"Bang!"
My sword slammed into the thick layer of ice, and the entire glacier seemed to tremble. Shards of ice flew everywhere, and a deep trench about a meter deep appeared in the ice. However, it was at least 10 meters thick, so it was still a long way to go.
"Do your best! Use your Ancient Divine Skills!" Lin Yixin cheered me on from midair.
"Mn!"
I raised the Xuanyuan Sword, and a beam of sword energy shot into the sky. In the new expansion, I learned that all Ancient Divine Skills had their own effects. For example, my SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Xuanyuan Slash, increased its hidden power by 20% when used with the Xuanyuan Sword, and my SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Pangu Axe, increased its power by 25% when used with Pangu Axe. Unfortunately, High Fighting Spirits had Pangu Axe, not Candlelight Shadow. As for Scarlet Heaven Slash, it had to be used with the Scarlet Heaven Sword, but it hadn't appeared yet, so Li Chengfeng could only use his Green Peak Halberd.
"Bang!"
The ground shook as a 4-meter deep trench appeared beneath my feet. Mountain Crush was incredibly powerful, and I was able to shatter almost all of the ice in my path like a Transformers bulldozer. Above me, Lin Yixin looked at me and said, "Hurry up, Little Cheat! More players from the Chaotic 27 are coming our way! They're from the same guild, and it looks like they're here to take revenge! My spies in the Chaotic 27 said that they've made an announcement in the server, and they're gathering a large force to hunt us down! "
I couldn't help but laugh as I dug. "Aiyo, they're taking this too seriously. They're mobilizing their main force just for the two of us? Fuck, what if the two of us fly away? Wouldn't their trip be for nothing? "Lin Yixin giggled.
Lin Yixin giggled. "Well, the players of the Chaotic 27 have nothing better to do anyway. They were born in the Barren Lands, so there aren't many places for them to level up. The monsters here are too high leveled for them, so they've probably developed a culture of fighting and killing every day. They're just like the players in the Outlands. Hurry up and dig. Once we enter the Immortal Cloud Ice Cave, we won't have to fear them anymore."
"Mn. Even if they come, we'll make them pay!"
"Hehe, good, good!"
A trace of warmth rose in my heart. Perhaps, I wouldn't be able to accompany her to stir up trouble anymore. I should cherish the precious time in front of me.
…
After a "hong" sound, the ice layer of the glacier was penetrated by me. A circular hole with a radius of about 2 meters appeared under my feet. Looking down, it was pitch black. I could only see the deep blue luster at the bottom of the ice cave. That was the color of the inside of the glacier. Yup, and the map already indicated that I was close to the Immortal Cloud Ice Cave!
Above them, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Dark clouds covered the sky. Lin Yixin was casting Cloud Storm. Many blood-red dots appeared on the map. These were the players from the Chaotic 27. They had started PvP.
"Yiyi, it's through! Come down now!" I shouted in the party channel.
"En!"
Lin Yixin raised her bloodied sword and dove into the cave. I jumped down and flew into Immortal Cloud Ice Cave with her. A cold wind blew. System Notice: You have entered the map [Immortal Cloud Ice Cave]!
…
Thud!
I abruptly grabbed Lin Yixin's hand and dodged to the right. Above us, a dozen or so magic knights from the Chaotic Dukedom charged down with their swords. They fell from the sky, their eyes wide as saucers. They shouted like pigs being slaughtered, "Fuck me, it's a bottomless abyss down there! We're going to fall to our deaths! They're too cunning!"
The dozen or so figures plummeted and turned into meat skewers on the hundreds of meters deep ice. Lin Yixin and I, however, were completely unharmed. This was the game of god-tier players. Normal players couldn't compare to them at all. If they thought they could fight us here, they'd be at a huge disadvantage.
Above us, arrows whizzed by. Their archers unwillingly let loose a volley of arrows. Then, a soldier shouted from above, "Fuck! Our magic knights have fallen to their deaths! Below us is the terrifying Immortal Cloud Ice Cave. Those damned Little Heavenly Kings of China actually dug through the glacier and entered the Immortal Cloud Ice Cave! Contact the Northern Alliance immediately and tell them to send a group of Griffin Knights over. Our flying cavalry should gather as well. Prepare to enter the glacier and strangle them inside! "
I was speechless. "Are they going to chase after us and attack us? This is so boring … "
Lin Yixin giggled and held my hand. "Come on, let's go gather Immortal Cloud Grass. With Immortal Cloud Grass and gold, there's no point in bickering with these good-for-nothings!"
"Mn!"
I activated the glow of my equipment and lit up the entire ice cave. Just like the other ice cave maps, this place was divided into many levels, and we had to go through the entrance of the first level to enter the second level. Unfortunately, both Lin Yixin and I knew how to fly, so we didn't have to fight our way through the levels. We just had to find the Immortal Cloud Grass.
