A white flash later, we found ourselves on a vast plain. The sound of a system bell echoed in our ears —
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have been teleported to the Headwind Plains!
The synthetic female voice of the system explained, "The Headwind Plains is located in the south-central part of the Spirit of Grief Continent. It is a land that has yet to be conquered by the Silvermoon Alliance or corrupted by the power of darkness. The masters of the Headwind Plains are a pack of ferocious carnivores that devour any living creature that passes by. This plains is a strategic location that both the Silvermoon Alliance and the power of darkness are fighting over!"
A tiger roar entered our ears the moment the system bell ended —
"Roar roar!"
We appeared at the edge of the plain. There were four ferocious tigers in front of us. Their bodies were covered in yellow fur, but their heads were blood-red. It looked as if their heads had exploded. These tigers stared at us with their blood-red eyes, and saliva dripped from their sharp teeth.
I activated Eye of Star and read the Red-Headed Tiger's stats in the party channel —
[Red-Headed Tiger] (Elite)
Level: 110
Attack: 1650 ~ 1800
Defense: 700
HP: 100000
Skills: Bloodthirst, Bite, Roar
Passive: Guardian of the Headwind Plains, Savage by Nature
… …
Xun Meng immediately let out a gasp of surprise. "Wow!
Their levels are so high! "
The girls of Xue Yue Studio were used to this. Bing Cha said with a smile, "It's just a Level 110 elite mob. Scholar, Ling Xue, let's go!"
And so, the three melee classes swarmed the Red-Headed Tiger together. Ling Xue's Wind Spirit Beast slept with a Red-Headed Tiger at the distance, and the three of us killed one each.
Crack crack! First, I used Whirlwind Slash and Ice Wind Thrust combo to test the Red-Headed Tiger's strength. A shocking damage number immediately rose above the Red-Headed Tiger's head — 5748!
“5239！”
As expected, fur-type beasts didn't have much Defense. They looked incredibly weak the moment I tested them.
The Redhead Tiger was enraged. It raised its claws and slammed them down on me. Then, it used its Tear skill on my shoulder. Two damage numbers popped up above my head — "523!"
“479！”
In comparison, the Red-Headed Tiger was at a complete disadvantage against me. It wasn't surprising though. The Red-Headed Tiger's Attack was 1800, while my Attack was over 2000. More importantly, my Attack was boosted by 25%, making it even more terrifying. The Red-Headed Tiger's pitiful 1800 Attack couldn't even compare.
Meanwhile, Xun Meng let out a cry of surprise. "Shusheng's Defense is insane!"
I couldn't help but smile wryly. These girls were so damn straightforward!
I turned around and saw that Ling Xue and Bing Cha weren't having it as easy as I was. The Red-Headed Tiger dealt around 800 damage to Ling Xue every time it attacked, and Bing Cha was in an even worse state. Every attack from the Red-Headed Tiger dealt around 1500 damage to her. Qin Yun had no choice but to focus her healing on Bing Cha while Xun Meng focused on healing me.
Less than two minutes later, the three Red-Headed Tigers collapsed with a whimper. The experience they received was bountiful, and Xun Meng even let out a shout of joy. "Heavens, this is so much experience! I gained 2% in one go!"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Xun Meng, your level is too low. This monster is almost twice your level, so you have to keep healing. Otherwise, you won't get any experience at all." "That's right, Xun Meng."
Xun Meng nodded vigorously. "Mn, I understand!"
Bing Cha picked up the gold and walked next to me. He asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Xun Meng?"
I thought for a moment before replying, "Her face is okay, but her chest isn't as big as Zi Yue's, and her butt isn't as perky as Xia Xia's. All in all, there's nothing attractive about her …"
Bing Cha let out an exasperated laugh. "Hmph hmph, that's honest!"
I chuckled. "She's just an inexperienced university girl. If Xun Meng's score is 50 points, then Bing Cha's score is at least 100!"
Bing Cha was pleasantly surprised. "Wow, no way, my score is that high?
Then what about Ling Xue and Ling Yue? What's their score? "
"200 points."
"..."
At this time, Xia Xia summoned the dead little wolf and walked over happily. She asked, "Scholar, Bing Cha, what are you guys talking about? Why are you so happy?"
Bing Cha replied, "We're talking about Beauty Xia Xia's body ~ ~"
Xia Xia immediately said excitedly, "Really? Really?
