Another day passed. The players who participated in the Sword in the Heavens event had basically all returned home. Their profile pictures that had been dim for nearly a day on their friend list lit up.
As soon as Zhang Yang got online in the morning, he saw Wei Yan'er's profile picture lighting up again. He could not help but sweat profusely. He sent a private message to her, "Little girl, why are you skipping class again?"
"Who's skipping class? Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Today is a three-day holiday!"
"You ignorant and incompetent person. Are you planning to apply to Miracle University next year?"
"Stupid, stupid. This lady majored in art. In the future, I will be a great designer. Do I need to learn math, physics, or chemistry? The company can be handed over to a professional manager. This lady only needs to grasp the trends of the times and make the best designs! "
"… Even if you want to be lazy, you don't have to find such a great excuse, right?"
"Hmph, you always attack me. I'm ignoring you!"
Zhang Yang took Han Yingxue, Wei Yan'er, and Narcissus to the Level 70 map, Oz.
As Fatty Han and the others were only around Level 65, only Zhang Yang's Sword in the Heavens champion team could train in Level 70 maps. They all received a Level + 3 reward. Apart from Zhang Yang, Sun Xinyu was Level 68. Han Yingxue, Wei Yan'er, and Narcissus were all Level 67. They could barely explore Level 70 maps.
Every major region had six Level 70 maps, three at Level 80, and one at Level 90! The number of maps decreased, but the area of each map increased dramatically. The area of Oz was comparable to the total area of six Danira Forests!
Oz was established by humans, but it had nothing to do with the Alliance. It was a neutral kingdom that maintained friendly relations with the Centaurs, Dryads, Half-Elves, and other races. Together, they resisted the invasion of the Undead and Demons, two common enemies of the continent.
After crossing mountains and rivers, Zhang Yang's group of four arrived at an ancient town. Several wanted posters were posted at the town's entrance. However, one of the wanted posters had a yellow exclamation mark on it, indicating that this was a Wanted Quest that players could accept.
[Wanted: Snow White] (Mission Difficulty: B)
Description: Snow White is the daughter of the late King. Because she murdered her father, the great Ontario III, she is wanted by Her Majesty the Queen! Remember, Snow White is extremely dangerous and good at stirring up people's hearts, so don't listen to her. Once you find her, immediately report to the local guards or kill her! Her Majesty the Empress will reward you handsomely! Latest news: It is said that someone has seen someone in Butterfly Valley who looks like Snow White!
The four of them looked at each other. Han Yingxue said, "Snow White and the seven dwarves?"
"Dream Technologies is pulling a prank again!" Zhang Yang nodded.
"Are you going to accept it?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Of course I'll accept it! Didn't you see the handsome reward written on it? "
"Anemic warrior, you really have no sympathy. Snow White is so pitiful. Her father was killed by her stepmother, and she was persecuted by her stepmother. She is so miserable that there is no justice in the world, yet you still want to take over the mission to kill her. I despise you!" Wei Yan'er was very clear about her likes and dislikes. She wanted to draw a clear line between herself and Zhang Yang.
"Stupid girl, if we don't go see Snow White, will someone help her deal with that old witch, the Empress?"
"Oh, then are we going to Butterfly Valley now?"
"Of course!"
The wanted notice did not state where Butterfly Valley was, and the new map was pitch-black. It only showed areas that had been explored. However, there were two pieces of lips under people's noses, so they would know if they asked someone!
Although the NPC residents of the town would not tell the players the exact coordinates of a certain place, they could still tell the general direction of the place.
After the four of them left the town, they ran towards the east. After about 20 minutes, they came to a small valley with flowers blooming everywhere. On the verdant grass, there were many deer eating the grass. Countless butterflies fluttered in the sky, sometimes forming an S shape, sometimes forming a B shape.
"What a great place. Is this where the seven dwarves and Snow White live?" The three women's faces were full of longing. Every young lady had a dream of a prince charming.
Fortunately, Fatty Han was not there. Otherwise, he would definitely jump out and say something crazy like 8P to ruin the three beautiful women's dreams.
All the way to the depths of the valley, the terrain became narrower and narrower, like a V shape. When they reached the bottom of the valley, the two sides of the mountain were only about 20 meters apart. At the bottom of the valley, there was a row of very low houses, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, a total of seven.
