Grigory was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He immediately shouted, "Hey, Soul of Fire, help!"
The Fire Soul had been accumulating magic. That Great Fireball was clearly not a normal Fireball. It took a lot of time. At this time, I had already turned around, creating a diversion. I turned around and slashed at the Fire Soul!
Whoosh!
The sword light was sharp, and the Fire Soul's gaze turned cold. He immediately gave up on accumulating magic and used an instant Fireball with his staff, dealing 1400 damage to me.
The Ice Sword slashed down like a hot knife through butter, but it missed. A bright light flashed in the air and there was nothing there. The Flame Soul's [Flash] skill was really well timed. If it was just a little later, I would have been sent flying by it.
Without a doubt, there wasn't a single Mage that could withstand my [Shield Breaking Slash]. Even Ling Yue with her [Ice Armor] wouldn't be able to. The [Shield Breaking Slash]'s effect was just too overbearing.
The light disappeared, and the Fire Soul was dozens of yards behind me.
I groaned inwardly. It was too difficult to fight a mage without Charge!
At the same time, Grigory also chugged down a potion and swam around from afar. His technique was quite similar to Paralyzing Wind of Sorrow.
I thought for a moment. Yes, kill the mage first. This mage with a full set of top-tier equipment was too much of a threat to me!
The Fire Soul seemed to see through my thoughts and immediately retreated. At the same time, he shouted, "Gregory, stop him!"
I looked around. Of course the assassin didn't dare to stop me. Gregory had less than half of his health right now. He couldn't even block one of my attacks.
And so, I chased after the mage. The Fire Soul had an ugly expression on his face. As he ran toward Gregory, he said hatefully, "Fuck, I already told you not to touch a tiger's ass. Blood Drinker of the World forced us to do this strenuous and unrewarding business!"
Gregory took out a short bow and hit me twice. Seeing that he couldn't break through my Defense, he smiled helplessly. "Every time we die, Drinking the World will compensate us 100,000 RMB. Even if we die, it doesn't matter, as long as we try our best!"
I went up and slashed the Fire Soul's HP. I said, "Why didn't Seven-star Lamp come?
If he was here, you would have succeeded. "
Gregory sneered. "Seventh Brother doesn't need to deal with trash like you!"
"Hmph!"
In an instant, I brushed past Gregory's shoulder. However, Gregory stepped into the shadow trap that I had secretly left behind. A few shadow tentacles pulled on Gregory's boots, immediately slowing down the assassin's movements.
I took a step forward and chuckled. "Next time, bring Seven-star Lamp with you. Blood Drinker of the World really can't think of a way to keep me below Level 80!"
Gregory snorted coldly. "You failed this time, but you'll definitely succeed next time. Don't get ahead of yourself!"
"Do you think there will be a next time?"
I raised my eyebrows and casually swept my sword across Gregory's neck. The half-health assassin couldn't withstand such a blow. He immediately turned into a beam of white light and returned to the city. He dropped a bunch of potions. Unfortunately, his name wasn't red, so he didn't drop any equipment.
The Soul of Fire was a smart person. Seeing that the situation wasn't good, he immediately turned around and ran towards the location of the Ogres. When I chased after him with my sword in hand, I saw the Soul of Fire revealing a strange smile.
Whoosh!
A blue light flashed, and the Spirit of Fire made a shocking move. He boldly used Blink in the direction of the three Ogres. In the next moment, he appeared in front of the Ogres, but he didn't alarm the three Ogres that were roasting the Ogres!
My heart sank. This was perfect distance control. There were probably only a few mages in China who had this kind of awareness. Damn, this Fire Soul was hard to deal with!
The Fire Soul chuckled and immediately threw a Fireball, dealing over 1000 HP. At the same time, he said, "Even if you are the number one expert, you will still be tortured to death by me."
I also chuckled and said, "Really?
It seems that you have forgotten, I am not afraid of long-range attacks! "
After saying this, I raised my Ice Sword, and a [Flame Dragon Soar] swept out!
The Fire Soul was slightly startled and hurriedly put up a Flame Shield. It blocked most of the effect of the [Flame Dragon Soar], but the Fire Soul's pitiful HP was still reduced to less than half!
I quickly switched to the Star Chasing Bow and shot an Armor Piercing Arrow. A milky white light tore through the air!
