“npc?”
Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo jumped in fright when they saw Kite and Anna appear out of nowhere. Boom, boom.
Be it Kate or Anna, both of them exuded a very powerful aura.
Just standing beside them gave Shi Feng a stifling feeling.
"It's been a while since we last met. Sure enough, they've improved a lot." Shifeng glanced at the handsome Kite and the enchanting Anna with satisfaction. "They're already Level 60. As expected of Dark-Gold Guards. Their growth rate is really fast."
Anna's improvement speed was particularly astonishing. She had become a Personal Guard slightly later than Kite, yet she had already reached Level 60. Moreover, she was a Tier 2 Summoner. Her growth rate was truly astonishing.
In God's Domain, nurturing a powerful Personal Guard wasn't an easy task.
First of all, nurturing a Personal Guard required a lot of money.
As NPCs, they needed a lot of EXP to level up, far more than players. If Shi Feng frequently brought his Personal Guard out into the fields, he would only slow down his Personal Guard's growth.
If he wanted his Personal Guards to level up quickly, he needed to have them accept quests from the Adventurer's Association. However, Personal Guards needed to spend money to do so. Depending on the quest's rank, the Adventurer's Association would charge different fees. Although Personal Guards would receive Coins, EXP, and other rewards after completing their quests, these Coins and other rewards had nothing to do with players.
The Coins Personal Guards earned could be used to purchase their own equipment and items. Unlike players, who had to grind Dungeons to obtain items, players could purchase items from the Adventurer's Association or Weapon and Equipment Shops. Players couldn't afford those items with their Coins.
Hence, the first step to nurturing a Personal Guard was to make them rich and have them do a large number of quests.
In the Adventurer's Association, quests were divided into Bronze, Mysterious-Iron, Secret-Silver, Fine-Gold, Dark-Gold, and Epic ranks. The higher the rank of a quest, the more bountiful the reward. Similarly, players had to spend a lot of money to complete the quest.
Currently, Level 60 Bronze Quests cost 5 Gold, Mysterious-Iron Quests cost 10 Gold, Secret-Silver Quests cost 20 Gold, Fine-Gold Quests cost 40 Gold, Dark-Gold Quests cost 80 Gold, and Epic Quests cost 200 Gold.
As for whether a Personal Guard could complete a Bronze Quest, that would depend on the Personal Guard's strength. For example, a Bronze Guard's success rate for accepting a Bronze Quest was extremely high, with a 70% chance of completing it. However, a Mysterious-Iron Guard's success rate would drop to 40%, while a Secret-Silver Guard's success rate would drop to 10%.
However, he could increase his Personal Guard's combat power by upgrading their equipment, indirectly increasing his quest's success rate. Only, doing so would take some time.
However, Anna and Kite were different. Both of them had the potential to reach Dark-Gold rank. Even if they only had Basic Equipment, their chances of completing Dark-Gold Quests were 50%. As long as their equipment could keep up, their chances of completing Dark-Gold Quests could exceed 80%. At a certain point, they could even challenge Epic Quests.
Only, Epic Quests were not available just because one wanted to. The Adventurer's Association's quests refreshed every day.
It was precisely because of the difference in the number of quests Personal Guards took that their leveling speed was so fast.
"Ye Feng, are we really going to fight the Crystal Wolf King?" Thoughtful Rain asked worriedly as she looked at the Shifeng in high spirits.
Although the two Level 60, Tier 2 NPCs were very powerful, the Crystal Wolf King was a Tier 3 Great Lord.
"Relax. I've already investigated the Crystal Wolf King. This Wolf King's Skills focus on buffs. As long as Blue Bamboo dispels them properly, our combat power should be enough," Shifeng explained, chuckling.
This was not his first time fighting the Crystal Wolf King. The reason why the Crystal Wolf King was so powerful was its speed. Even a top-tier MT of the same level would have difficulty blocking the Wolf King's attacks. In addition, the Wolf King's buffs could stack continuously, allowing it to become more powerful as it fought.
