No matter what Chufei Yue thought, Qin Yue was hugging Lin Dong Bing Feng, laughing nonstop, finally finding someone with the same interests. This made Bing Feng's face turn a bit red.
At this moment, Xue Piao Si Ji and Yu Huo Rong Feng came over with a broken piece of wood and a pair of black, scorched horns.
"Hey, big harvest. Two pieces of fine-grade equipment! And they're both rare parts," Xue Piao Si Ji said, revealing the attributes of the two pieces of equipment in her hand.
"Terrifying Treant Mask: Fine, Heavy Armor, Head. A wooden mask made from the face of a vine treant, looking quite terrifying. Physical Defense +47, Magic Defense +26. Removes head weakness, attaches a fear effect when attacking, with a certain chance to scare the enemy away. Attack has a bloodsucking effect, absorbing 10% of the attack damage to restore health. Equipment Requirement: Level 23, Strength 8."
"Agile Shadow Leopard Shoulder Guard: Fine, Leather Armor, Shoulder. A shoulder guard made from the shoulder spines of a shadow blade leopard, both light and sharp. Physical Defense +20, Physical Attack +20, Magic Defense +20. Attack Speed +5%, Movement Speed +2, adds 100% physical damage and a bleeding effect when shoulder ramming. Equipment Requirement: Level 17, Strength 5, Agility 8."
The mask was clearly a miniaturized version of the treant's ugly face, looking extremely fierce. The shoulder guard was quite unique, made by peeling off the shadow blade leopard's shoulder along with the skin underneath, and after processing, it looked quite decent.
These two pieces of equipment were clearly for melee combat, but Yu Huo Rong Feng only took the shoulder guard.
"Such an ugly mask, whoever wants it can have it."
With one sentence, she dismissed the fine-grade mask that others would pay a fortune for. Sometimes, a girl's stubbornness can be quite powerful.
Clearly, Xue Piao Si Ji had the same thought. Without even trying to persuade, she directly put the mask away. This kind of thing, whoever wants it can have it, and if not, it will just gather dust in the guild warehouse.
"Xiao Meng, you're really amazing! You killed the BOSS so easily, you must be the one at the top of the level ranking, right?" Sister Xue said with a tone of certainty in her question.
Chufei Yue nodded and then ran over to skin the leopard. The shadow blade leopard's skin was a good thing, and most of the effects of Elegance of the Cat came from this.
"Look, Xiao Meng's gathering skill is special, it can directly decompose the corpse," Xue Piao Si Ji pointed to the leopard that Chufei Yue had disassembled into pieces, explaining to Bing Feng.
Bing Feng nodded, gaining a better understanding of Chufei Yue's uniqueness.
After killing two BOSSes, they obtained a fine-grade "Smooth Shadow Blade Leopard Fur" and a bag of excellent-grade "Vine Treant" seeds, along with a bunch of miscellaneous items. Chufei Yue didn't lose out.
...
After killing the two BOSSes, Chufei Yue had nothing much to do. The small monsters didn't need his intervention; Yu Huo Rong Feng took care of them.
Xue Piao Si Ji told Chufei Yue that they were going to the east of Fertile City to the Flame Canyon to find the "Blazing Wine" hidden by the "Flame Giant." This quest was taken by Yu Huo Rong Feng from a drunk beggar in a small alley of Fertile City. Xue Piao Si Ji speculated that this might be a hidden class quest, as only Yu Huo Rong Feng could see the drunk.
Fertile City lived up to its name, with fields and forests along the way. Even the monsters weren't too powerful, making it a great place to level up. Thinking of this, Chufei Yue recalled the strange and dangerous creatures in the forest outside Huating City, and the difference was quite significant.
On the way, they often encountered other players, sometimes even greeting each other. This game didn't have a return scroll, so to get back to a big city, one had to either commit suicide or use the teleportation array in the village chief's house. The teleportation array in the village chief's house wasn't free; one had to complete a series of long and tedious tasks. Of course, one could also pay, 10 gold coins per use, a real rip-off.
The journey was relatively peaceful, with no incidents like rich brats harassing virtuous maidens or heroes saving besieged beauties. They arrived at the quest location quite calmly.
—At the entrance.
Of course, a canyon has an entrance.
Looking at the canyon not far away, which resembled a narrow strip of sky, Chufei Yue couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. The rocks here were all red, with flames occasionally leaping out from them. A vertical stone slab stood on the other side of the cliff, clearly serving as a bridge.
Yes, in front of the Flame Valley was a deep, bottomless crevice, which encircled the Flame Valley, making it a secluded place. Although it was discovered long ago, it hadn't been explored due to the lack of flying capabilities.
Of course, the forum had nearly ten thousand posts speculating about what was inside.
To cross this crevice, one had to go to the other side and lower the large stone slab. The game company wouldn't design an impossible quest for players, so Xue Piao Si Ji initially came to try it out.
But, flying to the other side was something Chufei Yue could do now.
...
"Sister Xue, I'm going."
According to the plan, Chufei Yue flew over the crevice to the other side to lower the stone slab.
When he reached the center of the crevice, Chufei Yue looked down. The crevice was pitch black, with only a thin red line visible.
The red line at the bottom must be a river of lava. This is really deep, how did it form?
Chufei Yue quickly flew over the crevice, which was like a natural chasm, and began to study the thick stone slab.
...
Seeing Chufei Yue floating in the air, the three girls from the Flying Snow Alliance were a bit worried. Such a slender girl, what if she gets blown away by the wind?
Qin Yue looked around and covered her mouth, giggling.
My plan seems to be half successful, oh yeah~~
...
Chufei Yue frowned, looking at the stubborn stone slab in front of him, feeling a bit frustrated.
This thing isn't held by any chains, how is it staying here? This completely defies the laws of physics. Do I have to blow it down? What if it gets damaged?
While pondering, Chufei Yue inadvertently took a few steps back. Then a large elemental energy mass appeared within his "Imagination" range.
"Hmm?"
Chufei Yue turned his head alertly, looking at the "Narrow Sky" wall dozens of meters away. The large energy mass he had sensed was hidden inside that stone wall.
But this stone wall looks quite ordinary, red and no different from others.
Chufei Yue walked up to the stone wall and placed his hand on it.
Earth element, condense.
A yellow light band flowed from Chufei Yue's hand into the stone wall, evenly covering the wall, forming a thin layer of earth.
After retracting the earth layer, a pile of sand flowed out from the wall, revealing a thin layer inside.
Fire element, condense.
This time, Chufei Yue filled the gap with a lot of fire elements, adding a bit of water element as a trigger. He quickly used "Acceleration" to fly far away.
While escaping, a loud explosion came from behind Chufei Yue.
"Boom!"
With a huge explosion, the wall was thinned by Chufei Yue. Countless pieces of earth were blown away, with the farthest ones landing on the other side of the crevice.
The wind pressure from the explosion pushed Chufei Yue back quite a distance, but he wasn't hit by the rocks. After a sigh of relief, Chufei Yue turned around and looked at the wall he had blown up.
"Oh~~"
Inside, there was actually a giant embedded!
