"What?
What the hell is that? "Dragon Soul exclaimed in shock.
I immediately used Eye of Star and received a notification that it was too far away to use it!
The only thing I was sure of was that this treant was definitely the final boss of the eighth wave. There was no way a normal monster could deal so much damage to White Cloud City's walls!
Ling Yue bit her lips and said, "Someone has to kill their way over and get rid of this boss. Otherwise, White Cloud City will be smashed to pieces by the rocks!"
"Mn."
I nodded and patted the Fire Cloud Leopard. "Let's go out of the city!"
Who would've thought that this guy would be so cowardly? It charged the city walls twice, but it didn't have the courage to jump down. It was because there was a sea of Dryads below the city walls. Even though it was only a Level 135 elite mob, the Fire Cloud Leopard didn't hesitate to attack it.
I gritted my teeth in anger. "You animal!
I'll sell you off for a cheap price sooner or later. Just you wait! "
I jumped and scared the mount away. Ling Xue immediately came up to me and asked in concern, "What are you doing?"
I said, "I'm going down the city walls to kill that stone-throwing Dryad boss. Otherwise, White Cloud City will fall if the walls fall.
Oh right, are there any bosses in the other three directions? "
Ling Xue shook her head. "No, there's only one boss in this wave. Are you sure you want to go?
Take me with you! "
"No, you don't have an invulnerability skill. You won't be able to come back, but I'm different!"
Ling Xue gritted her teeth and finally nodded. "Be careful and come back alive!"
"Mn."
At this time, Qin Yun walked up to me and said, "Scholar, take me with you. Otherwise, your HP … will be quickly drowned by the Dryads …"
I hesitated for a moment, but Ling Xue and Ling Yue said at the same time, "Don't think about it anymore. Take Sister Qin Yun with you, okay?
Don't use a return scroll. After you kill the boss, bring Sister Qin Yun back! "
I thought for a moment and decided that this was the best plan. So, I started —
"Pa!"
I kicked the Fire Cloud Leopard hard in the butt. The leopard let out a roar and fell down the city wall. I wrapped an arm around Qin Yun's waist and said with a smile, "Let's go!"
"Whoosh!"
The wind howled, and the two of us jumped off the city wall. At the same time, I started pressing the skill buttons on my mount as hard as I could.
The players on the city wall were shocked. "Ah!
Why did Frivolous Scholar jump down?
Is this guy tired of living? "
Obviously, I was only trying to protect White Cloud City from being destroyed.
At least the Fire Cloud Leopard was tactful. It circled around the city and finally leaped into the air, catching me and Qin Yun in midair.
"Pa!"
I landed firmly on the leopard's body and held Qin Yun in my arms. The two of us were riding on the same mount, and the mount's owner could withstand all attacks. As long as I didn't die, Qin Yun wouldn't take any damage!
Under the gazes of almost a hundred thousand players, I carried her down the city wall. The two of us fell like meteors, and Qin Yun was very happy. She immediately waved her staff and said with a smile, "Scholar, let's go and kill that Big Tree Spirit!"
"Wait!"
"What's wrong?"
I looked around and urged the Fire Cloud Leopard to charge forward. I reached out and grabbed a ring that glowed with green light. This was the item that the giant puppet beast had dropped. I had been eyeing it for a long time, so I decided to be a lone hero and look for a reward for myself. I wasn't the kind of person who would lose money!
I looked at it and saw that it was an Earth-grade ring. It added 15% physical resistance and 15% healing. It was perfect for a small priest like Qin Yun.
I stuffed the ring into Qin Yun's arms and said with a smile, "Let's earn some money before we even get to the city, hahaha!"
Qin Yun couldn't stop smiling. She said softly, "Scholar is the best!"
I laughed and didn't say anything else. Instead, I slapped the Fire Cloud Leopard's butt with the back of my sword and shouted, "Leopard, charge toward the boss! Ignore everything!"
The Fire Cloud Leopard roared and rose!
I swung the Soul Demise Sword in front of me. "Shua!" A milky-white sword light landed in the middle of the group of Dryads. The Dryads that were riding on their mounts were instantly killed. At least a few dozen Dryads were hit by the sword light, and a damage number of over 10,000 rose up above their heads!
The attributes of this mount were not simple at all!
