Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent

Chapter 657: Chapter 453: Sacrifice

Looking at the remaining "145" experience points, Mo Qingchen felt that he wouldn’t use this thing again in the future. It was faster to level up by killing monsters with a Servant!

He checked the attributes of the Dragon Baby and added the free attribute points to its power, increasing it to 36 points, making physical attack 0~36, significantly boosting its strength.

"Not bad. With the Dragon Baby, I can easily handle low-level dungeons. The main task now is to use talent to draw cards and accumulate high-quality Servant Cards."

Thinking of high-quality Servant Cards, the first image that came to Mo Qingchen’s mind was the big turtle Kresh in the Howling Cave.

Despite drawing cards for so long, he just couldn’t draw Kresh’s Servant Card, even with a 10% increase in card drawing probability. This made Mo Qingchen feel an urge to spit blood.

Shaking his head to dispel his resentment towards the big turtle, Mo Qingchen packed his things and rode the Huaxia Dragon towards the city.

Low-level dungeons should be selectively cleared. Dungeons with low card value are a waste of time to clear.

Therefore, dungeons like the "Dogman Cave" and "Skeleton Mine" where magic-related servants can be obtained became key targets for clearing.

Sweeping through, plundering, drawing cards, after a whole day of efforts, Mo Qingchen’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Yet another fruitless day!

Time to go home and sleep...

——

The Howling Cave.

This time, instead of setting traps, Mo Qingchen entered the dungeon with the Dragon Baby and Goblin Warrior in a grand manner.

The Level 14 Dragon Baby was the undisputed main force; both a tank and main damage dealer, while the Goblin and Mo Qingchen were just there for the ride.

With his Turtle Shield, the Level 11 Mo Qingchen had over 100 points in physical defense, but his health was below 200 points, making him too fragile to act as a meat shield.

The Level 5 Goblin Warrior was even more lackluster. Its growth attributes were extremely low, with only a base physical attack of 0~5 points and a physical defense of 5 points.

If not for the Tree Stick and Pig Skin Armor, boosting physical attack to 0~15 and physical defense to 10 points, it might have been easily devoured by a Slime Monster.

The Dragon Baby engaged in a solo fight with its own kind, while the Goblin Warrior, under Mo Qingchen’s control, sneakily circled behind and knocked on heads with the Tree Stick, causing stuns and disrupting the dungeon mobs’ attack rhythm.

With two active attack skills and one passive damage-increasing skill, the Level 15 full-health Swift Dragon was taken down in less than a minute.

Seeing only a 140 point increase in experience points, Mo Qingchen was a bit frustrated, and the Dragon Baby’s experience increase was even less, only 110 points.

The only consolation was the Goblin Warrior, which, being only Level 5, directly gained 300 experience points.

"Experience scaling for surpassing levels: exceeding by 5 levels significantly boosts experience, while within 5 levels, each level increases by 10%."

Mo Qingchen opened his smart terminal and recorded this information into his private information library, then continued the hunt with his two servants.

Swift Dragons, Slime Monsters, Crocodiles, were all cleared one by one.

This time, the sturdy little pink Slime Monster finally did not disappoint Mo Qingchen’s expectations.

After so many monsters were killed, one by one, Mo Qingchen finally got a drop: a new Raptor Servant Card.

Without hesitation, he immediately inserted it into the card skill bar and summoned the new Swift Dragon Servant.

Compared to the lackluster Goblin Warrior, the Swift Dragon was summoned at Level 10, just like the Dragon Baby initially.

Mo Qingchen immediately used three Promotion Cards on the new Swift Dragon, upgrading it from a white ordinary card to a green elite card.

With two elite-level Dragon Babies and a full Level 10 Goblin Warrior, Mo Qingchen formed a standard cut-and-thrust team, greatly enhancing efficiency in killing monsters.

This time, he was no longer satisfied with just hunting Swift Dragons, Slime Monsters, and Crocodiles.

