“How do we we get there?” Who’s Blue asked.
Dong Cheng Yue laughed faintly: “It’s simple, we just have to use our cloaks as cloth ropes, and simply swing it over the chain to slide down. This iron chain’s incline is steep enough, so there shouldn’t be any problems. This is the only path, so we have to go this way.”
Fox mused aloud: “Or we could try to get on the iron chain and walk across……”
Wan Er couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Uncle, do you think you are an acrobat? What if you fell……”
Fox’s face was all purple: “Uncle? I’m only a little older than Li Xiao Yao……”
Yue Qing Qian hefted her dagger and said casually: “ Who cares. You’re still an uncle……”
Fox’s face was white: “I can’t even talk to you guys anymore……”
……
“Hua!”
I suddenly pulled the Cloak of Disillusionment on my back and fold it into one cloth rope. Holding it with both hands, I asked, “Don’t waste time anymore, I’ll be in front. Everyone come and follow me. It’s just a small part of the map. We won’t be frightened by that much, will we?”
“Yeah, be careful!” Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue replied in unison, laughing.
Stepping back a few steps, I suddenly leapt forward. With my cloak, I landed on the iron rope accurately and my whole body started sliding down the iron chain. Behind me, Lin Wan Er, Yue Qing Qian and the other girls followed along. Dong Cheng Yue and Matcha were no longer able to fly either. Wind Elves in this case, their advantage of flying would be affected by the vast vertical distance between them and the ground. In this area’s altitude, they would also fall from the sky, unable to fly.
In the air, the wind blew hard against our ears as the nine of us slid down the metal chain, like the vines of a morning glory entwining around a fence. After descending from such a height, a flash of light appeared before us, revealing a sea of stars. As visibility improved, at the middle of the shimmering stars lay four floating pieces of land. Our next path was confirmed!
As Lin Wan Er looked into the distance, her beautiful eyes were filled with wonder as she laughed: “It’s so beautiful… these four suspended maps are truly the workmanship of the heavens; like a heavenly palace in storybooks, it’s exceedingly magnificent……”
Dong Cheng Yue laughed lightly: “These maps should be the Mohist Sect’s inheritance, Elder Yun Chen’s masterpiece right? Besides him, nobody else would be able to create such a heavenly map……”
Fox let out a cough and said, “ The specialty of the Mohist Sect is machinery and traps. Constructions and buildings are most likely the work of Lu Ban descendants.”
TL: Lu Ban is a extremely well known craftsmen who was famous for his architecture
Dong Cheng Yue’s face grew cold: “Uncle, go die. Stop being smart……”
Yue Qing Qian couldn’t keep from snorting, then she burst out into laughter, her graceful body shaking in the air. In the starry sky, her figure was quite beautiful.
……
The first area was steadily getting closer and when I was about ten meters off the ground, I let go of the cloak with my right hand and unsheathed my Frost Rain Sword.
“”Peng!”
My purple boots, upon contact with the ground stirred up clouds of dust. Taking advantage of my inertia, I charged forward. In my ear I heard a voice—
“Ding!”
System Notice: You have entered the SSS-rank map — 【Dragon’s Temple First Floor】. Please take caution!
……
Behind me, Lin Wan Er, Dong Cheng Yue and the others touched down too. A row of 9 people stood silently on this ghost town of a map. This entire land floated on the ocean of stars, not giving any sense of security. Holding my Frost Rain Sword, I continued marching onwards. Darling Duck immediately cast a Lv 6 [Encourage], raising my attack damage by 6%, it was better than nothing.
“A monster appeared…”
Yue Qing Qian pointed at the direction of a dried up patch of overgrown grass. A figure slowly walked around. That’s a humanoid creature. It looked like a giant lizard but with arms, its body was covered with a scaly armor, and it wielded a broadsword. On its back were sharp and scaly protrusions, causing the creature to look like its back was full of swords. On its hideous head, was a purple helmet. A pair of aggressive eyes looked at us from far away. That’s right, it’s a monster. Likewise, the monsters in this SSS rank map had a strength that was far beyond the ordinary—
【Dark Draconian】 (Elite Monster)
Level: 62
Attack: 1180-1540
Defence: 1000
Health: 12000
Skill:【Thrust】【Dark Slash】【Dragon’s Spirit】
Introduction: In legends, Dark Draconians are said to be the descendants of the Dragon Tribe and Heavenly Tribe. They have enormous vitality. These Draconians were sealed in the Dragon’s Temple for over tens of thousands of years. Pure hatred filled their meaning of existence, causing them to become extremely aggressive. This, however gives them the perfect role as one of the guardians in the Dragon’s Temple.
……
“Good boy… Good boy…” Fox said gently. “In the Five Barbarians Desolate Tomb, there were Lv 60 Elite Monsters with 9000 health. It’s not peculiar for this map’s Lv 62 Elite Monsters to have 12000 health! But… I don’t think I could break through that 1000 defense… ”
Wielding her dagger, Lin Wan Er calmly said, “ Nevermind. Xiao Yao and I are enough to take them on. You can just take it easy… ”
Fox said with tears in his eyes, “I may be suspected of leeching, but don’t look down on me to that extent… ”
I smiled and said, “ Ok, that’s enough guys. Stop teasing Fox. I’ll go ahead first to test the Draconians’ defense and attack power. Everyone be careful.”
“Yes!”
……
Wielding my Frost Rain Sword, I charged forward, immediately using [Fierce Ice Blade]. At the same time I took damage from the Draconian’s first attack!
“1764!”
“312!”
Fox gasped. “Hell, that 1000 defense was so easily broken by Xiao Yao… ”
My sword glowed with multiple hexagrams, I released a [Combo]. Slicing and dicing the enemy, Dong Cheng Yue, and Fox started dishing out their attacks too. In a mere few seconds, the Dark Draconian’s health already dropped to around 30%!
“Hou… ”
With a sound similar to a dragon’s roar, the Draconian activated its third skill—[Dragon’s Spirit]! Momentarily, a gigantic apparition of a dragon’s talon flew down from the sky, sharply increasing the Draconian’s attack. The broadsword swung horizontally across. A [Dark Slash] hit my chest!
917!
……
“Ah…”
Yuzi Chengshuo said with her tiny mouth agape, “That’s not good… [Dragon’s Spirit] raised its attack by at least 50%. We must kill it as quickly as possible!”
