The battle between the Silver Moon Alliance and the Dark Army has been in a stalemate for a long time now. Now, however, the situation has changed. As long as we ignite this fuse, I'm sure that the war between the Storm City Army and the Ice Tomb Fortress will be unavoidable.
Our current problem was how we were going to lure the mobs out of the Ice Tomb Stronghold. Luring a few mobs wasn't very practical.
"Why don't we lure a boss monster out of the Ice Tomb Stronghold?"
Ling Xue blinked and said, "If I'm not mistaken, every boss is equivalent to a lord. As long as we lure a boss over, it can bring its underlings with it. Do we have to worry about the Ice Grave Stronghold not turning out in full force?"
I slapped my thigh and smiled. "Smart. Xiao Xue, let's go. Let's do this!"
"Mn!"
Ling Xue and I summoned our mounts and rode along the edge of the valley toward the west. At the same time, I gave Dragon Soul an order. "Guard the valley entrance with everyone. Don't let a single Storm City NPC out. Prepare to close the gates and beat the dogs!"
… …
The Ice Tomb Stronghold was a huge graveyard built on top of an ice mountain.
The moment we stepped into the territory of the Ice Tomb Fortress, we learned that this place used to be a kingdom of mountain dwarves. Unfortunately, many years ago, a powerful skeleton monster descended upon the land, defeated the guards of the castle, devoured the king, and turned the castle into a bloody hell. Naturally, according to Darwin's theory of evolution, skeleton mages, skeleton swordsmen, skeleton knights, skeleton ghouls, skeleton archers, and all kinds of other monsters were born in this place. It was no wonder that the Ice Tomb Fortress became a city of kings.
The monsters inside the Ice Tomb Stronghold were high level, and the average player couldn't handle them. It was also why the three main armies of Storm City had failed to take down the Ice Tomb Stronghold.
"Are the mobs here really that powerful?"
Ling Xue asked suspiciously as she stepped on a piece of ice.
I said, "You'll know when you see it for yourself."
We walked for a very long time until the first mob appeared in front of us. It was a Level 255 Warsong Rank Skeleton Archer Guard. Even the weakest mob here was a Warsong Rank mob. No wonder Storm City's cavalry couldn't defeat it!
"Damn it, I smell a living person!"
The skeleton archer sniffed the air with all its might and nocked an arrow. A red arrow landed on Ling Xue's arm.
"Pa!"
The iron arrow broke, unable to break her defense. Ling Xue's defense was too abnormal!
I dashed forward and dealt with him in a few strikes.
I released Ling Er and went to search for the boss. We weren't here to grind, we were here to find a boss.
That being said, it was necessary to clear the path. After killing dozens of skeleton archers, skeleton swordsmen finally appeared in twos and threes. They were Level 257 Warsong mobs, and their stats were much higher than the skeleton archers'. At the very least, their attack power was enough to break through Ling Xue's defense. Even though they only dealt a few thousand damage per hit, it was still better than a few dozen.
It was at this moment Ling Er sent me a message. She had discovered a boss!
A purple dot flashed on the map, and I immediately marked it. I said to Ling Xue, "Xiao Xue, wait here. I'm going to lure the boss out. I think it's in a big tomb up ahead."
Ling Xue nodded. "Be careful. Don't lose your virginity."
"Er... got it!"
I held my sword and stepped forward, silently entering Shadow Escape mode.
I carefully avoided a group of skeleton swordsmen. I could even smell the stench coming out of their mouths. These animals of the Army of Darkness didn't brush their teeth, so they stunk all day long.
Ling Er flew in the air and pointed down. She said with a smile, "Big bro, there's a powerful energy fluctuation in this tomb!"
"Yes, Ling Er, stay outside. I'm going in."
"Oh!"
As he walked down the ruined steps, a pungent stench assaulted his nostrils.
I frowned. "Damn, this is what you call a real stench!"
Ling Xue said with a smile, "This stench is disgusting. It doesn't smell like Stinky Tofu."
I grinned as I searched. "Xiao Xue, do you know how to make Stinky Tofu?"
Ling Xue said, "I'm not interested."
Bing Zhiyi said, "Tell us, we want to know."
"Okay!"
I cleared my throat. "When I was working in my company, one of my subordinates had a family that made stinky tofu. That stinky tofu was the real stinky one. He secretly told me, 'Why is it so stinky?
It's because one of the processes to make Stinky Tofu is to wrap the tofu in oiled paper and bury it in a manure pit. Then, it will be smoked by the world's spirit energy for forty-nine days. Then, the Stinky Tofu will be called the best. When you dig it out and taste it, it's called fragrant... "
"Ugh..."
