Chapter 729 – Arriving at Moon City (2/2)

I calmly replied, “Attacking Moon City.”

Xing Lie cursed under his breath, “D*mn…”

Li Mu wryly smiled. He probably had the same idea as me. As a man with incredible strength, who doesn’t want to make his mark in this chaotic world? You’d be lying if you said that you had never thought about it. Even someone like me, who spends his life carefreely and avoids conflict with others wants to one day become the king of the four seas. I’ve pretty much already set on that path.

Dancing Forest sat behind Li Mu and gripped his cloak. In a situation where the horse was galloping, Li Mu’s throat was being strangled by the cloak. His face was bright red as he begged against the wind, “Little Dance, softer….”

Dancing Forest smiled, “Guildmaster, actually, if we download their maps from the British server, that’s enough….”

I shook my head, “Not exactly. It’s just like our Chinese Server, not all of the maps are public knowledge. Think about it, Shattered Blade Canyon, Flaming Desert, Blood Demon Forest, Giant Demon Bamboo Forest and the other maps are known only to a few of the Chinese Server players, but the big maps don’t have any details or markings. All of the guilds have been hiding them away. Moon City is Britain and France’s territory, it’s definitely not a peaceful place. We can only go out and look for our own information on these maps.”

“Ok, that makes sense!”

……

As I hugged Wan Er and charged ahead, my Flying Scythe War Horse dashed through the Gale Forest. We stopped for a moment to figure out when the killer wind would pass through the Broken Blade Canyon. There was still ten minutes before it would pass through. The speed of the Steel Blade Horsemen was enough for all of us to pass through without a problem. And so, we pass through the canyon and entered the Bridge of Fate. The twenty mounts were moving at a good pace. It had only been thirty minutes since we had set off from Tian Ling City and we had already reached the Blood Demon Forest.

The light from spells burst throughout the Blood Demon Forest. There were already new monsters that were spawning there. Several of [Zhan Long]’s players were grinding there. After that, we passed through the Spirits of No Return Valley. The maps ahead of that were getting more and more faint. Finally, it was all covered in a thick fog. This meant that the maps further west hadn’t been scouted out before. We could still see the marking for Moon City on the bigger map. It was extremely far away. Even if we eventually have a country battle, just going to Moon City would be an expedition that would take a lot of energy.

“Wu wu….

The hooves of our horse’s broke through the silence of the forest. As we continued forward, the trees became more and more sparse and the climate became warmer. The fierce sun hung in the sky. Wan Er leaned into my chest and held her iron umbrella over her shoulder, and covered us from the sun light. Otherwise, as a moon elf, she would lose health under direct sunlight. Among our team, Yue Yao had also pulled out her iron umbrella. The sight of a young beautiful girl galloping across the desolate plains with an umbrella raised was also a wonderful sight in itself.

After a few more minutes, we entered into the Nameless Desert. It looked as though it had no end. This map was around twenty to forty times the size of Tian Ling City and it was named “the Desert”. It would’ve been a pretty good place to grind levels, unfortunately, not a single blade of grass could survive here. There wasn’t even an oasis here, much less monsters.

[Zhan Long]’s twenty horses galloped across the map, and left behind a cloud of dust. After fifty minutes of riding forward, we finally met the first monster in this desert. It was a Level 130 Thunder Tier Sand Scorpion. It was a low level monster, and was easily killed. It was close to an hour after we had entered this map and we had finally met the first monster. It was as though a male student had been locked away for three years in an all male school and he had seen the first girl on the street. How could he not be excited.

“Ji ji….”

The poor Sand Scorpion screech in pain as it was chopped to green pieces of meat. It didn’t drop anything except for twenty silvers. That ended up being picked up by Wang Jian that shameless b*st*rd. However, Star Scar seemed to praise his actions. I was starting to think that those two should just get married.

As we continued forward, day turned to night and the difference in temperature in the desert was just too great. During the day, you could cook an egg on the ground, but at night, it felt like our water would freeze. All of us were sneezing under the moonlight. After three hours of moving forward, the game finally turned back into daylight and we still hadn’t met a single player. Very rarely were there any Chinese players that would be this bored as to spend half a day trying to reach Moon City. After all, it could all go to waste when they die.

“Ji ji….”

We heard another screech. A monster had crawled out of the sand once again. This time it wasn’t a Sand Scorpion but rather a monster that let off a golden shine——Golden Scorpion. It was a Level 4 Hybrid Demon. Wow, this dessert actually has Hybrid Demons. Lord knows how many armies these Hybrid Demon Kings have!

“Kill!”

I pulled out my sword and charged forward. My first round of skills had sliced open the shell on the Golden Scorpion. Wang Jian, Matcha, and Meng Yao all went in for the kill. Wan Er leapt off the horse and activated [Blade of the Death God]+[Twin Blade Harmony]+[Chain Attack]. After a flurry of skills, the Golden Scorpion screeched and fell to the ground, dropping a golden helmet. Wan Er picked it up and similed, “A Valkyrie Tier helmet, Golden Helmet…. It’s a part of a set. It’s stats are pretty similar to the Black Flame Set!”

Li Mu was stunned, “Oh? Doesn’t that mean that we can get Golden Sets from killing these Golden Scorpions?”

“Well, let’s see what the drop rate is like!”

……

We continued trekking forward. There weren’t dense numbers of Golden Scorpions and it took a while to find a single one. Killing one didn’t get us many drops either. I imagine that in order to get one set of Golden Armor, it would take a lot more than just patience.

As we continued forward, we didn’t stop to admire the scene before us, after all, there wasn’t much to look at anyway.

At around 7:00 CST, we finally reached the end of the desert. As we continued forward, the Moon City zone appeared before us!

……

A thick forest was just ahead. I dashed forward on my horse with a smile, “Moon City, we’ve arrived!”

Matcha opened up her tool box and smiled, “Check out your tool boxes and calibrate your compasses. It’ll reconfigure our maps!”
