Ling Xue blinked and drooled, "If we can clear out all the monsters in the central hall of the fifth floor, we'll be rich …"
I pointed to the front, "Ling Xue, stop dreaming. Look in front of us. We have to get rid of these new Rock Giants before we can go to the fifth floor. Or, we can jump down from the fourth floor. But it's so high. If we jump down, we'll probably be crushed into meat paste by the Rock Giants."
Ling Xue was a little disappointed, but she smiled, "No problem. The Rock Giants on the fourth floor are also BOSSes, right?
It's the same when we kill them. Idiot, look! "
"Okay."
I immediately used [Eyes of the Stars] and the stats of the Rock Giants on the fourth floor jumped out — —
【Frost Rock Giant】 (Silver Rank Miniboss)
Level: 90
Attack: 1350-1650
Defense: 950
Health: 120000
Attack Type: Throw
Skill: 【Berserk Throw】
Bonus: This Rock Giant contains strong wind energy. It can use wind type battle skills.
… …
As expected, it was the same Silver Rank Miniboss. It's just that its attack had become a long-range throw, but it wasn't considered a magic attack.
Ling Yue was just about to raise her staff to attract the monster when I hurriedly reached out to stop her, "Don't rush. Let me attract the monster. This monster has a long-range attack. With one long-range attack, 1650 damage, it might be able to instantly kill you …"
Ling Yue was slightly surprised, but she pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay."
And so, I raised my Flame Spear and walked forward. Before I even got halfway, the Frost Rock Giant was already on guard. It suddenly roared and raised its giant arm. In the air, a dazzling icicle condensed in the Rock Giant's hand. In the next moment, the Rock Giant roared and threw the icicle!
"Peng!"
A loud sound rang out, followed by a sharp pain from my shoulder. I was directly hit by the icicle and lost more than 1500 health!
What a high attack!
I let out a gasp of surprise, but I quickly realized that even though this miniboss had high attack power, it took a long time to throw. It only attacked once every 8 seconds. This meant that I was in an absolutely safe situation!
After all, Qin Yun's healing was more than enough to make up for the loss of health.
Ling Xue also rushed over with her sword and attacked together with me. This Miniboss didn't have much health. Even if Ling Xue and I fought together, we could still finish it in 5 minutes!
Qin Yun was very smart. After casting a Healing Spell, she took two steps back, narrowly avoiding the Frost Stone Giant's attack range. Ling Yue did the same. After casting a Fire Dragon Spell, she retreated repeatedly. She waited to make sure that the Frost Stone Giant's aggro did not waver before launching her next attack.
Ice Tea also followed up. Her attack power wasn't very high, but she could still deal nearly a thousand damage to the monster. Zi Yue didn't dare to go forward, while Xia Xia Zhi gave the monster an attack mark from afar. Then, he summoned the wolf cub to attack.
. King, I, Rock Chen Chen Chen. and. and., he Chen, he, he saw Wolf.
In less than 5 minutes, the Frost Rock Giant roared and fell. It dropped a bunch of gold coins, but no equipment.
After we picked up the gold coins, we continued to push forward. Thankfully, there were only five of these troublesome Frost Stone Giants roaming around the ice path. After we took out all of them in half an hour, we descended the stairs and faced the monsters of the fifth floor directly!
The fifth floor of the Arctic Ice Cave was like a coliseum. Rock Giants of different sizes crowded in the middle of the plaza. They were surrounded by a three-meter high fence and walkway. The walkway was connected to the plaza by a stone staircase. Around the plaza, there was a tall ice totem. It looked like an ice python. It stood tall and looked terrifying.
I carefully walked along the walkway on both sides of the plaza. There were only two or three Hurricane Rock Giants on the walkway. In the middle of the hall, there was a large group of these Silver Rank minibosses. It was bustling with activity, and I estimated that there were more than 100 of them. No wonder Ling Xue said that we could get rich if we killed all the monsters here.
Ling Xue pulled my arm and asked with a smile, "How are we going to kill these monsters?
I'm sure all of them will rush over if I lure one over. They're too close. Why don't we rush in and kill them all? "
I was speechless. "If we charge in, we'll be smashed into meat patties in ten seconds!"
"Then what should we do?" Ling Yue and Bing Cha asked in unison.
