Chapter 105

TL: Maybe the last chapter of the day, not sure…

On the map, Green Qilin Valley is just a giant piece of green in Ba Huang City’s northwest border . This ought to be the lush forest valley zone; a forest is a suitable environment for the growth of many herbs .

With my Jade City sword sheathed and Baby Bobo next to me, I step outside Ba Huang city . The Ice Fire Cloak ripples behind me as I move forward . My face is shrouded by the Fire Beacon Helmet . The players that are 5 levels below me will not be able to perceive my face or my ID . However, my level is not too high and therefore, the number of people that can see my ID are plentiful and can be found everywhere .

“Ding!”

A message comes from Glass Fox: “Boss Xiao Yao, are you going out to train?

“Yes, what’s up?”

“Well… . . ” Fox seems to be searching for the correct words to say: “If you find a high level ore, remember to keep it . I learned metal refining, Small Wolf learned ore mining, and Old K learned metal forging . In my opinion, this game’s most precious items are weapons, accessories, and armor . Therefore I will become a top quality blacksmith and create Ba Huang City’s strongest weapons… . ”

I can’t help but laugh: “Ok, good luck! When I come back with ore, I will place it in my warehouse for you guys to use . Oh right! Where are you guys?”

“We’re leaving Ba Huang City to go to the highlands and level . We are also trying to farm gold . A level 27 healer is with us and he just wants every cloth armor and staffs that drops .

“Ok, you guys get busy! Go for it!”

“Okay!”

… . .

After encouraging my studio members, I enter Ba Huang forest alone . If one wants to go to Green Qilin Valley, one would have to pass through the vast Ba Huang Forest . Dammit . It takes 90 minutes to get to Green Qilin Valley . Unfortunately, even the highest player level is still too low to trigger the mount system . Otherwise, riding a colt would get me there many times faster .

After a little while of walking, I hear another “Ding!” sound . A message comes from Yue Qing Qian: “Brother Xiao Yao!”

“Hmm? Qing Qian, what’s the matter?

“Ok!”

Yue Qing Qian opens her calling function and her sweet voice comes through: “Brother Xiao Yao . I control the entirety of Prague’s information system . A few minutes ago, I received news that a 10 man team from [Wrath of the Heroes] have set their sights on you . You need to be careful . No matter where you are going to level, the Tyrant of Western Chu will chase you and try to kill you…”

I raise my eyebrows: “Wow, They really have a lot of dedication to kill me . ”

“Where are you going?”

“A very far away place that takes approximately 100 minutes to walk to . There will probably be monsters ranging from Lv 40 – 70 . ”

“Hehe!” Yue Qing Qian laughs: “Great! It seems like I was worried for no reason . The [Wrath of the Heroes] guild has over a 1000 members . It is said that the Tyrant of Western Chu gives his members wages every week . However, their average level is only about 39 . They shouldn’t be much of a threat to you right now . Furthermore, they probably won’t chase you too far . I estimate that only a few men would even dare to try to follow you . I’m relieved!”

“Haha . Thank you for worrying about me . It’s nothing that I can’t take care of . ”

“Ok . Good luck leveling!

… . .

Closing the calling function, I see that Yue Qing Qian has already reached Lv 47 . She levels so fast . I am only Lv 45 and ranked 45th in Ba Huang City . I must work harder!

“Rustle…”

My Silver Locked Battle Boots step on jungle bushes as I proceed forward . At the same time, I look behind me and see a group of players . Two Assassins carrying daggers shadow me while a Wind Elf Archer flies in the sky . The Lv 41 Wind Elf can fly up to a height of 20 yards, so finding me was inevitable .

“Ugh… . ”

I let out a slight groan . Without acknowledging my stalkers, I pick up the pace . My sword waves back and forth as I activate my Lv 5 [Haste] . I immediately gain 5% movement speed and 10 % attack speed . The Assassins notice this and start running after me . Their steps start gaining on me . Their speed is indeed worthy of Assassins, the quickest class in 《Destiny》 .

I look around and see that there seems to be something inside the forest!

“Bang!”

My Boots land on a fallen tree trunk covered with vegetation then I turn my body and roll into a patch small white flowers . Catapulting forward and kicking up a cloud of dust, I, wisely break from my straight path .

“Huh?”

The two assassins look around confused and rush over to chase me!

“Roar… . ”

The two Assassins pause and one of them gets hit by a Lv 47 Ashen Bear in the head and falls to the ground . It bites the Assassin 3 times and the Assassin dies .

“Damn!”

The other assassins turns to fight the bear . With a stab, a MISS appears . The Ashen Bear bites down on the Assassin and with a swipe of its sharp claws, the other Assassin dies .

Listening to the screams from behind me, I can’t help but laugh . This verifies my calculations . Being Lv 45, I would attract aggro from the monsters 25 meters around me . Unfortunately for them, the Assassins have not even reached a 40 yet thus attract aggro within 30 meters . With the help of the Lv 47 power-type Ashen Bear, the two block heads are dead . I let someone else do the dirty work for me!

