Chapter 526: Pool of Life (2/2)
”In that case, let’s move out, find the boss and find the entrance to the next floor as soon as possible!”
”Okay!”
……
Several thousand Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players flooded into the Wood Dragon Domain, but our guild was hardly the only guild who cleared out an entrance and made it inside. It wouldn’t be long before this place was flooded with players as well.
I checked the minimap while walking in front of my party. The Wood Dragon Domain was ridiculously vast with many winding paths that seemed to stretch endlessly toward the horizon. No wonder it was praised as one of the biggest maps in all the servers!
”Hey, look! Is it just me, or is there something shiny over there?” Beiming Xue pointed to the distance suddenly.
When Gui Guzi and I looked at the direction she was pointing, our minds suddenly grinded to a halt. ”That’s… the shine of gold… Gold!”
We instantly threw all caution to the wind and ran toward the gold with everything we got.
Behind us, He Yi stomped her feet in anger. ”Come back, you idiots! It’s most likely a trap!”
In fact, Gui Guzi and I weren’t the only ones who lost our minds when we saw the gold. Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits and a couple others were just a few steps behind us. But what could we do except obey our desires? It was all poverty’s fault!
But when we finally entered the small valley, we quickly realized that the ”gold” wasn’t gold at all. It was just a pile of golden-colored rocks!
Rustle rustle rustle…
The earth beneath our feet started rumbling, and small bumps started poppin all around. Why do I feel like I’ve seen this before?
The next moment, all our faces turned as white as paper. They were Wood Porcupines!
Crack crack crack…
Hundreds of Wood Porcupines surrounded us in an instant, and grayish despair colored Chaos Moon’s complexion. ”Oh shit, we’re all going to die…”
I nodded grimly. ”Yep, it’s GG!”
However, Gui Guzi cried out, ”Boss Broken Halberd, look! These Wood Porcupines don't have Spike Rain! It’s a shittier version that can’t use an AoE skill!”
I scanned a nearby Wood Porcupine immediately, and it was exactly as Gui Guzi said. Unlike the freaks that gave us one hell of a time at the entrance earlier, these Wood Porcupines were close-range fighters without an AoE skill. They were still Level 150 shadow-rank mobs, but they were far, far easier to deal with. I immediately raised my sword and declared, ”Alright, let’s grind here until someone finds the boss. Don’t worry, the news will spread automatically, no matter who finds the boss first!”
Our two-thousand-man party started grinding in this valley just like that. Without their ridiculously broken AoE skill, the Wood Porcupines weren’t nearly as threatening as before. At the very least, they weren’t able to give Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls too much trouble.
……
Chiang chiang chiang!
I slashed a Wood Porcupine in the head and used War Crush. Occasionally, Silver Dragon Storm would trigger and howl across the battlefield. With equipment like this, I could hold back and still become the MVP and the highest contributor in the guild. It wasn’t even a challenge...
Beep!
It was at this moment Lin Yixin sent me a message: ”Did you locate the boss of the Wood Dragon Domain yet?”
”Nope. What about you guys?”
”Same.”
”Well, let’s continue whatever we’re doing then.”
”Mn!”
It looked like the boss of this floor was very well hidden. Oh well, the Wood Porcupines were worth a lot of experience and loot anyway. It wasn’t a waste of time as long as we were getting something out of this.
Thump thump thump...
When I climbed up a hill and stood at the top, I was shocked to find a giant basin jampacked with Level 150 Wood Porcupines in it. This was the perfect opportunity to gain some levels!
”Someone, come over here and guard the entrance! Gui Guzi, form a party and push into the basin…”
”Ohh!”
I was already running toward the Wood Porcupines while I gave the order. The moment I entered within range, I immediately used War Crush and Burning Blade Slash to reduce the health of all the mobs in front of me to half health. I had changed my stratagem to Martial God because it was the more useful skill in PvE.
While Gui Guzi and a bunch of fighters were fighting at the frontlines, our ranged players like Beiming Xue and Moonlight Stone were dishing out Spiraling Arrow Blades and Galaxy Storms from the back as well. He Yi’s Firelight Mouse also dealt great DPS in this battle. Of course, my Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf was tearing into the mobs as well.
Everyone’s experience bar filled up fairly quickly as the Wood Porcupines kept falling one after another. Even better, the mobs dropped Level 125 equipment that almost all our high-level players could equip immediately. Plenty of them were of Outstanding quality as well.
A long time later, when I cut open the head of a Wood Porcupine, a magic scroll suddenly dropped on the ground. I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up the cyan-colored scroll and read its description—
