God-level Hero-Chapter 397 - 369: Slaying the King Giant Lizard

Da Fei fled hurriedly from the poisonous area of the snake-necked dragon with less than 30 life points remaining. At this moment, a giant crocodile had already engaged with the snake-necked dragon, turning the lake’s waters turbulent from their colossal BOSS battle.

Da Fei, feeling a lingering fear, let out a long sigh of relief. The sensation of narrowly escaping death was truly wonderful! In short, as long as I don’t die, anything is possible!

Da Fei collected himself and began assessing the surrounding situation. The giant lizard and Little Fei were already too far for him to catch up, not to mention that with only 30 life points left, he dared not pursue them. However, it was highly likely that Little Fei’s chase would fail, so it was best to prepare for the worst outcome.

Then Da Fei turned his gaze to the fight between the two giant beasts. It was evident that the crocodile was in terrible condition after just recovering from a petrified state. The fight was evenly matched, which was, ideally, the scenario of two BOSSes fighting to the death, awaiting the player’s final blow to finish them off.

Okay! Let’s do this again! If the previous failure was due to my luck, then I would be regretful for a lifetime. If I fail again, it would definitely indicate a lack of strength, and there would be nothing more to regret, naturally freeing my mind. If it succeeds, even better!

With a plan formed, Da Fei quietly swam back to the bushes where the crossbow cannon was and quietly watched the fight. Of course, Da Fei hadn’t completely given up hope on Little Fei’s side. Under the shared vision in the small window, Da Fei multitasked, overseeing everything.

At this time, the giant lizard on Little Fei’s side was still swimming underwater, and the trail of blood it left behind gradually faded. Evidently, its self-healing ability began stabilizing its injuries, making Little Fei’s hope of killing it even slimmer. Da Fei sighed inwardly, deciding to make a final attempt when the giant lizard came ashore, regardless of whether it succeeded or not.

Just then, a golden flash suddenly appeared on Little Fei’s radar screen!

Da Fei was startled, a golden flash? Treasure! Get closer and take a look!

There was another golden flash! He saw it, on an island littered with bones and overgrown with shrubs, a branch glowed with a green radiance, bearing a fruit that shimmered with green light!

Da Fei’s eyebrows raised. A fruit emanating golden light? Is it a god-level herb?

At that moment, the swimming giant lizard was also heading towards that island! Da Fei instantly understood, isn’t it obvious? The layout of bone-covered ground on this island was the nest of the King Giant Lizard, correct? And surely, this fruit was the god-level herb guarded by the BOSS?

Just then, the giant lizard swimming in the water suddenly accelerated, breaking through the water’s surface onto the island with incredible speed!

Damn, it’s finally out of the water! I’m going to kill you!

Wait! Isn’t it heading straight for that fruit? That is to say, it wants to eat the fruit to heal! Damn it! How can I let you heal?

Attack! Attack that branch! Attack that fruit! Just then, a "Pick Up" icon flashed on Little Fei’s control panel!

——System Prompt: Your reconnaissance eagle, Little Fei, discovered the precious herb "Grade 3 World Tree Fruit." Would you like to pick it up?

——World Tree Fruit: A rare herb that formed from the essence of the World Tree’s divine power over long ages. After consumption, it can enhance the potential of players and biological troops.

Da Fei was in shock! World Tree Fruit! The legendary Immortal Fruit that instantly restores full health and mana while resurrecting at the current location, nurturing elite troops! Even the highest-end players during the open beta encountered no more than the lowest quality, grade 5, by market commodity quality standards. What does grade 3 mean, exactly?

Moreover, a reconnaissance eagle can also pick herbs and items? Damn, if an eagle catching chickens is possible, why not herb-picking? So, reconnaissance eagles also have this operational command! I was already used to the setting that items automatically flew into my inventory after a battle!

In a moment of ecstasy, Da Fei confirmed immediately!

In an instant, Little Fei swooped down, grabbing the fruit with its claws and soaring upwards! Got it, with ease, such a stunning and exquisite arc! Wahaha!

——System Prompt: Your reconnaissance eagle, Little Fei, obtained the rare herb "Grade 3 World Tree Fruit." You can choose to consume it to enhance Little Fei’s potential and restore the current state, or bring the herb back to your side. The reconnaissance eagle cannot fight while holding the item!

Unable to fight while holding items? Damn! I finally understand what the second skill I should teach Little Fei is: Space Bag—if such a skill exists! Wait, it seems like the Lord System skill "Armed Forces" can add an equipment slot to troops; can it affect Little Fei?

Of course, now wasn’t the time for thinking about this. At this moment, the empty-handed King Giant Lizard seemed drained of all strength, tremored all over, and emitted weak despairing howls towards the sky!

Da Fei finally realized that its trail of blood earlier hadn’t faded because of some powerful self-healing ability, but because its blood was nearly drained, and it was truly going to die! Crocodiles and sharks have infamous signature skills where bleeding cannot be stopped, like Tear Strike! Once bitten by them, they can ignore you and seek new targets, waiting for you to bleed to death! And the effect of the demi-god-level crocodile’s Tear Strike is beyond imagination!

That sudden burst of speed was its dying attempt! I can kill it! I really can!

