Ling Xue comforted her. "No, no, the ice has solidified a long time ago. This place is basically an iceberg, not a snowy mountain, so there shouldn't be any avalanches."
Qin Yun finally relaxed.
Ling Xue waved her sword and used War Roar, adding 40 Attack to my damage.
I took out the Star Chasing Bow and fired a Thousand Blade Arrow at the sea of mobs in front of me. Countless damage numbers jumped up in the colorful light. With my current Attack, Advanced Thousand Blade Arrow could deal more than 2000 damage to a single mob. The area of effect was quite wide, so it could hit about 100 mobs. This meant that a single Thousand Blade Arrow could deal about 200k damage, and the cooldown was 5 seconds. In other words, my damage per minute was almost 2.4 million!
Ling Xue and Qin Yun were also dumbfounded. The two girls exclaimed at the same time, "Sick... this is sick!"
I laughed out loud. This way, with my DPS, I would definitely be the main force of the entire team. I reckon that half of the experience would also go to me. Anyways, I was happy to have these two girls accompany me to kill monsters, so I was happy to share half of the experience with them. Also, Qin Yun, the little Cleric, was a must. Without her, I wouldn't be able to tank the Swift Wolf's attack at all.
Gradually, I felt that my equipment was running out of stamina too quickly. At my current position, there were two Swift Wolves that could attack me. One was fine, but two was a bit difficult. Even Qin Yun's healing was starting to run out of steam.
Ling Xue also saw the clues and said exasperatedly, "Idiot, can't you get a hunter to close in on you?
You're so patient to just let a wolf bite you … "
I was too nervous to show my face. I was so nervous that I forgot such a simple principle.
I switched to the Ice King's Sword and killed the Ice Valley Swift Wolf on the left in two hits. A Hunter with 1400 Attack took its place while I switched to my Star Chaser Bow and attacked the right. Basically, the Hunter's attack was negligible. The four pieces of Dark Gold – grade metal armor I was wearing weren't just for show.
This way, the offense and defense were balanced. The damage the monsters dealt to me and Qin Yun healed me was balanced. I didn't need to use potions to recover my health anymore.
Ling Xue wasn't idle either. She leaned on my shoulder and used her Ice Sword Qi and Fire Phoenix Flames to kill monsters from afar.
And so, I often heard a whooshing sound in my ears. A blue sword energy followed by a fiery red phoenix landed among the monsters, wreaking havoc!
Although our damage was maddeningly high, these elite monsters had ridiculously high HP. A single Ice Valley Swift Wolf had more than 80,000 HP. I used Thousand Blade Arrow to attack a Swift Wolf, but it took me about 5 to 8 minutes to kill it.
Killing them was tiring, but the feeling of seeing large swathes of mobs fall to the ground as experience and drop large amounts of equipment and gold was exhilarating. Unfortunately, there were just too many mobs, and we didn't have the time to pick up the loot. We could only wait until they were all dead before we could go out.
There were more than 500 elite monsters, and it took us more than an hour to kill them all!
Kacha!
When I cut off the last Swift Wolf's head, I finally let out a sigh of relief and walked out of the frozen hut. Ling Xue laughed happily. "Idiot!
Idiot!
Hurry up and clean up the battlefield! "
Cleaning up the battlefield was definitely a happy process, and we all enjoyed it. Qin Yun also helped us pick up the equipment and gold.
It took them a full 10 minutes to pick up the layers of equipment and gold coins. There was simply no way to calculate how many gold coins there were, so everyone counted the items they picked up as their own …
My bag was filled to the brim with all kinds of Silver-grade and Bronze-grade equipment. There were only potions and equipment. Black Iron – grade equipment was ignored and left outside for the monsters to grind.
I looked into the distance and saw that there were still many Ice Valley Swift Wolves and Ice Valley Hunters to kill.
I grinned. "We're rich today..."
Ling Xue nodded in agreement. "Yeah..."
Qin Yun asked with a smile, "Do you want to return to the city and put the equipment in the shop before coming back?"
I shook my head. "There's no need to walk around, it's a waste of energy. Qin Yun and I will continue to grind mobs later, and we'll use up a lot of our Mana Potions. Once we run out of Mana Potions, we'll just make space for the equipment. Also, if we can't fit all the equipment, we'll just throw away the Bronze-grade ones and keep the Silver-grade ones. Bronze-grade items aren't worth much anyway, and a Level 55 Bronze-grade item can sell for less than a hundred gold..."
