"Crash …"
Ice rubbed against my face and rolled down my cheeks. When I opened my eyes, I saw a glimmer of light.
Crack!
A dazzling sword energy entered my eyes. It was a thin sword that pierced through the collapsing ice.
"Uuu …"
A snow-white hand pushed away the ice, and Ling Er's surprised voice rang out. "Big bro …"
I couldn't help but smile. "Ling Er, you found this place?"
"Mn!"
Ling 'er flew down and raised her sword. "Hong!" The sword energy caused the ice around me to shatter.
"Hmm?
Ling Xue?
Ling Yue? Qin Yun? "
I hurriedly looked around and pushed away the thick ice. A pretty face appeared in front of me. Ling Xue was unconscious next to the cave. Ling Yue and Bing Cha were next to her. Probably because their domain power wasn't strong enough, they had already fainted.
"Wake up, wake up! The boss isn't dead yet!"
After waking the girls up one by one, Ling Xue rubbed her eyes. "We're not dead yet?"
"No, get up and fight the boss already!"
"Oh, oh, oh …"
In the party, all the gray avatars lit up. Qin Yun was busy healing everyone. I brought Ling Xue and Ice Tea to cut open the ice. With a shout, I used Divine Dragon Slash and forcefully turned a pile of ice blocking the path into ice powder. The area in front of us suddenly opened up. I saw the bloody Ice Sang Ta standing on the snowy ground, its HP quickly recovering.
"Go!"
I let out a low roar and raised my sword, activating [Charge]. With a "Pa" sound, I rammed into the BOSS's chest armor, activating [Dragon Bind] at any moment. Behind me, Ling Xue and Ice Tea, the two Swordsman girls, also rushed over, slashing wildly.
"This bastard Santana, his [Ice Rain] Break lasts for so long!" Ling Xue said while chopping.
Bing Cha nodded. "Yeah, this animal is too strong. If there wasn't a cave, we would all be dead …"
At this time, Chrysanthemum Daohana walked out and hit the boss with Soul Seal. Ling Yue and the others also got into formation and started attacking.
I lowered my Defense again. This way, Silent Rain and the others could break through my Defense. Her equipment was pretty good, and her arrows hit the boss repeatedly. Her damage was not to be underestimated.
"Santana, you can't. This is the era of Lamborghini …"
Ling Xue chuckled. Her longsword exploded with countless icicles. The Level 250 Boss finally let out a pained howl. The frost on its armor dissipated, revealing its original appearance. It was actually a set of blood-red armor.
Pfft!
The boss dropped countless gold and a couple of pieces of equipment the moment it fell to the ground. Ling Xue and I leveled up at the same time. The Blood Army was spread all over the Snow Domain, so we had to grind for a couple of days. I was now Level 242. Almost a week later, I looked at the China server rankings again, and it was a different story —
1. Frivolous Scholar Level 242 Dragon Speaker
2. Breeze Catches the Moon Level 237 Ice Mage
3. Breeze Snow Level 235 Ice Swordsman
4. Seven-star Lamp Level 234 Dark Swordsman
5. Solitary Grave Level 232 Dragon Knight
6. Little Butterfly Level 231 Star Moon Priest
7. Bing Cha Level 231 Thunder Swordsman
8. Shadow Follower Level 231 Swordsman
9. Hellfire Level 230 Tempest Warrior
10. Zi Yun 'er Level 230 Holy Priest
11. Chrysanthemum Daohana Level 230 Soul Shaman
12. A Speck of Dust Level 228 Dragon Warrior
13. Snowy June Level 229 Sword Spirit Shaman
14. Magic Archer Level 227 Magic Cube of Fate
15. Fleeting Time Level 226 Dragon Knight
… …
Snow Moon's Book Tea continued to remain in the Top 10, and it was worth mentioning that Seven-star Lamp's level had skyrocketed. The information provided by the Dragon Soul was reliable. After Seven-star Lamp entered the Temple of the Moon, he had taken over the life and death of the Soul Battle Robes Division. It was said that he could order countless people to level up for him. Moreover, Seven-star Lamp was currently hiding in the depths of the Undead Domain, and no one knew what he was up to.
Also, A Speck of Dust of Clear Breeze City had risen to 12th place on the Heavenly Ranking. Finally, the pitiful Clear Breeze City had produced an expert worthy of attention. Also, the guild leader of one of Snow Moon's major subguilds, Shanxue Guild, was ranked 14th. He was only three levels away from reaching 230, and if I gave him the Moon Chasing Divine Crossbow, a super archer would be born!
"Hualala …"
Ling Yue used her staff to push open the leg of the Blood Army's leader and found a glowing ice crystal underneath. It was the second Soul Fragment of the Ice Goddess!
Holding the soul fragment, Ling Yue smiled sweetly. "Finally, just one more to complete the quest!"
"Mn!"
I walked up to it and swung my Moonlight Ice Blade. With a "crack", I cut off the bloody Ice Santana's head and tossed it into my bag. There was also the red Soul Prison. It was time to check out the spoils of war.
The boss had dropped five pieces of equipment. They lay quietly in the snow, glowing with a crystalline light. There was a shield, a ring, a short dagger, a leather helmet, and a frosty longbow.
