I logged back into the game and looked at the items on the shelves. Two hours ago, there were almost a hundred pieces of equipment on the shelves, but only seven or eight of them had been sold. Even though the shop's trading ratio was higher, there was no doubt that most people who had good equipment were keeping it for themselves or selling it to people they knew. Therefore, other than my own equipment, almost all of the items on the shelves were from street stalls!
The Whirlwind Battle Axe that Bloodthirsty Jianghu had dropped was no longer the one I had originally sold. It seemed that Bloodthirsty Jianghu had used some method to lower the level of his weapon — [Whirlwind Battle Axe] (Dark Gold – grade)
Attack: 350 ~ 520
Strength: + 25
Stamina: + 20
Agility: + 15
Passive: 10% Defense ignore
Passive Skill: Whirlwind Slash
Slots: 1
Level Requirement: 50
… …
I still remembered that when I had gotten this Whirlwind Battle Axe from the Corpse General, I had used it at Level 60 with 640 Attack and 20% Defense ignore. Now, it had become 10%. It looked like Bloodthirsty Jianghu had spent a lot of money to equip this battle axe and participate in the Return of the King. After all, this battle axe only had its level requirement reduced by 10, but its stats were greatly reduced. Most people wouldn't be willing to lower their stats.
However, the Whirlwind Battle Axe was back in my hands. Considering that its stats weren't that great, I decided to sell it for 500,000 RMB. It would be best if I could sell it, but if I couldn't, I could use it as a signboard for my shop.
Beep!
Qin Yun sent me a message: "Scholar, are you ready?
I'll be waiting for you at the eastern plaza of White Cloud City! "
I immediately replied, "I'm coming!"
After a few hours of fighting in the afternoon, I had practically been on the frontlines as a tank and DPS, so my equipment was about to be destroyed. I walked to the equipment repair shop and spent 4000 gold to repair all of my equipment. When I returned to the plaza, I saw a beautiful priest standing in the distance, looking left and right with a charming expression on her face.
Qin Yun was wearing milky-white priest equipment, and she held the Staff of the Earth in her hand. Her white and smooth face was extremely attractive, and her beautiful eyes were full of charm. When she looked around, she immediately fell head over heels!
The Assassin players were immediately captivated, watching from afar. Two of them even entered a forward state.
I couldn't help but be shocked. There were some despicable assassins who would hide themselves inside the city, choose their targets, and follow them closely. Most of their targets were mages with top-tier equipment. Once they left the city, the assassins would immediately start ambushing them, killing them and robbing them of their loot. In White Cloud City, there were many such despicable assassins!
I immediately walked over and smiled at Qin Yun. "Are you ready?
Did you bring enough blue potions?
Also, Qin Yun, do you have enough gold coins?
White Cloud City's Big Blue seems to be very valuable … "
Qin Yun pursed her lips and chuckled. "It's alright. I can exchange the money in my bank card to buy gold coins. It's alright …"
"That's not good. We should only earn money from the game. How can we pay for it?
I have a lot of gold here. I'll give you some to buy your potions … "
After I said that, I directly transferred 100k gold to Qin Yun. Immediately, Qin Yun couldn't stop smiling. She said, "Scholar, how can I possibly ask for so much gold? This is enough money for me to practice potions for half a month …"
"It's fine. Just leave it."
Actually, ever since I accepted the Earth-grade Frost King's Sword from Qin Yun, I felt guilty. Qin Yun had to endure for 12 hours to defeat that boss, and I got the spoils of war for free. I should find a chance to make it up to her …
At this time, Ling Xue also appeared next to the equipment shop. When she saw us, she immediately ran over.
The beautiful swordswoman was fully armored, and her azure cloak fluttered in the wind. She looked both heroic and delicate as she ran. It was a sight that could drive anyone crazy. Her appearance also caused the surrounding male players to collectively turn to stone.
I glanced at the assassins and said, "Let's go to White Gate and then Fallen Feather Mountain!"
"Yes!" The two girls nodded in unison.
And so, the three of us crossed the main road of White Cloud City, left White Cloud City, and entered Moonlight Forest. Then, we headed toward Fallen Feather Mountain!
Qin Yun flipped the map and said with a smile, "Players seem to have forgotten about Fallen Feather Mountain. It's just too far from White Cloud City, and there's such a long map of Moonlight Forest in between. Most people wouldn't choose to go there …"
I smiled. "In reality, there aren't many people who can go there to grind. The depths of Moonlight Forest are filled with monsters over Level 80. It's not a place normal players can endure ~ ~"
Qin Yun couldn't help but smile. "What about us?"
