Reborn: Super God of War 184 The Mysterious Door

'What the heck! I got stuck in someone's butt?! Shit! I really landed myself in a big piece of "shit" now!'

Even if no one saw what happened, he still felt deeply traumatized by this turn of events! Lin Jie attacked the surrounding crystals vehemently but was greeted with a few rebound sounds coupled with damage figures of 100+ points. The body of the Crystal Giant was extremely hard, and the same applied for, cough, its buttocks. It was considered lucky that his attacks still worked.

Dong! Dong!

The gold-tiered Boss Crystal Giant finally felt something wrong, and it knocked upon its surroundings more forcefully. The crystallized pillars which crashed down to the ground split into several pieces, and buried the Crystal Giant even deeper!

Lin Jie witnessed in horror as the skies above his head got narrower and narrower until it disappeared completely.

He felt utterly hopeless. 'I am going to be stuck here… forever!'

Other wild thoughts ran through Lin Jie's mind the next moment. 'Well, since the Crystal Giant had an anus, he should undergo the process of metabolism too… shouldn't he? He needs to pass out some stuff, needn't he?'

A famous Chinese saying popped up in his mind: 'Magnanimous Sir, just treat me like a piece of shit and poop me out at your convenience!'

Lin Jie couldn't care less if the whole process would be disgusting… So long as he could get out of here! He began striking out crazily at the interior of the Crystal Giant's buttocks, which had zero defense capabilities. Both the Thunderbolt Sword and Broken Blade slashed against the crystals and reflected bright light against their blades.

-595!

-514!

-585!

…

The Crystal Giant, who lost any defense against Lin Jie was like a piece of meat on the chopping board. As all knew, the strongest points about a giant were its health points and strong defense capabilities. Now, Lin Jie was like a hungry leech which it could not get rid of, and he was depleting the Crystal Giant's health points for all he liked.

Ang—

Listening to the painful yells made by the giant, Lin Jie knew he had indeed hurt him greatly.

As he was trapped in a very private part of the giant's body, he was not in any imminent danger. Lin Jie made use of the opportunity to look at the things he got from the Treasure chest.

[Mysterious Key]: It seems like this can open a certain door?

Was this a mission's reward? To be honest, there seemed to be only one door in the Crystals Ruins, and therefore, this key…? However there was a layer of Space Magic array on the surface of the door, and anyone who came into contact with the door would be sent to the external lava cave. Hence, since Lin Jie's previous life, all the players who had come to this map had naturally concluded that this door was a special Teleportation door designed by the system for them.

Now, it seemed like this door was designed for other purposes. Yet Lin Jie had not heard anyone mention about this in his previous life.

Amidst the rays of light reflected from the collisions of Broken Blade and the crystals, Lin Jie caught sight of something falling down! He thrust out Broken Blade against the crystals again, and making use of the brief gleam of reflected light, Lin Jie quickly scanned the surroundings. He discovered in shock that there was a black stone nearby his feet.

Being in such an environment, Lin Jie couldn't help but form a thought, 'Surely… this is not the giant's poop?'

Muttering curses and complaints at the system beneath his breath, Lin Jie picked up the stone and checked its attributes.

—'You received a restless magic stone.'

[Restless Magic Stone]: This will take effect at once when you put it in your backpack. When you use Elemental Magics and Arcane Magics, there will be a 10% chance of failure rate.

'What kind of rubbish item is this!' cursed Lin Jie silently. Which fool would use an item with negative effects?

Trapped and depressed, Lin Jie struck out numerous times at the Crystal Giant's body. The 200,000 health points which the Crystal Giant had at first were depleted quickly under Lin Jie's attacks.

The Silver-Feathered Eagle continued circling the skies outside and allowed Lin Jie to see what was happening. The Crystal Giant's health bar was almost emptied. The moment it was killed, the Crystal Giant would most probably split into numerous pieces, and even a single piece of its body could then crush Lin Jie to death!

Fortunately, through the Silver-Feathered Eagle's eyes, Lin Jie discovered an angle which he could escape from if the giant was being cut open in a slanted manner!