Ha ha! Wahahaha! In a surge of fervor, flames of excitement ignited in Da Fei’s chest! Of course, eat the Immortal Fruit to increase potential, then free up the claws to kill it! Killing two birds with one stone!!!

——System Prompt: Your reconnaissance eagle, Little Fei, consumed the Grade 3 World Tree Fruit, restoring to full status, gaining potential growth, and acquired a temporary effect of restoring 3% life and stamina per second, lasting for one game day.

Ha ha! Wahahaha! If not now, then when should I act—Dive!

Little Fei transformed into a streak of blood light descending from the sky—Bam! Blood and flesh flew everywhere! "-40!"

Continue! Grab! Grab hard!

"-13" "-12" "-14"...

The King Giant Lizard at this time had no strength to resist, nor any strength to howl. This time, it had no chance of recovery. Amidst his ecstatic joy, Da Fei couldn’t help but sympathetically shake his head and sigh, "Giant lizard buddy, your mistake was challenging the giant crocodile buddy, you cannot blame me!"

At this moment, each of Little Fei’s attacks tugged at Da Fei’s heartstrings with every beat! How far would Little Fei grow in this kill?

Excitement, agitation, anxiety—all were finally resolved when the King Giant Lizard met its silent demise!

Golden light descended from the sky! The heavenly sound of the system prompt arrived as expected!

——System Prompt: Your reconnaissance eagle, Little Fei, independently defeated the powerful creature "Petrified Giant Lizard King," activated its inner potential, achieved a leap-level growth, and became a leader-level creature! Attack +15, Defense +5, Damage +5, Attack Speed +2, Health +50, Stamina +50, gained All Magic Resistance +30%, acquired a leader-level exclusive space slot, can store 1 unit of resource or 1 piece of equipment. Gained new special skill: Fierce Bird Pressure. Acquired spoils of war: Petrified Heart.

——Growing Reconnaissance Spiritual Eagle (Little Fei): Small-sized spirit leader creature, Attack 30, Defense 10, Damage 10-11, Health 99, Mana 35, Attack Speed: 18, Magic Resistance 30%, Command Value: 0, Stamina: 133/133. Special Skills: Flying Creature, God-level Reconnaissance Skill, Plane Surveillance, Long Sky Eagle Strike, Glide, Dive, Fierce Bird Pressure. Growth Skill Points: 3 points. 1 Space Item Bar.

——Fierce Bird Pressure: Increases damage to non-elite avian creatures by 50% and reduces their attack speed by 10%. This skill effect strengthens with the power of the leader creature.

——Petrified Heart: The essence of the King Giant Lizard’s power. Upon use by player heroes, provides Mana +100 and gains the rare spell "Petrification Aura." Upgrading the Giant Lizard Barracks with this item gives a chance to train mutant troops capable of casting the Petrification Aura, possessing the potential to become elite.

——Petrification Aura: Activating this spell forms a field with a 10-meter radius, reducing the move speed and attack speed of enemies within by 10% and with a chance to petrify them. Each second the spell is active consumes 2 points of Mana. This skill effect enhances with the caster’s level improvement.

...

Da Fei widened his eyes, meticulously reading through the system information twice with an impatient heart full of fervor and excitement!

A leader-level creature! Little Fei evolved directly into a BOSS! The system specially mentioned being in an independent assault; it means that Little Fei grows easier that way! It undoubtedly owed much to the World Tree Fruit, in short, the flowers of the greenhouse don’t grow into towering oaks! I understand; the giant lizard was wise to run, wise indeed! Wahahaha!

After becoming a BOSS, obtaining a space bag was inevitable. I was just fretting over where Little Fei would put items if found, and now with this upgrade, what was missing arrived just in time! Wahahaha, just right for taking this spoil back home!

And let’s see this spoil, the legendary rare magic! It can be self-used or utilized as material, without any prerequisite for learning magic! Awesome! Really awesome beyond explanation, befitting of divine skill dropped by a major BOSS!

Yes, divine skill? Exactly! I’m currently lacking divine skill—no, it’s Little Fei who lacks it! No matter how awesome this skill is, as the leader of an entire army, I still have the issue of lacking health. It’s not likely that I’ll head to the frontline to petrify the enemy, right? Can Little Fei learn it? More importantly, would it be useful if learned?

Useful! Fierce Bird Pressure plus Petrification Aura, it would be incredibly useful for taking down small birds! As a Flying Eagle, its value was inherently about securing air dominance, wasn’t it? Before learning this, it was for one to hold off thousands, afterward, one against countless!

Moreover, the Petrified Heart was entirely earned from Little Fei’s isolated assault. As its proud parent, what reason do I have to take away my child’s rewards? With my current joyous mood, let’s learn it!

——System Prompt: Are you sure you want to let your reconnaissance spiritual eagle, Little Fei, use the "Petrified Heart"? This will consume 1 of Little Fei’s growth skill points.

It can truly be learned! Wahahaha! Confirm!

——System Prompt: You expended 1 City Lord Skill Point of the reconnaissance spirit eagle, Little Fei, using the Petrified Heart, Little Fei gained Mana +100 and learned a new special skill: Petrification Aura!

Ha ha! My Little Fei finally possesses a divine skill! Wahahaha! (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, feel free to visit Qidian.com to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
