He Yi's meaning was very clear, and I understood her meaning. I put the Crystal Shield into my bag and let the others read it normally.
In Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, besides He Yi and Gui Guzi, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Heaven's Rain, and Diamond Dust were the strongest riders. Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun was a veteran wanderer, so it went without saying that Heaven's Rain and Diamond Dust had only become famous after they learned Knight General. Everyone knew how important this Famous General Skill was, so keeping these two girls in the guild was more important than anything else.
A Crystal Shield in exchange for the loyalty of a Knight General player. This trade was definitely worth it.
Hmm, I'll give this Crystal Shield to Heaven's Rain. She came to Sky City from another city without any regrets, so we needed to show some sincerity. Otherwise, how would we be able to recruit heroes from all over the world?
He Yi had always been a wise and decisive woman. Her decision to give up on the Crystal Shield was undoubtedly a wise one. It was also one of the reasons why she was able to recruit me, Xu Yang, Murong Mingyue, Lian Xin and the others into her team and never left us.
… …
The fourth piece of equipment was the gold-gilded pendant — [Crystal Pendant] (Earth-grade, Outstanding ★): Strength + 150, Stamina + 145. Increases user's Attack by 12%. Outstanding Property: Increases user's max HP by 2000. Level Requirement: 145.
Another Earth-grade item. We had four Earth-grade items in total. Mad Warrior Buffett's drop rate was amazing!
Even though this Crystal Pendant was an Earth-grade item, it was only 1-star Outstanding. Its stats were far inferior to my 5-star Outstanding Spirit-grade God Suppressing Necklace. I tossed the pendant to Murong Mingyue and said, "Sis, why don't you sell this in the auction house for some money?"
“OK。”
Murong Mingyue accepted the pendant. Actually, the money earned from selling it would be invested directly into the Raincube Corporation, so she wouldn't get anything out of it. Of course, the reason why I gave it to her was because she had worked so hard to heal us up to this point. It was simply unacceptable that she didn't get a single drop of loot for us. Moreover, if Murong Mingyue hadn't been there to heal us, He Yi and I would have been killed by Mad Warrior eighteen thousand times already.
The last piece of equipment was the golden longsword. I had promised He Yi that I would give this sword to her no matter what grade it was because I had already obtained the Battle Flame Wristguards.
"Whoosh!"
I waved my hand, and the blade of the sword glowed with a dazzling light. Immediately after, a row of stats popped up. [Blade of the Earthen Soul] (Earth-grade, Outstanding ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★) Attack: 1250 ~ 1420, Agility: + 195, Stamina: + 190, Tactics: + 47 Passive: Increases user's Attack power by 50% Passive: Increases user's Earth-type skill damage by 100% Passive: Increases user's splash damage by 25% Slots: 7 Outstanding Property: Spirit of the Earth. When the blade is swung, there is a 2% chance to trigger the Spirit of the Earth to attack a target within its range. Introduction: The earth is the birthplace of all living things, and the guardians of the earth's depths have been slumbering for tens of thousands of years in order to condense into a peerless divine weapon. This Blade of the Earthen Soul is one of the divine weapons condensed from the earth.
"Damn, what powerful stats …" My mouth gaped open, but I was a little speechless. This Mad Warrior Buffett really gave me too much face. He dropped five pieces of equipment, and all five of them were Earth-grade. Moreover, the Dragonbone String and the Blade of the Earthen Soul were both extremely domineering weapons. At the current stage of the game, weapons like these could be counted on one hand.
I flipped open the equipment rankings, and sure enough, we were pretty much dominating the entire list. My Cyan Netherworld Sword was firmly in the top spot, and this Blade of the Earthen Soul was ranked fourth. The Dragonbone String that I was planning to give to Beiming Xue was ranked sixth, and Lin Yixin's Blade of Violet Lightning was ranked tenth. Three of the top ten weapons of the entire China server were in our hands!
Without any hesitation, I tossed the Blade of the Earthen Soul to He Yi and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Eve. You've become an offensive and defensive high-level knight!"
He Yi caught the Blade of the Earthen Soul and couldn't contain her joy. Her beautiful eyes were filled with joy, and her jade-like fingers caressed the Blade of the Earthen Soul's blade. She couldn't hide the fondness in her eyes as she giggled and said, "What powerful stats. I … I wonder when I'll be able to equip this weapon …"
I smiled and said, "You should be able to level up once you turn in the quest at Mengchuan's place. You're already Level 143, and you're only one step away from Level 145. If you work hard tomorrow, it'll be perfect if you hit Level 145."
"Mn mn!"
He Yi put away the Blade of the Earthen Soul and excitedly made a deal with Murong Mingyue for the next two days. She and Murong Mingyue would take care of the matters of the Raincube Corporation for the next two days, and they would rest for the next two days so that they could catch up on their leveling progress in the game. Otherwise, it wouldn't be right for the guild leader and vice leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls to be so low-leveled.
The Mad Warrior dropped quite a few magic stones, and we quickly distributed them among ourselves. Then, we discovered that there was actually a sky-blue card among the loot. When we picked it up, all three of us immediately froze in shock — [Faerie Dragon Warrior Card -250]: A Rank 10 soldier of the Elven Castle. The guardian of the Elven Kingdom is a brave warrior.
… …
Fuck, the Mad Warrior actually dropped a soldier card?
Wasn't … wasn't this something that could only be dropped by territorial bosses?
It looked like the Mad Warrior was Thunder's subordinate, and he was so strong that he could devour both the Dark Faction and the Dark Faction.
