Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 791: Revised - 36 Innate Demon Technique_2

The rat demon didn’t dare refuse anymore and said to Xiao Jie, "Brave warrior, watch carefully, this Earth Tunneling Technique is like this—"

With that, he dived headfirst into the ground, much like diving into water. However, the ground instantly lost its solidity, and the Rat Captain disappeared entirely underground.

[System Prompt: Mouse King Hero has taught you an Innate Demon Technique—Earth Tunneling Technique. You have acquired a new skill, which you can check in the skill list.]

Xiao Jie quickly opened the skill bar and indeed found a new skill.

[Earth Tunneling Technique (Innate Demon Technique)

Usage: Tunnel into the ground, making your presence undetectable to enemies; consumes 30 Mana.

While moving in the tunneled state, movement speed is reduced by 50%, and 3 Mana is consumed per second.

Note 1: You cannot tunnel in special terrains like rocks, mineral veins, buildings, or swamps.

Note 2: While tunnelled, you consume breathing value. If it reaches zero and you do not return to the surface, you will start to lose Life Value continuously.

Skill Description: A mystical skill that the Rat Clan is famous for, allowing them to travel freely underground. Despite their low combat strength, this magic skill has helped them proliferate to this day, being an excellent survival and reconnaissance skill.]

"Well, did you learn it?"

"Yes, I learned it," Xiao Jie dragged the Earth Tunneling Technique into the skill bar and right-clicked. His character mimicked the demonstration and swiftly tunneled underground.

Meanwhile, a breathing bar appeared on the screen, just like when swimming. However, thanks to the Jiao Long Essence and the Water Manipulation Technique, Xiao Jie’s breathing bar was abnormally long, allowing him to stay underwater for an hour without problems.

However, the breathing bar for the Earth Tunneling Technique was much shorter, lasting only three minutes.

Nevertheless, a few minutes were enough for escaping or infiltrating.

Xiao Jie emerged from the ground, feeling quite satisfied.

Master Xiao Yue was somewhat surprised, "Hehe, you actually learned it. Alright, let’s continue."

The two then went to the military camp behind Gate City.

This camp housed a unit of heavy infantry responsible solely for defending the city gate. Should the gate fall, they had to hold the gate firmly.

This heavy infantry belonged to the Turtle Clan.

Each member wore Turtle Pattern Armor, short and stocky, appearing quite honest and simple.

However, even these honest fellows grew anxious upon hearing they had to teach the Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell Technique.

"Master Yue, you can’t be serious! This Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell Technique isn’t something to be taught casually. Our elders specifically instructed when we joined the military that it must never be taught, especially to those from the Jie Family, who must be guarded against."

"I understand. Your elder mentioned this to me, which is why I assigned the Jie Family to the navy. I already discussed this with your elder, and it’s agreed upon. Go ahead and teach it."

Captain Gui looked puzzled, "Really, Master Yue, you’re not tricking me, right? I didn’t read much, don’t fool me."

Master Xiao Yue’s face instantly turned stern, "Do you doubt my integrity? I am the State Governor of Canglin State’s Xiao Yue! How dare you doubt me? Such audacity!"

Captain Gui was so frightened that he quickly shook his head, "No, no, that’s not it. I’ll teach, I’ll teach... But this Innate Demon Technique is difficult; if he can’t learn it, don’t blame me."

"Just teach it. If he can’t learn it, it’s his own fault."

Captain Gui walked up to Xiao Jie, "Brave warrior, watch closely. This Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell Technique is used like this."

Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell Technique!

Hexagonal spirit patterns appeared around Captain Gui’s body, forming a turtle-shell-shaped shield that enveloped him.

[System Prompt: Captain Gui has taught you an Innate Demon Technique—Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell Technique. You have acquired a new skill, which you can check in the skill list.]

[Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell Technique (Innate Demon Technique)

Usage: Consumes 200 Mana to summon the Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell for protection. It provides a magical shield with 1200 Durability and 200 Defense, lasting for 30 seconds.

Note: The Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell can only be used once per day. If it breaks during a fight, it enters a damaged state and takes 7 days to reform.

Magic Skill: A mystical secret technique of the Xuan Turtle Clan, possessing extraordinary defense, able to withstand powerful attacks in battle.]

This spell was quite satisfying. Compared to the Lying Tiger Stone Form, the Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell lasted longer and still allowed for fighting after use, making it a divine survival skill.

As a fragile melee fighter, Xiao Jie usually relied on agility to dodge. With this skill, he could now withstand a round of attacks.

"So, did you learn it?"

"I did," Xiao Jie replied, but he didn’t use the skill. Given it could only be used once a day, it was best not to use it lightly.

"Let’s continue then."

Master Xiao Yue said, leading Xiao Jie to the supply camp behind Gate City.

"Doctor Xie, Doctor Xie, come out for a moment. I need your help."

"Well, well, what wind blew the Master here?"

A balding doctor with sparse hair walked out of the tent.

"Is there a wounded soldier to treat?"

"No, this man wants to learn the Inverted Horse Poison Stake Technique from you."

"Hehe, Master is kidding. How could this humble trick be worthy of your attention?"

"Cut the crap. Just say it, what do you want?" Master Xiao Yue seemed familiar with Doctor Xie.

"Hehe, Master is straightforward indeed. I heard you collected many demon corpses and captured some live ones today. I’ve been studying medicine and need materials. If you could allocate some demon captives to me..."

"No problem, I’ll have someone send them to you later."

"Haha, that would be great. But I’m running low on medicinal supplies in this tent. How about..."

"No problem, I’ll have someone send them too."

"Hehe, much appreciated, but..."

"Doctor Xie!" Master Xiao Yue’s voice suddenly jumped eight octaves.

Doctor Xie quickly said, "Alright, Master, don’t be angry. I’ll teach, I’ll teach. Young man, watch closely, I’ll only demonstrate once."

Doctor Xie suddenly turned around, and a virtual scorpion tail shot out from under his robe, striking at Xiao Jie with lightning speed.

Xiao Jie was startled. Due to the opponent’s speed and his lack of preparation, he couldn’t dodge in time.

Smack! He was hit directly.

The scorpion tail instantly disappeared, and a red number appeared above Xiao Jie’s head.

-1!

Huh... Just this?

[System Prompt: Doctor Xie has taught you an Innate Demon Technique—Inverted Horse Poison Stake Technique. You have acquired a new skill, which you can check in the skill list.]

Xiao Jie opened the skill bar and indeed found a new skill.

[Inverted Horse Poison Stake Technique (Innate Demon Technique)

Usage: A scorpion tail invisibly stabs at the enemy at high speed (consumes 50 Mana). Deals 33 points of physical damage and applies a poison effect, inflicting 66 poison damage over 20 seconds (poison damage scales with spell damage).

Note: If the enemy gets hit again in the poisoned state, the poison duration refreshes, and poison damage doubles.

When scorpion poison stacks three layers, the enemy gets paralyzed for 5 seconds; this effect cannot be continuously triggered.

Skill Description: Scorpion’s sting, wasp’s needle, the two deadliest poisons in the world.]

Just this... Damage is a bit low.

Good thing poison damage can accumulate. With three layers of scorpion poison plus spell damage, the damage is considerable.

Also, it has a paralysis effect, so it’s not entirely useless.

Moreover, the skill is very fast and hard to dodge at close range, another advantage. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Xiao Jie checked his blood volume. The lost 1 point was already restored.

With his bulletproof and immunity to poison traits, this skill had little effect on him.

However, using it against enemies, it was a decent DOT skill and control skill.
