Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 495 - 372_2
When the Dragon Baby charged into battle, the Goblin Warrior’s information appeared before Mo Qingchen’s eyes. Apart from decent skills, its attributes were absolute trash.
The soft attributes of the Howling Cave are higher than this guy, and yet it’s still considered a mini-boss. From his perspective, this creature isn’t even qualified to be a filler.
Bosses: You should quit the group; you’re dragging down the standard of bosses~
Looking at the Dragon Baby that can take on the mini-boss single-handedly, Mo Qingchen for the first time felt that the Velociraptor he had always despised was actually quite powerful.
Flanking the Goblin Warrior, he first drew a card, then aimed the alloy saber at its somewhat meaty rear, and stabbed fiercely.
With a miserable howl, a blood-red critical damage "-24" suddenly appeared above the boss’s head.
That’s right, Mo Qingchen discovered another noteworthy piece of information.
Dungeon monsters have weak spots for critical hits, parts easier to target, such as the rear, eyes, etc.
The reason he didn’t experiment in the Howling Cave was firstly due to his trash attributes; the alloy saber poked the eyes, yet the monsters evaded.
The second reason was using a cage for stacking, making these techniques hard to execute.
This ambush stab instantly attracted the furious gaze of the Goblin Warrior, whose thick tree stick came smashing down at Mo Qingchen’s head.
A lazy donkey roll dodged the boss’s attack, and without hesitation, he began a strategic retreat, hoping the Dragon Baby would continue to draw its anger.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work!
The boss, with its rear exploded, fell into a frenzy of fury, seeing only Mo Qingchen’s figure in its blood-red eyes, completely ignoring the biting of the Dragon Baby behind.
System, screw you!
Setting a weak spot attack and you mother* setting the aggro system right!
Isn’t it just an exploded rear?
Is it worth holding a deep grudge and refusing to let go?
Goblin Warrior, you’re walking a narrow path; it’s going to get you killed!
Ignoring the existence of the Dragon Baby is fatal, as the Velociraptor kept biting the Goblin Warrior and clawing madly, it was nearing death.
With the Dragon Baby tugging, Mo Qingchen calmly escaped the boss’s attack range, while watching the Goblin Warrior struggle desperately to continue chasing him.
Until this boss’s health bar hit zero, it never turned back to attack the Dragon Baby even once, as if it had deemed Mo Qingchen its lifelong partner, determined to finish him off.
Three cards floated above the Goblin Warrior’s corpse, among which one emitted a faint green light—wasn’t it a Promotion Certificate Card?
Promotion Card·Excellent Template (Green): Personal binding, non-tradable, can be used to promote Magic Card Master to Excellent Template, breaking 10-level lock; Ordinary Servant Card (White) uses this card, 3 can promote to Excellent Template, breaking 10-level lock.
[Note: Each person can hold only one per dungeon!]
So, this thing is quite valuable, and forming random teams for dungeons is a big risk!
Looking at this newly appeared type card, he opened his Attribute Panel and used it.
The original white striped frame panel instantly emitted spots of green light, and the original level and experience display lock had disappeared.

Taking out the shield gifted by Big Turtle Kresh, inserting it into the equipment slot, invincible at the same level!
It’s just a green shield, physical defense off the charts, with such attributes, white low-level dungeons have no monsters that can break its defense, truly unstoppable.
The only frustration for Mo Qingchen is that the shield is quite large, half-height and one-person width, requiring two hands to hold it freely.
Equipping this thing means he can’t use the alloy saber, which is why he didn’t use this equipment when entering the Goblin Treehouse dungeon.
He wasn’t ready to become a meat shield.
Picked up the other two cards dropped by the boss.
Equipment Card: Tree Stick (White): Two-Handed Blunt Weapon, equips to Physical Attack +10 points.
[Note: Striking the head has a peculiar effect]
Equipment Card: Pig Skin Armor (White): Equip to Physical Defense +5 points.
Fair enough, although it’s not the most valuable Servant Card or Skill Card, it’s not trash either, can fetch a good price at a roadside stall.
Opening the backpack space, looking at the draw card provided by the boss, Mo Qingchen’s face instantly flushed.
He felt that he was truly destined to be a lucky star!
Otherwise, how did he draw this Servant Card?

"Gannian! System, I don’t know how to tell you my MMP!"
Damn, even decimals came out, this is still a boss template!
Can’t you show it a little respect?
Moreover, why is this thing summoned at Level 1, while the Velociraptor is summoned at Level 10?
A boss weaker than even Little Soft, what’s the use of having you?!
Someone muttered curses while inserting this Servant Card into his Card Skill Bar, reluctantly summoning this green skin.
Delicious~!
Then someone inserted the equipment card just dropped by the boss into the Goblin Warrior’s card slot, instantly converting its Physical Damage to 0~11, Physical Defense to 6.
GO! GO! GO!
There are three more dungeons waiting for him to reap rewards, today he’s proven his lucky star fate, naturally needing to push harder to farm more good stuff.
Second dungeon—Wild Goblin Lair.
With an extra fighter, although only Level 1, with the Dragon Baby leading the way, the Goblin Warrior only needed to follow up with a finishing blow.
Against the 1~8 level small monsters in the dungeon, they lacked life force and defense, truly a sweep.
However, Mo Qingchen noticed that monsters lower leveled than him provided very little experience, and those 5 levels lower offered none.
When they barged into the deepest part of the lair, a Grizzly Goblin appeared in front of them, the final boss.
Compared to the thin and muscular Goblin Warrior, this figure was tall and fat, with a bear face, appearing quite fierce, though the cards to draw were the same as the Goblin Warrior: 5 white, 10 grey.
The Dragon Baby charged valiantly, and Mo Qingchen noticed, this too was a disgrace to the boss species.
Compared to the previous dungeon boss, this green skin was slightly stronger, yet still no match for the Dragon Baby.
What’s more, this time Mo Qingchen didn’t stand idly, but rushed forward right behind the Dragon Baby from the start.
Same routine, first using the alloy saber to explode the Grizzly Goblin’s rear, then withdrawing the knife to wield the shield, hard resisting the boss’s attacks.
Even though the Grizzly Goblin was slightly stronger than the Goblin Warrior, it was very limited. With Mo Qingchen wielding the Turtle Shield, as long as it could withstand the opponent’s attacks, it enabled zero damage.
The Turtle Shield’s 100 Physical Defense is no decoration, after blocking successfully, it adds up with his other physical defense bonuses.
