded. One could see the Tiger Shark King’s huge and flexible body splash through the water as it escaped like a cunning rabbit in the twinkling of an eye.

The Boss wanted to escape!

Several thoughts flashed in Lin Jie’s mind in a few seconds, but none of them could allow him to catch up with the Boss while staying alive, unless... Lin Jie’s palm turned over, and a black Illusionary Bullet, which was much heavier than a normal bullet, fell into his hand. This was a gift from Pleater.

“Explode!” Lin Jie lowered his body and barely dodged the fin. Then, he shot an Illusionary Bullet from his back. The bullet collided with the shark fin and exploded immediately, causing the water to be stirred violently.

-827!

A taste of sweetness was felt in Lin Jie’s throat. He just suffered from a serious injury, which reduced his health points to be less than 15%. The shark fin’s damage and the explosion of Illusionary Bullet were very powerful. If he had not avoided the shark fin’s frontal attack, he would have already been dead.

But now... The impact of the explosion was like a big hand, which explosively pushed Lin Jie towards the direction of Tiger Shark King, and allowed him to catch up with the escaping Boss in a flash! Naga’s Trident glowed in Lin Jie’s hand, and with a violent wave, it split Tiger Shark King’s back, and blood rushed out.

The Overlord was worthy of its name, its blood rushed more fiercely than those small monsters! The exhausted Tiger Shark King was still on the run, and Lin Jie followed the direction of the blood trace to continue chasing it.

As an animal overlord, Tiger Shark King was a treasure, and it was very difficult to capture it. Even if its health points dropped to zero, it could still escape using its remaining strength. If the players did not find the trophy, Tiger Shark King could revive in 24 hours with full health points.

Lin Jie pushed aside the fog-like bloodstained water and saw the dying Tiger Shark King. Its head was lying weakly on the crushed coral before it finally stopped breathing.

“If I didn’t have Naga’s Trident, it would have been useless even if I had tried my best to kill you!” Lin Jie said, gritting his teeth.

Naga’s Trident deserved the name of an epic weapon, and it was quite suitable to be a scalpel temporarily. Lin Jie then used it to cut off the sharkskin from its flesh. Although the sharkskin would be greatly damaged as he was a Battling job, there was no other way to prevent the damage in the present situation.

After all, Naga’s Trident was a piece of divine equipment in water, which allowed Lin Jie to cut off the skin easily.

Ding~

—”You received [Skin of Shark King] x 9.”

[Skin of Shark King]: Superior-grade material can be used as forging and leather core to give an additional 15 Agility points, 3% Water Absorption and 10 points of Movement Speed for the finished product.

Lin Jie opened his eyes wide. It was a superior-grade material! Its Agility, Water Absorption, and Movement Speed were the most important attributes to a Bandit. A single piece of material could provide such powerful attributes, which were no worse than Bronze equipment.

Tiger Shark King was a level 40 Gold Overlord, its skin could be used as the material of level 30-40 Leather Armor or Armor. It could drive numerous Blacksmiths and leather makers crazy if it was out in the market!

Lin Jie swallowed his saliva and stared at the Tiger Shark King in front of him. This was not a Boss, it was a golden mountain!

Ding~

—”You received [Teeth of Shark King] x 4.”

—”You received [Spine of Shark King] x 1.”

—”You received [Eye of Shark King] x 1.”

“WTF, only one eyeball? Are you one-eyed?” Lin Jie looked at the fist-sized eyeball and stuffed it into his bag. What was the use of the eyeball? Well... it was useless. But still, it was better to just keep it as NPCs or players may be interested in it.

Lin Jie complained and kept the spoils in his bag. Then, he focused on his most important task with a sneer. Which was the most well-known part of sharks? Yes, it was the shark’s fin, everyone knew it well in the real world! This was the same in the game, the fin of Tiger Shark King was famous in The New Age. It was very good for a normal noble to have the fin of a normal Tiger Shark, so how rare was the fin of Tiger Shark King?

At the Imperial City Restaurant of City of Light, any fisherman who had a small piece of Tiger Shark King’s fin would be treated as a VIP immediately. The owner of the restaurant would definitely give a generous price with a smile and buy the fin at a high price with no hesitation.

City of Light would even hold a large food festival when the materials for 100 bowls of Tiger Shark fin were gathered. Both chefs and diners were attracted here because the food was free. In addition, there were experience points, coins, and gift bags given. If one had the strength to be the judge or cook, then more superior-grade items and equipment would be given as gifts.

The reason Lin Jie was so well informed was simple. In his previous life, Qiu Yuan’s greatest regret had been that she had not won the championship of the Delicacy Competition. While her cooking skill had already been excellent, Lin Jie had been caught in the Divine Battle. Hence, Qiu Yuan had no chance to participate in the Delicacy Competition to fulfill her dream.

