I walked through Moonlight Forest while birds and butterflies danced around me. It was beautiful.
"When is sister Bing Cha coming back?"
Chrysanthemum Daohana suddenly asked with a frown.
Ling Yue smiled and said, "It will be a long time before he returns. Iced Tea's bone marrow needs to regenerate. This period of recuperation is very important. As you can see, Iced Tea's online time is actually very short. It's so short that he doesn't even have enough time to complete one Instance Dungeon. Iced Tea was depressed twice, so he decided not to enter the Instance Dungeon anymore.
"Ahem, actually, Bing Cha has a boyfriend overseas," I said.
"Oh?
Boyfriend?
Why haven't I heard of this? "Ling Yue was very puzzled.
"She's probably too embarrassed to tell me."
"Is there anything she's embarrassed to do?"
"That's true..."
Qin Yun burst into laughter. "You guys can go all out while Bing Cha isn't in the workshop. When she comes back, she won't just sit there and do nothing."
Ling Xue narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "I miss the days when Bing Cha and I could joke around together!"
I also said, "Yeah, I miss the days when we could tease Bing Cha."
"You..."
… …
Ling Yue said, "Scholar, hurry up and get to Level 150. That way, you'll be able to block any mobs and bosses after you equip Glacial Barrier. Right now, Bing Cha is still recuperating. She'll recover in about three months, but after a month, she'll be able to play online every day without a problem. At that time, bring her to Level 255. Understand?"
"What?
You want me, a Level 150, to bring her, a Level 255? "
"Don't even think about it, Holy Domain players are different!"
Ling Yue walked to the side of a bush. The path in front of her was blocked. She used her staff to press down the thorns and then lifted her leg to walk over. In the end, a section of her snow-white leg was revealed under her sexy robe. It was very tempting.
"Watch your steps. Don't look around."
Ling Yue smiled at me and said, "Ling Xue, Xiangxiang, and Sister Qin Yun's immediate goal is to level up and improve their equipment. Then, they will increase their chances of triggering the Holy Domain Quest."
I was slightly stunned. "What's wrong? The conditions to trigger the Holy Domain Mission are already clear?"
Ling Yue nodded. "Yeah, I heard it from the grapevine. When players reach Level 255, they'll still receive EXP. It's just that they won't be able to level up. However, every time they receive enough EXP to level up, there'll be a chance to trigger the quest. The higher the overall quality of the equipment, the higher the chance. Take Seven-star Lamp as an example. He's wearing the S1 Zhurong Set. Logically speaking, the chance of triggering the quest is around 1%. I didn't expect him to be so lucky. He actually became the second player in China to trigger the quest and enter the Holy Realm."
"I've already reached Level 255 four times in a row," Ling Xue whispered.
"Your equipment is a bit lacking." I didn't hide it.
Ling Xue nodded. "Yeah, the Ice Bones Equipment Set can't keep up with the situation anymore. Next, let's go for S3 (God III Series: Nine Heavens Black Tower, Black Tortoise Equipment Set). If we can gather the S3 Black Tortoise Equipment Set, we'll have a 3% chance of triggering the quest!"
I shook my head. "That's still too low. It requires very good karma."
Qin Yun asked with a smile, "No way?
The S1 set only has a 1% chance of triggering the Zhurong Set. Then what are the chances of a Level 255 player with a Dark Gold – grade set? "
Ling Yue didn't hold back. "0!"
Qin Yun: "..."
Ling Yue smiled and explained, "As far as I know, the minimum requirement to trigger a Holy Domain quest is that a player's equipment is at least high-grade Immortal-grade or higher. I think it's 0.1%, and a full set has a higher chance of triggering the quest. Also, the requirement for Attack is very high. If I'm not mistaken, players with less than 100k Attack have a 0% chance of triggering the quest. This means that 99.99% of players are excluded. To put it bluntly, only Scholar, Bing Cha, and Ling Xue have a chance of triggering the Holy Domain quest."
Qin Yun walked beside me. She had to hold my arm because there were too many thorns around us. She giggled and said, "Warriors can learn to transform after they reach the Holy Domain, and they can gather energy to greatly increase their strength. But what about us priests?
If a priest reaches the Holy Domain, what kind of ability will they learn? "
I smiled. "They'll learn a super healing skill that can heal all ambitious people in the world!"
"OMG, you're going to die …" Qin Yun punched me softly and scolded me with a smile.
I dodged Qin Yun's punch while grabbing Ling Xue's hand to my left. "Why don't we ride our horses?
Those who insist on suffering are riddled with thousands of holes by these needles … "
"We don't have enough horses." Ling Yue smiled and answered on her sister's behalf. "We can't just leave one person behind, can we?
