I smiled and looked at Flying Fire. "Brother, since you have decided to join Snow Moon, let me introduce myself!
I am one of the seven members of Xue Yue Studio, Scholar. I am also an employee of Breeze That Embraces the Moon and Breeze Flying Snow. For now, I am a gamer who works for gold and equipment.
What about you? "
Flying Fire smiled slightly and said with some embarrassment, "Me... my level is not low, and my equipment is passable, a set of Silver-grade equipment. I have never joined a large guild, but I have learned a set of PK escape skills. Previously, I couldn't survive in the beginner village, so I decided to come out to Muguang City with my subordinates. In truth, I should be categorized as an 'expert' with no equipment, no skills, and no gold. I have a cheerful personality, 55% luck, and not honest. However, I am naturally timid, and I can't do anything to a death in the wild. Overall, I belong to the category of people who are beneficial to Spirit of Grief and Eternal Moon Corporation."
I laughed. "You're honest enough!
Then, welcome to Snow Moon. I will act as the leader of Snow Moon and take you in!
When we get a Guild Creation Token or buy a Guild Creation Token, you can join us with your brothers from Flying Fire! "
As I spoke, I sent in a friend request.
Flying Fire was flattered and added me as a friend. Then he turned around and introduced, "These are my brothers, hardcore brothers who have been together for many games!"
I nodded and said with a smile, "Hello everyone!
Thank you for your help in the battle against Blooddrinker just now! "
Everyone nodded in unison. "Boss Scholar is too polite!"
I stilled. Unknowingly, my identity seemed to have been elevated.
Flying Fire laughed in a small voice. "Boss Scholar, tell us, are Breeze That Embraces the Moon and Breeze Flying Snow twins?"
I smiled slightly. "What?"
Flying Fire laughed. "Nothing, I just wanted to ask. If our Flying Fire Alliance could work for these two girls who are known as the number one beauties of the China server, we would feel proud!"
I immediately understood. "Hehe, this, you will naturally understand in the future …"
After I said that, I looked back at the tunnel and said, "Since everyone has accepted the Tomb of Terror quest, let's do it together. It's getting late, and it's time to sleep after staying up for so long. But … it seems like it'll take a long time to get rid of this red name …"
Flying Fire's name was also red, but he didn't care and smiled. "It doesn't matter. Boss, you can fall back to level zero. We can't be timid. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Snow Moon's prestige in Muguang City?"
I smiled. "Is Snow Moon really that famous in Muguang City?"
Flying Fire laughed. "Of course. Not to mention Muguang City, even in the eight tier 2 cities of the China server, Snow Moon's reputation is like the sun in the sky. With the world's most beautiful mage and swordsman, and also you, the mysterious expert Frivolous Scholar, as well as the famous Sword Fire Team, Snow Moon is actually already famous. In Muguang City, the only power that can stop Blooddrinker and Prideful is Snow Moon. This is also the reason why us brothers and I really want to join Snow Moon!"
I was stunned. I didn't think that Snow Moon was already so famous.
But I couldn't be blamed. As the flag of Snow Moon, Ling Xue and Ling Yue, screenshots of them in game had already spread online. These two girls were breathtakingly beautiful. As advertisements, the influence of beauties was really terrifying!
Thus, I formed a party and pulled the seven people from Flying Fire into the party. I then led the way into the tomb. Flying Fire ordered a level 37 Priest, "Follow up and pay attention to Boss Scholar's health. Don't let him die!"
Like this, the difficulty of completing this quest was much lower.
Corpses of Corpse Eaters littered the tunnel. This caused the players from Flying Fire to click their tongues. After all, these Corpse Eaters were over Level 50, and the players from Flying Fire couldn't see their levels at all. But I, a Level 38 player, was able to move around alone. This was enough to make people look at me in a new light.
I worked together with Flying Fire and killed the remaining Corpse Eaters along the way. After that, we arrived in front of the last inscription. After everyone checked it one by one, the wall in front of us suddenly moved. The cold black wall gradually turned into a blue screen of light.