The girls vomited.
Dragon Soul and Judging Sky said, "It's that amazing?
In that case, we'll have to try it. Scholar, can you tell us which Stinky Tofu in Suzhou is smoked for forty-nine days? "
"You guys are so disgusting! You even eat this!"
Bing Cha came online and added, "Scholar, don't tell stories like this in the future. If you dare to tell stories like this when I return to the workshop, I'll throw you downstairs!"
Bing Zhiyi, Fleeting Time, and Qiao Nan giggled. "Scholar is afraid of Ling Xue, but he's also afraid of Bing Cha?"
Spring And Autumn Dance laughed. "Don't you understand that Scholar is afraid of beautiful women?
Men should be afraid of women if they care about them, and women should scold men if they care about them! "
Dragon Soul exclaimed, "Holy shit!
No wonder the steamed bun auntie downstairs scolds Gui Zhi for not paying enough every day... "
Gui Zhi burst into tears. "Damn you!"
Bing Cha smiled. "Speaking of which, I'm online in Northshire now. How are the other places?
Did we take Storm City? "
Bing Zhiyi: "Not yet. Their firepower is too strong, and we don't have an absolute advantage in numbers. But I promise we'll take it down in five hours!"
"Mn!" Bing Cha looked at the map. "Oh?
Scholar and Xiao Xue, why are you in the south? "
"We're exchanging ideas with the NPCs and monsters!" Ling Xue said with a smile.
Bing Cha smiled. "Alright, I'll come over too!"
"Don't come over," I said with a smile.
"Why?"
I shuddered. "Because the boss looks so strong..."
In front of me was the lowest level of the tomb. I could actually see a giant scorpion. Could this be the powerful energy that Ling 'er had mentioned?
[Venom Slicer] (Level 257 Demon Territory Boss) Attack Power: Awesome, Defense: Awesome, Strength Evaluation: 4-Star
I sucked in a breath of cold air. This was a boss no weaker than the third floor of Nine Heavens Black Tower. There was no way I could beat it alone. At the very least, I needed to have Qin Yun with me, or I would die!
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, he entered his transformation state. His battle robe danced wildly as he raised his sword and pounced forward!
"Divine Dragon Slash!"
The sword aura contained a cyclone of energy that slammed into the Scorpion's head. The Scorpion's entire body trembled as it lost over 170,000 HP. This Defense was quite overpowered. At the very least, it was no weaker than Ling Xue's S3 Godly Equipment.
What am I waiting for?
Run!
"Fierce Thunder Gale!"
Just as I was about to leave, the giant scorpion roared. It opened its disgusting mouth and spat out a huge spider web!
Beep ~!
Combat Log: Poison Slicer used "Trap" on you. You will not be able to move for 5 seconds!
… …
I'm done for, I've actually been caught by them!
Screw it, I'm going to die!
I wanted to go all out but I couldn't. Sadly, I found that my current equipment was too crappy. I didn't even have an invincibility skill, let alone a way to break the web.
Dragon Bind missed. I hurriedly used a Stun Arrow and missed again!
The giant scorpion twisted its body and pounced. Its two blade-like arms swung at me like a guillotine. It was a double hit!
Pa pa!
“376237！”
“321334！”
I was dumbstruck. My HP had been reduced by half in an instant. What a powerful boss. I was wrong. He was even stronger than the first boss in Nine Heavens Black Tower. He could fight the second boss!
I couldn't wait for death. I had to fight back!
I abruptly raised my left arm. Ripples spread across my arm as I summoned the Ice Barrier!
"Shield Bash!"
"Bang!"
Finally, I stunned the boss!
Now I had to grab the boss's aggro. I used Total Annihilation, causing the boss to howl.
At this time, five seconds passed. Time to leave!
Fierce Thunder Gale still had a few seconds left. I was much faster than the boss. I used Holy Heal to heal the boss and drank a health potion.
"Hm?
Why is Scholar's HP less than half? "The observant Qin Yun was the first to notice that something was wrong.
Ling Xue was shocked. "Not good, Scholar can't beat this boss!"
Bing Cha said, "No way?
Scholar is a Holy Domain and has two Earth God Equipment. There's a boss that he can't beat? "
Ling Yue said calmly, "That's because Bing Cha, you didn't see Scholar being tortured by the boss in Nine Heavens Black Tower..."
Dragon Soul said, "Didn't Scholar say that he single-handedly challenged the divine beast Black Tortoise in the Nine Heavens Black Tower and single-handedly killed the divine beast Black Tortoise?"
Ling Xue smiled. "He's just joking. You don't have to be so serious."