In front of the houses was a large garden, surrounded by a circle of bamboo poles. In the middle of the garden, a beautiful woman about 20 years old was sitting on a recliner, basking in the sun. She wore a snow-white dress, and her black hair reached her hips. Her skin was as white as milk, smooth and white!
[Snow White] (Elite, Humanoid)
Level: 76
Health Points: 152000
Armor Points: 400
Note: "Evil" Princess, Her Majesty the Empress has ordered to kill!
As soon as Zhang Yang and the others entered Snow White's vision, she immediately jumped up in horror and said, "You, you were also sent by that old witch to kill me? I won't let her succeed! "
Swoosh, Snow White immediately rushed out and took the lead in attacking.
Zhang Yang immediately used Charge to knock Snow White into Unconsciousness and began to pull the aggro.
She was just an Elite. Even if her level was higher, under the strong firepower of the team, Snow White was soon left with a little bit of Health Points. But this last bit of Health Points could not be taken away. It seemed that they had entered the plot mode.
"Don't kill me! Please don't kill me! " Snow White looked at everyone pitifully, "I didn't murder my father, it was that old witch who did it! She framed me and wanted to kill me to silence me. She wanted to turn all the people of Oz into her slaves! "
"Ding! You now have two choices. First, kill Snow White and take her heart to Her Majesty the Queen of Oz to receive the reward! Second, let Snow White go. Maybe she will ask you to do something for her! "
Zhang Yang and the others received the system prompt at the same time.
"Of course we choose the second option. How can we help the evildoer!" Wei Yan'er said righteously.
"… Stupid Yu, if we kill the Queen, do you think we can get her magical mirror? Once we look at her, it will say, 'Han Yingxue, Han Yingxue, you are the most beautiful woman in the world!'"
Zhang Yang said, "I'll teach you a simple method. Make a recording of this sentence and play it for yourself!"
"You don't have any romantic feelings!"
"Then everyone agrees to choose the second option?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Yang nodded and took a step back, saying, "Snow White, we believe what you said!"
"Ding! You have made a choice on behalf of your team. Mission: Wanted: Snow White has been automatically removed from the mission list! "
Snow White was touched. She sobbed and said, "My father was a great king. But three years ago, my mother passed away. My father married this witch. Not only did she kill my father and seize the throne, but she also wants to kill me, the heir of the royal family. Then she can really sleep peacefully!"
"Adventurers, are you willing to help me get rid of that evil witch and return the clear skies of Oz?"
Wei Yan'er hurriedly said, "Snow White, we will definitely help you! Don't worry, we will go and kill that old witch now! "
"No! That witch has a mirror that has endless power. It can easily kill anyone! Even the great gods will be afraid of the power of that mirror! "Snow White quickly shook her head." To deal with that witch, we must first destroy that mirror! "
"Alright, let's go and destroy that mirror!" Wei Yan'er patted her chest and was about to leave.
Snow White quickly stopped her and said, "Warriors of justice, don't be impulsive. That mirror is extremely strong. Ordinary weapons cannot destroy it!"
"Then what do we do?"
"You must first defeat the stone giant Herlo and obtain his heart. That is the hardest stone in the world. Even lightning from the king of the gods cannot shatter it! Use Herlow's heart to attack the mirror, and you'll be able to destroy it completely! "
"Ding! Snow White has issued you a mission: The Hardest Stone in the World. Do you accept? "
The four of them immediately accepted the mission.
[The Hardest Stone in the World] (Mission Difficulty: A)
Mission Description: Kill the stone giant Herlo and obtain his heart. Then you can destroy the 'evil' queen's mirror! Beware, the stone giant Herlo is very strong. You should invite more friends to help you! You can find the stone giant Herlo in the Stone Valley south of Skyfall Mountain.
Mission Limit: 5 people (Can be shared)
Completion: Obtain the stone giant Herlo's heart 01
"It can be done by five people? Then let's find the boss first. When Ice comes online, let her use the Yearning Talisman to teleport over! "Zhang Yang said after looking at the mission description.
Han Ying Xue snorted softly and said, "Silly Yu, you really treat her well. You can't forget anything for her!"
