After I went online, Ling Xue followed Ling Yue, the beautiful twin sisters, out of Muguang City and headed east to burn monsters.
At the current stage of the game, even though most players had already reached Level 40, there were still very few players who could venture deep into areas with Level 50 and above undead monsters. Therefore, Ling Yue and Ling Xue's party was very likely to be the only party that could venture into areas with high-level monsters. Moreover, with Ling Yue's super high DPS, the area with such a strong firepower was already full. If I went there, I was afraid that there would be no place for me to use my skills.
Therefore, I chose the direction of Withered Wood Coast. The ship in the sea had already respawned, and it was not practical to go into the deep sea to kill those monsters. The time a player could survive in the sea was related to their level. Legend had it that the highest level in Spirit of Grief was above 250. With my current Level 50, I definitely could not stay in the deep sea for too long. Therefore, my goal this time was not the sea creatures, but the deep forest beside the coast. The monsters there were all above Level 60. Normal players could not go there to level, and players who wanted to level in groups would not go so far. Therefore, the coastal forest had many unknown secrets!
Seeing that in a day or two, there might be players who would reach Level 60. Before entering the main cities of China, this was my last profit in Muguang City!
Outside the city, the spring sunshine was bright. Early in the morning, many players who had just come online prepared their potions and walked out of the city in groups, looking for their own places to grind. There were also people standing in the open space of Cool Breeze Forest. A large group of people gathered there and shouted, "Friends who want to farm the Forest Wild Bear Bronze-grade set, get in the car! We need a high DPS mage and high HP priest!"
In the end, many mages looked from afar, not willing to join the party. The Forest Bear set was a metal armor, they had no use for it.
At the same time, there were three swordsmen with shining equipment standing there, shouting, "Muguang City's Three Swordsmen accept the Velociraptor Ring quest. Friends who have not done this quest, please get in the car. If you don't die, we will trade 3000 gold before killing the boss!"
I was stunned and went up to ask, "Brother, Velociraptor Ring quest?
What kind of quest is that, can we do it so casually?
Killing a Quest Boss for 3000 gold coins? Isn't that too much? "
The mustachioed player of the Three Swordsmen glanced at me. When he saw that my equipment wasn't glowing, a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. "You still don't know?
There's a Blind Velociraptor Boss at the edge of the forest near the Withered Coast. As long as you accept a quest from an NPC nearby, you can kill the Boss and obtain a Level 40 Silver-grade ring. The ring's attributes are pretty good, but the Boss isn't easy to kill. Even a 10-man party might not be able to kill it. Only the three of us can barely kill it! "
At this time, a few players walked over and asked for the price. They all shook their heads and said to each other, "3000 gold is equivalent to 5000 RMB. No, we'll go kill it ourselves!"
The Three Swordsmen were also stunned. Their business was ruined. They asked me, "Brother, do you want to kill them?"
I shook my head and smiled. "It's fine. I'm too poor to kill …"
And so, I left Cool Breeze Forest. I thought to myself: If these three second-rate experts can earn money by killing a boss, why can't I?
Whatever, I'll go take a look first. In any case, I'm going to Withered Coast.
Half an hour later, when I arrived at Withered Coast, I found a dozen or so players wandering in the forest in front of me. All of them had dejected expressions.
Not far away, a few Twilight City NPC soldiers were standing there. I walked over and talked to them. The NPC soldier captain said, "The forest of Withered Coast is filled with countless dangers. Recently, several merchant fleets were attacked at the edge of the forest. It was the work of that hateful Blind Velociraptor!
Young man, can you kill that Blind Velociraptor and do your part for the kingdom? "
I clicked confirm and the system bell sounded —
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have accepted the quest [Blind Velociraptor]!
(Current Quest Difficulty: 250)
Description: Kill the old Blind Velociraptor wandering at the edge of the forest and bring its head back to Soldier Captain Michael. You will receive the quest reward [Velociraptor Ring] (Silver-grade)!
You are the 97th player to accept this quest. There is a limit of 100 people!
… …
I was slightly surprised. Interesting. The quest hadn't even been completed yet and they were already using the quest reward to tempt people. This quest wasn't bad.
Also, the quest mark said that this quest could only be completed once. In other words, each person could only receive one Velociraptor Ring. The maximum number of Velociraptor Rings that could appear was 100. However, if you had money, buying two Velociraptor Rings wasn't a problem.
