Chapter 145: Dark Ghost General
Ling Xue quickly went over, picking up the gold coins and then placing the two pieces of equipment in front of everyone. The first one was an axe.
[Pine Forest Axe] (Dark Iron Equipment)
Attack: 100-155
Strength: +5
Required level: 50
(Unidentified)
……
Everyone was stunned. A level 75 Gold Boss had dropped this kind of trash, so they had no choice but to find it hard to believe.
Ling Xue quickly threw the axe to me, just like the three pieces of Outcast Set from the Elite Monsters earlier. Then Ling Xue showed the other pieces of equipment from the boss which was a pair of leather boots.
[Spiritual Monkey Leather Boots] (Bronze Equipment)
Defense: 45
Agility: +12
Vitality: +5
Required level: 50
(Unidentified)
……
Seeing this, I knew that we were completely defeated by RNG this time. There were many teams that complained that they didn’t even get a piece of Silver Equipment from killing Gold Bosses and said that Moon Monochrome was too stingy. Now it seemed like that this really was possible. I thought that someone bursting with luck like me could get a piece of divine equipment from even a dog, but now that didn’t seem like the case.
The requirements of this piece of Bronze Equipment was very high. Although the stats were alright, it was unknown when an assassin would be able to equip this. The highest level assassin was currently only at level 48, so there was even less of a need to mention Zi Yue.
So the equipment belonged to Ling Yue and would be sold for funds for the studio. I also threw several other pieces of equipment to Ling Yue. Anyway, I wasn’t lacking anything and if I wanted to get rich, I had to make some connections!
Just like this, the incredibly broken boss was taken care of and it dropped two pieces of trash equipment. It was a good thing that after killing the Wilderness Wanderers and the boss here, everyone’s experience had increased by quite a bit. Zi Yue and Summer had leveled up and Ling Yue had reached level 56 while I had reached level 54. It seemed like the first level 60 player was about to appear soon and the top players of the Chinese Server would gather in the two main cities!
Ling Xue had been responsible for picking up the items the entire time. She blinked before calculating something, “Starting from when we came in, after around an hour and a half, I’ve collected several pieces of equipment and 4500 gold coins. How do we split these gold coins?”
Ling Xue looked over and I immediately looked away, not wanting to manage this.
Ling Yue said, “How about we split it evenly, 400 for everyone?”
Zi Yue and Summer felt a bit awkward because of this and quickly said, “We don’t need everything. We already feel embarrassed leeching experience from everyone, so how could we take the gold coins……”
Ling Yue revealed a smile, “Alright, then I’ll take it and treat it as income for the studio!”
Then Ling Yue looked forward and said, “The place behind the boss, it seems like there’s still a small map that we haven’t explored yet……”
There really was a small passage and it was unknown what was behind it.
So I wielded the Roaring Flame Spear and led the way as I said, “I’ll go in first, you just wait outside for me!”
The girls nodded, “Bookworm, be careful!”
When I walked into the passage, I found that there was a hidden map border here that actually connected to another map!
“Shua!”
With a flash of white light, I appeared in an ancient palace that was completely dark. There were black walls in front that seemed like they had ink on them, as if there was something rotten on it. It made people’s heart couldn’t help tremble when they looked at it!
Opening the minimap, I saw that the map’s name was: Death Hall!
Not far away, there were a row of soldiers covered in armour walking back and forth with long halberds in their hands. I couldn’t help thinking: I never thought that there would be NPCs here!
But I quickly noticed that these soldiers weren’t NPCs. Their names were red and when I looked clearly, I saw that their faces had already turned dark, looking very terrifying!
[Dark Ghost Soldiers] (Enhanced Monsters)
Level: 80
Attack: 850-950
Defense: 350
HP: 20000
Attack type: Armour shattering. Can ignore 35% of armour.
Additional: These human soldiers were enslaved by the demons and have become the soldiers that protect the Demon Palace’s treasure. They hold a grudge against all living beings and wield their weapons to destroy the existence of all life.