Scholar, look at my body. How is it now? "
After saying this, Xia Xia puffed out her chest, only to see that her original airport was starting to have some small peaks!
I was shocked. "Fuck!
No wonder the two steamed buns I prepared for dinner disappeared. Xia Xia must have taken the steamed buns and scanned your body again! "
Xia Xia stomped her feet. "I didn't, Zi Yue clearly ate those steamed buns. Scholar, you're so bad!"
Ling Yue was speechless. She said, "Let's continue killing monsters. Stop talking nonsense. Scholar, take care of Ling Xue. In another half a month, she will have to return to school to prepare for the start of school …"
"Oh?" I stilled. "So fast …"
Of course, the good days always flew by quickly. This principle was very obvious.
And so, we continued to kill monsters.
The Headwind Plains weren't very wide, and it would only take us an hour to traverse it. Moreover, the plains were shaped like a rectangle, so the quest would be complete as long as we killed all the mobs on the plains. Our party was moving along the right side of the plains, and we were basically killing all the mobs in the area.
At first, we were able to kill 4 Red-Headed Tigers together. Later on, our teamwork improved, and we were able to kill 10 Red-Headed Tigers at the same time. Ling Yue and Soundless Rain's kiting was a spectacle, and their teamwork was amazing. It was obvious that Soundless Rain and Bing Cha were true professional players of Xue Yue Studio, and they were much more professional than Xia Xia and Zi Yue.
As we ventured deeper into the plains, the monsters changed from Red-Headed Tigers to Level 110 elite Scarlet Flame Tigers. This Scarlet Flame Tiger was actually a magic attack monster, and the moment it opened its mouth, it would fire a fireball!
The good news was that Ling Xue and I had decent Magic Resist. Therefore, with the two of us tanking the monsters and the three priests healing us, our journey was as easy as ever.
The girls chatted restlessly as they leveled up. The topic changed from snacks to clothes, then from clothes to accessories. Finally, it changed from jelly ice cream to handsome guys. Xia Zhi said, "Wu Zun is the most handsome …"
I said, "Mn, his Mandarin is pretty good."
Zi Yue said, "Dongfang Shenqi is the most handsome …"
I said, "That's right. Little Ziyue, you should go see a brain doctor."
Bing Cha couldn't take it anymore. "Scholar, which man do you think is the most handsome and manly?"
I said without hesitation, "Of course it's … Wu!
Meng!
Da! "
The girls fell silent for a moment. Ling Yue thought for a moment and said, "I think so too …"
… …
It didn't take long for us to encounter a new type of monster — Thunder Tiger!
What was even more unbearable was that the Thunder Tiger actually knew how to use lightning magic. A single bolt of lightning could deal 1000 damage to me. This kind of attack power left me speechless. If several Thunder Tigers attacked me at the same time, they could almost one-shot me!
The party continued to push forward. Although the mobs were strong, we killed them quickly. My experience skyrocketed, and Xun Dreamy leveled up twice in four hours. She was so excited that she danced in joy.
I went from Level 77 68% to Level 77 89%. I would hit Level 78 in two more hours!
However, good times didn't last long. While we were happily killing the mobs, we saw another group of people appear on the Headwind Plains. It was also a ten-man party!
These ten people were blurry in the distance, and I couldn't see their names clearly.
Surprised, I turned around and asked Ling Xue, "Isn't this quest unique?"
Ling Xue shook her head. "No, I think it allows two ten-man parties to complete this quest at the same time. However, we have to kill the mobs twice because the quest item can't be picked up twice."
Ling Yue said, "Let's hope these people don't cause trouble. Let's complete this quest peacefully!"
I chuckled. "It's possible that they won't cause trouble. This quest is an elite mob, so the drop rate and experience are high. Even if we want to stay out of trouble, I'm afraid they won't allow others to steal our experience. Anyway, let's get ready to PvP!"
Ling Xue nodded excitedly. "Mn mn!"
A few minutes later, the other party approached us. They were players from the same guild, a new power in White Cloud City. Their guild name was — World's Calamity!
Ling Yue murmured, "World's Calamity?
I think I've heard of it before. The boss of this guild is a Level 68 swordsman called Devourer of the Heavens. I heard that he's a wealthy merchant in the Hangzhou area, and he owns four large chain internet cafes. He has recruited a bunch of local gaming experts and is currently rising rapidly in White Cloud City. "
I looked around and saw three familiar faces in the World's Calamity guild. They had murderous intent in their crotches, they kicked a widow's door in the middle of the night, and they said they wouldn't sleep with me!
