In the blink of an eye, all three of Bloody Mercenaries' main force were dead. Everyone else was shocked.
Furious, I pounced and attacked. The Ghost Ice Soul glowed with icy light as I attacked from behind!
Puff!
An Icicle Pierce smashed into the Boss's back, causing a layer of frost to form on its body. A green light enveloped the Boss's sword as it slashed into the Boss's shoulder. The Slayer Slash skill was unstoppable.
“1784！”
A critical hit. Great!
At this time, Lin Yixin ran as fast as she could, her bloody cape fluttering in the wind and her dagger glinting. The Fruit Knife Goddess was finally showing her power!
Moon Gaze!
Extreme Break!
With a combo of skills, the boss's Health Points dropped once again. At the same time, its Defense was greatly reduced!
My chance is here!
I took a few steps back before pouncing at him again. Pardon + Desperate Gambit!
“MISS！”
“2479！”
A high damage number appeared above the boss's head, but Lin Yixin's eyes were full of surprise. "Lu Chen, watch out …"
"Hmm?"
Su Lun abruptly turned around, his sword wrapped in a thick layer of blood. Sword Spirit Slash again!
Puchi!
My body felt like it was being torn apart. In that moment, my HP hit rock bottom!
I died?
No, but my HP was instantly restored!
What … what's going on?
Lin Yixin was just as shocked. She noticed that there was a combat notification: Player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" has been killed. Immortality activated and resurrected at full health!
I actually triggered the 1% effect and resurrected?
I couldn't help but laugh. "Die in peace, Su Lun, you unforgivable bastard!"
I raised the Ghost Ice Soul and slashed down like lightning!
Thousand Mirage Slash!
Lin Yixin passed by and tore apart the boss's final defense with the Snow Shadow Sword. Just like that, Su Lun's last bit of HP was gone!
… …
Thump!
Su Lun fell to his knees with unwillingness in his eyes. He stared at me and asked hoarsely, "Why … why did you do this?"
I held my sword to his neck and said calmly, "For the lives that have passed!"
Kacha!
With a soft sound, Su Lun's head flew into the air. He was completely killed. Fans of the book also liked to read:
Lin Yixin let out a sigh of relief. She didn't say anything and just stared at me quietly.
I said in the party channel, "Alright, the boss has been killed. It didn't drop anything. I'll send Little Gui's shield back in a bit. Everyone, get back to work. It's done!"
"Alright!"
I picked up Suren's head from the ground and walked straight out of Frost Mound.
I dug a small hole in front of Xinran's grave and buried Su Lun's head inside. Then, I said in a low voice, "Xinran, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry …"
Lin Yixin leaned against the Snowy Cathaya tree and stared at me thoughtfully.
A while later, Lin Yixin walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder. She whispered, "What is all this for?
Are you sure you won't regret it? "
I nodded and said, "This time, I won't be restricted anymore. What level, what sect, what reward, I have always lived in someone else's plan. This time, I will truly be myself."
Lin Yixin nodded and didn't say anything else.
…
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, quest [The Promise (SSS)] has been revived. Please summon Xinran's corpse immediately and enter the second phase!
"Hmm?"
Summon Xinran's corpse?
What … what does this mean? Can I resurrect Xinran?
Inside the skill interface, the Summon Undead skill button was glowing brightly. Is this a system notification?
Do I really have to summon her?
I hoped that Xinran could come back to life, but I didn't want to disturb her already dead self. The other readers looked at me normally.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and resurrected her!
I raised a hand and shouted, "Summon of Death!"
Swhoosh!
The sky darkened as a blood-red ray of light pierced through the clouds and shone on the small grave. A few seconds later, the soil on the grave suddenly loosened, and a shocking scene unfolded in the next moment. A dim skeleton broke out of the ground. Its rank was extremely low, and it stared at me with its big eyes. It didn't say a word.
I also fell silent. A bell rang beside my ears — Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, you have obtained a permanent demonic servant, Xinran!
… …
Ah?
Stunned, I stared at the little skeleton and saw the word "Xinran" floating above her head. Could it be that Xinran could only become a skeleton?
I gritted my teeth and summoned the little skeleton's stats window — [Xinran] (Epic Rank, Unknown) Level: 1 Attack: 32 Defense: 31 HP: 29 Agility: 30...
Heavens, what kind of pet is this?
Or maybe it's not a pet at all!
At level 1, the starting point was 122 points. What kind of concept was this? A BN of 122 points?
Heavenblessed's rules stated that a pet's maximum BN was 80. What's going on with this little skeleton?
I was silent for a long time before confirming the summon. The little skeleton immediately returned to the pet space. I couldn't bear to see the beautiful girl turn into a skeleton, and a skeleton without a single piece of clothing no less.
… …
I turned around and saw Lin Yixin leaning against a tree with her arms crossed. She looked at me and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
I nodded. "Yes, I'm going to treat this skeleton as another pet and train it to 150!"
