139 S-Shaped Passage—The Grave of the Ice Python (1/2)

'Why is it taking so long?'

Qin Ruo waited nervously. He thought that he could get some good suggestions from Slayer's Heart and the others as soon as he gave an account of his problem. Even if they could not think of an idea, at least, he could share some of his problems with them. However, he did not expect them to stay quiet for so long.

He immediately became more depressed.

He could only assume that Slayer's Heart and the others could not think of a good solution or that they had encountered something. Qin Ruo sighed helplessly and simply deactivated the Aquamorph. Then, he leaned on the ice cold wall of the passage to restore his MP through meditation.

To be honest, it was very thrilling along the way.

Since the battle against the Snow Wolf at the small blue lake, he had almost accidentally frozen himself in the lake. Then, he encountered Yetis at the snow path along the way and almost died too. Then, he reached the dangerous Ice Pythons' nest… and now, the Snow Giant and the Wintry Vajra.

The quest was becoming more and more difficult. It was obvious that the difficulty of the quest was increasing to a whole new level towards the last stage. The Snow Wolves had the weakest individual strength, and were the least of a threat to him. Therefore, it was the easiest quest to complete.

Then, the Level 40 Yeti. Its individual strength was quite threatening. In a one versus one battle, he could still fight them, but when it came to twos, he would have no chance at all. By taking the advantage of the snow path, he astonishingly ended the second quest without lifting a finger.

Level 41 Ice Python, with extremely fast speed, and has both melee and long-ranged magic attacks, Qin Ruo surely would not stand a chance to win even if he fought it one-on-one, let alone the fifteen Ice Pythons in the nest. This was too difficult for Qin Ruo to handle.

Not to mention the Snow Giant and Wintry Vajra, from the accidental discovery of the warp portal, it was obviously a duo-quest, a trap set by the system! If it was not because of the fact that he had Aquamorph and Elemental Perception: Water, he would definitely have died when he rushed in without any preparation.

For this last section of the quest, even if he sent a whole team of Tier 3 elites, it was probably not enough.

He pondered for a while…

Suddenly…

He had an epiphany.

Qin Ruo seemed to have figured out something. His hand rested his hand on the leg that was slightly bent, his eyebrows, raised. In his brain, he quickly played back his memory of what happened just now and the encounters along the way. He did not miss a single detail, even of the Wintry Vajra, Snow Giant's den and the Ice Python's nest. They repeatedly played in his mind… and finally!

Qin Ruo patted his head.

'I am really a fool!'

In fact, it was not impossible to kill the Wintry Vajra and the Snow Giant, the key problem was the Ice Pythons.

As long as he could finish off the Ice Pythons, and then utilized the terrain of the hillside, then it was completely possible for him to divert the Wintry Vajra, and even the two Snow Giants to the Ice Pythons' nest. The terrain of the Ice Python's nest had a great hindrance effect on the huge monster.

'If their speed is limited, I will surely gain control of the situation!

'If the battle happens on the edge of the cliff, who will be the ultimate winner of this battle?

'Hah!'

After he figured out all the segments, Qin Ruo burst out in laughter and slapped his thighs. Then he stood up.

'The ridiculous thing is that I always thought that it is an impossible mission, haha! What is so difficult about the Advancement Quest? I am able to find a solution.'

In all the excitement, he quickly acknowledged them in the group chat, then he turned back and went to the Ice Pythons' nest. Whether he could successfully complete the Advancement Quest or not all depended on the fifteen Ice Pythons.

The voice message from Qin Ruo made up Slayer's Heart's mind. He inhaled deeply and sighed.

”His future is probably brighter than we expected, let him choose for himself!” This time, the girls did not object. They silently nodded and continued grinding. If Qin Ruo could really pass the Seven Selective Advancement Quest, the plan to let him join the team was a waste of his talents.
