"Wah, what is this?"
I pulled Ling Xue back a few steps. Only then did I see a giant wolf covered in silver fur!
"Roar!"
The silver wolf howled into the sky. Its eyes were filled with blood-red light. In the blink of an eye, it began to fight with Ling 'er. The frost wolf that Ling' er had transformed into was a lot shorter, but it was clear that her strength was a lot stronger. Even the silver wolf's attack power could not break through Ling 'er's defense.
I threw an Eye of Stars over, and the silver wolf's stats appeared — —
[Silver Wolf] (Elite Monster)
Level: 135
Attack: 2450 ~ 3100
Defense: 2800
Health: 190000
Skills: Tear, Roar, Bloodthirst
Passive: One of the low-level guardians of Wolf's Howl Slope
… …
"Oh?
A Level 135 elite monster, not bad for leveling! "I laughed.
Ling Xue nodded and raised her sword. She swung her Snowflake Sword. The silver wolf was probably shocked. It never would have thought that this delicate little beauty would be so aggressive. In just one round of attacks, the silver wolf's HP dropped by one-fifth.
I also swung my sword forward and coordinated with Ling 'er's attacks. In the blink of an eye, the silver wolf's health dropped below half. Just as I expected, my hand heated up and a green light appeared. I suddenly used Flick Slash and instantly killed the silver wolf that only had half of its health left!
"Huala …"
After the silver wolf died, it dropped almost a hundred gold. There was no equipment, but the experience was good. It was more than 20 levels higher than Ling Xue and I. Basically, the experience was double that of people at the same level.
Ling Xue said, "Unfortunately, there is only one. It would be great if there were more. Right now, I am Level 108 79%. If there are more, I might be able to reach Level 109 before midnight. If I work hard for another day tomorrow, I can get the Flying Star Sword ~ ~"
I nodded and asked, "Ling Er, where did this silver wolf come from?"
Ling Er immediately turned back into human form and said, "From under that hill. Big bro, do you want Ling Er to take you there?"
"En, alright!"
I turned around and saw that Ling Xue was looking at me strangely. She said sourly, "Hmph, so Ling Xue knows how to talk. Bing Cha jiejie is right, all men over the age of 24 have loli complex tendencies!"
I pointed at my nose. "But I'm only 23 years old …"
"That's still the same …" The little beauty said angrily.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I hugged her shoulder and said, "Little girl, don't be jealous of NPCs. Ling'er is the daughter of the Phantom Goddess. We are just master and servant!"
Ling Xue blinked her eyes. "But … but some nightclubs let the waiters wear maid costumes. I heard that the old men like it very much …"
"Who did you hear that from?"
"I saw it on the cat pong …"
"Don't go to that kind of website again!
It's unhealthy … "
"Oh."
Of course, I also went to cat pong every day.
Thus, Ling Er led the way while Ling Xue and I followed behind. This was the border of the Ancient Battlefield. No wonder there was a new leveling spot. Along the way, after we passed by, the corpses that had been rotting for many years smelled the scent of living people and finally came out.
"Ga da … Ga da …"
There was a soft sound, and a huge bronze shield was lifted up. The person who used it was originally a pile of broken bones. The breastplate had long been broken, and the skeleton shield bearer's ribs could be clearly counted.
"Jie jie …"
The Skeleton Shieldman charged over. Ling Xue casually used a [Water Moon Slash] and a [Ice Sword Qi]. I also used a [Shield Breaker Slash] and [God Dragon Slash]. With a dragon's roar, the golden dragon contained within the sword qi instantly ravaged the Skeleton Shieldman's body. His ribs finally couldn't withstand the ravaging and directly broke. A white light of experience floated over Ling Xue and me.
Yes, a Level 128 strengthened monster wasn't enough for us to hunt. Our target was the elite Silver Wolf.
After walking for a short distance, I noticed that the scenery around me had changed. It was no longer the lifeless Primordial Battlefield. At the edge of the Primordial Battlefield, there was a beautiful hillside that stretched for dozens of miles. It was obviously a vast leveling ground!
When we stepped into this leveling map, we immediately received a notification —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Your party has entered the map Wolf's Howl Slope!
… …
"Oh?
Wolf's Howl Slope? "
Ling Xue laughed softly and took a few steps forward. She raised her sword and pointed ahead. She said with a smile, "Scholar, look, there's a small human camp over there. Why does this feel so familiar?"
