I couldn't ride a mount in the cave, so my Earth God Tier mount could only sit idle.
Puchi!
Puchi!
My Moonblade War Boots glowed and made unpleasant sounds as I stepped on the damp cave floor. It was like I was walking in mud on a rainy day.
"Xiangxiang, how have you been?" Ling Xue asked with a smile as she supported Chrysanthemum Daohana.
"We're fine."
"Oh, where are you?
North or south? "Ling Xue blinked and started to ask questions.
Chrysanthemum Daohana wasn't stupid and burst into laughter. "Sister Ling Xue, are you looking for brother?"
Ling Xue's plan was seen through and she immediately blushed. She insisted, "No, it's almost the weekend. I just want to find a place where I know people and go sightseeing!"
Chrysanthemum Daohana couldn't help but smile. "I see. Then I won't say anymore. Go to Bing Cha. There are many scenic spots in Hangzhou …"
Ling Xue didn't know what to do. Bing Cha shook with laughter.
Ling Yue held her staff and carefully followed behind Bing Cha. She stuck her head out and asked, "Scholar, are you going to stay here and never return to Suzhou?"
I shook my head. "No, I'm not staying here. I've gained something every day. At least I've established myself in this city."
Ling Yue nodded, but then pouted in grievance. "After you left, my father sent two assistants to be the vice president of Suzhou Bluestar. Actually, these two pairs of eyes have been watching me. Otherwise, I would've gone to find you."
Ling Xue also said, "Yeah!
Xiao Qiao and I went to Shilu International and were followed by two bodyguards. Those two are really persistent. They ran and took the bus, but they didn't lose us … "
"…"
Chrysanthemum Daohana said, "Brother, actually you can go to Suzhou to see Ling Xue and Ling Yue."
"No, I don't want to break my promise."
"…"
Ling Xue snorted softly. She seemed to be a little angry and didn't say anything else.
Bing Cha smirked and said, "That's great. Since both of you are under house arrest by morality, I'll just run between both of you. After all, it's only a day's drive …"
Ling Xue was shocked. "Huh?
Bing Cha, do you know which city the Scholar is in?
Is it Shanghai? "
Bing Cha shook his head. "Of course not. There are so many business elites in Shanghai. With this kid's IQ, he would've died a long time ago."
"F * ck!
Girl Bing Cha, someone else is attacking you! "I said in dissatisfaction.
Bing Cha stuck out her tongue and puffed out her chest. "How am I small? How am I small?"
"Come on, you're just a little bigger than Summer. When you ascend, I hope your three measurements don't exceed 70 …"
"Wah, you're so evil!
If my three measurements don't exceed 70, I might as well die … "
Bing Cha shouted. In reality, there was no way her three measurements would be low if she ascended with her S4. At the very least, her three measurements would be above 110. After all, this set of equipment was second to none in Spirit of Grief. No one had ever surpassed it before.
At this time, Chrysanthemum Daohana stopped and pointed at a skeleton warrior in front of her. "Why don't we kill a monster for fun?
Otherwise, they'll think we came here just to chat … "
Everyone felt ashamed. They got into formation and charged!
The so-called formation meant that the three main tanks were charging and the two mages were attacking. That was all.
This unlucky Skeletal Warrior seemed to be a lookout. It didn't even get a chance to groan before it died under the flurry of swords. It was a tragic sight to behold. Further ahead, the sound of mining could be heard. No one knew who was working here non-stop.
I dragged my Scarlet Heaven Sword forward and carefully poked my head out to look. Yes, there were two or three miners swinging their shovels tirelessly. Next to them were two skeleton guards with hollow eyes.
The skeleton guards were Level 257, warsong monsters. They weren't too strong, and with our explosive attack power, we could one-shot them.
I looked back and found four beautiful faces peeking at me. Pairs of beautiful eyes blinked and finally reached an agreement. "Let's go!"
But before I could act, a miner suddenly fainted from exhaustion. He fell to the ground with a thud, twitched twice and died.
Ling Yue said confidently, "He died from overwork!"
I nodded. "Obviously, this has nothing to do with FSK."
But at this moment, a Skeleton Guard roared and rushed to the side of the corpse. As if it had been waiting for a long time, it pounced on the corpse's thigh and tore off a piece of bloody flesh. It seemed that this Skeleton Guard had wanted to eat people for a long time and had been itching to do so for a long time.
Another skeleton guard also rushed over with a growl.