Qin Yun nodded. "Mn, alright then!"
And so, we continued to grind mobs!
After five hours and three waves of mobs in a row, the number of mobs we needed to kill was actually full. However, there were still a lot of elite mobs roaming around the canyon to our right. It would be a waste to let them go like this. Ling Xue and Qin Yun didn't want to let them go either, so they all agreed to it. The point of the quest was to grind levels anyway, so it was only a matter of time before we killed all the elite mobs in this place.
The three of us didn't even eat dinner and grinded mobs until it was past 1 am. Finally, there wasn't a single elite mob left in Frozen Canyon.
"Thump!" After 13 hours of grinding with Thousand Blade Arrow, I felt like I was about to collapse. I sat down next to Ling Xue and leaned against her white and smooth legs. I could die of happiness...
Ling Xue also sat down and leaned against my back. She said with a smile, "We should go out and pick up the equipment and gold that these mobs dropped..."
I was a bit numb. I looked at my bag. There were 100 slots, and almost 90% of them were taken up by equipment. The only remaining slots were a couple of potions, a return scroll, and the glowing Illusionary Spirit Orb.
Qin Yun said with a smile, "This time, we can throw away all the potions. We have to pick up all the Silver-grade equipment..."
In fact, I had been throwing away Silver-grade equipment since a long time ago. The main reason was that I didn't want anything with an additional stat of less than 10.
Therefore, I and the two girls cleaned up the battlefield again. My equipment was in terrible condition, especially my shield. It had long since run out of durability. Ling Xue was kind enough to lend me the Shield of Heavenly Fire for a long time, but by the time we finished the last wave, even the Shield of Heavenly Fire had run out of durability. My Gold-grade metal armor had long since turned red. Strictly speaking, I had killed the last wave naked.
This time, we had truly run out of supplies. We didn't have any potions or stamina, but our harvest was so bountiful that the three of us were grinning from ear to ear. The warehouse was filled with Silver-grade equipment, and we had earned more than 180,000 gold. What kind of concept was that?
In other words, the three of us had earned more than 150,000 RMB just from gold coins alone!
What was even more gratifying was the experience. The elite mobs gave a lot of experience. After a day of grinding, I actually leveled up from Level 72 to Level 74, 50% experience!
Ling Xue had also reached Level 72, and Qin Yun had leveled up from Level 67 to 4. A Level 71 priest could definitely reach the top of Spirit of Grief...
When I opened the Heavenly Ranking of the China server, it was even more shocking. The past two days were probably the craziest two days of grinding in the entire China server. We weren't the only ones who had leveled up by leaps and bounds. The number one female mage, Ling Yue, had risen from Level 67 to Level 70, and Hellfire had risen from Level 68 to Level 70. However, the most shocking thing was that mysterious Dark Swordsman, Seven-star Lamp, had risen from Level 65 to Level 71 in just two days!
He had risen 6 levels in just two days. What kind of concept was that?
I couldn't help but wonder if this person had exploited some sort of bug and kept killing bosses to level up so quickly.
The Heavenly Ranking had changed quite a bit. It was obvious that everyone was trying their best to reach Level 80. Everyone was equivalent to the number one player of their class, and the temptation of advancing to a hidden class was just too great — 1. Frivolous Scholar Level 74 Dragon Speaker 2. Windy Snow Level 72 Swordsman 3. Seven-star Lamp Level 71 Dark Swordsman
4. Zi Yun 'er Level 71 Priest
5. Breeze Touches the Moon Level 70 Mage
6. Hellfire Level 70 Tempest Warrior
7. Sword Fire Ghostburn Level 68 Dark Mage
8. Chrysanthemum Daohana Level 67 Soul Shaman
9. Battle Soul Proud Heaven Level 66 Berserker
10. Battle Soul Iron Wings Level 66 Mage
… …
The number one swordsman was Ling Xue, the number one priest was Qin Yun, the number one mage was Ling Yue, and the number one berserker was the boss of Battle Soul. As for the rest of the class experts, they hadn't surfaced yet, so we couldn't attract any attention.
We reluctantly left Frozen Canyon. When we came back tomorrow, there wouldn't be as many elite mobs for us to grind, and we would have to grind normal mobs again. Unless the mobs we were going to kill were elite mobs, we wouldn't be able to guarantee our leveling speed at all.
