Chapter 417 – Internal Strife at [Hero’s Mound] (1/2)
Chapter 417 Internal Strife at [Hero’s Mound]
“Hong!”
My sword revolved crazily in the air and voluntarily returned to my hand after slashing the pack of wolves dead. I brandished both of my swords and slayed a few monsters. My Flaming Tiger God was also beside me, assisting me during the fight. The quest was progressing very smoothly.
Wan Er tilted her head and stared at me, “This……[Blade Spin] is your fourth advancement skill?”
“Yeah!”
“Normally, there should be 1-2 new skills, right?”
“Oh, there’s one more. It’s a defending type of skill!”
“Oh? Let me see……”
I roared deeply and Dou Qi was suffused through my whole body. The fiery red Dou Qi around me condensed into streaks of broken armor shields. They surrounded my body and formed a wall. This was the effect of [Wall of Dou Qi].
“Wow……” Stars filled Dong Cheng Yue’s eyes as she exclaimed, “Such a handsome [Wall of Dou Qi]!”
Wan Er also narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, “Yeah. Looks really handsome.. Seriously very handsome……”
I grinned, “The defense effect is also really strong. A Lv 10 [Wall of Dou Qi] can increase my physical and magical defense by 200%. As long as the wall’s durability isn’t completely wiped out, the skill will remain in effect.”
Wan Er stuck out her tongue, “Isn’t this too buggy…..”
Dong Cheng lightly smiled, “Well now, nobody can even dream of killing Brother Xiao Yao… that bastard’s attack power is way too high, even his defense power is high. On top that, he’s a thousand kill close combat specialist. With this kind of bastard, he’s practically a thorn in the eye for people like Fang Ge Que and Jian Feng Han….”
I hacked down a hyena and said, “It’s alright I guess. Before, it was just because I’m a close combat type that I was able to rival Fang Ge Que. Technically speaking, [Zhan Long] didn’t even actually take on [Legend]. Besides, once the Country Wars start, we’ll be on the same side, and we won’t be fighting among each other anymore.”
“Yea, that’ll be the best scenario, [Legend] isn’t a good enemy to provoke…” Dong Cheng cautioned.
Wan Er waved her Dragon’s Kiss dagger and smiled, “Hmph, let’s just say Fang Ge Que actually wants to kill Li Xiao Yao, I don’t care if it’s good or bad to provoke him, I’ll fight him even if I can’t defeat him!”
My heart warmed, “I’ll repay the little miss’ kindness of protection with my kidney.”
Wan Er giggled, “You pig head, hurry up and kill these monsters!”
“Alright….”
……
Not long after, we killed all 1000 hyenas. Wan Er pointed to the front, “Let’s continue in the shrubbery up front. There’s a monster called “Forest Tiger”, its a Lv85 Phantom Tier monster. We need to kill 1000 of them. Come on, we’re almost done!”
The three people rushed through the forest like a tornado. The firepower of three people and three pets had completely overpowered these Lv 85 Phantom Tier monsters. Especially after I had obtained the Magic Dragon’s Helmet and my [Wall of Dou Qi], my defense increased exponentially and I could basically block all of them without needing another Healer to heal me. My own [Heal] and 10% [Drain] was more than enough.
After a short period of time, 500 Forest Tigers fell at our feet. After we continued to go further into the forest, we noticed the light of flames and blades. Clearly, there were other players killing monsters here too.
Wan Er walked in front and reached out to brush away the leaves. Before us was a large group of people killing the Forest Tigers. With a single glance we could tell that they were all from [Hero’s Mound: Second Division]. There were around 300+ players, not that many. They seemed to be having a hard time against these monsters.
I followed close behind Wan Er and walked out of the forest. Slightly astonished, “Dang, so many people are here to steal monsters. The quota of our quest is pretty high. Wan Er, these are all [Hero’s Mound] people. Why don’t you tell them about our situation?”
Wan Er nodded, “Yup, I know….”
……
With a flash of Dragon’s Kiss, Wan Er stepped out of the forest and walked into the open area. Her clothes fluttering in the wind, she swept her cloak out from behind her, displaying her pretty face and mystifying body to the crowd. She stood in front of the crowd with one hand on her hip and one hand flicking her dagger, “Friends from [Hero’s Mound: Second Division], I’m here for a quest. I need to kill a large amount of Forest Tigers, so I politely ask that you move to another place. Otherwise, I don’t know how long it would take for me to get my fourth advancement….”
Among the crowd of people, a young Swordsman walked out, the emblem of a Vice Guild Master floating above his shoulder. He was completely clothed in a heroic armor and a longsword in his hand. He grinned, “Oh, so it was the main guild’s Vice Guild Master beauty Cang Tong. Seeing as it is a quest that you are doing, then we’ll just let you do your quest. After all, you are one of us!”
Wan Er nodded with a smile, “Ok! Thank you!”
However, the second division Guild Master glanced at me, “Huh? Isn’t this Xiao Yao Zi Zai? Aren’t you supposed to be in Ba Huang City? What are you doing in Fan Shu City….”
His glare carried hostility. I coughed, “It’s nothing. I’m just here to help Cang Tong with her quest. Is there a problem, Guild Master Ai Ye?”
Ai Ye, a Lv 77 Swordsman, the Guild Master of [Hero’s Mound: Second Division], can be considered an elite person. He doubtfully looked at me, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword. Then, he suddenly laughed, “To be honest, I’m really puzzled right now. Why would people like Cang Tong and Cang Yue, who have so much importance placed in them at [Hero’s Mound] and are treated like goddesses, always try to leave [Hero’s Mound]. Q-Sword has always doted on you guys, but all you want to do is leave. Do you know how much this has disappointed our players?”
“That’s enough!”
