The city gate was about 20 meters tall, and the city wall was about 15 meters tall. Both sides were built against the mountains, and the stones used to build the city were all famous mountains in Raging Water City. The Diamond Blackstone on Heavenly Gem Mountain, because its quality could be compared to steel, was also called Iron Wall City or Black Water City. This was the only place that players could enter and leave the Holy City. It was also a holy land for players.
I stood below and looked at the two large words "Furious Water" on the city gate. I couldn't help but feel impressed. I really didn't know how the Ice Snow Alliance managed to take down the city.
Compared to most players, the monsters here were still a little higher.
Raging Water City was now a paradise for high-level players. It was rare to see players below Level 30 on the streets of Raging Water City. No wonder if the players were asked which sect was the number one sect, the answer would definitely be Ice Snow and not the World Guild, which had the most people. Therefore, the arrogant World Association and the Ice and Snow Association had always had conflicts, but the result was that the World Association, which had more people, would lose.
They had just left the back gate of Furious Water, which was the only avenue leading to the Holy City. I saw two groups of people fighting. There were about 20 to 30 people. I've seen the leader before. He's Nan Di from the World Association. He's the Red Phoenix's bodyguard! Back then, because their names were special, I remembered them immediately.
"You Ice Snow Alliance, how dare you not let me go over! "Be careful, our World Association will eat you up one day," Nan Di said arrogantly, not afraid of being in other people's territory at all.
"The World Association, my ass! How about our Ice and Snow doesn't let them pass today!”After the leader finished speaking, he looked at the other party smugly.
"Big brother! "It seems like Bing Wang didn't want us to block the road to the Celestial Capital. If he finds out that we've dealt with the World Guild like this…" another player said.
"What do you know? I'm doing this for our Bing Xue. Don't worry! The Wind God will shine on us!"
"Alright! Bullying our World Association, brothers, go!”After Nan finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed forward.
Haha! Seeing the two gangs fighting, the players around them also watched in groups of two or three. I wasn't interested in this. Looking at the magic and battle aura flying everywhere, it seemed that both sides 'levels weren't low this time.
After leaving the canyon, they gradually left Raging Water City. The surrounding players were all fighting monsters together, but most of them were from the Snow Alliance. Raging Water City was 10 miles away from the Holy City, so there was no Teleportation Circle. They could only walk through Raging Water City.
The monsters on the road gradually became more powerful. There was a Level 50 Poisonous Spider, a Level 48 Forest Tree Monster, a leopard whose level could not be determined, and a Gryphon flying in the sky. Fortunately, they appeared alone.
After killing one Griffin, he had wasted more than 10 Red. Although I could fight these monsters, my equipment wasn't in good condition. Moreover, I wasn't here to fight monsters to level up. It was more important to go to the Holy City.
The road was very deserted. It seemed that there were not many people who wanted to go to the Holy City like me. As they walked, they heard the sound of fighting in front of them again. I walked quickly. He went around the bushes and saw a player fighting a giant ape in the weeds that were half the height of a person. He used a Blade Master's skill. His attack was very unique. It was still the Blade Master's common skill, Chain Movement, but it was so smooth on him. Now, he only used weak point attacks that could be learned at level 20. He didn't use Sword Aura Slash or combo skills. I used Check to see his status.
[Name: Broken Thorn, Level: 35, Class: Swordsman. I looked at his equipment again. Compared to my current set of equipment, it was much inferior. His level was also low, but it seemed that fighting monsters was not as difficult as I had just now.
This piqued my curiosity. Could it be that his attributes are more powerful than mine? That didn't seem possible! His speed was not very fast, but he used his agile footsteps to dodge most of the ape's attacks. Every sword strike accurately pierced the ape's heart.
What a powerful operation. He was simply a rare talent.
"Hello!" After he finished cleaning up, I walked up and quickly said.
He raised his head and said coldly,""Hello! What's the matter?"
"Oh! It was like this! I want to form a team with you, can I?"
" I'm used to being alone," he said lightly. Then, he ignored me and focused on checking the few copper coins on the ground. It seemed that his luck was not high. Such a high-level monster did not drop a single piece of equipment.
"There's no need to keep people a thousand miles away! Maybe we can be friends!”I still didn't give up. His mechanics were so strong that he couldn't be compared to the current number one swordsman, Love Kill. If he had good equipment, he would definitely be a good helper on the battlefield.
"What I like is loneliness. I don't…don't need friends!”As he said this, he paused for a moment, stood up, and went to look for his next target.
Hehe! What a stubborn character! But I like it. I slowly followed behind him, but he ignored me.
