It wasn't long before the first rays of dawn broke through the horizon. Another day and night had passed in the game.
Clang clang clang!
I knocked a Dragonlight Armored Horse back and sent it whining to the ground. At the same time, it dropped a pair of pitch-black war boots.
Beiming Xue walked up to me and picked them up. "Not bad, big bro. A 3-star Purple Gold – grade Level 150 boots …"
He Yi nodded and said, "It belongs to whoever picked it up. This one belongs to Beiming. Let's continue!"
I checked the time and saw that it was 10: 30 in the morning. Before I knew it, I had been online for another 14 hours. This time, I didn't even realize it because sealing the Dragonlight Armored Horses felt so good that I didn't even notice the passage of time. Moreover, every Dragonlight Armored Horse was a treasure, but I could seal them in batches in this super OP map. Honestly speaking, what Lin Yixin had given me this time was too precious to be true.
… …
Murong Mingyue asked, "Lu Chen, we've cleared more than half of the map. How many Dragonlight Armored Horses have you sealed?"
I looked at my bag and smiled, "Um … my luck is pretty high, so the chances of me failing to seal a Sealing Stone are pretty low. From last night until now, I've only failed to seal two Armored Horses. Right now, I have a total of 977 Sealing Stones. How is it? Not bad, right?"
"Wow, it's already 997?"
Both He Yi and Beiming Xue couldn't help but exclaim in delight, "That's great! This means that our dream of gathering 2000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen is a real possibility!"
I nodded. "Yes, it's a real possibility!"
"Heehee, this is great!"
He Yi said, "Lu Chen, contact Chaos Moon and ask her to set up a ranking for all the fighters in the guild. Girls tend to be more meticulous, so I won't leave this to Xu Yang. He's too loyal and impulsive, so Chaos Moon is more reliable." "Okay.
"OK, fans also like to read:!"
I walked up to another Dragonlight Armored Horse and contacted Chaos Moon while killing it — "Hi, Chaos Moon!"
"Hi, vice leader big bro …"
"Fuck, why are you calling me big bro? Something's up!"
"Yes, what is it?" Chaos Moon giggled.
I organized my words and said, "I'll give you a mission. Organize our main guild's melee player leaderboards. Use levels, equipment, skills, and tactics as the standard. Then, embed the leaderboards into the guild system and update them accordingly. Is there any problem with this?"
Chaos Moon was startled and said, "Oh, it's a task that requires a lot of intelligence. Fortunately, I used to do statistics in the company, so this isn't a problem for me …"
I smiled. "Mn, okay. Then I'll leave this quest to you. It'd be best if you can finish it today."
"Yes, I will definitely complete it!"
"Get back to work!"
"Kiss me …"
"…"
… …
After sending off Chaos Moon, I and the girls continued to explore Dragonlight Canyon. This map was much more lucrative than we had imagined. Ever since the battle of Immortality City, the three main cities of China seemed to have grown closer to each other, and the Top 10 guilds on the Guild Ranking could start fighting each other at any moment. If we didn't increase our strength as quickly as possible, there was no way we could win against super guilds like Warsky Alliance, Candle Dragon, Hegemon Palace, Gods of Destruction, and so on. Dark Moon City was a Rank 9 territory, and its location was so good that many people were eyeing it. How were we supposed to defend our city if we didn't strengthen our troops?
I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment as I stared at the pile of Dragonlight Cavalry Sealing Stones in my bag. With these Sealing Stones, we could create 1000 to 2000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen and make them the most elite cavalrymen in the entire world. Moreover, all the warriors in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had reached Level 150 and gained a mount pet slot. This only made the Dragonlight Cavalry even more lethal. Magic knights focused on defense, while warriors focused on both offense and defense. A warrior's cavalry was far more powerful than a magic knight's. For example, warriors like High Fighting Spirits, Li Chengfeng, and Chaos Moon could unleash Xiezhi Howl, Reverse Scale Slash, Rock Crush, and other skills after they obtained a mount. It was practically a one-sided slaughter. Fans of the book also loved to read:

"Hmm, what's that …"
Suddenly, He Yi let out a cry of surprise and pointed her Blade of the Earthen Soul into the distance. At the same time, Beiming Xue narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Hehe, we've finally found what we've been waiting for. It's a boss!"
I looked over and saw a gigantic statue of a Dragonlight Wild Horse covered in icy flames. It was a lot bigger than a normal warhorse, and there were three horns protruding from its forehead. It was clearly a boss-tier existence.
He Yi flew over and smashed the statue with her stone warhammer. A loud rumble reverberated through the air as the surface of the statue was torn apart, revealing the indigo dragonarmor underneath. It looked no different from the Dragonlight Armored Horse's, except it was slightly bigger and had three horns. The boss let out a neigh and revealed its stats under Dark Pupils. [King of Dragonlight Exotic Beasts] (Heaven Rank Boss) Level: 180 Attack: 5540 ~ 7250 Defense: 6000 HP: 5000,0000 Skills: [Hoof Trample], [Armor of the Wild], [Dragonblade Pierce], [Stampede of Beasts] Introduction: The king of Dragonlight Exotic Beasts, the king of all Dragonlight Armored Horses. It is a wild horse with great intelligence, and the Beast Emperor spent a decade trying to tame it to no avail. Left with no choice, the Beast Emperor imprisoned it with magic and covered it with Dragonlight Lava. After the Dragonlight Lava fused with its dragon blood, the King of Dragonlight Exotic Beasts mutated and became incredibly violent and violent. Once it breaks out of its shell, it will definitely cause a storm of blood...
