Chapter 79: Wyvern Skin, Fire Source
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Chen, who was holding the steel ironwood spear, activated the Windrun skill and quickly charged over. In the blink of an eye, he climbed onto the wyvern’s body. However, before he could reach its head, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Dave, who had been smashing the wyvern’s head with his fist, had no choice but to give up on attacking. He grabbed the wyvern’s head to prevent himself from being thrown down. While charging at the wyvern’s head, Zhou Chen encountered a huge wind resistance that slowed him down.
Zhou Chen tried to stab the wyvern with the spear, but realized that his spear could barely break through its defense and it took a lot of effort. It was not suitable in the current situation, so he had to stab its eyes.
Therefore, while the wyvern was flying at high speed in the sky, trying to throw Dave to the ground, Zhou Chen gradually neared its head.
Dave also noticed him and was surprised that he could stand so steadily on the back of the wyvern, unlike him who was being tossed around like a swing.
Relying on the powerful ability of the Windrun skill, Zhou Chen walked sideways towards the head of the wyvern. His spear was getting closer and closer to its eyes.
The wyvern also sensed Zhou Chen’s threat at this moment. It began to shake its head frantically, trying to throw Zhou Chen off. After some struggling, it realized that it was unable to stop Zhou Chen’s advance. It opened its mouth and breathed flames wildly, as if it wanted to scare away Zhou Chen with the high temperature of the flames.
However, Zhou Chen had finally found an opportunity to get near the wyvern and had already made up his mind to kill it. He would not be frightened by these obstacles. He continued to maintain the Windrun skill and pressed himself firmly on the wyvern’s head. He stepped on its head step by step and stabbed the spear into its eyes.
A miserable wyvern’s cry sounded. Blood flew in the air. The wyvern, which was flying in the air, struggled a few times and fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, smashing open a pit.
Zhou Chen did not relax when the wyvern fell. He relied on the effect of the Windrun skill to reduce most of the impact of the fall. When the wyvern landed, he pushed the spear in its head deeper.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skills of the Fire-breathing Wyvern, “Wyvern Skin II, Fire Source II”. Do you want to absorb?]
After hearing the system’s announcement, Zhou Chen confirmed that the wyvern was dead. He pulled out the steel ironwood spear from its eyes and checked the two passive skills.
[Wyvern Skin II]
Type: Mid bronze passive skill
Your skin is immune to low bronze-ranked physical and magic damage. You are greatly immune to mid bronze-ranked damage and slightly immune to high bronze-ranked damage.]
1
[Fire Source II]
Type: Mid bronze passive skill
Your body will periodically produce fire attribute energy. After breathing it out, it will form high temperature flames, dealing mid bronze-ranked fire damage.]
“Absorb!”
After reading the details of these two passive skills, Zhou Chen absorbed them.
Soon, he felt a subtle change in his skin. It became more tough and tensile, and a powerful warm current spread in his body, making his cold body feel warm.
“The warm current in my body should be the so-called fire attribute energy. I feel that as long as it accumulates for another half an hour, I can breathe a powerful flame.”
After absorbing the Fire Source passive skill, some relevant information appeared in Zhou Chen’s mind, allowing him to know how to judge and use the fire attribute energy in his body.
“Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your protection!”
Just as Zhou Chen was thinking to himself, Dave’s voice sounded beside him. His physique was very strong, and he was not killed by the wyvern’s fall. It looked like there was only some blood at the corners of his mouth, and he quickly got up from the ground.
“Refugee, your courage is amazing! Your achievements will be remembered by the entire Cedar Town for a long time!”
He looked at Zhou Chen and praised him.
“Thank you, but let’s put out the fire first.”
Zhou Chen smiled faintly when he heard this, and reminded Dave that it was not time to relax yet.
Dave immediately reacted and ran in the direction of his house.
Zhou Chen quickly followed. When he arrived, he realized that only a small area of Dave’s house had been burned. The burned part had already been extinguished by Dave’s wife and the others with snow. The tall girl and the refined young man were helping as well.
“Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your protection!”
Dave heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that his wife was fine. He sighed again when he hugged her before running to help the other families put out the fire.
Some houses were still burning. A large number of residents used various tools to lift the snow and put out the fire.
Zhou Chen did not idle. He, the tall girl, and the refined young man helped the townsfolk put out the fire in hopes of leaving a good impression on these natives and making the next few days easier.
Everyone worked until night fell before the fire was finally extinguished. They found that a third of the houses in the town were completely ruined. More than half were severely damaged, and only a small portion had not been touched by the fire.
In addition to the loss of the houses, more than thirty townsfolk were burned to death, and more than ten people were missing. The atmosphere of sadness quickly filled the town.
The surviving residents of Cedar Town quickly held a meeting under the organization of a few old men to discuss the reconstruction plan and the care of some injured people.
Zhou Chen, the tall girl, and the refined young man returned to Dave’s house to continue huddling around the fire and took out the potatoes that had been burned into mush to eat.
“Here is your half.”
The refined young man pulled out a charred potato from the fire and handed half of it to the little girl beside him. The girl, who seemed to have fallen a few times, immediately reached out to take it. After biting it, her mouth was scalded, and she almost spat out the potato in her mouth.
“Eat slowly.”
The young man narrowed his eyes and smiled.
“Can the wyvern meat be eaten?”
Suddenly, he looked at Zhou Chen, who was staring at the fire and eating a potato quietly.
“I’m not sure… You can ask a native.”
Zhou Chen quickly replied.
“I asked earlier. The natives said that it can be eaten, but it’s more cost-effective to sell it.”
The tall girl, who rarely spoke, interrupted.
“Alright, I’ll sell it for money then. I will share the profits with you.”
Zhou Chen smiled.
Although the two did not contribute to killing the wyvern, it was not good to monopolize the profits when he was staying in the group.. Zhou Chen planned to give them some benefits.
