Each attack took away 3 points of damage, slowly reducing Markel's HP.
14%！
10%！
9%！
8%！
5%！
The duration of the Dragon Aura was getting shorter and shorter. There were only seven seconds left, and Mark still had 5% of his HP left. Once the Dragon Aura ended, he would definitely be killed by Mark in one strike.
Hurry up!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Ji Nie's eyes turned blood-red, and his sword moved faster and faster.
Mark only had 10 HP left, but the Dragon Energy Whirlpool had already ended…
Gini's speed decreased drastically. With a human-like sneer, Mark swung his boulder-like fist down.
"Die!"
The cooldown of the Thunder Storm that had been counting down in Gini's mind ended.
Thunder and Wind!
In a flash, Jines shot out three bolts of lightning that pierced through Mark's body.
－4、－5、－6。
It took away the last 10 HP of Mark.
With a boom, Michael turned into a pile of rubble.
System: Killed Special Elite Mark, 4 Levels higher. EXP gained increased by 400%. Obtained 940 EXP.
All of a sudden, Ji Nie's EXP bar increased by 27%, and he was one step closer to Level 3.
After getting rid of Mark, Jines searched the rubble.
Special Elites dropped more than Normal Elites. They obtained a piece of equipment, a Skill Book, and 16 Coppers.
"The drops from a higher-level challenge are really good. It actually dropped a Gray-Silver Shield. It can definitely be sold for a high price.”
Looking at the blue cross shield in her hand, Ji Nie could already imagine how many guilds would be willing to pay a high price to buy this shield.
[Giant Iron Shield](Gray-Silver Rank)
Equipment Requirement: 8 Strength
Level 5
Defense 21
Defense Rate 23%
Strength 2
Endurance 4
HP 30
With such Attributes, it could be considered a small treasure. After holding it, its Defense would increase significantly, and its HP would increase by 110.
For a Level 5 Warrior class, it was equivalent to having a third more HP. It was more than enough to fight against Bosses in Level 5 dungeons. It could even be used to fight in Level 8 dungeons.
As for the skill book, it was also a good one. It was a general melee skill, Parry. It required a melee weapon to be able to block a frontal attack. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.
Parry was a popular Skill for any melee class. It was even more so for Warrior classes. It was in short supply on the market, but its drop-rate was extremely low.
After all, it was a life-saving skill. It could block an attack at a critical moment and might be able to survive the crisis. Especially when fighting a Boss, the healer could not heal. Block it so that the healer could heal in time.
Ji Nie looked at the parry skill and chose to learn it in the end. Although the shield and this skill book could be bought for a better price, he would not kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.
After killing Mark, Jines continued to climb up.
A Gray-Silver shield was just a small amount of money, but an Earth Treasure Chest was the treasure that could make one rich.
They were less than one-third of the way to the top of the mountain, so it was easy to encounter monsters at the resting point. However, there were still four Flame Fruits left, so Ji Nie had to choose his route carefully.
Half an hour later.
They advanced cautiously until they finally reached the peak. The white fog was thick, and visibility was very low. They could only see a radius of 20 yards.
Ji Nie had already used up four Flame Fruits to kill the spirit giant. If another monster came, Ji Nie would have to give up and start all over again.
After Ji Nie took a few steps…
A few blurry figures could be vaguely seen in front of him.
At this moment, the system issued an emergency notification. The player had discovered the Lost Land and activated the hidden quest " Gravekeeper's Glory ". The player was temporarily cut off from all contact with the outside world and could not leave this place until the quest was completed.
"F * ck, those assassins are definitely lying.”
Ji Nie couldn't help but curse inwardly. Those assassins must have hidden some information.
The situation at the top of the mountain was completely different from what the assassins had reported.
Those assassins had lied. Although Ji Nie was furious, he had to calm down in the face of an unknown situation.
Even the members of the studio would have their own selfish motives. They would definitely hide some of the key things they discovered so that they could quietly become stronger and make a fortune.
There were many such people in the studio. Be it the peripheral members or the core members, after a period of time, a few especially strong people would appear and their status would suddenly rise.
Ji Nie himself was like that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone from a core member to the leader of the workshop.
"When I came to the Lost Land, I told others that I only saw the treasure chest and didn't say anything else.”
"There must be something more important than the treasure chest. Is it this hidden mission?”
Ji Nie opened the system mission interface.
The hidden quest of the Lost Land," Honor of Gravekeeper ".
Other than the name, there was no mission content. He did not know what to do.
" A regional trigger mission?"
Ji Nie, who had ten years of experience with Ling Xiao, could see the key to this hidden mission at a glance.
In Soaring Cloud, there were some very special missions that could only be triggered when one reached certain areas. Moreover, these missions did not have any content and required the players to search for them themselves.
After completing the quest, even if the next player came here, they would not trigger the quest again. It could be said that it was a very special and unique quest.
At the same time, it was also a very dangerous mission.
To find a way to complete the mission in an unknown area, one had to face the monsters in this unknown area.
Normally, the monsters in the Special Quest's area would be several levels higher than the monsters in the surrounding area, making it impossible for ordinary players to complete the quest.
In his previous life, when he triggered a quest in this Level 5 monster area, six Level 20-plus Assassins had come here, which was why he had been able to complete the quest.
"Forget it. We can't get out anyway. We might as well explore!”
"At most, I'll just return to the city after I die.”
After understanding the situation, Ji Nie strode forward.
Walking through the mist, a few blurry figures appeared in front of Ji Nie.
This was a city, a city that had been abandoned for many years. There were dilapidated houses everywhere. From the size of the city and the magnificence of the buildings, one could tell that this place used to be very prosperous, even more prosperous and glorious than Ziwei City.
However, there wasn't even a single person in this 'bustling' city.
Ji Nie quietly walked into the city, looking for clues to the quest while observing the surroundings.
Finding a city that could accommodate millions of people was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Ji Nie ran through dozens of streets and entered hundreds of houses. After spending several hours, he still did not find any clues to the quest.
Soaring Cloud had just started, and it was time to widen the gap between them. Ji Nie had wasted several hours. Many players were already level 1, but Ji Nie was still at 34% of level 2.
Should he continue searching for clues or return to the city after he revived himself? This made Ji Nie hesitate.
"We'll search for another hour. If it doesn't work, we'll return to the city.”
Ji Nie set a time for himself. Although this mission was valuable, he didn't have that much time to waste.
He still had a lot of missions to do. There was no need to waste his time here.
Time slowly passed.
Ji Nie arrived at the tower in the center of the city. This was once the holy land for magic classes and the best place to learn magic. Now, it was in ruins, and even the magic crystals on the tower had shattered.
