"Alright, come on in. Everyone else, read as normal!" I whispered in the party channel.
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
The entrance flashed a couple of times, and the beautiful girls entered the Dragon God Cave one after another. Lin Yixin missed a step and crashed into me. The two of us staggered to the edge of the passageway and stared at the bottomless abyss just a meter away from us. Lin Yixin couldn't help but stick out her tongue and say, "That was close. Game over …"
I said exasperatedly, "Be careful. Actually, falling down might not be game over. I have the Ancient Divine Dragon, so I can fly back and forth."
"I'm afraid it'll be difficult …"
He Yi pointed the Fire Suppressing Sword at the center of the abyss and said, "Look, there's a towering totem pillar at the center of the cave. What's that?
Don't tell me it's a bat … "
When everyone took a closer look, they discovered that there were many winged dragons attached to the pillar. No wonder He Yi said that I couldn't fly. If an Ancient Divine Dragon were to take flight, the winged dragons would definitely be alerted. No matter how high my Defense was, I wouldn't be able to take down a group of high-level dragons.
"Thank goodness we should be careful. This map is very overpowered. If we die once, we won't be able to enter again for a day."
"Mn mn."
… …
I pulled out Coldness of the Nine States and summoned the Phantom Wolf King and my apparition again. I walked at the very front of the group and said, "I'll scout the path ahead. Sis Mingyue, you'd better be ready to heal me at any time. This ring is a map of the first floor, but there's definitely a path leading to the second floor in this ring. We just need to walk one round and we'll be able to find it."
Beiming Xue blinked once before asking with a smile, "Big bro, will Warsky and Candlelight Shadow follow us into this map?"
"They won't!"
"Why?"
"It's simple. Warsky and Candlelight Shadow will be afraid that we'll block the entrance and kill anyone who tries to enter. That's why they won't enter Dragon God Cave for at least an hour. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that they'll send cannon fodder to investigate the situation, but they won't do so for at least half an hour. The rest of their elites are afraid that they'll lose their popularity."
"Mn!"
…
Fumbling around in the darkness, even with Dark Pupils, I couldn't see far. I could only raise Coldness of the Nine Continents high up in the air. Icy light shot out, but I could barely maintain a field of vision of about 5 meters.
"Rustle …"
His battle boots stepped on the scorching stone steps that no one had stepped on for tens of thousands of years. Strella was definitely a fire attribute dragon. The entire Dragon God Cave was as hot as a steamer.
"Hiss hiss …"
In the darkness, a heart-shaking cry could be heard. On the map, a blood-red dot appeared in front of them. Tsk tsk, a monster had appeared!
I suddenly brandished the Azure Dragon Shield in my left hand and leaped forward. I wanted to see what kind of monster we would encounter in the Dragon God Cave.
"Hua!"
A gust of wind blew into my face. Immediately after, a sinister face appeared in front of me. It was a mutated dragon head, about the size of a human head. Its body was the shape of a human covered in scales, and it had a tail about two meters long. It suddenly attacked in the darkness, giving me very little time. Sword light flashed, and the sound of impact came from the Azure Dragon Shield — "Clang clang clang clang clang!"
After five consecutive slashes, my left arm was almost numb. God knows what this thing was, it could actually deal so much damage to me in one hit!
“90887！”
“89283！”
“91237！”
“88724！”
“102281”
Finally, under the illumination of Coldness of the Nine Continents, the monster was only a meter away from me. Its true appearance was revealed. It was a Dragonoid Warrior wielding a pair of swords. Blade energy exploded, and the two swords merged together. A mountain-shaking strike fiercely slashed at the Azure Dragon Shield. Even with my Defense, I was forced to retreat again and again — Combat Log: Dragonoid Blade Demon used [Dual Blade Slash], dealing 219882 damage to you. Other book friends, look at it normally:!
… …
"Scram!"
I abruptly kicked out with my battle boots. My entire body flipped in the air, and my boots accurately struck the Dragonoid Warrior's neck, sending him flying along with his sword. Then, I followed up with a Burning Blade Slash at the Dragonoid Blade Demon's head — "290878!"
“341287！”
“412662！”
I followed up with another War Crush. My avatar, the little wolf, and the snake king Little Teal also attacked together. The Dragonoid Blade Demon's HP dropped to rock bottom in the blink of an eye, and I finally had a chance to check out the monster's stats. [Dragonoid Blade Demon] (Devil Rank Mob) Level: 280 Attack: 39800 ~ 57500 Defense: 50000 HP: 3000000 Skills: [Dragonblade Quintuple Slash], [Double Blade Slash], [Dragonscale Reflect] Introduction: The Dragonoid Blade Demons are a group of pitiful warriors whose souls were devoured. They were once chosen as Dragon Knights, but before they could obtain a dragon-type mount, they were betrayed by the dragons and became the undead soldiers of the Dragon God Cave. After being infected with draconic power, they mutated. Their bodies grew dragon scales, their arms became incredibly powerful, and they wielded two blades with terrifying explosive power. It was because of this group of Dragonoid Blade Demons that no one was able to set foot in the Dragon God Cave for the last hundred thousand years...
Kacha!
Coldness of the Nine States abruptly sent a chill down my spine and dealt 7x damage to the Dragonborn Blade Demon. The round head rolled all the way to He Yi's feet, causing our beautiful guild leader to whimper and duck a little. Then, she kicked the sinister-looking dragon head to Murong Mingyue's feet.
Murong Mingyue's eyes widened. "Holy shit …"
The beautiful giant priest kicked the Dragonoid Blade Demon into the air, and the dragon head fell into the depths of the Dragon Abyss.
