Chapter 51 Rest and Improvement 4
"Huh! I almost forgot about this treasure!" Lin Tian slapped his forehead, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
He quickly took out the quest chest he had obtained after clearing the teleportation array in the starting village from his backpack. The rustic wooden chest looked incredibly tempting to him. "No-cost upgrade!" With a thought, his talent activated instantly.
hum!
A deep, faint light flowed across the surface of the treasure chest, making the originally simple patterns intricate and mysterious, as if it contained an even greater power.
Lin Tian then opened the treasure chest.
[Ding! Item obtained: [Thundercloud Shroud Scroll] x1]
[Ding! Item obtained: [Blazing White Tiger] x1]
Two system notifications flashed by. Lin Tian immediately checked the item's attributes:
[Thunderclouds shroud the scroll]
Type: Disposable magic scroll
Rank: B
Effect: Upon activation, any designated area will be surrounded by a thundercloud with a radius of 50 meters, lasting for 10 seconds. During this time, 10 thick lightning bolts will randomly strike every second, each bolt precisely targeting a target within the area and dealing 5000 points of lightning damage.
[Blazing Flame Pattern White Tiger]
Type: Mount
Rank: B
Effect: When riding, the user's movement speed will increase by 200% thanks to the surging fire energy within their body. They also have a fire affinity and will not be affected by fire when passing through fire areas.
"A one-time use scroll? And a mount?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, his mood somewhat complicated. "The scroll's effect is alright, a great tool for clearing mobs. The mount... a B-grade speed bonus of 200%? Tsk, I spent two hours running from Sunset City to Abyss Fortress, my legs were almost broken!" He complained as he tossed the [Thundercloud Enveloping Scroll] back into his backpack for later use.
The mount solved the immediate problem, but its B-grade rank isn't enough... upgrade it!
[Ding! 1100 upgrade points consumed, [Blazing White Tiger] B→S.]
[Current remaining upgrade points: 2559 - 1100 = 1459]
[Blazing Flame Pattern White Tiger]
Type: Mount
Rank: S
Effect: When riding, the user's movement speed will increase by 400% thanks to the surging fire energy within their body. They also have a fire affinity and will not be affected by fire when passing through fire areas.
Starfire Treads: Each step the White Tiger takes creates a cluster of starfire that lasts for 5 seconds, dealing 800 fire damage to enemy units that touch it.
Fire Breath Protection: When attacked, there is a 15% chance to trigger a sudden burst of flame patterns around the body, forming a fire barrier that lasts for 2 seconds and reduces damage taken by 30%. The skill has a 15-second cooldown.
"Wow... 400% movement speed! Plus damage and control effects! This is what deserves to be S-rank!" Lin Tian's eyes lit up with surprise. His little complaint vanished instantly, leaving only anticipation for the mount's power.
"call!"
With a thought, space slightly distorted.
boom!
With a deep and majestic roar, a magnificent white tiger appeared out of thin air on the charred giant rock!
The Blazing White Tiger stands proudly! Its entire body is covered with snow-white, fluffy fur, as pure as if woven from moonlight, untouched by any dust.
However, this pristine landscape is covered with large patches of orange-red flame patterns that resemble flowing lava and constantly pulsating!
These patterns are not static, but rather, as light and shadow shift, they radiate a molten, fiery glow, as if real flames were surging beneath them.
A large, brightly colored "王" (king) character mark on its forehead gleamed, with tiny golden sparks dancing around its edges.
A pair of crimson-gold eyes, like two miniature, condensed suns, shone brightly in the dim light of the valley, filled with the majesty of the king of beasts and the fury of fire.
What's most amazing about it are its four hooves! Every seemingly light step it takes, the moment its soles touch the scorched rock, a translucent phantom footprint burning with crimson-gold flames bursts forth with a "whoosh".
The phantom remained lingering, like a brand, for several seconds, radiating a scorching heat, with tiny sparks constantly drifting and rising from it. Its long, powerful tiger tail swayed freely, the tip sweeping through the air, creating strings of orange-red sparks that danced like fireflies, leaving brief but dazzling trails of light behind it.
A faint, luminous vortex, visible to the naked eye and carrying high temperature, subtly surrounds its robust body. Upon closer inspection, countless tiny flame particles float and leap within it, as if it itself were a walking essence of flame!
The mere presence of this creature exudes a powerful aura, a blend of the oppressive presence of the king of beasts and the heat of the lava core, forcing back the surrounding sulfurous odor.
"Awesome!" Lin Tian couldn't help but exclaim, as if his fatigue had been largely dispelled by this magnificent mount.
With a nimble flip, he straddled the broad back of the Blazing White Tiger. The fur beneath him was soft and warm, and the surging flame spiritual energy within the tiger seeped through his clothes, giving him an unparalleled sense of security and power.
The moment he mounted his mount, he clearly felt his connection with his surroundings become lighter and faster. With a thought, he brought up his latest attribute panel:
[Level]: 12
[Physical Attack]: 1350
[Magic Attack]: 3728
[Physical Defense]: 1576
[Spell Defense]: 1589
Speed: 1391
[Mana Points]: 14760
[Health Points]: 14240
[Upgrade Points: 1459]
Feeling the unprecedented surge of power within his body and the scorching heat emanating from the white tiger beneath him, Lin Tian's lips curled into a sharp smile. The gloom of the abyss valley seemed to have been somewhat dispelled by the light of the flames.
The sulfurous winds of the abyss swept across Lin Tian's scorching robes, but could not dispel the boiling battle intent in his eyes. Riding the magnificent [Blazing White Tiger], he looked down at the horde of demons surging like a black tide.
Lin Tian's figure, along with the white tiger he rode, suddenly vanished from the top of the giant rock!
[Flashing]!
The next instant, he appeared in the center of the valley, directly in front of him were dozens of abyssal demons and worms that had smelled the presence of the living and were rushing towards him frantically!
Awooo—!
The stench of the monster assaulted his senses, its claws and fangs gleaming coldly. Lin Tian's eyes remained unmoved, but his thoughts stirred slightly.
"Magic Shield!"
hum!
A deep blue energy shield, infused with profound arcane runes, instantly opened, enveloping him and the white tiger. The thick membrane of light shielded them from the polluted air and the oncoming malice, providing a solid sense of security. Almost the instant the shield formed, Lin Tian pointed his staff forward!
"Summon the wolf pack!"
call--!
Space twisted violently as fifty shadow wolves, shrouded in eerie blue demonic flames, roared and descended as if the gates of hell had been opened!
