Following Ling Xue's instructions, we started clearing out the mobs at the edge of the camp in an orderly fashion. Other than the Level 255 barbarian warriors, the deeper we went, the higher the levels of the mobs became. Level 256 axe warriors, Level 257 barbarian throwers, Level 258 orc shamans, and even some caged Corpse Eaters appeared in our sights.
These Corpse Eaters let out bloodcurdling screams. They might have been humans half a month ago, but after the plague, they had turned into crooked creatures of darkness.
[Transformed Ghoul] (A Level 259 Warsong Monster with 190,000 Attack Power) This monster has razor-sharp claws and fangs. Normal armor can't defend against them.
"Scholar, should we lure a Corpse Eater over to kill?"
Ling Xue stabbed the Blade of Snow Domain into the grass and flicked her hair. She smiled and said, "I'm tired from running back and forth. Why don't you lure a Corpse Eater over? Let's see how strong these high-level mobs are. Do you think max-level players can deal with them?"
I nodded and carefully crawled out of a small hollow. Behind me, Qin Yun, Ling Yue, Chrysanthemum Daohana, and Ling Xue were all hiding here. This place had become a small base for us.
Not far away, a cruel Corpse Eater was ripping open the chest of a dead barbarian. Organs were strewn all over the ground, and the Corpse Eater was sticking its head to the barbarian's body, devouring the barbarian's organs. Its voice was disgusting to say the least. No wonder Ling Xue had suggested that I kill Corpse Eaters first. These things were so disgusting that they could even eat their own kind.
Thud!
My bow hummed, and a Corrosive Arrow flew through the air!
"Roar roar!"
The Corpse Eater crawled out of the barbarian's corpse like a madman and charged toward me!
I hurriedly raised my Scarlet Heaven Sword and let out a low shout.
"Bang!"
The Shield Breaker Slash slashed into the Corpse Eater's forehead. Ignoring the wound on its forehead, the Corpse Eater roared angrily and swung its arm at my shoulder!
Hiss!
A tearing pain came, and a small piece of his shoulder armor was torn off!
“412383！”
I was scared out of my wits. "Fuck!
It can't be that exaggerated, right? A single attack can cripple me so badly? "
"Your defense is too low!"
Ling Xue knocked me to the side and used her shield to block the ghoul's second attack. As expected, the ghoul only dealt 130,000 damage to Ling Xue.
"Let's attack together! A Level 259 Warsong is too strong!"
The Corpse Eater screeched in pain and collapsed to the ground. Although its Attack was high, its Defense had been greatly weakened by the Corrosive Arrow. It only took Ling Xue and me one round of attacks to finish it off.
Actually, if I used Wild Charge to kill it, it wouldn't have been a problem. However, my Defense had become one of my weaknesses. I had high Attack and HP, but I didn't have a powerful Defense to match them. Holy Domain players had four growth stars: Strength, Stamina, Agility, and Intelligence. Defense was the only thing they didn't have. This meant that even a Holy Domain expert couldn't ignore the attacks of a Level 255 player. A max-level expert wearing S3 or above could easily crush a Level 255 Holy Domain expert if they had good mechanics.
… …
"Scholar, you should hide behind me. Wait for me to lure the monster over before you attack …" Ling Xue said with a smile.
I felt humiliated and shook my head. "It's fine. I'll use Cyclone. It'll be fine!"
"Oh, you use Cyclone to transform the mobs?"
"It's fine. It's 150 Magic Energy. It's not a problem to use it. Just leave 60 for the boss and PvP."
"Okay!"
This time, I growled and transformed. I dashed forward and used Total Annihilation and Shield Breaking Slash on the head of a Corpse Eater at the same time!
Crack crack crack!
The Corpse Eater let out a low roar and collapsed to the ground as if it was nothing more than a dead branch. It was an instant kill!
"OMG, such crazy Attack …"
Ling Xue and Ling Yue said almost at the same time.
"Keep killing. Don't just watch the show …"
"Oh!"
Our group continued to push forward. Inside the Revered One's camp, groups of Corpse Eaters, Barbarian Rock Throwers, Barbarian Warriors, Beastman Mages and other mobs fell one after another, turning into experience, gold, and equipment.
Unfortunately, Ling Xue and Ling Yue still couldn't enter the Holy Domain. Their chances were just too low. It was probably because their equipment was too lousy.
I immediately made up my mind. Once I reached Level 150 and equipped Glacial Barrier, I would accompany the girls to grind for S3 equipment. I was sure that their chances of entering the Holy Domain would greatly increase once they equipped their God-tier equipment.
