In the afternoon, on the eastern gate bridge of Floating Ice City, book fans still liked to read:
I leaned against the stone railing, hugging my sword. I had already taken off my cloak, so I looked mysterious and murderous. My armor glowed with flowing light, and my blood-red cloak fluttering behind me.
He Yi and Murong Mingyue walked side by side and commented on me, "Eve, our Lu Chen has grown a lot in the past two years, haven't he?
Two years ago, he looked like a hothead, but now he looks like a mature empress... "
He Yi nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, much more handsome than before!"
"OMG, you only know how to be handsome. I despise you..."
He Yi: "..."
… …
A while later, Beiming Xue and Moonlight Stone also came. Book fans still liked to read:
Beiming Xue was wearing high-rank leather armor and holding a shining longbow. Her blood-red eyes were full of smiles as she walked over and said, "Boss, what map?
Is it rich? "
I waved my hand. "Absolutely. After this map, I don't have to work for half a year and live well!"
"..."
Moonlight Stone looked at me and then at Beiming Xue. Suddenly, she said sourly, "Heavens!
Handsome Broken Halberd and Beauty Beiming Xue have red eyes. They're so beautiful. Why are my eyes black? "
Beiming Xue smiled but didn't say anything. I was overjoyed. Then, I pointed at He Yi and said, "Look, her eyes are black too. Isn't she a super beauty?"
He Yi smiled sweetly. She was definitely happy on the inside.
Murong Mingyue pouted and squeezed in front of my finger. When my fingertip touched a piece of soft flesh, I jerked back like I was electrocuted.
The eyes of the undead were red. Both Beiming Xue and I had red eyes. Gui Guzi was still a skeleton, so he didn't have eyes yet. However, he reminded me of Lin Yixin. She was a succubus with purple eyes. She was also beautiful and enchanting, the kind of beauty that could shake one's soul!
I raised my sword and added everyone into the party. "Let's go!"
"Mn mn!"
He Yi said, "Lu Chen, share the quest!"
"Oh!"
A ding later, I shared the quest with all four of them. The girls immediately exclaimed in surprise — Beiming Xue: "Heavens, it's an A-rank quest, and a mid-rank one at that?"
He Yi: "It looks like it won't be easy …"
Murong Mingyue: "Heehee, finally, I can eat one mouthful of fat for three years!"
…
He Yi looked up at me and asked, "Lu Chen, can our third-promotion party complete an A-rank quest?
A few days ago, Mingyue, Xu Yang, and I went to complete a B-grade intermediate mission, but we got wiped out … "
I was speechless. "This …"
Murong Mingyue continued expressionlessly when she saw that I couldn't bring myself to say anything. "This time, it's different. Last time, you and Xu Yang were the tanks, but this time, it's Lu Chen. Their strengths are on completely different levels, so you don't have to worry …"
He Yi: "..."
I smiled and said, "This time, our party composition is more scientific. My pet Dark Wasp and I will be the tank, Sister Mingyue will be the healer, and Beiming Xue and Moonlight Stone will be the ranged DPS. It's perfect!"
He Yi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "What about me?"
I looked at her and said after a while, "You eat the experience. We'll talk after you reach Level 60. Also, boss, your equipment isn't very strong right now. Does it have 500 Defense?"
He Yi blushed. "Just a little bit, just 397..."
"OMG, lower Defense than mine. You should've changed your shield a long time ago!"
"Mn, oh, I don't have a better choice right now."
I nodded. "This time, try to kill a few more bosses and get some high-grade metal armor. You get the equipment first, I won't fight for it. Everyone else, just look at it as normal!"
He Yi nodded with a smile. "Okay, let's do that. Let's go!"
… …
We left Floating Ice City, passed through a dense forest, and headed straight toward the south of Floating Ice City.
This quest was very far away, and we had to reach the zone point of the world map. Any further and we would reach another server map, so it wasn't open yet.
And so, we walked for more than two hours, and the girls' tongues were hanging out of their mouths.
Murong Mingyue wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Damn, is this a long march?
I'm afraid we'll have to log off and eat dinner by the time we reach Myriad Poison Cave … "
He Yi shook her head. "Then let's skip dinner. I've been on a diet lately …"
I looked back at He Yi, and then at Murong Mingyue. He Yi's body was incredibly beautiful, her legs were round and long, and her chest was full of mountains. She didn't need to go on a diet at all, but Murong Mingyue's chest was too big. She needed to go on a diet!
I said, "I think the person who's going on a diet is going to exchange it, right?"
Murong Mingyue flew into a rage and smacked my head with her scepter. "Are you saying that your sis is too fat, you little brat?"
He Yi shook her head and chuckled. "Sigh, I told you, a woman who eats nine meals a day isn't someone you can afford to hurt …"
I covered my forehead. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
… …
In the end, the girls came to an agreement and decided not to eat dinner. Instead, they were going to go on a diet and learn more about the situation inside Myriad Poison Cave. Then, they could discuss whether or not to eat dinner.
