Clouds spread, and the Primordial Battlefield was filled with walking corpses. The souls of ancient warriors roamed this cursed land.
I avoided the main monsters and advanced with Ling'er. The reason I didn't want to come into contact with the monsters here was because the monsters here were not all elite. Elite monsters were equivalent to squad leaders. Most of the monsters were strengthened or normal monsters, and they were scattered around. It was more suitable for ordinary players to grind. For me, it was fine. If I relied on killing these monsters to level up, my level would immediately be surpassed by Seven-star Lamp and the others.
After walking for about an hour, I parted the clouds and found an enormous object in front of me!
"Damn!
What is that... "
I was slightly shocked. In that ancient land of white bones, a conical tower suddenly appeared!
There was a lot of ice and snow floating on top of the tower. It was almost like a tower of ice. However, what surprised me even more was that this tower wasn't sitting on the ground. On the contrary, it was floating in midair, and right below it was a large blue magic formation that was slowly rotating!
Ling'er also had a shocked expression. She said, "This... isn't this Floating Ice Tower?"
"Hm?
Ling'er knows the origin of this tower? "
I never thought that my pet's intelligence would be this high. It seemed that I had a portable game database!
Ling'er nodded and said, "Yes!
In the past, I followed my mother to travel the continent and saw this Floating Ice Tower. I even fought with the owner of the ice tower, the Profound Ice Ghost King. But Ling'er was still young at that time and did not have the strength to defeat Profound Ice Ghost King. "
"Is the Profound Ice Ghost King strong?"
"Not bad. He controls the seventh floor of the Floating Ice Tower and is a very fierce fellow!
Legends say that he lives by devouring the blood of virgins... "
"No way?" My jaw almost hit the ground. There was such a fierce boss?
Seeing my surprised expression, Ling'er chuckled and said, "But Brother Scholar, you don't have to worry. The Mystic Ice Ghost King knows that I'm the daughter of the Phantom Goddess. He won't dare to do anything to me. Plus, his body won't be able to withstand the Goddess's Blood. He'll explode and die …"
"Oh, I see. Then Ling'er should be careful."
"Got it."
Actually, what I really wanted was to kill the Profound Ice Ghost King. Floating Ice Tower was at the center of the Primordial Battlefield, just like Bloody Fortress was at the center of Icy Wind Canyon. They were both important leveling spots. Then, I could tell that the Profound Ice Ghost King in Floating Ice Tower would not be low level!
If it was as Ling'er said, wouldn't it be able to kill this super boss directly if Ling'er dripped a drop of blood for the Xuan Bing Ghost King to drink?
Hmm, this is an opportunity, I need to grasp it well …
As I was thinking, there was a commotion in front of me. I saw a human elite NPC army arrive. There were also a few commoners. One of them was a white-bearded grandpa. He was clearly an elder.
When I walked over, the human officer looked up at Floating Ice Tower and said with a serious expression, "Village Chief Buru, I am sorry!
Floating Ice Tower is too tall. We did not bring any wind mages, so we knights and swordsmen are powerless. Your granddaughter … "
The white-bearded grandpa immediately cried and said, "But my pitiful granddaughter Nia was kidnapped here yesterday. It must be that despicable Profound Ice Ghost King in Floating Ice Tower!
Damn, Nia is just an 18-year-old girl. Is that Profound Ice Ghost King going to drink all of Nia's blood just because of her virgin blood? "
The officer showed a trace of fear and said, "Profound Ice Ghost King?
Heavens, this terrifying devil!
He's the one who killed Grandmaster Sword Saint Roger of White Cloud City. Damn it, we can't do anything to him. The Mystic Ice Ghost King is too powerful, and humans can't handle him at all. Also, there are a lot of walking corpses in Floating Ice Tower, we can't … "
The white-bearded grandpa was greatly disappointed and said with tears, "Even the kingdom's army cannot save Nia?
Forty-one girls of our village have died here. Why didn't the Silvermoon Alliance ask Longyu's Dragon Knight to kill this despicable Profound Ice Ghost King? "
The officer sighed. "Dragon Knight is the strongest existence of the human race. Their blood will only stain the claws of the leader of the Army of Darkness. Profound Ice Ghost King... is not worthy of the Dragon Knight... Village Chief Buru, let's go back. Maybe, there are other ways..."
The old man sat on the ground and sighed at the sky, "Nia, if you can't be saved, I'll stay here with you and die with the Mystic Ice Ghost King!"