Putting Thunderbolt Sword into his backpack, Lin Jie held onto Broken Blade with both of his hands. His muscles bulged out, and Blood Power filled up Broken Blade. A lengthy arc of blood gushed out from the tip of Broken Blade—Lin Jie activated Blood Soul Multi-Slash and aimed Broken Blade above his head!

-3,598!

-3,685!

With the two massive Damage Dealt, a clean-cut appeared on the Crystal Giant's body! Lin Jie thrust Broken Blade forcefully into the Crystal Giant's limp body, and using the reaction force, he leaped up high into the air and rushed out when the remaining crystallized pillars crashed down!

Ding~

——'You have killed the world-class Boss Crystal Giant. The system announcement is about to be published. Do you wish to hide your name?'

"No!"

——'System announcement: Congratulations to player "Codename Lone Wolf". He has the first clear of the world-class Boss, the Crystal Giant. He is rewarded with 180,000 EXP for the First clear mission, 2 gold coins, 100 Guild of Light reputation points and an additional 1 free Stat point!'

On a separate note, the EXP Lin Jie received for killing the Boss alone was as much as 850,000 points. Out of which, a whopping 80,000 EXP points was rewarded to him due to the effects from the EXP Gem. His EXP bar increased by as much as 19%!

Lin Jie stood beside the Crystal Giant's corpse. When the Silver-Feathered Eagle saw him return safely, it flew down and expressed its excitement in a method it thought was dearest to humans—by kissing Lin Jie on his cheeks using its sharp beak! Lin Jie nearly threw the little fellow out!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

The Crystal Giant had broken apart into numerous pieces. These crystal pieces were the prototypes of the worst kind of gems. If he could take the whole of the Crystal Giant's body back, maybe he could smelt it and produce a few good gems from the giant's body…

However, when Lin Jie thought of the number of gold coins he had to spend on renting the massive transport vehicles, he felt this was not worth it.

Within the midst of all the crystal pieces, a few different-colored gems sparkled brightly.

Lin Jie felt as if tears would rush out of his eyes at any time. 'Finally, it isn't the Flying Feather Gem anymore!'

——'You received a Critical Hit Gem.'

——'You received a Health Enhancement Gem.'

——'You received a Flying Feather Gem.'

——'You received a Flying Feather Gem (Modified).'

This particular Critical Hit Gem could increase 2% Critical strike chance, while the Health Enhancement Gem could permanently increase players' health points by 100 points. These were good items. However, the appearance of the Modified Gem surprised Lin Jie the most.

[Flying Feather Gem (Modified)]: This can increase 4% of your Movement Speed and 3% of your Jumping abilities.

Modified Gems were rare species within the gem family. Essentially, they were gems which had the power of another gem, coupled with their own attributes. Modified Gems were extremely rare, and in Lin Jie's previous life the most famous Modified Gem he had ever heard of was a gem named as the "Blooming Blood." This was a Modified Critical Hit Gem—other than the attributes of 8% Critical strike chance, it could also increase one's Attack Power by 100 points. This was the best gem within all of The New Age, and in the end, it had been bought away by a rich guy for keepsake purposes.

Lin Jie decided he would definitely make good use of this particular gem. Increase in Jumping abilities was a great attribute after all. Coupled with the Feather Drop spell and Flying Feather Gems, Lin Jie would be able to reach many places which others couldn't get to.

Taking out the key, Lin Jie's heart began beating excitedly!

The reason why people looked forward to exploration was due to their desire to discover the unknown! Lin Jie was just like them—although he could remember a lot of information about The New Age from his previous life, he was still most attracted to discovering mysterious places in The New Age!

That door which no one had opened in his previous life—perhaps he could be the one to open it now!

Lin Jie walked into the refreshed Crystals Ruins and stood in front of the gigantic door which had an abstract carving of a non-existent handle on it. He pondered for a while, took out the key and reached out towards the door…

As soon as the key touched the door, a great Space spiral appeared and sucked Lin Jie into it! When he next opened his eyes, he found himself standing outside the Cave of Crystals—the external cave which was normally filled with gushing lava!

What's worst, he felt heat emanating from his back—the lava had exploded!

"Wth!" Lin Jie ran towards the cave's entrance. Outside the cave, the clear blue skies greeted him… with the Red Lizard which had opened its mouth wide, waiting to be fed!

