Chapter 411: Chapter 410 New Talent [Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed)]

"Right now, I should just go and kill that Big Saber Goblin lying there sleeping..." Zhang Yanhang was quite curious about what he would obtain from the Drop treasure box of the Big Saber Goblin.

Since he was close by, Zhang Yanhang took only two seconds to reach the Big Saber Goblin’s location, and the Big Saber Goblin sleeping on the ground remained utterly unaware of Zhang Yanhang’s arrival, not reacting in the slightest.

There wasn’t the expected scenario where it would immediately wake up, turn around, and deliver a slash at Zhang Yanhang’s calf or knee.

While the Big Saber Goblin was still sleeping, Zhang Yanhang silently began to check its Attribute list, a habit of looking at the Attribute list before dealing with monsters that he had long cultivated.

[Big Saber Goblin (Elite)]

[Level: First Tier 1-star]

[Talent: 1. Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed). 2. Dragon Vein Goblin (Big Saber Goblin).]

[Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed): When launching a Physical Attack, can choose to consume Energy Value to add an additional 10% Lightning damage and has a 1% chance to cause a 0.5-second paralysis effect on the enemy. Energy value limit +7.5%.]

[Dragon Vein Goblin (Big Saber Goblin): A big-sized Goblin from the mid-sized Goblin tribe ’Nu Feng Tribe’ under the large Goblin tribe ’Nu Mountain Tribe’ separated from the Dragon Vein Goblin Kingdom ’Akbar Shaler’, possessing a thin and mixed Giant Dragon Bloodline in its body. The most outstanding part of the Giant Dragon Bloodline comes from an adult Blue Dragon that controls the power of Lightning.

Although it is a Dragon Vein Goblin, the Big Saber Goblin can only control a small part of the Lightning Power for attack purposes due to the thin and mixed bloodline in its body, but even that small part is already powerful enough for an ordinary Goblin.

As the lowest level of Dragon Vein Goblins, they are assigned by the Goblin Chief of the Nu Mountain Tribe to guard the Outer Zone of the Goblin Plain. They hold multiple responsibilities and are tasked with scouting, early warning, combat, and gathering food, but the Big Saber Goblins, who are by nature lazy, prefer to take life easy (slacking off).

Due to the strength derived from their Giant Dragon Bloodline, Big Saber Goblins are much stronger than ordinary Goblins in physique. Standing 1.3 meters tall as opposed to the mere meter tall ordinary Goblins who can’t even defeat an average adult, Big Saber Goblins are undoubtedly the strongmen among Goblin groups, capable of effortlessly killing an ordinary adult or even a well-trained soldier.]

[Life Value: 135/135]

[Energy Value: 65/65]

[Strength: 11]

[Agility: 13]

[Constitution: 9]

[Intelligence: 6]

[Charm: 1]

[Skill: 1. Escape. 2. Quick Slash. 3. Lightning Double Strike.]

[Escape: When faced with powerful enemies or other insurmountable situations, Big Saber Goblins often scatter and flee. Upon entering ’Escape’ status, movement speed increases by 10%. No cool down, minor physical strength consumption.]

[Quick Slash: Although the Big Saber Goblin wields a large saber, it is not particularly skilled in using this weapon. Often, they will simply swarm their enemy and hack wildly, killing them in a frenzy of blows, increasing attack speed by 10%. No cool down, minor physical strength consumption.]

[Lightning Double Strike: The Big Saber Goblin adds lightning power to its saber and slashes rapidly at the enemy twice in succession, with the first slash causing 105% physical damage and the second slash causing 115% physical damage.

If a hit is successful, each slash will also deal an additional 15% lightning damage. One minute cooldown, 30 energy points consumed.]

"The first two skills ’Escape’ and ’Quick Slash’ are indeed active skills, but they are quite similar to passive skills, increasing attack speed and movement speed by 10% respectively.

The Big Saber Goblin’s third skill ’Lightning Double Strike’ is a proper attack skill. Including the 15% lightning damage, the first slash can inflict a total of 120% damage, and the second slash can cause 130% damage, accumulating a total damage of 250%."

After a brief review of the Big Saber Goblin’s skills, Zhang Yanhang felt that although they seemed impressive at first glance, these were actually the weakest among the three types of monsters he had seen so far.

Because not only does Lightning Double Strike consume energy, but it also uses up thirty points of energy, which, with the Big Saber Goblin’s energy value limit of sixty-five points, means it can only be used twice at most. Moreover, it comes with a one-minute cooldown.

From this perspective, the Crimson Iron Ant from the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu is superior, as their fireball spitting and acid spraying mainly consume physical strength and not much energy.

Furthermore, and this is key, the Crimson Iron Ant’s fireball and acid spray have no cooldown and can be continuously unleashed. Combined with the significant advantage of low-altitude flight and ranged attack, Crimson Iron Ants can easily defeat Goblins.

As for the T-virus infected in Raccoon City, they are even less comparable. Although ordinary zombies lack any proper skills, using nothing but scratching and biting.

However, starting with the Beta-type Hunter, they gained the Death Claw skill, whose armor penetration damage ignores defensive power so effectively that even now Zhang Yanhang has no way to defend against it other than consuming shield value to withstand the blows.

After inspecting the Big Saber Goblin’s attribute list, Zhang Yanhang was actually more interested not in its skill list, but in its Talent.

"Well, what do you call this? A windfall. I was just saying I needed to make an effort to find a way to increase my energy value limit, and now here it is right in front of me.

Even the initial state of ’Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed)’ can add 7.5% to the energy value limit. After acquiring this Talent, won’t my energy value limit skyrocket with just a casual upgrade?"

While that ability to add lightning damage seemed somewhat pointless, Zhang Yanhang didn’t really need it, but just for that extra effect of increasing the energy value limit, he felt it was essential to acquire and use the ’Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed)’ Talent.

By the way, the reason why the ability to add lightning damage was deemed by Zhang Yanhang as underwhelming was mainly because he had a more practical Spiritual Qi Blessing. With the same energy value, he could easily increase his strength by at least double with Spiritual Qi Blessing. Isn’t that much better than any lightning damage?