At this time, I was not in the mood to joke. I shouted in the party, "Xiao Xue, summon the Snow Feather Pegasus and leave Ice Tomb Fortress as fast as possible. Return to Ling Yue. Hurry!"
"Oh?
Oh... "
On the map, Ling Xue's dot started to move quickly. I relaxed.
By the time I walked out of the tomb, the mobs outside had also received the boss' summons and were charging toward me. The big scorpion was crawling very quickly, even faster than my usual speed. I had no choice but to maintain my transformed form to run for my life. It was indeed a bit of a mess. The other party could transform into a cyclone to kill the enemy, but I could only use it to run for my life.
As I ran, more than half of the mobs in the fortress were attracted to me. Level 258 Skeleton Knights made up the majority of them. These Warsong mobs had very high stats, and they could probably solo Dragon Soul without any skills. It wasn't that Dragon Soul was noob, it was that all mobs over Level 255 had greatly increased stats.
As I ran down the mountain, I used Dragon Bind and Faerie Dragon Trap to slow down the boss's movement speed. I was lucky enough to succeed once, and the Blaze Warhorse was able to gallop faster. A strange scene played out at the foot of Ice Tomb Fortress. A warrior covered in blue flames and wielding a fiery red divine sword was running madly. Behind him was a ferocious scorpion and countless undead Warsong mobs. It felt like Liu Xiang was leading the race, and there was a black athlete following behind him.
Inside the canyon, the NPC army from Gale City was ready to move out. In fact, the corps commander was about to give a declaration of war, but the rumbling hooves of the undead knights woke them up. When the NPC soldiers turned their heads, their faces were filled with fear!
"Heavens!
Have these damned undead gone mad? "The corps commander collapsed to the ground.
I laughed and charged straight into the crowd of NPCs. I pulled out my sword and slashed at them. There was no one on my side here anyway, so it didn't matter who I hit as long as I didn't hit my own face.
"Damn it, this human attracted the creatures of darkness!"
Finally, someone discovered my existence.
The secrets of the heavens had been revealed. What else was there to say?
I raised my hand and activated Shadowmeld. My body entered a shadow, and the black mass of mobs behind me lost their aggro target. Naturally, the big scorpion took out its anger on the NPC army.
I ran far away and looked back. The scene in front of me was spectacular. The undead army that covered the mountains and plains had charged into the human army's territory. It was a complete massacre. Although Gale City's army numbered in the millions, it was clear that they couldn't stop the Army of Darkness led by the big scorpion. Just like Cao Cao's army of eight hundred and thirty thousand, there wouldn't be many of them left.
I ran all the way to the entrance of the canyon. In the distance, the players of Snow Moon were already ready for battle.
I pulled out my Scarlet Heaven Sword and pointed to the north. I smiled and said, "Brothers, it's time to conquer Gale City!"
Also, I ordered three subguilds to stay behind and prevent any NPCs from escaping. The key to this expedition was: Steal, Block, Destroy, and Abandon!
Of course, I thought that the last one was the most lame. If I succeeded, all the Japanese players would vomit blood and drop back to Level 0.
It was just like a fight between martial arts masters. No matter how powerful one was, once the opponent's acupoints were sealed, no matter how powerful the opponent was, they could only wait to die. The Japanese server was in such a predicament. More than ten million players were stuck in two counties. They wanted to return to the main cities, but they couldn't. The two to three million players in the main cities were clearly no match for Snow Moon's ferocious army!
… …
After we met up with the three beauties of Snow Moon, Bing Cha also rushed over from the north. Dragon Soul waved his sword and walked at the front of the party. He shouted, "Bing Zhiyi hasn't broken into the city yet?
Aiya aiya, even a Dragon Knight can't do it. Brothers, let's hurry up and show our beautiful Dragon Knight what it means to be conquered by a man! "
I nodded with a smile. "Very good, our morale is high …"
Ling Xue said, "I'm afraid that three Dragon Souls are no match for Beauty Yiyi, let alone a man's conquest. I'm afraid he'll only be conquered."
I didn't say anything. Right now, Bing Zhiyi was the only true Dragon Knight in White Cloud City. I'm afraid that every man in the China server who went up against Bing Zhiyi would meet a tragic end!
… …
More than an hour later, the majestic Gale City appeared in front of us once more.
Smoke and flames of war filled the air. Right now, Gale City was no longer the clean city with white walls and black tiles it used to be. Its walls were riddled with holes, and although Bing Zhiyi hadn't broken into the city yet, they had already conquered half of Gale City's territory.
It wasn't hard to imagine that the Japanese players would hate the China girl after this battle.
