Survival of the Nation: I Can Specify the Items That Will Drop

Chapter 30: Heavy Shield Guards (Part 2)

Translate to

The Wildfire Spear seemed to come alive, a faint dark red flame igniting at its tip (Prairie Fire effect triggered).

Every thrust carried a scorching aura, accurately striking the cracks or weak joints in the Centurion's Bones.

-85! -87! -90! (Prairie Fire triggered, splash damage -15!)

The Centurion was forced back repeatedly by this sudden onslaught, its soul fire flickering wildly.

It tried to counterattack, but the weakness at its joints—continuously weakened by Shadow Snake—became apparent, and its movements were visibly sluggish.

"Now!" Lin Feng spotted a flaw; due to the injury in its left leg joint, the Centurion's body froze for a split second.

He stepped forward, twisted his waist, and poured all his strength into his right arm. The Wildfire Spear turned into a crimson meteor tearing through the darkness, piercing straight into the Centurion's skull socket—which was wide open in rage, exposing its soul fire core!

【Critical Hit! -90!!】

The spear tip penetrated without resistance, and the dark red soul fire exploded from the back of the Centurion's head like fireworks!

The tall skeleton ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) froze, and the Bronze War Halberd fell to the ground with a "clang."

Immediately after, the bones throughout its body let out a "crack-crack" wail and collapsed with a bang, turning into a pile of lifeless withered bones.

【Killed Lv11 Skeleton Centurion (Elite), Experience +500】

【Level Up: 7 → 8】

【Obtained Free Attribute Point: 1】

Lin Feng added the attribute point to Strength again. His Strength reached 15 (Base 10 + 50% bonus from Generals Majesty), and his attack power broke the 100 mark!

A warm current swept through his body, his injuries recovered quickly, and his strength climbed once more!

Almost at the same moment the Centurion fell, the eighteen strengthened Skeleton Soldiers also froze; the soul fire in their sockets extinguished instantly, and their skeletons scattered across the ground.

Inside the tomb chamber, only the heavy breathing of the group remained for a while.

"Is... is it over?" one of Scarface Liu's subordinates looked at the pile of broken bones in disbelief.

"Look! There's something!" Shadow Snake, sharp-eyed, pointed into the Centurion's broken bones.

There, a thick, dark yellow book lay quietly. A large shield pattern was embossed on its cover, emitting a faint earthy yellow glow. (Note: It will be explained later that killing higher-level monsters increases the drop rate, while killing monsters lower than one's level decreases it.)

In addition, there were three gray energy crystals and several dark gray bone fragments of clearly higher quality (Centurion's Bone, blue material).

Everyone's eyes were focused on that book.

Zhao Hu's breathing involuntarily quickened, and a light of unprecedented longing erupted in his eyes.

A Warrior Class Change Book! He had finally waited for it!

Lin Feng stepped forward and bent down to pick up the heavy book. It felt slightly heavy in his hand, with a primitive texture.

【Class Change Book: Heavy Shield Guard (Warrior Branch)】

【Core Skill after Class Change "Iron Wall Body": Passive: constitution attribute +50%, Strength attribute +20%. Active Activation: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to gain a shield equivalent to 30% of one's maximum health, lasting 30 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.】

【Description: A warrior path focusing on defense and protection, serving as the team's most solid bulwark.】

"What a great skill!" Lin Feng praised inwardly. The passive significantly boosted survival and strength, and the active shield was a life-saving skill at critical moments. This perfectly fit Zhao Hu's role and development direction.

He turned and scanned the group. Although Scarface Liu's four men had envy in their eyes, there was more awe and acceptance—they knew that the primary credit for this battle and this class change book rightfully belonged to Zhao Hu.

Shadow Snake's gaze was calm; she followed an agility assassination path, so this class change book did not suit her.

Lin Feng handed the class change book to Zhao Hu: "Brother Zhao, here. The defense of Black Wind Camp will depend on you from now on."

Zhao Hu's hand trembled slightly as he took the heavy book.

He looked at Lin Feng; this young man's eyes were clear and firm, without any pretense.

"Lin Feng... I..." This iron-willed man's voice actually choked up a bit.

Lin Feng smiled and patted his shoulder: "Alright, Brother Zhao, don't be like that, you're a grown man. Use it quickly and let me see the prestige of a Heavy Shield Guard."

Zhao Hu nodded heavily, bit his fingertip, and dripped blood onto the shield relief on the cover.

The blood was instantly absorbed, and the book turned into a heavy, earthy yellow light that surged into Zhao Hu's body.

【Class Change Successful!】

【Class: Heavy Shield Guard (Beginner)】

【Core Skill "Iron Wall Body" has been activated!】

A steady and heavy aura radiated from Zhao Hu.

His muscle contours seemed more defined, an earthy yellow luster flowed faintly under his skin, and his entire presence became as stable as a mountain.

He moved his body, clenched his fists, and felt the surging power and tougher physique within him, his face showing excitement.

"How does it feel?" Lin Feng asked.

"Great! Better than ever!" Zhao Hu's voice was sonorous. "I feel like I can now take two hits from a Centurion head-on without retreating!"

The envy in the eyes of Scarface Liu's four men grew stronger, but at the same time, they gained more confidence in the team's future strength.

Leader Lin Feng's strength was unfathomable, and Deputy Leader Zhao Hu had now changed to a powerful defensive class; Black Wind Camp's top combat power had taken shape.

"Collect the loot, we're heading back," Lin Feng ordered. "Keep today's events a secret for now. Especially the news of Brother Zhao's class change."

Everyone understood and quickly gathered the three energy crystals and the Centurion's Bone.

Lin Feng seemingly casually put the Centurion's Bronze War Halberd into his bag (Green quality, Attack Power +25, with "Concussion" effect, quite valuable).

On the way back, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

After this battle, Scarface Liu's four men were completely convinced by Lin Feng's command and strength, and their sense of belonging greatly increased.

Zhao Hu was even more high-spirited, feeling the power brought by his new class from time to time.

Lin Feng walked at the front, but his mind was racing.

The Skeleton Centurion was dealt with, Zhao Hu successfully changed classes, and the team's core combat power was consolidated.

Next, it was time to fully prepare for the refresh of the Eye of Probability.

There were still twenty-three days left.
