Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Survival Skill "Damage Transfer
After marveling at the explosive growth of his own strength for a while, Zi Liyuan turned his attention to the skill books he had obtained.
"Damage Transfer", "Healing Technique", "Lightning Chain", "Berserk Technique", "Bloodthirsty Technique", "Lightning Arrow", a total of six skills, among which five had all been seen on the body of the Goblin Priest, only "Damage Transfer" had not been seen in action.
Damage Transfer (Blue, Level 1, 0/1000): Marks a friendly target and turns 40% of the damage received by the caster into magic damage transferred to the marked target, consuming 200 spiritual energy, instantly marks a friendly target, the skill lasts for 60 seconds, skill cooldown time ten minutes, learning requirement: magic-based professions.
A powerful magic-based survival skill, no wonder the Goblin Priest hadn\'t used it; once the battle began, Zi Liyuan, aside from using the Shield Combat Skeleton to block this guy\'s path, didn\'t have a single skeleton attack it.
Therefore, the Goblin Priest never had a chance to use this skill!
Shaking his head, Zi Liyuan learned the "Damage Transfer" skill, then looked at the other five skills and instantly his expression fell.
All of the remaining five skills had learning requirements.
"Healing Technique" could only be learned by practitioners of the light, wood, or nature magic professions.
The learning requirements for "Lightning Chain", "Berserk Technique", "Bloodthirsty Technique", "Lightning Arrow" were that they could only be learned by shamans or priestly professions.
He coveted them, but there was nothing he could do.
Skill books could be obtained either through challenges in secret realms, from hero-grade or higher bosses in wild instances, from key bosses in high-level instances, with an extremely low chance from loot boxes, or by entering the Sea of Realms.
Low-level damaging spell books were easier to obtain and didn\'t have low drop rates, but healing and buff-type auxiliary skill books were very rare.
Many practitioners might reach the 5th transformation at level 100 and still be using the skill tree that came with their profession\'s awakening template, rarely obtaining suitable healing or buff-type skill books to learn.
Thus, healing and buff-type professions were very popular among practitioners, being considered rare species, nearly included in the empire\'s protection law.
Although exaggerated, it conveys the scarcity of healing and buff-type professions.
Zi Liyuan silently put the five skill books in the backpack, planning to sell "Lightning Arrow" and "Lightning Chain" at the official auction house, but he intended to keep the other three.
He was someone who aspired to enter the Sea of Realms and become a lord, naturally needing to train loyal followers. How could he let these rare healing and buff-type skill books slip away?
As for the other loot obtained, he sorted everything categorically and put it all into the Spatial Backpack.
Apart from items reaching silver hero quality, various potions, and blueprint drawings, the rest could be dealt with after returning.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Zi Liyuan didn\'t rest at all, leading the Skeleton Army back, clearing the entire Goblin Tribe.
There was no choice, the Level 30 "Bloodthirsty Goblin Forest" instance had even the minor monsters as elite bosses. Coupled with Zi Liyuan\'s more-than-favorable relationship with Lady Luck, every monster slain dropped the most and best loot.
But Zi Liyuan\'s Spatial Backpack was extremely limited, and countless materials and equipment could only be left behind on the spot.
In such wild instances, the materials and equipment left behind would not be consumed by instance refreshes, so they all remained in place.
Now that I had obtained four spatial backpacks, each with 40 slots, and could stack up to 100 of the same items, of course, I intended to collect all these drops.
This was all money!
Without any exaggeration, just the materials and equipment dropped from "Bloodthirsty Goblin Forest" alone, if sold wholesale, could fetch at least fifty million Dragon Coins!
One should know that, thanks to my numerous blessings from the Goddess of Luck, the equipment dropped was all top-tier quality—not a bit less in value!
Fortunately, there weren\'t many types of monsters in "Bloodthirsty Goblin Forest," so most of the loot was of the same kind and could be stacked for storage—including identical equipment with the same attributes.
Cleaning out the entire dungeon took an hour and a half. The recently acquired 160-slot inventory was filled with 120 slots of items, and the whole dungeon had been swept clean.
"Whew, finally done cleaning. Next up, the last three Heroic Bosses," I breathed.
Throughout the clean-up of the dungeon, Zi Liyuan hadn\'t neglected to keep an eye on the movements of the three Heroic Bosses.
During this period, the three Heroic Bosses gathered again at the entrance of the Stone Hall, triggering another conflict.
Without the Goblin Priest\'s involvement, the Goblin Wizard and the Great Goblin Warrior actually teamed up against the Goblin Chieftain, thwarting the Chieftain\'s attempt to break into the Stone Hall once more.
After the skirmish, the three Heroic Bosses retreated with their remaining minions.
Zi Liyuan, ready to continue taking on the Heroic Bosses, unhesitatingly set his sights on the Goblin Chieftain as the next target.
With his current 144 Spirit, able to command 144 skeletons, he was fully capable of facing both the Goblin Wizard and the Great Goblin Warrior at the same time.
However, he was reluctant to confront a combination of the Goblin Chieftain and another Heroic Boss, as, upon observation, the Chieftain seemed to possess a skill that could enhance other Heroic Bosses!
Back during the initial conflict among the four Heroic Bosses, the Goblin Chieftain was clearly in an alliance with the Goblin Wizard. They clashed with the Goblin Priest and the Great Goblin Warrior, fighting one another.
At that time, Zi Liyuan noticed a special buff effect on the Goblin Wizard. Throughout the fight, the Chieftain and the Wizard dominated the Priest and the Warrior. If it weren\'t for the Priest\'s healing skills, they would have been unable to withstand the damage from the Chieftain and the Wizard.
Zi Liyuan had basically figured out the skills of the Goblin Wizard and the Great Goblin Warrior.
But the skill set of the Goblin Chieftain was still somewhat unclear.
All he knew now was that the Chieftain dealt physical damage, possessed single-target, throwing, and AoE physical damage skills, along with unknown buff skills and a trump card move.
This guy had off-the-charts attack power and ranged throwing attacks. If it weren\'t for acquiring the silver priest set beforehand, Zi Liyuan would not have dared to face it directly.
Now, though, with 163 magical resistance and 10,000 health points, Zi Liyuan was not afraid of the opponent coming at him.
To take a swing at him, they\'d have to get past his skeleton minions first!
After a short rest of a bit over ten minutes, Zi Liyuan led his Skeleton Army towards the location of the Goblin Chieftain.
To contain this Heroic Boss, aside from summoning 100 magic-wielding skeletons and four Vulture Skeletons, the remaining 40 spots were filled with Shield Combat Skeletons, Skeleton Behemoths, and Skeleton Knights.
