Carrying my Jade City Sword, I move carefully towards the location indicated on the map. After walking for around 10 minutes, the land in front of me starts going downwards and looking downwards, in the middle of the valley below, there’s a large basin — Slayer’s Basin.
Yet another map within a map! Standing at the edge of the basin, I look towards the horizon. I could see thick black smoke rising up and at least tens of thousands simple and crude tents spreading out sporadically within the basin. Each and every Dark Dwarf, all possessing a beard, is busy doing something. Some were busy crafting some kind of weapon and some were stripping the skins of their hunts. More importantly, all of their names were red, indicating that they were the monsters I needed to hunt to complete my quest!
“Sha…”
My Battle Boots begin to move and I slide down along the edges of the basin. At the same time, my Dawn Breastplate shines with an untainted glow. With this Dawn Breastplate from Lin Wan Er, I look like a high level warrior.
Reaching the ground, I regain my balance and look around, not far away from me, there’s a small tent, within it resides four Dark Dwarves. Two of them are surrounding a soup cauldron, one’s stripping a wild goat of its skin and the last one is sharpening the edge of a war axe. Hu chi hu chi, the Dark Dwarf who was stripping the goat’s skin wheezes as he does the chore, commenting, “Damn it, these goat meats comes with a nasty stench, making me feel like vomiting. I prefer the taste of human girls. Last night, when we were raiding the human village, we killed all of the women after playing with them. I feel like… the prince’s way of doing things is way too violent, why can’t we bring those human girls here?”
Ga ga, the Dark Dwarf who was sharpening the war axe laughs and says, “Suo An , shut up. Don’t you dare question the prince’s way of doing things; you are too arrogant. If you don’t shut your mouth, this elder shall remove your head from your body with a swing of my axe, making you end up just like those humans!”
……
While carrying my sword, I confirm the distance between me and the Dark Dwarves. The distance which monsters would be aggro-ed would be around 20 meters, whereas the Dark Dwarf who is removing the goat’s skin was just around 20 meters away from him. Hm, I shall start with him, otherwise a 1V4 would be too stressful!