"Us?"
I raised the Frost King's Sword and smiled. "With me here, besides Bloody Fortress, I can take you anywhere you want to go!"
Ling Xue smiled. "Since you're so strong, why don't you take me and Sister Qin Yun to the Icy Plains of Despair in Icy Wind Valley to grind levels?
I heard that there are many elite mobs over Level 140 there … "
I said awkwardly, "If you're not afraid of being one-shot by mobs, I'll go with you …"
"Heehee, I'm not going!"
At this time, there was a rustling sound in the forest behind us. Immediately, Ling Xue became slightly alert. She frowned and said, "It looks like we're in a bit of trouble …"
Qin Yun immediately raised her staff and cast Truth Shield on herself. With this Priest Shield, unless it was a top-tier assassin like Melancholy, it wouldn't be easy to one-shot Qin Yun.
However, there were no players behind us. Ling Xue put her hand on the hilt of her sword and smiled. "It's an assassin. Sister Qin Yun, be careful …"
I immediately activated Eye of the Stars. A huge red magic formation immediately covered the area in front of us. Under the effect of the skill, three black figures appeared!
"Hmph, all of you, come out!"
I quickly equipped my Star Chasing Bow and fired a Thousand Blade Arrow. Under the rainbow light, the three invisible figures immediately appeared. Under the destruction of the Thousand Blade Arrow, their weak bodies couldn't withstand a heavy blow. Just one round of Thousand Blade Arrow was enough to take out more than half of their HP!
Clearly, the three assassins didn't think that they would be discovered from so far away. Seeing this, the assassin at the front gritted his teeth and said, "Second Bro, Third Bro, go all out. Use Charging Raid to kill the priest!"
Ling Xue smiled. "Idiot, one for each!"
I nodded happily. As I slid to the left, my Ice Sword flashed and the assassin lost almost 5000 HP. He stood there, dazed and dead. At the same time, my name was covered in a layer of red.
I looked at Ling Xue again. She had already cut down the other assassin, but the other activated Charging Raid and actually passed by her, pouncing directly at Qin Yun.
Ling Xue gritted her teeth and the Thunderclap Sword in her hand shone. A sword light fell, and the assassin had nowhere to hide. He was also instantly killed!
The last assassin still charged at Qin Yun. Qin Yun smiled calmly and waved the Staff of the Earth. Curse and Punishment fell almost at the same time. The assassin's body was covered in a layer of red. His speed decreased, but he still charged at Qin Yun.
Qin Yun didn't seem to want to torture this assassin to death. She only asked, "We don't have any grudges. Why do you want to kill me?"
The assassin gritted his teeth. "It's your fault for having such good equipment!
Also, Arrogant Maniac has already put up a bounty in White Cloud City's Adventurer Guild. Anyone who kills anyone from Xue Yue Studio will receive 20000 RMB! "
Qin Yun was slightly shocked. "So he's killing people for money..."
I smiled. "Lin Ao really is willing to spend money. Twenty thousand RMB per kill. Does he think that just anyone can kill us?"
Ling Xue said, "Although he can't kill us, he can make us tired..."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Unfortunately, we weren't able to lure Lin Ao and Blood Drinker of the World into Soul Break Valley. Otherwise, let's see if Lin Ao can still be so arrogant!"
I walked up and killed the third assassin. I said to Qin Yun, "Stop playing around. Let's go to Fallen Feather Mountain. We can't stay here for too long. Otherwise, we'll have to stay up all night again."
Qin Yun smiled and nodded. "Yes."
Ling Xue and I led the way. Although the monsters in Moonlight Forest were strong, after meeting the Ice King Sword and Lightning Sword, they were nothing. This time, with a super beautiful Priest like Qin Yun, there wasn't anything to worry about. Qin Yun and I only needed to focus on killing.
After cutting down a Wild Forest Bear, I said, "Ling Xue, tell Ling Yue and the others to be careful. Since Arrogant Madman has put up a bounty in the Adventurer Guild, then there must be many Assassins in need of money trying to find out where we are. Don't ambush them and get killed."
Ling Xue smiled. "Don't worry!
