Chapter 692 (2/2)
Beiming Xue was clad in dark leather armor and wielding the Dragonbone String. Her red-colored eyes looked incredibly attractive, and her attire clung tightly to her body. Her now fully formed b.r.e.a.s.t.s looked like they were struggling to escape their bindings, and her snow white legs swaying beneath the battle robes were dazzling to say the least.
Murong Mingyue's beauty was a completely different kind compared to Beiming Xue. She wore a priest robe and wielded a scepter. Her robe had a deep neckline that revealed the amazing globes swaying slightly beneath the thin layer of fabric. The sky-blue cloak fluttering behind her back seemed to imply her status of a super priest.
Moonlight Stone was dressed like what you would expect from a high-level mage. Her weapon was the Dragonbone Scepter, a 2-star Outstanding Earth-grade weapon if I remembered correctly. The girl had grown a lot compared to her old self. She was a stubborn girl who never stopped grinding to become the chief mage of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and thanks to her hard work she was slowly but surely shortening the gap between herself and top-tier mages like G.o.d's Dance and Luo River G.o.d of the Capital.
……
”Alright, everyone's here. Eve, I'm giving you the party leader so you can use Royal Road. The 50% boost to all stats should make us all a bit tankier.”
”Got it!”
He Yi activated her stratagem after I transferred the party leader position to her, and my max HP immediately increased by a whopping 50%. I then tossed a Bloodknight Card into the air and further increased my max HP by another 40%. To put it simply, my current HP was absolutely no joke.
Beiming Xue blinked curiously as she asked me, ”How much HP do you have now, big bro?”
I shot her a glance and smiled. ”135261.”
”What?” Moonlight Stone's mouth fell open. ”That's ridiculous! A warrior with 135k HP? You put Gui Guzi and Heaven's Rain to shame!”
I chuckled. ”Nah. If Little Gui had the Royal Road buff on him, his HP would be higher than mine. Oh right, what is your HP, Eve?”
He Yi glanced at me before answering, ”It's 104k, a bit lower than yours. Your Armored Ice Qilin Horse is just too good…”
”Mn, it's still over 100k, so that's great. Alright, it's time to depart! We ain't going back to Sky City until our bags are full of treasures, everyone!”
”Let's go!”
And so, we excitedly embarked on the journey to Dragonlight Canyon, a treasure hunt with no compet.i.tors, because we were the only ones with the treasure map. This meant that the mobs, the boss, the loot, everything was ours to claim. How amazing was that?
……
When we pa.s.sed through the Cyan Tiger Forest, we took a moment to reminisce. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the Cyan Battle Tiger one of the symbols of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and the reason we were undefeated in the war of cavalry. It was a milestone both literally and metaphorically.
We couldn't be satisfied with just the Cyan Battle Tigers, however. They weren't Level 150 mounts, so they couldn't be considered top-tier, and even if they had been, it would only be a matter of time before they became outdated. To compete against the other guilds, we had to always strive to obtain better mounts that could be ma.s.s-farmed for everyone.
The fact that Warsky Alliance was ranked second in the CGL Guild Ranking proved that their ambition to replace Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls as the strongest guild of Sky City had never vanished. Warsky was a good person, but I had no doubt that he would show up and take Dark Moon City away from us the moment we became weak.
Every city was the foundation of a super guild. The reason we were able to recruit many high-level players was because we possessed some of the strongest players and the highest-ranked city in the entire world. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the prestige we currently enjoyed was all thanks to Dark Moon City.
……
On the way, the Phantom Wolf King and I acted as the point of the party and killed all the mobs who were blocking our way. If the Armored Ice Qilin Horse was swift and powerful, then the Phantom Wolf King was a bolt of lightning that tore apart everything in its path. It easily shredded the Level 160 Cyan Battle Tigers to pieces. Beiming Xue and Moonlight Stone were ranged attackers, so they helped to contribute some DPS. He Yi and Murong Mingyue didn't need to do anything.
About one and a half hours later, we arrived at an empty, desolate region. There were high-level Night Creatures such as Graveyard Devil Mockers, Undead Knights, Corpse Eaters and so on all over the place. The Level 175 ancient Undead Knights especially were so powerful that even I had problems soloing them myself. It was no wonder that no other player had ventured into this place.
It wasn't like they didn't try, mind you. In fact, we saw a couple of 50-man parties attempting to kill a couple of stray Level 175 mobs outside the edge of the forest. However, a single charge from the Undead Knight had resulted in the death of a couple or archers and mages, and these people quickly wised up and retreated elsewhere. This map was just beyond their current capabilities right now.
Our party was unperturbed, of course. The average level of our party was above 150, and everyone was armed to the teeth in excellent equipment. These Level 175 ancient mobs just couldn't pose a threat to us.
We soon arrived at the foot of a black mountain range. The entrance was shrouded by smoky darkness that blocked our entry.
I took out the treasure map and used it!
Swhoos.h.!.+
The map transformed into a ray of light and activated a magical formation in front of us. It was as if we had opened a door to another world.
