Chu Ge thought that these snap traps were magical weapons that could be used against the dead spirits. This Undead Knight had a stronger combat strength and had better resistance against getting hit. Other than that, it was not much different from a skeleton.
Chu Ge stepped forward and began to touch the corpse in high spirits.
[Roland Knight’s Long Sword (weapon/one-handed sword)
Hacking Damage: 30.
Piercing Damage: 25.
Attacking Speed: Average.
Attacking Distance: 105.
Durability: 28/40.
Item introduction: This is a standard Knight’s Sword and is one of the most commonly used weapons by knights in the Roland Kingdom.]
This sword looks pretty good, but Chu Ge felt that it was not as good as his Zanbato and Tang Sword. This sword seemed very simple and ancient. If it were taken home and hung up on the wall, it would look pretty stylish.
Chu Ge did not lament on it for too long, as he continued to touch the corpse.
The second item was a pair of gloves.
[Knight’s Chain Gloves (protective armor/handguard).
Attribute: Hand defense + 12.
Item Introduction: These gloves are made of metal. It is an accessory that is part of a complete set of protective armor.]
Rubbish! Chu Ge looked at the Chain Gloves in his hand and thought that, “What would I do with a pair of gloves? If it was a breastplate, it could be used as an ornament; however, this pair of gloves is useless.”
He went to touch the corpse again.
Finally, the third item that dropped was something decent. It was a ring.
[Battle Ring (accessory/ring).
Attribute: It increases your weight-bearing capacity by 10 points.
Item Introduction: This ring is made of black iron. The constant spell on this ring allows you to increase your weight-bearing capacity when you wear it, giving you a more lasting combat strength.]
Improve the weight-bearing capacity? Sigh. This was better than nothing.
Chu Ge put the ring on his finger. To be honest, what he wanted the most was a skill book. However, it seemed like it was pretty rare to drop skill books. But the ring wasn’t too bad. At least it was easy to wear. Right now, he was wearing three rings. The rings were the Battle Right (lifts weight), the Poison Biting Ring (poison resistance), and the Red Crystal Ring (strength +1).
Chu Ge did not know if there was a limit on the number of rings he could wear. If he gained more rings in the future, he would wear five on his hands, then hang eight to ten around his neck. With just all the attributes from rings alone, he would become invincible.
However, it had to be said that the effect of this ring occurred immediately. As soon as Chu Ge had put on the ring, he felt his body become a lot lighter. Although the anti-explosive armor was much lighter than metal armor, it still weighed quite a few kilograms. But now, his body felt no different to wearing ordinary clothes. The weapon in his hand also seemed to feel lighter.
Chu Ge guessed that these ten points of weight-bearing capacity were equivalent to reducing the weight by 10 kilograms.
After killing the second Boss, Chu Ge was not in a hurry to continue forward.
The room guarded by the Undead Knight was a point of intersection. On both sides of the hall where the Undead Knight was located were two stone doors, while in front was a downward staircase and behind was, of course, the way from which Chu Ge had arrived.
Chu Ge did not hurry forward, but instead, he first checked the stone doors on both sides. The stone door on the left was locked. It had a round disc and five stone runes that could spin. It seemed that all of the runes needed to be rotated to the correct position before the door could be opened.
After studying the door for a while, Chu Ge still could not figure out what it meant. This thing needed some kind of password for him to open.
Afterward, he walked to the stone door on the right, which was not locked with a password. The door opened after Chu Ge gave it a gentle push.
Chu Ge looked inside and was suddenly stupefied. Apart from a few stone coffins, a person was standing inside. This person was not like the skeletons Chu Ge had encountered previously, but rather a real living person who wore a gray garment with a gray linen hood, carrying a pickaxe on the shoulder.
There is a silver star next to the name Greymouth (tomb raider).
Huh? There was a rare elite monster here? Chu Ge could not help but become surprised and happy at the same time. During this time, he had studied this Multi-universe Instance Dungeon System a lot. According to the information given by the system, in an Instance Dungeon, apart from having Bosses, small monsters, and servant monsters (such as the Kobold guards), there were also two other kinds of monsters: the rare elite monsters.