I walked forward and picked up the five pieces of equipment one by one. Then, I shared their stats with the party. The first was the shield — —
[Ice Mountain Barrier] (Middle-grade Immortal-grade)
Defense: 8500
Magic Resist: 4200
Strength: + 1100
Stamina: + 1000
Agility: + 920
Passive: Increases user's max HP by 25%
Passive: Increases block chance by 55%. Can completely block physical attacks
Passive: Increases user's Magic Resist by 120%
Level Requirement: 230
Reputation Requirement: 700000
Title Requirement: Endless Thunder
(Unappraised)
… …
It was a decent shield. Its strongest attribute was that it increased the user's max HP by 25%. This was enough for a player who was not at full HP to have enough HP to go toe-to-toe with a Knight at full HP. After all, at Level 200, players would only have 1000 Stamina points. This attribute would gradually fade away in the later stages of the game. Now, players would only pursue equipment that increased HP, defense, and attack. Only equipment could fundamentally change a player's strength in all aspects.
Holding the Ice Mountain Barrier, I asked, "Who wants this shield?"
Bing Cha and Ling Xue looked at each other and smiled. "Let's roll?"
Of course, I didn't need it. The [Flame Dragon Shield] had an Ice Dragon [Protect] skill. This was too practical. Exchanging it would be a loss!
In the end, Ling Xue won with 15 points over Bing Cha's 13 points. She happily took the shield. With the [Ice Bones] set, Ling Xue's defense was very good. Now that she had the shield's 25% max HP, it was clear that the little beauty was heading towards the path of "high HP, high defense, and high attack".
I continued to look, and the next three pieces of equipment made my jaw drop — —
[Skull Ring], [Demon Equipment]. It increased magic attack by 13%. It was rolled by Xia Xia.
[Phantom Dagger], [Demi-Immortal Equipment]. It increased attack speed by 11%. It was rolled by Snow Seeing Grass. If sold, it could be sold for around 1000 gold. There weren't many top-tier assassin weapons on the market.
[Phantom Helmet], [Demi-Immortal Equipment]. It increased dodge rate by 8% and defense by 17%. As a leather armor equipment, it was rolled by Zi Yue. It was something that could be equipped by herself.
In the end, everyone's eyes stopped on the last piece of equipment. It was a cyan longbow. The bowstring had traces of frost on it, and it gave off a dignified aura. It was obvious that this bow was very powerful!
When I displayed the stats of the longbow, everyone was shocked — —
[Dragonbone String] (Unparalleled Holy Equipment)
Attack: 7200-8550
Agility: + 1550
Strength: + 1520
Stamina: + 1500
Additional: Increases ice damage by 155%
Additional: Increases user's dodge rate by 1200
Additional: Increases user's ranged attack by 75%, and has a 25% chance to ignore defense
Additional Skill: [Sky Piercing Arrow]
Additional: Untradeable, Undroppable
Slots: 12
Required Level: 230
Required Reputation: 1200000
Required Title: Endless Thunder
(Unappraised)
… …
"Ah … Unparalleled Holy Equipment?!"
I was grinning from ear to ear. I didn't think that two bosses would drop two peerless Divine Armaments in a row. This drop rate was pretty good. Could it be that my 15 points of Luck were in effect?
Forget it, who cares. In the end, it was all about luck. As long as I had faith, I would have everything.
"Scholar, this bow isn't bad. It's a longbow that's at the level of a peerless sacred weapon. It seems that other than the Moon Chasing Godly Crossbow, this bow is the strongest!" Iced Tea said with a smile. "How do we split this bow?
Or do you want to roll with our beauty Silent Rain? "
I smiled and held the Dragonbone String. "Little Rain, we don't have to roll for this bow, right?"
Silent Rain stilled, then nodded. "Yes, Scholar needs it."
I couldn't help but smile. "Wrong, Little Rain needs it more. Come, this bow is yours. I won't take it."
"Ah …" Silent Rain's eyes were filled with surprise and a trace of joy. "Scholar, why?"
"My Fire Dragon Bow is a sure-hit bow. How can I trade my suppression-type treasure so easily?"
I chuckled as I gave such an unreasonable reason.
Actually, I felt a little guilty towards Soundless Rain. After all, she was a member of the Snow Moon workshop. Even though she didn't speak much and was usually quiet, after obtaining the Moon Chaser Divine Crossbow, I had to sell such a powerful bow to the Magic Cube of Fate at a low price. Even though Soundless Rain didn't say anything, she still felt a sense of loss.
Now that the opportunity had come, I would use this Dragonbone String to make it up to her.
Silent Rain held the exquisite, peerless longbow in her hands. For a time, she was so excited that she couldn't speak. She nodded at me with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, Scholar …"
I patted her shoulder. "Don't thank me. Thank the Silvermoon Alliance first …"
"Mn!"
After that, I flipped through the loot again. The boss had dropped some miscellaneous items other than equipment. There were 5 Strengthening Gems, all between Rank 7 and 12. For the sake of fairness, I rolled all of them. In the end, Ling Xue and Bing Cha each rolled one. The two girls happily tossed the stones to me.
"Why are you giving them to me?" I asked.
Ling Xue smiled faintly. "We're family."
Bing Cha said, "I haven't repaid you for helping me strengthen my weapon just now …"
As for the other three stones, they were split between Silent Rain, Snow Grass, and Summer. If I set up a stall, they would sell for an astronomical price. Right now, these stones were worth much more than equipment. Of course, they were nowhere near as valuable as they were when they blackmailed Solitary Grave. If he wanted to blackmail Solitary Grave with these stones, he would definitely go to Ling Tian and argue with him.
