When we passed through the southern forest of Muguang City, there was no doubt that we had unleashed a powerful shockwave on the forest. The girls of Xue Yue Studio were already as beautiful as clouds, and now there was the beautiful Zi Yun 'er. This was enough to one-shot any normal man. I, who was in the party, was so happy that I wanted to die.
A few wild deer passed by in front of us. I nocked my bow and was about to kill them to gain some experience, but Ling Xue grabbed my hand and said, "No, these deer are so cute. How can you bear to kill them?"
I said, "The skeletons in Graveyard of the Heroes are cute. Why don't you show them mercy?"
Ling Xue said, "That's because there's something wrong with your sense of beauty!"
I said, "If there was something wrong with my sense of beauty, I wouldn't have picked you up from downstairs …"
Ling Xue's face turned red.
Bing Cha asked curiously, "Eh?
Scholar picked up Ling Xue?
What's going on? Tell us! "
I said, "No, I'm afraid Ling Xue won't be able to take it …"
Ling Xue glared at me and said, "Why can't I? Hmph hmph, I'll just get drunk again and let someone else pick me up …"
I glared at her. "What?
Then I'll get drunk too and let someone else pick me up! "
Ling Xue smiled proudly. "Idiot, no one wants you ~ ~"
Iced Tea seemed to understand what was going on after listening to my explanation. She smiled but didn't say anything. Zi Yun 'er looked at me and then at Ling Xue. She smiled and said, "That's a lot of stories!"
Ling Yue was speechless. She said, "Can't you two be more obedient? Why don't you get drunk together and I'll pick you up? You're not allowed to talk from now on!"
The girls chuckled. Ling Xue shot me an annoyed look but continued to walk beside me.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the Withered Wood Shore. There was already a party grinding here, and it was none other than the party from Pop Culture that we had killed yesterday!
I immediately turned around and said, "Everyone, hide in the nearby forest. Don't act rashly. Let's see what these people are trying to do …"
Zi Yun 'er asked in surprise, "Aren't they leveling up?"
Ling Yue then explained what had happened yesterday. Zi Yun 'er immediately smiled and said, "Then … I'll get Xing Tian to bring people over?
He's been grinding for the past few days without PKing. His face has turned yellow … "
I smiled, "No need, we can solve this ourselves. As for PK, hehe, in a few days, let's organize a large scale team PK. Let's make Muguang City really lively!" "That's right," I smiled.
Zi Yun 'er smiled and nodded.
At this time, the players from Pop Culture had surrounded a Level 60 elite monster, Scarlet Eyed Sand Crocodile. A dozen or so of them attacked it in unison.
The Scarlet Eyed Sand Crocodile's attack power wasn't very high, but it still put two Level 41 berserkers of Pop Culture in a dangerous situation. It took a lot of effort and a berserker's life to kill the Sand Crocodile.
The Level 43 archer said in puzzlement, "Snow Moon's people aren't here. They seemed to be leveling here very easily yesterday, so why are we having so much trouble killing them?"
The mage said, "Their equipment is good and their levels are high!
Also, if a person is beautiful, the monster can't bear to eat them. Unlike us brothers, who have a face and a head, all of us are like that?
No wonder this crocodile looks like it wants to swallow us whole! "
The archer nodded and suddenly pointed to the front. "Boss, look!
There's a Gold Rank boss over there, but I can't see its level. Should we fight it? "
The mage's face was red. "Nonsense!
Don't tell me you don't understand the saying 'riches come from danger'?
Let's go! Snow Moon's people aren't here today, so they must've been killed by the boss. Brothers, kill this boss for me! It has Gold-grade equipment! "
After saying that, a group of Popular People House players rushed over!
After a while, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling could be heard. The moment the few melee players came into contact with the Fire Crocodile, the Boss unleashed its might. With one bite, it killed three Berserkers. With a swipe of its tail, it killed another Archer. When the Mage boss tried to escape, the Fire Crocodile opened its mouth and attacked with its saliva. As a result, the Mage's body was immediately covered in a layer of stone. It was as if his entire body had turned into stone!
I was shocked and said in a low voice, "A petrification attack. So powerful!"
In just a few short minutes, 17 players from Pop Culture had been killed. Only a male priest managed to escape in fright. When he saw the petrified boss being smacked to death by the boss, he wiped his tears and took out a return scroll to return to the city.