The Red Lizard had widened its mouth like usual and was waiting for the lava to flow into its mouth in a bored manner. However, it did not expect that a Warrior donned in metal armor would rush towards it, following which this Warrior's Broken Blade cut off almost half of its tongue! The Red Lizard hurriedly closed its mouth in pain, and Lin Jie made use of this opportunity to run out of the cave!

At this moment, the lava arrived!

The gushing lava smacked right into the Red Lizard and threw its crimson body to a side. The Red Lizard tried to regain balance again, and anger flashed past its eyes. However, the most important thing to it now was to feast on the lava… It opened its mouth and began to gulp down the gushing lava. When it finished drinking and decided to start hunting that reckless human being, it discovered that he had already run too far away. It stared at Lin Jie's retreating figure and roared furiously, but a question popped up in its mind: why did this human being crawled inside the cave again?

When Lin Jie was running out of the cave, he had suddenly thought of an idea. As such, though he had already left the cave safely, he went back inside the cave again while the Red Lizard lapped up the lava!

'That Magic Stone! Doesn't that Magic Stone have some chances of blocking Magic? Perhaps this is the most important tool in opening the door!'

It would be good to try out his theory anyway. After all, according to Lin Jie's understanding of the game, the system would not give the players an item that had negative effects on such an important hidden map! That Magic Stone must have some other uses!

Lin Jie got inside the Cave of Crystals and stomped hard to break the ground. He entered the Crystals Ruins and stood in front of the magical door again.

This time round, he held the stone in his hand and calmed himself down as he stepped forward to the door slowly… A peculiar Mana wave surrounded his fingertips—his deductions were correct!

After all, this was a hidden map—thus, it made sense that one of the tools to open the door would be hidden on the Crystal Giant's neck, while the other one was hidden within its buttocks. The process of gathering these tools would, of course, be of extreme difficulty! However, great trials came with great rewards—this made Lin Jie extra curious as to what could be hidden behind the door.

Lin Jie drew in a sharp breath, and muttered excitedly, "The hidden secret, reveal yourse——WTF!"

Just when the Magic Stone was about to eliminate the magic array in front of the door, Lin Jie got dizzy. When he could finally make sense of his surroundings, he discovered that he was standing at the lava cave's entrance again!

Hola—

The gushing lava rushed to before his eyes! Lin Jie screamed and ran like a maniac towards the cave's entrance. The remaining half of the Red Lizard's tongue entered his sight again. Lin Jie slashed out with Broken Blade and yelled, "Scram!"

The poor Red Lizard—its entire tongue was cut off by Lin Jie! It closed its mouth in pain and was thrown out by the rushing lava again!

"Chance, it must be due to chance!" Lin Jie regained himself as he recalled that the Magic Stone would only have a 10% chance of resisting any magic. This meant that there would be a 10% chance of him opening the door!

He must persevere!

While Lin Jie was urging himself on mentally, the Red Lizard finally decided it couldn't stand this human being anymore. The first time he came, this human tripped it; the second time he came, he cut off half of its tongue; the third time he came, he cut off its entire tongue! Who—or what creature could stand this treatment! It gave up on feasting on the lava and charged straight at Lin Jie!

However, the tongue-less Red Lizard had also lost its best long-ranged weapon. Lin Jie was unafraid of it anymore. Instead, he stepped onto its head, and using the great reaction force that was produced, Lin Jie sprinted towards the interior of the lava cave!

…

For the following nine hours that passed, Lin Jie repeated the process of entering the ruins, failing, entering the ruins again and failing again. His lack of luck was portrayed fully—just for that 10% chance of being able to open the door, he had repeated the process for more than 100 times!

On a side note, this incident also showed how stubborn he could get. He persevered and kept running forward just like the main lead in the movie "Forrest Gump," never giving up—no, he was even more extreme than that!

His efforts did pay him off eventually!

It didn't mean that he managed to open the magical door, but… after the multiple rounds of running away from the lava and giving the Red Lizard a hard slash each time, this Boss was finally killed by him!

——'Congratulations for leveling up to Level 21! You have received 5 free Stat points and 2 fixed Stat points.'

Lin Jie looked at the golden light which surrounded his body, and couldn't decide if he should laugh or cry.
