Zhan Yue-Chapter 635- Heavy hammer
Along with a bunch of Ice Cavern Soldiers collapsing, finally the first Chaotic Grade normal monster was ahead. The Iron Hammer Warrior hollered and its body was like a pulled bow. It pounced forwards and its heavy hammer landed on Lin Xi’s Heaven Umbrella. Lin Xi was hit and knocked back into Gu Ruyi’s full chest. The two of them cried out. Lin Xi’s strength was so high and she was still forced back. One had to say that the Iron Hammer Warrior was really strong.
“This is a Chaotic Grade Monster?”
Shen Mingxuan used a Shockwave Arrow to stun it and she frowned, “We can treat it as a boss to attack.”
“Good that you know how strong it is!”
I turned around to use a set of skills on it but it didn’t hurt much. This thing was so tanky. 10 million health wasn’t a joke. Even if I dealt 80 thousand damage it didn’t feel like much. Along with Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xi and Gu Ruyi’s damage, it would take 20-30 seconds to kill this slightly stronger monster.
“Ignorant human!”
The Iron Hammer Warrior looked very vicious and he hollered, “I have the strength that you will never touch. Come, feel the strength of the hammer. My hammer is 648 kilograms, my small hammer is 328 kilograms! One hammer to imprison the land, two to destroy rivers! If you don’t bow down then prepare to die!”
My body shook, “You are actually Lei… Lei Huo…”
“What?”
Lin Xi was confused.
“Nothing!”
I waved, “You know that I am the designer of Destiny and Illusionary Moon so Lei Huo is an invincible presence. No need to ask, there is no value in knowing.”
Lin Xi was speechless.
Shen Mingxuan said, “Nerds are so disgusting, no one can understand what they are saying.”
“Shoot your arrows, you really talk too much!”
I frowned, “Shen Mingxuan you are 4th in damage, you useless…”
“I…”
She gritted her teeth and started to work harder to deal damage. She stopped asking about such things.
……
A few seconds later, the Iron Hammer Warrior’s health emptied out. The moment he fell, Lin Xi and I were filled with anticipation. A Chaotic Grade monster had a chance of dropping Chaotic Grade equipment and skill books. Although the drop rate was low but one had to have dreams. However, the moment the Iron Hammer Warrior dropped a few gold coins, Lin Xi and I smiled. How could it drop Chaotic Grade gear?
Not even blue equipment.
But the points he gave were quite high. As a normal monster, he gave 5000 points right away, 1000 for each person. This was not something that other normal monsters could compare to. It could be considered a small reward. But in terms of efficiency, other monsters might be even quicker.
The appearance of the Iron Hammer Warrior was like a lucky box, giving us a chance to get Chaotic Grade equipment.
Just like that, after half an hour, we finally cleared out the dense group of monsters here. The group was covered in gold and low grade equipment. After picking them up, Shen Mingxuan smiled, “Just half an hour, a total of 960 thousand points, oh my god, this rate has never been seen before…”
“640 thousand points an hour, that is a little too much.”
Lin Xi picked up the gold on the ground and smiled, “There is no boss in this level, okay let’s head down to the second floor. Lu Li open the path and draw the monsters. Let’s try to replicate the successful example.”
“Understood.”
I held my daggers and walked to the front. A pitch black ice tunnel connected down. After we headed to the second floor, a cold wind blew over. It was chilling to the bone. In that black darkness, Shifang Flame Spiral Eye could see many undead holding spears and wearing armor and grey robes. They stood in the empty space like terracotta warriors.
“Why can’t we see anything?”
Light Lotus walked over and said, “This map… Pitch black.”
“Right!”
Lin Xi held her Fallen Frost Sword and lit up the area five yards ahead and asked, “Lu Li can your god eye see anything?”
“Yup, like day.”
I smiled, “Lin Xi, lead everyone to take positions at the end. I will send Orange Night and White Bird to you and go draw monsters myself. Just toss your skills head. It doesn’t matter if you can’t see anything.”
“Okay.”
Gu Ruyi smiled, “I will use Dragonflame Whirlpool to light everything up.”
“En!”