This wasn't just for ourselves. It was also for Snow Moon. Soul Battle Robes already had a Holy Domain player in Seven-star Lamp, and Snow Moon desperately needed a second Holy Domain player besides me!
Holy Domain players were a high-end resource. They were like nuclear bombs that could serve as a deterrent. If the China server had 10 Holy Domain players above Level 150 right now, which country would dare to provoke us?
Every country would probably tremble in fear!
In a day, I leveled up another three times. By noon of the second day, I was already Level 136. On the other hand, the other Holy Domain player in the China server, Seven Star Lamp, was Holy Domain Level 62. This guy was catching up really quickly!
… …
In the afternoon, the experts of Snow Moon gathered at White Cloud City. Xue Yue Studio's people were there as well. The Revered One's camp quests could be slowly cleared, and the priority was to obtain the right to participate in this battlefield.
Not far away, a group of arrogant fellows appeared. The one leading the group was holding a blood-red longsword. If it wasn't Seven-Star Lamp, who else could it be?
"Yo, Scholar is Level 136 now. That's fast!"
Seven Star Lamp came up to me and chuckled. He glanced at my equipment and said, "The shield is trash. As for the rest, the sword is a good sword, the necklace is also not bad, but there's nothing else good."
I smiled. "Are you telling me that you're stronger than me with your tattered equipment?"
"Haha, same here. Don't make fun of me."
Clearly, Seven-star Lamp's equipment wasn't anything special. His Crimson Sword was the only thing that stood out. The rest of his equipment was basically Level 0 to 50 Holy Domain equipment, and the glows on his body ranged from Bronze-grade to Immortal-grade. It could be said that his equipment was a hodgepodge, but the fact that he was able to gather so much equipment in such a short time was a testament to his skill.
I asked, "How are things going with the Temple of the Moon's camp?"
Seven-star Lamp's expression turned cold. He said in a low voice, "At midnight tonight, I'm going to organize a sneak attack and take down the camp in one fell swoop. Scholar, you have to keep this a secret, hehe!"
"Of course, it's a secret!"
I smiled. Seven Star Lamp wasn't an idiot. There was nothing too deceitful in war. What he said seemed like nonsense, but there was a high chance that he would really make a move tonight. Actually, it was just a feint, and the feint was real. This could be considered a brilliant strategy.
"Old Seven, how are you doing as the princess of the Peace County?
Quite a lot of money, right? Tell me, how much? "I asked tentatively.
Seven-star Lamp chuckled and raised three fingers.
"Thirty thousand RMB a day?"
“no！”
"Three hundred thousand RMB a day?"
"Smart!"
I couldn't help but be shocked. "Damn!
That's a lot. I didn't think that the income of a county city would be so high. It's much more profitable than my Rank 4 Silver Castle!
Hehe, when will you let me use the Peace County? "
Seven-star Lamp was also stunned. "Scholar, are you serious?
It's not easy for me to support my family. When I followed Blood Drinking The World, I only earned a few hundred thousand RMB. It wasn't even enough to buy a car. After following Hong Lingwu, my income was even lower. Now, I can finally make a small fortune. You can't steal my love. My wife's future cosmetics will all depend on the taxes of the Peace County. "
I smiled. "Alright. Where's Shen Luoyan?"
"Isn't she here?"
Seven-star Lamp pulled out a priest from behind him. He was wearing a S1 Zhu Rong mage outfit. It added fire attack power, but it didn't add any healing effects. I didn't know what he was wearing it for.
Shen Luoyan smiled sweetly at me. "Hello, handsome Scholar!"
I nodded.
On the side, Dragon Soul chuckled. "As expected of a woman who has been nourished by a man. Look at that voice, it's so sweet. Seven-star Lamp, be careful. You'll die in bed one day."
Seven-star Lamp laughed. "If I die under a peony flower, I'll be romantic even as a ghost."
"Romantic my ass. Those who die from venereal diseases are called romantic even as ghosts."
Seven-star Lamp was speechless. He glared at Dragon Soul and asked, "What, Snow Moon is also sending out their elites to fight today?"
"Of course, there's half a level to be gained. Why wouldn't we fight?"
Dragon Soul waved his sword and said, "Soul Battle Robes easily passed the previous times. This time, with Snow Moon, you might as well admit defeat."
Seven-star Lamp grinned. "Admit defeat?
Are you kidding me? Both our guilds have Holy Domain players. It's hard to say who'll win! "
I also smiled, "Then let's see who's the real deal in a moment!"
At this time, Solitary Grave and Hellfire appeared in the city.
"OMG, what day is it today?" Solitary Grave asked in puzzlement. "Are Snow Moon and Soul Battle Robes fighting for the right to fight on the battlefield together?"