If they did not dispel the Crystal Wolf King's buffs in time, the battle would only end with a team-wipe.
As long as they dealt with the Crystal Wolf King's buffs properly, with the strength of the two Dark-Gold Personal Guards, they should have no problems taking down the Crystal Wolf King.
Following which, Shifeng led Thoughtful Rain and the others to the cave's entrance.
A strong wind blew past the cave's entrance. As soon as they stepped into the cave, they heard a wolf's howl echoing throughout the cave, causing the entire cave to tremble.
In the next moment, a towering figure appeared in the dark, spacious cave.
It was over a dozen meters tall, looking like a skyscraper. When it looked down on Shi Feng and the others, its blood-red eyes glowed with a crimson light. It also bared its snow-white teeth. Its entire body was made of crystal, and a faint green glow glowed at its chest.
[Crystal Wolf King] (Elemental Creature, Great Lord) Level 50 HP 21,000,000/21,000,000
"Kite, keep the Wolf King busy. Anna, support him. Blue, focus on healing Kite," Shifeng commanded.
At Shifeng's command, the tall Kite transformed into a gust of wind as he dashed towards the Crystal Wolf King.
Kite only had 750,000 HP. Against a Great Lord with 21,000,000 HP, this amount of HP was negligible. However, when the Crystal Wolf King swung its claws, several streaks of silver light shot towards Kite. The attacks were so fast that ordinary players would not be able to react in time.
However, Kite did not dodge. Instead, he unsheathed his two swords and slashed.
Peng … Peng … Peng …
The silver lights that were flying through the air were all shattered.
Following which, Kite growled. The two swords in his hands released a dazzling blue glow as he swung them at the Wolf King.
Tier 2 Skill, Wind Fangs!
Two gigantic blue fangs transformed into streaks of light, instantly piercing through the Crystal Wolf King's body.
"Awoo!"
The Crystal Wolf King cried out in pain as it retreated two steps, two damages of over -100,000 appearing above its head. However, Kite was far from done with his attack. In the next moment, he appeared before the Wolf King.
Enraged, the Crystal Wolf King bared its fangs and swiped its massive claws at Kite. The Wolf King was so fast that only a blur could be seen. The Wolf King's claws struck Kite's body.
Boom!
The ground shook.
However, the Wolf King's claws did not hit Kite. Instead, Kite blocked the attack with a single hand. Following which, Kite swung his other sword at the Wolf King's claw joint.
A streak of blue light sent the Crystal Wolf King's claws flying. Immediately, a damage of over -20,000 appeared above the Wolf King's head.
"Big Brother Ye Feng, isn't your Personal Guard a little too strong?!" Blue Bamboo's eyes widened in shock when she saw this scene.
She had seen quite a few powerful Personal Guards in the past. However, the Tier 2 Personal Guards she had encountered before had struggled to deal with a Lord ranked Wolf SS. They had even needed players to assist them.
Yet, Kite had actually blocked the Great Lord ranked Wolf SS's attack single-handedly. The two were on completely different levels, yet Kite had accomplished such a feat. It was simply unbelievable.
Shifeng was similarly astonished.
He had never imagined that Kite would be so powerful. He had already grown to the point where he could contend with a Great Lord ranked Wolf SS. In terms of Strength, he could even suppress the Crystal Wolf King …
Only now did Shifeng understand why Super Guilds drooled over Dark-Gold Guards. If Shi Feng was already so strong right now, just how strong would he be once he reached Tier 5?
While Shifeng was still in shock, Anna, who stood a short distance away, took action.
As soon as Anna finished chanting, the dark cave lit up as if it were daytime.
A gigantic, golden magic array enveloped over half of the cave. Anna's aura also increased severalfold. Even Shifeng, who stood some distance away, found it difficult to breathe.