In the sky, the Lv 41 Wind Elf archer flies into a rage . As he readies his bow, he angrily yells out: “Those two blockheads unexpectedly got themselves killed . Dammit . Xiao Yao, where can you escape to? Do you really believe that the [Wrath of the Heroes] will let you stay in Ba Huang City free and undisturbed?”

[TL: This is a pun on his name since his name Xiao Yao also means free and unfettered . ]

“Whoosh!”

In the sky, a [Fire Arrow] flies through the air . I am not fast enough to dodge it . As my back warms up, a big number appears—

174!

Although unimpressive, the Archer’s attack couldn’t be considered low . He probably pumped all of his stats into agility or otherwise he wouldn’t have this kind of attacking power .

Immediately, the Archer continues to fire . The bow string’s “Twang!” echoes through the air . He uses his 2nd promotion skill —— [Triple Arrow] . Each arrow does a different amount of damage, 55%, 65% and 75% damage each . My back receives a series of arrows . It really hurts .

112!

131!

152!

… .

Watching my health drop as I endure the attacks, I could not restrain myself . With one [Heal], I gain 750 HP, filling up my health bar .

The Archer in the sky is angry enough to almost vomit blood . However, he kept his alertness and continued to fly around at 15 yards above ground . That’s the ideal height for Wind Elves to travel at the fastest speed in the skies, any higher and their speed would take a toll .

“Damn it, his defense stats are really high . However, don’t expect to survive my attacks just like that!”

I hear the whisk of the wind behind me and the Archer began a series of vicious arrow attacks . Simultaneously, a few visible blue dots on the map appear to be coming towards me at a rapid pace . Without doubt, they are the Wind Elf players in [Wrath of the Heroes], the other races are definitely incapable of that kind of speed .

Taking a glance, I finally see the guy’s ID–

Willow Shore Lv 41 Silver Archer

……

No, this cannot go on . I must find an opportunity to get rid of this guy as soon as possible . Otherwise, once the other players come his aid, I won’t be able to get away easily . Saying that, it would still be difficult for them to kill me with my 1022 defense .

Squinting my eyes, I find a tree, uprooted by the wind, and lying slanted on the slope just in front of me . Immediately, an idea comes to my mind, I could make use of the terrain here!

“Shua!”

Recalling Baby Bobo back into my inventory, I lower both of my knees and slide swiftly towards the tree, leaving a deep trail in the grass behind me . My whole body goes through a gap beneath the big tree, instantly causing the Archer above to loose vision of me .

“Trying to run away?I will drag you out and slaughter you even if you dig a hole in the ground!”

From the sky, Willow Shore shouts furiously and flies over with his longbow, his body positioned in the sky just above the big tree .

……

“Hua!”

Suddenly, I slide out from beneath the tree . Carrying my Jade City Sword, I step on the tree branches and rush towards him . Pah pah pah, my boots leave scar after scar on the tree branch . Pah! Making use of my great strength and agility, I leap and surge towards him with great speed like an arrow being shot into the sky . I jumped almost an entire 20 yards up . Who says that Human Swordsmen are unable to fly!

“Weng!”

My Jade City Sword quivers, charging for two seconds!

Willow Shore widens his eyes in shock . Seeing me jump up into the sky right in front of him, the longbow in his arms shivers . His face stiffens up as he says, “Crap, I fell into his trap…”

The edges of my mouth arch upwards as my [Wind Blade] tears through in front of me: “Die!”

“Peng!”

Hearing the crisp sound of the blade of the sword tearing through his body, Willow Shore’s body seemingly shreds apart in an instant with a large damage number floating upwards–

1007!

It is a fatal blow, the defenses of these cloth classes are unable to withstand my attacks!

“Keng!”

Sheathing my sword, I summon Baby Bobo and dive into the bushes filled with wild flower behind me . Crawling forward a few meters, I enter the forest and thus managing to shake the [Wrath of the Heroes] players off my trail . Those flies are really annoying .

……

Indeed, after killing a Wind Elf Archer, the other Wind Elves of [Wrath of the Heroes] dare not be arrogant enough to think that the skies are a completely safe territory for them . Also, the fact holds that I could simply use Baby Bobo’s ability to fly to get rid of them but I chose not to and instead, using my Jade City Sword to strike fear into the enemy .

On the big map, the small blue dots gradually disappear . Most of the monsters in the region are around Lv 45-48 range, considerably high for our current stage . Ordinary players are probably unable to get by in this area . After much consideration, I look around for monsters that are between Lv 50 and 55, as for me, killing monsters that are around 5-10 levels above my level can be considered relatively safe and the efficiency in which I can earn EXP is also high .

After around an hour, I walk out of Ba Huang Forest .

Standing at the edge of the forest, a large plain appears in front of me . Beyond the plains, slightly further, would be the mountainous regions formed in the ancient times and the Green Qilin Valley lies in the midst of these mountains .

On the plains, there are many wolves that are howling . Lv 49, looks like the monsters within the Green Qilin Valley would definitely be over Lv 50 . Damn it, looks like it will be another journey that is filled with danger . However, for the Lv 6 Green Qilin Grass and gold coins, everything will be worth it .

Carrying my Jade City Sword, I determinedly surge forward .
