I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. Tonight, I bumped into so many cute things. First, it was a Ghoul, then a Skeleton Warrior and a Lich. Now, it was time to kill Zombies. Moreover, I had to bring the half-rotten head of a Zombie General back to Walker. That old fellow, why didn't I see that he had a hobby of collecting these things?
However, the difficulty of this quest was 540, so the reward must be pretty good. I didn't get any quest item reward when I killed the Corpse Wizard King. Logically speaking, completing a quest with difficulty higher than 200 should give me a 20% chance of getting the quest reward. The higher the difficulty, the higher the reward.
Thinking about it this way, I had to complete this quest. After all, there were a bunch of players in White Cloud City who couldn't get the quest right now, and they were teasing the NPCs everywhere. I should be praying to the gods that I got this high difficulty quest!
I immediately returned to White Cloud City and bought a couple of Return Scrolls. Then, I spent almost a thousand gold to repair my equipment. I had to admit that Dark Gold – grade equipment was way too expensive to repair. Fortunately, I was a person with plenty of gold, or I wouldn't be able to afford it at all. Still, Spirit of Grief was a little unscrupulous. Dark Gold – grade equipment was already so expensive. If I could equip Divine-grade equipment in the future, wouldn't I go bankrupt?
After complaining for a while, I still obediently went to buy some potions. Afterwards, I went to the equipment and material merchant and spent 1000 gold to buy 10 pots of high attack iron arrows. These arrows added 20 attack and were considered high quality goods. Each pot of arrows could last me for around 5 hours. If I used them on a high difficulty quest, it would be more than worth it.
After all the preparations were done, I set off!
Once I was outside the city, I opened up the map. According to the quest's instructions, my destination was in the southeast of White Cloud City. That place was connected to the White Cloud Mountain Range, and at the foot of the White Cloud Mountain Range was the location of the Iron Smelting Workshop. My goal this time was to clear out the Rotten Corpses surrounding the workshop!
After walking all the way to the south and then turning east, it took about an hour to complete half of the journey. However, they were surprised to see some players around Level 35 walking along the small path of the White Cloud Mountain Range. They were noobs who could not afford the teleportation fee from Muguang City to the White Cloud Main City!
I couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment. These guys were too strong. They actually managed to pass through the mountain range without being instantly killed by the monsters. Their futures were limitless!
He turned around and disappeared into the Moonlight Forest. There were some fur-type monsters in the forest, including wolves and tigers. However, these Level 70 monsters were nothing in front of the Flame Spear. They all turned into experience points!
Looking at the time, it was already 12: 30 AM!
Beep ~!
Ling Xue's excited voice could be heard, "Idiot ~ Idiot ~ Sister and I got a Gold-tier magic robe. It just so happens that sister can equip it. Hehe, today's harvest is not small ~ ~"
I smiled. "That's good. It looks like Ling Xue is very satisfied with her current attack power."
Ling Xue couldn't hide the happiness in her voice. "Yes, I'm very powerful now!
The power of the Profound Ice Sword Qi released by the Thunderbolt Sword is simply too great, even Elder Sister's' Icebound Thousand Miles' cannot be compared to it! "
"Oh?
Is Ling Yue jealous? "
"Tsk!
Sister won't be jealous of me. My relationship with sister is tens of thousands of times better than you can imagine! "
Ling Xue looked happy, but then asked with a smile, "Idiot, I'm going to go offline to sleep. What about you? When are you going offline?"
I thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I won't be sleeping tonight. I plan to play through the night and finish the quest. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well. Ling Xue, you sleep first. Remember to cover yourself with the blanket!"
Ling Xue couldn't help but laugh. "Why do you have to tell me to cover myself with the blanket? Do I need someone to take care of me?"
I smiled and said, "Don't give me that!
That night when you slept in my room, you kicked the blanket to the ground. Don't think I didn't see it. Right now, the temperature in your and Ling Yue's room is so low. If you don't cover yourself with the blanket, you'll definitely catch a cold. "
Ling Xue was stunned for a moment before she smiled sweetly and said, "I know. You should sleep early too. Don't tire yourself out too much. I believe that with the overall strength of our team, we will definitely be able to make a name for ourselves in the Return of the King!"
"Mn!"
After Ling Xue went offline, Ling Yue sent me a goodnight message and then went offline.
