Chapter 158 – Entering Cruel Leaf Valley (2/2)
Scratching my nose, I said, “Don’t make fun of the dead!”
“Haha…”
Dong Cheng Yue in the air yelled, “Be careful guys, a monster just appeared north of us…”
“Oh?”
Wan Er and I looked over to where Dong Cheng pointed and sure enough, a pile of bones were slowly crawling together. Soon, it became a skeleton soldier with a rusty mace. It seems as if as soon as we got close, the dead begun to rise and fight on this ancient battlefield once more-
【Northern Frontier Undead](Elite rank monster)
Level: 55
Attack: 780-1110
Defense: 800
Health: 6000
Skills: 【Combo]【Iron Blade Sweep]
Description: A Northern Frontier Undead, these elite soldiers were once a part of the Northern Frontier Barbarian Tribes. After being defeated by Ran Min’s army, these soldiers were left to die in foreign lands. Their Undeads refused to depart from the lands and guarded the battlefields for a new enemy to fight for eternity. They are savage and ruthless and always prefer to kill their enemies quickly.
……
“It’s coming!”
I took out my Frost Rain Sword in front of me and under my foot, a surge of energy rippled through my body, signifying the casting of [Turmoil Sword] and increasing my attack power by 10%. Feeling my whole body warm up from Yuzi Chengshuo’s [Encourage], my attack was increased again by another 6%! Feeling like I was at the peak of my power, I charged straight at the Northern Frontier Undead. With golden hexagrams signifying a Lv 4 [Combo], I struck at it’s shoulder–
894!
871！
842！
911！
My wrist turned once more, and the Frost Rain Sword shook as the [Fierce Ice Blade] struck. A bright cyan ray of light pierced down from the clouds and met my blade. It was a fatal strike!
4484！
Not only was it a fatal strike, it was also a critical strike and killed the Lv 55 Elite Monster instantaneously!
……
“Damn…”
Yuzi Chengshuo looked at me astonished, “What … what kind of attack damage do you have, to have a single attack do 4484 points of damage … Even if it was a critical blow, this is really too much damage. Xiao Yao, exactly how high is your attack? This is abnormal, even terrifying. I’ve never seen a fighter from Jiu Li City who can do the same amount of damage as you…”
Wan Er explained the strike in detail, “Chengshuo, his blow triggered a fatal strike, so it’s no wonder he did that much damage. Otherwise, it should have only done about 3000 points of damage.”
Chengshuo looked even more frightened upon hearing that, “That was the result of a fatal blow? How splendid … but doesn’t have that many superior swords yet. Only the Frost Rain Sword, the currently number 1 weapon on the list, is a Superior Tier sword… Hold on, are you saying that Xiao Yao is the owner of the Frost Rain Sword?!!”
Wan Er smiled sweetly, “Of course, Chengshuo. Why else would I invite Xiao Yao to come on this SS ranked mission?”
Chengshuo gave a small nervous chuckle, “I had thought that he was a special person to you…”
With a “peng”, Wan Er’s face flushed red, “That … that wasn’t the reason…”
“Whatever the case is, let’s continue onwards! We’re about to enter the Five Barbarian Barren Hills!”
“Yea…”
……
As we traveled onwards, we killed hundreds of Northern Frontier Undeads and eventually our team advanced to the depths of the valley. On a side note, Matcha was extremely happy from the voyage; the amount of experience she was getting from all of the monsters was far richer than her usual grinding spots and she quickly became the fastest leveler in our group.
Standing deep within the entrance of the valley, I took a look at the coordinates, “If we move forward 50 meters, we’ll be at the entrance of the Five Barbarian Tomb!”
Wan Er nodded her head in excitement, “Let’s go!”
My Purple Dawn Boots started to glow slightly with the signs of flames, so I took the lead farther into the tomb while my Fire and Ice Cloak billowed behind me. Even the Ancient Tablet on my back started to glow faintly. Walking around the mountain pass, I was immediately stunned by the sight before me–
The primitive forest we had just traveled through suddenly had an ancient building pop out of nowhere! A giant head of a stone wolf appeared alongside it and approximately 5 meters below the stone wolf, a stone statue stood. A sword was propped within its hands but the head had already fallen off. The sword itself, had an engraving, saying “Here lies the Heavenly Prince Ran Min!”
……
“We’re here!” Wolf clenched his dagger with excitement.
I looked up to see the post, “Where is the entrance?”
Pulling my hand, Wan Er pouted, “Well, there’s a hole under the stone, so it must be the key hole! Come on, put the key in so we can go in!”
“Got it!”
Reaching into my inventory, I pulled out the wrapped key. With a “hua,” the giant key was retrieved and all of the men looked shocked at my package. “My god! What a long and wide key! Where does it go?”
