Who would've thought that my moment on the number one spot of Floating Ice City's Heavenly Ranking would only last for three seconds? This is ridiculous!
My soul appeared in a nearby graveyard. It would take only twenty minutes to travel back to Reflection Hills, but I didn't dare to revive immediately because Roaming Dragon was sure to camp my corpse. But if I chose to revive inside the city, then the punishment would be three levels instead of one. That was completely unacceptable.
Left with no choice, I chose to revive where my corpse was. I could use Earth Escape the moment I resurrected. There was no way Roaming Dragon's band could maintain constant twenty-four-hour vigilance without slipping up here and there. One instant of negligence and I would be able to revive and make my escape!
I returned to Reflection Hills as a soul, and it was just as I thought. Roaming Dragon was standing guard next to my body, and Coldmoon Rose was holding her bow and looking left and right. If I tried to revive now, she would definitely Volley me out of the ground. Her control and accuracy were excellent, and she had already caught me once while I was lurking beneath the boss.
She was also Roaming Dragon's woman. What a waste of such a good body!
……
Anyway, they were still on their guard. I had to be patient and wait for my opportunity!
”f.u.c.k!”
Roaming Dragon swore like a sailor as he ran rings around my corpse. He would've strung my corpse into the air and whipped it if the game would allow it. Unfortunately for him, Heavenblessed didn't have such a ridiculous setting, so a player's corpse was inviolable.
Coldmoon Rose consoled him, ”Calm down, our people are on their way already. They'll show up in at most half an hour. Once we have the entire map under lockdown, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand will not escape our grasp!”
Roaming Dragon let out a cold snort and sat down on a nearby rock. He still looked resentful and angry.
Coldmoon Rose swayed her hips and sat down gently on his thighs. Then, she smiled seductively. ”Don't be angry, okay? Sometimes you win and sometimes you don't. Plus, you still killed him in the end, didn't you?”
Roaming Dragon finally exhaled, but his eyes were still bitter. ”I wonder what were the two items dropped by the boss. Dammit, he took both of them! But… I don't think I saw Hero's Token there!”
”That's right, the boss didn't drop a Hero's Token, so calm down, okay?”
Coldmoon Rose wrapped her arms around Roaming Dragon's neck and rubbed her b.r.e.a.s.t.s against his arm. She really was a seductive and lecherous woman.
But this was the moment I was waiting for!
Their time together was their most distracted moment and my best chance to make my escape!
Moreover, the World of Ice and Snow had run its full course. If I didn't run now, I wouldn't have a better opportunity than this!
Swhoos.h.!.+
I revived and consumed a health potion to restore myself to full health immediately. Then, I immediately ran toward the exit.
”He revived, he revived!”
An archer shouted before firing Volley at me. None of his arrows managed to hit me, but it was such a hasty and uncoordinated attempt that I didn't dare to slip underground either.
Roaming Dragon grabbed his sword and charged me. Coldmoon Rose also grabbed her bow and darted between the trees like a speedy cheetah!
I ran like my life depended on it, throwing all caution to the wind.
Suddenly, Roaming Dragon released his own pet. It was a blood-red Level 27 Wildfire Greedy Wolf, and it wasn't even fully mature yet.
I laughed on the inside and set loose my own Dark Wasp. Although it had dropped a couple of levels, it was still very powerful.
The Dark Wasp buzzed toward the Wildfire Greedy Wolf and gave it a Flurry to the face. The attack actually one-shot Roaming Dragon's pet.
Panicking, it took three full rounds from the archers, Roaming Dragon and Coldmoon Rose to finally take down the Dark Wasp. However, my pet managed to kill two of the archers in the process, meaning that only six people were left in their group.
I couldn't help but swear inside my head as I tried to shake off the six-man group behind me. Coldmoon Rose and Roaming Dragon's combat skills might not be anything special, but their tracking skills were downright legendary!
While I was ahead, I took the momentary respite to check the equipment I had gotten from the boss. The first item was a pair of metal armor war boots. They were well-forged, well-designed and the b.l.o.o.d.y runes floating near the edges looked very special. I practically salivated when I saw their stats.
Stormy War Boots (Silver-grade)
Defense: 55
Strength: +18
Stamina: +15
Pa.s.sive: Increases user's movement speed by 0.5%
Level Requirement: 45
……
These Silver grade metal armor boots are amazing! They had higher Defense than even my Dark Steel-grade chest armor, but what really attracted my eyeb.a.l.l.s were the bonuses, 18 Strength and 15 Stamina! Every level-up, player would get 5 stats points to allocate, and this pair of boots gave 33. They basically gave its wearer 6 levels worth of stats! Saying they were amazing would be a severe understatement!
Even better, they gave the wearer 0.5% movement speed. It was a small boost, but it wasn't negligible. For example, if I was wearing this pair of boots now it would only be a matter of time before I outran my pursuers.
Very pleased with my first finding, I put the Stormy War Boots back into the bag and checked out my next loot. It was a l.u.s.trous sword with cryptic runes floating above its blade. It had a grave, no-nonsense design, and it was clearly made for slaughter!
I waved my hands and brought up the sword's stats. My mind immediately went blank.
Ghost Ice Soul (Gold-grade)
Attack: 115~150
Strength: +25
Stamina: +20
Pa.s.sive: Increases user's ice-based attacks by 7%
Level Requirement: 50
……
A Gold-grade weapon! An actual Gold-grade weapon!
I felt like my heart was about to leap out of my throat. At this stage of the game, this weapon was practically a Divine Armament. Not only was its Attack four times greater than my Weeping Fire Blade's, it also gave its user 45 stat points. Moreover, it boosted power of any ice-based attacks by a whooping 7%. This item alone could turn an average player into a top-tier pro!
