Chapter 457: Exploding bird
“Shua!”
After lunch, I appeared on the ice steps once more. Ahead were many Ice Demons that roamed around the cold world. Snowflakes descended from above and I felt like my goosebumps were standing up. This place was really cold and it really was worthy of the name Ice Bird Nest. That Fierce Bird Dafeng’s brain was probably smashed by a door? Even if it wanted to occupy a nest, it should have chosen a warm place. It chose such a freezing place, its brain was probably spoiled.
Lin Xi wasn’t online yet.
I took this chance to charge forwards. The moment I sued Dark Shadow Jump, I raised my hand to summon Orange Night and White Bird. The puppets split into two paths to clash with the Ice Demons. After summoning the puppets, we were much quicker and I would be able to challenge 9 at once. In a blink of an eye, the Ice Demons turned into corpses and gold which lay on the ground.
“Scoff, so weak…”
I walked forwards to pick the gold up.
The moment I stood up, I sensed a pair of eyes looking at me. I turned around and as expected, Lin Xi was holding the White Dragon Sword behind me. By her side was her pet Flame Deer. It was now mature and it was even taller than Lin Xi. Its horns burnt bright and it blinked its huge eyes.
“That…”
Lin Xi looked at my two puppets and said, “Are these the legendary battle puppets?”
“Eh ah…”
I knew I couldn’t hide it anymore so I said solemnly to the puppets, “Orange Night, White Bird come and say hi!”
I pointed at Lin Xi, “Orange Night, call boss.”
Orange Night held the demon spear and his eyes were filled with fighting intent. He walked forwards like a war god and said respectfully, “Boss!”
Lin Xi laughed.
I looked towards White Bird and said, “White Bird, come and call her sister.”
“…”
White Bird’s eyes were blur and she didn’t say a word. She just looked at me and didn’t do anything.
“Oh?”
Lin Xi tilted her head and looked at White Bird.
“She looks like she doesn’t listen to orders, is your power not enough? Or rather… Is the puppet’s loyalty too low?”
“No.”
I was a little awkward, “White Bird is a little weird, she isn’t a normal puppet.”
“Oh…”
Lin Xi looked at White Bird with the White Dragon Sword in her hands and her eyes had a complicated gaze that I couldn’t understand.
White Bird also looked at her, she raised her chin slightly and her eyes actually had a bit of pride now. The broken sword gave out streaks of blue lightning.
What was going on? Did she want to fight?
I was stunned, “What are you two doing?”
“No worries.”
Lin Xi shook her head and smiled, “This puppet is really different, they are totally different from the puppets from naruto.”
“Right, the puppets in Illusionary Moon are like real humans just that their bodies were made of metal.”
“En.”
Lin Xi nodded, “Let’s continue. Can your puppets defeat the Ice Demons?”
“Small matter.”
“Okay, let’s continue.”
…
Thus, we continued to climb the steps. Although White Bird wasn’t willing to speak but when I ordered her to attack, she charged out like an arrow and smashed these Ice Demons alongside Orange Night.
In less than ten minutes, when Lin Xi and I pushed forwards, the Ice Demons were nowhere to be seen. What replaced them were sword-holding human-shaped monsters that were covered in ice armor. Under their sharp helmets were dark blue eyes that stared right at us.

…
The monsters went from level 110 to 113, the jump was huge.
Lin Xi looked at the Ice Swordsman and was a little shocked, “What is their level? I can’t see…”
“Level 113.”
I shared their stats to the party.
“They jumped 3 levels at once?”
We are hosted novel, find us on google.
She opened her mouth slightly and then looked towards me, “You really can see the stats of monsters more than 5 levels higher than you. Do you have a skill?”
“Not a skill but an ability.”
I didn’t hide anything from her, “En, if you look at my right eye, is it different from my left.”
I used Shifang Flame Spiral Eye.
She stared in my eye, “No… No changes?”
“You are looking at the wrong one, that’s the left eye.”
“Damn!”
She rolled her eyes at me and then looked towards the other. She opened her eyes wide, “Really… There really is a change like I am looking a deep abyss, that is quite frightening…”
“En.”
I nodded and shared the stats with her, “Please keep this a secret!
“I know!”