"Pa!"
The Armor Piercing Arrow hit the air, but the Fire Soul had already retreated out of my attack range.
There were three Level 110 Ogre Warriors in the middle, so I didn't dare to act rashly. I had no choice but to circle around them. However, the Soul of Fire had already Blinked away. At the same time, he shouted, "Just you wait, I'll be back!"
I laughed. "Next time, I definitely won't let you leave alive!
If you have the guts, have Arrogant Maniac and Blood Drinker of the World come. I will be happy to play with you all night! "
"Hmph!"
The Fire Soul coldly snorted and disappeared into the forest.
I let out a sigh of relief. The PvP had temporarily come to an end. After the expert assassin, Gregory the Loyal, died, there weren't many people in the Bloodthirsty Alliance that could threaten me. According to the intel, the highest-level assassin in the Bloodthirsty Alliance was Gregory. The others were all below Level 65. They would be detected within 30 yards of me, so I didn't have to worry about being ambushed at all. Gregory would come again in an hour. This was enough time for me to properly train.
I picked up the high-level potions that Gregory dropped. Hehe, it looked like this night wouldn't be lonely. With Blood Drinker of the World and Arrogant Maniac's tempers, there would definitely be a big battle at Fallen Feather Mountain tonight. I would have to be careful and train here.
But this was good. With me alone attracting so many of their experts and wasting game time, this was a good thing for Snow Moon.
I equipped my Ice Sword and carefully came to the entrance of the ogre cave. A team of four Ogre Warriors were patrolling, each holding a stone awl.
I used Eye of the Stars and the stats of the Ogre Warriors appeared in front of me — [Twin-headed Ogre Warrior] (Strengthened Monster)
Level: 110
Attack: 1350 ~ 1650
Defense: 800
Health: 50000
Skill: [Heavy Strike]
Bonus: The violent ogre tribes have not been drawn into the flames of war. They live in the depths of Moonlight Forest in Fallen Feather Mountain. They often ambush passing humans and feed on their flesh and blood. The patrols of White Cloud City are helpless against these savage monsters …...
Yep, they were all strengthened monsters!
From the official information, strengthened monsters had a respawn time of about 10 hours. If I killed these four patrolling ogres, then if someone came looking for trouble, I would probably be able to directly charge in.
After thinking for a moment, I decided to leave these four ogres alive. After all, with my level and stats, I might not be afraid of these four ogres surrounding me. But the people of Blooddrinker and Pride were different. These two guilds only had a handful of high-level experts. If I wanted to enter this ogre cave, I would definitely have to advance step by step. It was impossible to not alarm the patrols.
And so, in a short five minutes, I calculated the four ogres' movements. The moment they walked out of the cave and were about to turn back, I flashed into the cave. Coincidentally, I didn't attract the monsters' aggro.
The cave was blood-red, and the walls were the color of blood. There were also some human skulls hanging on the walls. Some pine nut oil had been poured on them, and they had been made into simple tools for ogres — street lamps. However, these street lamps emitted light from the human skulls' eye sockets. It was truly terrifying.
Behind me, the four ogres were gradually getting closer. I hurriedly took a few steps forward. Not long after, I suddenly saw an enormous ogre warrior trembling in front of me. The distance was too close, and I attracted the ogre's aggro. The ogre immediately roared and raised its stone awl to attack me.
I faced it head-on, and swung my Ice Sword repeatedly. A round of Total Annihilation + Shield Break Slash took away more than half of the ogre's health. The ogre's attack on me was negligible. I had continuously used [Dragon Armor] for the past few days, and it had already reached the intermediate level. The 20% defense effect was very powerful. The ogre's stone awl hit my body, but it didn't even deal 300 damage. I didn't even need to heal myself. I could just rely on the Blood Fiend Necklace's lifesteal effect to recover the damage.
"Kacha!"
My sword flashed, and the ogre fell to the ground with a whimper. It dropped dozens of gold coins and a Bronze-grade bracer. I didn't care that much. Since I had the Undead Water Bag, my inventory had increased to 500 slots. I just had to take it all!
I took care of the first ogre by myself. It was very easy. I opened the minimap, and to my surprise, I saw that the ogre cave was actually very large. However, there were many forks in the road. In front of me were two paths. The one on the left was winding, and in the middle, there were a few wide halls marked with the words "Ogre Hall". It must be a gathering place for monsters.