I looked up at the ice spikes and totems on both sides. Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in my mind. I smiled and said, "I have a battle plan. If we succeed, we can kill all these monsters in a row. If we fail, we'll die together …"
Ling Xue couldn't help but laugh. "Since that's the case, let's do it. We've gained so many levels in one night anyway. For the sake of that final super boss, it's worth it even if we die!"
"Hmm?
BOSS？”
I looked up. As expected, there was a throne shrouded in frost at the center of the hall surrounded by a horde of rock giants. I couldn't tell what kind of boss was sitting on the throne because it was too far away.
So I nodded. "Stay here and don't move. Ling Xue, come with me. We'll cut off the monsters' path up here!"
"Oh?"
Ling Xue was still puzzled when I pulled her hand toward the nearby ice stairs. As long as we cut off the ice stairs, the rock giants wouldn't be able to reach the surrounding walkways.
Ling Xue looked at the tall ice totem in front of us and seemed to understand something. She smiled and asked, "Dummy, are you going to close the door and beat the dogs?"
I was slightly surprised and couldn't help but praise, "Ling Xue is so smart. It looks like I won't be able to fool you in the future …"
Ling Xue laughed softly. "Hehe, it's good that you know ~ ~"
At this time, two Hurricane Rock Giants noticed us and immediately rushed over. Their huge bodies stomped on the ice stairs and the stairs looked like they were about to crack!
I hurriedly raised my spear and said, "Ling Xue, you take the left and I'll take the right!"
"Okay!"
The little beauty understood and immediately moved to the left. The Lightning Sword in her hand shone brightly. In the next moment, a powerful ice sword energy landed on the base of an ice totem!
"Kacha!"
Just as I had predicted, the ice pillar couldn't withstand the heavy blow. Under the attack of the Ice Sword Qi, the bottom of the ice pillar shattered. Ling Xue cleverly swung her sword, causing the remaining power of the sword qi to immediately swing backwards. Coincidentally, she guided the ice totem pillar to its original position!
"Hong!"
The ice totem that was a few meters wide was right on top of the ice stairs. Ice shards flew and blocked the path of the two Hurricane Rock Giants.
Seeing this, I immediately moved. With a wave of my hand, [Afterimage Strike] tore through the air and accurately hit the bottom of the totem pillar on the right. Under the impact, the pillar unsurprisingly fell outwards and stacked on top of the original pillar. In an instant, a three meter tall wall of ice was formed!
"Ok, done!"
Ling Xue smiled sweetly and immediately returned to Ling Yue's side. She smiled and said, "You guys get to work. I don't have anything else to do …."
We were on the walkway and looked down from above. We all started our ranged attacks. Ling Yue directly threw down a Scarlet Flame Sea and immediately attracted a large number of Rock Giants. Luckily, these Rock Giants were mostly melee Hurricane Rock Giants. The wind blades that they occasionally threw were nothing. However, there were a few Frost Rock Giants among them that became our main targets.
I stood at the very front and used my Thunder Shield to cover my attacks. The Thousand Blade Arrows landed among the group of monsters and dealt around 2000 damage. Ling Yue's Sea of Crimson Flames was even stronger, but it had a smaller area of effect and a shorter duration. Otherwise, we would've been able to burn the monsters much more efficiently.
Even so, these Rock Giants couldn't attack us. They could only roar and vent their anger on the ground. Their HP was rapidly decreasing.
Bing Cha and Ling Xue had nothing to do, so they stood behind me and chatted with each other. Bing Cha said, "I think we'll have to level up two more times after we kill them all …"
Ling Xue said with a smile, "That's a good thing. I didn't think that these minibosses would be this weak."
I immediately corrected her when I heard that. "Ling Xue, that's not the case. The reason these minibosses are so weak isn't because they aren't a proper boss, it's because they're only Silver-grade. Their Attack power is determined by their rank. If we had swapped these Level 90 Silver-grade minibosses for Dark Gold – grade minibosses, we might have already returned to the safe zone of White Cloud City."
"Oh, I see …" Ling Xue readily accepted my advice and said with a smile, "Idiot, don't be lazy. Right now, you and sister are the biggest firepower. Hurry up and kill these rocks. I'm going to sleep. When I wake up, I need to eat a good meal …"
Qin Yun said with a smile, "After we log off, we'll go downstairs and buy some buns. Otherwise, we'll have nightmares if we go to sleep on an empty stomach."
