Chapter 283: Shangshan Ruoshui
Next morning.
Shen Mingxuan and I brought breakfast. After we finished it, we went online.
…
“Shua!”
My Paladin account appeared on the square. Not far away, Ah Fei’s store had a huge line. All of them shouted out loud–
“Master End, help me inscribe. My Orange axe is the top axe in Tanzhong County, please. I can give you extra!”
“Please move aside, let our Chaos family wants to inscribe, Master please!”
“Eh, look who that is? Dream of a Thousand Cities, Zhan Long’s new guild leader, she came to find the Inscriber?”
“Oh my god, Linchen County is so busy today!”
“Master, please help me. Thank you, please allow me to kneel for you!”
“Pui, so insincere! Master, please help me. Apart from that, please accept my equipment and my cousin!”
…
After fixing the equipment, I went to purchase blue and red potions.
After I was done, a beautiful female archer was being surrounded as she appeared in front of Ah Fei. The words Dream of a Thousand Cities appeared above her head. Zhan Long that had shocked the world had a new guild leader.
At this point, Lin Xi, Shen Mingxuan and Gu Ruyi were all here and we gathered on the east bridge.
From afar, Shen Mingxuan frowned, “Dream of a Thousand Cities… Zhan Long’s new guild leader is here, it seems like level 6 inscriptions are just too attractive.”
Lin Xi looked towards Dream of a Thousand Cities and said softly, “When Li Xiao Yao was here, Zhan Long was like the sun in the sky, who knew that they would end up like this now. Dream of a Thousand Cities wasn’t that strong in Zhan Long and couldn’t even enter the top 20 in Zhan Long Hall. Now she is the guild leader.”
“No choice.”
Shen Mingxuan smiled, “After Li Xiao Yao disappeared, most of Zhan Long’s main force quit. It is impossible for Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue to enter Illusionary Moon.
Yue Qing Qian and Yue Wei Liang are both busy in school and the General Family are all working. Xue Rou, Song Han, Dancing Forest, Li Meng Yao all quit after Li Xiao Yao’s matter. So probably only Dream of a Thousand Cities and the few others can help support Zhan Long.”
Gu Ruyi blinked, “Actually when we were still in school, I really wanted to join Zhan Long but I wasn’t strong enough. Moreover, Lin Xi didn’t allow me to.”
Lin Xi smiled, “Rely on yourself. We will set up our own guild so why must we join others. Isn’t it good if we create a With You guild?”
“Good good good~~”
Gu Ruyi smiled, “I shall listen to you for everything!”
Right at that moment, a familiar person appeared holding a jade flute. Although his face didn’t look the same as it was in real life, but that didn’t affect how handsome he was. It was Tony, Lin Xi and Shen Mingxuan’s hairstylist!
Shangshan Ruoshui (Palace Musician)
Level: 68
…
“Hi Lin Xi, Shen Mingxuan~~”
He waved right away and his attitude was really cool.
Lin Xi smiled, “Tony?”
“Yes.”
He laughed and looked at his dressing, “It is quite awkward to be dressed like this in game, hahaha~~”
Shen Mingxuan smiled, “Great, you look more handsome.”
“Is that true?”
He was surprised, “As long as all of you are okay. I was worried that I would be looked down on when training with all of you!”
Shen Mingxuan bumped my shoulder, “We didn’t even look down on him so why would we look down on you?”
I was speechless. I had the urge to pull out Silver Ocean Sword to fight her.
On the side, Gu Ruyi said softly, “Isn’t Lu Li quite good…”
I was touched, Ruyi was still the best to me. Lin Xi smiled, “Okay then let’s party up and prepare to head out. This map might be a long while so let’s be mentally prepared.”
“Okay!” Everyone nodded.
“Then let’s head out.”
She held Hellfire and after adding Tony in, she walked at the front. As the leader, she led all of us out of Linchen County’s east gate and towards the north.
