The vertical distance from the bottom of the Burning Crevice to the top was no more than 200 meters. Of course, the so-called vertical distance referred to the concave and protruding rocks, which were not included in the calculation. In Fate, players would be able to learn a skill called Climb when they reached lvl 40.
Instinctive Skills were skills that any normal human could learn. Every 10 levels, one could learn one. For example, players would be able to learn Jump at lvl 10, Crawl at lvl 20, Backward Jump at lvl 30, Climb at lvl 40, Swim at lvl 50, and so on.
Of course, it did not mean that players would not be able to learn the skill even if they did not learn it. The skills were innate to the human body. Therefore, even if players did not learn the skill, they would still be able to learn it. However, the proficiency and success rate of learning the skill depended on the player's physical fitness. Those who were agile and had good coordination would have a higher success rate, but those who did not like to exercise would have a lower success rate. Not all players were born with the ability to leap over roofs and vault over walls. Therefore, the game allowed players to learn the skill based on their physical fitness. As long as they reached the required level, they would be able to learn the skill based on their physical fitness. As long as they learned the skill, they would be able to reach a decent level.
Ye Ci was not an athlete in real life. She was only slightly better at coordination, but she was not much different from a normal human being. It was a difficult task for her to climb from the bottom of the Burning Crevice to the top before she learned how to climb.
After expending a tremendous amount of effort, Ye Ci finally reached the top of a protruding rock. She leaned against the wall and sat down. She took out some roasted meat and water and began stuffing them into her mouth. Not only would it be easy to fall to one's death if one did not know Climb, one's speed would be extremely slow and it would consume a lot of Stamina. Ye Ci thought that she would be able to reach the top with her Stamina, but when she was just a step away from the top, her Stamina bar had already turned red. If she did not eat anything soon, she would fall to her death from the exhaustion of her Stamina.
Ye Ci leaned against the wall and gobbled down the roasted meat. Her Stamina was slowly recovering.
Suddenly, her pointy ears twitched subconsciously, and a faint buzzing sound came from the top of the crevice.
"Are you sure The Black Plum Family will be here today?"
"If you don't believe me, why are you looking for me?"
"No, it's not that I don't believe you. I just think …" The man paused, and his voice was slightly hoarse. "This is not a quest map. There is only a wild BOSS here. Why would they come here?"
The other person didn't answer.
The hoarse voice continued, "Moreover, the whereabouts of these large guilds are usually kept secret. You're not even an executive, so how did you know about such secretive matters? Are you trying to trick me? "
"Gauging the heart of a gentleman with one's own yardstick." That person coldly snorted. "I naturally have my own methods. You don't need to worry about this."
"Hehe, I know. The Red Dust is your sworn brother. However, I'm a villain, and you're not a gentleman either. "The hoarse voice chuckled a few more times, and it was not difficult to hear the thick disdain in his voice.
The other person didn't say anything else. After a while, he said, "I have the deposit. Once it's done, I'll look for you."
"Alright." The hoarse voice chuckled again. His voice was very unique, and it gave off a very vulgar feeling.
These two probably felt that this place was too remote, and since it was a high-level leveling spot, there shouldn't be anyone else around. Therefore, they didn't cautiously use private chat, and directly talked to each other. Sometimes Ye Ci thought that the ancient people said that caution was the parent of safety. If these two were using private chat today, she definitely wouldn't have heard it. If she didn't hear it, she definitely wouldn't have wanted to watch the show.
At this time, Ye Ci lifted her head and leaned against the mountain wall. She carefully listened to the dark monster-like rocks above for a while. When she heard the rustling footsteps disappear, she slowly stood up and climbed up to the top of the crevice.
Ye Ci didn't immediately reveal her head when she was hanging on the edge of the crevice. Instead, she quietly poked half of her head out and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, she climbed up the crevice and immediately entered stealth. She then walked in the direction where the footsteps disappeared.
Ye Ci was never a curious person. She was also not a person who liked to gossip and poke her nose into other people's business. The only reason she followed was because the name The Black Plum Family Guild piqued her interest. The Black Plum Family was from the Southern Continent. They also participated in the Dragon Dance Competition, but they didn't make it to the third round. Therefore, Ye Ci didn't have the chance to meet them face to face. However, in her previous life, Ye Ci had a lot of dealings with them.