……
I was a bit surprised. Yi? This hall was actually called the Demon Palace and there was a treasure? Could it be that I had obtained a chance to earn a large fortune through the Star Eyes?
I couldn’t help being excited as I looked at the map. There were many paths and a very spacious hall, so if there were treasures, they would be there!
So I immediately sent a message in the party chat, “Girls, come quickly! It’s a chance to get rich!”
The girls from Xue Yue Studio came out of the passage and asked with excited looks, “Get rich? Could it be that there’s a good treasure here?”
I sent stats of the Dark Ghost Soldiers to them and Ling Xue’s beautiful eyes revealed a strange look. She said with a smile, “Since it’s like this, let’s get started then!”
Ling Yue sent out an ice arrow that caused one of the Dark Ghost Soldiers to look over with their red glowing eyes. They quickly came over, not giving me and Ling Xue a chance to block them!
“Kacha!”
The long spear hit Ling Yue’s mage robe and Ling yue’s protective shield had scattered as she lost half her HP. At the same time, there was a layer of frost that appeared over the Dark Ghost Soldier which was Ling Yue’s Ice Armour Skill’s reflection effect. It seemed like it was a skill that could save her life at the last second!
Ling Xue called out before quickly retreating. It was a good thing that the Dark Ghost Soldier’s move speed had decreased, so Ling Xue could hold it off with her sword. On the other side, there were three more Dark Ghost Soldiers from a team that came over!
I couldn’t help complaining. These monsters really were hard to deal with, four were pulled in at once. It seemed like it would be a bit hard to fight them!
So I let Ling Xue take care of that one as I quickly came forward, sweeping out with the Roaring Flame Spear, releasing a Whirlwind Slash, hitting the chests of the three Dark Ghost Soldiers. There were three ringing sounds as I attracted the aggro of all three Dark Ghost Soldiers at once!
“Wu, wu, wu, wu!”
The Dark Ghost Soldiers roared out as they attacked with their spears!
I immediately felt pain all over my body as I was hit with three attacks. Each attack did around 700 damage and I had lost close to half my HP!
Qin Yun called out in surprise as she quickly threw out a heal to restore around a thousand HP. Then she started using the intermediate heal as I swept out with my spear, letting out a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers and a Shield Break Slash!
“1208!”
“1347!”
“3285!”
It had to be said, the power of the Shield Break Slash really was too abnormal!
But the second attack of the Dark Ghost Soldiers came and I fell down to half HP again. It seemed like Qin Yun’s healing wasn’t able to keep up!
Bing Cha saw this and immediately came forward to pull one of the Dark Ghost Soldiers over with a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers. That Dark Ghost Soldier roared out as it stabbed with its spear, hitting Bing Cha’s chest. Bing Cha lost half her HP and her face turned pale as she quickly stepped back!
I was very speechless. When I was complaining, the surrounding area turned cold as snowflakes filled the air. Countless pieces of ice appeared around me as Ling Yue released her Thousand Miles Ice Seal!
“Pa, pa, pa!”
Three consecutive damage figures of over two thousand appeared above the heads of the Dark Ghost Soldiers. Their attack speed and move speed immediately decreased by a large amount, so I immediately left their attack range and took a step back before wielding my Roaring Flame Spear to release a Roaring Flame Soaring Dragon!
The unique Dragon Whisperer spell appeared and the flame dragon swallowed the Dark Ghost Soldiers in the front. With the attack of the Thousand Miles Ice Seal, with the attacks of flame and ice, the Dark Ghost Soldier gave a pitiful wail as it fell and dropped several dozen gold coins!
After it became two Dark Ghost Soldiers, Qin Yun’s healing was able to easily keep up. Quiet Rain Fall’s shield breaking arrows were able to do around 350 damage and the noob wolf Summer called out was even able to do some damage. Zi Yue snuck up behind one of the Dark Ghost Soldiers and she was able to deal some damage before quickly escaping. It seemed like she had learned something!
