Dunestalker Level: 18 Class: Phase 1 Type: Poison Status: DEAD "Hahaha! Damn, that was way too close!" Luis let out a long breath and laughed heartily, looking at the massive corpse lying on the sand in front of him. This giant scorpion, the size of a small car, was now completely motionless. Right in the center of its head, running straight from its open mouth all the way to the back of its skull, was a large, charred, gaping hole. Thick white smoke was still rising continuously from that hole, accompanied by the distinct smell of burnt flesh and melted shell. The surrounding shell that was originally harder than steel had been completely melted away by the terrifying high-temperature beam, turning into black glass-like debris scattered around. "Thank goodness I had that automatic defense barrier! Otherwise, it would have been instant game over right at the start!" Luis patted his chest vigorously, still feeling a lingering fear. That sudden sneak attack was truly too fast and too vicious. If that stinger had pierced his heart directly, even with his high health points, the result would definitely not be good. Fortunately, the Mithril Chainmail he wore underneath his robe possessed a magical defense ability that activated automatically when facing fatal danger, saving his life at the critical moment. At this time, the World Tree hurriedly walked over. It didn't care about the enemy's body at all. Countless branches and leaves stretched out, gently patting and sweeping across Luis's body everywhere, checking carefully up and down, afraid that he might have been injured or poisoned without noticing. "Haha, I'm really fine! No wounds, no pain, really!" Luis laughed loudly at its anxious actions, his heart feeling very warm. Although he said he was fine, the cold sweat soaking his back hadn't dried yet. It was a reminder of just how dangerous the battle had been. Luis opened the status panel of the enemy he had just killed, and couldn't help but suck in a cold breath again. "Level 18! And it's a poison type too! No wonder its attack power was so terrifying and its defense was abnormally tough. It's already a Phase 1 beast. If we hadn't caught it off guard and destroyed its brain directly with continuous fire, dragging the battle out would have been even more disadvantageous for us." He shook his head, putting away his surprise. "Oh well, regardless of how strong or dangerous it was when alive, now that it is dead, it's just a pile of materials." Luis's expression turned calm and collected. "But I really need to be more alert and careful next time. Who would have thought that such a huge guy could lurk silently underground without making a single sound, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike? The wilderness is truly full of crises everywhere." He then opened his own status panel to check his current condition. LUIS MAKISIG Level: 11 HP: 1100 / 1100 (Full Health) MP: 341 / 459 Core Attributes: STR: 14 | DEX: 15 | INT: 16 | VIT: 14 Available Core Attribute Points: 0 "Phew~ my health is still full, but my mana has dropped by more than 100 points." Luis nodded clearly. "That beam mode really is a bottomless pit for consumption. Just ten seconds of continuous firing cost me nearly a quarter of my total mana! If I held on for a few more seconds, I probably would have been drained dry. But the effect is indeed terrifying; even a Level 18 monster couldn't withstand such concentrated energy erosion." He walked towards the body of the Dunestalker. Normally, the first thing to do after killing an enemy was to let the World Tree absorb its life force and energy to help it evolve, but this time, the World Tree hadn't dealt the final blow, and more importantly the enemy was already completely dead. Once a creature died, its vitality dissipated rapidly. Absorbing a dead body yielded very little benefit, almost negligible, and it definitely wouldn't count towards the evolution progress. "Such a pity. If we could have absorbed it while it w