The berserkers walking in front of us were stunned. I smiled and stepped in. My vision brightened, and I found myself in a narrow space. In front of me, a transparent white figure was forming!
There was a soft sound, and the people from Flying Fire walked in. When they saw the white figure, Flying Fire said in surprise, "This is the boss we need to kill, right?"
As soon as the voice fell, the figure had officially taken shape. It was a white-robed mage holding a magic staff. However, what was surprising was that this white-robed mage's face had withered, and only his black and white eyes showed that he was still a living creature!
[Evil Light Mage Ruman] (Silver-grade Boss)
Level: 55
Magic Attack: 420 ~ 550
Defense: 120
HP: 150000
Passive: A former Light Mage. In order to pursue greater power, he degenerated his soul and willingly traded his conscience for the power of darkness. Passive Skills: Holy Execution, Dark Punishment...
I immediately sent the boss's stats to the party, and Flying Fire and the others sucked in a breath of cold air. They had probably never encountered a boss of this level before. I, on the other hand, was much calmer. Even the Dark Gold – grade Ghost General had fallen to my hands, so a Silver-grade boss like this was nothing to me.
Therefore, I ordered, "This mage only has 150,000 HP. All melee players, surround him! Priests, heal him!"
A few melee players immediately rushed forward and hacked at the boss with their swords and battle axes. For a moment, the boss's HP dropped rapidly!
But this Silver-grade mage boss clearly wasn't going to sit and wait for death. He raised his magic staff and chanted a cryptic incantation. A moment later, a few rays of black light fell like rain and enveloped the three swordsmen at the front!
Combat Log: Please note, Evil Light Mage Ruman is using the skill "Dark Punishment"!
… …
Puff puff puff!
Three consecutive numbers popped up above the three swordsmen's heads: "1569! 1784! 2403!"
In fact, the Level 35 swordsman on the right couldn't withstand 2403 damage at all. He turned into white light and returned to the city. Fortunately, his name wasn't red, or he would've lost a lot of levels.
Flying Fire was dumbfounded. "Fuck!
This boss is so strong! "
I smiled and threw Total Annihilation with my Bloodthirst Spear. At this moment, a basic attack was even more powerful!
"Peng peng", Total Annihilation dealt more than 2000 damage to the Boss. Immediately after, Frost Energy was condensed into a huge icicle. The dazzling blue light caused the surrounding players to be stunned. Each and every one of them revealed an expression of yearning.
Boom!
“1804！”
Not only was Ice Wind Thrust beautiful, its attack power also made everyone's eyes widen.
Flying Fire asked, "Boss, what's the origin of this move?"
I knocked away the boss's staff with my spear and said with a smile, "It's the same skill as swordsmen, a physical attack skill. Can't you see?"
Flying Fire was shocked. "Aren't you an archer?
How did you become a melee player? "
I laughed heartily and opened up my title. I saw the words "Trainee Dragon Speaker" glowing faintly under my in-game name in green.
"Ah!
It's a hidden class! "
Flying Fire and the surrounding players' jaws dropped. They murmured, "No wonder it's so strong!
Boss Scholar, if we follow you in the future, we'll definitely live well! "
I laughed out loud, "Not me, you're following Breeze That Embraces the Moon and Breeze That Flies Snow. They're the real masters of Snow Moon and I'm just a general under their command. If I follow them, we'll all be able to eat and drink together, haha!"
Flying Fire and the others also showed happy expressions.
At this time, after the boss threw a fireball, he waved his staff again. This time, it turned into a holy light that suddenly rippled around the surroundings!
I felt a sharp pain and my HP dropped by almost a thousand!
Combat Log: Evil Light Mage Lu Man used "Holy Execution", dealing 984 damage to you!
… …
Swhoosh swhoosh!
Two streaks of white light flew into the air, and a mage and a priest behind us were instantly killed. The other berserkers and swordsmen were also in a sorry state. Their HP fell below half, and they hurriedly drank health potions.