Both Seven-star Lamp and I nodded.
Solitary Grave decisively turned around and said, "Hellfire, let's go grind!"
Hellfire said, "What? Didn't you say you wanted to play on the battlefield?"
"With Snow Moon around, there's nothing for us to do. Let's not waste time. Let's go and kill some mobs!"
"Damn, smart!"
And so, Hellfire and Solitary Grave turned around and left with a group of experts. Their attitude was carefree to the extreme.
… …
After waiting for twenty minutes or so, the battlefield finally opened. Rays of white light flew past us, and we entered the battlefield.
The first thing we did was to kill the mobs. Inside Snow Moon's independent battlefield, a large group of Level 220 elite mobs were gathered together. They were all Dryads!
"Attack! Give them everything you got!"
Dragon Soul shouted and unleashed Black Dragon Wave. Judging Sky brandished the low-grade divine weapon I had given him two days ago, the Titan Hammer. The hammer's Attack was pretty good, and it was definitely a first-rate weapon at the current stage of the game. It was a must-have item for killing and looting!
The strongest firepower on the battlefield belonged to Ling Yue. She was a Level 265 ice mage, and she was waving her Lunar Eclipse Scepter. Ice Vortexes landed on the mobs and exploded into countless icicles. The Dryads' HP dropped like crazy, and three Ice Vortexes cleared out a clean area. Her killing speed was faster than Ling Xue and me!
System Notice: Congratulations to party [Snow Moon] for becoming the first party to advance to the next round. They have obtained the right to compete for the right to participate in the next round!
… …
Less than two minutes later, another ding entered our ears —
System Notice: Congratulations to party [Soul Battle Robes] for becoming the second party to advance to the next round. They will compete against party [Snow Moon] for the right to participate in the next round!
As expected, only Soul Battle Robes could compete with Snow Moon in White Cloud City.
Ten minutes later, 50 players from Snow Moon and 50 players from Soul Battle Robes were teleported into the battlefield. Both sides looked ready to go at each other, and every one of them looked murderous. In the wilderness, the two alliances had clashed quite a bit recently, and many of the players here had already crossed swords with each other. Dark Shadow Drifter and Magic Cube of Fate had once run into Soul Battle Robes' Unyielding Lion and Don't Want to Look Back at a leveling ground, and in the end, Snow Moon won the 2v2!
"Let us see just how strong Soul Battle Robes has become!
Hehe … "Dragon Soul rode in front of everyone and raised his sword with an intimidating smile.
The Seven Star Lamp was smiling, he was holding his red sword and pointing it at Dragon Soul. He then smiled and said: "Dragon Soul, even though you are one of the strongest cultivators of Xue Yue, I don't care about people like you, do you know that?"
Dragon Soul snorted. "Yeah, Seven-star Lamp. Who do you think you are? Even Scholar is nothing in your eyes. Otherwise, Soul Battle Robes wouldn't have dared to challenge Snow Moon."
Seven-star Lamp laughed loudly and patted his skeletal horse's butt. He said, "There's only one world in this world. It's hard to say whether Snow Moon and Soul Battle Robes will unite the world or split it into two. But don't you want to see the final battle between our two guilds?"
"The final battle?"
I smiled. "You're thinking too far ahead. It'll be good enough if Soul Battle Robes can take out Temple of the Moon."
"Hmph, of course."
… …
At this time, Ling Xue pushed my shoulder and scolded, "Why are you wasting words with him? The battle is about to begin, and we need to kill Seven-star Lamp as soon as possible!"
"Mn!"
I nodded my head and placed my hand on the Scarlet Heaven Sword's hilt. Seven Star Lamp, who was opposite me, also pulled out his Scarlet Heaven Sword with a stern expression. That bewitching longsword looked as though it was weeping blood. Streaks of blood-colored light surrounded the sword's edge, making it look extremely strange.
The countdown began —
“3！”
“2！”
“1！”
… …
"Hah, Dragon Soul, die!"
Seven Star Lamp suddenly let out a loud roar. His entire body surged, and a blood-red cyclone danced around him. Crimson flames wrapped around him, and in an instant, Seven Star Lamp's hair also turned blood-red. Impressively, it was the Cyclone Transformation of a Dark Swordsman!
"Holy shit!
So cool! "Even the dragon soul couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
At the same time, my eyes turned cold, and my energy surged out of my body. Icy cyclones appeared, and blue flames enveloped me. My hair turned indigo, and I looked as cold as ever. I was on par with Seven-star Lamp's transformation!
"Kill!"
Suddenly, Seven-star Lamp disappeared!
