aren’t they?
24: They are all jealous!
aren’t they?
Following the entrance of the Underworld Tomb, Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity took the lead, and everyone followed closely behind.
The stairs inside curved downward, as if connecting to the real underworld, and were so dark that they could not even see their own fingers.
Just as Kai was about to use the Golden Light Arrow as a light source… Suddenly, from both sides of the dark stairs, a few ghostly green flames burned out of thin air.
The light emitted by the ghostly flames was very cold, but it extended everyone’s visibility to about twenty meters.
Beyond twenty meters, nothing could be seen.
Moreover, these ghostly green flames could move autonomously, acting as lanterns for Kai and the others, slowly following them as they explored.
After another five minutes.
Ahead was no longer a staircase going down but an underground palace-like layout.
“Hehehe…” Right then, a creepy ghost laugh came from the darkness 20 meters away.
“Shadow Blaze.” Wind Rising Clouds shouted.
Kai knowingly raised his bow and launched the Golden Light Arrow.
A golden light arrow flew out from the bowstring and broke into the darkness twenty meters ahead.
Then it burst into golden light and covered the surroundings.
The light of the Golden Light Arrow could appear for ten seconds.
The skill’s cooldown was fifteen seconds.
At this time, everyone saw a group of very ugly ghosts twenty meters away.
They were barefoot and wearing linen clothes.
Their mouths were full open and their tongues were spinning in the air.
[Ghost Crossing]!
(Ordinary Ghost)!
Level: 18 Realm: Qi Refinement Health: 6,500 Attack: 255-331 Physical Defense: 250 Magic Defense: 250 Skill: (Wall Pounce) (Ghost Crossing from the Netherworld has the ability to penetrate walls and enter the ground.
It likes to pour its tongue into the mouth of living people, causing them to suffocate to death.) After reading the introduction of the Ghost Crossing, everyone’s expressions tightened.
Especially Xia Youmuxi and the other women, when they saw that the Ghost Crossing could pour its tongue into the mouths of living people, their faces turned pale.
The number of Ghost Crossings that appeared here had reached at least fifty to sixty.
“He who strikes first gains the advantage.
Attack!” Wind Rising Clouds calmed his mind and roared.
He took action in advance, casting a spell and summoning a wall of fire 15 meters away, forming a protective wall.
Wind Rising Clouds was a Spirit Blade Mage who specialized in fire.
A normal Qi Refinement Stage long-range DPS class would usually have an attack range of 15 to 18 meters.
At this moment, these Ghosts were all 20 meters away, and Wind Rising Clouds could not attack them.
However, Kai could attack them with his Sharp Bracelet’s additional attack range of five meters.
The distance within twenty-three meters was the limit of his attack range.
Kai locked onto a Ghost Crossing and raised his hand to release Lightning Chain Arrows.
The 13 energy arrows pierced through the wall of fire and hit a Ghost Crossing.
Damage: -269, -270, -268, Critical Hit -533, -271… Although [Soul Reaper] wasn’t triggered, the skill still dealt over 4000 damage.
This Ghost Crossing’s health of 6,500 was instantly reduced to 1,400.
“Hehehe…” Perhaps because of Kai’s attack, the other Ghosts were alarmed, and they immediately swarmed forward.
When the Ghosts penetrated the wall of fire, they were all burned by the flames, and white smoke rose from their bodies.
“It’s starting; everyone, be careful.” Wind Rising Clouds reminded everyone.
He then locked onto the Ghost Crossing, which had lost most of its health, and directly killed it with a fire attack.
However, although the Spirit Blade Mage’s magic attack was powerful, its mana consumption was also high.
He had already begun swallowing spiritual pills.
Silent’s Beloved and Qiu Luo Yumo immediately added buffs to everyone.
Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity were in full defense mode, standing in front of everyone.
Xue Wu and Xia Youmuxi guarded behind Kai and the others, protecting the back row.
When fifty to sixty Ghosts rushed through the fire wall and swarmed in, the first to bear the brunt of the attack were Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity.
Both of them had good equipment, especially Three Generations Prosperity, who was only a few pieces away from a full set.
This was the power of money!
A group of Ghosts rushed over, and a lot of damage jumped from Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity’s bodies.
Three Generations Prosperity’s defense was actually higher than Winter Solstice Rising Sun’s.
After all, he had more equipment and was one level higher than him.
His vitality was as high as 1,300, but under the first round of defense, his health had dropped by 400+.
Winter Solstice Rising Sun had added all his points to his overall physique, so although his equipment was not as good as Three Generations Prosperity’s, his total health was as high as 1,500+.
“Rising Sun, take the potion quickly.
I can’t heal you if your blood is dropping so fast.” Qiu Luo Yumo reminded him in time.
At the same time, she locked onto him and used a healing skill.
“Little guy, come forward and help.” Seeing this, Xia Youmuxi immediately let her pet, Little Horse Monkey Cub, rush forward.
