Chapter 108: Tomb of Fear
That night, Ling Xue and Ling Yue looked down at me in disdain.
Ling Xue said, “In the future, if you can’t recognize me or my big sister ever again, I will write the word “idiot” on your forehead and make you walk down the streets!”
Ling Yue said, “Ling Xue, you shouldn’t be this cruel, it’s embarrassing. How about having Bookworm put a red flower on his chest like a new groom and write “handsome” under that flower. Then we can make him walk around the streets a few times~~”
I said in a voice of sorrow, “It’s better to kill me!”
Being looked down by these two beauties, I returned to the studio and my room, but I didn’t feel that sleepy. The Star Chasing Bow was back in my hand, so under this stimulation, it was better to keep leveling. Anyway, there were few people leveling at night, so I might as well level more effectively while there were fewer people!
So, I logged on again.
When I appeared in the depths of the Hero Memorial Park, it was close to midnight. The players leveling here had disappeared and in the broad tomb in front of me, there were white Skeleton Demons wandering around on the black dirt.
Looking at my friends list, the girls from Xue Yue were all offline, they must have taken their showers and gone to bed. Only the people from Sword Flame were still leveling. Sword Flame Dragon Soul and Sword Flame Heavenly Punisher were level 45, reaching the 22nd and 23rd rank in the Chinese level rankings. My ranking was very pitiful right now, it was all the way in the ten millionth. There were plenty of people above me, I couldn’t even count them all.
So I equipped the Star Chasing Bow and looked at my stats. I found that my attack power had greatly increased.
Easily Angered Bookworm (Beginner Dragon Whisperer)
Level: 35
HP: 2430
Attack: 335-450 (Spear) 535-650 (Bow)
Defense: 490
Prestige: 16391
Luck: 0
…...
It seemed like the advantages of the Star Chasing Bow really were highlighted, it actually had 200 points more damage. It seemed like I had to use the Star Chasing Bow to quickly level. I had to reach level 45 as soon as possible and equip the Dark Gold Roaring Flame Spear, that way I could truly walk through Sunset City unfettered!
But with my increase in attack power and with my High Grade Thousand Bladed Arrows, it really was a waste if I didn’t use it here!
So I immediately jumped out and attracted several Skeleton Demons to chase me, but I wasn’t satisfied with this. I continued moving forward and when the Skeleton Demons gathered behind me, I finally stopped and released the Thousand Bladed Arrows!
“Shua!”
Rainbow light was released and instantly turned into thousands of arrows falling on the monsters. There were damage figures that appeared and damage points between 500 to 1000 appeared above the heads of the Skeleton Demons. These Enhanced Monster Skeleton Demons had 8000 HP and my Thousand Bladed Arrows had a cooldown of five seconds, so it would take around a minute to kill them all!
Of course, the Thousand Bladed Arrows couldn’t cover over a hundred monsters, so to really kill them all, it was impossible without spending seven to eight minutes fighting them!
“Zeng, zeng!”
The spears of the Skeleton Demons left marks on my armour, but the damage I received was minimized. It had to be said, with proper armour, at least it was much safer when I was killing monsters!
But I still walked carefully, paying attention to my actions. The Skeleton Demons were led around by me like the tail of a comma and I was the dot bringing them around, killing them with the Thousand Bladed Arrows.
After ten minutes, I changed to the Bloodthirsty Spear and released an Ice Wind Thorn. The cone shaped ice pierced with a roar as the final Skeleton Demon collapsed to the ground, dropping a gold coin!
There were a bunch of corpses in front of me, as well as glowing gold coins and equipment!
I went forward with a smile and picked them all up. After spending ten minutes, I received two hundred gold coins and four pieces of high level Dark Iron Equipment. I couldn’t help laughing as although these equipment weren’t that great, at least I had the ability to grind out gold coins!
Moreover, what made me the happiest was my leveling speed. I was level 34% of level 35 just half an hour ago, but now I was at 69%, which meant I had gone up 35%. This meant that by leveling on these powerful monsters, I could level up ion around two hours!
