Virtual World: Conquering the World

"Pa, pa!"

The Bloodthirsty Spear attacked twice with a red glow, making the Tomb Guard tremble.  It dealt 546 and 621 damage at the same time, so it was considered alright.

The Tomb Guard attacked very quickly and it attacked when I retreated.  I couldn't avoid it in time and was hit with a slash, losing more than five hundred HP!

I gritted my teeth and immediately reversed the Bloodthirsty Spear, sending out an Ice Wind Thorn.  The ice danced and the Tomb Guard suddenly trembled as tiny bits of ice crystals congealed on it as its movement speed dropped by 62.5%.  Of course, the reason for this number was because the 50% drop of the Ice Wind Thorn with the Frozen Heart was increased by 25%!

The decrease in movement speed only lasted 15 seconds, so I kept retreating while healing p and taking out the Star Chasing Bow, sending out the armour piercing arrows.  When the Tomb Guard recovered from the frost, I changed to the Bloodthirsty Spear to release the Ice Wind Thorn.  By continuing like this, I minimized my loss!

It took me close to five minutes to take care of this Elite Monster that was hard to finish.  My experience suddenly increased by 2% and although this Tomb Guard didn't drop equipment, it gave me ten gold coins!

I was feeling pleased as I picked up the gold coins.  Looking over, there was another Tomb Guard that was charging over with his sword!

"Pa!"

There was pain that came from my chest as I was sent flying, hitting the wall and losing close to a thousand HP!

I was a bit surprised.  But then I realized that the Tomb Guard was an Elite Monster and it was level 55, so its attack had been increased by quite a bit, it was no wonder it could take this much HP from me!

"Pu!"

With a soft sound, the Bloodthirsty Spear released ice flowers like a dragon jumping out of the sea, suddenly hitting the Tomb Guard's chest, but I never thought that there would be a "miss" that would appear above the Tomb Guard's head!

I was shocked.  Damn, isn't this too much of a joke?

"Chi la!"

There was pain in my arm as the attack from the Tomb Guard actually threw me out of the tomb!

When I looked again, my HP had already been reduced to less than 1000.  I quickly swallowed a health potion and used a heal on myself, only adding a pitiful "152" HP to myself.  Compared to the heals from Purple Rhyme, it really was far from being able to compare!

But at a critical moment, even a bit of HP was good.  After all, there was a cooldown for using potions and I couldn't keep drinking potions without end, so it was good to add even a little bit!

"Jie, jie!"

There was a terrifying roar that came out and the Tomb Guard had followed me out.  Before it could attack, I attacked first and released an Ice Wind Thorn!

"1287!"

With more ice, this Ice Wind Thorn worked and the Tomb Guard was slowed down by the ice!

I quickly retreated and sent out the armour piercing arrows, while also firing ice and fire arrows without hesitation.  Anyway I sent out all my skills that would deal damage, but how much damage it did was another story.

This time was even harder.  Just to kill this Tomb Guard, I spent over twenty health potions in just ten minutes.  When the Bloodthirsty Spear created a hole in its chest, I let out a sigh of relief!

"Hua la!"

There were gold and silver coins that fell to the ground, but there was also a silver glowing ring that fell!

I couldn't help being pleasantly surprised as I went forward to collect my spoils.  There was no need to mention the gold coins, the silver ring actually swept my mind away.

[Blood Sucking Ring] (Silver Equipment —— Ring)

Strength: +15

Vitality: +12

Additional: For every close range attack, it can absorb 3% of the damage as the user's HP.

Required level: 40

(Unidentified)

…...

Damn, it was actually a piece of lifesteal equipment!

I was filled with joy, this lifesteal ring actually was this strong even though it was unidentified.  It seems like I really was suited for close range combat!  After all, 3% wasn't a small number.  This meant that if I dealt 1000 points of damage, I could heal 30 HP.  This was equal to having a noob healer with me and I could level without healing myself!

Feeling overjoyed, I immediately went deeper into the Tomb of Fear.  Perhaps there would be more mysteries inside.