I laughed. "Of course, isn't this just like back at Wolf's Ridge?
At that time, I was killed to Level 0, and you took me to Wolf's Ridge to grind! "
Ling Xue looked relieved. "Hehe, no wonder!"
"But your attitude towards me back then wasn't good at all …"
"We weren't close at all back then. It was already good enough that I took you to grind. What else do you want?" The little beauty looked at me with amusement.
I smiled. "Of course, of course. Let's go and accept a quest. Maybe we can really get you to Level 109 today!"
"Mn!"
When we got closer, we discovered that there was a simple human camp under the verdant tree. It was a pitiful sight. There was a huge hole in the tent, and it was simply made of twigs and leaves. In front of the tent, there were two human NPC soldiers surrounding a bonfire.
Looking at the sky, the silver-armored soldier said, "Rick, the sky is gradually darkening. I think it won't be long before those damned wolf packs attack us again. Last time, we lost the brave Hank and Hawk. This time, I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to complete this scouting mission …"
The soldier called Rick had a worried expression. He said, "Gu Lei, my loyal comrade. Right now, only the two of us are left of the ten-man scouting party. It looks like the Silvermoon Alliance's plan to pass through Wolf's Howl Slope and attack the heart of the Army of Darkness is going to be put on hold. We were too careless and got entangled here by the wolf packs …"
At this time, I walked up and said to the soldier Gu Lei, "You two seem to have encountered some trouble. Is there anything we can help you with?"
Gu Lei immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. "Heavens!
You are … adventurers from White Cloud City!
This is great! I didn't think that there would be adventurers from White Cloud City who would have the courage to come here. You don't know, but this damned ancient battlefield is filled with evil undead. It's so scary … "
Gu Lei stopped complaining and said, "Young warriors, if it is possible, as the commander of this temporary camp, I would like to ask you to help us complete a difficult mission!"
Ding ~!
System Notice: Do you accept the quest [Thorn Forest]?
… …
Without a doubt, I accepted it directly —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Your party has accepted the quest [Thorn Forest]!
(Current Quest Difficulty: 1200)
Description: Head to the forest on the right and cut down 100 wooden sticks. Sharpen them into sharp stakes to build a temporary camp. Also, cut down 100 clumps of thorny trees and place them outside the defensive perimeter to resist the wolf pack's invasion!
You must complete all of this within 60 minutes, or the wolf pack will flood the camp in an instant!
… …
Ling Xue was slightly surprised. She blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "What kind of quest is this?
How dare you send powerful heroes like us to do the work of fortification? "
I said, "Then just watch Ling Xue, I can do it alone!"
Ling Xue shook her head and laughed softly. "No, I'm coming with you. This quest is very interesting. It feels like a special wilderness survival training. Time is of the essence, let's go!"
I didn't have time to say anything else because Ling Xue had already dragged me into the dark forest.
It was a small, short forest. The stakes were about as thick as an arm, and they just happened to be the quest item we needed. Ling Xue swung her Snowflake Sword at a small tree and immediately cut off half of it. She swung her sword again and the tree fell to the ground with a "crack". She was smart and self-taught, so she quickly created a simple wooden stake.
I also began to work. The Soul Slayer Sword was clearly much sharper than the Snowflake Sword. I only needed one strike to cut a tree in half. I swung it up and down, and in just a few seconds, I had made a wooden stake.
Not long after, Ling Xue's little face was completely red. She was still working hard. A focused girl was often more attractive, and the current Ling Xue was undoubtedly enough to captivate all living things.
About half an hour later, I finished 100 stakes. I put all of them in my bag and returned to the temporary camp. I placed the stakes around the camp and Ling Xue carefully used the hilt of her sword to knock the stakes into the ground. I relied on my super high strength to push the stakes down, and with one hand on the stakes, I shouted like a martial arts expert, "Ha!"
"Puchi!"
The stakes immediately sank into the ground, and it was very deep!
Ling Xue laughed in surprise, "Wow!
What a strong internal energy! "
"That's, hehe … …"
It just so happened that the 100 stakes surrounded the camp, leaving only a small door. If they were all sealed, I wouldn't be able to get out. Next, I needed to cut down the thorny bushes in half an hour. This was much easier.