However, when he was fighting the monster, my Ice Ball would also help him fight the monster. Although my Water Magic wasn't very strong, it was quite effective in slowing down the monster. Since we weren't in a party, every time the monster was about to die, I would quickly stop attacking and not steal his EXP.
He followed me, but his cold gaze was gone, replaced by a puzzled expression. With me helping him whenever he fought monsters, we just ignored each other and advanced forward.
I'm waiting, waiting to see who can't stand it first. This could be considered a gamble. However, things didn't seem to develop as I had expected. This cold fellow didn't seem to be moved by my sincerity. He left the main road to the Holy City and quickly walked to the side.
If they left the main road, the monsters they would encounter would be even more powerful. He's making a big mistake trying to get rid of me like this. I hurriedly followed.
The three forest giants surrounded him. These things had a certain resistance to water magic.
I had no choice but to use my current Fireball spell, the Swift Sky Fireball spell. A red ball of flame surrounded by blue flames hit the giant's body. Although it was still a Level-1 spell, its power was slightly stronger than a Level-5 Fireball. Originally, if Fireball was Level 5, it could be upgraded to Level 1 Tri-Taste Fireball. The Level 1 Three Fireball Technique was as powerful as the Level 3 Fireball Technique.
Originally, I could only level up a skill after reaching level 5 in the guild. However, not only did I have Fireball, but I also had Sky-Piercing Fireball. All of my fire-type spells had become level 1 Sky-Piercing. The attack landed on the giant's body, and its HP dropped by more than 600. Under the attacks of the three giants, Broken Stab could attack and defend at the same time. Each sword could deal 200 to 300 damage to the weak point.
Looking at the way they fought the monsters, they thought that the two of them had a tacit understanding. After the last giant was destroyed, he finally raised his head and carefully observed me.
"You are very strong!" I returned to being indifferent. "I wonder why you're pestering me like this?”
Naturally, don't you know how to check? I mumbled. "I told you, I just want to be friends with you!”
"I also said that I don't need friends!”
I'm afraid I'm going to be awkward again. "Alright, alright! Since you don't need friends, let's make a deal!”
"What deal?" He asked faintly, as if he was very helpless.
"I want to go to the Holy City once. I see that your strength is not bad. If we team up, I'll have an additional guarantee!”Looking at his simple equipment, he said,"All the equipment and money obtained from killing monsters on the way will belong to you. Then, when we reach the place, we will give you a sum of money. What do you think?"
He extended two fingers.
"Alright, deal!" Although 200 gold coins is not a small amount, it is not a big amount to me now!
"What level are you now?" Broken Thorn asked.
“40”
"A Level 40 Mage, you're really strong! Can you go somewhere with me before we go?”He looked like he rarely asked for help as he lowered his head and asked me.
"Of course!" Hehe! I still want to pull him into our Brotherhood Alliance.
The place he wanted to go to was the high mountain next to us. I was quite familiar with him. It turned out that his favorite thing was to do missions. He had already gone to the Holy City twice by himself. He had accepted a mission with a minister to obtain a stone that the demon beasts on Tiger Subdue Mountain were guarding. This was also the first mission issued by the Holy City.
We formed a team and avoided the monsters as much as possible on the way up the mountain. He obviously didn't have a lot of potions, so I gave him some of my excess. It's considered that we're a little familiar with each other. I couldn't help but ask," Broken Stab, although you're very skilled, why didn't you use a more advanced skill? Wouldn't that hurt more and be easier? It was better than having a weak point damage!”
" The reason is simple. I don't have money."
This is something I never expected. "I grew up in an orphanage. I played this game to have food to eat. I don't know which internet cafe I'll go to tomorrow. You must have never experienced this before, right?"
I couldn't help but be shocked. No wonder he was so cold. It was because more people treated him coldly first! That was why he was so proud and cold.
"My name is Broken Thorn, which means a broken thorn. Pride is my personality, coldness is my heart. I only belong to myself, and my world is only in my own hands!”He said quietly.
I didn't expect him to say that. Silence was a kind of waiting, and silence was a kind of loneliness. Don't need to recall the past, let it all go like smoke? This was the meaning of the name I thought of at first, but I definitely can't say it like that now. "I, I'm called Ruyan Silence. I was pulled into this game by a friend. I don't have any big goals, I just want to earn money! Nice to meet you!" I thought about it a lot, but I didn't expect to say such words. Because he touched me too much. I have never experienced such a difficult life before. I was deeply shocked.
Broken Thorn didn't answer my question. "Look, it should be the one in front!”
