A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and I spent almost all of them in dungeons. Sky City was a dungeon I couldn't miss. Even if I didn't have any equipment, just the rich experience was enough to make me tempted.
The night we touched Ling Xue, we all ran the Sky City dungeon together. However, we didn't fight the last Heavenly Winged Demon Boss because my Flaming Dragon Soar was still on cooldown. Without a fire dragon as a mount, we had no chance of defeating this super strong Heavenly Winged Demon Boss.
Thankfully, four pieces of Sky Equipment dropped in one night, and Ling Xue's Sky Set was complete. At the same time, Like Water also gave up on fighting the last boss. He just wanted to farm experience. Solitary Grave decided to wait until everyone in the party was over Level 190 before challenging the Heavenly Winged Demon Lord.
Soul Battle Robes was even worse off. After being tortured for an entire night and getting wiped multiple times, Battle Soul Proud Heaven decisively decided to grind levels first.
On the contrary, our progress was very smooth.
On the second day, Summer and Silent Rain temporarily left the dungeon party. Bing Zhiyi and Fleeting Time joined in. With the help of Affection and Flaming Dragon Flight, we successfully killed the Heavenly Winged Demon Lord for the second time. Moreover, we were lucky enough to get another Sky Battle Robe, which Bing Zhiyi took.
We grinded it again at night. All we needed was a pair of wristguards to complete the set.
On the third day, we killed the Heavenly Winged Demon Lord for the third time. This time, it didn't drop a chest armor, but we did get another set of Sky Armor. As a result, the Snow Moon Alliance had Ling Xue, a swordsman with the Sky Set, and Dream of Snow Moon had Bing Zhiyi, a Dragon Knight with the Sky Set.
Fleeting Time also collected four pieces of Sky Equipment, but the chest armor was too hard to find, so they had to postpone it. They were still more than ten levels away from Level 200 anyway, so there was no need to rush. There was still a long way to go!
In these three days, my leveling speed skyrocketed. When I killed the Heavenly Winged Demon for the third time, I had reached Level 195. I also saw that the mobs in Sky City were Level 255!
Of course, we were all wrong to begin with. We were all tricked by the game developers. Eternal Moon's explanation was that the current player level cap was 255, but there was no strict limit to the levels of monsters, especially bosses. It all depended on how the mainframe wanted to grind them.
The moment he said that, the players of Spirit of Grief were infuriated. They cursed on the forums: Why the hell did a Level 1000 boss suddenly spawn? Doesn't that mean one monster can slaughter White Cloud City?
That being said, I didn't think that Eternal Moon Corporation was that stupid. If the players couldn't play, then the game company wouldn't be able to make any money. Now that the auction house was open to the public, business was booming, and a single auction was worth over a hundred million RMB. The processing fees alone were more than enough to make the game company happy, not to mention all kinds of taxes. In any case, the game company would only be able to make money if the players had something to do.
On the fourth day, as soon as he went online, he received a message —
"Di!"
Player Solitary Grave: "Scholar, I have something to discuss with you!"
Oh?
Why is he looking for me so early in the morning?
Feeling suspicious, I requested to talk to the other party. Lonely Grave's tone was urgent. "Shusheng, help me!"
"Yes, what is it?"
Solitary Grave hesitated for a moment before saying seriously, "I want to hire you and Zi Yun 'er to help me grind Sky City once. My request is to kill the third boss, the Heavenly Winged Demon!"
I couldn't help but smile. "This …"
"What do you want? Just say it!
I have both money and women … "
I thought for a moment and decided to help him. At the very least, he would owe me a favor. Also, I could use this opportunity to investigate June Flying Snow and Purple Lily's stats. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. At least I wouldn't be at a loss when I ran into Fleeting Time's team in the WSL.
"Alright, uncle. I can help you with this, but I only have one request!"
Solitary Grave was overjoyed. "Alright, tell me!
I'm fine with any request! "
"Okay, my request is that I want the experience from all three bosses. In other words, I want half of the experience when the boss is about to die!
As you can see, I'm grinding right now, hehe … "
"No problem. Let's meet next to the assembly stone in an hour!"
"Mn!"
… …
I told Ling Yue about it, and the beautiful boss expressed her approval. She was going to take Ling Xue, Snow Sight Grass and the others to grind Sky City today. Of course, it was purely for the EXP. There was no way they were going to kill the last boss.