We need to be united and friendly, and we shouldn't abandon anyone. Are you questioning my opinion, Scholar? "
I shook my head repeatedly. "The guild leader is wise. The guild leader is wise."
Ling Yue's smile was so beautiful that I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat.
"Big brother Scholar, we've been running all this time. Where is the Revered One's camp?" Chrysanthemum Daohana turned around and asked.
I flipped open the map and glanced at it. Then, I answered, "The Revered One's camp is located in the middle of the Barren Forest. It's roughly at the center of the triangle formed by Dark Castle, White Cloud City, and Bloody Fortress."
Ling Xue asked, "Is it the center of the diagonal line or the perpendicular line?"
I answered, "It's the center of the solar meridian."
The little beauty smiled. "You know a lot!"
"You're too kind!"
… …
Our group traveled over mountains and rivers for a long time.
Ling Xue rode at the front of the group on her Snow Feather Pegasus and wielded the Blade of Snow Domain. Fire Leopards, Giant Stone Tigers, and other mobs were nothing to her.
I accompanied Ling Yue, Qin Yun, and Chrysanthemum Daohana at the back of the group. Unfortunately, I didn't have a top-tier shield, so my Defense was even lower than Ling Yue's Tidal Set. It was enough to make me want to cry.
As we ran, I checked the China server leaderboards. On the Heavenly Ranking, I was ranked first at Level 130, and Seven-star Lamp was ranked second at Level 47. The bastard wielded the legendary Saint-rank weapon, the Crimson Sword, and his leveling speed was much, much faster than I was before I reached Level 50!
On the weapon leaderboards, Ancient Sword Crimson Heavenly Sword was ranked first with an absolute score. Seven-star Lamp's Crimson Sword was ranked second, but his score was only a third of the Crimson Heavenly Sword's. It was enough to show just how big of a gap there was between the two weapons. In third place was a high-grade Immortal-grade weapon called the "Soaring Dragon Spear". It had a Level 70 Saint Domain requirement, and it was also a treasure of the China server. However, the owner of the spear was anonymous, so I couldn't see his name. Still, I had to assume that he was an amazing person.
Wait a minute!
Once he reached Level 70, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Saint Domain. The greatest value of this spear was to sell it to Saint Domain experts!
As for the equipment leaderboards, my Water God's Wrath Necklace was ranked first, and I was almost half the points ahead of the second-place player. The second-place player was obviously Bing Cha's Demon Domain's Calamity Shield, and the third-place player was a legendary Saint-rank helmet called the Chaser's War Helmet. It had a Level 255 requirement and incredible stats, so it wasn't part of the S1-S7 equipment set.
As for the rest of the equipment, they were ranked fourth to tenth on the China Equipment Ranking List. The fourth was a low-grade Celestial Equipment, while the fifth and sixth were also low-grade Celestial Equipment. The rest were all high-grade Peerless Saint Equipment. Peerless Saint Equipment was an amazing existence. Some of them were even worth a lot more than low-grade Celestial Equipment!
I only had one piece of equipment in the Top 100, and that told me one thing. Other than the necklace, the rest of my equipment was trash!
The Sky Atlas Battle Armor and the Night Elf War Boots Ling Xue had gifted me were both Saint-rank equipment, but they were only mid-grade Immortal-grade. They couldn't compare to a Level 255 High-grade Immortal-grade weapon, and I needed to upgrade them urgently. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stand among the strong. Even if I used Holy Domain Transformation, if my opponent was two or three fighters with S1 equipment sets or higher, then it was highly likely that I would be killed. This was no exaggeration!
… …
It was almost midnight when a blood-red map finally appeared in front of us. Tiny red dots could be seen everywhere, and they were all existences whose ranks were higher than ours!
"Wah, we've finally arrived at the Revered One's Camp …"
Ling Xue looked up and gasped in shock. "So tall …"
The rest of the girls were just as surprised. In front of us was a stone fortress that had just been built not too long ago. It was extremely tall, and its scale wasn't any smaller than the Bloody Fortress. Just as Fei Ya had said, if we didn't destroy it soon, these dark creatures would use mud to cover the crumbling stone and pour cold water over it. Once the world was frozen, this place could be called the Frozen Fortress.
The top of the stone fortress was covered in monsters, and the gate was made of pine wood that was dozens of meters long. Both sides of the gate were covered in steel spikes that looked incredibly sharp. If you rammed into it, you'd be riddled with holes.
"What's that?"
Qin Yun pointed a direction, and everyone looked over. We saw two giant beasts pushing the gate open. The gate creaked as it slowly opened.
I looked around and said solemnly, "It looks like the Revered One's camp is about to attack. Should we hide in the forest over there and wait?"
Ling Xue gripped her sword and said, "We have a bunch of max-level experts here. What's there to be afraid of?
