The cold wind howled, and I quickly cleared out the Snow Wolves on the perimeter. Then, I looked in the direction of Hundred Flower Valley and said, "Let's go. We can enter the quest map now!"
"Mn!"
Everyone carefully moved forward. The mobs on the perimeter were already Level 80, so it was hard to imagine how high the mobs inside Hundred Flower Valley would be. However, it was easy to imagine that there would be a lot of powerful elites!
… …
My battle robes fluttered in the wind as I stepped into Hundred Flower Valley. The moment I stepped into the map, the scenery around me suddenly changed. It was as if I had stepped into a different world. The wind and snow disappeared, and the flowers bloomed in the warm spring. It was completely different from the outside world. It was as if a barrier had been set up here!
"Wow …"
The girls followed me in. Beiming Xue's mouth fell open. "The scenery here is so beautiful!
As expected of Hundred Flower Valley, it's so beautiful … "
Lin Yixin nodded. "Yes, it is beautiful. The outside world is an icy plain, but the inside is like spring all year round. What does this mean?"
I said seriously, "It means that Hundred Flower Valley is not safe. In fact, it might be a dangerous place."
"Why do you say that?" He Yi asked.
I smiled. "A Chinese Ghost's Lanruo Temple is desolate, but there are pavilions and beautiful women everywhere. What does this mean? Unusual things are strange. This Hundred Flower Valley is not simple. The mobs inside may be much stronger than the mobs outside!"
"Mn!"
Lin Yixin nodded cautiously and said, "Everyone, be careful. We've traveled a long way to get here. Don't get one-shot and have to return to the city."
"Mn, let's go!"
I walked at the front and followed the path. We entered a valley at the entrance of Hundred Flower Valley. The moment I stepped into the valley, the system bell rang. Ding ~!
System Notice: You have entered a mysterious zone — Hundred Flower Valley!
… …
Fuck, a mysterious zone?
I was speechless. I opened the minimap and found that the entire map of Hundred Flower Valley was a winding path that led to the final destination. On both sides were lush mountains, and the peaks of the mountains were covered in snow. Current players could not reach that height, so it was an impassable zone. If I wanted to collect the Frost Snowball Flower's petals, I had to kill my way in!
Lin Yixin became excited when she saw this terrain. Her eyes widened and she said with a smile, "Hehe, it looks like there may be high-level herbs here!"
I said, "Good luck!"
As he spoke, he walked forward with the Dark Wasp and the Purgatory Sword in hand. After walking for a dozen meters or so, he actually didn't see any monsters. He couldn't help but wonder. He turned around and said, "Why aren't you summoning your pets?"
He Yi laughed softly. "My Wasp is almost Level 70, but its Attack is only 400. It can barely break through the Defense of those Level 70 or 80 elite mobs. What's the point of summoning it..."
Lin Yixin nodded. "Yeah, my Fire Blade can't keep up with the demand at all. I can't even be bothered to summon it anymore. It's a Level 80 pet with less than 700 Attack, so it can only deal a few dozen damage.
Murong Mingyue said with a smile, "Probably only Lu Chen's Dark Wasp can use it. A boss-tier pet can always break through Defense..."
I looked at the Dark Wasp and almost cried. "Actually, the Dark Wasp is a lot weaker. It's fine against normal mobs, but it can't break through the boss's Defense. It can only attract its firepower..."
Beiming Xue laughed softly. "At this stage, as elite mobs are fully released, players' levels can't keep up with the demand. If I'm not wrong, super city maps will be released in the near future. At that time, new pets will appear. They should be much stronger. Fans like to read: The Dark Wasp."
"Mn!"
I nodded in agreement and continued forward with my sword.
Suddenly, He Yi ran up to me and grabbed my shoulder. She exclaimed, "Watch out, something's coming!"
"Oh?"
Following the direction of He Yi's finger, I heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes. Something was rapidly approaching us. As expected, something had appeared!
"Let me!"
The Purgatory Sword flashed, and I activated Charge. I didn't lock onto a target, but instead predicted the target's movement direction and speed. I used Charge about 0.5 seconds in advance. Otherwise, if a fast-moving target locked onto its true body and used Charge, the chances of a miss would be greatly increased. This was the essence of strategy. Sometimes, a player had to fight with all their heart, or they would be at a disadvantage.
Swhoosh!
His whole body turned into an afterimage as he split the grass apart. With a soft "Peng" sound, he accurately hit his target and slashed down with his sword!
Crack!
“2209！”
Damn, my basic attack only dealt this little damage. This monster's Defense isn't low. At the very least, it's much stronger than most armored players at this stage!
After the attack, I took two steps back and prepared to use Pardon!
