Chapter 290 – Dragon Knight’s Knee Guards (2/2)
I picked up a necklace dropped by Fushen Thousand Blade, which increased Toughness by 47, Stamina by 45, and Intelligence by 42. I directly tossed it to Wolf, requesting that he give it to Matcha when he would see her. A necklace that increased Toughness was extremely suitable to players with high health and defense.
Jiang Feng Han looked back, only to see the scene of Fushen Thousand Blade being instantly killed. His heart trembled, as he tightly curled up his fists, and roared, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai! XIAO YAO ZI ZAIIIII!!!!!!!”
Mu Rong Yun calmly said, “Han, go. Leave here. We still need to defend against the tenth wave of monsters. Command everyone to retreat. Don’t be killed in vain. Each person that Li Xiao Yao eliminates will raise his weapon’s attack by 1%. Unless we are able to kill him instantly, we won’t be able to defend against this person. For now, it would be better if we avoided him!”
Jian Feng Han nodded and raised his sword, “Retreat! Head toward the south side of the [City of the Ancients]!”
……
[Zhan Long]’s people wouldn’t give up this opportunity to hunt and slaughter them. An elite party led by me, Yue Qing Qian, Wolf, Li Mu, Wang Jian, and others, chasing them for almost 800 meters. We only stopped our pursuit after forcing the players of [Vanguard] to the east of the city. On the way, the bodies, equipment, and potions of the [Vanguard] players were seen everywhere, which we completely swept clean.
In the distance, Soaring Dragon, Drunken Spear, and other members of [Flying Dragon] had eliminated the last Warhawk Knight. Their expressions were indescribable, as they watched, stupefied, the scene of [Zhan Long] hunting down [Vanguard] ——
Soaring Dragon spoke in a trembling voice, “[Zhan Long] is so……so terrifying. They actually chased after [Vanguard]…… That’s… That’s [Vanguard] you know……”
Drunken Spear frowned, “It’s mainly because the Emperor Qin‘s Sword in the hands of Xiao Yao Zi Zai is too frightening. Jian Feng Han doesn’t even dare to compete with Xiao Yao Zi Zai. That… that is really an imbalanced sword. [Vanguard] was probably ruined by that sword this time. Their successes and failures are all due to the very same reason: if Jian Feng Han had not cheated Xiao Yao Zi Zai for a heavenly sword, [Zhan Long] would probably not be hunting down [Vanguard] right now….”
Black Tortoise calmly replied, “The things that happen in this world can’t really be explained clearly. Many people said that Jian Feng Han swindled Xiao Yao Zi Zai’s heavenly sword, but consider this carefully: [Vanguard] contributed people and labor. Why should the best loot be given to an outsider? I watched the video of that battle. In fact, Jian Feng Han was not entirely at fault, Xiao Yao Zi Zai and Li Mu were too aggressive……”
Drunken Spear laughed with his eyes full of meaning, “No. I don’t think that is aggressive. That is a bottom line principle that strong people should have. Jian Feng Han has already angered elites like Xiao Yao Zi Zai and General Li Mu. A scholar prefers death to humiliation. If it was me, I would turn against him and might even be more extreme……”
Black Tortoise, “ Alright, Little Flower, I admit that what you’ve said makes sense…..”
“Bro, don’t call me Little Flower! That was something from so long ago……”
“Alright, Little Iron Spear……”
“Just call me Little Flower……”
“……”
……
Retreating with the Emperor Qin’s Sword, I checked the number of stacks that [Kill For Blood] had. It was already a terrifying 303%. This hunt had killed many people; thousands of [Vanguard] players had been chased and slaughtered at the north side of the [City of the Ancients]. No wonder Jian Feng Han’s look had become so unsightly. The all-powerful [Vanguard] had actually been hunted down and killed. This was a humiliation that he could not bear.
Who hasn’t suffered humiliation? Wasn’t I also hunted down in different maps as well? From [Wrath of the Heroes] to [Valiant Bravery], [Flying Dragon], and [Vanguard], who hasn’t wanted to kill me? But why does this matter; these small debts would all be returned by me, one by one. A strong person must have a grateful heart, and thank all those that had previously humiliated and looked down on them.
……
Right at that moment, a system notification sounded throughout Ba Huang City. The 9th wave BOSS had already been killed by our [Zhan Long]’s beautiful Matcha –
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations to Player Strawberry Matcha for successfully killing the 9th wave BOSS of the【City of the Ancients](Ba Huang City). Rewarded Charm +9, Experience 100% increase, as well as the SS-ranked skill book:【Grip of the Firefox]!
……
I was at a loss, and asked in the guild chat, “Matcha, what kind of skill book is [Grip of the Firefox]?”
Matcha said nothing, and just showed everyone the stats ——
【Grip of the Firefox](SS Tier): Summons the claws of the Firefox, which results in a fiery claw that attacks a target 20 yards from the caster. The damage is dependent on the user’s agility and strength. Requirements: Level 65+ Assassin, 3 Charm
……
“Awesome……” Old K wryly smiled, “An Assassin skill book, what do you plan to do with it?!”
Matcha gave a dimpled smile, “No need for debate, Wolf already took the [10 Way Blade] skill book, so this [Grip of the Firefox] will go to our Vice Guild Master, Sister Yue Qing Qian. She can trade me a pair of Purple Tier armor boots for it….”
“Alright…..”
I asked, “Matcha, did the BOSS drop anything else?”
“Yup! Boss, there’s an armor for you!”
“What?”
Matcha then shared the stats of an equipment. It was something I desperately needed: a pair of crimson red leg guards to replace the embarrassing Gold Tier leg guards that I was still wearing —— 【Dragon Knight’s Leg Guards](Emperor Tier)!