She held her sword and looked at the Ice Swordsmen in front, “You have two puppets helping so… I will draw 4 and you help to tank more and draw 6. The able will do more, it will help speed up the process.”
“En!”
…
In the next moment, Lin Xi used Assault to fly forwards. She used Wind Chasing Stab to stun three Ice Swordsmen but the fourth screamed and slashed her shoulder. It was Ice Sealing Slash. In the next moment, frost spread around her body and she was sealed.
“Not good~~”
I frowned, “Ice Sealing Slash does both damage and seals, we need to be careful.”
“En.”
She nodded, “No worries, the Ice Sealing Slash has at least 0.5 seconds of channel time, if I focus I can dodge it.”
“En, I will attack now!”
I brushed past Lin Xi and led my two puppets into the group of Ice Swordsmen. I attracted 6 at once and then slashed the monsters with my dagger. Once an Ice Swordsman’s sword started to be covered in ice, I would move back. The system of Ice Sealing Slash was that the moment it was channeled, it had to be used or the ice sealing power would disappear. In the end, after seeing how I dodged the slash, White Bird actually dodged one. Only Orange Night this dummy continued to attack and once it got sealed it just said that it was unlucky. If the Ice Sealing Slash missed then it would say that it was strong.
Basically, the chance of it sealing Lin Xi and I was 30-40% while it was higher for White Bird and Orange Night. They were basic monsters so even if they were high level than us, they wouldn’t suppress us.
Just like that, after killing 6 Ice Swordsmen, my experience bar jumped. I was killing monsters 7 levels higher than me and I was being the main damage dealer so I leveled really quickly. Orange Night and White Bird gained much experience too. I looked at Orange Night at 14% Grade Six while White Bird was 95% Grade Five. Overall, White Bird was much harder to level but after this quest, she should be upgraded. After all, a Starlight Tier quest gave huge rewards.
However, I was a little worried. We were less than halfway done and level 113 monsters had appeared. Wouldn’t it get worse? The final boss Dafeng might make Lin Xi and I cry?
“Lin Xi!”
I walked in front and said, “Do you think we can defeat Dafeng?”
“Hard to say.”
She walked at the back and said, “I think… Dafeng is at least a Legacy Grade Boss, red boss, it is a little tough… I haven’t come into contact with one.”
“Of course…”
I was speechless, “No one got the Legacy Grade first kill. If we can kill Dafeng, then it would be the first kill.”
“En, let’s try our best!”
“Okay.”
…
Just like that, we continued up the stairs and behind us were many dense Ice Swordsmen corpses. At around 3pm, along with me using Dark Shadow Jump, the moment an Ice Swordsman fell, a golden skill book landed on the ground!
“En?”
I knew that this book was definitely good. I picked it up, as expected, I wasn’t disappointed–
Ice Sealing Slash (SS Grade Skillbook): Channel the power of ice and deal 400% damage at most to the target and seal them in ice for 3 seconds. In that state, the target will obtain 25% damage reduction. Required job: Warrior, required level: 100
…
“Lin Xi look!”
I shared the stats into the sky.
“Ah?”
Lin Xi opened her mouth and looked at it in shock, “It is actually an SS Tier Skill, I didn’t expect that!”
“En.”
I passed it to her, “Let’s split by need, your skillbook so it is yours.”
“I…”
She held it and looked at me. She wanted to say something but stopped.
“What happened?” I asked.
She sighed, “Why can’t I just treat you viciously?”
I was stunned and then kept silent. After a few seconds, I said, “Sorry Lin Xi…”
“You…”
She gritted her teeth, “You left me for so long so why didn’t you think about coming back yourself?”
“because…”
I was filled with emotions and I just stood in the storm. I didn’t feel cold at all, “Because I am ashamed…”
“You don’t have to face it because you are ashamed?”
She was so furious her shoulders shook, “Today no matter whether or not we can complete this, bring your brother Ah Fei over to With You. Let’s talk this out face to face.”
“Okay…”
Instantly my heart felt like it was totally relaxed, like a 500 kg stone was removed. I held her shoulder and said, “Don’t be angry, you are like a furious bird that is going to explode. Just be a little angry.”
She smiled, “You are the exploding bird… Okay let’s continue to level, let’s speed up.”
“En.”
