79 Mysterious Black Flame (1/2)
In the core area of Kuruk Fields, one could see groups of Grassland Lion Cubs every hundred meters or so. If a party’s positioning were slightly off, they would attract tens of Grassland Lion Cubs towards them. Moreover, at the large tree located in central region of the fields, there lived a Level 6 Elite Grassland Lion. That place could be said to be a forbidden area for Level 6 players.
However, inside this forbidden area, Gentle Snow’s party was constantly clearing the surrounding Level 6 Grassland Lion Cubs. They were clearing out an empty land for the purpose of hunting the Elite Grassland Lion. If ordinary players were to see their daring actions, they would definitely exclaim in astonishment.
A party waged battle against more than ten Grassland Lion Cubs.
Wearing a suit of azure armor, Gentle Snow valiantly battled. She was like a War Goddess, fighting one against ten thousand. A simple slash from her had sent three Grassland Lion Cubs flying. Simultaneously, she was dodging the claws of the remaining two Lion Cubs. If an expert were to see Gentle Snow battle, their eyes might have popped out of their sockets by now. Although her single slash seemed simple, she struck the vital points of all three Grassland Lion Cubs. Her dodges were even more accurate. It was like she possessed eyes at the back of her head. Without even turning her head, she was able to avoid the claw strikes that came from behind her.
On another side, the Flame Witch, Zhao Yueru, was like an artillery cannon. A single Frostflame Blast from her had taken away a third of the Grassland Lion Cub’s HP. Just when the Grassland Lion Cub switched Hatred and was about to rush at Zhao Yueru, the woman, herself, revealed a smile of disdain. As her mouth chanted the final verse of an incantation, her lily-white hands finished writing the incantation. Following which, a flame dragon appeared. The dragon spewed scorching hot flames, immediately decimating the Grassland Lion Cub rushing towards Zhao Yueru.
Zhao Yueru’s control over magic was extremely subtle, reaching its pinnacle. Her chanting and tracing were even more extraordinary. Normally, players would need 3 seconds to complete both actions, but Zhao Yueru only spent 1.6 seconds. Her Completion Rate was even at 86%, increasing the damage of Fire Dragon’s Roar by 120%. This single move instantly took away two-thirds of the Grassland Lion Cub’s HP.
A few moments later, more than ten Grassland Lion Cubs lay dead on the ground.
“Rest for a while and prepare to lure those two Elite Grassland Lions over. Shield Warrior, you’ll tank one, while I handle the other,” after tidying up the loot, Gentle Snow commanded as she looked towards the two patrolling Elite Grassland Lions in the distance.
Just as everyone was resting, Gentle Snow received a single message signed with the name of ‘Black Flame.’
Looking at this signature, Gentle Snow’s brows slightly wrinkled. Previously, she put out word that she wished to discuss matters of cooperation with the Black Flame Forger. It did not take long before she received a reply. Originally, she had felt rather joyous at the fact. However, a few moments later, she received another pile of similar messages. All of them claiming themselves to be the Black Flame Forger. However, after undergoing a simple questioning and identification, she discovered that all of these players were fakes. Every one of them wanted to swindle some money from her.
“Snow, is it another harassing message? Why not you just set it so you can only receive messages from your friends. That way, these messages won’t bother you anymore.” Zhao Yueru suggested after noticing Gentle Snow’s unnatural behavior.
Gentle Snow shook her head, saying in a serious tone, “I’m not acquainted with the Black Flame Forger. If the real Black Flame Forger were to contact us, and we weren’t able to receive his message, wouldn’t we have posted that thread for nothing? I’ll still take a look at it. In any case, it is very easy to determine the authenticity of the Black Flame Forger.”
However, Gentle Snow suddenly froze when she read the message.
That was because this message had very clearly proven the authenticity of this Black Flame. He wanted her to go to the Virtual Trade Center, and using the password he had given, enter a designated Trade Room to trade for the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design.
“It seems that I finally have some gains after waiting for so long.” Gentle Snow revealed a faint smile. From the contents of the message, she could clearly feel that this Black Flame was the real deal. Otherwise, he would not suggest trading the Forging Design at the Virtual Trade Center. After all, Black Flame impostors would not have a Forging Design.
“What is it? Did the real Black Flame contact you?” Looking at Gentle Snow nodding to her question, Zhao Yueru became immediately excited. Wishing to meet this mysterious Forger, she asked, “When do we meet him?”
Currently, the Black Flame Forger was known by everybody. He was even in possession of a Forging Design that could increase a Guild’s influence. After carrying out one questionable action after another, only now did they find out his true motive. Zhao Yueru couldn’t help but admit the brilliance of the Black Flame Forger’s methods.