We only walked out of the forest after the last of the Pop Culture players had left. Summer patted her chest and said, "That was an amazing battle!"
I couldn't agree more. Just now, I was worried for the Pop Culture players. If they had killed the boss, it would've been very disharmonious. Now, I could finally relax. They didn't disappoint us, and the boss swept them all!
Ling Yue smiled and waved her staff. "It's time for us to shine!"
Ling Xue immediately pulled me to the front. I complained, "Don't, Ling Xue. Just do it yourself. My Defense is so much lower than yours. Do you have the heart to send me to my death …"
Ling Xue said angrily, "Cut the crap!
Didn't Sister Zi Yun 'er give you a resurrection prophecy? What are you afraid of? "
At this time, the Fire Crocodile discovered us. It let out a low roar and charged us!
Thud!
I shook the Bloodthirst Spear in my hand and used Ice Wind Thrust. An icy-blue light flashed, and the spear stabbed the boss's head with an icicle!
“805！”
I was speechless when I saw the pitiful damage number. The boss's Defense was 450, and I couldn't tear through its Defense by much.
Ling Xue laughed softly. She swung her sword and used Water Moon Slash on the boss's lower jaw. The boss groaned as 1,402 points of damage was dealt to it!
It looked like my melee attack power was inferior to Ling Xue's before I switched to the Blaze Spear.
At this time, Ling Yue and Soundless Rain entered attack range. Fire Dragon Spell and Fire Arrow immediately whistled toward us.
Purple Moon, on the other hand, was in a much more pitiful state. She hadn't even taken a few steps when the Fire Crocodile started spitting saliva at her. Purple Moon froze on the spot like a statue!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Player "Zi Yue" has been petrified by the Fire Crocodile and has entered a petrified state. Unable to attack or move, Defense increased by 300% for 60 seconds!
… …
I suddenly remembered something. Usually, long-range monsters like this would prioritize targets that were far away but not participating in the attack. This setting was a little strange, but it gave us a chance.
After all, Zi Yue was just leeching. It was better to let her waste the boss's attack. Petrification couldn't kill people anyway.
Thus, I shouted in the party channel, "That … Zi Yue, and Xia Tian, you two don't have to do anything else. Just walk around Ling Yue!"
Summer asked why, and I told her that life lies in movement.
Not long after, Summer was also petrified. The boss's petrification skill had a cooldown of 30 seconds, so the two petrified girls stayed around us.
Whoosh!
The Fire Crocodile suddenly pounced and slammed its claws into my chest. I immediately felt a tearing pain. I felt like my entire body was being torn apart. When I looked at my HP, I was scared out of my wits!
The Fire Crocodile's attack was a critical hit. 2768 almost one-shot me!
Fortunately, I swung my sword in time and deleted almost a thousand HP from the boss. I also recovered 40 HP thanks to the Vampiric Ring. Zi Yun 'er's Heal came almost a second later and healed me for more than 1200 HP. Such powerful healing power was astounding.
Ling Yue was also slightly surprised. She couldn't help but ask, "Zi Yun 'er, how much healing does your equipment add? I remember that Advanced Heal only adds 800 HP..."
Zi Yun 'er pursed her lips and smiled. "I have two Silver-grade equipment that adds healing. The rest of my equipment adds some as well..."
"Oh, no wonder..."
I thought of the Feather Robe of Pity in my storage. It increased healing by 25%. If Zi Yun 'er wore this robe, wouldn't she be able to heal 1500 HP in one go?
I hesitated for a moment. If I sold this Gold-grade Feather Robe of Pity, it would probably sell for more than 10000 gold. That's the equivalent of 20000 RMB!
Forget it. I won't think too much about it. I'll wait until Zi Yun 'er reaches Level 45!
After I was almost one-shot, Ling Xue and Bing Cha fought more cautiously. After all, our melee classes weren't the main force against this boss with high Defense. Our main force was Ling Yue, who had powerful Magic Attack. Each of Ling Yue's Fire Dragon Spells could deal almost 3000 damage to the boss. This wasn't something we could compare to.
(Fire Dragon Spells are divided into three parts. Each part deals around 1000 damage.)