As a result, I rode my Fire Cloud Leopard straight through the army of monsters below the city walls. There was no monster that could withstand the sharp edge of my Soul Demise Sword, and these Dryads attacked me with their tentacles. However, with the protection of my Dragon Armor and the defense of my mount, my Defense was basically unbreakable. Not to mention, I had a super beautiful priest in my arms. That made it all the more daunting than dangerous!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!
Sword light flashed, and the mobs that were low on health fell like wheat. Qin Yun's mouth fell open in shock. She said, "Scholar, a mount can really increase your attack to such a degree. It's … terrifying …"
I nodded and said with a smile, "That's why, the spring of the knight class has arrived. It's too difficult for normal players to learn how to ride, and it's impossible for them to kill super powerful bosses. In the future, when we build a cavalry army in Snow Moon, we'll be able to sweep these monsters away!"
Qin Yun pursed her lips into a smile. "That's true, but which Knight player in White Cloud City has as much Attack Power as you do?
Even if they have mounts, they're only slightly stronger than other professions … "
"Haha, that's true!"
At this moment, Qin Yun waved her snow-white fingers and a beam of white light fell from the sky. The 3000 HP that I had lost was instantly healed back to full. Damn, Qin Yun's healing is insane!
It didn't take long for us to charge out of the siege of the Dryads and reach the edge of the boss. This guy was really big. I bet he was dozens of meters tall, and he could reach the top of White Cloud City's walls if I stretched out my hand!
The boss's stats appeared under Eyes of the Stars. It was a Level 140 Heaven Rank boss, but it hadn't reached the level of a Ghost Rank boss yet. Now that I had a mount and Qin Yun, I should be able to solo it!
Therefore, I charged forward and swung my sword at it from afar!
Thud!
The Dryad Boss suddenly trembled. His HP had been reduced by "15672" with a single slash from my sword. This wasn't even a bonus skill, just the bonus attack from the mount. As expected, my current attack power was just too strong. I could basically ignore the Boss's Defense!
"Roar!"
The Dryad boss wasn't one to take a beating without retaliating. It immediately changed its target and threw a rock cannonball at me!
"Bang!"
The Fire Cloud Leopard's attack wasn't something that could be dodged with movement skills. The Fire Cloud Leopard staggered backward and I lost over 6000 HP in an instant. The good news was that the damage wasn't too serious. Riding on top of the Fire Cloud Leopard, I received another 6000 HP. Right now, my total HP was over 20000. Thanks to Qin Yun's healing, I was perfectly safe!
The boss could toss a Rock Bomb every 5 seconds, and Qin Yun's healing was 100% guaranteed to exceed 20000 in those 5 seconds. I didn't have to worry about anything at all. I immediately urged the Fire Cloud Leopard to circle around the boss. At the same time, I swung my sword and slashed at the treant's body. Although the boss had a lot of HP, it definitely couldn't withstand such a powerful attack. Not long after, its HP dropped below half.
It was at this moment Qin Yun turned around and asked with a smile, "Scholar, you want to reach Level 120 as soon as possible, right?"
"Yes, I do. What's wrong?"
Qin Yun blinked and smiled. "Why don't you leave the party and take the boss's experience for yourself? You should be able to reach Level 120 by then, okay?"
I thought about it for a moment. Hmm, I don't think there's anything I can do right now. In fact, the next two waves of monsters were likely to be very powerful. If I could ride an Immortal-grade Flame Warhorse, my chances of winning would increase by a lot. At the very least, I would be much stronger than this cowardly Fire Cloud Leopard!
I immediately told the party about it, and everyone expressed their understanding. Ling Xue and Ling Yue supported me wholeheartedly. Since the two beauties had spoken, the entire White Cloud City had no objections. I immediately left the party and added Qin Yun to my party. She left without hesitation and said with a smile, "This time, I'll help you level up for free!"
"Hehe, Qin Yun is the best!"
"Of course ~"
In less than half an hour, the Dryad Boss's HP had been reduced to its last sliver. The surrounding Dryad minions were too slow, so they were left far behind by the Fire Cloud Leopard. They couldn't even catch up to me, so they couldn't interfere in the slightest with my plan to kill the boss.
"Haha, Qin Yun, take a guess. What equipment do you think it will drop?"
