LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 331 Effortless Slaying
This was an Insect Clan Monster that Wang Tao had never seen before, but he had seen its Awakening because it was exactly the same as Qi De's. Both passively enhanced physical qualities and greatly increased strength. But, obviously, it was much stronger than Qi De!
Squeak—
The Fire Patterned Ant let out a strange cry and charged towards Wang Tao and his group.
The group was prepared. Xu Xiaojun, clad in heavy armor and wielding a shield, stood his ground.
Bang!
[-2343]
The Fire Patterned Ant heavily smashed its mandibles against Xu Xiaojun's shield.
Xu Xiaojun was pushed back dozens of steps, losing more than two thousand HP.
"Such incredible strength..."
Xu Xiaojun felt his hands go numb, almost losing sensation.
The gap between Level 3 and Level 4 was indeed too vast, even his Level 4 gear wasn't enough.
However, by that time, He Jijun had also appeared beside the Fire Patterned Ant. He raised his curved long knife, leaped high, and swung at the side of the Fire Patterned Ant's face.
Bang!

With one swing, He Jijun slashed four thousand HP from the Fire Patterned Ant, and with the Bleed Effect from the Tusk Long Knife, it made a total of five thousand HP.
The damage numbers were lower than Wang Tao had expected. He Jijun's physical attributes were robust, and combined with the attack power of the Tusk Long Knife, the damage shouldn't be so low. Clearly, this Fire Patterned Ant had high defensive power, likely possessing a Defense Ability.
Pained by the attack, the Fire Patterned Ant immediately turned its head to bite at He Jijun. Its mandibles seemed like scissors, capable of shearing a person in two!
However, after swinging once, He Jijun immediately retreated, not opting for a head-on clash with the Fire Patterned Ant. Competing in defense with a monster was clearly unwise.
After missing its strike, the Fire Patterned Ant's mandibles deeply embedded in the ground. Then, as it suddenly raised its head, a large chunk of soil went flying, as it swung its head throwing it towards Wang Tao and his team.
"It has ranged attacks too?"
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, but it was not a big problem.
The team quickly retreated, effortlessly dodging the attack, and during the retreat, Lan Yulian cast a healing spell on Xu Xiaojun.
Seeing its attack was ineffective, the Fire Patterned Ant seemed a bit unhappy; it let out an angry roar and charged again at He Jijun.
At this moment, bullets fired by Ding Yuqin and others hit the Fire Patterned Ant.
They were not weak, but since this was a Level 4 Lord, there was no need for them, still being Level 3, to take risks. Shooting from a distance also gave them a sense of participation.
However, competitive individuals like Wei Zhenguo, Lu Gang, and Lu Yingfeng still went in with their weapons to exchange a few blows with the Fire Patterned Ant.
A mere Level 4 Lord, after all, with Lan Yulian there, the group was unafraid.
Their attacks did not inflict much damage on the Fire Patterned Ant, but it clearly agitated it. It immediately abandoned He Jijun and charged towards the group.
At that moment, Wang Tao took out a massive sickle and charged forward.
Since everyone was his own people, Wang Tao naturally couldn't slack off anymore; he also wanted to test how the Death Scythe and Sharp Long Knife compared in terms of attack power.
Seeing someone daring to charge directly at it, the Fire Patterned Ant opened its huge mouth and, amidst a strange roar, bit towards Wang Tao.
Wang Tao held the sickle in one hand and suddenly stretched out his other hand, from which Iron Tree Vines shot out, catching one of the Fire Patterned Ant's feelers before it could bite him. The vines contracted, lifting Wang Tao into the air and directly onto the Fire Patterned Ant's head!
As Wang Tao dodged the Fire Patterned Ant's attack, he gripped the massive sickle and fiercely slashed at the somewhat flattened head of the Fire Patterned Ant.
Bang!
[-8242]
[-1034]
Wang Tao's slash, enhanced with high-frequency vibration, cut over eight thousand HP from the Fire Patterned Ant, with an additional thousand HP from Poison Attribute, totaling nine thousand HP.

The overall damage was significantly higher than He Jijun's, but that was because He Jijun lacked high-frequency vibration. If Wang Tao didn't use high-frequency vibration, their damage would be similar.
Poison Attribute only dealt damage once, unlike Bleeding, which damaged three times.
The damage from Bleeding was based on the attack damage, with each instance of bleeding being 10% of the attack damage. The higher the attack damage, the higher the Bleeding damage.
It was unclear how Poison Damage was calculated; cutting eight thousand HP and poisoning for a thousand seemed high, but with only one instance of damage. If it were Bleeding for three instances, it would total two thousand four hundred HP, so Bleeding damage appeared to be higher for now...
What seemed like a lengthy explanation had actually happened in just a moment. When the Fire Patterned Ant realized that this tiny creature was actually on its head, it couldn't bear it anymore, starting to swing its claws and feelers, trying to knock Wang Tao off.
Wang Tao firmly held onto the root of the Fire Patterned Ant's feelers with the vines, keeping himself from being thrown off, and then he used the Death Scythe to make several more cuts, all using high-frequency vibration.
Each cut inflicted damage around eight or nine thousand.
It seemed this was the approximate damage range for the Death Scythe.
Then, Wang Tao could no longer maintain his stance and was thrown off, landing next to He Jijun.
He Jijun reached out, supporting Wang Tao's back, and stopped his retreat.
Wang Tao immediately handed the sickle to He Jijun.
"Old He, try this weapon when you get a chance!"
"Okay!"
For most weapons, the sickle had a rather odd shape, and He Jijun was slightly unaccustomed to it.