So holding the Bloodthirsty Spear, I went into the Tomb of Fear again.  This time there weren't any Tomb Guards blocking the way and when I reached the next floor of the tomb, I found that there was a very specious tomb inside.  The corpse of the dead no longer existed here and there were corpse eating ghosts wandering around!

[Evil Scavenger] (Enhanced Monster)

Level: 50

Attack: 450-580

Defense: 100

HP: 8000

Additional: Plague attack, can induce a dark poison on target.

…...

I was stunned, these corpse eating ghosts wandering the tomb were also enhanced!  Their attacks had increased by 30 and their HP and defenses were also slightly higher!

But to me, this didn't mean anything, this just meant their experience had increased.

The corpse eating ghosts in the room were rather spread out, so I used the Star Chasing Bow to draw one over.  Then I changed to the Bloodthirsty Spear and a red light appeared from it, as I hit the corpse eating ghost's chest with a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers!

"1204!"

"1185!"

The corpse eating ghost's defense wasn't that good, it was already tattered at first contact.

I quickly released an Ice Wind Thorn and I was too lazy to draw away to fight.  After all, it was only a corpse eating ghost and the Bronze Equipment that I had could block it!

After a while, the corpse eating ghost turned into experience and three gold coins!

Picking up the gold coins, I looked up and found that in the center of the tomb not far away, there was a human soldier that was under a gray stone.  He brandished his sword as he warily looked at the surrounding corpse eating ghosts.  In front of him was a gold glowing ancient book that seemed to be keeping the surrounding corpse eating ghosts from tearing him apart.

I was a bit happy.  It seems like there was experience to gain from here!

I immediately went forward and cleared out the corpse eating ghosts in front of me.  When I appeared in front of the soldier, his hopeless eyes suddenly lit up with hop and he grabbed my hand!

I was stunned.  It can't be, this wasn't an inspection from a superior, why did you need to act this familiar…...

At this time, the soldier opened his dry lips and said, "Adventurer who came from afar, can you help me with something?"

There was no reason to not help, so I chose to accept.

"Ding~!"

System notification: You have accepted the quest [Tomb of Fear Plot].  (Current difficulty: 375)

Quest details: The human alliance's outstanding soldier Ma Su has been injured and there are many dangerous beings in this Tomb of Fear.  You need to investigate the tomb and pay attention to the inscriptions inside the tomb.  When you've found the seventh chapter of the inscriptions, you will find an evil spirit.  Kill it and bring its walking stick to Ma Su.

…...

It seems like this quest could only be completed by killing a boss!

I looked into the distance and found that there was a small and dark passage leading deeper into the tomb, but there were quite a few corpse eating ghosts walking around along the way.

The path of the quest was also the path of leveling.

I immediately headed off.  I couldn't display the might of my bow in a small space like this, so I changed to the Bloodthirsty Spear, using the Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers and the Ice Wind Thorn as soon as I came forward.  The corpse eating ghost at the entrance was routed and it turned into gold coins and experience with a howl in less than a minute.

I continued forward and this place was dark, but the red eyes of the corpse eating ghosts told me their locations.  I killed them one by one before slowly pushing forward.

In less than ten minutes, I had already killed twelve corpse eating ghosts, but I also consumed quite a few potions.  The 580 attack power of the corpse eating ghosts couldn't be ignored and my defense still wasn't that good.  If it was Ling Xue, that would have been better.  Not only did Ling Xue have the Silver Strong Gale Set, she also had the broken Flame Shield.  To be honest, these corpse eating ghosts might not be able to break Ling Xue's defense.

Suddenly I had an idea, could Dragon Whisperers equip shields?

Perhaps I should buy a trash shield and try it when I return to the city!

At this time, I looked up to see faint glowing words on the wall in front of me.  When I came close, I found that there was a magic array design on the wall, which was the inscription found inside this tomb for the quest!

Of course, I couldn't understand these ancient words at all.  I didn't know how many countries' ancient words were mixed, but there were a few that seemed like ancient Chinese words.