I smiled and ordered, "You guys go out and heal up before coming back. I'll tank for a while!"
The four melee players all retreated. Only Flying Fire drank a potion and continued to attack with me. The good thing was that this mage-type boss didn't have much HP to begin with. After being beaten up by our group, it had already dropped to around half!
I looked up and said, "This boss should have a cooldown between each Holy Execution. As long as we use it well, we won't die again."
Flying Fire nodded. "Yes!"
Not even two minutes later, the four melee players outside flashed in again. I had also used up a lot of health potions in my bag. The BOSS's 550 magic attack was no joke. Almost every time it hit me, I would lose almost a thousand health. The good thing was that Total Annihilation had a 50% chance of interrupting the target's spellcasting. Under Flying Fire and I's continuous bombardment, the BOSS's chances of attacking weren't very high.
A few minutes later, the boss used Dark Retribution again. With a flash of white light, another weak swordsman was killed!
At the same time, the Bloodthirst Spear in my hand glowed red and exploded with Total Annihilation. The boss, who was already low on HP, immediately fell to the ground with a scream!
However, the boss didn't die. His fallen body turned into threads of demonic red light and silently disappeared into the air!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has defeated the Silver – grade boss Evil Light Mage Lu Man. You have gained 75000 EXP and 250 Reputation!
… …
On the ground, there was a shining metal helmet. There were also five staves next to it, one for each of the five of us.
However, Flying Fire's players tacitly didn't go forward. Flying Fire said with a smile, "Boss, go and see what equipment you have!"
I nodded with a smile and went forward to pick up the helmets and staves. I kept one for myself and threw the rest to Flying Fire. I said with a smile, "You guys split this. My goal is only to complete the quest!"
I didn't even look at the stats of the metal helmet before throwing it to Flying Fire. This showed my generosity as a core member of Xue Yue Studio. On the other hand, a Silver-grade boss only dropped a Silver-grade armor. In reality, I didn't care too much about it. After all, if a Silver-grade equipment wasn't a set, it wouldn't be as effective as the Bronze-grade set I was wearing. I could still count on it.
As expected, Flying Fire was moved. He looked at the Silver-grade helmet in his hand and said excitedly, "Boss Scholar, you can use this helmet too..."
I smiled. "No need. You keep it. I'm going to turn in the quest and grind my red name for a while. Rest early, brothers and sisters!"
Flying Fire nodded vigorously. "Thank you, boss!"
I turned around and left. I felt a bit embarrassed. Using a Silver-grade metal helmet to buy people's hearts was a bit too small a price.
When I arrived at the main hall of the tomb, the injured NPC soldier was still lying on the ground. When I handed him the quest item, the staff, he immediately said with great joy, "Brave warrior, you really defeated that evil mage. That's great!
This is your reward! "
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have completed the quest [Tomb of Terror's Plot]. You have gained 300000 EXP, 200 gold, 500 Reputation, and the quest reward [Whirlwind Slash]!
… …
Whirlwind Slash!
I was overjoyed. I immediately opened my bag and found the skill book —
[Whirlwind Slash]: Uses wind energy to deal 120% -180% damage to the target. Deals 50% -80% damage to all enemies around the target.
Level Requirement: 35
… …
Whirlwind Slash didn't have a class requirement, but I saw that it was "learnable". I immediately clicked to use it. An item immediately appeared in my skill window — [Whirlwind Slash] (Beginner): Proficiency 10000\ 0, MP Cost: 20.
… …
I was overjoyed. I had gained another active skill. My strength had increased once again!
I walked out of the Tomb of Terror and picked a random Bone Devil. I used Whirlwind Slash with the Bloodthirst Spear. Immediately, the spear turned into a white shadow that reflected a few transparent gusts of wind around me. It swept across the Bone Devil's chest!
“1782！”
The super high damage number stunned me. I followed it up with a round of Total Annihilation and Ice Wind Thrust. This completed a three-hit combo, and the Bone Devil's HP was instantly emptied. One basic attack and I got experience!