"Which layer is the Immortal Cloud Grass on?" I asked.
Lin Yixin simply held my hand and flew around the walls of the cave. She said, "I'm not too sure myself, but don't worry. I'll find it very soon. The Immortal Cloud Grass is a Level 15 herb, and it's the highest-level herb in the game. It's like a boss among herbs, so it won't be easy to find it. Let's do our best …"
Ice Wolves with blood-red eyes were roaming the first ice corridor and letting out low growls. They were Level 325 Demon Rank mobs, and there was one every two to three meters. If a player wanted to grind here, they might have to endure the attacks of three to five Ice Wolves at once. It was very uncomfortable.
"Look over there, there's a green glow. Is it a herb?" I pointed at an ice wall and asked.
Lin Yixin shook her head. "No, it's a Rank 12 herb called Blue Serene Grass. It's a necessary herb for assassins to temper their weapons with poison. A stack of 100 Blue Serene Grass costs 1000 RMB in Sky City. Expensive, right?"
"It's too expensive … should we go harvest it?"
"No, let's go find Immortal Cloud Grass … Can you not get excited whenever you hear gold? You're the CEO of Eternal Moon Corporation, how can you be so useless …"
"Alright, let's continue!"
We flew past the first floor and circled above the second floor. Then, we saw a bunch of strange-looking herbs at the edge of the cliff. I couldn't help but ask, "This time, is it?"
Lin Yixin turned around and looked at me. She said, "You've seen these herbs before, right? These are Dragonheart Orchids. You once gathered them with me. I can't believe you forgot. You don't love me anymore … "
I quickly hugged her and kissed her smooth and beautiful face. "No, I said it on purpose …"
"Pooh, I despise you …"
"..."
We continued to fly down. After passing the third floor and the fourth floor, the ground was flat. The fifth floor was the lowest level of the Immortal Cloud Ice Cave. There were Flame Bears crawling on the ground. Things always move in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme. The guardian of the lowest level of the ice cave was actually a fire-type monster. It was a Level 335 God-tier monster with super high Attack and high HP.
"Look …" Lin Yixin pointed around. "There are Flame Bears everywhere in the hall at the bottom, and there are seven caves. One of them is where the boss is. I suspect that the Immortal Cloud Grass is where the boss is resting. The boss is the guardian of such a precious herb, so we'll probably have to kill the boss before we can harvest the Immortal Cloud Grass …"
I nodded. "No problem. With our current stats, we can kill a boss that isn't too powerful without a priest. Plus, we have your Bombshell, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"Mn. Shall we enter the caves one by one?"
"Alright, let's clear out the Flame Bears at the first cave on the left first. I'm going first!"
"Mn!"
I charged down and hit a group of Flame Bears with Burning Blade Slash. At the same time, I took a few steps back and used War Trample to kill all the Flame Bears. Behind me, Lin Yixin floated down and used Ice Flame Slash with her Windcutter. Several Flame Bears immediately fell to the ground and dropped a lot of equipment. Lin Yixin was the player with the second highest contribution in the Nation War, so she must have gotten a lot of Luck as well. Her drop rate couldn't be much lower than mine.
I didn't pick up the equipment. Lin Yixin flew into the cave and came out in less than three seconds. She shook her head and said, "This one is fake. Let's clear out the mobs and head to the second cave!"
"Okay!"
… …
We cleared out the mobs at the fifth cave. Finally, I leaned against the wall of ice and smiled. "Okay, the boss is inside. My Dark Pupils finally detected it. It's a big red dot!"
"Don't fight the boss yet. Let's clear out the mobs first!"
"Mn!"
A few minutes later, the group of Flame Bears turned into experience and gave it to Lin Yixin. I was max level, so I couldn't get any experience at all.
I turned around, gripped the Xuanyuan Sword in my right hand, and held the Sovereign Ocean Shield in my left. Then, I carefully entered the ice cave and was hit by a wave of cold. It was so cold inside that it felt like I had entered a freezer. Lin Yixin followed closely behind me and gritted her teeth. "Fuck, it's so cold …"
I smiled. "That boss seems to be hibernating …"
"Mn!"
Right in front of us, there was a huge beast covered in azure frost. It was lying on the ground, taking a nap. It looked like a lion, and a line of words floated above its head — 【Ice Lion Beast King】 (Quasi God Tier BOSS) Level: 335 … …
"Quasi God Rank …"
Lin Yixin gritted her teeth and shot me a glance. Then, she smiled and said, "Are you sure you can kill it?"
I raised the Xuanyuan Sword and said confidently, "Don't worry, my level is capped, and the difference between me and the monster isn't that big. I can use Profound Armor Technique and 50% lifesteal to kill it. Attack with me later and try to speed up the process of killing the boss with Dual Flight. I can sense a lot of players from the Chaotic 27, so don't let them disturb us …"
"Mn, let's start!"
