Chapter 22: Spawn Camping (1/2)
“3!”
I held up three fingers. Strictly speaking, three finger bones with flesh and blood around them.
Gui Guzi stared at the great enemy ahead. Once revived, the corpse would immediately stand up. Wind Fantasy was standing nonchalantly ten meters away as though he was waiting for us to come back to life. He did not seem to care about two of us Night Creatures teaming up.
“2!”
I kept calm and prepared to press the revive button.
“1!”
“Revive!”
Gui Guzi was a kind person to revive with me. The two of us downed a health potion almost in unison and charged from different directions toward Wind Fantasy!
”Ha...?”
Wind Fantasy seemed to laugh. Suddenly, he charged in a straight line, his white robes flapping in the air, his sword shifting with intimidating light. He first struck at Gui Guzi!
”Hmph, fighting me? Come—haah!”
Gui Guzi was a proud person and did not retreat from the attack.
Wind Fantasy was daring, using a feint of the sword to make Gui Guzi attack. Then he turned to the side, sliding along the other's spear’s edge, his sharp sword swiping past Gui Guzi’s neck in an instant. His moves were effortless and flowed like moves of a master.
Crack!
The sword flashing with silver light cut across Gui Guzi's neck. A large damage number arose—558!
A fatal blow!
Bam!
Gui Guzi knelt on the ground with a dazed expression. He died again!
At the same time, before Wind Fantasy could turn around, my killing intent–filled Slayer Slash came crashing down. I was like a cheetah, pouncing at my prey.
Wind Fantasy was overwhelmed and could only be hit. Slayer Slash hit him square on the shoulder.
Puchi!
Blood flew, and stained the white battle robes red. Before he could recover, I followed up. My longsword slashed out, its edge burrowing deep into Wind Fantasy’s chest, like a venomous snake!
327!
221!
Two successive attacks that used my fluid movements and attack speed to their fullest.
Wind Fantasy's HP bar was emptied. He slowly fell down and lost a level.
……
”Hmph, motherfucker... such a painful death for me!”
Gui Guzi revived again. He walked forward and kicked Wind Fantasy's corpse hard. He said, still wishing to continue, ”Sand, let's stay by his corpse. This person ranks first in Floating Ice City, and is still first after dropping a level. Let's camp him for a day and night, and see if he can still remain number one!”
I laughed, and patted his shoulder. ”You stay, I’m going to level up. Also, even if you stay by his corpse, I can’t guarantee that you’ll able to kill him ...”
I was not being modest. Just now, working together with Gui Guzi, we barely managed to kill this person. If this was a solo battle, I feared my chance of victory was less than 50%!
Looking at Sentinel Leader Fark's corpse, Gui Guzi said, ”This non-boss NPC will only be revived after twenty-four hours. We definitely won’t receive any quests today.”
”Really?”
I smiled slightly and did not say anything. I turned around and returned to Frost Mound. I replenished my potions, repaired my equipment, and trodded along the path to the forest
In any case, I wanted to get to Level 25 and then see. If I equipped the Weeping Fire Blade and the Cyanfire Cloak, I believed that I would be able to directly match Wind Fantasy.
I found a leveling ground on the perimeter of the graveyard. Level 25 Spiky Skeletons. Their attack power wasn’t high, but they gave good experience. With no quests to take, I could use this place to grind a bit.
Cluck cluck...
A neutral creature appeared ahead of me—Wild Chicken. A Level 20 Wild Chicken with low attack power and low HP. I killed it in two blows. Its corpse fell to the ground. I walked forward and used Death Plunder!