……
I activated Ash Fortress and charged into the crowd. My daggers danced to absorb health. I continued to charge forwards and instantly drew aggro from all monsters here. There were too many and they pushed one another. These monsters were called Spear Terracotta. Their attack and defence were higher than the level above. Apart from that, there were some Spear Generals that were all Chaotic Grade Monsters. There were about 20 of them and they were the rewards for us on this floor.
Three minutes later, I led a huge group of monsters back and said solemnly, “I’m here, I’m here, take positions and prepare to damage!”
But the space around was pitch black and one could only hear the dense footsteps of the Spear Terracotta and it definitely felt chilling. I could even sense the fear on Lin Xi’s face. After all, she was a girl and it was normal for her to be afraid. But she held her sword and touched the fur of the White Deer. She stood there and didn’t plan to retreat at all.
“Dragonflame Whirlpool!”
I came to White Bird’s side and filled up the last hole in our defence. Then, I tossed out Apprehension. The moment Ruyi raised her staff, dragonform energy formed above and spat out a whirlpool to light up the entire hall. The vicious faces of the warriors could be seen. Lin Xi slashed right away and was like an iron pillar protecting her sisters behind her.
“Orange Night, White Bird, go all out!”
I waved my daggers while giving orders. The two puppets attacked. Orange Night’s demon spear caused a storm to sweep the monsters. White Bird’s attacks were stronger. Her blade turned into cold light that exploded in the crowd. Shocking damage numbers jumped up.
“The undead’s will will never be broken!”
A low health Spear Terracotta pounced forwards and roared. The spear pierced through Lin Xi and my body with Spear Thrust, dealing damage to Gu Ruyi, Shen Mingxuan, Light Lotus!”
“Not good!”
Lin Xi gritted her teeth, “Their skills have AOE. Ruyi use your skill. Mingxuan be careful. Lu Li focus your heals. Light Lotus, focus on your healing too!”
“Understood!”
Light Lotus played the pipa and her Celestial Wind Jade Dew skill covered the field to provide health to everyone every second. I raised my hand and used Saint Healing Hammer. A golden hammer smashed down and turned into a golden rain to heal our injuries. Lin Xi and Shen Mingxuan’s health filled up.
“Be careful!”
I looked at the soldiers and said, “Their spears keep giving us pressure. Ruyi use the shield. Shen Mingxuan, can you tank it?”
“Don’t worry!”
She raised her chest and said confidently, “My avoidance rate is high, they won’t hit me every time. Just use Envoy of Light and Saint Healing Hammer on me.”
“Understood.”
Everyone is fully focused. We had no choice, they were of much threat to us. We could only fight them head on. We used our equipment's durability in exchange for points.
Fortunately, although their attack was high but our equipment was good enough. Even if they focus us, Shen Mingxuan’s 120 thousand health could tank it. Ruyi was super tanky with Dragon Shield. One shield could block 20-30 spears. Their skills were so overpowered, it didn’t make any sense.
As for Light Lotus, she was in the backline and the damage she took was really weak. Along with her damage reduction skills and healing, she didn’t have to fear anything.
Not long later, two spear generals attacked. Lin Xi and I took one each. I used Flames of Karma+Hunter’s Edge while saying, “Ignore these Chaotic Grade monsters. Don’t focus fire. Ruyi, Shen Mingxuan, use AOE skills. Let’s not let them drag us down.”
“That makes sense.”
Lin Xi smiled, “AOE is very efficient, no need to bother about these two Chaotic Grade monsters.”
Thus, everyone ignored them. Only Lin Xi and I focused on them. Ruyi used Dragonflame Whirlpool and Lightning Dragon Storm to attack the densest region of monsters. Shen Mingxuan used Storm Arrow and her basic attacks to damage. The entire area was filled with explosion noises. Especially the Dragon Mage, her spells would cause dragon roars. Leveling with Ruyi was like being in Dragon Valley, one could hear many roars.
When I was thinking about that, my daggers triggered a critical strike. A Chaotic Grade Spear General cried out and fell in front of me. The moment he fell, he dropped a red helmet.
“Red helmet?”
Shen Mingxuan was shocked, “Is it… Chaotic Grade?”