The girls had ugly expressions. They couldn't stand this bloody scene, but there was nothing they could do. The designers of Spirit of Grief wanted to recreate the barbaric era. These bastards didn't know harmony at all.
With a roar, I charged forward!
I raised my hand, Judgment!
Whoosh!
Hurricane and lightning descended at almost the same time, wrapping around one of the Skeleton Warriors and stunning it. I held my sword and charged at the other one. My Red Cloud Sword spat out a long tongue of fire, and five rays of sword light reflected on the monster's body. "Pa pa pa" I hit it repeatedly, and then followed up with another slash, insta-killing it!
Ling Xue and Bing Cha pounced on the one I had trapped with Judgment, swinging Startling Rainbow and Jade Sea Swords to quickly finish it off!
Two small piles of gold fell to the ground, and I diligently picked them up. The girls smiled but didn't say anything. Everyone knew that I was a good, motivated youth who knew how to live a good life. If I hadn't participated in the Suzhou Top Ten Youth Selection, I would have definitely taken first place. Those young singers and young artists were nothing more than fleeting clouds. How could these people compare to the famous hoarder of gold?
King's City was a place where gold was flowing in every day. Just buying potions and repairing equipment was earning tens of millions of gold every day. Speaking of which, I was the undisputed King of Gold of White Cloud City!
While I was feeling proud of myself, the two miners saw that the skeleton guard was dead and immediately cheered. Like HJ soldiers who had climbed the walls of Nanjing to plant a red flag, they cheered and ran out of the gold cave. At the same time, I received a system notification —
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have rescued two miners, King's City villager + 2, gold mine production + 200, 2000 Reputation!
… …
Holy shit, I got something like this too?!
Overjoyed, I said with a smile, "Let's move quickly. Don't let the miners get eaten."
"Mn mn!"
Moving forward quickly, the mine was extremely rugged, and the solid soil glowed with golden light. That should be the legendary golden sand. Generally speaking, if a kingdom had a rich gold mine, it could create a lot of gold coins and eventually conquer the world!
A short distance later, a large group of undead appeared in front of us. It was a standard army of undead swordsmen. They were equipped with metal armor, swords, and shields. Their equipment was the best in the Army of Darkness. I couldn't help but think of the lord of this gold cave. He must be a rich man, or he wouldn't have the money to equip his army with such good weapons and armor.
Alright, our mission this time is to kill people and rob them. We will charge into the gold cave, kill the Undead Lord, and steal his territory, gold, and women!
Oh, no, forget about his women. They must be bony and beautiful. Normal people like us can't enjoy them.
Bing Cha's eyes turned cold. He thought for a moment and said, "7 Level 259 undead swordsmen, 1 Level 260 undead swordsman, 8 mobs in total, and all of them have high Attack. How are we supposed to fight them?"
"That's easy. I'll deal with the Level 260 swordsman. I'll use Dragon Bind to stun one, Ling Xue will freeze one, Fragrance will seal one, and Bing Cha will tank 5. That's it!"
Bing Cha stared at me with wide eyes. "Damn, you want me to tank 5? You think too highly of me, don't you?"
I smiled. "It's fine, you have thick skin. They can't do anything to you."
"OMG!"
Even though Ice Tea grumbled that I didn't know how to be gentle with the fairer sex, I didn't hold back. I rushed into the group of monsters and stomped on the ground. Electricity surged around me, pulling the aggro of all the monsters toward me. While the Undead Swordsman's aggro shifted, I used [Judgement] on him!
Wild Charge!
Swhoosh!
I appeared in front of the undead swordsman in an instant. My Scarlet Heaven Sword glowed brightly as I used Shield Break Slash and Whirlwind Slash!
Crack crack!
“423773！”
“2739470！”
Unfortunately for the undead swordsman, Whirlwind Slash dealt 10x damage. The undead swordsman lost a huge chunk of his HP. When I used Flick Slash for the third time, he was sent flying by a cyan beam of light. The shockwave even hit the two skeletons behind him.
As Iced Tea was surrounded, the Undead Swordsmen's longswords clanged against his body. However, he did not lose much HP. The S4 Cyan Soul Set Equipment's Defense was extremely high. Level 259 monsters like these could not penetrate his Defense by much.
After I took care of my undead swordsman, I immediately went to help Ling Xue take out her undead swordsman. Although Ling Xue's Attack wasn't any weaker than Bing Cha's, her Defense was far inferior. She wouldn't be able to survive a single hit from a high-level warsong mob like this. Moreover, there was no priest here, so it was even more impossible for Ling Xue to tank the mobs.