Of course, that was only because my level was low right now. When I reached around level 38, it wouldn’t increase that much.
The Skeleton Demons didn’t respawn that fast and three hours passed in the blink of an eye. I had this leveling zone all to myself and during this time, I went from level 35 to level 37, which could be considered a very fast leveling speed. But when I was organizing my potions, I found that there weren’t many monsters left.
There was a roar roar from the distance and it was a corpse eating ghost that poked its head out of the ground.
[Greedy Scavenger] (Normal monster)
Level: 50
Attack: 420-550
Defense: 80
HP: 7000
Additional: Plague attack, can contaminate a target with a kind of dark poison.
…...
I was a bit surprised, this corpse eating ghost had such a high attack! There was a row of white teeth that was surrounded in rotten flesh, looking very fierce. This corpse eating ghost was small, so running around, it looked very terrifying!
“Pa!”
I sent out an armour piercing arrow which hit the corpse eating ghost’s head. The white light bloomed and there was a 1408 damage figure that appeared above the corpse eating ghost’s head!
I laughed. Although this level 50 monster’s attack was strong, its defenses really were minimal!
However, before I could be happy, I saw the corpse eating ghost that I had attacked wailed out and it acted like it was summoning something. Very soon, there was a large group of corpse eating ghosts behind it!
The corpse eating ghosts were very quick, there were even faster than me!
I was suddenly shocked, this situation suddenly became a bit dangerous!
“Shua!”
After releasing a Thousand Bladed Arrows, I quickly moved backwards. I found that there were over a hundred corpse eating ghosts and they all looked terrifying. There was a greedy glow in their red eyes and it seemed like they were looking at me like a plate of braised meat.
I secretly complained as I quickly moved through the tombstones. But one of the corpse eating ghosts appeared in front of me and the rest of them quickly came forward like a wave!
Damn, I was trapped. I couldn’t block the teeth of the corpse eating ghosts with just my level 30 Bronze Armour!
I knew this, so I held up the Bloodthirsty Spear, releasing a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers at the corpse eating ghost in front of me. I didn’t stop as I charged through the gap towards the high slope, not forgetting to turn to release a Thousand Bladed Arrow!
Although it was like this, I was hit by the claws of the corpse eating ghost several times, losing around 300 HP each time. With these strong attacks, I was close to being in danger several times. It was a good thing that my archer’s Dodge had activated at crucial moments, letting me climb the cliff safely with three misses!
The night wind blew and my dark cloak flapped, but my heart was cold as I looked around. I was done for, I was completely trapped and there was a ten meter high cliff behind me!
“Jie, jie……”
The corpse eating ghosts came forward as drool came from their sharp teeth.
I kept complaining. I already heard that there were powerful dark creatures in the depths of the Hero Memorial Park, but I never thought I would meet them today. What I didn’t expect even more was that these monsters had such a high attack that it was like having my flesh rotted when being touched, making me call out in pain!
“Shua!”
With another Thousand Bladed Arrows, more damage figures appeared among the corpse eating ghosts, averaging around 800 damage each! However, when I was about to shoot my next Thousand Bladed Arrows, there were a few corpse eating ghosts that charged forward! Their sharp claws flew through the air to land right on the armour at my chest!
My HP dropped by half and I quickly took several steps back, but then I felt that there was nothing under me!
“Hu!”
I lost my balance and fell off the cliff!
While flying through the air, I quickly swallowed a health potion!
“Putong!”
With a heavy sound, I landed on the ground. I was dizzy as I saw the damage figure above my head.
“1124!”
I looked at my health and was scared. There was less than 300 HP left, I had almost died!
“Good fellow, truly dangerous!”
I touched my chest and out of fear, I swallowed another health potion.