Qin Yun smiled. "I want a set of Heavenly God Equipment. Hmm, let's call it the Statue of Liberty Set …"
My eyes widened. "You're not talking about a cloak that reveals your chest, a skirt, a divine book in your right hand, the Holy Bible, and a divine staff in your right hand, the Olympic Torch, right?"
Qin Yun burst into laughter. "That's so ugly. Plus, it's a cloak that reveals my chest? Hmph hmph, I'm not going to wear something like that!"
"In other words, you're willing to wear it?"
"Hehe, if you want to see it, I'm going to force myself to wear it …" Qin Yun smiled. "In the past, my Shuizhu Corporation didn't hire any models. I did all the endorsements myself. It's about the same. Hmm, I even saved a lot of money …"
My eyes widened. "It's not bad to be born a beauty. You have the capital!
Ling Yue is the same. Last time at the Bluestar Company, she was the one who shot the film. Hmm, she's beautiful! "
Qin Yun glared at me and smiled. "Hmph hmph, tell me, am I beautiful or is Ling Yue beautiful?"
"Of course you're beautiful."
"Then, am I beautiful or is Ling Xue beautiful?"
"Of course it's Ling Xue."
"Stop it!
You can't even tell Ling Xue from Ling Yue! "
"Hehe …"
At this time, Qin Yun cried out in surprise. "Ah!
The boss died! Let's go and collect the spoils! "
"Mn mn mn!"
I rushed over. There were just too many gold coins, and I scooped them all up. As for equipment, I had two Earth-grade metal armors and an Earth-grade staff that increased my max HP but didn't have high Magic Attack. I was going to give it to Summer when I got back. She was also holding a broken Dark Gold – grade staff that looked like an old woman's staff.
I looked at my experience and was shocked — Level 119, 99%!
I'm only 1% away from reaching Level 120. Hahaha, this is truly an exciting moment!
Qin Yun said, "We should go back!"
I swung my sword at the surrounding Dryads and asked to join the party. Ling Yue gave me face and sent me away. White Cloud City was so densely packed with players that I didn't dare to get too close. I was afraid that I'd be burned to death by my own people's flames.
At this time, Ling Yue seemed to have noticed something and immediately ordered in the guild channel, "Everyone, change to peaceful mode and don't accidentally hurt Scholar!
Stop attacking the southeast corner! "
Below the city, the dryads were practically jumping into the fire pit and turning into experience. The party I was in was the main force, and their DPS had reached a terrifying level!
Swhoosh!
A ray of golden light later, I successfully reached Level 120. I could learn the Light Barrier Defense skill now!
However, I couldn't leave right now, and Bing Lan was most likely soloing the third boss of Spirit of Grief, Frost Warsong. Even if I went to Longyu, no one would be willing to teach me. Bing Lan was the only person I was familiar with in Longyu. As for the Dragon Knight and the giant dragons, they didn't even know who I was.
"Hey, Scholar, how are you going to get in?" Ling Xue shouted anxiously from above the city walls.
I was also a bit confused, so I shouted, "Xiao Xue, can you go down and open the east gate for me?"
Ling Xue put on a wronged expression. "No, I can't beat the NPCs guarding the gate. They're fierce, and they won't let anyone open the gate …"
I was speechless. At this time, an eagle flapping its wings suddenly appeared above my head. It was Phantasm Girl Ling Er!
A ray of golden light later, Ling Er also reached Level 120, and the eagle she transformed into seemed a bit more majestic. It seemed that letting her take us up was a feasible solution!
So I shouted, "Ling Er!
Come here, can you take Sister Qin Yun up the city walls? "
Ling Er transformed into a young girl and said with a smile, "Of course, no problem …"
"Alright!
Qin Yun, you go up first, I'll follow soon after! "
"Mn!"
I sat on my mount and hugged Qin Yun's waist as I lifted her up. Ling 'er transformed into an eagle once again. Her huge eagle claws grabbed onto Qin Yun's arms and she easily flew up.
I turned around, and a large group of dryads was closing in!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I unleashed a Divine Dragon Slash. Not only that, the range of the Divine Dragon Slash had also increased. Amidst the resplendent light, countless Tree Spirits were reduced to white light. Honestly speaking, leveling like this was really fun!
Soon, Ling Er returned and took me up the city walls. I put away the Fire Cloud Leopard so that it wouldn't get killed by the dryads.
