I asked, "Do you know where to go?"
Ling Yue stilled and shook her head. "No, but after this quest, I will qualify for the sixth promotion..."
"OMG, all you care about is the reward. You don't understand the quest..."
Ling Yue smiled shyly. "Don't talk about me. Scholar, you know how to get there, right?"
I nodded. "If I go alone, it'll be easy. I'll get there in an hour or so. If I go in a group, I'll have to walk. It'll probably take more than ten hours just to get there."
"Ah?
That long? "Ling Yue was shocked.
Ling Xue, on the other hand, said, "Forget it. So be it. The reward for the main quest is definitely not bad. Besides, this quest's difficulty is over 10,000, which is unprecedented. The chance of a divine artifact dropping should be very high!"
I spread my hands. "But there's a WSL match tonight. Do we have to forfeit both matches?"
"That's not a problem!"
Ling Yue smiled. "I learned from the WSL committee that the International Competition is different. There's no need to return to the city. You can teleport to the quest map or FB, and then return to the original map after the match!"
I was pleasantly surprised. "Ha?
That's great. Let's go to the north. Snow Domain is very big, and the border is Longyu. That's my base! "
"Isn't your base the King's City?"
"Cough cough, the King's City is too fragile. Snow Domain is stronger. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. A giant dragon can hold it."
"Alright, Scholar, lead the way!"
So I summoned the Flame Warhorse and pulled Ling Yue up. Ling Xue and Bing Cha each took a person. The remaining girls, Zi Yue and Silent Rain, summoned their mounts together. Zi Yue's mount was a little red horse, and Silent Rain's was a Cloudmane Horse.
Bing Cha said in surprise, "Hm?
Aren't only Fighters allowed to ride warhorses? "
Zi Yue explained with a smile, "The last system update included new content. Assassins, archers, and other leather-armored players can ride on mounts, but they can't attack when riding on mounts. They can only be used as transportation."
"Oh, I see. That's great. All of them are knights. Our speed will definitely not be slow. Let's go!"
Soundless Rain brought Summer with him, and Zi Yue brought Snow Seeing Grass with her. Our 10-man party and 5 warhorses galloped towards the north. Our goal was the Snow Domain Cold Wind. In a way, we could say that I was returning to my hometown.
A cool breeze blew through the forest, bringing with it a refreshing fragrance of flowers.
"Are we going to get wiped?" Ling Yue suddenly asked.
"Yes!" I answered seriously.
"Then are we going to give up?" Ling Yue asked again.
Ling Xue said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry so much. Even if we get wiped, we can at least figure out the boss's strength the first time. It won't be a problem to kill it the second time."
Ling Yue nodded with a smile. "Yes, I hope so!"
At this time, Bing Cha waved his spear and pointed to the north. He said with a smile, "There!
That valley full of white flowers is a new town. It's now the World Defying Clan's territory. Do you want to visit it?
Say good morning to Lin Ao? "
I couldn't help but smile. "You're going to cause trouble, aren't you?"
"Ah, you saw through me?"
"Forget it, don't go. Lin Ao has been a grandson for a few months now. He's much more well-behaved. Compared to Wang Junjie, I find that Lin Ao is kinder..."
"Kinder my ass. Did you forget how he treated Lin Xiang?"
Chrysanthemum Daohana was slightly unnatural and turned her face to the side. Bing Cha noticed this small change and said softly, "Sorry Xiang Xiang, I didn't mean to mention it..."
Chrysanthemum Daohana smiled. "Sister Bing Cha, you don't need to apologize. Actually, if Lin Ao didn't treat me like that, I wouldn't be able to be with everyone, right?"
"Hehe, Xiang Xiang is so sensible ~"
However, there was a saying in this world that enemies often cross each other's path. Just as we were about to pass through the forest, a group of World Defying players appeared on the open ground. They were all production-type players, lumberjacks with axes in their hands. Not far away, a few armed players were calling out to them. There were about a hundred of them, and the ones leading them were Lin Ao and Lin Piaoyu!
Lin Ao quickly noticed the people from Snow Moon. His expression darkened and he turned his head.
Lin Piaoyu came over with her staff and said with a smile, "Where are the experts from Snow Moon going?"
"To do a quest," Bing Cha said calmly.
"Oh, I wish you success in your quest ~" Lin Piaoyu was much more easygoing than Lin Ao. She turned to the group of World Defying players and ordered, "Open up a path and let the people from Snow Moon pass."
The group dispersed. As we passed through, Lin Ao looked up at Bing Cha and Chrysanthemum Daohana. His eyes were a little sad and a little cold.
Through the canyon, we could see a simple human camp being built. Lin Ao and the others came here to cut wood, probably to build a territory. This was a painful but happy process. It was like watching one's child gradually grow up. When a castle-level territory was built, the pride was indescribable.
"Hmph hmph, this territory belongs to Lin Ao …" Bing Cha said angrily.
Ling Xue said with a smile, "Don't be unhappy. It's just a small, remote territory. After White Cloud City recovers for a while, I'm afraid the Nation War will come again. Next time, we'll attack a county city. Hehe, we'll use it as a territory for Dreaming of Snow Moon!"