At the entrance of the Howling Cave, besides the river path, on either side of the river banks, Sharp Tooth Druids could be seen!

These Sharp Tooth Druids belonged to the Dark Night Elves lineage, humanoid creatures that could transform into Snake Monsters and cast spells, counting as mages.

Previously, Mo Qingchen considered himself not strong enough and hesitated to provoke these Sharp Tooth Druids, but now...

Glancing at the two Dragon Babies on either side, it was time to make a big move!

Remote-controlled car, roll out!

First, scout the enemy situation; he needed to see where the boss was, considering his current strength. He shouldn’t be able to take down the boss just yet.

After investigating both sides, he confirmed the position of the first boss, Anakodra, in the Howling Cave, at the first gathering spot of the Sharp Tooth Druids on the left side.

Without hesitation, Mo Qingchen took his team to the right side.

In the distance, some Swift Dragons were wandering, and a lone Sharp Tooth Druid was patrolling.

Opportunity!

The two Dragon Babies shot out like arrows off the string, launching a frenzied attack on the lone Sharp Tooth Druid.

The Goblin Warrior swung the Tree Stick, following closely behind the Dragon Babies, and mercilessly smashed the head of the Sharp Tooth Druid.

The Sharp Tooth Druid’s basic attributes were strong, and with its skills, this creature was not just a mage but also a close-combat mage.

However, in a 4 VS 1 brawl, this Sharp Tooth Druid had no choice but to admit defeat.

The resistance was slightly fierce, considering it could transform into a Snake Monster.

When transforming, its damage skyrocketed to another level.

If it weren’t for Mo Qingchen managing the servants’ positioning, ensuring the damage was evenly distributed among the three servants, the Goblin Warrior might have been bitten to death.

Seeing the two cards dropped by the defeated Sharp Tooth Druid, Mo Qingchen’s eyes lit up; unexpected drops!

Sharp Tooth Druid Servant Card (White) and Snake Pattern Space Bag Card.

He opened the backpack space and looked at the card obtained from his card drawing talent, Anger Technique.

Great, the mage foundation is set.

Servant: Sharp Tooth Druid (Ordinary)

Level: 10 (0/1000)

Life Force: 200/200; Mana Value: 400/400

Power: 10; Agility: 15; Intelligence: 20; Constitution: 10

Free attribute points: 10

Physical Damage: 0~10 Magic Damage: 20; Physical Defense: 10; Magic Defense: 20

Card Slot (0/3): Empty

This basic foundation was already far superior to the Goblin, and with proper development, it could truly become a mage.

However, currently, it only had an Anger Technique, and the spell had a 15-second cooldown. Although its damage was high, the cooldown was too long.

Without hesitation, Mo Qingchen opened his card skill bar, took out the "Endurance Amplification (Green)" skill card from the card slot, and inserted the Sharp Tooth Druid Servant Card.

With the addition of one more team member and including Mo Qingchen himself, this was already a standard team of five, although the team composition was biased towards a cut-and-thrust setup.

He summoned the Sharp Tooth Druid Servant and pulled out three Promotion Cards from his backpack to use on the Sharp Tooth Druid.

A green elite card appeared. Moments ago, it was an ordinary card, and it instantly became an elite, breaking the Level 10 white card level limit, with all kinds of attributes significantly improved.

Then he inserted the Anger Technique skill card into the Sharp Tooth Druid’s card slot and added all free attribute points to intelligence.

With three tanks in the front row, the mage could just crouch at the back and enjoy the magic output.

Thinking about various spells, Mo Qingchen greedily looked at the group of three Sharp Tooth Druids gathered not far away.

The only lone Sharp Tooth Druid had already been eliminated; the rest were grouped together.

Elite Dragon Baby No. 1, already Level 15, had a life value of 600 points, but its magic resistance was only 10 points. Two spells could consume roughly 100 life value points.

If it were to be focused, it could last about 10 seconds?
