"Pop. Everyone else, look at it normally:!"
A card dropped to the ground. I picked it up and looked at it. Tsk tsk, the Demon-eyed Wolf's experience was average, but the card it dropped was pretty good — [Demon Eye Card]: 25% chance to stun the target for 3 seconds, but cannot use the card on the same target for 1 minute...
I quickly tossed the card to Beiming Xue and told her to use Evil Spirit Volley. Basically, every Demon-eyed Wolf would be stunned once, and it would greatly disrupt the mobs' attack rhythm. There were no barriers in this place, and everyone was running around. I wasn't afraid of the Demon-eyed Wolves, but Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue were. They would be dead if they were surrounded by the wolves.
In the middle of the desert, a party of four was running madly with almost a thousand wolves. Thousand Ice Slash, War Crush, and Thousand Ice Slash. Murong Mingyue didn't bother healing everyone. Instead, she used Hellish Rockfall after giving everyone a Rejuvenation. She held the Soul Stealing Spear in her right hand and the shield in her left to protect Murong Mingyue. The Firelight Mouse squeaked and threw balls of fire at the mobs.
Just like that, I swung the Heaven-stealing Sword wildly and unleashed all kinds of skills at the mobs. War Crush was the most powerful of them all!
He Yi raised her slender arm, and a green blade swept through the crowd of monsters, dealing over 5000 damage. Green Wave Slash had reached Rank 5, and it was extremely powerful!
The Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf was like a war fortress. Not far away from me, it swung its claws and killed its own kind.
Almost a thousand Demon-eyed Wolves were killed in about 20 minutes, and they dropped a hundred Rank 8 wolf pelts. I Plunder another thousand or so and threw them all into my bag. I had a lot of space anyway, so I could give them to Yamete later and have him produce more high-level leather armor. Speaking of which, Beiming Xue had recently established a Divine Archer Division in the guild, and most of the leather armor for the high-level archers were provided by Yamete. It was very useful in improving the guild's cohesion and combat power.
Not long ago, Mamate became the king of logistics and was loved by the girls. There were always beautiful female archers who would say to Mamate, "Hey, my greaves are low level and easily damaged. Make me a new one." Then, Mamate would look at the girls' snow-white legs and drool, becoming the happiest middle-aged man in the guild.
…
We looted the battlefield and obtained dozens of Silver-grade and Dark Steel – grade equipment, but very few of them were top-tier. It was a little depressing to say the least. Our levels were too high, so the rewards we got from Level 115 elite mobs weren't that great. Grinding mobs 20 levels higher than us was the way to go!
"Why don't we kill another type of monster?" I suggested.
The girls quickly nodded in agreement. They too had noticed the problem of leveling up slowly.
As we continued forward, we needed to find a higher level monster. That way, it would be more satisfying to kill them.
…
Walking forward while talking and laughing, with beauty by his side, he would not be lonely. Other book friends looked at him normally.
My Barbaric War Boots sizzled as I stepped on the hot sand. Beiming Xue followed closely behind me, and He Yi protected Murong Mingyue. She had a very deep understanding of the laws of knights by now.
Suddenly, a shadow passed by me. Not good, it's a stealthed assassin!
My level was too high, and the Perception of a fourth-promotion player wasn't low either. Despite the assassin's high level, I was still able to see through his disguise. The next moment, I saw the emblem on his shoulder. It was the emblem of Warsky Alliance. He was a Level 93 assassin!
Without another word, I moved away from my original path and appeared next to He Yi. Then, I stomped on the ground and unleashed War Crush!
"What?"
The assassin was caught off guard. He clearly wasn't expecting me to see through his high-level stealth. He stumbled backward, but he was still hit by the shockwave of War Crush. His Magic Shield immediately shattered, and he was hit by the skill!
“2764！”
He only had 3500 HP at most. If he wasn't protected by a priest's Magic Shield, he would've been one-shot by the shockwave of my War Crush!
It was at this moment the girls let out a cry of surprise. They had just discovered the assassin's existence. This assassin's stealth ability was too strong!
Lang LV-93 Silver Assassin Guild: Warsky Alliance Position: Branch Leader...
"Gulp!"
Lang Lang drank a health potion and backed away with a cold look in his eyes. He chuckled. "You really are something, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand. The guild leader told me to tell you that the inner area of Fire Desert is under Warsky Alliance's control. If you don't leave now, don't blame Warsky Alliance for being impolite.
I smiled. "You guys dare to dominate the field and grind?
After you die, tell Warsky that I'm going to grind in Fire Desert today. Come fight me if you dare! "
"You!"
Lang Lang shouted, but I had already raised my sword and unleashed Thousand Ice Slash. I wasn't going to give this weak assassin any chance to survive!
Boom!
Icy Qi overflowed in all directions, and a dazzling light burst out from the scorching hot sand. With a blood-curdling scream, he was sealed in ice. Before the ice could even melt, he fell down. He had already been killed in an instant!
Pitiful bastard. Although he was Level 93, he was far weaker than me. Especially against someone with super high Attack like me, his Defense was nothing. This kind of person could only compete with Du Thirteen. With Du Thirteen's Attack, he might be able to deal 1500 damage to him with one strike. But if he were to PvP with me, he would be one-shotted without a doubt.
… …
He Yi stared at the corpse with a thoughtful look in her eyes. "This person is just a scout. He's not one of our main forces. It looks like Warsky Alliance is planning something big in Fire Desert!"