My suggestion was rejected right away. I was displeased, but I didn't dare to complain. There were four of them, and I couldn't reason with them or beat them, so I had no choice but to endure it. The rest of the readers read it as normal:
It was at this moment we passed by a palm forest, and a bunch of ferocious wild bears appeared in front of us. Their names were blood-red, and they were roaring loudly!
"It's a Level 70 mob. Everyone, be careful, boss!" I said cautiously.
He Yi shot me an annoyed look and whispered, "Don't call me boss from now on!"
"What should I call you then?"
"You can call me by my name or Sister Yi!"
"Sister Yi?
Ahem, why does it sound so weird … "
"Then call me Eve. Boss sounds so distant!" He Yi said with a smile. "People will think that I'm the boss of the Axe Gang, but do you think I look like one?"
I couldn't help but take another look at her. In the end, what I shouldn't have done was to see her looking at me with a calm posture. In the end, the outline of her chest armor revealed a dreary expression. Yep, I almost petrified!
"Hmm?"
He Yi also looked down at herself, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. She shot me a glance and said, "Let's clear the path. Myriad Poison Cave isn't far away!"
"Mn!"
I focused my mind and walked at the front. After killing a couple of wild bears, we entered the forest without any pressure.
The trees and flowers in front of us started to wither as we walked. It wasn't long before the forest turned purple, and everything around us looked sickly. We had entered Myriad Poison Cave's territory!
He Yi pointed to the front and said, "Look, Myriad Poison Cave is over there!"
"Mn!"
The quest indicated that Myriad Poison Cave was right in front of us. It was an unusually deep cave, and no one knew what lay at the bottom.
I took the lead because my HP and Defense were the highest in the party, so it was only natural that I would be the one to clear the path.
When we got closer, I noticed that the entrance to Myriad Poison Cave looked like a barren tomb. The entrance wasn't very big, and it was just big enough to fit a person. If Yamete was here, he probably wouldn't be able to fit through it.
Swhoosh!
Murong Mingyue raised her hand and cast Recovery on me. It was a skill that could slowly recover HP, and it was suitable for prolonged battles.
"Go, Lu Chen! We'll cheer for you from behind!" Murong Mingyue said with a smile.
He Yi and Beiming Xue shouted at the same time, "Watch out!"
The girls exchanged wary glances with each other. As expected, two tigers couldn't live on the same mountain unless it was a male and a female!
… …
Holding the Ghost Ice Soul, I didn't say anything and went into the cave with the Dark Wasp. The Ghost Ice Soul was a Gold-grade weapon after all, so it glowed faintly and provided some visibility. The cave was very damp and dark, and the surroundings were filled with colorful grasses. I didn't even need to think to know that they were all poisonous grasses.
Finally, when my feet touched flat ground, my surroundings lit up. I had entered an open map!
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have entered the evil zone — Myriad Poison Cave First Floor!
Ding ~!
System Notice: The map's special effect activated. Due to the effects of Myriad Poison, you have been invaded by an endless amount of poisonous gas and lose 10 HP every second!
… …
Fuck, this map is amazing. I'm losing 10 HP every second?
That means I'm losing 100 HP every second, and 600 HP in a minute?
I was a melee class, and my Regeneration of the Undead was more than enough to counteract the poison effect. But what about a mage like Moonlight Stone?
Moonlight Stone only had around 900 HP, so she would die in about a minute!
It looked like Murong Mingyue's healer was going to be under a lot of pressure in this map ~ "Lu Chen, what's the situation down there? Is it dangerous?" He Yi asked.
I sucked in a deep breath before saying, "Eve, you guys can come in. But be careful, there's a poisonous gas in the lower levels, and we'll lose 10 HP every second. Sis, you'll need to keep healing yourself and everyone else. Otherwise, we'll die without even knowing what's going on!"
Murong Mingyue said, "Mn, got it. We're coming down!"
A few minutes later, all four girls appeared on the first floor of Myriad Poison Cave. Their eyes were as wide as saucers as they could, and they stared at their surroundings with wide eyes.
"As expected of Myriad Poison Cave …" He Yi pointed at a monster in front of her and said with a smile, "Look, there's a centipede-like insect over there!"
I immediately stood in front of the monster. The insect was about two meters long, and its entire body was covered in a hard shell. It was twisting its body, and a sinister face could be seen on its head. Its limbs were as tough as steel, and it looked like a cross between a cockroach and a centipede!
I glanced at the monster and read its stats — [Myriad Poison Sandworm] Level: 70 Attack: 420 ~ 550 Defense: 400 HP: 6500 Skills: [Bite], [Venom Attack] Introduction: A terrifying creature born in the Land of Myriad Poison. This poisonous insect only lives in highly toxic environments, and it can use its venom to attack its enemies. It is a junior guardian of Myriad Poison Cave.