The other path was even more rugged. After eighteen turns, it was like a sheep's intestine winding around a small red dot. On the map, the small red dot's name was "Ogre Prison"!
I couldn't help but smile. Very good, this Ogre Prison looks interesting. Alright, I'll choose this path. I want to see what kind of good things are locked up in the Ogre Prison.
And so, I chose the fork on the right and killed my way through. After killing nearly a hundred strengthened ogres, a completely blue ogre finally appeared in front of me. Its body was much larger, and its expression was ferocious. It must be an elite ogre race. Under the Eyes of Stars' appraisal, it really was an elite — [Elite Ogre Warrior] (Elite Monster)
Level: 110
Attack: 1550 ~ 1850
Defense: 900
Health: 80000
Skill: [Smite]
Bonus: (Omit the nonsense)
… …
I was secretly delighted. It really was an elite monster. There was hope for my grand leveling tonight!
I went forward and attacked it with a round of skills. Even though it was an elite monster, I still took out nearly a third of its health. The ogre roared angrily and used its stone awl to reduce the damage dealt by [Dragon Armor]. In the end, I only took 600 damage. This meant that I only needed to deal over 6000 damage to it to recover the lost health.
My normal attacks could take out over 4000 of the elite ogre's health. With the addition of skills, I didn't need to worry about health at all. The Blood Fiend Necklace that Seven-star Lamp dropped on me had played a crucial role. Yep, long live the Seven-star Lamp!
After finishing off the Ogre Elite with a few strikes, there was a cry of pain, and the monster's mountain-like body fell to the ground. It dropped a pile of gold coins and a blue cloth — [Ogre Fur]: Quest Item.
… …
I didn't know what it was, but I tossed it into my bag!
I continued to kill. Most of the ogres that appeared along the way were elite ogres. It was as if they were waiting for me to grind experience. At most, three ogres would appear at the same time. Due to my confidence in my stats, I took on three ogres head-on and killed them all. In the end, I only lost 1000 health after killing them all!
Looking at the three ogres' corpses, I couldn't help but laugh. Even I couldn't believe my killing efficiency!
The quest item [Ogre Fur] continued to drop. Every elite gave me a strip of cloth. Looking at the exposed muscles of the ogres, I was a bit confused. The fur looked like strips of cloth. Could it be the ogres' crotch wrapping cloth?
At this time, my communicator suddenly lit up. It was a call request from Ling Xue —
"Idiot!
What's going on? "
Ling Xue's voice was a bit anxious. "Blood Drinking the World has gathered a few hundred experts over Level 60 at the eastern plaza. They're threatening to tear you to pieces. What's going on?
Are you stirring up trouble outside again? "
I smiled. "Just now, two people from Blood Drinking Alliance ambushed me. I killed one and killed the other. It looks like Blood Drinking the World really doesn't want me to be the first to reach Level 80 …"
Ling Xue's voice was full of worry. "Are you going to be okay by yourself?
Tell me where you are, I'll be right there … "
I smiled. "Be good, stay with me and level. Trust me. Seven-star Lamp and Chrysanthemum Daohana shouldn't be here yet. Without them, no one in Blood Drinking the World can stop me!"
Ling Xue hesitated and whispered, "Then be careful. If you die, I'll beat you up!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, alright. Hurry up and level. You have to reach Level 78 tomorrow. I want to check your level!"
"Hehe, got it!
I promise I'll complete the quest! "
I turned off the communicator and continued to focus on killing monsters. The people from Blood Drinking Alliance should be here in an hour and a half. Yep, I can still level a bit during this time.
Another hour passed, and I reached the fork on the right. I had collected more than 300 Ogre Pelts, and my experience had increased by quite a bit. In just two hours, I had gone from 12% to 19% at Level 79. It looked like I would be able to reach Level 80 just by killing these Elite Ogres tonight.
A few minutes later, I reached the end of the path. There was a stone cell in front of me. Through the rough cracks, I could see a dispirited old man sitting inside. His clothes were almost completely tattered, but he held a thin needle in his hand. He was sewing something. This old man's name was "Master Tailor Ryan."
A premonition rose in my heart. Haha, an interesting quest is coming!