I nodded. "Yeah. If they're planning to level up, then there must be something nearby that's worth Warsky's attention …"
"Mn!"
I quickly contacted Xu Yang and asked, "Can you find out what Warsky Alliance is doing inside the Fire Desert? Why are they here?"
"Got it!"
Xu Yang was a passionate man, and he had friends all over the world. In fact, he even had friends in Warsky Alliance who acted as informants. With Xu Yang's help, we would be able to learn more about Warsky Alliance.
A few minutes later, Xu Yang replied, "Lu Chen, I heard that Warsky sent a thousand-man party into Fire Desert early this morning. I heard that there are Desert Giants at the heart of Fire Desert, and one of them is called the Desert Giant King. It's a Spirit Rank boss, and Warsky's goal is obvious. He wants to kill the Desert Giant King, drop Spirit-grade equipment, and reach Level 100 as soon as possible. Farewell Song, Laughing At The Heavens, October Rain, and the other experts are already there, so they won't be easy to deal with. Should I bring my brothers and sisters with me?"
I shook my head. "No need. Aren't High Fighting Spirits and Chaos Moon grinding at Hot Wind Harbor?
Don't disturb them. I have boss, sis, and Lil Beiming with me. As long as we don't fight them head-on, we won't be at a disadvantage. Fans like to read the novel. "
"Okay. Contact me if you need anything!"
"Mn!"
… …
After I turned off the communicator, I briefly explained the situation and asked for the girls' opinions.
Everyone looked at He Yi in unison. The guild leader had to be the one to make the decision.
He Yi smiled. "Let's go. I'm going to the heart of Fire Desert Giants …"
Her suggestion was immediately approved. Fine, we were all people who loved to watch the world burn. Since Warsky Alliance had come to provoke us, it was only right for us to respond, wasn't it?
Also, it was thanks to Warsky Alliance that Lin Yixin and I didn't get ganged up on on the ice cliff. Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.
We left the Demon-eyed Wolves' territory and headed straight for the heart of Fire Desert!
It wasn't long before a fiery red domain appeared in front of us. When I looked closer, I noticed that the desert looked like it was on fire. Chains of fire were falling from the sky and hanging between the sky and the earth. It was so hot that no living being dared to approach it.
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have entered the map [Blazing Sea]. While inside, you will lose 100 HP every second. All book friends:!
… …
100 HP every second?
I didn't feel any pressure at all. My HP was enough to last me for two minutes. Also, my Regeneration of the Undead had risen to Rank 5, so I could recover 1.5% of my total HP every second. That was 123 HP. Yep, even if I slept in this OP map, I wouldn't have a problem.
The girls were the ones who had problems, especially Beiming Xue and Murong Mingyue.
"Lu Chen, clear the path. Let's go!"
He Yi smiled and looked into the distance. "This Blazing Sea map surrounds the Desert Giants' territory. If we want to pass through it, we'll have to pass through it. It'll take us about 3 minutes to get there, so make sure to heal everyone. Miss Murong, make sure to heal everyone!"
"Mn!"
I raised my sword and charged forward with the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf in tow. I felt a sudden pain all over my body. I had been burned and lost 100 HP. Let's continue!
Behind me, the girls also followed. However, two ferocious-looking old men appeared in front of us. Their fur was fiery red and their teeth were protruding. They stared at us with hostility!
[Tempest Tiger] (Shadow Rank Mob) Level: 120 Attack: 1240 ~ 1470 Defense: 1200 HP: 70000 Skills: Tear, Blaze Attack, Fire Whirlwind. Introduction: A wandering spirit of the Fire Desert. These Tempest Tigers are so powerful that no human adventurer dared to set foot in the Fire Desert for almost a hundred years...
Damn, shadow-rank mobs were blocking our way? This was going to be a little troublesome. I couldn't let the girls get in our way or we'd all be in a lot of trouble!
I quickly gave the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf an order. It would attack one while I attacked another. Basically, the Level 100 Greedy Wolf could fight a Level 120 shadow-rank mob to a standstill. Once I killed the other one, I could lend a helping hand.
Swhoosh!
I charged forward with Thunderous Charge and stunned a Tempest Tiger in the blink of an eye. Then, I raised my sword and swung it down. Pardon + Desperate Gambit + basic attack landed on the Tempest Tiger's head — "MISS! Fans like to read:!"
“7904！”
“3785！”
Very good. My attack power was much higher than before. Even a Level 120 shadow-rank mob was nothing to me.
The Tempest Tiger let out a roar and stared at me with its red eyes. Then, it raised its claws and swung them at me!
Thud!
I lost 2248 HP amidst the pain. This was a Blaze Attack!
But that wasn't the end. The Tempest Tiger summoned a fiery whirlwind that swept toward me and caused pain all over my body. I lost another huge chunk of HP — 2458!
… …
God damn, this shadow-rank mob is even stronger than a Level 128 shadow-rank mob. That Fire Whirlwind skill was an AoE skill too! It's amazing! It's a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts just like me!
Ice Ray!
Dragon Slaying Slash!
Four numbers popped up above my head — 5409!
“+757！”
“4986！”
“+698！”
… …
Wow, 14% lifesteal is so awesome! It's like I have a little priest with me at all times!
(Ye-zi has been quite messy lately. I got the chapter wrong. Sorry ~)