It could be said that Ling Yue’s Thousand Miles Ice Seal had changed the situation, as we spent the rest of the time taking care of the Dark Ghost Soldiers. Ling Xue didn’t find it that hard to face one Dark Ghost Soldier alone and Qin Yun was a skilled healer, so she still helead for Ling Xue when she didn’t heal me. Every time Ling Xue’s HP fell down to half, the light of Qin Yun’s heal would fall over her head.
Five minutes later, the small team of Dark Ghost Soldiers were taken care of. The experience and gold coins was decent, but there wasn't any equipment.
There was only one path in the Death Hall and it was a long path, but there were always groups of the annoying Dark Ghost Soldiers along the way. It was a good thing that we had experience and Ling Yue was good with her ice spells. After using the Thousand Miles Ice Seal to slow them down, Quiet Rain Fall and I attacked them with our arrows, bringing one of them down to a sliver of health. As the other three approached, I would change to the Roaring Flame Spear to act as a meat shield.
Ling Yue couldn’t help saying with a smile, “Bookworm really is too easy to use……”
I was a confused as I asked, “What easy to use?”
Summer said with a smile, “What other use is there? Silly Bookworm……”
I looked at Ling Yue and Ling Yue looked back at me, “Not allowed to ask, keep killing mobs!”
So I continued leading the way. Qin Yun looked at me with a smile, but she didn’t say anything.
It was a completely mechanical process of killing mobs to level. Our group had many players with different Jobs, but each player could be considered an outstanding player among players with the same Job. Ling Yue was already a powerful ice mage, Ling Xue could attack and retreat as a high grade swordsman, and Qin Yun was an unparalleled cleric in Sunset City. So these Dark Ghost Soldiers that should have had a powerful defense that was hard to deal with, they were easily taken care of with our attack power.
If a group of level 50 players with Bronze Equipment came here, perhaps only the swordsmen would be able to deal around 500 damage to the Dark Ghost Soldiers and the mages would do around the same damage. It would take a long time for them to kill these Dark Ghost Soldiers and it would cost them many potions. It wasn’t like our studio where a casual ice arrow was two thousand and my Roaring Flame Soaring Dragon was around three thousand damage!
The long road was winding and the number of Dark Ghost Soldiers along the way surpassed our expectations. We only got halfway when it was around two in the afternoon, so Ling Xue said, “Should we log off and eat before coming back?”
I shook my head, “No, we’ll get sent right out of the White Bone Wilderness if we log off now, so we can’t do that. Endure a bit, at worst we’ll have lunch and dinner at the same time!”
Ling Xue nodded with a smile, “Un!”
So when it was five in the afternoon, we finally reached the end of the path. It wouldn’t take long before we reached the final hall!
The hall had twelve pillars for support and there was some dark moss on them. There were also faint engravings which seemed like they were made by ancient humans. In the center of this hall, there was a pure black throne!
On the throne was a realistic looking dragon and the more surprising thing was that there was a withered person sitting there with a jet black blade and a set of armour!
Ling Xue was surprised as she asked in a low voice, “Little fool, do you think the person in the throne is alive or dead?”
I said in a low voice, “Dead, but they can still move!”
There was a red glow in that person’s eye sockets. Slowly his name appeared, which was the Dark Ghost General. The sword in his hand suddenly started moving!
Ling Yue quickly said, “It’s still moving, it’s most likely the boss! Everyone, stand a bit further away!”
We were very aware of this and backed off. At the same time, the boss already stood up as the dark cloak fluttered behind him and he raised his blade. There was a voice that suddenly came from his body.
“Ignorant and lowly humans, you dare to have ideas of the treasures of this place! There is only one path for you and that is death!”
The Dark Ghost General wielded his blade and sent out a sharp glow that left a deep hole in the ground!
Ling Xue and I looked at each other. Was this boss giving a demonstration?
I quickly looked at him with the Star Eyes and the boss’ stats appeared.

……
It’s actually a level 85 Dark Gold Boss. I couldn’t help taking a cold breath as the girls who couldn’t see his stats revealed a look of despair. Not long ago, Fated and Bloodthirsty sent out close to a thousand people to take care of a level 85 Dark Gold Boss and now that there were only eight of us, would we have a chance to kill it?