Inside the guild territory, the girls came online one after another. I told Qin Yun about it, and Qin Yun agreed without hesitation. She said with a smile, "We're all here to get experience anyway. It doesn't matter which party we go with …"
Whoosh …
Silver light flashed, and Ling Xue came online. A line of words appeared above her head: Windy Snow LV-193!
Everyone had leveled up quickly these past few days!
Ling Yue was Level 193, Bing Cha was Level 202, and even the priest Qin Yun was Level 190. She was unquestionably the top priest on the leaderboards.
Another ray of light. The world's top player, Bing Cha, had come online. He wore a beautiful Fate set and held a spear with flowing light. It was the Divine Weapon Breaking Dawn, a Level 200 High-grade Immortal-grade weapon!
Right now, Bing Cha was a force that could not be ignored. No matter what party he was in, he was the core of the main force. His Attack and Defense were at the peak, and it would be difficult to surpass him in a short period of time.
However, when Bing Cha saw my level, he sighed and said, "It's over!
Scholar is leveling up so quickly. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my first place on the Heavenly Ranking in a week. "
I smiled. "You're too humble."
Ling Yue said, "Alright, alright. Let's get ready to go.
Today, Scholar and Sister Qin Yun will help Fleeting Time kill the Heavenly Winged Demons. The rest of us will form a party. I'll call the Guardian Of Swordfire and the priest Jiang Nan Xiao Qiao. We should have no problems killing the first two bosses. "
"Okay, let's go!"
… …
I pulled Qin Yun to the front of the Blazing Warhorse and set off. At the same time, I summoned Ling Er to open the path. The beautiful Phantom Girl wielded a divine sword and spread her wings. She flew dazzlingly at the front of the party.
Along the way, countless players looked at me in shock. Up until now, no pet had been as eye-catching as Ling Er. There had never been, and there would never be. Who told Ling Er to be a goddess-like NPC!
Of course, if someone had the Charisma to bring Bing Lan to grind with them, then I would have nothing to say. However, it seemed that I was the only player who could do this.
In less than an hour, we reached the gathering point of Sky City. There were dozens of players gathered here, and some of them were from Fleeting Time. Solitary Grave and Hellfire were among them. There were also some players from Soul Battle Robes. Neither side looked friendly. If I had arrived any later, they would have started fighting.
He was filled with regret. Why did he come so early? He had missed a good show.
"Hahaha, Scholar is here. Let's go!"
Solitary Grave laughed and added Qin Yun and I into the party. Then, he waved his sword and shouted, "Brothers, let's go! We must defeat that bastard Heavenly Winged Demon today!"
"Defeat him!
Push him down! "A group of people shouted with flushed faces.
Qin Yun smiled faintly. The two girls from Fleeting Time, June Flying Snow and Purple Lily, blushed slightly. The girls had never seen the world before, so their imaginations immediately ran wild when they heard about defeating him.
Everyone entered the dungeon map together. Solitary Grave asked me respectfully, "Scholar, will you be the commander?"
I replied respectfully, "No, Uncle Solitary Grave will be the commander!
I can be the DPS main tank, and Qin Yun is a high-attack priest. She can heal and attack. "
"Oh?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Lonely Grave's face. He looked back at his family's June Flying Snow. Obviously, this little loli was also an offensive Priest. It was just that he didn't know who was stronger between her and Qin Yun.
"Alright then!
Scholar, Hellfire, Guardian of the Rye, you three will be the tanks. Everyone else, focus on DPS. You three priests, keep an eye on HP and don't die. "
"Got it!"
Qin Yun quickly cast a Resurrection Prophecy on me. Then, she sent me a message: "Should I cast a Resurrection Prophecy on them?"
"Go ahead …" I replied with a smile.
Qin Yun also smiled back. A while later, the skill cooldown was over, and she immediately cast a Resurrection Prophecy on Solitary Grave. Solitary Grave was dumbfounded, and June Flying Snow and Purple Lily were drooling with envy. Resurrection Prophecy was an extremely rare skill, and not every priest could learn it.
The dungeon progress was unusually smooth, and the boss appeared in front of us after we wiped out all the mobs in the City of Men.
"How do we kill it?" Solitary Grave asked for my opinion.
I replied, "Charge and chop it in the head!"
"Good strategy …"
"..."
And so, we charged the boss and slashed it in a frenzy.
June Flying Snow stood in place and chanted. Suddenly, she opened her hand and let out a shout. Several sword auras flew toward us. It was none other than the Sword Spirit Wizard's unique skill, Sword Control!
Crack crack crack!
Three damage numbers appeared above the monster's head — 11380, 14394, 12239!
