"God Binding Art!"
I shouted and unleashed a god-tier skill. A beautiful MISS appeared in front of me. My level was too low, so I couldn't do anything to it.
Swhoosh!
I took a few steps back and activated Thunderous Charge. Another beautiful MISS appeared in front of me. However, the Phantom Wolf King was like a wedge that nailed the mob to the ground. It swung its claws repeatedly and dealt a lot of damage. It also used Claw of the Storm every now and then.
I swam to the other side of the Cave Devil Scorpion and unleashed Universe Break + Burning Blade Slash combo, stabbing the Cave Devil Scorpion in the butt.
Clang clang clang! The Cave Devil Scorpion howled in pain and dealt 70k damage in an instant. This wasn't good enough. If I was at my peak, this combo would've dealt at least 150k damage. My level was way too low, so it was difficult to kill this creature!
The Cave Devil Scorpion reacted extremely quickly after it felt the pain, and it swiped its pincers at me. I quickly retreated and urged the Armored Ice Qilin Horse to gallop. Although my resistances had been reduced, my stats hadn't. I was still as fast as ever, and it didn't affect my movement in the slightest.
"Watch out!" Lin Yixin shouted behind me.
I felt a tingling sensation on my back. Fuck, I was hit by the Cave Devil Scorpion's stinger. Not only did I lose over 30k HP, I was poisoned as well. My complexion was ashen.
Lin Yixin giggled from afar. "Oh, Little Cheat, you've become the Hulk …"
I curled my lips. "Fuck, how dare you mock me instead of helping me? I'll deal with you later!"
I continued to fight after that.
Three minutes later, the Cave Devil Scorpion's HP finally hit rock bottom.
"Yiyi, move!"
"Got it!"
Lin Yixin dashed forward and hit the Cave Devil Scorpion's neck with Barrier Break + Extreme Break. A huge damage number floated above its head — "15277!"
“11983！”
Tsk tsk, Lin Yixin's attack power had increased a lot since she reached Level 102. This was especially true after she obtained the Cambrian Divine Armament, the Devil Bell. Her stats were practically OP.
… …
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yixin leveled up to Level 103 immediately. I checked my experience bar and noticed that it had also increased by 87%. Killing an ancient mob that was 60 levels higher than me was a blessing!
According to the party EXP distribution rules, Lin Yixin would get 50% of the experience she killed, and the rest would be distributed according to the DPS ratio. Since most of the DPS belonged to me, it meant that the remaining 50% of the experience belonged to me. This meant that our leveling speed was fairly even.
"Patter …"
The Cave Devil Scorpion dropped a couple of Phantasmal Magic Stones after it died. I tossed them to Lin Yixin and a spear. It was a 1-star Outstanding Purple Gold – grade spear, Devil Scorpion Strike. Level Requirement: 150. Clearly, neither of us would be able to equip this spear for the foreseeable future.
We continued to wander around the edge of the Ghastly Wail Cemetery, but we didn't dare to go too deep. It would be troublesome if we attracted the attention of more than two Cave Devil Scorpions. My God Binding Art wouldn't be able to hold them off, and the Phantom Wolf King couldn't recover its HP. My doppelganger was incredibly fragile, so I had no choice but to run for my life.
We killed the Cave Devil Scorpions one by one, and the sight of our EXP skyrocketing made us very happy. It took us almost an hour and a half to clear out the twenty or so Cave Devil Scorpions in the area. I had reached Level 119, and Lin Yixin had reached Level 115. It wouldn't be long before we could join the fray.
… …
"Little Cheat, look! What's that creepy thing over there?" Lin Yixin tugged at my hand and pointed into the distance.
I looked over and saw a giant creature standing in the depths of the graveyard. Its body was covered in green moss, and it looked like a giant stone monster that had undergone surgery. Its muscles were very strange, and its arms looked like those of a mountain giant. The left half of its head was that of a tiger, and the right half was that of a cheetah. Its body was bloated, and its chest muscles were made up of seven or eight different pieces of flesh. It had four claws, and it was walking quickly on the ground. Its body was covered in petrified skin and moss, and it looked like a Frankenstein.
Devil Giant LV-175 (Ancient) Attack:???
Defense:???
HP:???
Introduction: One of the guardians of the Ghastly Wail Cemetery. These Devil Giants are the product of an undead shaman's experiments. They are the product of cutting and stitching together the bodies of various demonic creatures. They have four legs, incredible movement speed, and powerful arms. They are known as the Stone Guardians of the Ghastly Wail Cemetery...
"Get ready. This thing is a little fierce, so we'll need two people to kill it. It'll take too long."
I suddenly turned around and took out a Level 100 2-star Outstanding Dark Gold – grade bow from my bag and tossed it to Lin Yixin. Then, I took out two sets of rusty, grayish-black arrowheads and tossed them to her. "Here, Yiyi. Use your ranged attacks to kill it!"
