Chapter 87 Unexpected Fortune, Rare Item: [Sealed Bone Bell]
[Demon Hunter] Ye Fan ranked 8th with 84 points.
[Earth Knight] Zhao Yuan is ranked 30th with 66.6 points.
As for the 90th person who determines whether they can be selected as a military academy seed, it is an archer class that Ark doesn't recognize.
Minute.
Fangzhou didn't look at the rest in detail.
After a quick glance, he was surprised to find that although 180 students entered the underground cave at 8 a.m., the current points leaderboard only ranked 177th.
Fangzhou quickly realized what was happening and shook his head slightly.
Only one day has passed, and three trainees have already been eliminated.
The underground caves were still too dangerous for newbies like them who had only been awakened for two months.
He secretly reminded himself that he must not become arrogant or complacent because of today's success, and must not lose his vigilance.
Overall, apart from Ark being far ahead, the other trainees on the leaderboard are very closely matched.
After all, it's the first day, and everyone will definitely go all out and hunt like crazy.
The next two and three days will be a test of resilience and patience.
After confirming that everything was in order, Fangzhou found a relatively clean rock and sat down.
As he summarized his experiences from the battle, he watched as the hardworking skeletons took on the role of scavengers on the battlefield.
For Ark, this battle was generally considered a success.
He didn't expend too much mental energy, nor did he lose many skeletons, and easily became the final winner.
Therefore, it is true that being the sixth-ranked person once is enjoyable, and being the sixth-ranked person every time is enjoyable.
However, to always emerge victorious, the ability to detect enemy activity and conceal one's movements are both essential.
In this regard, Fangzhou understands that he still has significant shortcomings.
This time, the opponents were all low-level monsters with dull senses, such as goblins and cavemen.
If it were a ferocious hound or a ferocious wolf, a monster with a keen sense of smell, Ark's rather rudimentary stealth abilities would have likely detected its presence long ago, and he wouldn't have been able to reap the rewards so easily.
Recording this reflection in his personal terminal's memo, Fangzhou stood up and began to tally up the gains from this battle.
Judging from the corpses in the goblin cave, 30 goblins, 40 cave dwellers, and 15 slimes died in this battle.
The goblin's pointed ears, the caveman's webbed feet, and the slime's skin were all on the list of materials provided by the military academy.
In addition, the skeletons also collected some rarer sweet sacs from several of the larger slimes.
These sweet sacs are extremely attractive to some monsters with a sweet tooth.
Therefore, not only can you exchange some contribution points for the military academy, but you might also need them for the hunt in the next two days.
After removing some materials damaged in the fierce battle, Ark roughly estimated that these materials could bring him at least 30 contribution points.
However, the pack he carried to store materials was almost empty. Fortunately, the slime's skin was very elastic, making it an excellent container.
After wrapping up the materials, Ark looked at another pile of items that the skeleton army had neatly arranged.
Among the four apprentices, the elite goblin provided him with five pieces of [grayish, low-quality] equipment: Chieftain's Battle Axe, Chieftain's Feather Crown, Warrior's Axe x2, and Priest's Crystal Ball.
The two elite cave monsters, both mid-level apprentices, provided him with two [low-quality gray] items: the Guardian Bone Shield and the Elder's Staff.
equipment.
Although the equipment seized from monsters still needs to be modified before it can be used by humans, the military academy offers a buyback price of 5 to 8 points for it.
Ark checked the hunting log and found that these 7 pieces of gray, low-quality equipment could be recycled for at least 40 contribution points.
Adding the materials worth 30 contribution points from before, Ark obtained 70 contribution points worth of resources in this battle without lifting a finger.
This is so much more enjoyable than clearing the Abyss difficulty [Horned Demon Outpost] every day before.
However, these materials and equipment were too heavy.
After the Ark, during the march, only a few skeletons could be assigned specifically to carry the luggage.
He looked expectantly at the last pile of spoils.
These are two [grayish, low-quality] [rare] items.
The first item was the [Rock Shield Crystal] found on the cave-dwelling elder.
[Rock Shield Crystal] (Gray, Inferior): A single-use consumable item, usable only by mages. Casts one Apprentice-level [Rock Shield] spell upon use.
This strange item is a disposable item.
Previously, the cave-dwelling elder crushed one of them, attempting to create a shield to block the bone spears.
However, it naturally failed.
Based on the combat demonstration just now, the shield created by the [Rock Shield Crystal] is more effective than the Ark's own [Bone Shield].
The defensive effectiveness is far too poor.
Ark itself probably won't need it.
However, the advantage of this kind of one-time consumable item is that it can be used instantly and does not require the consumption of mental energy.
If it were recycled and given to a military academy, it should contribute 3 or 4 points.
Fangzhou should keep it. Whether he wants to use it later, return it to the military academy, or even give it to his two assistants, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang, as a reward for his research project, it would be a good choice.
Then, he looked at the second artifact, the [Goblin Sealing Bone Bell].
This bone bell is a strange object created by goblin priests after they sacrificed it to the cave queen through some kind of ritual.
It once used this strange object to seal away the cave monster's most delicious ally, the giant slime, causing the giant slime to defect and almost turn the tide of battle.
However, in order to block the Ark's skeletal spears, the goblin priest used a large slime as a meat shield, which eventually exploded and scattered all over the ground.
Fangzhou gently shook the somewhat menacing bone bell, but apart from a slightly muffled sound, there was no reaction whatsoever.
Could it be that the bell broke because he killed the slime?
Ark checked the description of this strange item through the attribute panel.
[Goblin Sealing Bone Bell] (Gray, Inferior Quality, Repairable): Usable only by magic users. Can seal one creature of intermediate apprentice rank; seal duration depends on spirit attribute.
He tried to fix it using the properties panel, but the feedback he received was that he lacked the relevant knowledge.
Fangzhou pondered for a while.
Previously, Instructor Su Xinyan gave him a beautiful blue sachet, saying that she made it herself.
This proves that Instructor Su has a lot of experience in making strange objects.
After the underground hunt is over, go find her and ask how to repair this [Goblin Sealed Bone Bell].
By this time, the hardworking skeleton army had almost completely cleaned up the chaotic cave battlefield.
Ark found an upwind spot in the goblin cave and began to set up camp.
Compared to the underground caves outside, this cave, though stuffy and smelly, at least offers shelter from the wind and rain, making it a great spot for camping.