All three of them were Level 64 mages. They were old acquaintances, and I had killed them more than once.
"Hehe, it looks like we have no choice but to PvP today!"
Ling Xue also noticed them, and her expression turned cold. "So it's these scum …"
The ten people from World's Calamity arrived in front of us at this time. The leader of the group was a swordsman covered in golden light. It was the boss of World's Calamity, Devourer of the Heavens. His equipment was at least Gold-grade, and I could vaguely see the shadow of a Dark Gold – grade item.
Devourer of the Heavens hugged his sword and said with a smile, "I didn't know that Snow Moon's expert had accepted this quest. What a pleasure to meet you!"
I took a step forward and said, "Perhaps this quest can be done by both parties at the same time, and we're all here to earn money and level up. That's why I hope we can get along."
Devourer of the Heavens was about to speak when I suddenly felt murderous intent in his crotch and whispered something in his ear. Devourer of the Heavens' expression immediately changed. He said coldly, "I heard that you killed three of my brothers, Frivolous Scholar?"
I stilled and said, "It was a small misunderstanding in the past."
"Misunderstanding?"
Devourer of the Heavens' tone turned aggressive. "You killed them and caused them to lose levels, and you call that a misunderstanding?
How about you let me kill them twice to get some equipment, and I'll say it was a misunderstanding as well? "
I suppressed my anger and said, "But that was before they joined the World's Calamity. What does it have to do with you?"
Devourer of the Heavens' gaze turned cold. "They're my brothers now, so I have to get back at them!"
I snorted coldly and raised my sword with a smile. "Since we've reached this point, then let's not beat around the bush. You think you can help three pieces of trash? Why don't you know how much you're worth?"
Devourer of the Heavens sneered. "The three of them are the main members of my World's Calamity. If I don't get back at them, how am I supposed to prove that I'm a good brother?
Hmph, don't think that all the high-level members of Snow Moon are here. You're just a few pretty girls who rely on other people to level up. I don't care about you! "
Beside me, Ling Xue couldn't help but say angrily, "Hey!
Devourer of the Heavens, your brain capacity is really low. You've been provoked into becoming enemies with just a few words. Is there something wrong with the elevator door? "
Zi Yue's heart skipped a beat before she whispered, "Ah, I think I was hit by the elevator door when I went out to buy breakfast this morning …"
The girls burst into laughter, but their laughter was no different from mockery in Devourer of the Heavens' eyes. Therefore, Devourer of the Heavens' originally dark face immediately turned red. He said angrily, "Dammit, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. I, I, will show Snow Moon what a professional player's skill is today. Brothers, kill them!
Assassins, go invisible, attack the priests and mages. Warriors, charge with me. Mages, attack and one-shot Frivolous Scholar! "
Devourer of the Heavens immediately spread out after it gave the order. Three of the assassins entered stealth.
I made the first move and threw out a [Flame Dragon Soar], instantly killing the berserker who was at the front of the group!
Devourer of the Heavens was dumbfounded, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't be afraid, attack!"
I chuckled and activated Intermediate Bloodlust. I charged forward. The other Lv 64 Swordsman wanted to counterattack, but my Ice Sword had already turned into a sharp light that slashed across his chest armor. With a "Ka Cha", a crack appeared on his Silver-grade armor. My Ice Sword followed the momentum and completely ignored the opponent's Defense. I used a Shield Break Slash and instantly killed him!
I turned around and used Total Annihilation. A third warrior was instantly killed, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
My name was already red, so I couldn't care less. The more I killed, the less threat the girls of Snow Moon would feel.
At the same time, two rays of red light appeared. Qin Yun was ambushed by two assassins. Fortunately, she had the effect of a priest's shield, so Qin Yun only lost 2000 HP. But it was still dangerous. The enemy assassins were high-level and had good equipment. They were basically all Gold-grade. Qin Yun could not withstand such a powerful attack.
"Ling Yue, use Thousand Miles of Ice!
Freeze the other assassin out! "I shouted.
Ling Yue understood and quickly waved her staff. Thousand Miles of Ice landed on the empty ground. Although it missed, because it was an AoE attack, the wretched assassin still showed himself. He was about to ambush Qin Yun's retreat!