When I came outside, I saw the dozen or so players pacing at the edge of the forest. One of the swordsmen said, "What do we do?
That Blind Velociraptor's attack power is just too high. I can't tank it at all. Our team's Priests can't keep up with the healing. We already died once. If we die again, we'll suffer a huge loss …. "
Another mage said, "But we can't bear to not kill it. That ring actually adds 20 stat points. It's definitely a top-tier Silver-grade ring. It can sell for several thousand on the market. Also, if someone else kills it first, we won't be able to complete the quest. We'll suffer a huge loss!"
In the end, the group of people stood there in a deadlock. Not a single person dared to go up and kill the boss. In front of us, a Velociraptor was gnawing on the corpse of a forest tiger. It raised its head from time to time, as if listening to the movements around it. Its eyes were already blind, leaving only a black nest.
I immediately cast [Eye of the Stars] and the Blind Velociraptor's stats leaped into view —
[Blind Velociraptor] (Silver-grade Boss)
Level: 65
Attack: 650 ~ 800
Defense: 550
Health: 200000
Skills: [Laceration], [Devour], [Lash]
Bonus: The former leader of the Velociraptor became blind in old age. It can only wander the forest to protect its tribe.
… …
No wonder these people didn't dare to go up. This was actually a Level 65 boss. Without a doubt, the Level 40 to 45 players in front of me couldn't withstand it at all. The Velociraptor's 800 Attack was enough to instantly kill any mage or priest here. Even an archer's attack couldn't break through the Velociraptor's abnormal 550 Defense. This caused the group to fall into an awkward situation where they couldn't break through the boss's defense.
Thus, I walked up and smiled, "You guys want to kill the boss to complete the quest?"
The swordsman nodded and asked, "Friend, do you have a way to kill the boss?
Or, are you willing to join our party and kill the boss with us?
Ai, forget it. Even if you join, we can't kill this boss whose level we can't see! "
I smiled. "This Level 65 boss isn't something a player can handle at this stage of the game, but I'm confident that I can kill this boss alone. However, as a reward for helping you complete the quest, each of you will pay me 500 gold in advance. Are you willing to do so?"
Immediately, the group was shocked. The swordsman bluntly said, "Friend, although I can't see your level, you're taking on a Level 65 boss by yourself. Also, it doesn't make sense for us to pay first, does it?"
I smiled and abruptly activated the effects of my equipment. In an instant, the Gold-grade Fearless Chest Armor shone with a dazzling golden light. My blood-colored cloak glowed with a blood-red light, and the Dark Gold – grade Blaze Spear in my hand spun with even more light. Flames danced along the blade. In an instant, the mouths of the dozen or so people in front of me fell open. Not a single one of them could say a word.
The effect seemed to have been achieved. Next, I activated my name. The words "Dragon Speaker" under Frivolous Scholar glowed with a dazzling green light. Also, the crescent moon on my guild badge, Ling Xue's design, was flowing with silver light. Anyone could see that this was the famous guild emblem of Snow Moon!
"Heavens!
He's Frivolous Scholar! "The swordsman was shocked.
A female priest behind him widened her eyes. "Uuuu, it's Frivolous Scholar. He's so handsome!
His equipment is so cool. If I had a boyfriend like him, I wouldn't be wearing a Black Iron – grade set … "
Looking at their shocked expressions, I smiled and asked, "What do you think now? Do you believe that I can solo this Level 65 boss?"
The swordsman immediately nodded seriously and said in a deep voice, "Since Frivolous Scholar has accepted this quest, then there is nothing more to say. Here are my 500 gold coins. Using 500 gold coins to buy a Silver-grade ring is definitely worth it!"
The archer and mage next to him also nodded and said, "Then, let's go together. We can turn in the quest together anyway!"
As a result, I opened up my party list. Every time someone gave me 500 gold, I added them into my party. In the end, there was only a female priest left. Her face was red as she said to me, "Um … I only have 234 gold, can I …"
I couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not easy for priests to farm money. Forget it, you can keep the gold to buy potions. Your fee is waived!"
As I said that, I added the girl into the party. It wasn't that I was greedy for her beauty, it was just out of sympathy. Besides, this girl's looks were very average. Let alone Ling Xue and Ling Yue, even Xia Xia and Zi Yue were a hundred times prettier than her.