Seeing Village Chief Buru's stubbornness, the NPC officer shook his head and left with the soldiers.
I immediately realized that the chance to accept the quest had come!
Therefore, I immediately went forward with Ling'er and said to Village Chief Buru, "Old man, was your granddaughter really taken to Floating Ice Tower?"
The old man nodded. "Yes!
Profound Ice Ghost King injected dark power into the virgin's body. In seven days, if Nia cannot be saved, she will be drained of all her blood and die... Young adventurer, I beg you!
Help me save Nia, and I will give you a great reward! "
I was waiting for these words!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Do you accept the quest [Floating Ice Tower]?
I immediately clicked accept —
System Notice: You have accepted the quest [Floating Ice Tower]!
(Quest Difficulty: 1700)
Description: In order to save Village Chief Buru's granddaughter, you must find a way to enter Floating Ice Tower. The first to sixth floors of Floating Ice Tower are filled with terrifying undead creatures. Please clear out these undead creatures within 144 hours, and then report to Village Chief Buru for the next step of the rescue operation!
… …
So that's how it is. First clear the path, then kill the boss...
I was relieved. But this was good because my goal was to grind mobs and level. It would be great if there was a quest to grind with me. This Floating Ice Tower looked like a super flying saucer. There had to be a lot of mobs inside. If I killed them all, I would reach Level 90 or above!
But the biggest problem now was, how could I get up Floating Ice Tower?
Right now, the mount system had not been activated, so there were no warhorses, much less battle eagles or dragons that could take players flying. But... didn't I have Ling'er?
I suddenly realized and turned to Ling'er. "Ling'er, this Floating Ice Tower is so tall, can you take me up?
Just fly to the entrance of the first floor... "
Ling'er looked up and said, "It may be difficult, but we can try..."
"Alright!
Then prepare to begin... "
"Mn!"
Ling'er leaped into the air like a goshawk and grabbed my arm with her sharp claws. She pulled at my arm with great strength, and I soared into the sky. However, the Floating Ice Tower was too tall, and Ling'er felt tired halfway up the tower. However, she continued to fly upward, her wings flapping loudly.
Finally, when we were about to reach the top, Ling'er let out a cry. She couldn't hold on any longer!
With quick reflexes, I hurriedly pulled out my Ice Sword and slashed at the base of the Floating Ice Tower. The sharp Earth-grade sword sank into the sword hilt and hung me at the bottom of the Floating Ice Tower.
Ling'er drooped weakly on my shoulder. It looked like I could only rely on myself.
So I held the hilt of the sword and climbed up. I grabbed the protrusion of the Floating Ice Tower with one hand and pulled out the longsword. I stabbed it into the ground again as a support. After a few repetitions, I finally reached the entrance of the first floor of the Floating Ice Tower!
"Ling'er, we're here. Prepare to fight!"
Ling'er obediently turned into a bear. However, when I stood up, I smelled a pungent stench coming at me!
Looking through the small entrance, it was bustling with activity. Almost all of them were Undead creatures. There were Skeleton Warriors, Skeleton Spearmen, Corpse Ghouls, Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Knights, and so on. There were all kinds of them.
After a glance, my heart trembled. There were so many monsters, so densely packed together!
This time, I was solo and didn't bring a priest, so I had to be careful.
Thus, I first looked around, but I couldn't find a suitable place to hide. After thinking for a while, I decided not to look, and just kill them at the door. Ling 'er blocked in front of me. This way, at most two monsters would be able to attack me. With my defense, it shouldn't be a problem for me to rely on potions.
Under my mental command, Ling'er turned into an eagle and lured a group of monsters. Then, she quickly flew back, turned into a bear, and blocked in front of me. Immediately, the vast undead army charged over. However, in my opinion, these monsters were just experience.
They were all Level 120 strengthened monsters, and there were a lot of them!
Just the wave that Ling'er lured probably had over a thousand monsters. Also, compared to the first floor of the Floating Ice Tower, these 1000 monsters were just the tip of the iceberg. The total number of monsters on the first floor was definitely over 10000!
Fortunately, they were all strengthened monsters, so we killed them quickly. I switched to my Elemental Bow, and after a wave of Thousand Piercing Arrows, a large group of monsters lost HP. Then, I raised my hand and used Afterimage Strike, instantly killing a row of monsters. Then, I followed up with another Thousand Piercing Arrows. The nearby skeletons were like tickles to me. Each hit only dealt 200 HP or so, which was negligible compared to my current 9000 HP.