After three hits, Bing Cha's HP dropped to a third, and all the mobs fell. They were high-level mobs, so their Attack was very high.
Bing Cha shouted and took out a Lv 5 Health Potion. She drank it without so much as a frown. She was a rich person after all. A potion that cost a hundred RMB per bottle was like drinking Nongfu Spring Water to her.
I picked up the gold and equipment. Only one piece of equipment had dropped. It was a dagger that increased Attack by 25% and ignored Defense by 5%. It could be considered a small top-tier item, so I tossed it to Bing Cha.
However, Bing Cha tossed the dagger back to me and said, "No, I can't even build a territory right now. I don't need any equipment for my Vanilla and Ice right now. Let's talk about it when we can conquer a territory!"
I said, "If you want to conquer a territory the size of a county city, you need at least 10 million Reputation. How much do you have?"
"Less than 5 million." Bing Cha was very calm.
"Mn, it's still early. Take your time!"
"It's fine, I can still live for many years …"
"Yeah, a scourge lives for a thousand years …"
"Eat this, Yue Nu Swordsmanship!"
… …
We continued forward, clearing out the Undead Swordsmen and rescuing the miners one by one. Once this quest was completed, the gold industry of the King's City would definitely take a big step forward.
Moreover, the experience gained from killing such high-level mobs was very rich. It wasn't hard to imagine that a normal Level 110 player could level up two times if they killed a Level 259 Warsong. Ling Xue was a Level 110 Holy Domain player, so the experience gained was 46 times that of normal players. In party mode, she would need to kill more than a hundred Warsongs to level up. Still, this was fast enough. There was nothing else in this underground cave, but there were plenty of golden sand and skeletons. In a single night, we could kill at least a thousand of them, so Ling Xue's leveling speed was definitely not slow.
The paths in the cave extended in all directions, and all the girls in the party had no sense of direction.
Ling Xue led the way for a while. Finally, she stopped next to a shovel and stared at it for a long time. She looked up at it and said, "I think I've been here before."
"Yes, you have!"
I nodded affirmatively and pointed at the sand. "Your mark is there."
I could vaguely see a few crooked words written on the loose soil. "Ling Xue was here!"
Bing Cha said, "Never mind, Xiao Xue doesn't know how to walk the maze. I'll do it!"
"Mn, okay!"
Half an hour later, we returned to the same place.
The beautiful Bing Cha stood next to the shovel and said in grief and confusion, "This doesn't make sense. We can clearly go around to another path, but why can't we get out!"
I pulled out the shovel with a clang. Bing Cha was furious. "If you want to see it, then dig out the ores in front of you. It's because it's blocking my view of the new path!"
Bing Cha's tone was very imposing. It was similar to Liu Xuande's extraordinary bearing when he said, "I want to cut down this forest because it's blocking my view of Xu Yuanzhi."
I shook my head. It was a tragedy. None of us knew the way.
"Never mind, I'll lead. You two rest for a while."
"You know how to lead?"
"Of course."
I raised my sword and walked at the front again. I kept making marks on the map. After going through eighteen turns in the tunnel, a new path appeared in front of us.
"Huff … Huff …"
Two undead swordsmen carried a human corpse and threw it into a corner. There were already a lot of corpses piled up there, and it smelled really bad. There were no flies on the ground, or else it would have rotted away.
"Disgusting …"
Ling Xue covered her nose and asked me, "What are they doing?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Winter is coming. We need to store some food. Otherwise, what will we eat during the winter?"
Ling Xue looked like she couldn't bear it. "You should at least let it dry before storing it. Don't you have any common sense?"
Everyone was petrified. Ling Xue's words were quite shocking.
After a round of beating, the movers were killed. We continued forward. Ling Yue didn't forget to turn around and burn the corpses. It was annoying to look at.
There were countless undead creatures in front of us again. We lined up in formation and continued to kill!
… …
The mining party worked hard in the mines. Seven or eight hours passed in the blink of an eye, and most of the undead were killed. Ling Xue had leveled up 4 times, and Ling Yue had reached Level 308. She hadn't changed much even though she was Level 300. It was strange.
"Careful, we've reached the end of the tunnel. The boss is about to appear!"
I gestured for Bing Cha and Ling Xue to retreat a bit. I was at the front. Now that Qin Yun wasn't here, there was no one to boost the resurrection prophecy. If we died, we died.