After receiving the money, it was time to get to work!
The swordsman held his sword and said, "I can help you tank a bit, but only for a bit. This boss can kill me in two attacks …"
I shook my head and said, "No need, I can do it alone!"
As I said that, I directly walked forward and greeted the velociraptor's neck with a [Gale Pierce]!
"Crack!"
The Blaze Spear exploded with the light of a skill. Shards of ice danced in the air, and a damage of 2341 appeared. The velociraptor's speed was immediately reduced by a lot, but it still fiercely swung its neck and opened its bloody mouth to bite me!
I instinctively raised my left arm. A blue light flashed, and a crystal clear shield appeared on my arm, blocking the velociraptor's attack. Even with the Defense bonus, the velociraptor's powerful 800 attack only dealt 125 points of damage!
"Heavens!
It's actually like this, such high Defense! "The swordsman was dumbfounded.
I smiled inwardly. With two pieces of Gold-grade defensive equipment and this Dark Gold – grade shield, my Defense right now was definitely higher than a knight's. It couldn't be said that this boss's Attack wasn't high enough, it could only be said that the Defense bonus of Dark Gold – grade equipment was too overpowered. This once again proved the principle that when killing super bosses, you must have OP equipment. Of course, this velociraptor could only be considered a third-rate boss, otherwise it would have broken through my Defense …
While the group of players behind me were dumbfounded, I had already swept out with a Shield Break Slash and a Whirlwind Slash combo, dealing another 5000 points of damage to the velociraptor. This velociraptor didn't have much HP to begin with, so the result was that its health bar rapidly dropped. In less than ten minutes, it was about to die!
After drinking a few potions, I still had half of my HP left. The Priest girl originally wanted to heal me, but I stopped her. A Priest's healing was the skill that attracted the boss's aggro the most, and I didn't want to bring trouble to myself.
If this girl was killed by the velociraptor, it wouldn't affect my reputation much, and I might even implicate Xue Yue Studio. If rumors spread that "a core member of Xue Yue Studio accepted a quest to kill someone", I wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. Gossip was a fearful thing!
Finally, I swung out a Shield Break Slash, the sharp tip of my Blaze Spear piercing through the velociraptor's neck. Blood splattered everywhere, and the velociraptor, which was about two people tall, finally let out an anguished howl and fell to the ground. Leaves flew into the air, and a pile of gold coins and a few pieces of equipment dropped!
For a moment, the players behind me were in an uproar. After all, we hadn't agreed on who would get the equipment from the boss!
However, I wasn't a person who wouldn't get up early if there was no profit to be made. I immediately raised my spear and quickly walked forward, putting all the gold coins and equipment into my bag. Only then did I say to them, "Everyone, come and pick up your own velociraptor's head!"
A few people immediately walked forward and picked it up. A bloody velociraptor's head appeared in my bag. I took the opportunity to look at the gold coins and equipment that the boss had dropped. There was a total of 450 gold coins. Including the gold coins that I had just collected from 11 people, in less than half an hour, I had actually earned 5950 gold coins. Hehe, another small windfall!
As for the equipment, there were two pieces of Bronze-grade armor. They weren't very high quality. Looking at their unappraised quality, I estimated that they could be sold on the market for 200 gold coins each. One piece of equipment was equivalent to 300 RMB. This was the limit of Bronze-grade equipment that normal players could afford.
The dozen or so players went to turn in their quest. After receiving the Silver Tier Velociraptor Ring, their faces lit up with joy. The Swordsman asked, "What do we do next? We can't kill the monsters here. Let's go back to the city. Let's go to Cool Breeze Forest?"
The others nodded and returned to the city together. Afterwards, I was once again the only one left at the edge of the Dead Wood Coast.
I went to the NPC and turned in the Velociraptor's Head quest. I immediately received 200,000 experience and 200 gold coins. At the same time, I also received 300 Reputation. Last time, I had spent 20000 Reputation to establish a guild on Snow Moon. Now I had to slowly accumulate it again.
The main point of this quest was that Silver Tier Ring. I didn't need to appraise it, its stats were amazing — —
【Velociraptor Ring】 (Silver Tier)
Strength: + 20
Stamina: + 20
Intelligence: + 20
Agility: + 20
Additional: Increases attack speed by 1%
Level Requirement: 40