"OMG …" Lin Yixin's mouth fell open. "Where did you get this bow and these arrowheads? Every arrowhead deals + 10 Attack? That's pretty low. Even the tempered arrows Qingqing bought have + 250 Attack …"
I curled my lips. "Don't be so picky. Come on, be a good girl and control the mobs from afar …"
"I don't have any ranged skills …"
"It's fine. Just control the mobs. Everyone else, just watch as normal."
"Mn."
I unsheathed my sword and charged at the Devil Giant. The Cyan Netherworld Sword successfully pulled the aggro of the monster to me, and I worked together with the Phantom Wolf King to kill it. This Devil Giant's Attack was pretty good, and a single slap from it could deal over 20k damage. The level difference was just too terrifying. The good news was that my HP had increased by 40% after consuming the Bloodknight Card, so I still had over 120k HP. I didn't need to worry about the monster's damage at all, not to mention that I wasn't the main tank, the little wolf was.
Kris, the Level 110 Ice Dragon, opened her jaws and fired one Frost Breath after another at the monsters. Each attack dealt over -20,000 damage. It was hard to believe that this was a Level 110 pet. With such high Attack Power, it was more than enough to insta-kill any other pet of the same level.
Lin Yixin stood on top of a giant rock, drew her bow, and let loose a barrage of arrows. Although the little beauty had always been a melee class, her archery skills were pretty good. Her accuracy was enough to put over 90% of archers to shame. Her arrows were extremely accurate.
I used Dark Pupils to detect the mobs' weak point and shouted, "Yiyi, the Devil Giant's weak point is its right eye! Aim and kill it!"
"Alright, Little Cheat, attack its weak point too!"
"I can't reach it …"
"You're so short …"
"Fuck, this mobs are three meters tall. How am I supposed to reach them …"
Lin Yixin giggled. "My Little Cheat leaped into the air and punched the rock giant's knee ~ ~"
"Fuck fuck …" I was completely thrown off balance.
The two of us and our pets worked together to bring the mob's HP down to 3% after 7 minutes or so. I stopped attacking, and Lin Yixin charged toward the mob like a barbaric little princess. Then, she used Barrier Break and smashed the mob's head open!
Swhoosh!
I leveled up again. Leveling up in a place like this was the best way to go.
… …
"Pa da!"
The Devil Giant collapsed to the ground and dropped a bunch of magic stones. There was also a cyan card on the ground. I picked it up and couldn't help but smile — [Devil Giant Card]: Increases user's max HP and Defense by 30%. Duration: 90 minutes.
… …
I picked up the card and said with a smile, "Nice! What a powerful card! I'm going to use it first, Yiyi. I'll give you the rest later!"
"Mn. Go ahead!"
Lin Yixin looked at her own stats and said, "It's too bad I only have 100 + Tactics. Otherwise, my Bombshell could've added a lot of stats …"
I asked, "How many Tactics do you have?"
"184 …"
"Yeah, Bombshell can add 71% to all stats. Come on, I'll give you the party leader. Use Bombshell and I'll be a little tougher. We can challenge two Devil Giants at once!"
“OK！”
I switched party leaders and activated my stratagem. The Fruit Knife Goddess's signature Famous General Skill boosted all my stats by 71%, and the Devil Giant Card boosted my stats again. My max HP was now 160k, and my Defense had also increased by quite a bit.
"Haha, this Devil Giant Card is indeed a good item. If you can collect a batch, you can use it in the Arena or Guild Wars. It's very powerful. A group of people with the Devil Giant Card is equivalent to adding a powerful stratagem. Fans of the book love to read 'The Devil'."
"Mn, yeah. Let's continue!"
"Okay …"
… …
The two of us continued forward. We lured a Devil Giant, killed it with our pets, and earned a lot of experience. It was a good thing to grind low-level mobs with high stats.
Chiang chiang chiang...
I was sent flying by the Devil Giant again and again. I raised my hand, and a golden seal suddenly rose into the sky. A large traditional "sword" was imprinted on the ground, and the Devil Giant was immediately hit by a huge blow. It staggered and almost fell to the ground. A huge damage number floated above its head — 78379!
… …
"Wah, Little Cheat, is that your Divine General Skill?" Lin Yixin stared at me in astonishment. "What a beautiful Divine General Skill …"
I smiled. "Yeah, it's an Ancient Seal. It's an attack-type Divine General Skill that automatically activates. It's the reason I was able to hold out against the Life Barrier for so long and wait for you to come online."
"Hehe, what a beautiful skill. I'm so jealous …" Lin Yixin pouted as if she was thinking about how she couldn't use any Divine General Skills even though she was a Divine General.
… …
I was about to console her when we heard the rumbling of hooves from the other side of the graveyard. Soon, a group of Flame Greedy Wolf Riders appeared and surrounded us in the blink of an eye.
A Greedy Wolf Rider walked out and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but this Ghastly Wail Graveyard has become Thunder's leveling ground. Please leave immediately, or don't blame us for being rude!"