"Oh, I see …"
Lin Yixin looked at the ground and asked, "But why?"
"Because I made a promise to her, but I wasn't able to fulfill it."
"Oh, I see …"
"Yiyi, why are you only saying these two sentences?" I asked.
Lin Yixin bit her lips and said, "I'm a bit confused. In that case, go grind. I'm leaving too. I need to get my third-promotion skills to Rank 6 as soon as possible!"
"Mn. Thank you for this time."
"Hehe, goodbye!"
Lin Yixin waved her hand and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
… …
I glanced back at Frost Mound. I was afraid that I would never be able to see this territory again. After killing Suren, my Reputation with the Night Creatures had dropped into the negatives. From now on, any Night Creature that saw me might start a fight without a second word.
Never mind, why think so much? Time to grind!
After returning to Floating Ice City, I returned the shield that Gui Guzi had dropped and opened the official map to search for the next leveling spot. It would be best if it was a map where I could hunt and gather. That way, I would have a bag full of ingredients after I was done grinding. With my crafting skills, a warehouse full of ingredients was enough to make me tens of thousands of RMB!
After searching for a long time to no avail, I went outside the city and found a group of people shouting to form a party. The party leader was a Level 55 barbarian warrior. He held a shining battle axe and wore bright armor. Clearly, he was a powerful expert. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Those who want to grind in Chaos Ice Cave must be Level 50 or above, must have learned Level 50 skills, and must have strong equipment. Lacking strong DPS and healers, bring potions and Magic Consumables!"
Chaos Ice Cave?
It also required players to be Level 50 and above. This map looked pretty good!
I stood still and opened the system interface. I typed in Chaos Ice Cave and a line of introduction immediately appeared — Chaos Ice Cave: The entrance is located at the edge of Silver Moon Forest. There are a lot of resources in the ice cave, including Rank 5 and 6 ingredients, herbs, gems, and ores. It is a holy land for high-level players to grind and gather. However, you must defeat the guardian of the ice cave before entering. Otherwise, you will not be teleported into the map.
My eyes lit up. This was the place. If there were Rank 5 and Rank 6 ingredients, then there would definitely be Garlic and Fish Meat. In other words, I would be able to fish up a lot of loot in this place. Also, the map was marked as Level 65, so the mobs here would definitely give me a lot of experience. Yes, this was the place!
I checked the coordinates. It was at the edge of Silver Moon Forest.
Silver Moon Forest was a vast forest behind Floating Ice City. The entire forest was even larger than Floating Ice City's territory, and Chaos Ice Cave was at the edge of Silver Moon Forest. Needless to say, this map would become a battleground for high-level players!
I had to hurry or someone else would beat me to it!
After replenishing my supplies and adding a few more Sealing Cards, I was on my way!
I didn't touch the mobs along the way. In reality, I was already Level 61, and killing Level 60 mobs wouldn't give me much experience. The best leveling targets were Level 66 mobs, which happened to be 5 levels higher than me. They were easy to kill and gave me a lot of experience.
This was a long journey. It took me more than an hour to cross more than half of Floating Ice City's territory before I finally reached the edge of Silver Moon Forest.
A large patch of Snowy Cathaya appeared in front of me. Snow fell naturally, and the Stormy War Boots made a nice rustling sound as I stepped on the snow.
The small valley was filled with snow and icicles. I followed the directions on the map and passed through the valley. At the end of the valley, I found a giant wielding a battle axe. He was about twice as tall as me, and he had green fur and blood-red eyes. He glared at me and asked in a hoarse voice, "Brat, what do you want to do in Chaos Ice Cave?"
I raised my head and looked at this NPCs. He didn't attack players of his own accord, and I could talk to him.
"I want to enter Chaos Ice Cave!"
"Hahaha, you'll have to ask my axe first!"
Ding. System Notice: Do you accept the challenge of the Green Giant Guard?
If you win, you will receive a Trial Certificate and enter Chaos Ice Cave for 6 hours!
… …
"Oh?
There's a leveling time limit? "
I couldn't help but smile. I liked this kind of map. Only those with strength could enter, or they could only stare at the Green Giant from the outside.
Confirm, Green Giant Challenge!
Swhoosh!
The scenery around me changed, and I was summoned into the trial space. The Green Giant stood in front of me with his battle axe in hand, glaring fiercely at me. He waved his arms and laughed loudly. "Reckless adventurer, come, I'll let you taste the strength of a mountain!"
I looked around, and the Green Giant's stats appeared in front of me — [Green Giant] (Elite) Level: 70 Attack: 420 ~ 550 Defense: 400 HP: 12000 Skills: [Slayer Slash], [Desperate Gambit], [Flurry] Introduction: The guardian of Chaos Ice Cave, a powerful creature with great Defense and Attack.