Shen Mingxuan followed Lin Xi with her bow, Tony was in the middle followed by Shen Mingxuan and I at the back. As the only milk cavalry, my mission was to protect them. Such a formation could prevent sneak attacks and ambushes. We would have a chance of fighting back and not get messed up right away.
No choice, With You had too many enemies. Breaking Dawn was a strong one and those parties who were close to them treated us as enemies too. Although we didn’t have an outright war but if they had a chance they would definitely do so. With You relied on Lin Xi’s reputation and strength but she was alone. If she fell, With You was close to getting wiped.
“Sha sha…”
The wind blew across the forest. I activated Shifang Flame Spiral Eye all the way. Instantly a weird color flashed across my right eye that normal people couldn’t see. I observed the surroundings and basically, I could see every movement within hundred meters.
Speaking of which, although I only met my Master Xiao Chen once, but his gift was just so huge. I had to use it well and be a good person. If not I would have failed him.
…
Just like that, we walked north for over 40 minutes. Along the way, we could see many players but the further north we went, the fewer players there were. 30 minutes later, apart from us, there were no other players. The monster levels went from 50+ to 90+.
Ahead, snowflakes started to drop. Not far away, a human race sentry appeared in our field of sight.
“Adventurer!”
A cavalry rode out with the Xuanyuan Empire’s emblem, “The Marquis has given orders that it is Dimension Legion Territory ahead, no one is allowed to enter!”
Lin Xi took out a golden token, “I have a pass.”
“Oh?”
The cavalry took a look, “Since all of you have passed the city trials then go on ahead. I hope that all of you gain something in that evil land. Apart from that, be careful of those demons. They have been tempted to attack recently.”
“Great.”
Lin Xi smiled towards me, “Let’s go, let’s start hunting those demons.”
My mouth twitched, “Damn, so you were just bringing us to hunt demons?”
“Of course.”
She looked unfazed and her eyes were filled with confidence, “I think that I have become stronger and Linchen County isn’t enough so I can only head to Dimension Legion Territory.”
Her tone changed, “Moreover if we head to Dimension Legion Territory, the reputation we gain is double. The experience is also quite a lot and it is much better than training in Linchen County. Sometimes we might get some quests. I heard that a few parties of Elements have been training inside.”
“How did you get the pass?” I asked.
“In the city, I used 2000 reputation points.”
“Amazing…”
…
Just like that, we left the Linchen County sentry. Under Lin Xi’s leadership, we walked deep into Dimension Legion Territory. The monsters were now at least level 80. Tony’s face started to turn green. He was only level 68 and when Lin Xi shared their stats to the group, his body shuddered. Maybe he felt like we were trying too hard.
At that moment, a human race cavalry appeared. He was covered in armor and he shouted towards us, “Kids, are you tired of living?”
“En?”
Lin Xi brought us over.
The cavalry took off his helmet and it was a white-haired old man that looked really energetic. His aura was strong too and there was a line of words above his head–
Cavalry Chief Kalu (Unique Grade NPC)
Level: 100
Introduction: Linchen County North Camp Cavalry Chief, he is really strong and is in charge of hunting in this region. Many demons died under his spear.
…
“Sir, we are here to train.”
Lin Xi blinked and spoke to the NPC seriously.
“Train?”
He had a proud look on his face, “Just the few of you? Okay, if you want me to believe you then kill 500 Bonecrushers in the west. If you can’t do that, I will personally send you back. We have already lost so many adventurers and can’t lose more!”
“Ding!”
System notification: Obtained quest First Trial (A Grade)!
Quest contents: Head towards the west wilderness and hunt 500 Bonecrushers. When you return, the Cavalry Chief Kalu will give all of you generous rewards!
…
“Really a quest!”
Lin Xi smiled happily, “Now you know!”
She looked so uncertain from the start but I couldn’t expose her in case she poked me with Hellfire. Shen Mingxuan held her orange bow, “Let’s go. What is this Bonecrushers, I have never heard of that before. Linchen County doesn’t have this monster.”
“Humanshaped demon, C Grade strength.”
Lin Xi smiled, “Let’s go, this quest isn’t too hard.”