When I came to the thorny bushes, I swung my sword and cut wildly. It was like a fight between hooligans in a night market. In less than five minutes, the ground was covered in thorny bushes. I randomly picked up 100 stakes and returned to the camp. After spreading them around, I took Ling Xue to receive the quest...
The NPC soldier Gu Lei was very excited and said with a smile, "Your courage and wisdom are admirable. Come, this is the Silvermoon Alliance's reward for you!"
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have completed the quest [Thorny Forest]. You have gained 14,000,000 experience, 800 gold, 2000 Reputation, and the quest reward [Good Citizen Medal]!
"Puchi … …"
I almost spat blood. Good Citizen Medal?
I opened the bag and looked. As expected, there was a shining medal —
[Good Citizen Medal] (Medal type)
Strength: + 10
Agility: + 10
Intelligence: + 10
Passive: Increases the wearer's drop rate of top-tier items when killing mobs by 5%
Introduction: A medal that only good people can wear
… …
It was obvious that Ling Xue also received a medal like this. The little beauty was grinning from ear to ear. She pulled my arm and said, "Quick, put on the Good Citizen Medal and let me see if it looks cool."
I was speechless and put the Good Citizen Medal on my shoulder armor. I immediately felt like I had received some kind of blessing. It was probably that 5% drop rate of top-tier items!
This was the first time I got something like a medal in the game. Although it was a bit of a joke, this 5% drop rate was very real, and could even be said to be very rare!
"Hehe, it's pretty good!"
Ling Xue quickly put on her Good Citizen Medal. Then she looked happy, like a little girl who had just received her favorite Christmas present.
At this time, the NPC soldier started to tremble. The two of them trembled together as if they were having an epileptic fit.
I asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Lei looked straight at me and said, "Can't you see that we're afraid?"
I asked puzzledly, "What's there to be afraid of?
Hasn't the fortification been built? "
Gu Lei said, "You have no idea how terrifying those wolves are. Rick and I have lost the ability to fight. Young warriors, you must shoulder the heavy burden!"
This time, it was a forced continuation quest —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Your party has accepted the quest [Defense Against the Wolf Pack]!
(Current Quest Difficulty: 1700)
Quest Content: Kill all invading wolves and ensure that soldiers Gu Lei and Rick do not die.
… …
"Haha, this quest is simple!"
I held the Soul Demise Sword and stood at the gap in the entrance of the camp. I had the aura of one man holding the pass against ten thousand.
Ling Xue smiled lazily and said, "Then you hold the fort. If you're tired, I'll be your substitute!"
"Okay!
Wolf pack, come quickly. My beautiful sheep is waiting for you to come and eat lamb … "
Ling Xue smiled and said, "Who's your beautiful sheep!"
"Of course it's you!"
Due to the powerful Divine Dragon Slash, I really wanted to see the power of the Divine Dragon Slash in a dense battle. I had never looked forward to monsters coming to my door as much as I did today!
It didn't take long for the wind to pick up and wolf howls to shake the heavens. The name Wolf's Howling Slope wasn't for show. As the rustling sounds grew closer, a large pack of wolves soon appeared in front of me. Among them were Silver Wolves and a type of Gold Wolf. They were also Level 135 elite mobs. In my eyes, these were just moving experience!
"Coming!
Coming! "Ling Xue was even more excited than me!
I smiled and ordered, "Ling Er, prepare to use Sword Slash!"
Very quickly, the pack of wolves rushed forward. Ling 'er quickly raised her sword and attacked. A sharp slash swept out in all directions, and the Health Points of a large group of wolves plummeted!
Ling Xue wasn't idle either. She sent a Profound Ice Sword through the air and the wolf pack howled again. Our attack was a bit inhumane.
I swung the Soul Demise Sword and felt a vast power flow into the blade. In the next moment, I swung the longsword — — Divine Dragon Slash!
"Roar!"
Sword energy shot through the sky, and the golden dragon within it instantly wreaked havoc. Instantly, the wolves in front of us were badly battered, and screams filled the air. Although they were a pack of wolves, in the eyes of Ling Xue and I, they were actually a flock of sheep.
With the sudden increase in experience, Ling Xue was full of anticipation. I was also full of anticipation. What kind of reward would we get after this quest is completed?
Would it be a treasure like a Good Person Card, Virginity Recovery Potion, Contraceptive Hammer, or something like that?
