The Power of the Snake Poison Pearl

"In the name of Midgard, the poisonous fog," Lu Yang said. "This is the incantation for the Snake Poison Pearl. Try it out."

Xiao Liang nodded and pointed the Snake Poison Pearl forward. He repeated Lu Yang's words.

"In the name of Midgard, poisonous fog."

The black-green Snake Poison Pearl suddenly emitted a dazzling green light. A large amount of light green poisonous fog floated out of the pearl. After encountering the stone, it automatically dispersed and continued to drift forward from the upper and lower parts.

The three or four half-orcs who were blocking the gap between the rocks were the first to be attacked by the poison. The half-orcs, who were originally dark green, were dyed a bright green color. However, the half-orcs did not react at all. They only focused their hatred on Xiao Liang and continued to stab Lu Yang and Xiao Liang with their clubs.

...

Although Xiao Liang could not see the range of the poisonous fog behind him, he saw countless system notifications on the interface beside him. He simply counted hundreds of half-orcs.

"Boss, the range of this poisonous fog is so big." Xiao Liang said excitedly.

Lu Yang said, "Of course. It has a 10 by 10 range and the damage is high. It takes 10 HP every second for 5 minutes."

Xiao Liang calculated and said, "A half-orc has 2,000 HP. One minute is 60 seconds. Then I can kill about 100 half-orcs in four minutes."

Each half-orc gave more than 260 experience points, so 100 half-orcs would give 26,000 experience points. This amount of experience was enough for Xiao Liang to reach level 3.

"It won't take that long. Watch me." Lu Yang jumped to the end of the rock and raised the Arsonist's Staff in his hand. He chanted an incantation and released the spell that came with the Arsonist's Staff, Fire Wall.

A 2 by 2 fire wall ignited on the ground in front of the stone. The raging fire was half a meter tall, and the half-orcs in the Fire Wall were immediately injured.

Xiao Liang also jumped up. When he saw Lu Yang's Fire Wall, he said in surprise, "Boss, you actually have an AoE spell."

Area-of-effect spells had been exposed by the media long before the game was released. In order to restrict players from leveling up, Second World had specially set it so that they could only be learned by players at level 10 and above. He did not expect Lu Yang to learn it at level 5.

Lu Yang said, "It's not that I learned this spell. It's just that this weapon of mine is powerful. This Arsonist's Staff comes with a level 1 Fire Wall spell."

As he spoke, Lu Yang continued to release the Fire Wall technique. Soon, the entire ground turned into a sea of fire.

Fire Wall dealt 36 damage per second. Including Lu Yang's spell damage bonus of 110 points, Fire Wall could actually deal 146 damage per second to monsters.

The half-orcs did not escape in all directions from the sea of fire. They just walked around in the sea of fire angrily. Unfortunately, they were stopped by the players in front of them and could not hit Lu Yang. Moreover, the Fire Wall had a special characteristic.

According to the rules of the game, there were two types of damage dealt to players by Fire Wall. The first type was to receive damage from touching the Fire Wall. As long as one touched the Fire Wall, they would be injured. After that, they would stay inside the Fire Wall and receive damage every second.

Another way of dealing damage was to make the monster come into contact multiple times. If the target walked into another Fire Wall from this one, the damage would be calculated separately. This would cause many half-orcs at the edge of the two Fire Walls to walk back and forth between the two Fire Walls because they could not hit Lu Yang. Each time they walked, the damage would be dealt. Each time they walked, they would only take 0.5 seconds.

In the end, in less than 20 seconds, before the Fire Wall finished burning, the nearly 100 half-orcs in front of them were all killed by Lu Yang's flames and Xiao Liang's poisonous fog.

...

A long stream of EXP appeared. Lu Yang's EXP bar jumped a lot. Xiao Liang's EXP bar also lit up with two consecutive golden lights, jumping from level 1 to level 3.

"Boss, this experience is too much," Xiao Liang said in surprise.

Compared to the players outside who were struggling to level up in the level 1 wild monster area, Xiao Liang could not imagine that his leveling speed could be so fast.

"Boss, with such a fast leveling speed, will I also enter the top ten of the level rankings?" Xiao Liang asked excitedly. He was already in the top 10,000 of the level rankings.

"That's possible," Lu Yang said. "Let's try and see if there's a chance to kill those big guild leaders and others."

"Okay." Xiao Liang was full of energy.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Then hurry up. The next wave of monsters is coming."

There were hundreds of half-orcs in the hall. After the first batch died, the subsequent half-orcs immediately replaced them.

Looking at another group of half-orcs stabbing the rocks with bone clubs, Xiao Liang, who had experience, was no longer afraid. When the cooldown of the Snake Poison Pearl was up, he chanted an incantation again.

Lu Yang also raised his staff and used Fire Wall to set up a sea of fire. Just as Lu Yang was waiting for his experience, a beep came from the lower right corner of the voice chat. Lu Yang took a look and realized that it was from Little Lanyu. He could not help but smile and press the answer button.

"Little Lanyu, why are you looking for me?" Lu Yang asked.

Faced with Lu Yang's big brother-like tone every time, the little girl felt very helpless. However, she also felt an inexplicable joy.

"Who are you calling young? I'm already in university," Lan Yu pouted and said.

Lu Yang could imagine Lan Yu's expression when she spoke. He said, "That's still a little girl. Why are you looking for me?"

Lan Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Did you offend the Black Blood of Everjoy Paradise? That guy has gone crazy and is looking for you all over the world."

Lu Yang was amused and asked, "Tell me, how am I wanted?"

"Everjoy Paradise sent word that you killed five of their elite players and took their bronze equipment, causing them to delay their dungeon runs. Black Blood has issued a wanted order. Whoever kills you will receive 100 credits via video call," Lan Yu said.

Lu Yang was speechless. He did not expect Black Blood to be so childish. He asked, "Did he mention the green pearl?"

Lan Yu asked, "What green pearl?"

Lu Yang was a little confused, but he quickly reacted. It was only the second day since the server opened. Black Blood and the others probably didn't know how to use the Snake Poison Pearl from the beginning after accidentally obtaining it in their previous life. They must have found out through other channels.

In this life, Black Blood and the others had just obtained the Snake Poison Pearl but didn't know what it could do before he snatched it from them. Therefore, Black Blood still didn't know how much he had lost. He was only angry about the equipment lost by Warrior Golden Eagle, Xun Feng, and the others.

Lu Yang said, "It's nothing. Don't worry. Black Blood can't beat me. It's useless no matter how many people he has."

The place where he leveled up was a level 15 map. Even if Black Blood turned the entire Flower Whisper Plain upside down, they wouldn't be able to find him.