It was at this moment that something suddenly leaped into the air, causing the girls to turn pale in fright. It was a gigantic spider the size of a roulette wheel, about a meter in diameter, and its entire body was pitch black. It had eight legs, two rows on each side of its body, and its body was covered in disgusting fur. Its head was very small, and there were two dark blue eyes embedded in its head. It stared straight at me with its mouth open, and it seemed to be moving its broken tongue around like an alien!
Motherfucker, even though I was prepared, I was still shocked by this disgusting monster. The girls were even more shocked. We had seen spider monsters before, but never one as disgusting and terrifying as this!
Our combat power was undoubtedly greatly reduced against this monster. He Yi and Lin Yixin, the two warriors, were unwilling to fight. Only Beiming Xue was willing to suppress her disgust and use long-range attacks to help. I was destined to have to endure for a long time.
I glanced at the spider and its stats appeared in the party list. Just as I expected, the levels of the monsters here weren't just any ordinary high!
[Mountain Spider] (Elite Monster) Level: 87 Attack: 850-1050 Defense: 700 Health: 15500 Skills: [Venom], [Web] Introduction: Mountain Spiders have existed on the continent for tens of thousands of years. These mysterious web weavers have always existed in the deep mountains. They are very cruel and are hostile to all living creatures. They also have powerful web attacks and venom attacks. The human empires have given countless orders to exterminate the Mountain Spiders, but have not received any results.
I was dumbfounded. Holy shit, a Level 87 elite mob already has over a thousand Attack? Is there any justice in this world?
As expected, the monsters in Hundred Flower Valley were different. They were much stronger than the ones in the outside world!
Lin Yixin stared at the Mountain Spider and suddenly said, "Hm, this Hundred Flower Valley has never appeared on the world map of Floating Ice City. Is this the sign of a super city opening?
Perhaps you can say that the Hundred Flowers Valley is already a leveling map in the territory of the super main cities?
My heart moved, and I slashed the Mountain Spider. I nodded and said, "Very likely. This Hundred Flower Valley is in the Snow Domain. Logically, such a distant map should be beyond Floating Ice City's territory!"
Murong Mingyue raised a hand to heal me and said with a smile, "That's good. We can experience the power of the monsters in a super map in advance. Lu Chen, quickly finish off this Mountain Spider. An elite can delay you for so long. How can you be the strongest of Floating Ice City?"
I groaned inside. "Damn, who said I'm the strongest of Floating Ice City?
If I don't, then whoever wants to be can be... "
The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Before my strength reached the peak, it was better to be low-key. A hidden dragon should not be used. Wait for the best time to attack, and defeat a powerful opponent in one blow. This was the way of the king!
Clang clang clang!
When the Purgatory Sword hit the Mountain Spider's hard shell, it was like hitting steel. There were even sparks flying. This thing's defense was too strong!
But even so, it could not stop the sharpness of the Purgatory Sword. A 3-star Outstanding Dark Gold weapon was no joke. Just Attack alone had a 17% bonus. I also had a hidden class that added 5 points into Strength. The Undead Swordsman's Strength bonus was said to be the best in Heavenblessed. In terms of Attack, no one was my match.
In fact, all undead creatures had a talent bonus. In addition to Necromancy Energy, undead monsters and players also had a 5% chance to attack weak points. In other words, undead creatures could ignore 5% of their opponent's defense. This was a natural advantage that other races could only be envious of. Other readers were shocked.
High Strength growth, special talent, and various advantages in skills. These factors determined that I had to walk the path of high Attack and high DPS. Otherwise, it would be a waste of the powerful undead swordsman class!
Clang!
Another spark. The first Mountain Spider finally let out an ear-piercing wail and fell, dropping a lot of things!
I walked forward and took out the spoils of war from the grass. It was a 98 Quality Phantasmal Magic Stone. I hadn't thought that elite monsters would drop Phantasmal Magic Stones. These things were quite valuable. A small stone could be worth a few gold coins. In the real world, it would be a few dollars. Eating breakfast would not be a problem.
Apart from that, the Mountain Spider also dropped a blood-red gem that shone brightly. Looking at its stats, everyone was shocked — Mountain Spider Blood Sac: High-grade medicinal ingredient. When added to health potions, it increases health potion healing effects by 20%!
… …
20% increase healing effects of potions?
My eyes widened. This was in the same series as my carrot. Good stuff. 20% was very high. This meant that a Rank 8 Health Potion could recover 2500 HP. After adding this Mountain Spider Blood Sac, it could recover 3000 HP in one go. It was a godly recovery potion!
Lin Yixin walked forward and whispered, "This... this Mountain Spider Blood Sac, can you give it to me?
I need this thing... "
I nodded. The girls had no objections. Our workshop did not have players who studied Potioneering, so it was useless to keep it. We could take it back to the city and sell it, but since Lin Yixin asked, I had to give it.
I gave the Mountain Spider Blood Sac to Lin Yixin and said, "Hurry up and kill. There must be many Mountain Spiders ahead. Yiyi, help kill, don't slack off!"
"Yes!"
