Chapter 880: Chapter 881: Gathering_1

Thousand Swords Art

Over forty spirit swords flew towards the poison spider, which seemed to sense something and emitted a piercing shriek. It opened its mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of venom;

Just as the venom collided with the countless spirit swords, the swords in mid-air, as if possessing their own consciousness, all changed direction in the air, tracing an arc, and continued to slash towards the poison spider;

Boom, boom, boom~

The spirit swords struck the poison spider’s body, splashing blood everywhere;

“Squeak~”

The poison spider’s body was left with dozens of sword marks, each over half a foot long, continuously oozing blood. Such wounds resembled being sliced by a thousand knives, causing the poison spider’s body to twitch uncontrollably and let out bursts of agonizing howls;

Puff, puff, puff, puff~

The severely injured poison spider had less than a thousand vitality points left, almost on the verge of death; it couldn’t even stand up. But at its tail end, with each contraction, it continuously laid fist-sized spider egg sacs;

These white egg sacs would explode upon contact with the air, and young spiders would crawl out. In no time, a large number of spiderlings surrounded the grievously injured poison spider;

These spiderlings were only level one, with just one hundred vitality points. Song Jian didn’t understand what use there could be in having so many such weak spiderlings;

With each spiderling born, the poison spider lost a point of vitality. Before long, it had lost over a hundred vitality points, and the number of spiderlings around it had grown to over a hundred;

Lying on the ground, the Swamp Poison Spider BOSS’s compound eyes showed a light of hatred. After a loud cry, the spiderlings rushed towards Song Jian like a flood;

Five Elements Sword Array!

Song Jian threw the Sky-breaking Sword into the air, where it split into five and turned into a grey fog of swords, enveloping all the spiderlings;

Boom, boom, boom~

The long swords not only struck these spiderlings, but to his surprise, the spiderlings could self-destruct. Once killed, their bodies burst open, like little bombs.

The Five Elements Sword Array Space lasted for less than three seconds before it was blown apart, and Song Jian spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes revealing an expression of disbelief.

The explosion had caused enormous damage to the Sword Array Space; his spirit points plummeted instantly, not leaving him any chance to use replenishing potions.

Without spirit points, the Sword Array Space could no longer be maintained and directly collapsed, and Song Jian also suffered backlash from the destruction of the sword formation, spewing out a mouthful of blood;

Seeing dozens more spiderlings crazily rushing towards him, Song Jian’s expression changed slightly, and he spread his steel wings, flying into the midair.

These little spiders didn’t have the ability to fly, each of them gathering under Song Jian’s feet, continuously emitting sharp screams;

Glancing at the dying Swamp Poison Spider, Song Jian controlled the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand to slash fiercely at it;

After mastering the Sword Control Skill, Song Jian found that he had become even more adept at handling long swords. The Sky-breaking Sword felt like an extension of his own arm, and when he used it for long-range attacks, there was no cost at all. As long as he could sense it, that was within the strike range of the Sky-breaking Sword;

With less than a thousand Vitality Points left, they were taken by the Sky-breaking Sword. The Swamp Poison Spider let out a pitiful scream, its raised front half crashing down. A white, semi-transparent shadow seemed to float out from its corpse and was absorbed into an unknown space.

Song Jian could feel that this was the soul energy of the Swamp Poison Spider, absorbed by his shattered Divine Country, becoming the energy to repair the Divine Country.

Song Jian saw that next to the corpse of the Swamp Poison Spider, a purple grass had broken through the soil. It rapidly grew at a visible speed, and in no time, the purple grass had grown over half a foot tall, swaying in the wind. Meanwhile, the body of the Swamp Poison Spider looked as though it had been drained of all its flesh and turned into a thin, dried-up leather;

“Is this the ‘Heart Speech Grass’ the old dwarf mentioned? It doesn’t seem like it grew in the swamp, but rather burst out from the BOSS’s corpse. Could it be that these Heart Speech Grasses all grow inside BOSSes?” Shaking his head, Song Jian discarded the thought and turned his attention to the group of self-exploding little spiders;

Even after the death of the Swamp Poison Spider, the little spiders did not disperse and were still eyeing Song Jian. The cooldown time for the Thousand Swords Art had elapsed, so Song Jian cast the Thousand Swords Art right away, summoning Spirit Swords to wipe out all these little spiders;

Boom, boom, boom~

The intense explosions flung all the nearby swamp mud into the air, creating a crater over three meters in diameter, but soon, the surrounding mud gathered back together, and the crater turned back into a swampy pit;

Soul energy was collected by Song Jian; the flesh became the nutrient for cultivating the Heart Speech Grass. As a result, the level 45 elite BOSS Swamp Poison Spider had only dropped one piece of green-quality crafting material, an Explosive Poison Sac, which was an ingredient required for a branch of Alchemy, poison-making, valued at two hundred Doomsday Coins;

“A level 45 elite BOSS, and in the end, it only dropped a piece of material worth two hundred Doomsday Coins. I’m afraid no one would believe this if it were told!” muttered Song Jian while collecting the Heart Speech Grass;

Because he had accepted a gathering quest, collecting the Heart Speech Grass didn’t require a high level of the Medicine Gathering Skill, so Song Jian was able to gather a complete stalk of Heart Speech Grass smoothly.

This grass was dark purple all over and emitted a faint fragrance that was refreshing and seemed to relax the soul;

After storing the Heart Speech Grass in his bag, Song Jian continued to explore deeper into the swamp;

This swamp was teeming with not only bizarre creatures but also various undead and earth elemental monsters, most of which were level 40 or above.

If it weren’t for the pervasive corrosive miasma and poison fog, this would be a decent spot for grinding. Unfortunately, after exploring the area for over an hour, Song Jian hadn’t encountered a single player;

Song Jian had killed seven or eight elites above level 40, and he’d gathered nine stalks of Heart Speech Grass. These grasses only emerged after the BOSSes were slain; it seemed as if where a BOSS died, there a Heart Speech Grass would grow, and their development was all by drawing nutrients from the corpses of the BOSSes. Not only flesh-and-blood creatures but even the undead and earth element BOSSes, upon death, had their remains absorbed as nutrients by the Heart Speech Grass;

Looking at the nine stalks of Heart Speech Grass in his bag, radiating a dim purple light, Song Jian felt a strange sensation rising within him. Such bizarre herbs were likely to produce very special potions, and Song Jian was now looking forward to the moment the old dwarf would create the petrification potion;