Ye Ci's skills were good. They didn't stick to the same pattern. They often looked for Ye Ci as external aid when exploring new dungeons. However, Ye Ci had too many enemies. Before Ye Ci's reincarnation, they didn't reach an agreement on joining the guild.
In the eyes of The Black Plum Family, Ye Ci was a powerful DPS tool for dungeons. In Ye Ci's eyes, The Black Plum Family was a tool for her to change equipment. Both sides had their own needs. Although they weren't sincere, they cooperated well.
It had been half a year since Ye Ci reincarnated. Now that she recalled the past, the only impression The Black Plum Family left on Ye Ci was that they were rich and didn't stick to the same pattern. After today's incident, it was obvious that The Black Plum Family had been betrayed by a mole. Ye Ci decided to follow them to take a look.
Of course, her goal wasn't to help. She wanted to see if she could get something out of the fight between the two sides. Since she had already made it this far, the only way to return to the Eastern Continent was to go to the nearest city to buy some Flying Fragments. It wasn't Ye Ci's style to return empty-handed.
Oh, I forgot to mention. Ye Ci's current location was the Warsong Tribe, a map that connected the Southern Continent and the Eastern Continent. Just like the Humid Rainforest, the monsters here were Level 35 to Level 40. Most of them were humanoid monsters, so the drop rate was relatively high. It was worth it for a party to grind here.
However, Ye Ci didn't think that The Black Plum Family was here to grind. According to Ye Ci's memories of her previous life, they were here to slay a Level 35 humanoid Elite Field BOSS, Warsong Priestess Doanli. This was because there was a 100% chance that this Boss would drop a quest item, the Golden Age Scroll. Using this scroll would allow the BOSS to accept a 100-man high level party quest. Completing the quest would grant a generous reward. One of the rewards was something that all guilds coveted — the Guild Flag.
This Guild Flag was different from normal Guild Flags. When this Guild Flag was placed on the flagpole of a guild encampment, the encampment's level would increase by one. This was the equivalent of a University graduate receiving the salary of a Postgraduate …
Who wouldn't take such a good deal? Ye Ci wanted to join in the fun if it wasn't for the fact that she felt that it was too much of a hassle to move Up Everyday's party from Red Lake City. In Fate, other than Bosses that had already been slain, no one knew what Bosses that had yet to be slain would drop. The Black Plum Family must have known about the Golden Longevity Scroll if they were so determined to cause trouble for Dorian. However, Ye Ci wasn't sure how they knew about it. She only knew that in her previous life, The Black Plum Family was the first to obtain the Warsong Priestess Dorian's First Blood. Furthermore, The Black Plum Family was the first to obtain the Guild Flag as well.
Calculating the time, it should be now.
Even if she was a Siberian butterfly, she didn't seem to be able to shake up the development of Fate.
Ye Ci was very careful as she moved closer to the Warsong Priestess Dorian's spawn point.
The mobs in the Warsong Tribe had extremely high movement speed. Although they didn't have high attack power, they loved to inflict debuffs on their targets. They would then shamelessly surround and attack their targets. As they were humanoid monsters, they were also divided into different levels. For example, the lowest level mobs were basically unarmed. They would only inflict debuffs such as Slow, Stun, and Fear. The mobs with small weapons were intermediate level mobs. They would inflict debuffs such as Burn, Freeze, Poison, and so on. As for the mobs with medium weapons, they were advanced level mobs. They would inflict debuffs such as Petrification, Stiffness, Metalization, and so on.
As for their leader, the Warsong Priestess Dorian, she was much more powerful. Not only did she have three attack skills, she also had the debuffs that all the mobs had. Furthermore, the debuffs were AoE. If she was in a bad mood, she could cast an AoE debuff that dealt continuous damage to the party's Clerics.
Along the way, there were many mobs patrolling the area. They were usually in groups of three to five. Some of them were low level mobs, some were intermediate level mobs, some were high level mobs, and some were even more overpowered. There were even mobs of all levels. However, Ye Ci didn't dare to fight them head-on. Most of the time, she would circle around them when she saw them from afar.
As she was in Stealth, her movement speed was reduced by 50%. By the time she got close to the Warsong Priestess Dorian's spawn point, she could already see a group of people hiding in a trench not too far away. Their location was very well hidden. If not for Ye Ci's careful search, she wouldn't have been able to find them. At this moment, they were all hiding in the trench. Their bodies were covered in leaves. If one didn't pay attention, they would have been mistaken for leaves and weeds. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