"If that's the case, then I'm treating you even better. Which boss or mission did you forget?" Zhang Yang retorted.
"You're clearly using me as a coolie, bringing me along to heal you!"
As they chatted and laughed, the four of them rode their mounts out of the valley.
Wei Yan'er suddenly exclaimed and said, "You didn't go into the house to see the seven dwarfs!"
Daffodil laughed and said, "Yan'er, the seven dwarfs are definitely dwarfs. There shouldn't be anything to see!"
"Oh —"
After returning to the town, Zhang Yang asked the NPCs for the location of Skyfall Mountain. After asking seven or eight NPCs, he only knew that Skyfall Mountain was in the west. As for how far it was, he had no idea!
The four of them could only run west. After traveling for more than half an hour, they arrived at the next town. After asking the NPCs, they finally found out the general location of Skyfall Mountain.
"Weak Warrior, why does it take so long to find a monster?" Wei Yan'er was an impatient person. She was annoyed by running around all day.
"Don't worry. Starting tomorrow, the time difference between the game and the real world will be 3: 1!"
"Doesn't that mean that the character's movements will become fast-forward?"
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "The human mind is at the speed of light. Even if it's adjusted to 3: 1, you won't feel any change in the game!"
"… Won't it still take a lot of time to travel like this?"
"Indeed, it won't change your perception!" Zhang Yang nodded.
After traveling for more than an hour, the four of them finally arrived at Skyfall Mountain. This was a tall mountain that pierced through the clouds. However, the top of the mountain seemed to have been cut by a sharp sword and disappeared abruptly! Legend had it that Skyfall Mountain used to be able to reach the palace of the deities. However, the deities did not want to be disturbed by mortals, so they used their divine power to split Skyfall Mountain into two, resulting in its current appearance.
They arrived at the southern foot of Skyfall Mountain and found the entrance to Stone Valley. They then entered the quiet and deep valley.
"Humans, please leave immediately! This is the place where the great Herlow is meditating. No one is allowed to disturb him! " A jet-black native suddenly crawled out of a mud lump at the side and spoke in a low voice to the four of them.
[Stone Valley Native] (Elite, Elemental Creature)
Level: 72
Health Points: 144000
Armor Points: 800
The monster's name was displayed in yellow, which meant that it would not attack the players. However, if Zhang Yang and the others insisted on entering the valley, it might immediately become a red-named monster.
Wei Yan'Er took out her big broad axe and shouted, "Native monster, I'll take care of you!"
She charged forward. With this attack, the name of the Stone Valley Native immediately turned from yellow to red.
Zhang Yang used Taunt to take over the monster. With his current high defense, Han Yingxue only needed to cast a Recovery spell on him and he would not need to worry about it anymore. He could just attack for fun.
In less than ten seconds, the native was beaten into a pile of mud.
As they continued to move forward, the native monsters crawled out of the mud lump one after another. Because they had entered the enemy's territory, the native monsters no longer issued a warning, but directly launched an attack.
The native monster was a tragedy. It didn't even drop a pile of mud. Han Yingxue and Wei Yan'Er were so angry that they yelled at the system for being stingy.
After killing more than 20 monsters, an Aborigine finally dropped a piece of equipment.
[Rock Helmet] (Bronze Tier, Armor)
Armor: + 10
Stamina: + 84
Strength: + 42
Agility: + 21
Level Requirement: 70
Rock Equipment Set (15):
Rock Helmet, Rock Breastplate, Rock Gauntlets, Rock Leggings, Rock Boots
Three-piece Set: Increases your Armor by 200 points.
Five-piece Set: Increases your Health Points by 2000 points.
"Set piece, not bad, not bad!" Zhang Yang nodded repeatedly.
Narcissus Blossom felt strange and said, "Bronze Equipment Set, isn't this quality too low?"
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "After the second set, there will no longer be set drops in future dungeons. Only monsters in the wild will drop them! So, although the quality of Bronze Equipment is low, it's still mainstream equipment in the eyes of most players, at least until they reach Level 80! "
Narcissus Blossom understood and said, "After Level 80, Purple Gold Bosses will appear and replace the Gold Bosses! In the future, Silver Bosses will be the current Bronze Bosses, and Silver Equipments will slowly become commonplace items!
