Chapter 221: Frost Ring (1/2)
Very good, I got 5 Turtle Meat in one go. In that case, I wouldn’t waste too much time around Dragonfall Lake farming Turtle Meat.
Experience gained from a Level 75 mob was still alright and it was fairly easy to kill. The main point of completing this quest was to obtain a Devil Sealing Tower Proof of Trial and 10 Rank 8 Health Potions. Instantly recovering 2500 or so HP was definitely amazing!
……
At a tranquil lakeshore overgrown with weeds was an undead swordsman, continuously cutting down nearby Frost Turtles, barely pausing at all.
After a while, I had a strange inkling that I had forgotten something. Oh right, why not summon Xinran to grind her some levels?
I stood in place and opened my palm. Magic light flashed and a blood-red magic formation appeared on the ground in front of me. I shouted, “Xinran, come on out!”
Swhoosh!
The ground nearby slightly trembled alongside a surging bloody light. An arm covered in steel scale armor emerged from the black hole at the center of the magic formation. A visibly petite body then jumped out and steadily landed on the grass with a crash. I nearly couldn’t see her.
Ding~!
System Notice: After training in the Netherworld, your pet “Xinran” has gained Talent +7, Comprehension +5, Intimacy +0, and obtained the Goldscale Armor Set due to successfully killing the Netherword’s Land-traversing Dragon!
……
I was instantly stunned. Was it still that little skeleton Xinran who stood before me right now? Almost every part of its body was covered in luminous fish scale armor. The golden helmet completely covered the face, making it appear indistinct. I didn’t know if it still looked like a little skeleton. It held a blood-red spear in one hand and a silver cape on its back that slightly fluttered to the lake’s cool breeze, making her look mighty and powerful.
Xinran (Unknown)
Level: 65
HP: 6500
Attack: 850~1200
Defense: 900
Magic Resist: 750
Skills: ???
Introduction: An unusual creature that possesses strong domain powers.
……
At the end of my shock, I checked Xinran’s stats and was stunned once more. How powerful is she?! Her Attack was even higher than mine, and yet her Defense and Magic Resist weren’t particularly inferior. While I couldn’t see her skills, I was sure they wouldn’t be too shabby either. Her HP was also at 6500. This little skeleton seemed to have passed me in strength already.
What has it been doing these days in the Netherworld? How was it leveling so fast? Her equipment upgrades were even faster. Seems like her journey in the Netherworld is all smooth sailing, huh.
I was speechless. This humanoid pet was now stronger than I was.
These thoughts churned in my head but then I realized that the little skeleton had never really listened to me anyway, unless it wanted to do something anyway.
Forget it, let’s try!
I pointed at a nearby Frost Turtle. “Xinran, kill it!”
Whoosh...
The little skeleton turned its head and observed me with what seemed to be a hint of disdain. In the next second however, it charged at the Frost Turtle with its spear!
Bang!
The spear glowed with starry light. A giant black hole condensed out of the spear’s edge and smashed itself on the Frost Turtle, instantly eliciting a groan.
Beep!
Combat Log: Your pet “Xinran” used “Soul Devouring Spear”, dealing 4471 damage to Frost Turtle!
……
The tip of the spear quivered as Xinran followed up with another thrust!
2649!
She killed the Frost Turtle in two hits...
An instant kill too!
I watched on, astonished. When did my little skeleton become this powerful? Its DPS was so great that it could toss me a few streets away!
After killing the Frost Turtle, the little skeleton turned around. It slammed the spear on the ground with its other hand on its hip, the cape behind it fluttering with the wind. It glanced my way, as if asking me “Am I cool or what?”
I was a bit speechless when I saw the little skeleton’s proud appearance. Yes, it was powerful enough but I didn’t know if it would continue to obey my orders. If the little skeleton was as obedient as the Dark Wasp, then my overall strength had definitely shot up. After all, this little skeleton’s current stats were too amazing. Having it with me was not much different than having Fruit Knife Goddess Lin Yixin by my side. In fact, it was probably even stronger than that!
I pointed at another Frost Turtle nearby and gave out my second command. “Xinran, go deal with that one too!”
The little skeleton snorted, lifted its spear, and charged at the second Frost Turtle. It used the same combo—Soul Devouring Spear and basic attack. Another instant kill!