"Fuck!"
I sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "A Level 180 Heaven Rank boss? This is going to be a tough fight. Its max Attack is over 7000, and if we factor in the boss's hidden stats, this Exotic Beast King's actual Attack should be over 20000. Everyone, be careful. Eve and I may not be able to withstand the attacks of a warhorse."
He Yi nodded in agreement. It was true that we couldn't guarantee a 50% chance of winning against such a powerful boss.
Moonlight Stone's face was a little pale. She said, "Are we going to get annihilated …"
Murong Mingyue raised her scepter and smiled. "As long as the tank doesn't die, we won't get annihilated. In other words, as long as Lu Chen is strong enough, we'll be high ~ ~"
Me: "Fuck, what the hell are you talking about? I'm a warrior, and I'm asking a warrior to be the tank at the front, and I'm asking him to be strong enough. What kind of logic is that …"
Murong Mingyue pursed her lips into a smile. "Don't even think about it. Not only do you have three or four AoE skills, but you also have defensive skills like Ghost Deity Armor and Immortality. Hmph, it would be a waste of your talent if you weren't the tank. Now be a good girl and get ready. The boss's AI is about to awaken!"
"Got it …"
I unsheathed the Cyan Netherworld Sword from behind my back. The blade glowed with a blood-red light. It was the effect of undead energy. This Horse King was a living creature, so the undead energy it carried made it a lot easier to kill.
At the same time, I passed the role of party leader to He Yi. Royal Road would increase our HP and Defense by 50%, and it would lower all the boss's stats by around 10%. This Famous General Skill would increase our chances of winning by at least 30%!
I opened my hand and summoned my doppelganger from my Apparition Ring. It could deal damage and tank mobs, so it was a good thing!
… …
"Alright, prepare for battle!"
I said in a low voice, "Beiming, use Bone Eroding Arrow to lower the boss's Defense. Use Mountain Stagger Arrow and Freezing Arrow to suppress the boss's movement and attack speed. Remember, you don't need to deal damage to this boss. Your main goal is to pin it down, understand?"
"Mn, got it, big bro. Fans also like to read:!"
Beiming Xue nodded seriously. We had never encountered such a high-level Heaven Rank boss before, so everyone was very cautious.
"Eve, pay attention to my aggro transfer, and be especially careful of the boss's Dragonblade Pierce. Don't get one-shot no matter what. If you're the target of the Dragonblade Pierce, use Holy Shield immediately. I'll pull the boss, got it?"
"Got it!"
"Sis, keep the boss's HP up. Moonlight, use Ice Dragon Howl to control the boss. We don't care about speed, we care about safety."
"Mn!"
The girls nodded in unison. Let's go!
We locked onto the boss and used Thunderous Charge!
Swhoosh!
I left an afterimage behind me as I controlled my doppelganger to use Charge as well. I was Level 157 right now, so my doppelganger's Charge success rate wasn't low at all.
However, the boss slapped me in the face, and the two beautiful MISSes left me speechless!
"Roar roar!"
The image of a Holy Dragon appeared above the warhorse's head, and it abruptly unleashed Iron Hoof Trample. The shockwave enveloped me, the doppelganger, the Phantom Wolf King and I, and four damage numbers rose above our heads — 29034!
“41772！”
“62883！”
"37285. Book fans also like to read:!"
Fuck, this is bad. Just a single Iron Hoof Trample was enough to make us want to die. The apparition especially lost half of its HP in an instant. That was just too bad!
"Motherfucker, it's so strong!"
After Beiming Xue's Bone Eroding Arrow landed on the boss's head and reduced its Defense by 50%, I swung my sword and hit the boss's neck with Burning Blade Slash + Universe Break. The Beast King let out a miserable howl as a string of damage numbers appeared above its head — 17376!
“25237！”
“32488！”
“29834！”
Burning Blade Slash's three-hit combo was on full display after its Defense was lowered. In fact, the third hit's damage was even higher than Universe Break's because Burning Blade Slash was a skill that stacked on top of one another.
He Yi rode the Dragonlight Armored Horse behind the boss and used Purgatory of Ice and Magma all of a sudden. Five sword auras wreaked havoc in the area and engulfed me. The good news was that she had activated a guild attack, so she couldn't deal any damage to us.
Bang bang bang...
The Exotic Beast King was completely enraged after the fifth attack. It abruptly raised the three horns on its head and used Dragonblade Pierce, dealing three damage in a row. She's in danger!
Thankfully, He Yi's mechanics were much better than before. She quickly lowered her shield and activated Holy Shield!
Chiang chiang chiang...
Sparks flew everywhere as the Dragonblades collided with Holy Shield. Golden ripples spread across the surface of the shield, and He Yi stumbled backward. Her HP had dropped by half, and she was in grave danger!