The Little Horse Ba Monkey Cub, which had been upgraded to level 8 and had grown to 1.5 meters tall, rushed forward to help Winter Solstice Rising Sun take away two Ghosts.
“They’re still under too much pressure.
I’ll leave it to you to protect the back row.” Xue Wu held the heavy sword in her hand and quickly stepped forward with her two slender legs to reinforce the front row.
Faced with so many Ghosts rushing over, Kai also went all out.
He raised his hand and released another Cloud Piercing Arrow.
Eight energy arrows flew out like gold and cracked stone, passing through the pile of Ghosts in front of Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity.
The damage caused was over one thousand, which was spectacular.
Countless Ghosts screamed again and again.
Moreover, 3 of the arrows triggered [Soul Reaper], instantly killing 3 Ghosts.
Cloud Piercing Arrow was Kai’s current strongest group attack skill.
It seemed that the [Soul Reaper] potential had a particularly high probability of triggering on non-boss monsters.
It was as if bosses had a hidden resistance.
Thinking to himself, he quickly took out the [Level 1 Aura Arrow] again and shot it at the speed of wind and fire.
He maintained the rate of one arrow per second.
Even if [Soul Reaper] was not triggered, each arrow would still deal 270+ damage, and 500+ damage if it was a critical hit.
It couldn’t be helped.
Ghost Crossing was a Level 18 monster with high defense.
Wind Rising Clouds was also one of the main DPS players.
With the magic sword, each of his fire skills could deal more than 300 damage.
Moreover, Wind Rising Clouds was an experienced veteran.
He specifically picked off the Ghost Crossings that had already been beaten down by Kai.
With the two of them working together, they quickly harvested the Ghost Crossings’ HP.
From time to time, Ghosts would fall one after another, turning into experience.
For now, everything was holding steady, since the two big tanks, Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity, were both chugging blood potions.
Behind them, Silent’s Beloved and Qiu Luo Yumo kept the heals coming.
Just as Xia Youmuxi was considering leaving Kai’s side to step up and attack the Ghost Crossings herself, to boost the team’s overall output— Cackle, cackle… Three Ghost Crossings used their skill to slip past Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity, heading straight for Kai’s group.
Xia Youmuxi hadn’t become the vice president of Shuimu Guild on looks and long legs alone — her combat skill and technique were first-rate too.
She activated her sprint, closing the distance in a flash, her dagger flicking nimbly and viciously across the backs of all three Ghost Crossings.
All three hits landed as critical damage: over -200 each.
Stung by the pain, all three Ghost Crossings locked onto Xia Youmuxi and turned to attack her.
Relying on her agile footwork, she dodged two of the attacks, taking only one hit that showed -288 damage.
But her frame wasn’t as tough as the tanks’, with only 650 HP total.
Two more hits and she’d go down.
She quickly pulled out a health recovery Pill and popped it between her lips.
Kai reacted the fastest.
The moment his [Lightning Chain Arrows] came off cooldown, he unleashed it instantly, wiping out one of the already-weakened Ghost Crossings in a single stroke to relieve Xia Youmuxi.
Then he raised his hand for a quick basic attack, hitting another Ghost Crossing — and luckily triggered [Soul Reaper].
With two Ghost Crossings down in quick succession, Xia Youmuxi handled the last one on her own with ease.
Her bright eyes lit up with gratitude as she flashed Kai a smile and a nod.
“Hahaha, bringing you along for this mission was a genius move!
Otherwise, there’s no way we’d have cleared this treasure cave mission today.” Seeing how much damage Kai was putting out, Wind Rising Clouds praised him excitedly.
While continuing his attacks, Kai joked back, “Uncle, verbal praise doesn’t quite match up to a real reward, you know.
How about you bump my share of the treasure cave loot up another 10%, and I take 30%?” Wind Rising Clouds immediately scoffed.
“You’re pushing it.
I can throw in more money, sure, but asking for a bigger cut of the treasure?
That’s basically asking for my life.” “I’ve got the money — but there’s no way you’re getting a bigger share of the loot.” Kai laughed, secretly thinking the old man really was loaded and generous with cash, if nothing else.
But he wasn’t greedy either — it had just been a joke.
He didn’t actually need the extra cut from this uncle.
There was no need to be insatiable.
Thanks to Kai’s insanely strong output, this whole horde of Ghost Crossings was wiped out one by one within eight minutes, all turning into experience points.
On top of that, quite a few coins dropped on the ground.
It seemed the drop rate for monsters here was higher than out in the open world.
While cleaning up the battlefield, the quiet girl Xue Wu suddenly broke into an excited smile.
“There’s a piece of equipment.” Xue Wu posted a screenshot of the item in the team chat.
It was a pair of ungraded boots — mediocre stats, but given how scarce gear currently was, it still counted as a decent find.
The boots could be used by Spirit Blade, Ethereal Note, and Starweb.