I immediately tossed the Faerie Dragon Warrior Card into my bag. We had no use for this thing, so I decided to give it to Lin Yixin when we got back. Her Elven Castle, Silver Fir City, was rapidly developing, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a group of Faerie Dragon Warriors. A Rank 10 soldier should be a top-tier soldier, and even our Dark Moon City didn't have one.
Lin Yixin was truly lucky. After that, I rummaged through the pile of loot and my eyes suddenly lit up. I found another good item. It was a dark gold skill book with an earthy luster. It lay quietly next to the Mad Warrior's corpse!
I picked it up and took a look. Holy shit, this is good!
[Purgatory of Ice and Magma]: Fires five consecutive earthen sword beams. Imbued with the boundless power of the earth, the sword beam deals five consecutive damage to a target within a range of 4 to 15 yards in front of the user. Each attack deals 75% of the user's Attack Power and summons the power of ice to freeze the target, drastically reducing the target's movement speed.
Level Requirement: 140. Reputation Requirement: 50000. Gold Cost: 10000. Reputation Cost: 5000. Class Requirement: Warrior, Magic Knight, Wanderer.
… …
My blood began to boil with excitement. A five-hit AoE skill! This was definitely a tyrannical skill!
This Purgatory of Ice and Magma skill book's attack method was different from the boss's, but it was still very domineering. I believed that as players reached higher realms in the future, their skills would definitely change as well. Perhaps this Purgatory of Ice and Magma would also be able to unleash a tyrannical AoE skill like the Mad Warrior, instantly killing everyone within a hundred yards!
He Yi giggled from the side. "This is good!
Lu Chen, can you learn it? "
I tried to confirm it, but the system notified me that I couldn't learn it. This skill conflicted with my Burning Blade Slash. Damn, what a pity. This skill's area of effect was much larger than Burning Blade Slash's, so it would be very useful for leveling up. Of course, this skill only dealt 75% of a normal attack's damage, so it was a lot weaker than Burning Blade Slash's.
I passed the Purgatory of Ice and Magma to He Yi and said with a smile, "Eve, I can't learn it. You should try it. You don't seem to have any combo skills, so this is perfect …"
He Yi wasn't the main DPS player when it came to killing bosses, so she was afraid that she would waste such a good skill book. After seeing that I couldn't learn it, she carefully took the Purgatory of Ice and Magma and looked up at me. She whispered, "Can … can I really learn it?"
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the careful look on her boss's face. I put an arm around her shoulder and said, "Go ahead, it's fine. Sister Mingyue definitely won't be able to learn it. Fans like to read the book."
"Mn."
A ray of light scattered as the Purgatory of Ice and Magma disappeared from He Yi's palm. It turned into a skill button in her skill list.
Murong Mingyue giggled. "Okay, Eve, why don't you try using this skill?"
"Mn."
He Yi raised Whirlwind as a serious expression appeared on her beautiful face. She swung her sword, causing a lot of earthy gold light to appear around it. Purgatory of Ice and Magma tore through the air and pierced a distance of fifteen yards. Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! The sword reflected the attack five times in a row, causing countless cracks to appear on the ground. Magma gushed out of the ground as icicles wreaked havoc!
"Wah!" Murong Mingyue cried out in surprise. "So cool …"
I nodded my head in agreement. The sword skill's effect was almost exactly the same as the Mad Warrior's. The only difference was that the area of effect was much smaller.
Mn, from this moment onwards, He Yi was going to transform from a magic knight with high Defense and high HP into a super beautiful knight with both offense and defense.
… …
"Okay, it's perfect!"
I smiled as I raised the Mad Warrior's head and said to the two girls, "Let's go. It's time for us to turn in our quest. Eve should be able to reach Level 143 soon, so let's work hard tomorrow and hit Level 145 to obtain the Blade of the Earthen Soul!"
"Mn!"
We left the ruins of the royal palace in high spirits. After our battle with the Mad Warrior, the super tier Purgatory of Ice and Magma had officially turned this place into a pile of rubble. Fans of the book also loved to read: Hell of Ice and Magma.
We circled around the destroyed area and arrived in front of the stone wall. Knight Guard Captain Mengchuan's corpse was still lying there in the distance, looking completely powerless.
However, when he saw the Mad Warrior's head in my hand, Mengchuan's eyes immediately lit up. He struggled to his feet and exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Young and brave adventurer, I can't help but be impressed by your strength. I can't believe that you actually managed to kill that devil Buffett!"
I nodded and tossed Buffett's head into the air. It rolled to Mengchuan's feet.
Mengchuan's eyes burned with anger as he stared at Buffett's head. He reached out and smacked Buffett's head as he said, "You damned devil, you slaughtered so many brave warriors of the kingdom. To think that such a day would come for you. I knew that justice would one day descend upon you!"
As he said that, Mengchuan raised his head and looked at the three of us. He said, "Brave adventurers, thank you for everything you've done for me. Come, this is the reward that belongs to you!"
There was a ding. There was no equipment reward, but there was a generous amount of experience!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!
All three of us leveled up, and even I reached Level 149. This is awesome! I'm only one step away from Level 150!
… …
He Yi leaned against the wall with a tired expression on her face. After letting out a cute yawn, she said, "I can't take it anymore. Lu Chen, we're going to sleep. What about you?"
"You guys sleep. I'm going to take Mengchuan's corpse to God Domain to find Xinran and finish the quest."
"Alright, then we're going to sleep."
"Mn, sweet dreams!"