When we returned to the city, the first thing we did was to repair our equipment. Then, we went to the Appraisal Center to appraise all the Silver-grade equipment we had brought back. The appraisal fee alone cost 30k gold. When we exited the Appraisal Center, Ling Yue, Bing Cha, and the other girls were waiting at the plaza. Ling Xue took them to the Snow Moon Station Shop at the north gate.
Qin Yun followed me and said with a smile, "I'll sell the equipment I picked up in your shop!"
I nodded. "Okay!"
So, I went to the Scholar's Little Store and put all of the equipment on the shelves. I had sold all of the equipment that I had obtained yesterday, earning a total of more than 50,000 gold coins. I directly gave Qin Yun 20,000 gold coins. This time, Qin Yun didn't hold back and accepted it with a smile. She then said with a smile, "I have the money for car maintenance …"
I glanced at her. "Your car has been parked downstairs for days. I don't know if it'll still be able to start up …"
Qin Yun smiled. "It's fine, I don't go out often anyway ~ ~ ~"
After putting Qin Yun's equipment on the shelves, we logged off and went to rest. We were all tired after a day of hard work.
I took a cold shower and lay down on my bed, but I couldn't fall asleep.
So I went to the forums and found that the experience section was in an uproar. Countless shocking secrets about the newest leveling areas had been revealed. Middle-level players and noobs sighed because these leveling areas were places that most players couldn't even dream of — "Dark Swordsman Seven-star Lamp soloed Crow Ridge and leveled up 6 times in two days!
Crow Ridge is in ruins, and all the monsters have been killed! "
"Breeze Seizes the Moon led Snow Moon experts to Death Swamp. Ten party members' levels soared in two days!"
"Hellfire soloed Desolate Land and leveled up 2 times in two days!"
"Faint Chrysanthemum Daohana soloed Rain Moon Mountain Range and leveled up 2 times in one day. Rain Moon Mountain Range map officially unlocked!"
"Someone saw Frivolous Scholar, Breeze Flying Snow, and Zi Yun 'er enter the depths of Frozen Canyon. They are suspected to be doing a high difficulty quest. Their leveling speed is amazing!"
… …
The truth was out. Almost all the leveling areas of the experts on the Heavenly Ranking Board had been revealed. Everyone was envious, but the normal players couldn't do anything about it. The monsters in the leveling areas were all extremely powerful. Without a full set of Gold-grade equipment, it was impossible to survive. If you wanted to solo them, even a full set of Gold-grade equipment wouldn't be enough. Moreover, you needed to have powerful skills. Otherwise, you would only be tortured to death by the monsters in such a deep and quiet leveling area.
I didn't know where Arrogant Madman was leveling, so I searched for the keyword "Arrogant Madman". A series of posts about Arrogant Madman immediately popped up on the screen. Half of them were posts about Arrogant Madman bullying others. The other half were posts about the Arrogant Madman, and the rest were posts about the Arrogant Madman bragging about himself. The next half was news about Lin Ao. There were countless stories about the rich second generation. After all, if the girls who were used to seeing Meteor Garden saw a handsome rich kid like Lin Ao who drove a famous sports car, they would all fight to give their bodies to him …
Finally, in a pile of spam posts, I found the content of the past two days. It turned out that Arrogant Madman had fallen to Level 30. With Bloodthirsty Arrogance, which had fallen to Level 0, he was led by a group of Advanced Mages to Muguang City's Black Highlands to grind monsters. It was said that in two days, Arrogant Madman had reached Level 42, while Bloodthirsty Arrogance had reached Level 31.
I smiled. It looked like the battle between Snow Moon and Arrogant Bloodlust was far from over. Arrogant Madman definitely wouldn't give up on White Cloud City so easily. His only thorn in his side was Snow Moon. Snow Moon's fame was just too great. In the hearts of White Cloud City's players, Snow Moon's reputation was far higher than Like Water's. After all, Like Water only had an expert like Hellfire, while Snow Moon had countless top-tier experts.
After looking for a while, I finally got tired and fell asleep on my bed.
… …
Over the next few days, things continued to happen in the game. However, we didn't expect that the 1500 difficulty quest would be so overpowered. After a day of killing elite mobs, the remaining mobs were actually common mobs that wandered around the edges of Despair Icefield and Frozen Canyon. They were easy to kill, but extremely difficult to find. We spent the entire three days searching for mobs. My Level 74 50% experience bar had only risen to Level 74 97% after three days. It was as if Level 75 was a bottleneck that couldn't be broken through. After the 1000 Ice Demons and 1000 Icy Polar Bears were taken care of, the only thing left was the final boss, the Ice Empress!