Qin Yun waited for a while. Seeing that the quest would be difficult to finish quickly, she said, "Rest early. I'll leave you some congee in the pot. Go eat it when you log off tomorrow!"
"Mn, okay. Thank you!"
"Hehe, why are you being so polite?"
Qin Yun smiled softly, but then she yawned and said, "Then I'm going offline. Scholar, play by yourself ~"
"Mn."
After Qin Yun went offline, I couldn't help but sigh. In reality, Qin Yun was almost perfect. She was beautiful, gentle and considerate. She was useful at home and popular outside. She was the best choice for a wife!
Bing Cha and Soundless Rain said goodbye to me and went offline. Bing Cha said, "Do your best, Scholar. Work hard for Reigning the World!"
Soundless Rain said, "Scholar, don't get panda eyes tomorrow ~"
As for Purple Moon and Xia Tian, they requested to stay with me through the night. However, I suspected that their motive was to follow me to freeload experience. Yup, I wouldn't do this kind of losing business. Other people could bring a girl to the game and get a room, but I couldn't. The girls in the studio couldn't be carelessly touched.
It was like Shi Shi's professional ethics. Never get involved with a model. This was a professional rule!
After scolding Zi Yue and Xia Xia to go to sleep, I finally quieted down. I looked into the distance and saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the foot of the White Cloud Mountain Range. It looked like there was someone there.
"Hua La", he used his Scorching Flame Spear to pry open the obstructing branches and leaves. Surprisingly, he could see a small town in the open land in front of him. The map showed that it was the Fog Town!
My vision was a little hazy. It was early in the morning, and the game was foggy. It really was Fog Town. When I got close, I could already hear low roars. It was the sound of the undead. It was obvious that Fog Town was surrounded by Zombies!
I walked forward with my Blaze Spear in hand. Eyes of Stars had a wider field of vision, and I could see a group of Zombies not far away. These Zombies looked like they had just crawled out of the ground. Their clothes were torn to shreds, and their blood had long since coagulated. Their skin and flesh were festering, and some of them were even showing their white bones. If it rained a few more times, these Zombies would become skeleton warriors after their skin and clothes were washed away.
I got closer and used Eyes of Stars to read the stats of a Zombie — —
[Hungry Zombie] (Strengthened Monster)
Level: 75
Attack: 750 ~ 880
Defense: 400
Health: 14000
Bonus: The Corpse Wizard King killed a large number of human militias and extracted their souls, turning them into Rotting Corpses. These Rotting Corpses have an extremely sensitive sense of smell towards blood. Their only purpose for survival is to kill creatures with blood flowing in their veins …
I was slightly shocked. This was actually a Level 75 strengthened monster. Logically speaking, it should have surpassed the level of a Lich. Why was the difficulty of the quest 540? Could it be that I had encountered the most shameful thing in legends — I had been tricked by an NPC?
Indignant, I immediately nocked an arrow on my bow. "Sou!" The Armor Piercing Arrow flew through the air!
"Pa!"
“2347！”
Amidst the milky white light, the sharp iron arrow exploded on the zombie's back. The surging force caused the zombie's skin and flesh to split open. With just one strike, it had actually left a deep bloody hole on the zombie's back!
"Roar roar!"
The Zombie was enraged, but it quickly sensed the presence of a living person in the distance.
With an angry roar, the corpse pounced on me, its sharp claws slamming into my chest armor!
"Keng!"
When my flesh hit the Gold-grade armor, the sound of metal clashing against stone rang out. It left a shallow scratch on the armor, and I lost 324 HP!
I couldn't help but be shocked. This Zombie's 880 Attack was able to deal so much damage to me. As expected of a strengthened monster!
However, this was at least the result of the level difference. If I was also Level 75, then with my 1370 Defense, this Zombie would only be able to deal 100 damage to me!
I pulled out my Flame Spear and swung it several times. Under the powerful attacks of [Total Annihilation], the Rotten Corpse was forced to retreat. When I used [Ice Wind Pierce], a "Pa Ta" sound rang out and the Rotten Corpse's shoulder was pierced by my spear. With a pull of my spear, the Rotten Corpse's entire arm was cut off!
"Wu wu … …"
The Zombie whimpered, and with a fierce look in its eyes, it pounced at me again. I swept out with a [Whirlwind Slash], and the Zombie's other arm was also chopped off!
Damn!
This game's design is too cruel. Even if you want it to be realistic, you don't have to be so sick!?