No matter how strong the Fire Crocodile was, it wouldn't be able to withstand our high-powered attacks. Although it managed to one-shot Ice Tea once, Ice Tea had the ability to revive herself, so she wasn't injured at all. Ling Xue and I were more than enough to tank the mobs.
Finally, after nearly ten minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, the Gold-grade Fire Crocodile let out a low roar and collapsed to the ground. It dropped a pile of gold and a few pieces of equipment!
I glanced at Ling Xue and said, "Girl, go pick up the equipment and gold. Why are you just standing there?"
Ling Xue smiled sweetly and immediately swept the equipment and gold into her bag. The Fire Crocodile dropped a staff, a necklace, and a set of armor.
Ling Xue quickly posted the stats of the equipment into the party. The first was the staff — —
[Staff of the Earth] (Silver-grade)
Magic Attack: 80-120
Intelligence: + 12
Stamina: + 10
Passive: Increases healing by up to 60
Level Requirement: 40
(Unappraised)
… …
In an instant, Ling Yue and Zi Yun 'er were stunned.
Then, Ling Yue smiled and said, "It adds quite a bit of healing. Let's give this equipment to Zi Yun 'er. Consider it her appearance fee for today …"
Zi Yun 'er hesitated and said, "When this staff is appraised, its magic attack will definitely not be bad. Ling Yue, you need it more than I do."
Ling Yue smiled and shook her head, "Don't be so polite with me. Of course I can't accept a staff that adds healing. Otherwise, I'll be looked down upon by Scholar and Cher!"
Zi Yun 'er couldn't help but smile and took the staff from Ling Xue's hands.
The second piece of equipment was the necklace that was glowing brightly.
[Petrification Necklace] (Silver-grade – Necklace)
Strength: + 15
Stamina: + 10
Passive: When attacking a target, there is a 5% chance of petrifying the target
Level Requirement: 43
(Unappraised)
… …
Immediately, Ling Xue hesitated and said to me, "I already have a Silver-grade necklace, but this one, should I give it to Sister Bing Cha or you?"
I wanted to be generous, but the necklace's stats were enough to make me drool!
At this time, Ling Yue said with a smile, "To be fair, why don't Scholar and Bing Cha roll!"
Roll was a system-set bidding function. Two people in a party would roll a number of points, and the number of points would be randomly distributed between 1 and 100. Whoever rolled the higher number would be the winner.
Ling Yue's suggestion was very fair. Bing Cha and I exchanged a smile and nodded in unison.
And so, the party leader Ling Yue activated the roll function. I clicked it, and the number jumped a couple of times. My heart was in my throat, but in the end, the number didn't disappoint me and stopped at 4!
Damn, it's a super low number. I'm basically screwed!
Ling Xue pursed her lips and giggled. "Hehe, Dumbo's luck is pretty good …"
I smiled wryly. "Don't make fun of me!"
Ice Tea faintly smiled as she quickly tossed her points into the shuttle. The number on the shuttle flipped around until it was about to stop. Everyone looked over with great interest.
“78！”
“100！”
“2！”
It rolled three times, and the number finally stopped at 2!
I immediately looked at Bing Cha and said with certainty, "You're doing this on purpose …"
Bing Cha was speechless. "I wanted to, but never mind. Treat me to lunch today …"
"Okay!
I'll get you some rice! "
"..."
I took the Petrification Necklace from Ling Xue's hands. To be honest, the effect of this equipment was pretty good. The 5% chance of petrification was perfect for PvP!
Next, the third piece of equipment, was the glowing breastplate — — — -
[Fearless Chest Armor] (Gold-grade — Armor)
Defense: 85
Strength: + 15
Stamina: + 10
Passive: Increases user's Defense by 20
Level Requirement: 45
(Unappraised)
… …
I couldn't help but be surprised that the equipment had such amazing stats even before it was appraised!
Ling Xue said, "I don't want to change my Gale set just yet. Who wants the two of you who can wear metal armor?"
The balance between Bing Cha and me swung back and forth.
This time, I said firmly, "My level isn't high enough to equip it, so I'll give it to Bing Cha!"
Bing Cha's mouth fell open in shock. A moment later, she said, "This is a Gold-grade item, Scholar. You think you can just give it to someone else?
Let's roll! "