Looking up, I found the group of corpse eating ghosts were on the edge of the cliff, glaring down at me. However, what made them helpless was that the system’s rules made it so they couldn’t fall off cliffs, otherwise they would have jumped down to rip me to pieces!
I was very happy seeing this. The cliff’s edge was raised, so there were several corpse eating ghosts staring at me from the edge.
I took a step forward and I was surprised to find that I was only fifteen yards away, but the firing range of my arrows was twenty yards!
With this joy, I took out the Star Chasing Bow and pulled the string back to release a rainbow coloured glow!
“Shua!”
With soft sounds, the corpse eating ghosts received damage, but they couldn’t move as they just stared at me!
In less than half a minute, the ones in front fell to the ground and my experience increased!
But this didn’t last long. Although the monsters didn’t have much intelligence, they still had some. Very soon, a large group of corpse eating ghosts found a road down from the cliff and circled around!
I was very miserable as I went around, using the Thousand Bladed Arrows to attract the corpse eating ghosts while smoothly moving through the trees. I used the dexterity of the archer to move slightly away from the ghosts, but if I turned back to attack, I would be quickly caught.
Like this, I made a decision! Forget it, I’ll jump off the cliff again! I can take care of thirty corpse eating ghosts at once, so I’ll only have to jump three times!
So, I followed a pattern as I jumped off the cliff again. Then I turned to use the Thousand Bladed Arrows to kill the corpse eating ghosts in front. As expected, the edge of the cliff was covered in sparkling gold coins and there was even equipment dropped among them! But I didn’t have time to pick them up at all, the most important thing was to take care of the corpse eating ghosts!
Just like this, in the dark night filled with wind, a young soldier in black armour ran and jumped off the cliff with a group of fierce corpse eating ghosts behind him. This person was having fun.
After close to an hour, the corpse eating ghosts all fell under my technique. When the last corpse eating ghosts charged forward while brandishing its claws, I took out the Bloodthirsty Spear and released an Ice Wind Thorn. The spear turned into a cone of ice as it hit the corpse eating ghost, causing the blood of the corpse eating ghost to fall onto the ice!
“Peng!”
When the ice cone shattered, the corpse eating ghost also fell, dropping two gold coins and a piece of armour.
While laughing, I found that I was already level 38, a very good number.
I quickly went forward to collect all the gold coins, which was a total of 257. As for the equipment, there were three pieces of Bronze Armour and four pieces of Black Iron Equipment.
It seemed like the drop rate of high grade armour isn’t high, but the drop rate of low grade Dark Iron Armour was quite stable.
Looking into the distance, I found that there was a dark green glow from the entrance of the tomb where I attracted these corpse eating ghosts. Going forward, there was only this dark light and I didn’t see any more of these corpse eating ghosts. They must have been all killed by me.
When I stepped onto the stairs into the tomb, I found that my minimap had changed.
There was a system notification: You have entered the Tomb of Fear!
…...
The surroundings were very dim and there were a bunch of human skeletons piled in a corner. The walls were black like rotten flesh, making people want to vomit when they looked at them. It was even more terrifying than dark woods, it was no wonder this was called the Tomb of Fear.
At this time, I found a dark figure walking in front of me! It was actually two skeletons wearing black armour who were patrolling!
[Tomb Guard] (Elite Monster)
Level: 50
Attack: 480-600
Defense: 200
HP 120000
Additional: Undead attack, causes 10% more damage to armour.
…...
“Pa!”
I sent out an arrow and attracted one of the Tomb Guards!
“986!”
The armour piercing arrow was quite strong. The Tomb Guard let out a howl and charged forward with its sharp sword. It moved very fast and I gave up the idea of shooting arrows, which would have been seeking death.
“Shua!”
With a cold glow, the Tomb Guard’s sharp sword slashed on my armour, dealing 542 damage to me!
“Damn! It’s this strong……”
I was forced back several steps and was pushed against the ice cold wall. As expected, the difference in levels was too much and this was an Elite Monster, so it seemed like it would be difficult to kill it!