"Shua!"
The Shield Breaker Slash enveloped the Zombie with a golden light, and after a crisp sound, the Zombie's head was directly swept away. Its body trembled a few times, and finally fell straight to the ground. However, it was still restless on the ground, and both of its arms crawled along the ground towards its head!
The Zombie didn't die, and there was still a bit of HP left. It looked like it wanted to reattach its head to continue fighting!
I couldn't help but be speechless. As expected of a useless warrior!
I took a step forward, and with a "peng", I kicked the Zombie's head away. It drew a perfect trajectory in the air, and then fell into the grass.
I think I was too cruel. The Zombie finally died, and dropped a few gold coins!
If the two sisters, Ling Yue and Ling Xue, were leveling here, they would probably have to give up on these gold coins. After all, this Zombie looked sticky and disgusting, and the gold that it dropped wouldn't be much better.
But I was different. I kicked away the Zombie's broken arm, and picked up a few gold coins from below. I wiped them clean and threw them into my bag.
At this time, I heard voices coming from the direction of Fog Town — —
"Damn it!
Where did these despicable Zombies come from? Captain, our arrows are about to run out. If the kingdom doesn't send reinforcements soon, we can only fight to the death here.
It's a pity that we still have so many weapons and horseshoes in our furnace, so we can't give them to the kingdom's army … "
Another voice sounded, "Cheer up, my soldiers!
You are the brave warriors of the Silvermoon Alliance. Even if we shoot out our last arrow, we definitely can't let these filthy Zombies enter the town! "
… …
It sounded like the soldiers guarding the town wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer!
I looked around. The vast horde of Zombies was like an ocean outside the town. I had to lure a portion of them out before I could enter the town. If I didn't enter the town, I wouldn't be able to replenish my supplies. I really didn't know how long it would take to kill these Zombies.
Thus, I immediately took out my Star Chasing Bow, and lightly raised it. A Thousand Blade Arrow flew out, and a rainbow-colored light blossomed in the midst of the Zombies!
"Roar roar roar!"
A large group of Zombies was immediately enraged, and they all turned around and rushed towards me. Fortunately, these Zombies' movement speed was extremely slow, only 75% of mine. This gave me hope of completing the mission!
As I ran back, I turned back and used my Thousand Blade Arrow to deal damage to the Zombies. After making a large circle, when I returned, there were only a few Zombies left behind!
"Shua!"
A rainbow-colored light burst out, and the Thousand Blade Arrow showed its might. In the blink of an eye, a group of monsters was cleared!
However, what made me speechless was that the empty space that had attracted the Zombies earlier was filled again. There were just too many Zombies here, and they were all rushing towards Fog Town.
There was no other way, I could only fight them head-on!
I took a step forward, switched to my Flame Spear, and suddenly rushed into the crowd of monsters!
"Peng peng!"
After killing a Zombie with two shots, I stepped on its body and sprinted forward. At the same time, I activated the Blood Cloak's [Intermediate Bloodthirst]. Immediately, my body glowed red, and my speed suddenly increased by a lot!
My goal was not to kill the monsters, but to enter Fog Town. Thus, I only used my Flame Spear to hit the monsters until they staggered left and right, opening a path for myself.
However, the density of the Zombies was too high, and the attack power of the Zombies was not to be underestimated. When I was halfway through, I had already lost half of my health!
Feeling a chill in my heart, I gritted my teeth and raised my Flame Spear with one arm. In the next moment, the Flame Spear suddenly swung out, and a golden shadow broke through the air with an unstoppable momentum!
"Afterimage Strike!"
The Zombies that bore the brunt of the attack immediately staggered, and even more were thrown into the air by the powerful impact of the [Afterimage Strike]. In just an instant, a vacuum formed in front of me, and directly led to Fog Town's iron gate!
My heart sank. Now is the time!
Without another word, I sprinted forward with all my strength. At the same time, I swung my Flame Spear left and right, sweeping away the Zombies that blocked my way.
About five seconds later, I directly reached the iron gate of Fog Town's exit. Suddenly, I looked up and found that there was a Level 65 NPC soldier in the sky.
On the watchtower, a Level 65 NPC soldier was drawing his bow and shooting Zombies!
"Hey!
Brother, let me in! "
Facing a flood of Zombies, my legs turned to jelly, and I shouted repeatedly.