This time, the solo grind was extremely satisfying. The Level 120 strengthened monsters had less than 50000 HP, and my Thousand Piercing Arrows could deal almost 5000 damage with a single attack. After ten waves of Thousand Piercing Arrows, the mobs fell to the ground, and the white light of experience flew. In less than half an hour, all 1000 mobs became experience under my Thousand Piercing Arrows.
There was no time to pick up the equipment and gold that the mobs dropped. If I moved, I would have to aggro the mobs, so I could only order Ling'er to transform into an eagle again. In the blink of an eye, another wave of the undead army pressed down on us. I was so happy that I didn't have to move, and continued to mechanically repeat Thousand Piercing Arrows. At the same time, my experience rapidly rose.
At this time, a burst of laughter came from the guild channel. I opened it and saw that it was Chrysanthemum Daohana joining my guild — The World.
Dragon Soul said with a smile, "Beauty Fragrance, welcome to Snow Moon's [The World]. From now on, The World has another great beauty!"
Chrysanthemum Daohana laughed. "Hello everyone, please take care of me in the future..."
Judging Sky said, "Of course, of course. You are Boss Scholar's friend, so you are our friend."
Dragon Soul said, "Tomorrow morning, I have a 9 o 'clock flight. I will arrive at Wuxi Airport around 11 o' clock. What about you guys?"
"We're earlier than you!" Gui Zhi and Judging Sky said in unison.
Flying Fire said, "I'll drive there myself tomorrow, it won't take long."
Melancholy said, "Wow, people with cars. I'll take the Route 11 bus tomorrow morning and walk there myself!"
"Wow, people with legs!"
I smiled. "Welcome to Suzhou, all of you. Tomorrow, Ling Yue, Ling Xue, and I will personally receive you!"
We laughed together. "Haha, you're too polite!"
Inside the guild, when the other players heard that they would be able to see the sisters in person, their eyes immediately turned red. They roared, "We want to go too!
We want to go too! "
I couldn't help but smile. "Next time, I didn't book that many hotel rooms this time..."
After that, I contacted Ling Xue's leveling party —
"Beauties, how's the grinding going?"
Ling Yue said, "Uh … I accidentally froze a few players to death when I was farming earlier. My name is now red, and those newbies are clamoring for people to come and kill us …"
I became nervous. "Is that so?
I'll go back to the city immediately. Damn, which idiot dares to PK our Snow Moon boss? "
Ling Yue: "Cough cough, Scholar, I was the one who PK them..."
"Oh?
Then let's see if they have the right to be killed! "
Qin Yun: "Then... powerhouses, should we focus on leveling?
Just now, I contacted the people who were frozen to death and explained that it was an accident. They said that they would let us go for Snow Moon's sake... "
Ling Xue wanted to see the world in chaos and said with a smile, "Ah?
There's no more fighting?
It's best if they come, I'm free! "
Ling Yue: "Snow, there's no chance for you. Focus on grinding, and stop luring mobs. If Qin Yun's Defense wasn't high enough, she would've been toyed to death by you. How can there be such an irresponsible tank like you..."
"Oh... I'll go back now. I'm on the fifth floor of the cave. What about you guys?"
"We're on the first floor..."
I finally couldn't resist. "Cough cough, Ling Xue, are you guys grinding together?"
"Hehe, I promise I won't run around next time..."
… …
I turned off the communicator and continued grinding. It seemed that Ling Xue and the others were having a good time.
Around 5 pm, I finally cleared out the sea of mobs on the first floor of the Floating Ice Tower. The rich experience allowed me to rise from Level 87 to Level 88. Finally, I reached the top of the China server's Level Ranking, suppressing the Level 87 Bing Cha.
I had to say, soloing was really fast!
Aside from the experience, the mobs also dropped almost a hundred thousand gold and over a hundred pieces of Level 80 Silver-grade equipment. Half of the warehouse was filled with all kinds of Level 80 Silver-grade equipment. These were the results of the last two hours of grinding. At least 60% of the items dropped by the mobs on the first floor had already been respawned. There were simply too many mobs, and I didn't have the time to clean up the battlefield.
At dusk, I logged off and ate dinner before going back online. My goal tonight was to clear the third floor of the Floating Ice Tower as well!