"Haha, June Flying Snow's Attack is pretty good!" Solitary Grave praised with a laugh. His little sister nodded shyly.
Suddenly, Qin Yun's Holy Light Slash descended from the sky. The boss shuddered!
“54927！”
The shocking damage number immediately rendered June Flying Snow speechless. Her mouth fell open, and she couldn't say a word.
In comparison, Qin Yun's damage was much higher. After all, her Dazzling Colors set boosted her Magic Attack by a lot. Right now, Qin Yun was a standard high-level priest, and June Flying Snow couldn't compare to her at all.
"Amazing …" Purple Lily said with wide eyes.
Qin Yun smiled humbly. "It's okay. When your equipment is up, Retribution alone can deal a lot of damage."
OMG, Qin Yun really knows how to comfort people. I don't know how long it'll take for Retribution to hit us.
… …
Under the ferocious attacks of the group, the first boss's HP was almost empty.
Solitary Grave opened his hand and shouted, "Everyone, retreat. Let Scholar kill this boss!"
Hellfire, June Flying Snow, Purple Lily, Beggar's Sect's Little Mi, and the others all retreated. But at this time, a discordant voice suddenly sounded —
"Why?
We're fighting the boss together, and you're giving him the experience? "
The one who spoke was a knight holding a golden shield. It was Like Water's current main tank, the Radiant Knight Guardian of the Rye!
I smiled and said politely, "Solitary Grave should have told you, right?
I'm here to help. I only want the boss's experience. I won't touch the equipment. "
Guardian of the Rye wanted to say something, but Solitary Grave shouted, "Guardian of the Rye, retreat, do you hear me?"
"Understood!"
Guardian of the Rye glared at me and retreated resentfully.
I ordered Ling Er, "Kill the boss!"
Ling 'er immediately raised her low-grade divine weapon and used Phantom God Slash. I used an Afterimage Strike and then a Rising Dragon Strike. After a couple of powerful skills, the boss that still had one-tenth of its HP fell to the ground. I earned half of the experience, and the rest was distributed to the rest of the party.
After killing the boss, I and Ling Er retreated and said, "Uncle, let's go see the equipment?"
"Thank you!"
Solitary Grave picked up the equipment and dropped a Sky set helmet. He tossed it to Hellfire and said, "Lil 'Fire, this is for you. I have it …"
Hellfire nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, boss."
"Thank you, my ass!"
"..."
I walked over. Guardian of the Rye still looked angry. Looking at this Knight of Radiance, I was puzzled. He was a Knight of Radiance, but why was his heart so dark? So petty!
Hellfire's attitude was clear. He walked up and patted the Knight of Radiance's shoulder. He said with a smile, "Don't worry. Scholar helped us kill the Empyrean Winged Demon this time. He gave us so much face. I just want some experience, it's nothing …"
"Hmph!" The other still did not give me face.
Hellfire was angry. "Fuck!
If you have the guts, kill the Empyrean Winged Demon for me to see. You can't do it yourself, and you want to compete with others? What kind of logic is this? "
When "Second Brother" got angry, the Knight of Radiance was terrified. "Just let him get the experience, I didn't say anything …"
"Tch!" Hellfire gave him the middle finger.
We continued to kill monsters. Our goal was Earth City.
The progress of Earth City was very smooth. We spent over an hour to kill all the monsters. Including the Boss, it took less than two hours.
I sighed. Time Like Water's team's attack was not bad, but compared to Snow Moon, they were far from it. They took two hours to clear Earth City. Our Snow Moon's team only used one hour and twenty minutes.
We spent another two hours to clear out the monsters in the final map, City of Heaven. In the distance, there was only the Empyrean Winged Demon Pestle left in the air. Its blood-red sword was especially eye-catching.
Solitary Grave gripped his sword and was slightly nervous. Hellfire gritted his teeth as he looked at the Empyrean Demon. It looked like these two had been killed by the Empyrean Winged Demon Pestle more than once.
Knight of Radiance, Guardian of the Rye laughed coldly and said to me, "Top expert?
Go, let's see how you can kill this Legendary Boss alone! "
I waved the sword in my hand and replied, "Open your eyes and see clearly. I didn't say 'dog eyes' because we are allies. Don't be too harsh!"
As I said that, I turned around and used a super skill —
Flame Dragon Soar!
… …
Soaring flames danced in Sky City. Lonely Grave, Hellfire, and the others were immediately dumbfounded. This was because a ferocious adult Fire Dragon had appeared in the sky. Its emotionless eyes were staring at them.
