Chapter 586: Corrosive Worm (2/2)
”I was afraid that you might invite all the guys and girls of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls to that map, duh. It can accommodate 5 to 10 people at most. With our current DPS, we should have no problems grinding that location!”
”Alright then. Let’s head over first and decide what to do later. Yiyi, you be the party leader!”
”Mn!”
After Lin Yixin was promoted to the party leader, she immediately activated her Famous General Skill. Bombshell had already reached its cap some time ago, but an 80% boost to all stats was still very impressive, especially for me. My base Attack was 6210 after the boost, and my real attack power was way higher than that. My HP was over 53k, and my base Defense was 7317. I shouldn’t have any problem grinding Level 160 shadow-rank mobs now.
……
After arriving at the foot of Dragonbone Mountain Range, Lin Yixin and I automatically hid our ID and equipment glow, as if in tacit agreement. This way, most people would think that we were just normal players with slightly unusual equipment. Besides that, I pulled up my Soul Suppressing Cloak to cover my face and my blood-red eyes. Unfortunately, the characteristics of an Asura King were very identifiable.
Lin Yixin also covered her pretty face so that people wouldn’t know that she was the Fruit Knife Goddess. There were way too many players in that area, and neither of us wanted to deal with a mob asking to take photos or make memories with her.
We didn’t go far before a Level 117 barbarian magic knight sitting atop a wild boar rode up to us and asked, ”Hey there, friends! Are you interested in forming a party and hunting the Level 127 Hill Boars halfway up the mountain range? I guarantee that the experience is great, and you’ll be able to reach Level 130 soon!”
I couldn’t help but think to myself. I’m Level 142 already, bro. Or are you suggesting I level back to 130?
Lin Yixin giggled once before replying in a sweet voice, ”Thank you for the offer, but big bro and I are gathering herbs in the mountain today, so…”
”Is that so?” It would seem that the barbarian magic knight wasn’t especially bright. ”Then I’ll leave you to be.”
I took the opportunity to put an arm on my “little sister’s” shoulder. ”Yo, my good sister…”
”Screw you!”
Lin Yixin immediately bumped me with her shoulder. ”Why the hell are you speaking like Simon Qing?”
”Nonsense. Come on, let’s go to that map before anyone else stops us again!”
”Mn!”
……
We ran along a mountain for almost half an hour straight before we finally reached an area somewhat close to the mountaintop. The mobs here were all shadow-rank and above Level 145. They offered more experience and loot, but their power was greater as well. It was basically inaccessible to most players below Level 125.
”We’re almost there…”
Lin Yixin smiled and pointed to the front. ”There, that valley entrance over there!”
”Wawa, quest, quest!” I gripped my Cyan Netherworld Sword and broke into a mad run.
When I reached the small hill though, I was shocked by what I saw. The huge valley was filled with undead creatures of varying sizes, although the majority of them were Corrosive Worms. These strange creatures almost looked like aliens from outer space with their three legs and unusual mandibles. They had incredible movement speed, and when they opened their mouth completely, it was bigger than even their own head. Speaking of their head, it was triangular in shape, like cobras’. It was bound to be a deadly mob, to say the least!
I moved closer to a Corrosive Worm and waved my hand. Its stats screen immediately appeared in front of me—
Corrosive Worm (Ancient)
Level: 160
Attack: 2100~2550
Defense: 2750
HP: 190000
Skill: Swallow, Rend, Corrosive Poison
Introduction: A creature of the purgatory. The Corrosive Worms are born from dead bodies, and they possess incredibly sharp fangs. They are the central force of the Night Creature Legion, and they group in shockingly large numbers.
……
I looked up. The Corrosive Worms were as numerous as the sea, but a kind of disgusting flying insect was pooping even more Corrosive Worms, Corpse Eaters, Cave Devils, and other monsters that were flying in the sky. It looked like the Night Creatures were planning an assault and exploiting the difficult terrain of the mountaintop to their advantage. These monsters were certainly growing smarter and smarter each day. Still, this amount of worms was… Is Lin Yixin serious? Forget five to ten people, I think this sea of worms can flood over even a thousand-man party like nothing.
”Hey, are you done looking? We should accept the quest first before we grind the mobs,” Lin Yixin said.
”Okay. Where’s the NPC?”
”Over there!”