When I touched the words, there was a "ding dong" sound that rang in my ears!

System notification: You have found 1 inscription, there are still 6 left!

…...

Un, the quest was one seventh of the way done.

I continued forward and the corpse eating ghosts along the way became experience points.  I had to say that the experience from the monsters here really were good, the level 50 to level 55 corpse eating ghosts only had 8000 HP, they weren't anything under my attack skills, but the gold and experience they dropped really made it hard to close the smile on my lips.

Time passed bit by bit and soon it was six in the morning in real life!

But I continued on the path in the tomb for a long time.  I had already found six of the inscriptions, I would be able to find the final boss with just one more!

I couldn't help feeling a little excited.  I had met the Skeleton King at the end of the Netherworld Cavern who gave me a Light Flow Sword, I had killed the Ancient Ghost General in the Ancient Ghost Tomb which had been complicated.  Not only did it give me the Dark Gold Purple Wind Ring and the Roaring Flame Spear, it had even given me the Hidden Job Dragon Whisperer, but it also made my level return to zero.

Just what kind of pleasant surprise would the boss in front of me give now?

However, before I had time to solve this puzzle, I heard the voices of players from outside.

"Yi?  Big brother, there seems to be someone who was here!"

I was a bit surprised as I complained!  There was always someone who interrupted at the last moment!

I quickly moved back to the entrance of the tunnel to hide and found there were more than ten players that had arrived.  The one leading them was a level 42 Berserker called Flying Fire.

Flying Fire?  I thought for a bit and suddenly remembered. Isn't this the brother who had supported our Xue Yue on the forums?

Under the attack of Fated, this friend had come out to spit out quite a bit for our Xue Yue!  Last time, when I killed the group of assassins from Fated, they were saying that they had PKed some Flying Fire Link City.  This Flying Fire Link City's boss seemed to be Flying Fire!

I didn't make a sound and Flying Fire looked around before saying with a smile, "It must be some expert who came here, otherwise it was impossible for the group of corpse eating ghosts outside to be killed.  This is also good, let's finish this quest and head back.  Everyone is tired, let's rest early!"

A young person beside Flying Fire asked, "Big brother, could it be…..that Fated's people were here doing the quest?  We were just ambushed by them this afternoon and you were level 43….."

Flying Fire couldn't help revealing a faint smile as he said, "So what if I lose a level, haven't you heard?  The number one expert Easily Angered Bookworm fell down to level zero, but news spread tonight that he is already level 35!  What kind of realm is this, you should learn from him!"

That young person laughed, "Un, Easily Angered Bookworm really is good!  He dared to fight Fated alone and only suffered that one time when he fell back to level zero, he made them suffer in all other fights!  Our Flying Fire Link City lacks someone as talented as him……"

Flying Fire just laughed, "Don't belittle yourselves.  There seems to be a NPC with a quest over there, let's take it together and finish the quest."

"Alright!"

The Flying Fire Link City players all came over and accepted the quest one by one, which was the same quest as me.

And there was a line that appeared in my quest log.

System notification: Please take note, there are 14 players who have accepted this quest.  Only the first five players who receive the walking stick can complete this quest!

…...

I was a bit surprised, there was actually competition for this quest?

But there was another group who entered the Tomb of Fear at this time!

"Ha!  The people of Flying Fire Link City are also here!"

The one leading them had an extravagant sword.  He looked over the Flying Fire Link City people and revealed an arrogant stance!

Flying Fire's face turned cold as he said, "So the Bloodthirsty Guild also knows about the quest here!"

The one who came was the Bloodthirsty boss, Bloodthirsty World!

In Sunset City Bloodthirsty World and Fated Madman were wearing the same pants, this was a matter that everyone knew.  Flying Fire Link City was fighting Fated, so their relationship with Bloodthirsty wouldn't be that good.

As expected, right after that, with a look from Bloodthirsty World, the twenty players under him scattered.  They surrounded Flying Fire's group and both sides raised their weapons as they prepared to fight!