Do you think a few small monsters can take us down? "
"It's hard to say …"
Ling Yue looked into the distance and exclaimed, "Look, the monsters of the Revered One's camp are coming out!"
… …
An entire group of barbarian warriors carrying giant axes and spears walked out of the fortress. These barbarians were a type of beastman, but they were more similar to humans. Their bodies were huge, and the shortest among them was three meters tall. Standing in front of these monsters, we looked no different from dwarves.
Fortunately, Zi Yue wasn't here. She was only 1.6 meters tall, and she wouldn't even be able to reach the barbarian's butt. Who knows where she could stab her dagger to deal a critical hit?
This was a barbarian scout party. There were about 500 of them, and they were fully equipped. Their weapons were battle axes, throwing spears, and their armor was all black chain mail. It looked like their Defense wasn't low.
"What should we do?" Ling Yue asked, "Let these monsters leave, or …"
Clang!
Ling Xue unsheathed her sword and said with a smile, "Big sis, all of you retreat. Once these monsters leave the camp, we'll intercept them outside the city. Anyway, we have to do a quest, and killing mobs is good. Who knows, Sister Qin Yun, Xiangxiang, and I might even be able to ascend to the Holy Domain here!"
I nodded. "Then we'll do as Ling Xue says. We'll lure all the monsters to the edge of the forest and kill them all!"
"Okay!"
I covered the three cloth-armored girls and retreated. Ling Xue went to aggro the monsters, and the Snow Feather Pegasus dashed forward. The little beauty raised her sword and said with a smile, "Hey, barbarians, do you dare to fight me to the death?"
But the barbarians ignored her and continued to advance.
Angry, Ling Xue moved forward and slashed!
"Bang!"
The barbarian on the right trembled and flew into a rage. He raised his giant axe and chased after the little beauty. Dozens of barbarians were lured over as well.
Thud thud thud thud...
Ling Xue retreated as she fought. She didn't think that she would lose nearly half of her HP after taking a few hits from the barbarians. That was at least 150,000 HP!
My heart sank. These barbarians' Attack was very strong, very strong!
He hurriedly stepped forward and with a wave of his hand, he cast a life-saving Domain Shield on Ling Xue. This was enough to protect the little beauty from any harm for the next half a minute.
I also used Eye of the Stars and the barbarian's stats appeared —
[Revered One Scout] (Warsong Rank)
Level: 255
Attack: 145000 - 172000
Defense: 150000
HP: 2500000
Skills: [Furious Slash], [Bloodthirst], [Leap Slash]
Introduction: The Revered One's Camp's patrols have strong Attack and Defense. They are the lowest-level troop type in the Revered One's Camp, and there are many of them. They are responsible for guarding the Revered One's Camp...
"OMG!
After the Holy Domain version was released, the monsters' stats increased a lot! "
Ling Xue stuck out her tongue and retreated with a smile. "These monsters are much stronger than the ones on the first floor of the Ancient Sword Pool!"
Ling Yue said, "Yeah!
Everyone, hold your ground. Luckily, Xiao Xue didn't attract many monsters this time. Otherwise, we would have failed miserably and died here! "
Ling Yue's words were not an exaggeration. These barbarian warriors had such strong Attack that they definitely had the strength to wipe out our five-man party.
"Guo Guo, go!"
Ling Yue shouted and summoned the Dark Dragon Fruit. It swung its gigantic head and spat out a mouthful of scorching Dragon Breath. The barbarians at the very front were all hit by the Dragon Breath, and they howled in pain as they lost over 50,000 HP!
The Dark Dragon's Attack was pretty good, especially against these heavy-armored monsters.
I also summoned Ling Er. One to sleep, one to fight. Then I pulled out the Scarlet Heaven Sword and attacked!
There were 27 barbarian warriors in total. Killing them one by one was not a problem.
"Ling Xue, don't stop. Run around the forest with the monsters and use the speed advantage of the Snow Feather Pegasus. Leave the rest to us!"
Ling Yue gave the battle plan. "Guo Guo and I will stay, Scholar will stay, Xiang Xiang and Sister Qin Yun will take on one. We'll kill all of these Revered One scouts one by one!"
"Okay!"
Qin Yun and Chrysanthemum Daohana laughed together. Chrysanthemum Daohana waved her staff and easily sealed a barbarian warrior. Qin Yun attacked with a Holy Light Slash, not forgetting to cast a healing spell on Ling Xue from time to time.
Ling Er took on one. With her stats, it was a piece of cake.
I chased after a barbarian warrior. After I caught up to a barbarian warrior, I fired a Corrosive Arrow and activated Wild Impulse!
Whoosh!
I rushed forward and raised my sword. Total Annihilation, Shield Break Slash!