Ling Yue asked, "Scholar, when we attacked Dawnlight City last time, you had the chance to become an Overlord. The price was to return to Level 0, right?
If we want to take a county city, the price should be lower, right? "
"Yes, maybe I'll drop 50 levels, or my reputation will be reduced to zero. It's hard to say, but I'm sure my level won't be reduced to zero. Ling Xue, be prepared!"
Ling Xue's lips curled into a smile. "Yeah, got it. It's fine. Exchanging Level 50 for a princess is worth it. When the time comes, I'll let Dad come online and show off in front of him!"
"Hahaha …"
… …
The road ahead was difficult and dangerous. We spent an entire day on the road. We crossed the Black Water Plains filled with goblins, crossed the Scorching Sun Mountain Range that was burning with scarlet flames, crossed an unknown lake filled with water monsters, camped in a goblin nest, gathered herbs in the Scorching Sun Valley, and killed monsters in the Poison Water Swamp. The entire journey was incomparably joyous.
After dinner, we finally reached the foot of a glacier. The map showed us a field of white. We had clearly arrived at the legendary Snow Domain, one of the extremes of the map!
When the warhorse's hooves stepped on a patch of snow, I heard the sound of a bell —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Your party has entered the quest map — Northern Snow Domain!
… …
"Ah?!
Is the entire Snow Domain our quest map? "Bing Cha asked in astonishment.
"Yes, it is."
Ling Yue smiled. "Come with me. There are quest directions in my quest window. It will lead us to those soul fragments."
"Let's go!"
Ling Yue nodded and opened up the map at the same time. Then, she stretched out her hand and tapped on the map three times, leaving behind three blue glowing marks. "Here, the three soul fragments are at these three locations. According to the mission notification, we have to find them one by one. This is because this map only has one winding path, and we have to pass through these three points."
"There will be a lot of mobs along the way, so we'll have to kill our way through," Ling Yue added.
I immediately pulled out the Moonlight Blade and said with a smile, "Let's just kill our way through!"
Snowflakes were falling in front of us, and the huge canyon looked incredibly quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the rustling of snowflakes and the faint sound of the wind.
We spread out our formation. Ling Xue and I were at the front, Soundless Rain, Summer, Zi Yue, Ling Yue, Qin Yun, Chrysanthemum Daohana, Snow Seeing Grass, and Bing Cha bringing up the rear.
"No monsters?"
Ling Xue looked a bit puzzled as she stepped through the thick snow.
I stopped and kicked the snow with my Heavenly Forged War Boots. I was surprised to see a thick layer of ice beneath us. We were standing on the surface of a frozen lake!
Ling Yue asked, "Will the ice break?
Should we run over there? "
I shook my head with a smile. "No need. This ice is half a meter thick. It's enough to support a fully-armored knight. Plus, we've already deactivated our warhorses."
We continued forward. Suddenly, we heard a faint howl!
"What is that!"
Ling Xue asked in a low voice, her beautiful eyes looking around. Then, she looked at Ling Yue and said, "Be careful, sis."
Ling Yue nodded. "Yes, be careful too. I can feel something approaching us."
"Yes, me too!"
At this time, the sound of flowing water came from under the water. I hurriedly shouted, "Ling Xue, be careful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the layer of ice behind Ling Xue suddenly exploded with a bang. Following that, a huge monster broke out of the ice. It had a lizard-like head and a snake-like body. It was covered in thick scales and had a pair of legs. Its claws were like a dragon's, and it opened its bloody mouth!
"What … what is this?!" Ling Xue was shocked.
I pushed off the ground with one foot and slid along the ice. With a "keng", I slid far away with Ling Xue. The place where Ling Xue had been standing cracked open with a bang, and cold lake water splashed out.
That was the monster's tail sweeping across, and Ling Xue had almost been hit!
"Pa!"
In the distance, Silent Rain accurately stunned the monster with a Stun Arrow. Now, I finally had a chance to see the monster's stats —
[Snow Domain Water Dragon] (Epic Miniboss)
Level: 245
Attack: 110000 ~ 124000
Defense: 75000
HP: 5000000
Skills:???
Introduction: A close relative of dragons, but rejected by Longyu. The water dragon hibernates under the ice, and when awakened, it will transform into a sea demon that can kill any enemy...
"Kill!
This miniboss gives a lot of experience! "
I swung my sword and summoned Ling Er at the same time. Then, I swung my sword and hit the water dragon in the head with Divine Dragon Slash. The laughable head shook for a moment, and a damage number of more than a hundred thousand appeared above its head.
Ling Xue and Ice Tea also rushed forward and sealed the Water Dragon with two "peng peng" sounds. Then, the two beauties stepped on the ice floes and attacked the Water Dragon. Fortunately, they had good control, and the Water Dragon opened its mouth and pounced on them. With a "peng" sound, one of the ice floes was smashed into pieces. The two girls jumped on the ice floes like dragonflies skimming the water. At the same time, they didn't forget to attack the Water Dragon.