Elite monsters were more powerful than the ordinary small monsters but could not be considered a Boss. Chu Ge had yet to encounter one because the Instance Dungeons he entered were all Noob levels; therefore, it didn’t seem to have the configuration of elite monsters.
As for rare elite monsters, they were also stronger than small monsters but weaker than Bosses. However, unlike ordinary elite monsters, rare elite monsters were very rare (because they are ‘rare’ elites); therefore, they were bound to drop more valuable treasures.
Chu Ge did not expect to encounter one so soon.
It just so happened that neither of the previous two Bosses had dropped anything useful, so it would be a good chance to defeat this one and see if anything valuable could be gained.
Although the tomb raider in front of Chu Ge was not a Boss, he was still not ready to fight against it yet. Even though this guy wore shabby clothes and was unarmored, the weapon in his hand looked a bit scary. The tomb raider’s weapon looked similar to a Kobold’s mining pick but was twice as big. It looked as if the weapon could pierce armors. Therefore, to be on the safe side, Chu Ge set up a few snap traps at the stone door entrance, then used his bow and arrow to pull the monster over.
While Chu Ge was preparing, Greymouth was messing around while lying on a stone coffin. He suddenly let out a scream when he was shot by Chu Ge’s arrow. Greymouth’s health had decreased by a quarter, and he immediately turned around. His eyes under the hood displayed a look of viciousness.
“Look what I see right now, another grave robber. I think you are in the wrong place, buddy. These treasures belong to me. They are all mine!” Greymouth shouted as he waved the pickaxe in his hand and rushed towards Chu Ge. When he arrived at the entrance, he suddenly stopped. He looked at the snap traps on the ground, then raised his head and looked a Chu Ge. Afterward, he stepped over the traps.
“Sh*t, this guy even knew to avoid the trap,” Chu Ge thought in his heart that these snap traps seemed to only work on dead spirits that had hardly had any intelligence.
But right now, he did not have time to think about this. He had already killed two Bosses, so there was no need to be afraid of a rare elite monster.
“Go die!” When Chu Ge shot out the second arrow, he immediately replaced his bow and arrow with his Tang Sword and bomb shield.
Greymouth tilted his head and dodged the arrow at a close range. He spun the pickaxe in his hand and swung towards Chu Ge.
Chu Ge quickly raised the shield in his hand to defend. He had strictly followed the combat skills that were taught to him by Wei Xinming. The shield was blocked in front of Chu Ge’s body. He tilted the shield when he blocked so that the force of the pickaxe would not all land on the shield. With a bang, Chu Ge’s arm shook from the impact, but he had successfully blocked the pickaxe. Then, he swung the Tang Sword in his hand.
Greymouth hurriedly leaned back to avoid the attack. However, the sword had still cut his shabby clothes and the skin on his chest. Greymouth wanted to swing his pickaxe again quickly; yet, in terms of agility, using a heavy weapon could not be matched to using the Tang Sword. Chu Ge made a backhand swing as his sword cut the arm of the grave robber. Immediately, blood spurted out, and Greymouth let out a scream. He finally raised his pickaxe; however, he had exposed himself to Chu Ge and took the opportunity to stab his Tang Sword towards the grave robber’s stomach.
This stab from the sword had immediately pierced the belly of the grave robber, and blood spurted out. Chu Ge could even feel the warmth and the stickiness of the blood. He and Greymouth were so close to each other that he could see the pain and madness in Greymouth’s eyes. This look had shaken Chu Ge’s heart, as he thought, “I killed someone?!” Such thoughts had flashed in his mind, but his instinct and habits did not stop him from attacking. He headbutted Greymouth in the face, who was pushed back from Chu Ge’s helmet. The Tang Sword in his hand was pulled out as he swung it again. It was not until Greymouth’s health bar had reached zero, and he fell to the ground that Chu Ge stopped attacking.