Through the gaps between the trees, we saw an ancient pine tree on the flat ground above. The stones beside it were in the shape of flowers, and there was a faint brilliance inside. The so-called stone must be here. I took a closer look, but there was not a single monster around. It was very abnormal! Normally, places with treasures like this would be guarded by monsters.
The two of us slowly approached the big pine tree. 10 meters, 5 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter, and there was still no movement? The two of us could clearly see the small golden stone inside the lotus-shaped stone. It was shining.
"Be careful!" Broken Spike cried out, and the two of us quickly dodged. A ball of black lightning flew towards the place where we were just now. What a beautiful black panther. I saw this monster clearly. It was pure black in color and had streamlined muscles that reflected the sunlight. This leopard had three eyes, and the eye on its forehead was emitting a demonic purple light.
With a swoosh, it attacked me again. Its claws took out 700 HP from me, but I only had 800 HP, which was more than 300 HP higher than other people of the same level. If it were any other Level 40 Mage, it would be killed in a single hit. What a powerful monster.
I quickly retreated to the side, drank a cup of Super Red, and used my energy shield. It was safest in the light blue gas. Broken Stab failed to block the attack for a moment. His technique had no chance to be used against such a fast monster. I quickly went up and replaced Broken Stab.
What kind of stupid quest was it that had such a powerful monster guarding it? I hurriedly said,"I'll take care of this, hurry up and get that stone."
He was obviously depressed. Looking at my determined gaze, he quickly ran towards the lotus flower. The three-eyed panther attacked again. I first used a rapid fire sea. At this speed, only a large-scale magic attack could reach me.
-220,-240, haha! This blue energy shield was so strong that its defense had increased by more than three to four times. I desperately drank Super Red and was finally able to recover. It was also slowly losing HP in the sea of fire.
A new problem appeared with the broken thorn. Just as he put his hand into the lotus flower, the lotus flower of the stone actually came to life. The moment he took the golden stone and was about to pull it out, the large petals of the lotus flower quickly closed up. The broken thorn immediately turned into a white light and died. The lotus flower of the dragon was slowly about to open again.
Faint! This was fine too. This mission was too perverse! Whoever came would die. As I blocked the three-eyed panther's attack, I sighed at the death of Broken Spike. Who wouldn't die? Who wouldn't die? That's right! I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. I randomly placed the sea of fire and started running. However, no matter how I ran, I couldn't outrun the leopard. It was taller and taller, and it could fiercely pounce on me once. 400 HP was gone.
I ran to the side of the lotus flower that was about to bloom. At this time, the leopard just happened to pounce over from the sky. I hurriedly dodged and lost more than 300 HP. The leopard also fell into the lotus flower. The petrified lotus flower immediately came back to life and tightly clamped the leopard. The Three-Eyed Black Panther's front body was still outside, and its two claws were also fiercely grabbing the lotus flower. My Swift Heaven Flame Sea and Swift Heaven Fireball were fiercely burning this lotus flower. At this moment, the lotus also had health points, and its health was rapidly decreasing.
This Three-Eyed Panther was indeed a spiritual creature. It had been trapped for so long and still hadn't died. Under his fierce claws and my attacks, one of the lotus petals was finally broken. The Three-Eyed Mountain Panther struggled out. Its three eyeballs glared at me fiercely, and its three legs limped away.
I was scared to death. I thought it was going to attack me again. There was nothing alive in the lotus, and it was about to bloom again. However, there were only four petals left. I walked over and reached out for the golden stone from the gap. With a crack, the lotus flower closed again. However, the missing petal was a place where no one could attack. I easily took the stone out. The golden stone was flickering. It was very fun. I checked, and everything was the same?？
Just as he was about to leave, he heard a tapping sound. That monster had returned? I'll go find the reputation. The lotus flower had already shattered and turned into fine powder. At this moment, a gust of wind blew over and scattered the dust. There was nothing left. The only thing left was the ancient pine tree on the high slope.
I used the teleportation shaft and returned to Raging Water City. Broken Thorn was indeed waiting for me there.
"You're really strong. You lasted for so long before you died! "You've lost a level. I owe you this time. I'll definitely pay you back," I said firmly.
"Haha! Who said I was dead!" I took his hand and placed the stone in his hand.
"What? This? This? How did you do it?" He asked in confusion.
I told him what happened, and he couldn't help but sigh at my good luck.
"I'll remember this favor!" He held the stone tightly. It seemed that it was really important to him.
"Haha! Let's not talk about anything else first. You have to go to the Holy City to hand in the mission, right? I can't wait any longer!"
"Good! To the Holy City!" A smile gradually appeared on Broken Thorn's cold face.