I walked up to check out the item the Dragonoid Blade Demon dropped. It was a 78 Quality Purple Crystal that could be sold for 780 RMB. Tsk tsk, SSS Rank maps were filled with riches. Even a small stone could be sold for this much money. However, it was clear that normal people couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment. The Dragonoid Blade Demon's attack power was obvious to all. It dealt over 700k damage to me in an instant, and my Defense was 600k. I also had the Ghost Deity Shield. A normal eighth-promotion warrior probably wouldn't be able to survive even three of their lives.
Lin Yixin stared at the Dragonoid Blade Demon's corpse and said confidently, "I can predict that this Dragonoid Blade Demon is going to start a massacre on the first floor. Other than players at Warsky and Candlelight Shadow's level, no one can withstand its Dragonoid Blade Quintuple Slash + Double Blade Slash + basic attack combo. Even someone at Laughing At The Heavens' level might not be able to withstand it …"
I smiled. "Then let's expand our advantage and get to the second floor as soon as possible. We're going to be ahead of everyone, hmph hmph!"
Lin Yixin tilted her head and asked me with a smile, "Don't you feel invincible with such high Defense?"
"Heh, yeah. Not even Little Gui's lifeforce is as strong as mine …" I said complacently.
He Yi was dumbfounded. "Gui Guzi?
Er, his level and equipment are inferior to yours. Unless he's wielding an Immortality Blade, his lifeforce is far inferior to yours … "
"I'll give him my Dragon God Shield when we get back. At least he'll have 25 seconds of invincibility from Divine Dragon Protection."
"Mn!"
… …
We continued forward. We circled around the Dragonoid Blade Demons we could, and killed the ones we couldn't. At first, the Dragonoid Blade Demons appeared one by one, but eventually, two of them had gathered together.
"What should we do? How are we going to kill two of them?" He Yi asked.
I said, "I'll use God Binding Art to bind one of them and focus on killing the other. Then, I'll kill the other one. Everyone else, just watch."
"No need!"
Lin Yixin said with a smile, "Leave the other one to me. I want to see just how strong the Blade Demon's Attack is …"
"Be careful, don't get one-shot …"
"Don't worry, sis. Get ready to heal me …"
"Let's go!"
Lin Yixin and I activated Charge at almost the same time and locked onto a Blade Demon each. Our swords danced in the air and we killed them very quickly, but the Blade Demon's counterattack was also very powerful. I lost 700k HP in an instant, but Lin Yixin didn't fare too well. The Blade Demon took away 1.4 million HP. Thank goodness Murong Mingyue was there to heal her, or she would've been in real danger.
After killing one Blade Demon, I helped Lin Yixin out of her predicament and killed the other one. I asked dumbfoundedly, "What do you think? Do you still want to solo a Blade Demon?"
The beautiful girl blushed and said resentfully, "No, I'll leave it to you, Little Cheat …"
"Hmph hmph, I told you … the mobs here are at least two or three times stronger than the mobs in the outside world. Otherwise, how could this Dragon God Cave be called an SSS Rank map?"
"Uuu, I know I was wrong. Don't lecture me, you bastard …"
"..."
… …
The mobs grew more and more ferocious as we continued forward. This time, four Blade Demons appeared at once, and they were less than ten yards away from each other. If they were attacked, they would swarm us all at once, and it was impossible to wait for them to scatter. That would take at least ten minutes, and we couldn't afford that.
"How are we going to kill them this time?" Lin Yixin asked. Everyone else looked at her normally.
I thought for a moment and said, "Same old method. I'll use God Binding Art to bind one, my apparition will use God Binding Art to bind another, and Beiming Xue will stun the rightmost one with Shock Arrow. Once Shock Arrow wears off, Lian Xin will use Frozen Domain to freeze them all. We'll focus our firepower on the rightmost one, and after that, we'll focus our firepower on the rightmost one. If God Binding Art misses, Eve will tank one of the Blade Demons, or we can use our pets to tank the damage. Pet levels aren't that important, so it's fine if they die …"
"Er, alright …"
"Go!"
I raised my hand and used Summon the Wind and Summon the Rain. Ten Thousand Absolute Sword immediately followed up with an AoE skill. All four of us were within attack range, and when the Blade Demons started to move, I activated God Binding Art with my doppelganger. Our two-pronged maneuvers were still as good as ever. Two Blade Demons stopped moving at the same time, and Beiming Xue's Shock Arrow flew out and stunned the third Blade Demon.
"Ka Ka Ka", a series of fierce slashes. The first Blade Demon died, and I took the opportunity to use a Million Sword Absolute Step + [Summon the Wind and Rain] to deal as much damage as possible to the monster's HP. The strongest DPS could be exchanged for the safest way to kill monsters. This was absolutely necessary.
In an orderly fashion, the four Dragonman Sword Demons fell one after another. The Purple Crystals that they dropped were split among everyone so that no one would lose out. Rolling was one thing. I still remembered the last time I went to grind with Lin Yixin and He Yi. We had dropped 17 Purple Crystals, and we had to roll them to decide who they belonged to. I didn't get a single one, and I almost suffered an internal injury that time.
… …
After we finished distributing the Purple Crystals, we continued forward until five Blade Demons appeared at the same time!
"Wow …"
Lin Yixin sucked in a deep breath. "Do you really have to be so cruel …"
It was at this moment Beiming Xue blinked and pointed behind us. "Big bro, there are four people coming from behind us, and they don't look like China players."