I just contacted my sister. This time, they brought close to 20 people to grind. Flying Fire and Melancholy are both there. They are all top tier experts. Also, my classmates, Spring And Autumn Dance, Flying Fire, Liu Ying, and Wind Wounded are all there. Little Qiao, the Level 52 Priest, is also there. Don't tell me you doubt Little Qiao's healing ability? "
I smiled. "Since it's Ling Xue's classmate, then it shouldn't be too bad.
Ling Yue also has [Ice Armor] to protect her, so there shouldn't be any problems. However, I have to warn Xia Zhi to be careful. She is also a cloth armor class, so it's too easy to kill her … … Forget it, if I kill her then I kill her.
Why are you two looking at me like that … … "
Ling Xue said with disdain, "Xia Zhi is so pitiful. No one loves her … …"
I said, "It's fine. She will love herself. In this world, not everyone revolves around you. It's not a bad idea to let Xia Zhi understand this … …"
Ling Xue tilted her head and looked at me. Her expression was very cute. She teased, "What about me?"
I glared. "What you? Hurry up and kill the monster. That wild bear is about to jump into your arms … …"
"Ah … …"
The little beauty cried out and retreated. The Wind Spirit Beast Cece used a sleep spell to sleep the wild bear that had ambushed her.
Qin Yun smiled and said softly, "Scholar's words make sense … …"
"What sense? It's all to trick those big-chested brainless girls … …" Ling Xue said indignantly.
I smiled. "Xia Zhi's chest isn't big. Don't wrongly accuse me."
… …
The three of us chatted and laughed as we killed our way out of Moonlight Forest. When we looked up, we found that the entrance to Fallen Feather Mountain was already in front of us. The four Twin-headed Ogre Warriors had respawned again.
"Watermelon, sleep one. I'll solo two. You kill one!" I gave the battle order.
Ling Xue smiled cheerfully. Her Wind Spirit Beast had already charged forward while I attracted the aggro of the two Twin-headed Ogres. I faced them head-on. After a round of melee skills and a Flame Dragon Soar, a Twin-headed Ogre's HP was instantly reduced by more than half. The ogres weren't easy to deal with either. They swung their thick stone spikes repeatedly and my HP dropped by a large chunk!
Fortunately, Qin Yun was in the party this time. She healed me with two consecutive heals and brought my HP back to full. The other monster immediately swung its stone awls at Qin Yun.
Qin Yun didn't dodge. She just used a curse to reduce the monster's movement speed.
"Roar roar!"
The Twin-headed Ogre Warrior brandished his stone awl and charged forward. At this moment, a cold glint flashed as a sharp sword pierced through the Ogre's thigh. A layer of frost quickly formed.
I pulled out my sword and used Total Annihilation to pull the monster's aggro back.
After taking care of the monster in a few moves, I looked back at Qin Yun and asked, "Why didn't you retreat and dodge?"
Qin Yun smiled faintly. "That's because I believe in you..."
I stilled. Even an idiot could see the affection in Qin Yun's beautiful eyes. But Ling Xue was right next to me, so I couldn't have any improper thoughts. Qin Yun seemed to see through my thoughts and smiled exasperatedly. "Hurry up and help Ling Xue kill monsters. Can you try to share your quest?"
I nodded and turned to help Ling Xue kill the other two ogres. In the party channel, I tried to share the quest to kill the ogre leader with Qin Yun. Unfortunately, this quest could only be accepted at the start and not shared with the party.
"I'm sorry, I can't share it..."
Qin Yun shook her head and smiled. "Haha, it's fine. The monsters here give a lot of experience anyway. I'll just treat it as two expert swordsmen carrying me to level."
And so, I opened the map and looked. To the north of us, there was a blood-red dot that showed the name of the location: Stone Fortress!
Along the way, we intentionally avoided the ogre camps because our goal was to complete the quest. Even if we wanted to level up, we had to finish the quest first.
When we got closer, we found that the size of the fort was beyond our imagination. Originally, I thought that the fort would be as big as a brick kiln to store soldiers. Who would have thought that when we lifted our heads to look at the fort, we would feel so small. This fort was so big that it looked like a super nuclear reactor!
"Crack, crack …"
Above us, two ogre warriors were barbecuing on the walls of the fortress. The thing they were barbecuing looked like a wild boar. The oil dripped onto the fire and gave off green smoke.
Ling Xue smiled faintly. "These two-headed idiots really know how to enjoy themselves. They actually went to such a high place to barbecue..."