“According to the process of the game, the owner of Imperial City Restaurant has been collecting Tiger Shark King’s fin for several years. If adding in the shark fins I got this time, I guess it’s enough. Maybe we can have a food festival then.” Lin Jie licked his lips. “I really miss Qiu Yuan’s food.”

While recalling the various dishes made by Qiu Yuan, Lin Jie kept cutting off the delicious shark fins more steadily and kept them in his bag.

—”You received [Fin of Tiger Shark King] x 1.”

—”You received [Fin of Tiger Shark King] x 1.”

...

Ten in total!

Lin Jie laughed out loud, with these shark fins and the restaurant owner’s stock, the food festival was imminent!

Looking at the perfect shark fins, Lin Jie thought for a while and used Naga’s Trident to pierce nine of them. In the next instant, the quality dropped a lot. Then, he kept the undamaged one carefully in his bag.

Lin Jie waved his hand and brought the remaining flesh and bones with him. His bag was fully packed with materials.

“Shark blood... should be very nutritious, but it’s too hard to collect. Forget it.” Before Lin Jie left, he stared at the blood which diffused in the seawater. After a while, he came to a conclusion and left.

If the Tiger Shark King’s spirit was in heaven, it would probably die now, thinking, ‘Not only did you take away my bones, teeth, flesh, tail, eyeball, and eggs, but you also coveted my blood? Not even soldiers looted to this extent!’

Lin Jie took a deep breath but spatted, “The nice seawater and air are all ruined by the blood.”

......

The mission had been completed, and Lin Jie should go ashore to get his rewards. However, he had another important thing to do, which was to get the Gradeless Treasure Chest! Without the protection of the Boss, he had to get it quickly before other guarding monsters were spawned. Lin Jie rushed back to the place where the treasure chest lay.

The treasure chest was lying quietly on the ground with rays of light twinkling from time to time.

“Open!”

Ding!

—”You have received 15 silver coins.”

—”You have received [Torn Book].”

Lin Jie groped in the treasure chest. ‘WTF, that was all? It was a Gradeless Treasure Chest!’

This treasure chest was so trashy... Lin Jie was depressed. He floated up and popped out of the water, breathing in the air deeply.

Although Naga Trident could help him breathe underwater, it was not as comfortable as breathing real air. Lin Jie sneezed and spewed out a pinch of crystalline sea salt...

After he climbed ashore, he did not rush back to submit the mission. He took the book out and spread it on his lap to get a closer look. It seemed that the words were blurred as the book had been immersed in water for a long time.

“Eh...” a flash of inspiration struck Lin Jie. He took out [Emelia’s Tear] from his bag and dripped it on the book. The tear was like a brush, guiding all the ink, and gradually restored the book to its original condition.

These were not words... but drawings!

Ships, oceans, clouds, and seagulls could be dimly distinguished. What was strange was that this drawing could still move—the fog was blowing on the sea, clouds seemed to be pulled down, and the ships were hidden in it.

Ding~

—”You learned the sub-skill [Fog Concealment] of the Legendary skill [Illusionary Trace].”

A Legendary skill!

Lin Jie was shocked and immediately tapped on the new skill to check out its details.

[Fog Concealment]: The pirates who fight in the fog all year round can use the fog to arm themselves to the greatest possible extent.

Passive effect: When you are moving in the fog, there are a +10 in Night View, +10 in concealment, and a 10% increase in Critical Hit.

Active effect: You can hide in the fog so that the target cannot notice you. This effect will be lost after you leave the fog. When you make an attack, you cannot use Stealth mode within 2 seconds. The effect can last for a consecutive 30 seconds and have a cooldown of 2 minutes.

“What a Legendary skill!” Lin Jie was overjoyed. It was only the sub-skill of a Legendary skill, and was much better than Wolf Soul Necklace! It had a full 10 points of Night View and also increased 10 points of concealment.

Concealment was an exclusive attribute for Bandits, its main function was to increase stealth effect and reduce the probability of being discovered. 10 points of concealment were the maximum value a level 30 Bandit could get when they were not equipped with any equipment.

Not to mention that he could get ‘stealth mode’ in the fog! This could raise Lin Jie’s combat diversity by several times.

Lin Jie noticed the skill description—pirates! This meant that Illusionary Trace was a pirate’s skill, and thinking about it carefully, only a job which depended on robbery would need such a skill.

Lin Jie did not know much about Illusionary Trace as in his previous life, his activities had been mainly focused on the mainland. However, more or less, he had heard the rumor that this had been a pirate’s unique skill. It was said that a powerful pirate could hide the entire fleet using Illusionary Trace, and assault invincibly!

With this kind of skill, which could be used to attack, defend, or even stalk, the pirates could not possibly be captured.

What’s more surprising was that after Lin Jie had learned [Fog Concealment], the book turned slowly into a [Illusionary Trace Spell Scroll].

Its effect? The user could use ‘Illusionary Trace’ once!