"Mn!"
Ling Yue and I focused our firepower and used Armor-Piercing Arrows and Fire Dragon Spells to instantly kill the Frost Rock Giants mixed in the crowd. After that, the pressure was greatly reduced. Next, we used Thousand Blade Arrows and Scarlet Flame Sea to suppress them. Although the attack range wasn't very large, the total damage was many times greater than attacking a single monster.
A large group of monsters' HP decreased uniformly. Everyone watched with joy. After all, these weren't normal monsters. Each one was a Silver-grade miniboss. To be able to raise a group of minibosses and kill them en masse, this wasn't something normal players could imagine.
When it was past 12 o 'clock in the morning, more than a hundred minibosses were lying on the frozen ground in the hall. Gold and equipment were shining everywhere. Ling Xue squinted her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "Wow!
If we can pick up all of them, we'll be rich! "
I glanced over. The boss on the throne not far away hadn't been touched yet. If I went over to pick up the equipment, it wouldn't be easy to say. I might die on the ground.
I looked at my level. After such crazy leveling, the girls in the workshop had all greatly increased. As the main damage dealers, Ling Yue and I received even more experience. I had already broken through the Level 70 threshold and reached 80% of the experience needed. It would be difficult to level up any further. Logically speaking, I could easily reach Level 72 or 73, but the experience needed to reach Level 70 was almost three times the experience needed to reach Level 69 to 70!
Ling Yue had also reached Level 69, almost catching up to me. However, 80% of the experience needed to reach Level 70 would probably be enough for her to grind for a few days. Ling Xue reached Level 67, but she was still ranked third in the China server. However, in the world rankings, Ling Xue still occupied third place. For the first time, China players occupied the top three positions in the entire server!
Qin Yun had also reached Level 65 due to her healing, advancing to the fourth place on the China server ranking. She was the undisputed number one priest in China. Even Bing Cha and Silent Rain had reached Level 63 and squeezed into the Heavenly Ranking. Zi Yue and Summer had been slacking, so their levels were slightly lower, but they still entered the Top 20 of the China server. It could be said that today was Xue Yue Studio's EXP Festival. In a short period of time, they had advanced by leaps and bounds!
I opened the Heavenly Ranking of the China server again, and it was brand new —
Frivolous Scholar Level 70 Dragon Speaker
Breeze Seizes the Moon Level 69 Mage
Breeze Flying Snow Level 67 Swordsman
Zi Yun 'er Level 65 Priest
5. Hellfire Lvl 64 Gale Warrior
Sword Fire Ghostburn Level 64 Dark Mage
Chrysanthemum Daohana Level 64 Soul Wizard
Bing Cha Level 63 Swordsman
9 Silent Rain, Level 63 Archer
Battle Soul Proud Heaven Level 59 Berserker
… …
A jaw-dropping scene appeared. Six of the top ten players on the China server ranking were core members of Xue Yue Studio. One of the spots was taken by Ghostburn, and seven of the top ten players were from Snow Moon. The rest of the spots were taken by Proud Alliance because of Chrysanthemum Daohana, Like Water Warrior Hellfire, and the last spot was taken by the number one gaming party in China, Battle Soul. The three major powers split the pitiful three spots...
Ling Yue was also looking at the ranking with a proud smile on her face. She said to me, "Scholar, after tonight, our Snow Moon will be famous throughout China!"
I nodded. "Yes, yes. Let's take a screenshot and reminisce about it. I don't think we'll be able to see such a grand occasion in less than a week..."
Bing Cha couldn't help but say, "Damned Scholar, are you saying that Silent Rain and I will soon drop out of the Top 10 because of our leveling speed?"
I smiled. "Bing Cha is so smart!"
"Hmph hmph!" Bing Cha glared at me, but the smile on his face didn't change.
At this time, I glanced at the equipment and gold in the hall below and said with a pained expression, "I'll go pick up the equipment and gold. It'll be a waste to grind them like this. It's all money..."
Ling Yue smiled. "If you go down and get killed by the boss, won't it be a waste to lose a level?"
"It's fine. If I lose a level, I'll farm monsters back. If I lose money, then so be it... This money is enough for our workshop to eat at restaurants every day for a month..."
Ling Yue thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Alright, then Scholar will go down and pick up the equipment. We'll cover you. Scholar, be careful!"
"Mn."
