We continued onwards, taking a good look at the Thunder Blade Guard’s stats. His attacks had the lightning attribute and when he had only 10% of his health left, he would use an AOE skill named [Raging Thunder Blade]. It would probably deal 70% of his base attack, not a bad skill at all.
Less than a 100 meters forward, a ravine appeared with countless Thunder Blade Guards roaming inside. Wan Er immediately trembled at the sight; a happy look was apparent on her face, “Wow! It looks like I’ll be able to get to Lv 61 now…”
Taking a second look at the ravine, I felt uncertain. “It’s hard to say…with this many monsters, we’d have to kill them for at least 7 or 8 hours, how troublesome…”
Fox pondered a bit, then suddenly looked up upon hearing some sounds, “Xiao Yao, look out!”
“Eh?”
Looking up, I saw a scarlet meteorite with a flame trail flying out from behind the clouds. It was heading straight toward me. If I didn’t dodge this, then I’d surely be badly injured, if not killed. Not only that, the meteorite would hit a large area and both Dong Cheng and Yue Qing Qian were within range; there was only a second to react!
“Dammit!”
Inwardly whining, I quickly activated my [Haste]. As I rushed forward, I spread both of my arms out and quickly hugged both Dong Cheng and Yue Qing Qian to my chest and dove to the side. “Everyone be quiet and take cover!”
During the crisis, the two girls were stunned. Just as the meteorite was about to hit, they found themselves flying through the air into the nearby bushes!
“Bang!”
Behind me was a scorching piece of ground that was at the very least 2 meters in diameter. The meteor’s impact had completely blew away our previous footholds. The surrounding 100 meters were slanted downwards and even the grass nearby was burned into ashes.
I stood up while Dong Cheng and Yue Qing Qian looked on with fear, “What…what was that…”
Wan Er looked up to the skies, “So that’s how it is…”
Together, we all looked up into the sky and saw meteorites dropping in groups of 2 or 3 from the heavens, wreaking havoc onto the earth below. This had meant that not only do we have to pay close attention to the monsters and bosses on this map but we also had to keep track of the sky patterns and the meteorites.
“F**k…”
Fox clenched his rifle reluctantly, “This map is crazy isn’t it? It looks like we’ve triggered the meteorological mechanism, making clearing this map a whole lot more difficult for us.”
Dong Cheng Yue asked, “What do we do then? We can’t just stay here and kill while keeping track of the sky can we?”
I thought for a few seconds, “Well…we can have someone keep track of the sky, Fox can do that since his damage output isn’t that strong yet. He’ll play the experience baby and keep us updated on the circumstances of the sky. You’ll have to alert everyone when the time comes….”
Fox nodded as he stared at the clouds, “I think…after this map is cleared, my cervical spondylosis will be cured….”
TL: Cervical spondylosis is medical term for an age related wear and tear of the neck.
Naturally, I didn’t bother to comment on that.
……
“Boss…”, Matcha looked at the sky, warning me with a confident voice.
“What’s wrong, Matcha?” I asked.
Matcha smiled, “Haven’t you seen it yet? The trajectory of these meteors head south at 45 degrees, so that means we have a way to avoid these meteorites completely…”
“Oh? What method is that?”
